Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 695 No More Rivals
The atmosphere in Tianxia Manor was extremely depressing.

It's not just dull, but there's always a vague sense of coldness.

Jin Xiya looked at the letter over and over again in the study, and then looked at the waterproof sealed bag beside her, which contained two ampoules with digoxin printed on them. Only one was intact, and the medicine in the other one had obviously been used up.

In this letter, Kim Sung-jun admitted that he had murdered Kim Gun-young and Liu Caiyan, and also explained the method he used. An address was written on it, and Kim Hee-ya found the waterproof sealed bag according to the address.

With the support of evidence, it was determined that it was her half-brother who harmed her parents. Jin Xiya was heartbroken and stayed indoors for a long time. She even ignored the affairs of the group and did not even choose to attend Jin Shengjun's funeral.

"Director Park," Jin Xiya put the letter away carefully, supported her chin with one hand, and refilled her glass with the other hand, "Why do you think he would do such a thing?"

She drank glass after glass of wine.

When all the bottles were empty, Jin Xiya shook the bottles upwards and said, "Director Park."

Director Park sighed, "Chairman...you should rest."

He had originally wanted to persuade Jin Xiya to cheer her up.

The current situation is really not optimistic for her. After Jin Yongjun has been silent for so long
Now that Kim Sung-joon is dead and Kim Hee-ah is devastated by the sudden news, Kim Young-joon's prestige and control within the group are rising.

Now that I think about it, this letter and evidence were probably given to Kim Hee-ya on purpose by Kim Young-jun. As a family member, Kim Young-jun knows his sister too well who values ​​family relationships.

But when Director Park looked at Kim Hee-ya who was drunk in front of him, he didn't know how to persuade her.

"Director Park? Director Park?"

The continuous shouting brought Director Park back to his senses, "Chairman."

"It's not time to rest yet," Jin Xiya said vaguely, "Go get me two bottles of wine..."

Director Park sighed, reached out to take her wine glass, and returned with a glass of water, "This is the only one."

Jin Xiya nodded heavily, drank the wine-tasting water in one gulp, and smacked her lips to savor the taste.

The cold water may have sobered Jin Xiya up a little. She lay back in the chair, looking at the ceiling for a long time in deep thought.

Director Park went out while she was drinking water, and came back in not long after. He naturally brought in a bowl of hangover soup that the servant had prepared in advance. He stepped into the study and put the hangover soup over to her. "President, please drink the hangover soup."

"Director Park, do you know what I am thinking?"

Director Park was stunned for a few seconds and shook his head, "I don't know."

"I'm wondering if some things are worth it?" Jin Xiya's eyes were dull, "My parents... Shengjun"

Jin Xiya shook her head. "I feel weird. How could Shengjun do all this by himself? If these things are true, it's fine. If they are false, who killed people with Shengjun, and how did Shengjun die? If I insist on finding out the truth, will I die?"

The alcohol actually made her confused mind much clearer.

Director Park hesitated for a moment.

Jin Xiya closed her eyes and murmured, "Should I continue investigating?"

Director Park knew that Jin Xiya was not asking him, she was just talking to herself.

Jin Xiya didn't say anything more, and after a while, the sound of light and steady breathing was heard.

Although she didn't drink the hangover soup, Director Park finally didn't disturb Kim Hee-ya as she was having a rare good sleep during this period of time.

On the other side, Li You, Ding Qing and many other old members of the Kinmen Group were also drinking.

As they drank and discussed, the atmosphere at the table became more and more heated, and the slight strangeness and courtesy that appeared after not seeing each other for a long time were soon thrown out of the window.

Li You and Ding Qing were sitting together, and Ding Qing was pouring wine with drunken eyes.

Li You didn't put on airs. He just smiled as he watched Ding Qing refill his wine glass. Then he raised his glass and clinked it with Ding Qing's.

"President..." Ding Qing had a dark and yellow face when he was young. After a long period of luxury, his face has become much whiter. His face turns red when he drinks.

Since it was a low table, everyone was sitting on their knees, so he didn't need to leave his seat. He reached out and put his arm around Li You's shoulders affectionately: "Over the years... we have also established ourselves..."

Li You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stood firm..
Anyone who says that Kinmen has gained a firm foothold now will feel like a fool.

However, Ding Qing sighed: "But now I have made enough money and have a position, but Kinmen Trade is getting bigger and bigger, and my energy and vision can't keep up. I know that the group's talent research institute is full of talents. You need to find me two more helpers."

Li You narrowed his eyes, took a sip of wine quietly, and remained silent.

He didn't even need to look to know that the old people at the table were listening to their conversation with their ears perked up.

Based on his understanding of Ding Qing, he probably came up with this idea after dealing with the guy who instigated him to "rebel".

"Why..." Li You shook his head, "I can accommodate you, and I can accommodate everyone."

What's more, Li You sighed in his heart, maybe even when they die of old age, Li You will still be the same.

There is no possibility for the Kinmen Group to fight for power.

"I know, I know..." Ding Qing grinned, reeking of alcohol, "But there are too many people in the group, I don't think this can be done."

Ding Qing said frankly: "To be honest, this idea has been rooted in my heart for several years."

"I know you trust us, but there are always some people who are only here for the money. They are not like us."

"It's time for you to take back some of your power. Besides, what I said is the truth," Ding Qing sighed. "My brothers are all from humble backgrounds and are old. For example, I
"I'm already an old guy in my forties, almost fifty, and I've been working hard to learn. But no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with the young people in terms of intelligence. I'm far behind in making plans and running a business. I do have the courage, but I'm afraid I'm using it in the wrong direction."

Li You turned around and looked at everyone at the table. At some point, everyone fell silent. "Do you all think so?"

Seeing them nod, Li You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and you guys are already offering a glass of wine to release your military power."

"If not you, who else should I use?" Li You spread his hands. "I'll use some magic on the children and make them grow up as fast as watermelons?"

His words caused laughter at the table. Li You shook his head helplessly, "Let's end this topic here. I know what I'm doing. If you really can't do it, you don't have to say anything. I'll change your seats."

Li You did not agree to their joint proposal. After all, he knew very well in his heart that these old members with a black background were people who were absolutely loyal to him.

However, they were right in some places. Some people really couldn't keep up with the times, and letting them continue to stay in management positions would be harmful to them. So Li You adjusted the positions of a few people the next day and asked talent researchers to provide some personnel support to subsidiaries in need.

The adjustment of the personnel structure of the Kinmen Group did not cause much stir on the Korean Peninsula, and almost no one cared.

Only Zhao Taixie, who had been paying close attention to the Kinmen Group and Li You, immediately saw something. "Is this a power grab?" Zhao Taixie drew a circle on the paper with his fingers, "Give up military power with a cup of wine."

As he spoke, Zhao Taixie laughed at himself again and shook his head, "Forget it, I can't get involved."

Li You can be said to be running the Kinmen Group quietly and is also making corresponding personnel adjustments.

However, the underground forces under his command, led by Cui Douri, are still expanding unscrupulously.

However, the Korean Peninsula's political arena soon ushered in a new round of changes.

Led by Park Geum-sun, the Grand National Party began to bring in a large number of outsiders and also explored ways to expand outward.

Under such circumstances, it was natural for differences to arise among them, but she began a major internal reshuffle, changing the name and even the symbolic color.

As the Grand National Party gradually became a new party founded by Park Geum-sun, the party leader Park Geum-sun also had the image of the so-called "opposition party within the ruling party."

However, just when her popularity surpassed Cho Tae-seop and her influence was overwhelming, making her the most powerful force in Congress, she was violently attacked during a speech and her right cheek was cut by a stationery knife.

No one knew how this thug with a stationery knife managed to break through the security and hit her in the face, but it happened anyway.

After a photo of her face covered in blood was circulated, she did receive more warm praise from the people and became the brightest political star on the peninsula.

The last political star was Cho Tae-seop, who had not been silent for long before he was attacked by Lee Woo.

In this situation, the first person who couldn't sit still was none other than Mayor Li Mingxue, who had come to see Li You some time ago.

He had been preparing for the election more than two years in advance, and even secretly formed a think tank to help him. However, after this female congresswoman's actions, his popularity went to that side. "Chairman Park, the party leader, is undoubtedly eliminating dissidents by doing this!"

No wonder he said that.
Because in theory, both Lee Myung-hak and Park Geum-sun are strong candidates of the Grand National Party.

However, when Park Geum-sun was reshuffling the Grand National Party, a large number of pro-Lee Myung-hak people were replaced.

"The preparations you've made these days will be noticed by those who are interested," Li Youfeng said calmly, "If you think about it carefully, it's true that she started to reform the Grand National Party when you started to prepare for the 'non-electoral think tank'."

"Her ultimate goal is to run for election, so the first person she wants to kick out is naturally her biggest competitor, which is you."

"..." Li Mingxue thought for a moment and took the blame, saying, "Now that I think about it, I was a little too hasty."

"It's okay," Li You yawned, "If she wants to kick you out, just leave with the people who support you. I have prepared another way for you."

"Another way?" Li Mingxue looked over in surprise.

"The Grand Unified Democratic New Party," Li You laughed.

"Although they have been quiet recently, they are still the largest opposition party. Bringing your supporters to join them will also allow you to maintain sufficient campaign strength when facing Park Jinshan."

"But Zhao Taixie." Li Mingxue's words suddenly got stuck in his throat. He paused for a moment and bowed silently to Li You, "I understand, President."

"This is how the Korean Peninsula works," Lee You said, opening his hands and clenching them in the air. "The winner takes all."

Li You patted Li Mingxue on the shoulder and said, "Just go back and wait for my news. Just do what you should do peacefully."

"Yes."

Two days later, the new TV interview exploded across the Korean Peninsula as soon as it was aired.

"We have a special guest on 'Current Affairs Live 24', this is the secretary of Congressman Cho Tae-seop."

The other person sitting in front of the camera is Han Ji-hyun, the chief of the secretariat who has been following Cho Tae-seop for many years.

The host nodded slightly to Han Ji Hyun and said, "I heard that you have important news to announce today."

"Yes, I am the secretary of Councillor Cho Tae-seop... Han Ji-hyun. I chose to stand here in order to let the world see the true face of Councillor Cho Tae-seop."

“The congressman is always worried about the future of our country and is a very sincere person, but I have been with the congressman for more than ten years and I know some things.”

Han Ji-hyun held the microphone, his hands shaking a little.

"I don't think that the original intention of Councillor Cho Tae-seop was wrong, but in the process, Councillor Cho Tae-seop had big problems."

Han Ji-hyun stared at the camera, "Whether his goal was right or not, his means were improper. In order to maintain his power, he used a large amount of political funds and even sacrificed human lives, including secretly mobilizing prosecutors to investigate personal intelligence. I witnessed all of this with my own eyes."

During the narration, Han Ji-hyun took out a mobile phone and played several recordings as evidence, "Member Cho Tae-seop also trained my own brother to become a murderer."

Han Zhixian choked up a little, "This world will not change because of your wishes. Please stop now and don't continue to turn into a monster. Please."

After participating in the show, Han Zhixian got into the car that had been waiting for her at the entrance of the TV station and hurried to Gangnam. The driver who picked her up said, "It's not easy to catch your brother, but he really doesn't remember you. According to the president's instructions, he will go for treatment, and maybe he can remember some things from the past."

"But you can't keep calling your brother 'K'. What's his real name?"

Han Zhixian opened his mouth and called out the name he hadn't called in more than ten years, "Han Kanghao."

The study in Zhao Taixie's private residence was pitch black, with only the TV on.

"The revelations of Mayor Han Ji-hyun, a close confidant of Councillor Cho Tae-seop, and the continuous presentation of testimonies and evidence."

"Amid the suspicion of bribery amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars and power abuse, what will be the next step for Cho Tae-seop of the Grand Unified Democratic Party?"

"Director Han's revelations sounded the alarm about the deep-rooted collusion between officials and businessmen on the Korean Peninsula."

Zhao Taixie watched TV silently in the darkness. He seemed to have aged ten years in just a few dozen minutes.

He wanted to ask Jin Zhenyu to bring Han Zhixian back, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he remembered that Jin Zhenyu had committed suicide to protect him.

"We've gone too far." Zhao Taixie turned his eyes away from the TV, stood up and said, "Director Han"

He turned to look at the dark study room, "Director Jin"

"Kang Hao."

Zhao Taixie's face showed no sadness or joy, but his eyes moved from one place to another in the study. He sighed softly, "How ironic..."

"Congressman Cho Tae-seop's whereabouts are still unknown, and the Cho Tae-seop scandal not only involves politicians and businessmen, but also extends to the prosecution."

"The Grand Unified Democratic Party is on the verge of collapse. How can it save itself from the Cho Tae-seop scandal?"
