Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 670: The First Forced Reign
Kim Sung-jun and Kim Hee-ya have just arrived at the hospital, but if they want to see Kim Gun-young, they need to apply from the prosecutors guarding the door.

Such a visitation request was naturally passed on to Park Tae-soo, who was responsible for approving visitation requests.

"So soon?" Park Tae-soo frowned. "This is only the first day of the temporary detention center, and you're applying for a second visit?"

"No."

As the top person in charge of this case, Park Tae-soo naturally has this power.

After getting confirmation from the prosecutor in front of her, Jin Xiya seemed very dissatisfied, "Not allowed?"

"We followed the normal procedures to apply for visitation but you didn't allow it? Aren't the prosecutors going too far?"

The people standing guard at the door with their ID cards hanging around their necks were not impressed. The ones who could stay here were naturally Park Tae-soo's confidants, and they knew who they were. The prosecutor on the left side of the door said, "Ms. Jin Xiya, this is your second request for visitation today. Please don't make it difficult for us."

The words were spoken politely, but they sounded like they were keeping people at a distance.

"." Jin Xiya was choked. She had never been a very eloquent person. After the prosecutor found such sufficient reasons, she couldn't think of any other way.

"I won't embarrass you all." Jin Shengjun stretched out his hand to stop Jin Xiya and took a step forward. "How about we come over tomorrow?"

The prosecutors on both sides exchanged glances without leaving any trace, and looked at Jin Shengjun expressionlessly, "Please ask the deputy minister to apply."

After being rejected by an outsider, Jin Shengjun accomplished nothing the whole day and only learned some possible truths.

When he went to see Li You, he was caught by his sister Jin Xiya, and when he went to see Jin Jianying, he was blocked outside by the prosecutors.

He was also a little unhappy. Looking at Jin Xiya who still wanted to fight for her, Jin Shengjun snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.

Jin Xiya looked at his back, then looked at the ward that she could not enter, and could only helplessly follow Jin Shengjun's footsteps.

Until today, Jin Xiya herself has always had a strange feeling that she must have overlooked something.

Quickly catching up with Jin Shengjun, Jin Xiya sighed: "I didn't expect it either."

"They can have a hundred reasons for not wanting us to meet," Jin Shengjun has dealt with prosecutors quite a lot and knows the nature of prosecutors on the Peninsula well.

To be more precise, the "laws" of the Korean Peninsula are like a swimming pool for prosecutors, and they can swim however they want.

"Brother," Jin Xiya hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Does the truth that Brother Yongjun said have anything to do with me?"

She was not a stupid person. Since leaving prison, she had been thinking about Jin Yongjun's expression and words.

'Jin Xiya, you are not qualified to tell me those great truths', 'Who do you think made me like this', 'It seems you don't know yet'.
"Who knows? Big brother is always thinking about all sorts of things, being jealous of this and that. I think he is the same to everyone he meets."

Kim Sung-jun didn't want to tell Kim Hee-ya his guess, nor did he turn to look at her, but strode to the hospital parking lot.

This time, the two did not continue to ride in the same car. Kim Hee-ya stood in front of the car that came to pick her up and watched Kim Sung-jun get in silently.

Kim Hee-ya was still giving the "salute" until Kim Sung-jun's car drove past her.

"What are you looking at?" Jin Shengjun opened the back window. "Want to take my car home? Although I'm not going home today, it's okay for me to give you a ride."

"No need, brother," Jin Xiya came back to her senses and quickly refused with a smile.

After Kim Sung-jun's car disappeared and Kim Hee-ya got into the car, she suddenly thought of a terrible fact.

"Director Park, please drive faster," Jin Xiya suddenly clenched her fists, but the more she tried to put this idea aside, the more it coincided with many of her previous memories.

The anxiety and uneasiness in her heart were also reflected on her face.

Director Park, who was her bodyguard and driver, noticed her expression in the mirror and could only silently step on the accelerator.

Jin Xiya was quickly sent back home, but when she saw her mother Liu Caiyan, who had always been gentle, her uneasiness reached its peak.

"Mom" Jin Xiya called her.

"Xi Ya is back," Liu Caiyan turned her head with a smile. Ever since Jin Jianying was hospitalized for recuperation and Jin Yongjun was put in prison, she, Liu Caiyan, only had to worry about Jin Shengjun in this Tianxia Manor.

Kim Sung-jun was not at the manor most of the time, so it was not a problem to say that she was in charge of the manor, as it allowed her to live the life of a real chaebol wife for a few days.

"Mom, come with me," Jin Xiya pulled Liu Caiyan away from the living room, avoiding the people working in the manor.

Liu Caiyan was dragged back to her room by Jin Xiya. She was a little confused, "What happened?"

"Mom..." Jin Xiya hesitated for a moment, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Did you do what happened to my eldest brother?"

"."

The room suddenly became quiet, and the wall clock began to tick.

After a long while, Liu Caiyan responded softly, "I was the one who revealed the news of his cheating."

"Why?" Jin Xiya took two steps back and fell on the bed. "Brother..."

She took a deep breath, and instead of explaining for Jin Yongjun, she changed her words, “We are a family.”

"A family?" When Liu Caiyan's daughter discovered what she had done, she remained calm and said, "They never considered us a family."

"You and I," Liu Caiyan sat on the bed next to Jin Xiya. Their eyebrows and eyes were quite similar. "We are a family."

"Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun have never been a family to us."

"We." Jin Xiya's eyes were full of panic, and she couldn't even look Liu Caiyan in the eye.

Liu Caiyan still had a smile on her face, and she was much more open in front of her daughter.

"Xi Ya..." Liu Caiyan grabbed Jin Xi Ya's hand and interrupted her, "Don't talk for now."

"I know," Liu Caiyan said calmly, "You grew up with Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun when you were a child. It's normal to have feelings for them."

"But in a chaebol family, even brothers are always fighting overtly and covertly. For so many years since you were old enough to understand, you have been deliberately avoiding suspicion. Every time you see your father, you say that you don't like working, but what have you got in return?"

Liu Caiyan looked at the silent Jin Xiya and slowly shook her head, "Don't they still want to drive you abroad?"

"Don't tell me this is a family tradition," Liu Caiyan put her hands together and covered Jin Xiya's hand in the middle, "You are a precocious child, you must know what they are thinking." "I won't hide it from you now," Liu Caiyan said faintly, "Ever since I married here and became their stepmother, what they hope most is that I don't get pregnant."

"How old were they then? Ten years old?" Liu Caiyan laughed, "Children of that age from a chaebol family were already sensible at an early age."

"After I got pregnant, what they hoped most was not to give birth to a son," Liu Caiyan smiled calmly, "I understand. After all, they say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. It's normal for the two of them not to lose favor or have someone riding on their heads."

"All along." Liu Caiyan talked about the grievances of the past and began to wipe away tears as she spoke.

Jin Xiya was angry and wanted to cry. She wanted to close her eyes but she couldn't ignore Liu Caiyan. She could only hold back her tears and comfort Liu Caiyan.

"Okay," Liu Caiyan smiled at her daughter, "The secretary told me that your father has decided to make you the heir, so I won't do anything else."

"I..." Liu Caiyan noticed the hesitation on Jin Xiya's face and frowned slightly. "Did they find out?"

There was obviously no light, but Liu Caiyan's face seemed to flicker.

"Don't worry Xiya."

The next day, one of the tentacles that was entangled with Tianxia Group penetrated deeper again.

In Tianxia Group, Xu Wenzhi, a director, walked leisurely into the business planning department and knocked on the door of Jin Xiya's office.

This is a separate office from the large office of the Business Planning Department.

Jin Xiya was thinking about what happened yesterday, holding a pen anxiously. When she heard the knock on the door, she subconsciously tightened her hand. She looked up and saw Xu Wenzhi's figure through the gap in the blinds. She took a deep breath and adjusted her posture, "Please come in."

"Director Xu."

"Ms. Xiya," Xu Wenzhi walked in leisurely, and his first words made Jin Xiya realize that he was up to no good.

According to Jin Jianying's request, the entire Tianxia Group is not allowed to have any nepotism when working.

In other words, you should use your job title when you are working.

At this time, he came up and acted like an elder.
Seeing Xu Wenzhi sitting on the sofa, Jin Xiya met Xu Wenzhi's playful eyes and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Director?"

"This matter can be a big deal or a small one," Xu Wenzhi smiled and looked around, but did not continue.

Although she was annoyed, Jin Xiya still stood up politely, "What would you like to drink, Director? Tea or coffee?"

"Just plain water."

Jin Xiya paused for a moment, but still poured a glass of water for Xu Wenzhi.

After taking the water, Xu Wenzhi squinted his eyes and smiled: "A few days ago, our directors gathered together and talked about some things."

Jin Xiya was unmoved: "I would like to hear the details."

Seeing a kid who should be a junior in college pretending to be mature in front of him, Xu Wenzhi laughed, "Heh..."

"Ms. Xiya, don't be nervous. We just discussed the president's physical condition. The president is now confined to the temporary detention center, and it is inconvenient to handle many matters outside. No matter who the heir is, the succession procedure will take some time."

"During this period of time, should we find professionals to form a team to temporarily lead the daily operations in the absence of the president?"

Jin Xiya looked at Xu Wenzhi intently, "The president is in good health. After the investigation is completed..."

"Ms. Xiya," Xu Wenzhi did not think that Jin Xiya's title of 'heir' had any deterrent effect, not to mention that Jin Xiya had only been working in the company for a short time, "If you know something clearly, don't explain it again."

"It doesn't matter if the chairman is Young Master Yongjun, Young Master Shengjun, or Miss Xiya, we don't care," Xu Wenzhi said coldly after making it clear, "But the interests of Tianxia Group cannot be lost. Besides, you are all fighting among yourselves now, so why not let us, the old people who are more familiar with the group, manage it for a while, and then take it back after you have fought for the first, second, or third place."

After a long while, Jin Xiya sighed and said, "Director Xu, can I ask you how many directors think the same as you?"

"Let me think about it." Xu Wenzhi looked at her with interest, realizing that she was a little overwhelmed by the pressure. "There are already more than 20 directors who have attended the meeting."

"So." Jin Xiya fell silent.

Tianxia Group has many subsidiary head offices, and generally speaking, each subsidiary has a board of directors consisting of ten to fifteen members.

But this does not mean that more than twenty is a small number.

You know, according to the laws of the Korean Peninsula, at least half of the directors of each company's board of directors must be independent directors.
These directors have no vested interests in the company and are external experts and scholars who are specifically responsible for overseeing corporate governance.

Having said that, these people don't really take charge of things, most of them are just in name only.

What Xu Wenzhi was talking about was obviously not such directors, but those powerful directors who have some power within the group.

“Since the directors are concerned about the group’s operations, it is only natural for them to make such a suggestion.”

Jin Xiya tried to calm herself down, "But I can't decide on this matter. I must ask the president for his opinion."

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Xiya, but please try to be quick," Xu Wenzhi said with a smile on his face. He stood up after he finished speaking and did not even drink any of the glass of water that he asked Jin Xiya to pour when he came in.

"Representative Yongjun is not here," he nodded politely, "There are many things at Tianxia Auto that need to be handled by me as the executive director, so I won't bother Miss Xiya any more."

"Okay." Jin Xiya sent him to the door. After confirming that Xu Wenzhi had entered the elevator, Jin Xiya closed the door suddenly and almost pushed down the vase next to her in anger.

In the hospital, Jin Jianying had no TV or mobile phone, and no books or documents to deal with. Jin Jianying, who could not do anything, could only look at the sky outside the window silently when she was awake.

As he looked out at the sky, the door opened.

Jin Jianying listened to the footsteps, slowly turned his head, and saw Li You standing in front of his bed.

"Chairman Li," Jin Jianying narrowed his eyes at Li You, then looked at the surveillance camera in the corner, "He is really unscrupulous."

"We are all family," Li You laughed, "We can come in just by saying hello."

Li You sat down casually. "It's been a while since I last met President Jin. President Jin, do you still remember what agreement we made last time?"

Jin Jianying's expression remained unchanged. "Remember, it's about the sale of Tian Xia Airlines."

"I told President Jin at the time that you had time to think about it." Li You glanced at the nutrient solution he had hung, "How are you thinking about it now?"
