The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 87 Live on the scene
"Ah!" Quan Hexiu stared at him fiercely, "Say it out! Watch out for your life! All..."

"Look at me, who is it!" Pei Yongjun grabbed his collar and tightened his grip. Looking at Zico's terrified eyes, his dark pupils flashed like the abyss.

A cold, robotic voice echoed in my mind.

[Consume 1 truth fragment]

Start listening to your heart

In an instant, the mechanical voice turned into Zico's terrified scream.

[Lee Seung-ri! It’s Lee Seung-ri! It’s him!]

"It's Lee Seung-ri, right?" Pei Yongjun said softly.

Zico's pupils suddenly widened, revealing a deep fear. "H-How did you know? How is it possible..."

Pei Yongjun loosened his collar, stood up, and looked towards the distant Seoul. At his feet was Zico struggling for mercy.

Oh it's you.

Hangang Sports Newspaper, Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

The office area of News Group 2 was still occupied by the prosecutor's staff, and the documents were scattered all over the place. Pei Yongjun's office was temporarily converted into an interrogation room.

Lin Bingxian was standing at the door of the office area, frowning and fidgeting.

He sat down, looked at Liu Chengzhu beside him, and gestured to the door with his eyes, "Chengzhu, is this girl reliable?"

Concubine Kwon had been in there for over an hour.

Lin Bingxian became more and more worried, fearing that she would say something.

"It should be fine." Liu Chengzhu frowned even more tightly.

"Should?" Lin Bingxian let out a deep breath and stood up again.

Hanjiang Sports has more than just Pei Yongjun as a reporter. What he fears most is being targeted by Zhu Xianying and having the newspaper turned upside down one after another. That would be the end of everything.

Now Joo Hyun-young has made it clear that she wants to start with the timid Kwon Eun-bi, and Lim Byung-hun is extremely anxious.

"Yongjun..." He wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly.

He couldn't contact Pei Yongjun now, nor could he not contact him, for fear that Zhu Xianying would catch him. "I asked around, and this prosecutor has a very strong background, alas!"

Liu Chengzhu didn't say anything either.

In Bae Yong-jun's office, Joo Hyun-young walked around Kwon Eun-bi, her high-end black leather shoes clacking on the floor, her expression gloomy.

Concubine Kwon sat at the table, biting her lower lip, with her head down, her hands clasped together on her knees, and cautiously looking at the leather shoes circling around her out of the corner of her eyes.

Zhu Xianying stopped and stared at the silent Quan Enfei. "You really have never seen and do not know that Pei Yongjun has done anything to invade other people's privacy?"

"Even if I've heard of it, it's fine."

Concubine Quan still didn't speak.

Zhu Xianying took a deep breath, frowned, looked at the dusk outside the window, and became more and more anxious.

She set her sights on Hanjiang Sports not only because she couldn't stand Park Ji-cheol's wanton invasion of other people's privacy, but also to prove her own ability and protect her uncle's reputation.

Of course she knew what everyone in the procuratorate was saying about her behind her back, and even about her uncle Cao Guo, and she was very angry.

I got here through my own efforts!

Zhu Xianying has always wanted to solve a major case and shut up those who talk about her behind her back.

Therefore, Zico reported Bae Young-joon's suspicion to her as an insider friend. Because of the Park Ji-cheol incident, Hangang Sports' Joo Hyun-young was targeted and immediately brought people to the scene.

After all, Goo Hara's news made a lot of noise some time ago. If he could see through Bae Young-jun's true identity, it would definitely be a sensational case.

Although he did not have solid evidence, Zhu Xianying relied on the prosecutor's "power to investigate a separate case."

As long as there is suspicion, an investigation can be started, and any confessions obtained during the investigation can be used to open a new case and restart the investigation. It is even possible to search, question and arrest almost indefinitely simply by constantly opening new cases.

She now needs evidence, even if it is just oral testimony, enough to continue to expand the case and then apply for the arrest of Pei Yongjun.

However, she hadn't expected the second group to be so stubborn. She questioned them for a whole day but couldn't find a way in. After much deliberation, she called Quan Enfei over again, intending to start with the student intern who seemed the easiest to break through. However, Quan Enfei remained silent and gritted her teeth until dusk, leaving her furious and anxious.

"Don't you want to talk?" She raised her voice.

"Enfei, since you also studied law, don't you know the consequences of perjury?"

"...I didn't commit perjury." Quan Enfei raised her head and said softly, "Team Leader, I really didn't..."

"How could there be no suspicion?" Zhu Xianying could no longer bear it and slapped the table in front of her. "Is there no suspicion at all?"

"You're still in school, and you're going to speak up for this kind of criminal?"

Concubine Quan Eun-Princess was so frightened that she trembled all over, but still shook her head firmly.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

"Mo! Yongjun?! Why is he on KBS?!" Lin Bingxian's extremely surprised voice came from outside.

Zhu Xianying looked outside the door, frowned, and suddenly opened the door.

A residential building in Songbuk District, Seoul
"Mom! I'm back!" Park Ji-won, a high school student, hurried home after finishing her cram school class and called out to her mother, "I'm hungry!"

"Ah, Zhiyuan, the food is on the table, please eat." Mom sat on the sofa and pointed to the kitchen.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'll wait a moment." Mom kept staring at the TV.

"Is 'Live Report' on tonight?" Park Ji-won remembered her mother's favorite show. "No, isn't today Thursday?"

"Ah! Interruption!"

Her mother likes to watch KBS's "Live Report" every Tuesday night. This 20-minute short and concise program focuses on social news and contains some very interesting things. Her mother will watch it and then tell stories to her friends as a "source of information".

However, if there is any breaking news, this program will be temporarily inserted.

It seems that today's news must be unusual.

"It hasn't started yet, but I saw in the trailer that it's related to that, that someone?" Mom tapped her forehead, unable to remember the name. "That one you really like, the one who even went to the press conference last time. Who is it?"

"Ah? Ah! Hara-unnie!" Park Ji-won's eyes lit up, and she didn't even bother to eat, and ran to the TV.

The bright light from the TV illuminated her face. It turned out that she was the little girl who rushed in and scolded Choi Jong-bum at the press conference on the Choi Jong-bum incident. She was a loyal fan of Goo Hara.

"Why is Hola-one on this show?"

"How should I know? Just look."

As he was speaking, loud music sounded from the TV. After the opening credits, anchorman Guo Xiangyan appeared on the screen.

However, it was not in the familiar live broadcast room, but in a strange place with noise all over the background.

"Dear viewers, this is KBS's 'Live Report'."

Guo Xiangyan said to the camera, "This is Seongnam City. We just received a report from our special correspondent that a group of thieves suspected of burglarizing Goo Hara's residence last night may be committing more crimes tonight."

"Ah!" Park Ji-won was shocked. "Harayuni's house was robbed?"

Goo Hara's house was robbed, and some news has been leaked today.

However, Park Ji-won had been attending tutoring classes at school and hadn't watched it much. Now she quickly opened her mobile phone to look at it. She looked through a lot of Goo Hara's fan groups and saw the news that Goo Hara's house was robbed.

"...and when we just arrived, we ran into this group of people committing a crime." Park Ji-won, who was frantically scrolling through messages in the group, suddenly raised her head and her eyes widened.

The screen was no longer showing Guo Xiangyan, but an aerial shot. In a yard, three people wearing masks were placing ladders on the wall at dusk and climbing over one by one.

"Oh my!" the mother next to her exclaimed, "He's really stealing! What should I do?"
