The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 139 Don't Be Naive
In Woolim Entertainment's practice room, a group of trainees huddled quietly in a corner, watching Lovelyz's manager Kim Jong-jin get furious.

"We had the best intentions to let you be my backup dancer, but you turned around and ran away right before going on stage?"

"Do you think you're amazing? Do you think you're awesome? Huh?!"

Kim Jong-jin pointed his finger at Concubine Kwon in front of him, furious.

Kakao Entertainment is a big money sponsor in the circle, and important occasions such as the year-end charity dinner are important occasions for them and even for their agency Woolim Entertainment.

However, at such an important occasion, Kwon Eunbi actually fled before going on stage. If it weren't for Lee Ji-eun's help, it would have caused a huge stage accident. I don't know what would happen to the company, but he should not even think about working there anymore.

In Kakao Entertainment's territory, he suppressed his anger, but when he returned to the company, he completely exploded.

But Concubine Quan En in front of him lowered her head and remained silent.

"I'm sorry..." she stammered.

"Is saying sorry any use?" Kim Jong-jin became more and more irritated.

"Right..."

Kim Jong-jin interrupted her angrily, "Queen Kwon, who do you think you are? What do you think you are!"

"He gave up college and dropped out to debut, then after a year of debut, they couldn't make it and disbanded!"

"If the company hadn't been so kind as to hire you, you wouldn't even be able to be a trainee!"

Every word Kim Jong-jin said was like a heavy hammer. Kwon Eun-bi's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip tightly.

"I..." Tears welled up in Kwon Eunbi's eyes, but she didn't know what to say.

Yes, what Kim Jong-jin said is correct.

A senior law student at Kyungnam University, she is about to graduate. She interns at a newspaper during the day and prepares for the judicial examination and attends tutoring classes at night. After the internship, she rejects Bae Young-joon's invitation and is determined to continue to devote herself to the judicial field, and may even become a prosecutor. Kwon Eun-bi has unlimited possibilities and a bright future.

is fake.

It was a lie she made up.

The real Kwon Eun-bi was a person who was deceived into making her debut because of her dream of singing and dropped out of college for this.

The agency suddenly disbanded the group a year later, and the group still owed the agency a huge debt for debut expenses.

It was because of this person who had a falling out with his parents, was kicked out of home, and had to live in a small and dark rental house.

They are people who are getting older and older, whose chances of debuting are getting slimmer and slimmer, and who are almost no longer wanted to be trainees, but don’t know what else they can do.

Is a complete loser.

The agency required her to pay training fees, and her original agency was still asking her for money. The money she earned from odd jobs was not enough, and she really didn't know what to do.

Until that day, when she saw that a newspaper was offering high salaries for interns, she became obsessed and deleted the word "dropped out" from her resume.

That's how she came to Hanjiang Sports.

As a normal senior intern who seemed to have never experienced any trouble, he came to Hanjiang Sports and met Bae Yongjun.

That was really, really...

It is a very lucky thing, like sunshine in the endless darkness.

He talked to her, cared about her, protected her, and taught her all kinds of things. Gradually, a love for him grew in her heart that she was a little scared of.

Even when Pei Yongjun occasionally glanced at her body with a fiery gaze, Quan Enfei felt a little happy in her shyness.

She felt blissfully unreal.

It is indeed not true.

Her resume was forged, and the tutoring class was just an excuse to come to Woolim to practice. She even didn't dare let Bae Yongjun know where she lived, for fear that Bae Yongjun would wonder why she lived alone in such a place.

The more she likes Pei Yongjun, the more she doesn't want Pei Yongjun to know her present, and the more she is afraid that Pei Yongjun will know her past full of failures.

After all, even she herself hates herself now, who would like her, let alone someone like Pei Yongjun.

However, Bae Yong-jun seemed to have never noticed that Concubine Kwon was just greedy for such a miserable happiness.

Until last night, after dancing with Bae Young-joon and spending an unforgettable night at Burning Sun, Bae Young-joon suddenly told her that he wanted to keep her after she graduated.

But since she had already dropped out of school, she would never be able to graduate and therefore could not stay.

On the day of graduation, all the lies will be exposed.

Concubine Kwon fled in a hurry and returned to her dark life.

But what she didn't expect was that she thought she would never see Bae Young-jun again, and she was arranged by the company to dance with the company's girl group Lovelyz, but before going on stage, she saw the shining Bae Young-jun on the stage.

Wearing a neat suit, he stood next to the household name IU, smiling calmly under the spotlight.

Bae Young-joon is there, if she goes on stage...

Pei Yongjun will know the truth of everything.

So she ran away, ran away desperately. In this way, at least in Pei Yongjun's heart, she would still be the Quan Enfei who was working hard to prepare for the judicial examination.

Even though I'm clumsy and can't speak, but, but...

Maybe the team leader also likes me a little bit in his heart?

Just a little bit would be nice.

Really, just a little bit would be nice.

Kwon Eunbi didn't say anything, but Kim Jong-jin continued talking.

He took a deep breath and said, "Quan Enfei, you have no other choice but to debut. Do you understand?"

"……think."

"If you want to debut, you have to be a trainee, do you understand? You are 24 years old! You have failed to debut before. Only here in Seoul will pity you and let you continue here." Kim Jong-jin continued to ask.

"do you understand?"

“…I understand.” Kwon Eun-bi looked at Kim Jong-jin’s angry and distorted face and nodded.

"Okay, then I have to tell you, you're fired." Jin Zhongzhen showed a cruel smile, "Get out, leave now!"

"Director-nim, I, please, please..." Kwon Eun-bi opened her eyes wide and begged.

"Get lost!" Jin Zhongzhen's face turned cold and he shouted, "From now on, aren't you going to stay on stage?"

"Then never go!"

He pulled out two pieces of paper from his pocket. They were Quan Enfei's trainee contract. He tore them in half and threw them at her. "Get out!"

"Don't let security throw you out!"

After he said that, he left the practice room and slammed the door.

Kwon Eun-bi stood in the empty practice room, her face pale and looking shaky.

The trainees in the corner were so frightened that no one dared to speak. After a while, a little girl finally called her, "Eunbi-unnie?"

"Are you okay?"

"I, I..." Quan Enfei turned around and gave a forced smile, "Caiyuan, I..."

"I'm fine. I'm leaving now."

She smiled weakly, as if she had lost all her life, slowly turned around and left the practice room.

...With heavy steps, Concubine Kwon returned to her residence.

She opened the door, walked through the narrow living room, came to the door of her room, took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, turned it slightly, and the door opened.

Didn't you lock the door this morning?

Concubine Quan Eun was in a daze and had no time to think. She was so upset that she just wanted to hide in her own nest and never come out again.

She pushed the door open and was suddenly stunned.

In his small room, there stood a strange man, rummaging through his shabby wardrobe.

"You, you are..."

"Are you Queen Kwon?" The man looked at the photos on his phone and compared them.

Concubine Quan Eun-fei didn't say anything, but her confused eyes flashed, as if she understood something.

"Do you know what we are here for?" the man looked at Quan Enfei.

"I..." Quan Enfei slowly took two steps back, then turned around suddenly and ran out. As soon as she opened the door, her footsteps stopped immediately.

Outside the gate, there were two strange men standing, one on the left and one on the right, blocking the door tightly.

She turned around again and saw the man who had walked out of her room was talking on the phone.

"Yes, boss, the person has been found."

"Okay, okay, okay, no one will find out, don't worry."

He hung up the phone, looked at Quan Enfei, and smiled, "Come with us?"

Concubine Kwon had nowhere to escape.

Burning Sun entrance, Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
After a dark night, the nightclub sign lit up again, and waiters in suits and with slicked-back hair and powdered faces were waiting at the door to solicit customers again, but few customers came.

The reason was that at the entrance of the nightclub, a row of security guards were blocking a group of protesters, shouting, "Come out! Come out!"

"Lee Seungri, come out!"

"Murderer! Murderer!"

People shouted Li Shengli's name, their eyes full of anger.

When this horrific criminal den was exposed to the public today, everyone was excited because the nightclub was closed down and Lee Seung-ri was taken away by the police, thinking that this time this gang of criminals could finally be brought to justice.

Unexpectedly, at nightfall, news came that Burning Sun nightclub would continue to operate, and even put up a sign saying "The King Returns".

Was Lee Seung-ri released? Just lifted high and then gently let go?

Everyone was in disbelief.

Some people on the Internet made sarcastic remarks.

I'm telling you, he's able to run such a big nightclub and do such awful things. He has a very strong background. What use can a reporter have?

"That's right, how naive! You think you'll be arrested just because you committed a crime? How can such a good thing happen? This is the Republic of Korea, wake up! They're rich and powerful!"

I wanted to refute, but I was speechless after seeing the announcement released by Burning Sun.

But there were always some people who didn't believe in evil and came to the door of the nightclub indignantly. Sure enough, the seal of suspension and rectification had disappeared and the neon lights were flashing again.

But it seemed to be of no avail. There were quite a few security guards, but the people who rushed to the scene seemed to be insufficient in number.

"Come out! Come out!" the crowd shouted, trying hard to break through the security cordon.

In the last row, Kim Min-woong, wearing a large down jacket and a mask that covered himself tightly, was shouting along with the crowd while looking around guiltily.

"Ah!" A person suddenly squeezed out from the crowd in front and patted her shoulder, which scared her.

"Ouni?" She turned around and saw that it was Liu Zhimin. She breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death."

"Why did you disappear just now? I was so worried!" She immediately became nervous again. "Let's go quickly. Have you seen enough?"

"Why leave? Let's play a little longer." Liu Zhimin, who had just squeezed to the front of the crowd and then came back, looked forward, cupped his hands to his mouth, and shouted with the crowd, "Lee Seungri! Come out! Come out!"

"Call me! Min-yeon!" She turned around with an excited smile on her face. "What are you afraid of? No one knows us!"

“I, but,” Although she said that, Jin Minyue was not as brave as her and always felt scared. “Ouni, are you really okay?”

"Didn't you say you were going to have a midnight snack?"

After practicing at the company, she was about to go home, but was tempted by Liu Zhimin who said he would treat her to a delicious midnight snack. She took a taxi, but she didn't expect to end up here as soon as she got off the car.

"Minyan," Liu Zhimin showed a somewhat aggrieved expression, "please come with me. Ningning originally said she wanted to go to the park with me tonight, I..."

Ningning is a new Chinese trainee who usually likes to stick with Liu Zhimin.

"Ah?" Jin Minyue immediately shouted with full energy.

Liu Zhimin narrowed his eyes, smiled and rubbed her hair, "My Min-won is the best~"

"I love you so much, Ouni~"

Jin Min-yeon shouted even louder.

The crowd was extremely excited and the security guards were starting to feel overwhelmed. At this moment, sirens suddenly sounded, and a police car drove over and stopped at the door. Three policemen jumped out of it.

"Dad!" Jin Min-woon opened his eyes wide when he saw it.

The middle-aged policeman leading the three was Kim Yong-min. He strode quickly to the security guard's side.

"Ah! Who told you to resume business?! Has the rectification been completed?" Jin Rongmin glanced at the door, on which traces of the suspension and rectification seal that was pasted last night were still faintly visible, and he was even more angry.

"Do you think closing down for rectification is a joke?" He said in a booming voice, using the military's skill in disciplining his subordinates. "Close down immediately! Close down!"

Faced with the police, the security guards became panicked for a moment, but the protesting crowd became more and more motivated.

Seeing this, Jin Rongmin immediately waved his hand, and the two policemen behind him hurriedly took out the suspension and rectification seal, preparing to order the business to be closed again.

Seeing that the Burning Sun nightclub was about to be closed down again after only a few hours of rampant activity, the crowd cheered and broke through the security blockade, blocking the door.

"Wow! Dad is so handsome!" Jin Min-woon was staring at the back.

Everyone was angry and upset about the bad things that Li Shengli did, and she was very excited when she saw that it was her father who took action.

At this moment, another burst of sirens sounded on the street. Four or five police cars came roaring with sirens blaring, and more than twenty policemen jumped out from them.

The crowd cheered even louder.

Kim Min-woong was also very excited, "Are they going to arrest Lee Seung-ri, right, unnie?"

Liu Zhimin looked at the armbands of the new policemen and frowned suddenly.

People watched as the newly arrived police officers surrounded Kim Yong-min and the other two, roughly snatched the closure seals from their hands, and forcefully drove them aside. Then they pushed the crowd outward, re-formed a protective line, and firmly blocked the protesting crowd outside the nightclub.

People were stunned and the cheers died down.

"Ouni, this..." Kim Min-hye was a little at a loss. He glanced at Liu Zhimin who was frowning beside him, then turned his head to look at the door of the nightclub, only to find a figure walking out.

With a handsome face, a smile that he thought was warm and friendly, he opened his arms and looked at everyone.

It was Li Shengli.

"Everyone, do you want to come in and play? It's free tonight."
