The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 28 Put it to death
Bae Yong-jun took Choi Jong-bum to sit in the middle of the table, then walked to the side of the podium and turned on the microphone.

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet," he said several times until the audience quieted down a bit. "Today, at the request of the person involved, I am holding a press conference here to provide due explanations to the fans and the public who care about Goo Hara-xi."

"Is the person involved Choi Jong-Bum?!" a reporter in the audience shouted.

Pei Yongjun hesitated for a moment and said, "We did interview Choi Jong-Bumxi."

"He had something to say that he felt he had to make public."

Li Haizan smiled in the audience, feeling at ease.

Last night, when he was stopped at the police station, he happened to find the notebook that the police officer had dropped in a hurry. He opened it and found that it was an interrogation record.

The time, place, police number and even the final seal were all complete and absolutely true, and the content was exactly Choi Jong-Bum's testimony.

Although he felt it was a bit strange, forging police documents such as interrogation records was a serious crime, and he didn't think Pei Yongjun had such power to make the police cooperate with him in doing such a thing.

In addition to the key information he obtained, he hurriedly took photos of the content and concocted a report overnight, which was scheduled to be released at 9:30, in order to completely make this Hanjiang Sports press conference, which was highly anticipated, a joke.

The appearance of Choi Jong-bum in front of him and his miserable appearance were enough to prove that his bet was right.

His arm was broken. If it wasn't Goo Hara who hit him, could it be that he hit himself?

He held a press conference even after being beaten. He must be trying to make some money.

As for money, Dispactch has no shortage of it.

Li Haichan waited for his words.

"Choi Jong-Bum, please speak." Bae Yong-jun looked at the audience and signaled Choi Jong-Bum to start speaking.

"I..." Choi Jong-Bum swallowed and felt a little scared facing the crowd in the auditorium.

"Reporter Park, are you going to say it directly? How do you want to say it?" He lowered his voice and looked at Bae Yong-jun who was sitting on the podium.

"Cui Zhongfanxi, please speak." Pei Yongjun seemed not to hear and urged again.

"Okay, okay." Choi Jong-Bum swallowed, cleared his throat, and began to speak, "I'm Choi Jong-Bum."

His cheeks were red and swollen, and his voice sounded a little slurred.

"Everyone knows that Goo Hara and I are in a relationship."

"But, actually, there's something else I want to say, I..."

"Actually, the reason for the breakup was because I was abused!"

"She slaps me all the time, really! She's the one who slaps me in the face!"

Choi Jong-Bum pointed at his own face and spit out saliva.

But the audience was a little silent.

There was a buzzing sound from the audience, and the flash lights were flashing weakly. The people in the audience were actually listening, looking at their phones, and whispering to each other.

"Yeah, it's exactly the same."

"Oh my god, Bae Yongjun can't sit still. It's so embarrassing."

"Just wait and see. Li Haichan will definitely give him a hard time."

Choi Jong-Bum was at a loss as to what to do and suddenly stopped talking.

How could this happen? This shouldn't be the case.
"Reporter nim?" He covered the microphone and anxiously called Pei Yongjun beside him.

Pei Yongjun did not respond, but urged him again, "Cui Zhongfanxi, please continue."

"Speak? Reporter-nim, is everything really okay? Reporter Park!" Choi Jong-Bum shouted in panic.

"Choi Jong-Bum, please continue..." Pei Yongjun looked calm, but was interrupted by a voice from the audience.

"Ah, what are you talking about!" Li Haizan stood up at the side, attracting everyone's attention. "Choi Jong-beom, you said the wound on your face was caused by Goo Hara hitting you, right?"

"...Yes." Choi Jong-Bum nodded. "Then what happened to your arm? Was she hitting you too? Or were you pushed down the stairs?" Lee Hae-Chan continued to ask.

"Mo?" Choi Jong-Bum was stunned, then his face lit up with joy. "Yes! Yes! How did you know? That's it!"

He suddenly stood up and said, "My arm was broken by her like that, so I had no choice but to break up with her."

"Does she still insult you often?"

"Yes! Yes!" Finally someone agreed. Choi Jong-Bum didn't have time to think about it. He raised his hands, covered his face, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and cried, "That's right! That's right!"

"I don't know why the person I love would treat me like this."

He squeezed out a few tears and cried loudly, "I clearly..."

"Ah! You're lying! Choi Jong-Bum!" A sharp female voice came, and everyone turned to look. At the door of the auditorium, a little girl somehow pushed away the security guard who was maintaining order at the door and staggered into the auditorium.

"Why are you slandering Hara-unnie? Hara-unnie is such a kind person, how could she do such a thing!

"Ah! Who's lying?" Choi Jong-Bum's eyes widened, veins bulging in his neck. "What do you know? Were you there? Unnie, unnie, did you talk to her?"

"She is the most vicious woman I have ever seen. How could it not be her?"

"You're lying! Eunnie would never do such a thing!" She cried and shouted, "Why are you slandering Eunnie!"

"Little girl, celebrities are all characters. Only someone as naive as you would be deceived!" Li Haizan sneered.

"You are not a good person either! You damn paparazzi! Your whole family will die a miserable death! You bastard!" The little girl was very excited.

"Hey, you little girl, if you curse me again, I will sue you for defamation tomorrow!" Li Haizan said viciously.

“You, you…” The little girl was at a loss. She could only sob and repeat weakly, “Ouni can’t be like this, it’s impossible…”

"Editor-in-Chief Pei," Li Haizan walked to the front of the stage, a reserved smile on his face, and the rims of his gold-rimmed glasses, "I think we should end it today."

"Why bother standing here?"

"Ok?"

"Choi Jong-Bum," Lee Hae-chan turned to Choi Jong-Bum, who was crying and covering his face. "We all know your situation. Will you cooperate with us from now on?"

"Yes, we are Dispatch. We will seek justice for Goo Hara's domestic violence against you."

"After the press conference..."

"No." A blunt rejection came from the podium, suppressing his voice.

Li Haizan turned his head and looked.

"No, the press conference is not over." Pei Yongjun's voice echoed in the auditorium, "It has just begun."

"Start?" Li Haizan suddenly felt panicky and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He wanted to say something but was interrupted again.

"Please be quiet!" Pei Yongjun covered his voice tightly. He turned his head and looked at the closed back door of the venue. "The person who will be attending the press conference will meet with everyone now."

The dark door opened and sunlight poured in from outside.

A slender figure walked in.

The person in front was slender, with a pale face, long hair draped behind him, and big eyes staring directly at Choi Jong-Bum on the stage.

"It's me. I have something to say." Goo Hara's clear voice rang out, and the auditorium fell silent.

With a loud bang, the crowd stood up and surged like a tide!
"Please, speak here..."

Pei Yongjun stood up, his expression as calm as iron, his eyes as sharp as swords, and he cut through the crowd.

"Tell the truth."
