The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 111 Arrogant and Cautious
Le Meridien Hotel, Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, Pei Yongjun sat in the passenger seat of the car, looking at the Le Méridien Hotel across the street a few dozen meters away.

The building with more than ten floors was quite tall in this area, but what he was looking at was not the hotel sign on the roof, but the neon sign hanging on the first floor.

It's Burning Sun.

The exaggerated cursive characters shone brightly and luxuriously in the mist of a winter morning, proclaiming this Jiangnan District as one of the most prosperous places.

The five-story space, with three floors above ground and two floors underground, occupies the most essential part of the facade of the Le Méridien Hotel Building.

Although it has only been open for a year and a half, this nightclub has skyrocketed in the popularity list of nightclubs in Gangnam District thanks to Lee Seung-ri's super fame and has become one of the most popular nightclubs.

Thanks to Lee Seung-ri's management and connections, the frequent visits of celebrities have become the nightclub's brightest signboard, attracting countless men and women.

Every night, this place is bustling with people and the music is extremely loud. Even now, in the early morning of the next day, there are still many people scattered here and there, some wearing masks, some with disheveled hair, and some with their hats pulled down, mysteriously leaving the door, getting on the car with unsteady steps and driving away.

"Opening it together with the hotel, what a great idea." Liu Chengzhu smacked his lips as he got behind the wheel. "One dollar, two profits. This is a good business."

Nightclubs in Seoul are not allowed to operate all night and must close before 4 a.m.

However, Burning Sun, which happens to be located downstairs from a hotel, cleverly avoids this problem.

As long as important guests are given a room card for the upper floor when entering, and there is an elevator directly connected to the hotel, it doesn’t matter whether it is closed or not.

These guests who partied all night could also confidently say that they were just staying upstairs.

"It's a good business, but the hotel has to agree." Pei Yongjun said.

This is equivalent to asking the hotel to give way to the nightclub business. I am afraid that there is the same owner behind both of them.

"And..." And this kind of borderline ball usually has someone backing it up.

Thinking back to the strange police record of this empty nightclub, Bae Yong-jun realized that there must be police officers backing Lee Seung-ri, otherwise how could there be no one causing trouble in such a popular nightclub?
Through information, observation, and thinking, he gradually figured out Burning Sun, the evil empire built by Lee Seung-ri.

This is his base camp and fortress for committing crimes, a safe place that he has absolute control over.

Being able to commit atrocities and vent his animal desires at will, he attracted some celebrities in the circle as his loyal subordinates. He provided them with a paradise for crime and also controlled them.

People like Jung Joon-young are beasts dominated by desire and animality, using their fame and popularity to help nightclubs attract popularity and business.

And this popularity and business are transformed into a steady stream of money and waves of potential victims.

Finally, using the nightclub as a cover, he successfully obtained the protection of police figures, thus ensuring that if the victim wanted to call the police, she would be completely desperate.

Pei Yongjun pondered silently.

"Team leader, wait, someone is coming." Liu Chengzhu's words interrupted his thoughts.

He raised his head and followed his gaze, and saw two young men coming out of the nightclub and walking along the road towards him.

The two men were wearing white shirts with black windbreakers on the outside, looking like waiters in a nightclub.

As they got closer, they crossed the road and headed straight towards Pei Yongjun's car.

"Oh, they're coming for us." Liu Chengzhu became nervous. He looked around and stared at the two people who had already walked to the other side of the road. "What should we do?"

"Wait." Pei Yongjun looked calm. He held Liu Chengzhu's arm and pointed at his waist. "Mobile phone, try them."

He nodded, took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Cha Eun-kwang.

Cha Eun-gwang, who was waiting outside a street, answered the call immediately.

"What?" "Pretend I'm looking for you." Liu Chengzhu said, then changed his tone to an irritable one, "Hey, when can you come out?"

Tuk Tuk.

Two men who looked like waiters walked to the side of the car and knocked on the window with their fingers.

Ryu Sung-soo looked at Bae Young-jun.

Pei Yongjun nodded.

Ryu Sung-soo pressed the button and the window rolled down.

"First..." Before the two people outside the car could say anything, they heard a shouting.

"What's the matter? How long have I been waiting for you? Huh?!" Liu Chengzhu scolded the phone and glanced at the two people outside the car impatiently, "What are you doing?"

"Hello, is there anything you need that brings you here?" one of them asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Ah! I'm waiting for someone, can't you hear me?!" Liu Chengzhu slapped the steering wheel, and the car horn honked so loudly that it hurt people's ears.

"Ah! You!" The man rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, and slammed them hard on the edge of the car window with a stern look on his face. "How dare you talk like that?"

"You..." Liu Chengzhu seemed frightened. He turned his head and exchanged glances with Pei Yongjun quickly.

"Ah, you two, calm down." Pei Yongjun took over the conversation. "What's going on? We're waiting for someone."

The two people outside the car window also changed their words, with a smile on their faces, "Could you please change seats?"

"Change place?" Pei Yongjun asked, "Why?"

"This is the parking space reserved for our store, so..." He smiled, but his tone was unquestionable, "Make way, and drive back."

"I'm waiting for someone. I'll leave when I see him." Pei Yongjun did not give in.

"Ah, you're looking for trouble, huh?" the burly man shouted again, "Don't you want to have a good time this morning?"

There was a threat in his eyes.

"Then let's go." Bae Yongjun nodded and said to Liu Chengzhu, "Let's go and not wait for him."

Liu Chengzhu started the car and drove away with the two of them.

"Just leaving like that?" he asked.

"Look, everyone is chasing people away." Pei Yongjun looked at the rearview mirror.

Only then did Liu Chengzhu realize that it was not just their car. There were also people surrounding the three or five surrounding cars, and the cars drove away one after another.

"Clear the area. The VIP users who stayed overnight will probably be leaving soon, so we're just clearing all the cars around here."

Arrogant yet cautious, this is evident from Lee Seung-ri's style of running a nightclub.

"Where are we going?" Ryu Sung-su asked. "Come back later?"

"No need, let's go back to the agency. It looks like there won't be any clues from outside." Pei Yongjun looked at his watch. "The president came to see me today and said he had something to do. I'll go back and take a look first."

The car accelerated and drove towards Hanjiang Sports.
