The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 145 Just Playing With You
Bae Yong-jun looked at Lee Seung-ri who was lying on the ground, looking at him in disbelief.

"You, he..." His eyes trembled and his whole body was shaking violently.

Li Shengli turned his head again, looked at Director Park who was handcuffed, and then looked at Director Park's side.

There were several police officers in black uniforms. It seemed that they were the ones who caught Chief Park.

He finally understood why Director Park had not come in after he had sent him the agreed code.

"Please." Pei Yongjun made an inviting gesture. "Director Park is here. What can I do for him?"

"I..." Li Shengli was speechless, "You, you guys..."

Although the police station chief was not a high-ranking official, he was caught so cleanly and efficiently. Li Shengli had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Chief Zheng." Bae Yong-jun looked at Zheng Taihao.

Zheng Taihao nodded and waved his hand. The people next to him stepped forward and were about to handcuff Li Shengli as well.

"Wait! Wait! You can't do this!" Li Shengli looked at the prosecutor approaching with handcuffs in his hand, and backed away in horror on the ground.

"You can't take me away like this!"

"No!" he yelled, fumbled around for his cell phone, and started calling in a panic.

"Hello? Hello!"

He yelled into the phone, his fear and anxiety evident.

However, the phone was not connected.

"Siba!"

Several prosecutors did not rush forward. Bae Yong-jun glanced at Jung Tae-ho, who also had a funny smile on his face as he watched Lee Seung-ri yelling at his phone.

"Chief Nim, tell him." Bae Yong-jun said to Jung Tae-ho.

"Hmm?" Zheng Taihao turned his head with interest. "Tell him? He's really enjoying it."

"Tell him he'll probably be more motivated." Pei Yongjun smiled.

"Really? I'm afraid he'll just become depressed." Zheng Taihao was a little uncertain.

"Really." Pei Yongjun nodded.

"Then I believe you." Zheng Taihao whispered a few words to his subordinate beside him. The subordinate turned around and ran down the stairs and ran towards the black business car on the side of the road.

"What do you want to tell me?" Li Shengli also heard the conversation between the two and raised his head to ask.

"No need to call," Pei Yongjun glanced at the phone he hadn't dialed yet, then raised his hand and pointed at the black business car, "The person you're looking for is right there."

"The person I'm looking for?" Li Shengli muttered to himself in a daze, then turned his head abruptly. A familiar but dejected figure got out of the business car.

"Chief Zhao..." he muttered to himself, looking at the deputy chief of the Seoul Police Department, whom he had finally won over, being taken out of the car like that.

Director Zhao walked to the door in two steps. Li Shengli stared at him blankly, looking at the handcuffs on his hands.

"Chief Zheng." Director Zhao's face was very grim. "I..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Shengli suddenly rushed over and hugged his legs, "What's going on!"

"what's wrong with you!"

"How did you get caught too?!"

He roared like a madman, as if he couldn't accept the collapse of his last hope.

"What's going on? It's all because of you, you bastard!" Director Zhao's face turned pale and he kicked Li Shengli aside.

"Without you, I wouldn't be like this! And you even took a sneak shot of me, Xiba!" He chased after him and kicked him several times, making Li Shengli roll twice on the ground. "Xiba!"

"Me?" Li Shengli rolled over twice on the ground and pointed at himself.

"Of course it's you," Pei Yongjun pulled out the notebook from his pocket, turned to the first page, pointed to the fourth line and read, "February 2017, 2. The name behind it should be Zhao Chenglai."

"I accepted your sexual favors here, didn't I?"

"From then on, I was dragged into this situation by you and became your protective umbrella."

"Then he would come almost every month, enjoying the money, sex, and land acquisition."

Pei Yongjun looked at Li Shengli's extremely pale face, closed his notebook and patted his cheek, "Thank you for remembering it so clearly and for being so thoughtful to organize the secretly filmed videos."

"Otherwise, how could I have such convenience?"

"Maybe you really got away with it."

"You, you already knew what was written in the notebook?" Li Shengli seemed to understand. "How is that possible?"

"I encrypted it, how could you crack it so quickly?"

"I don't know." Pei Yongjun shook his head. "I only deduced the above after Zhao Chenglai explained it just now."

"It turns out I don't know what you wrote in this notebook."

"Don't know? Then how could you catch him?" Li Shengli asked in disbelief.

Zhao Chenglai is the deputy chief of the Seoul Police Department and is definitely a powerful person in the police system. How could he be brought down if he didn't know the secrets in his notebook?
The huge absurdity made him unable to believe what he saw, but everything was clearly laid out in front of him.

"how is this possible?"

"You don't even have evidence, you're breaking the law!"

he shouted.

"I have no evidence." Pei Yongjun took out his cell phone and showed it to Li Shengli. This was exactly what he showed to the bald man.

Li Shengli was stunned for a moment.

There was a photo on the phone screen, showing Zhao Chenglai in handcuffs. Next to it was an internal investigation order and suspension order from the Korean National Police Agency, which was enough to instantly bring Zhao Chenglai, a very important figure in the Seoul police force, into the abyss.

"Maybe it's illegal, so what?"

Pei Yongjun looked at him who was stunned and smiled, "Looks like you lost miserably in the fight for backstage support."

"It doesn't matter whether you have your notebook or not."

"From the moment I arrested you last night."

"Whoever you call will be investigated, and whoever helps you will be exempted."

"That's it. It's very simple."

"You, what kind of reporter are you! Aren't you trying to uncover the truth?" Li Shengli never thought that Bae Yongjun would defeat him miserably in this way.

He tried his best to destroy the evidence, threaten the victims, and even at the last moment, he fought to protect the secrets of his treasured notebook.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yongjun didn't care at all.

Just like an elephant doesn't care what an ant is doing.

"Hey, Lee Seung-ri, I'm an entertainment reporter," Bae Yong-jun raised an eyebrow, "not a police officer."

Li Shengli was struck by lightning.

"Then why are you asking me? Why are you hitting me?" He recalled the beating he had just received, a look of despair on his face. "Why did you force me to jump?"

So everything is under Pei Yongjun's control?

Everything about myself makes me look like a clown.

"Why!" he roared.

"Why?" Pei Yongjun pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I kind of dislike you."

"Now," he glanced at Li Shengli's broken leg and the blood all over his head and face, "it looks much better."

"you……"

"You're kidding me?!" He opened his eyes wide and muttered to himself as he looked at Pei Yongjun, "You're kidding me?"

"Well, are you not convinced?" Pei Yongjun stood up and looked at Li Shengli, who was like a puddle of mud under his feet. "Just bear with it."

"Ah! Ah!" Li Shengli let out a heart-wrenching howl, and then burst into tears, "Ah!"

"I don't agree!"

"Why don't you tell me the evidence? Why?"

"I don't accept it!" Li Shengli curled up on the ground, dragging his short legs, pounding the ground with his fists, and then
"Hey, is this guy crazy?" Zheng Taihao looked at Li Shengli, who was ten times more excited than before. He moved closer to Bae Yongjun and asked worriedly, "It looks like you've really upset him."

"Does it matter whether he is crazy or not?" Bae Yong-jun looked at Jung Tae-ho.

"Well, indeed, there is no difference. Even if he is dead now, the case still has to be handled." Zheng Taihao chuckled.

"You guy, you said there was no one up there, but you made such a fuss tonight." He clicked his tongue twice and looked Pei Yongjun up and down.

When the arrest warrant came down tonight, he was shocked. The National Police Agency actually dismissed Zhao Chenglai from his post, and the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office directly sent an arrest warrant for Zhao Chenglai to their Southern District Prosecutor's Office.

What kind of background does this junior have?

He was really curious and would never believe what Pei Yongjun said if it was just a coincidence.

"If you keep saying such things, I'll be really sad. Don't forget me in the future!"

He patted Pei Yongjun's arm and pointed at Zhao Chenglai and Director Park, "Then I'll take these people in to reconstruct the scene."

"Let's go!" He waved his hand and shouted, and the entourage on guard outside also retreated and rushed into the nightclub together, revealing the small group of people in the distance.

This is the protesting crowd, but there are not many people left now, only about a dozen or so, looking blankly at the prosecutor standing at the door in the distance.

To be honest, they no longer hold out much hope, but they just don't want to watch Lee Seung-ri go unpunished, and they just want to comfort their conscience in the cold wind.

No one explained to them and they didn't know what was going on. Suddenly a prosecutor came over and the entourage drove them away.

Now that everyone had withdrawn and was rushing into the nightclub, they tentatively followed slowly, heading towards the door.

But these prosecutors...

As they approached the door, they saw a figure that they couldn't believe.

"Reporter Pei?!" someone shouted.

"Is it Bae Yongjun? Really?"

"It's him! It's really him!"

People suddenly became excited.

Pei Yongjun looked at the crowd.

"Reporter Pei, why are you here?" someone asked.

"If you don't come soon, you might be expelled from the Journalists Association," Pei Yongjun said, sparking laughter. "Thank you for your hard work."

"no!"

"It's not hard work!"

"How is he doing now?" someone asked the question that everyone was most concerned about, "Li Shengli..."

"Are you okay?"

The sudden arrival of the prosecutor and the appearance of Bae Yong-jun from the nightclub aroused their anticipation.

Pei Yongjun looked at these people in the cold winter night. Their faces were a little pale from the cold, and the white breath they exhaled was floating in the air. Their eyes were full of expectation, but also full of worry.

Pei Yongjun didn't say anything. He bent down, grabbed Li Shengli at his feet, and pulled his upper body up.

Only then did everyone notice the limp figure at Pei Yongjun's feet.

The bloodstained face looked quite ferocious, causing many people to exclaim in surprise.

"Reporter Pei, who is this?"

Pei Yongjun continued to exert force and lifted his head up, and it fell into the bright light of the sign at the door.

The cursive sign that read "Burning Sun" flashed brightly, illuminating the pale, distorted, and blood-stained face.

"Is this... Li Shengli?" Someone finally recognized him.

"Li Shengli!"

"It's Li Shengli!"

Everyone recognized them one by one.

"The truth!" Pei Yongjun looked at the pairs of eyes filled with surprise and joy, "It's right here!"

His figure, next to Li Shengli's decadent body, looked handsome and majestic.

"Please, everyone, continue to support our reporting."

"Support the truth everyone is waiting for!"

"Long live!"

"Long live reporter Pei!"

The crowd cheered, their voices carrying far in the thin, cold night air, filled with joy and excitement.

"Long live the truth!"

"Reporter Pei, I love you!"

Laughter rang out.

Pei Yongjun nodded and responded with a smile, but his eyes were looking at a big tree on the road in the distance.

His eyes flashed slightly.

------

"Ouni, why don't you let me pass!" Kim Min-woon was behind a big tree beside the road, looking at the people cheering around Bae Yong-jun, his eyes full of envy.

She waited here for a long time, trembling, and finally saw the prosecutor coming. It seemed that things had taken a turn for the better. However, when everyone gathered at the door, Liu Zhimin pulled Jin Minyao away and hid behind a big tree beside the road.

As a result, everyone was enjoying the joy of the clouds and fog clearing and seeing justice again, but Kim Min-yeon could only blow the cold wind behind the tree.

Jin Min-yeon felt that his life was so miserable.

Well, so it is very important to follow the right master.

Hmm? Master?

Jin Min-woon felt as if some strange thoughts were gradually entering his mind.

"If you go over there, you'll be discovered."

"Discovered?" Jin Minyue still didn't understand.

"Editor Pei will definitely recognize you, and then tell your father, and then..." Liu Zhimin stretched out his voice, "Didn't your father say that you are not allowed to join in the fun in places like this?"

Why, why did he win? Why did I...

While dealing with Kim Min-woon, Liu Zhimin pinched Kim Min-woon's messy hair with his hand in annoyance, and his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"Ah? It was obviously Unnie who pulled me here!" Kim Min-woon widened his eyes.

"That's because Min Yan insisted on not leaving." Liu Zhimin pinched her cheek
“Ah!” Jin Min-woon didn’t know what happened to Liu Zhimin, “Ouni, Yongjun oppa seems to have gone in!”

"Just go and take a look." Pei Yongjun's figure seemed to disappear, and the crowd showed signs of dispersing, which made her anxious. "Otherwise, it would be a waste of time!"

"Your wait won't be in vain. Come with me and I'll show you something fun." Liu Zhimin looked at the pitiful Jin Minyue, suppressed his thoughts, took her away from behind the big tree, walked around the hotel where the nightclub was located, and came to the back of the building.

The two hid in a phone booth.

"Ouni, what are you going to do?" Kim Min-hye didn't know what Liu Zhimin was going to take her to see. The two of them had been waiting here for a while.

"Don't talk, look." Liu Zhimin hissed and pointed to the back door behind the building.

Pei Yongjun walked out from the back door, with a girl leaning against him.

Jin Min-yeon was stunned.

This this……

She looked at Liu Zhimin beside her, then at the girl, and then looked down at her own feet that were exposed, feeling extremely sad and angry.

The gap between the rich and the poor is too big!
While Kim Min-young was in pain, Bae Yong-jun and Kwon Eun-bi got into an arriving car and left.

"Bad man..."

Liu Zhimin looked at the car's back as it drove away and wrinkled her small nose.
