The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 144 The Secret in the Notebook (Two in One)

Pei Yongjun sat on the flexible leather sofa and looked at his subordinates who had been loyal to Li Shengli just now, and suddenly started punching and kicking him.

Fists and kicks struck the flesh, causing screams, but the tip of his nose was filled with the faint fragrance of Concubine Kwon.

The wet tissue was slightly cold, but Quan Enfei's delicate fingers were quite warm. She gently wiped her sweaty fingertips with the wet tissue. Just when she felt a little cold, she immediately felt her warm and delicate palm.

The difference between hot and cold has a unique flavor.

Especially when coupled with Lee Seung-ri screaming in front of him, Pei Yongjun felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart.

Well……

This feeling seems pretty good?
Pei Yongjun criticized his own vulgar taste and pulled his right hand out of hers.

"Hmm?" Quan Enfei was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Pei Yongjun. Her watery eyes were a little flustered, as if she didn't know what Pei Yongjun meant. "Team leader, nim..."

Pei Yongjun placed his left hand in her warm palm again.

Just normal interaction between colleagues.

This will not be the case next time.

He strictly adheres to his bottom line.

A smile that seemed half shy and half happy appeared on Concubine Quan's face, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

"You have to be obedient from now on, okay?" Pei Yongjun felt the slight numbness in his palm and said with a hint of criticism in his voice, "Just say what I told you to say. Why didn't you say it?"

"I'm already waiting at the door of the nightclub. What's the big deal?"

"You answered everything he asked, and that's why you got beaten."

"...I, I didn't know you were here." Quan Enfei pursed her lips, "I'm fine, I just hope you're okay."

"Ah! Use some strength!" He glared at the bald man who slowed down his movements and secretly listened to the conversation, and shouted, "Huh?!"

"Ah! Good!" Several people shrank back in fear and immediately started beating him harder. With their fists and kicks, Li Shengli's voice gradually became softer.

Pei Yongjun glanced at him, then turned back to look at Quan Enfei.
"Do I need to report to you first what I'm going to do?"

His eyes swept over her body. There were still some dust and footprints on her pants. Although she had just smoothed her hair, it was still a little messy.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Team Leader." She suddenly became obedient. "I will be obedient."

Didn’t I leave the newspaper?

Why should I be obedient?
Concubine Quan Enfei didn't know either, but she agreed very easily, feeling a kind of inexplicable joy in her heart.

"Okay, I understand." Pei Yongjun nodded.

Quan Enfei smiled at him, then looked at Li Shengli who was being beaten with some concern, "Team leader, is he okay?"

"No, not directly..."

Li Shengli seemed unable to shout anymore and his movements became slower and slower. She was a little afraid that she would beat him to death.

"Don't worry, these guys know how to strike hard without getting into trouble. They know it best." Pei Yongjun looked at the bald man, "Okay, stop pretending to be working so hard."

"Haha, Editor-in-Chief Pei, we were also afraid of delaying your questioning." The bald man also heard his words and smiled awkwardly. "But, I will definitely be honest and it will definitely hurt, so don't worry."

"Yeah." Bae Yong-jun pulled his right hand out of Kwon Eun-bi's warm palm, stood up, and walked towards Lee Seung-ri.

Several thugs stopped and stepped back.

"How is it? Do you remember now?" Bae Yongjun looked at Lee Seungri lying on the ground. "If you remember, speak up."

"I think..." Li Shengli's voice became much weaker. He struggled to support himself with his elbows on the floor, slowly raised his head and looked at Pei Yongjun, "I remember now."

His right cheek was swollen, the wound on his eye socket was more serious, and blood covered half of his face.

"I..." Li Shengli's head was covered in cold sweat and his face was extremely pale. The words he said seemed to have aroused his wound. He suddenly fell to the ground, coughing desperately.

"I'm in so much pain..." He seemed to have finally raised his head and looked at Pei Yongjun beggingly, "Help, help..."

"Does it hurt more than the people you've tortured here?" Pei Yongjun said in a cold tone, "Or do you want to try it again?"

Li Shengli's eyes suddenly showed fear and he stopped talking.

"Tell me, what's in the notebook?"

"Yes, they are some very important things," Li Shengli was silent for a moment, then continued, "If you look at it directly like this, you can't tell what it is. You need to use a special developing potion to see it."

"Where is the potion?" Pei Yongjun asked, "I think it should be here."

"Since you hid the notebook somewhere else, the potion must be here."

"...Yes, you guessed right." Li Shengli seemed to have lost all hope. "It's right here."

"Where is it?" the bald man next to him asked, his tone rude, "Tell me quickly."

"Editor Pei, please let me go." Li Shengli's tone was filled with desperate pleading. "Don't ask about the notebook anymore, otherwise we will all be in trouble."

"Really, really, I'm not lying to you!"

"Why?" Pei Yongjun looked at him with a playful look in his eyes. "How scary is the thing inside?"

"Really, I didn't lie to you!" Li Shengli's tone became excited. He struggled to get up and crawled to Pei Yongjun on his knees. "Please!"

"I admit my mistake, I admit defeat, how about that?"

He lunged forward, grabbed Pei Yongjun's shoe, and looked into his eyes, his eyes full of begging, "Please!"

"You can ask me to do anything!"

"I plead guilty, I admit it all!"

Pei Yongjun shook his head. He kicked Li Shengli's hand away and said in an unwavering tone, "I want you to tell me, what is that?"

Li Shengli stared at him, but Pei Yongjun remained unmoved.

"...Okay, the developing solution is in my drawer." Li Shengli seemed to have given up. He lowered his head and pointed to his desk beside him. "It's in there."

"Editor-in-Chief Pei, I'll go look for it." The bald man immediately agreed, as if he wanted to make a contribution.

"I'm going too!" Seeing that Pei Yongjun didn't say anything, the other thug immediately followed.

The two men quickly walked to the large desk, opened the drawers and started searching.

"There's the key in the first drawer. Open the drawer below and it's inside." Li Shengli raised his head and looked at the two people rummaging around on the other side of the table.

"Where?" the bald man raised his head and asked, as if he couldn't find it.

Li Shengli stood up with difficulty and walked towards the table, as if he wanted to help find it. The two thugs who had not gone over immediately followed him.

Pei Yongjun watched him limp towards the table. It seemed that he just wanted to avoid being beaten a few times, so he offered to help find something.

One step, two steps.

He walked unsteadily, looking like he had been beaten badly. The two thugs beside him also relaxed and instead urged him to walk faster, wanting to quickly find the developing potion that sounded very important.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Li Shengli agreed, but paused and fell behind the two of them.

Before the two of them could react, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the terrace from behind them.

"Ah!" The two were shocked. Li Shengli screamed in pain and staggered and ran wildly. It turned out that the image of being beaten and unable to walk just now was not completely real.

Although he was seriously injured and ran crookedly and in great pain, he could still run.

Without realizing it, Li Shengli quickly ran to the edge of the terrace, flung open the door, and stepped onto the terrace. "Don't come over here!" He leaned against the railing, looking at the stunned thugs.

Pei Yongjun turned his head and looked at him with interest, "What are you going to do?"

He slowly walked towards the terrace, "Are you still going to escape?"

"Escape?" Li Shengli laughed loudly, his smile mixed with smugness and cruelty. "You've been tricked by me!"

"Right now, it's you who should run away!"

"Me?" Pei Yongjun raised his eyebrows and continued walking forward. The terrace was just around the corner.

"Don't come over!" Li Shengli turned his head and looked, as if waiting for something.

However, in the dance floor behind him, there were only men and women dancing wildly, and only a few people looked up at the person leaning against the railing, wondering what he was doing.

Pei Yongjun took another step forward.

"Don't come over!" Li Shengli's face changed, his eyes were full of anxiety. He looked back, then looked at Pei Yongjun, and shouted in a timid tone.

Pei Yongjun took another step forward and was about to step onto the edge of the terrace.

"Don't come over!" Li Shengli shouted again, looking at Pei Yongjun who was pressing him step by step, feeling anxious.

"Who are you waiting for?" Pei Yongjun asked, took another step forward, and stepped his right foot on the door of the terrace.

"You..." Li Shengli turned around and stepped onto the railing, yelling at Pei Yongjun at the top of his lungs, "Just wait!"

He gritted his teeth, shouted, turned over and jumped down.

"what!"

It was like a dead bird falling from the sky, causing chaos on the dance floor.

The people who were dancing suddenly saw someone jumping down from the second floor.

Then, when the person who fell down looked up, he found that his head and face were covered with blood. Everyone screamed in fear and retreated in panic.

Pei Yongjun walked to the edge of the terrace, and the people in the dance floor retreated like the tide, leaving only Lee Seungri in the center.

Li Shengli struggled to stand up, but felt severe pain in his right leg. He screamed and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a brisk sound of wind behind me.

Li Shengli turned his head and saw Pei Yongjun hanging outside the terrace railing, holding the railing firmly with his right hand. Then he smiled at him, let go, and landed on the ground of the dance floor as agile and light as an eagle.

"Bae Yongjun! Don't come over here!" Li Shengli dragged his seemingly broken right leg, crawling on the ground, and desperately crawled towards the door of the nightclub, like a bug fleeing in panic.

Pei Yongjun took two slow steps and caught up with him.

"Why did you run? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked Li Shengli.

Li Shengli did not answer. He endured the severe pain with a grim face and crawled out, as if he could be saved if he crawled to the door.

"You're trying to trick me with that developing solution or something?" Pei Yongjun followed him slowly, "Right?"

"What's written in the notebook is the code, right? It's just that you don't want to tell me."

He still didn't speak.

"Are you crawling towards the door? Who are you looking for, or who were you waiting for, but didn't show up?" Pei Yongjun took two steps and followed him leisurely.

Li Shengli was panting and crawling desperately.

"Director Park, is this your lifeline?" Pei Yongjun seemed to be speculating, gradually approaching the truth. "But you are already the person the Southern District Prosecutor's Office wants to arrest."

"Normally, he would never dare to interfere, unless..."

"There were reasons why he had to intervene, like the notebook."

"The time, the strange name, and the codewords—did you catch him doing something?"

"Besides, it's not just him, right?"

"Those people you've caught are all in this book, right?"

"As for the locked USB drive, I'm afraid that's the evidence."

"That's why someone will protect you, even if you're about to be arrested and convicted."

"There will still be people who will protect you at all costs, right?"

"For example, Director Park outside the door."

Li Shengli paused in his crawling motion and cursed loudly, "You're finished!"

"Did you guess it? You dare to set your eyes on the things in there? They contain my records of the bigwigs who came here to have fun!"

He cursed as he crawled, as if his own words had given him immense courage. "You keep staring at me, ha, good!"

"Everyone up there wants to get rid of you!"

"Kill you!"

"You're finished!"

He was shouting and laughing, his face covered in blood, cold sweat and tears from the severe pain, looking like a madman. The few waiters who were still staying on the dance floor were stunned and did not dare to recognize that this dying madman was their extravagant and arrogant boss, Li Shengli.

"Congressman, police officer, rich man!"

"There are plenty!"

"do you know?!"

"Compared to you, you're an ant! Bae Yongjun!"

He crawled out from the edge of the dance floor and continued to struggle to crawl out of the nightclub. The blood on his head and face mixed with sweat, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

"So," Pei Yongjun followed him, a look of curiosity on his face, "now is the time for me to run for my life and be afraid?"

"That's right! It's you! Ah!" Li Shengli wanted to turn around and take a look at him, but it seemed to have aroused the wound, and he let out a heartbreaking scream, "Ah!"

He finally saw Pei Yongjun's face clearly. He looked normal, with a playful smile on his face. The look he gave him seemed to be filled with pity.

But I was not afraid.

"Why aren't you afraid? Why aren't you afraid?!" Li Shengli seemed unable to accept it, "Why!"

"Why should I be afraid?" Pei Yongjun returned to the previous question, "Do you think I'm as scared as you are?"

He stopped and stared at Li Shengli. "Only dogs are afraid of their masters, don't you think?"

"...Okay," Li Shengli's mouth twitched, revealing a smile uglier than crying, "You're really tough."

He had already touched the front door. As soon as he opened it, he would see Director Park, who for some reason had received his message but had not yet come, outside!

Then, someone will naturally save him!

As for Pei Yongjun, he is definitely finished!
Li Shengli gave Pei Yongjun a hateful look and suddenly opened the door of the nightclub, "Director Park, hurry..."

His pupils froze for a moment, and his voice got stuck in his throat, so he could only make a terrified hoarse sound.

Outside the gate, Chief Park, dressed in a neat police uniform, was kneeling on the steps with his hands behind his head and his wrists tightly locked with shiny handcuffs.

He turned his head and Pei Yongjun smiled at him.
