The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 210: Encountering a Debtor Again (Two in One)

At 7:50 p.m., Pei Yongjun was led to the door of Studio No. 1 on time.

The news conference was about to begin in ten minutes. There were fewer busy staff members, each standing at their own position, looking nervous and ready for action.

"Editor-in-Chief Pei, please sit here." Li Junhao led Pei Yongjun inside. His seat was on the left side of the triangular table, while Kim Dong-gun and the female announcer were sitting on the middle side of the table.

"Anchor Kim." Pei Yongjun sat down.

"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Pei." Kim Dong-gun was wearing a neat suit, looking straight ahead, with a stiff attitude, and didn't say a word.

Pei Yongjun didn't say anything else, just looked around casually.

As expected, Park Min-soo and Kim Dong-gun were planning to use the method of flattery to kill.

Ever since KBS strangely accepted Lin Bingxian's recommendation and asked him to come to "Evening News" for an exclusive interview, he understood what Park Min-soo wanted to do.

Just now in the studio, he deliberately cursed Kim Dong-gun a few words. He had always hated him, but he actually endured it. This was undoubtedly proof.

It seems that I will be able to fully display my super powers later.

Bae Yong-jun's gaze slid from Kim Dong-gun's profile to the full auditorium, and he found a familiar figure in the corner of the last row.

He was wearing a white sailor suit shirt and a grey baseball cap that covered his big eyes, but his delicate facial features were clearly visible. When he straightened up slightly, the outlines of his two grapefruits were faintly visible in the crowd.

Bae Yong-jun smiled at Liu Zhimin.

Eyes facing each other.

Liu Zhimin glared at him, and became angry when she saw his well-dressed appearance. She shook her little fist fiercely at him under the spotlight on the stage.

"Excuse me, what's wrong?" A voice suddenly came from beside me.

"Ah? Nothing." Liu Zhimin then realized that the people around her seemed to have noticed her strange behavior and were turning their heads to look at her.

She quickly put her hands down, lowered the brim of her hat, and waited for the show to begin.

"News brings the truth, and the truth will never be erased. Hello, friends from Peninsula, I am the anchor Kim Dong-gun..." Kim Dong-gun began to report the news.

The 120 seats were full. Liu Zhimin lowered his head and listened to the whispers of people around him, but found that many people came today just to see Pei Yongjun.

For example, the pretty girl sitting next to him actually took out a cheering banner with Bae Young-jun's photo printed on it from her bag. It had the words "Justice Will Prevail" printed on it, and she looked very serious.

Justice will prevail?

Oh, do you know what your reporter Pei just did to me?

You're going to eat someone's feet as soon as you meet them, okay? And you even reach out and touch them...

Liu Zhimin's cheeks turned red when she thought of this. Looking at Pei Yongjun who was sitting upright on the stage with a serious expression, she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely again.

Sanctimonious!

abnormal!
She kept complaining in her heart, and before she knew it, the interview had already begun.

"Editor-in-Chief Pei, you have recently reported several news stories that have attracted great attention. Can you tell us what your motivation was for discovering these news stories?" Kim Dong-gun asked Pei Yongjun with a smile on his face.

"I think what supports me is my persistence in seeking the truth and my inner sense of justice." Pei Yongjun looked upward with deep eyes, as if recalling various experiences.

Ah?
Laugh to death.

Looking at the little girl with a look of longing on her face, Liu Zhimin rolled his eyes.

Following Kim Dong-gun's questions, Bae Young-jun started talking about Goo Hara being blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend, and expanded on the story one thing at a time.

When the topic of discovering something wrong with the golden phone came up, the audience was extremely captivated.

Listening to Pei Yongjun's narration of how he dug up clues bit by bit, from an ordinary emotional dispute, he finally used a helicopter to stop Zico who intended to destroy evidence, and then discovered a shocking criminal alliance.

The audience exclaimed.

Liu Zhimin suddenly came to his senses and found that his hands were tightly clutching his pants. He had been listening intently without realizing it.

Pei Yongjun also...

It's pretty awesome.

"...When I learned the truth, Lee Seung-ri still wanted to bribe me. I was so angry that I couldn't help but slap him..." Bae Yong-jun continued.

Liu Zhimin lowered his head, wrinkled his nose, and muttered a few words, but suddenly heard a louder cry from the surroundings.

She looked up and her eyes suddenly widened.

Pei Yongjun, who was so gentle and polite just now, suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Kim Dong-gun in the face with a crisp sound.

Kim Dong-gun opened his eyes wide, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes wide open, as if he was about to explode in the next second.

"Mo?!" Liu Zhimin stood up suddenly.

Really fighting?!
crazy?

How will it end now?

This happened in front of the camera and millions of viewers!

If you want to touch me, I'll let you touch me. Is it really necessary to do this?!
Liu Zhimin was so engrossed in listening that he completely forgot about the bet. Seeing that Pei Yongjun actually slapped Jin Dongjian as he said, he suddenly became anxious.

"Ma'am, please sit down." The staff member next to her spoke.

"But, but..." Liu Zhimin opened her mouth and looked at Pei Yongjun on the stage, who looked calm and composed, and even had the leisure to smile at her. She felt like her brain was about to explode, "I..."

In a panic, I suddenly heard Kim Dong-gun on the stage speaking.

Kim Dong-gun sat on the stage with a burning face.

All eyes in the room were fixed on him. The faces of the employees who had been very respectful to him were filled with surprise. That look was more painful than killing him.

I can't take it anymore!

He was about to explode, but suddenly he saw Park Min-soo standing in the director's room in the corner.

He looked at himself with a cold face, as if ice water was poured down from the top of his head.

Suddenly I could bear it again.

The corners of Jin Dongjian's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile, "Haha, that..."

"Well, I just discussed it with Editor Pei, and we think it would be better to simulate the situation here."

"Yeah, that's right," Bae Yong-jun also laughed, "I really admire Anchor Kim's professionalism."

"I want everyone to experience that kind of anger."

"Ah~~" Everyone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"It scared me. I actually thought a fight had broken out."

"How is that possible? How could Editor-in-Chief Pei do such a thing? This revelation is so timely! I just wanted to beat up Li Shengli after hearing it."

"This anchor Jin is pretty good too, so dedicated. I'm starting to like him."

Listening to the audience's discussions, the smile on Kim Dong-gun's face twisted.

He looked at Pei Yongjun next to him, who looked calm with a smile on his face and the pen in his hands making a crackling sound. He wanted to cut him into pieces.

He could fool the audience but not the staff. He and Bae Yong-jun had a conflict as soon as they arrived, and he didn't say a word afterwards. How could there be any "discussion"?
The cameraman, lighting technician, script supervisor, and assistant all cast their eyes over.

Jin Dongjian was so frustrated that he was about to go crazy, but he could only force a smile, with admiration for Pei Yongjun on his face, "Compared to what Editor Pei did, it's really nothing, hehe."

Liu Zhimin stood there blankly, looking at the two people on the stage who were having a great time and praising each other, feeling that his brain was almost not enough.

How is this going?

Unlike the other viewers, Yoo Ji-min knew about the relationship between Bae Young-joon and Kim Dong-gun. It was a relief that they didn't fall out right away; they actually greeted him with a smile. "Discuss? When did they discuss it?" A nearby staff member was also surprised.

No negotiation? Then why did Kim Dong-gun help Bae Young-joon?

No way……

Liu Zhimin looked at Pei Yongjun and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Is it true that there are super powers?
Mo?
If he really hit me, wouldn't I be...

【Touch! Don’t let it kill you! 】

Liu Zhimin suddenly remembered what he had said in shame and anger, and his cheeks felt hot.

"Hello, Miss, please sit down." The staff member next to her came back to her senses from the shock and walked over to remind Liu Zhimin.

"Oh, oh, okay." Liu Zhimin sat down slowly, and when he looked at the stage again, he happened to meet Pei Yongjun's eyes from a distance.

Pei Yongjun blinked.

Liu Zhimin stood up again in an instant, "Um, where is the bathroom? I need to go."

"Here."

Liu Zhimin lowered his hat, crouched down, and disappeared from Pei Yongjun's sight.

------

"That's all for today's 'Evening News.' News brings the truth, and the truth never fades. I'm anchor Kim Dong-gun, and we'll see you tomorrow."

The jib camera slowly moved away, the director made an OK gesture, and the smile on Kim Dong-gun's face disappeared instantly.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Anchor Jin." Pei Yongjun looked at him with a smile and extended his right hand. "Let's shake hands."

"Get out!" Kim Dong-gun's face turned ashen, his lips turned pale, and he looked like he was about to have a heart attack from anger.

He stood up and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the audience.

"Anchor Kim, you are so dedicated. Why don't you participate in the Dong-A News Awards? I will vote for you!" A young audience member excitedly shouted to Kim Dong-gun.

"I'm not participating? Me!"

Am I not participating?

It was clearly kicked out by that hypocrite Bae Yong-jun!

Kim Dong-gun, who had finally suppressed his anger, was almost mad to death. He turned his head suddenly, only to find that all the people were taking pictures of him with their cell phones.

"Young man, Anchor Jin is stepping down and making way for others. Didn't you hear how he admired Editor Pei just now?" An old lady nearby educated the young man who asked the question.

"Wow! Anchor Jin is really amazing." The young man exclaimed in admiration.

"I..." Kim Dong-gun forced a smile, which was uglier than crying, and his lips began to tremble.

"Thank you, Anchor Jin." Pei Yongjun stood up slowly, a sincere smile on his face, and patted his shoulder. "I admire your willingness to step down and let others take over."

Kim Dong-gun's legs went limp and he fell back into the chair, his face turning from ashen to pale.

Pei Yongjun turned around and smiled at the audience, then left amid cheers. He glanced at the audience and found that Liu Zhimin's seat was empty.

Beautiful women always like to default on their debts.

Alas, this is not good, really.

He lowered his head and shook it, then walked backstage, only to hear chaotic shouting behind him.

"Mr. Jin? What happened to you? Are you okay?"

"Hurry up! Anchor Jin has fainted!"

"Hurry up! Try pinching him twice."

"Don't pinch my face!"

Pei Yongjun's figure disappeared in the chaos.

------

Hutonghutong~
The side door of the KBS building was suddenly pushed open, and then a petite figure wearing a black windbreaker and a gray baseball cap sneaked out from inside.

Liu Zhimin raised the brim of his hat, ran quickly to the side of the road, looked around, glanced at the cars on the side of the road, and frowned.

"Master Jin! Where are you?" She took out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed the number quickly, her voice revealing anxiety.

"Right away, right away. I'm waiting at the main gate. It's not easy to go around the one-way street." Jin Yuanxiong's somewhat rough voice came from the phone.

"Hurry up!" Liu Zhimin urged, "I'm on the roadside outside the East Second Gate. Hurry up!"

"There are only two more intersections left." Kim Won-woong said slowly, "Who else are you going to meet tonight? Still with Kang Daniel? I'll give you a discount."

"No! I'm not in the mood. Hurry up! Hurry up!" Liu Zhimin urged while looking at the door behind him, as if he was afraid of being caught up by someone, as if he was hiding from a creditor.

"Okay, okay, last intersection."

Liu Zhimin urged a few more times, and then he saw a black model taxi turn out at the intersection on the north side and drive straight towards him.

It was the taxi that he often used, Kim Won-woong.

Liu Zhimin waved and took a few steps forward, and the taxi stopped with a bang.

Before the car stopped, Liu Zhimin immediately opened the door and jumped in. The black taxi drove away without stopping for a moment.

----

"Huh~" Liu Zhimin sat in the back seat, turned his head to look at the KBS building that was quickly moving away, and breathed a sigh of relief.

cut~
abnormal!
I won't let him touch it!
Liu Zhimin puffed up her cheeks like a little bun, gestured at the KBS building, made a face, and then turned around.

"Hey, Master Jin! What took you so long? Aren't you usually very efficient?" She straightened her clothes that were messed up from running all the way, and patted the driver's seat in front of her with some dissatisfaction.

"I almost got caught."

"Who caught him?" asked the driver wearing a hat in the driver's seat.

"By whom? You wouldn't know even if I tell you. Anyway, it's a change..." Liu Zhimin suddenly stopped talking.

The driver's face was reflected in the rearview mirror.

She's very familiar.

However, it wasn't the bald uncle Kim Won-woong who worked as a stalker taxi driver that she was familiar with.

He had handsome eyebrows and dark, deep eyes, and was looking at himself through the rearview mirror.

"Passenger with license plate number 7963, please fasten your seat belt. Driver Pei Yongjun, license plate number 87052, is at your service."

Liu Zhimin felt stiff all over, as if he had walked into a trap like a little rabbit.

"Jimin, it's not a good habit to default on your debts."

Pei Yongjun looked at Liu Zhimin's panicked eyes in the rearview mirror and smiled, "I'll help you fix it. You're welcome."

Beautiful to death?

really?
He didn't believe it.

The black model taxi rushed through the traffic in Seoul and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
