The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 25 Silent Joy
Pei Yongjun's words startled her.

"Your bad nature is deep-rooted and hard to change. Hara-xi has seen through Choi Jong-Bum, so she will never let you give him any money."

"She has contacted reporters before, but she hasn't made up her mind yet."

"It wasn't until she found out that you were blackmailed by Choi Jong-Bum because of her that she made up her mind to accept the interview."

This is what Goo Hara told him during the interview this morning.

"Ouni..." Choi Sulli murmured to herself, with tears in her eyes.

Only then did she understand why Goo Hara accepted her persuasion so easily and chose to be interviewed.

Was it for yourself?

Tears were streaming down my face.

"Hara is very brave, and so are you." Bae Yongjun looked at her.

"I didn't." Choi Sulli shook her head, her big eyes sparkling with tears, "No."

"Editor-in-Chief..." She sobbed a few times, raised her hand, and wiped her tears with her sleeve, "I'm sorry, I'm crying again."

"It's annoying to cry every day, isn't it?"

"I don't hate it, I actually like it." Pei Yongjun said.

"Hmm?" Choi Sulli hummed with a heavy nasal tone, a little confused.

"Once we take care of him tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to see you cry."

"Well, well," Choi Sulli twisted her lips, "If you really like it, I'll cry for you again."

"Then you should cry for a while now." Pei Yongjun laughed.

Looking at his smile, Choi Sulli felt much better and her tears gradually stopped.

"Editor-in-chief nim..." She hummed twice and was suddenly startled.

Why, why does it sound a bit like acting like a spoiled child?

Choi Sulli was a little flustered.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine, right?" She tried to find a way to distract herself. "What about Choi Jong-Bum later?"

"Let's rest here and let him be happy here for one more night. There will be no problem for tomorrow." Pei Yongjun raised his hand, pinched the second button on his chest with his fingers, and gently twisted it a few times, and actually unscrewed the button.

"His evidence of guilt is all here."

"Here?" Choi Sulli looked at the small black button in his palm.

"This is a button camera. I only use it occasionally."

"Really? Can you take a clear picture of something so small?" Curiosity flashed in her eyes, "Huh?!"

Pei Yongjun put the button directly into her hand.

"Can I, can you give it to me?" Choi Sulli held it to her chest, carefully handling it, fearing that it would break.

Just when she was a little panicked, Pei Yongjun stretched out the screen of his mobile phone in front of her eyes and shook it. The screen showed the picture from the camera, which was very clear.

"With equipment imported from Germany and a specially made lens, a gap of only 0.4mm is enough to capture any scene..."

Pei Yongjun explained, turned the phone screen, and suddenly paused.

The button camera held against her chest captured every detail of Choi Sulli's neck. A shallow dimple appeared beside her slender collarbone, and a few strands of her jet-black hair draped over it, making her skin appear even more delicate and white.

Pei Yongjun's heart moved, and he looked up at Cui Xueli, "...It was captured clearly."

"Huh?" Choi Sulli looked up at him, was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Pei Yongjun was looking at.

She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her neck, but somehow, she slowly lowered it again.

"Yes, it's very clear." Her hands unconsciously rubbed the buttons between her fingers, her voice small and soft.

A faint fragrance, hard to tell whether it was perfume or cosmetics, lingered between the two people who were so close to each other, like orchid and musk, exuding an ambiguous scent.

Pei Yongjun leaned slightly, bringing the snow-white skin closer, and the tiny mole on the left cheek could be seen clearly.

The long, curved eyelashes were covered with tiny tears, flickering, and the slightly red and swollen eye sockets looked like crystal clear crystal.

Cui Xueli trembled, but remained obedient and motionless.

The small room was empty, with only the faint breathing sounds of two people.

Pei Yongjun's mouth felt dry. He slowly approached, inch by inch.

"Editor-in-chief nim..." Choi Sulli twisted her hands together, her voice as thin as a mosquito, almost inaudible.

The delicate skin before my eyes grew closer and closer, and then...

Click.

There was a sound of twisting of the door handle, and Choi Sulli shuddered all over, as if she had done something bad and was discovered, and hurriedly hid behind Bae Yongjun.

Jin Rongmin appeared at the door, "Yongjun, it's okay, the injury has been treated."

"Okay." Pei Yongjun nodded with a normal expression. "Thank you for taking care of him tonight. I'll pick him up tomorrow morning."

"It's nothing." Jin Rongmin waved his hand and spoke generously, "I scared him again. Now he thinks Li Renshan is looking for him all over the world."

He laughed heartily and suddenly realized that someone was missing from the room. "Hey, where's Shirley?"

"Officer Jin." Choi Sulli walked out from behind Bae Yongjun, a blush still lingering on her cheeks. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." He looked at Pei Yongjun, "Then let's leave it like this for now. Do you want to stay or go back?"

"I'm going back to the newspaper office first. Sulli, you stay here and explain to Officer Jin about Choi Jong-bum's blackmail against you." Bae Yong-jun instructed Choi Sulli.

"Do you want to go back?" The beautiful moment just now was still lingering in her mind, and Shirley was a little reluctant.

"Well, we need to prepare the things we need for tomorrow tonight."

"Okay." Choi Sulli nodded obediently and returned the button camera to him.

"Contact me if you have any questions."

"I understand. I won't let anything happen to your informant again, Editor-in-Chief Nim." She tilted her head and blinked.

"That's good." Pei Yongjun smiled and walked out with Jin Rongmin.

"After you finish this, come home and sit for a while. Your sister said she misses you very much." Jin Rongmin asked.

"Okay, uncle, no problem. It's been a while since I last visited my aunt."

"That's good……"

Choi Sulli watched the two figures disappear outside the door. After a few minutes, Kim Yongmin came back by himself with a thick notebook under his arm.

"Officer Jin, thank you so much this time." Choi Sulli stood up and expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"Xu Lixi, you're welcome." Jin Rongmin gestured to Cui Xueli, who had stood up to greet him, to sit down. "We are all from the same hometown."

"Are you from Busan?"

"Yes, are you from Busan too?" Choi Sulli nodded.

"Me too, and Yongjun too. Where are you from in Busan? We are from Yangsan." Kim Yongmin asked.

"Me too, I'm studying in Liangshan." Cui Xueli was a little surprised.

"Ah! From Yangsan?" Jin Rongmin was also quite surprised. His eyebrows twitched and his attitude became much more enthusiastic. "There are too few people from Yangsan in Seoul."

Yangsan City is a small satellite city east of Busan. It has a small population and is surrounded by mountains. It is rare to find such a city in the Seoul area with a population of 20 million.

"It's really not easy to make a living in Seoul," Kim Yong-min said, perhaps recalling the difficulties he faced after arriving in Seoul. "Houses are too expensive, and rent is expensive too. It's really expensive."

"We Liangshan people should help each other." He shook his head, looked at Cui Xueli, and asked with concern, "Xuelixi, you didn't get hurt this afternoon, did you?"

"There's a doctor here, you can ask him to come and see you."

"Mo?" Cui Xueli didn't react. "Injured?"

"Yeah, didn't that Choi Jong-Bum have a knife? He said you were in danger, so Yong-Jun asked me to sound the sirens. Did he scare him off?"

Cui Xueli was stunned for a moment, remembering the police siren that sounded at the perfect time in the afternoon.

She raised her left hand and touched her cheek, as if she could still feel Pei Yongjun's hot breath.

Editor-in-chief Nim, aren’t your witnesses well protected by you?

There was a hint of sweetness in Choi Sulli's heart as she silently rejoiced.
