The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

In the end, Ding Xin did not encounter the Yang brothers on the battlefield.

Simply because the Tiger faction was involved!

Or rather, it was Shi Dongchu, that old fox, who stepped in to mediate.

Ding Xin, of course, did not listen to him.

Who does Shi Dongchu think he is?

Now that things have come to this, Ding Xin is in a killing frenzy.

But Shi Dongchu was Shi Dongchu after all; he didn't go directly to Ding Xin, but instead went to Ding Qing.

Frankly speaking, if this continues, it could very well trigger some major actions.

The consequences would be unimaginable...

Since we've already fought enough, let's take a break and sit down to talk.

Ding Xin would still listen to a bit of what Ding Qing said.

Then Shi Dongchu found Zhang Shouji.

To be honest, Zhang Shouji had long since given up on fighting.

Putting everything else aside, the loss to their reputation alone is enormous.

In any case, the Imperial Japan faction and the Fuqing faction, united as one, failed to defeat the Xinyi faction. Isn't that shameful?

If things continue to stalemate, there are only two possible outcomes.

They either admit their weakness, or they acknowledge Ding Xinqiang's strength.

Regardless of which one.

This is not what Zhang Shouji wanted to see...

He was caught in a dilemma, and he wholeheartedly agreed to Shi Dongchu's mediation proposal.

As for the opinions of the Fuqing faction?

Nobody cares...

Chapter 104 Mediation Begins

Central District, a star-rated hotel.

Two black sedans slowly pulled up in front of the main entrance.

Ding Xin got out of the car and glanced at the building in front of him.

This hotel is where the parties agreed to hold negotiations, and it is also one of the properties under the Tiger Group's name.

A moment later, a man in a sharp suit came to greet them.

It must have been arranged by Shi Dongchu.

He bowed respectfully and said, "President Ding, President Shi is waiting for you in the conference room on the top floor. The other presidents have also arrived. Please follow me..."

Ding Xin nodded slightly.

Without saying a word, she immediately followed him inside.

Apart from the two drivers, the other three henchmen, including Ankhmao, followed closely behind him.

This mediation was proposed by Shi Dongchu, and he also arranged the location and time.

Therefore, Ding Xin did not bring many people with him this time.

This is Tiger Faction territory, and he believes Shi Dongchu can make the arrangements.

After all, if any problems arise between the negotiating parties on his turf, then Shi Dongchu, the mediator, will become a laughing stock.

...

The four factions—the North Gate Faction, the Shin-i Faction, the Imperial Japan Faction, and the Fu-ching Faction—have ceased hostilities.

Seoul suddenly became calm and peaceful.

It was as if the previous chaos had never happened...

While other gangs were completely baffled, a well-informed source revealed the inside story.

It turns out that Shi Dongchu, the big boss of the Tiger Faction, intervened.

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder.

Tiger is the undisputed overlord of the Seoul underworld.

No, to be precise, throughout South Korea, the Tiger Faction is a powerful underworld figure.

If the Tiger faction intervenes to mediate, it seems that it's only a matter of time before they shake hands and make peace.

Of course, these are just public statements.

Some astute individuals began to carefully consider what exactly was going on in this storm stirred up by the Fuqing and Xinyi factions.

It should be noted that at the beginning it was just a struggle between two factions.

This is normal; it's common for gangsters to fight over territory, and there have been signs of conflict between the two factions for some time.

The eventual fate of the Imperial Japan faction was somewhat understandable, given that it was the Faith and Righteousness faction that had instigated them.

But what happened to the major Peking University faction afterwards was somewhat puzzling...

Forget it.

The fact that no official figures intervened despite the intense fighting among the four factions is quite puzzling.

Then came Shi Dongchu.

Many people think it's normal for him to step in and mediate, because he's senior enough and has enough influence.

Is it really that simple?

The most crucial question is, why should he step in to mediate?

...

Not to mention the various opinions circulating outside.

At this moment, Ding Xin was already standing outside the conference room on the top floor of the hotel.

He waved his hand, signaling Anhemao and the others to wait outside.

He then pushed the door open and entered.

"Shh!"

Several pairs of eyes instantly focused on him.

There was resentment, curiosity, amusement, and inexplicable...

Ding Xin didn't care at all.

Seeing that no one was around Ding Qing, he swaggered over and casually pulled out a chair to sit down.

She didn't forget to give him a slight smile.

This has even stumped Ding Qing. Little brother, you've got a lot of nerve!

For such a serious occasion, arriving so late, don't you have anything to say?

However, Ding Qing is Ding Qing. He was only stunned for a moment before he immediately resumed his carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

She blinked and joked with a smile, "Don't tell me you're so late because of traffic..."

"No."

Ding Xin leaned back comfortably in his chair, stretched lazily as if no one else was around, and said, "I overslept."

"Ha, you're something else!"

Ding Qing laughed and scolded him, then gave him a thumbs up.

"..."

The two of them were having a great time chatting, but the others in the meeting room were not happy about it.

Especially the three men sitting opposite them.

His face was grim, and his fierce gaze was almost tangible.

"Cough cough..."

The silver-haired man sitting in the head seat deliberately coughed twice, interrupting their casual conversation.

Ding Qing glanced at him, then patted his head in feigned annoyance: "Oh dear, I almost forgot the important matter. Come on, let me introduce you."

He pointed to the silver-haired man and said, "This is the big boss of the Tiger Faction, President Shi Dongchu."

After saying that, he patted Ding Xin on the shoulder.

He solemnly introduced Shi Dongchu: "This is the big boss of the Faith Faction, President Ding Xin."

Shi Dongchu nodded slightly and smiled, "I've long heard that President Ding is a promising young man, and seeing him today, I can see he is indeed extraordinary."
