The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 21 Confusing right and wrong

Pei Yongjun moved closer to the screen and looked carefully. The miniature camera at the air outlet of the central air conditioner was facing the door, and it captured Choi Jong-bum's appearance clearly.

Choi Jong-Bum's sneer came from the computer speakers.

"What's wrong with me asking for some money? If it weren't for that woman Goo Hara, would she have ended up like this?" Choi Jong-Bum kicked the coat rack at the door to vent his anger.

The tall coat rack fell down next to the sofa with a bang, smashing the vase on the ground into pieces and knocking over the miserable puppy Yumi.

"Mo? Hurt you?" Choi Sulli couldn't help but step forward and questioned, "You said unnie hurt you? Isn't unnie good enough to you?"

"Yeah, she's good to me, feeding me and clothing me. How wonderful," Choi Jong-Bum turned around and forced a twisted smile. "And I'm just a parasite, right?"

"Is that what you think, Choi Sulli?"

"I'm telling you, I saw through you a long time ago. That woman Goo Hara thought the same thing!"

"you……"

"What did you say!" Choi Jong-Bum's bloodshot eyes widened wildly, and Choi Sulli subconsciously took a step back.

"If she really loves me, she should support me with all her strength. Isn't she rich? She has plenty of money!" Choi Jong-Bum said frantically, "She should give me all the money and let me succeed!"

Choi Jong-Bum has actually shifted all the blame onto Goo Hara, and instead plays the victim. "If she continues to give me money, and gives me more money, will I borrow money from loan sharks again?"

"It's all her fault, and yours!"

"What success?! Don't you know you've been cheated? Do you think your beauty salon will be successful?" Choi Sulli couldn't stand it any longer. She was so angry at Choi Jong-Bum's nonsense that she was shaking all over. "You really are, you really are..."

"What is the truth?!" Choi Jong-Bum opened his eyes wide, took a step forward, and suddenly pulled out a small knife from his arms.

"Goo Hara is hiding, so you have to pay. We agreed on 1 billion, give it to me!"

"Don't tell me you haven't prepared the money yet, or I'll be rude!"

The camera on the air conditioner remote control on the sideboard reflected Choi Jong-bum's fierce face.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Pei Yongjun, who was in front of the screen on the second floor, stood up suddenly, picked up his mobile phone, and walked to the stairs while staring at the screen.

"Give it to me! Where's the money?" Choi Jong-Bum brandished a sharp knife, forcing Choi Sulli to retreat repeatedly. "Money!"

His eyes were red, and he swung his hand, waving the blade past her ear, and the cold light blew off a strand of hair.

Choi Sulli shuddered all over.

"If you don't pay me today, I'll make you suffer!" Choi Jong-Bum pushed Choi Sulli into a corner. "Do you hear me? Hurry up!"

"Don't think I'm kidding! Otherwise, you'll end up like Goo Hara!"

The sharp blade was right in front of her. Choi Sulli thought of the bruised Goo Hara, but she didn't flinch. She refused word by word, "I've already given you 450 million. I won't give you a penny more!"

“Not a penny!”

"Are you kidding me?" Choi Jong-Bum's face changed. "Didn't you steal the money again?!"

"Steal? Didn't you blackmail me? Blackmailed Hara-unnie?!" Choi Sulli gritted her teeth, with only anger in her eyes, not a trace of fear.

"Yes! So what if I'm blackmailing you? I got it and it's mine! Then why don't you explain to the police why you brought thugs to my house in the middle of the night and beat me up?"

"Do you want to try it too?" Seeing that Choi Sulli was not pretending and really had no intention of giving money, Choi Jong-bum, who came with high expectations, felt that he was being fooled. He became furious and raised the knife high like a madman.

Choi Sulli didn't flinch.

The arm suddenly dropped, then stopped in mid-air. Faint sirens rang out from outside, as if a police car was patrolling nearby.

Choi Jong-Bum took a step back, a smile of sudden enlightenment on his face, "Okay, why should I do that?"

"I almost fell into your trap. You forced me to take action, right?"

"Hahahaha, what a shame, it was so close," he shook his head. "I'm going to call the police. A big star brought his thugs to break into people's homes and rob people."

"You! And that scarred face, you all have to kneel down and beg me!" He took two steps back, walked towards the door, and pushed it open. "Wait and see what happens then!"

With a bang, Choi Jong-Bum disappeared outside the door.

Choi Sulli turned her head to look out the window. Choi Jong-bum walked down the stairs and stopped a passing patrol car. The middle-aged police officer driving the car glanced at the villa, then waved to him to get in the car and left together.

Bae Yong-jun walked down the stairs carrying his bag, while Choi Sulli was still standing by the window, seemingly dazed.

He walked up to her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Choi Sulli nodded.

"Then I'll go check the cameras first." Pei Yongjun walked around the living room, collected the four hidden cameras one by one, and put them next to his bag.

"Is everything okay?" Choi Sulli's voice came from beside him.

"I'm checking. There should be no problem. You can go to the sofa and rest." Pei Yongjun checked one by one.

"Editor-in-chief, was I too impulsive just now?" Choi Sulli hesitated for a while and asked again.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yongjun asked while checking.

"Just now, something almost happened just now." Choi Sulli's voice was very low.

Only after Choi Jong-Bum left did she feel a sense of fear.

If I get injured here, Bae Yong-jun will definitely come to stop Choi Jong-bum, and then the subsequent plan will not be able to be carried out.

"Yes," Pei Yongjun put the four cameras into his bag, stood up, and looked at her still pale face, "so apologize."

"Mo?" She was stunned for a moment. "Apologize?"

"You almost got my informant hurt. Shouldn't you apologize?" Pei Yongjun said seriously.

"Ah," Choi Sulli burst out laughing, "Editor-in-Chief nim..."

As she laughed and looked at Pei Yongjun looking straight into her eyes, she didn't know why her mind recalled the scar on Pei Yongjun that was shining under the light last night.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, her laughter became softer and softer, she lowered her eyes and stared at the tips of her shoes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Your courage is commendable, but don't do this next time." Pei Yongjun's voice softened. Choi Sulli's unyielding look under the blade just now touched his heart.

"It's not the nature of a good reporter to make his informants risk their lives."

"Yes, editor-in-chief nim." Choi Sulli responded obediently.

"Take a break, let's get ready to go."

"Walk?"

"He almost hurt my informant," Pei Yongjun muttered to himself, looking out the window, "I can't just let this go."
