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

His face was gentle, his voice steady, and his words were full of sincerity, which made people feel good about him.

He's obviously a cunning old fox.

"I dare not accept such praise. President Shi is the one who should be described as gentle and refined, with a dignified and imposing presence!"

Ding Xin smiled and said, "You must enjoy reading a lot, right? If Brother Ding Qing hadn't introduced you, I would have thought you were a university professor!"

It's just saying a few nice words, isn't it?

I can do that too, it's free anyway...

"Haha, President Ding, you flatter me. I don't deserve it."

Shi Dongchu waved his hand to decline, but judging from his expression, he was clearly pleased with Ding Xin's words.

Ding Qing glanced at Ding Xin almost imperceptibly, somewhat surprised.

I didn't realize my little brother was so well-educated; he's spouting flattery one after another.

Seeing that the two of them were getting along well, the three people opposite them couldn't hold back any longer.

One of the gloomy-faced men even let out a heavy snort.

This sound reminded Shi Dongchu, and he composed himself, regaining his gentle demeanor.

Then he took the initiative to introduce other people to Ding Xin.

He first pointed to a man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a gloomy face and said, "This is Zhang Shouji, the president of the Imperial Japan Faction."

Ding Xin tilted his head slightly, remained silent, and stared directly at him.

Zhang Shouji had a deadpan face; he looked like a complete loser.

Without pausing, Shi Dongchu continued pointing to the other two, saying calmly, "These two are Yang He and Yang Jun, the leaders of the Fuqing faction."

Yang He looked to be in his late thirties, with a very robust build, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, giving him an unfriendly look.

Yang Jun was younger, around thirty years old, with long hair in a ponytail and a resentful expression.

"Two pieces of trash."

Ding Xin shrugged indifferently, a faint sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

If they hadn't been lucky, they'd be buried alive by now...

Finally, Shi Dongchu patted the shoulder of the person next to him and said with a smile, "This is my right-hand man, Li Zhongjiu."

Oh? That self-centered Lee Jung-gu?

Ding Xin straightened up slightly and looked him up and down.

He was around thirty years old, with a strong physique and sharp eyes.

To be honest, this second-in-command in the Tiger faction is much more intimidating than Zhang Shouji...

Chapter 105 Analysis of Seok Dong-chu

After Shi Dongchu finished his introduction, the meeting room became quiet again.

No one said a word.

Zhang Shouji and the other two stared at Ding Xin with grim faces.

If looks could kill, Ding Xin would probably have died countless times already.

Ding Qing swayed and shook his body, still maintaining his carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

Ding Xin lit a cigarette.

He tilted his head back, crossed his legs, and looked at the three people opposite him with a mocking expression.

Shi Dongchu was lost in thought.

He was clearly the mediator, but now he just sat quietly with a gentle smile on his face.

Li Zhongjiu, standing beside him, had a very expressive face, constantly observing Ding Xin and the others' expressions with a playful smile.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

Finally, Zhang Shouji couldn't hold back any longer.

He snorted coldly and turned his head to say, "President Shi, everyone's here. Just say what you have to say."

Shi Dongchu curled his lip.

Seeing Zhang Shouji's lack of composure, a hint of contempt rose in his heart.

He deliberately remained silent, just to observe the behavior of both sides.

To put it bluntly, negotiations also require a certain atmosphere. In situations like this, whoever speaks first loses.

He can't even understand such a simple principle; he's truly a useless person.

In comparison, Ding Xin's performance impressed him.

This calm and collected attitude is something that ordinary black kids don't possess.

That poor place, Gari Peak Cave, actually produced a remarkable person...

That's what he thought, but on the surface he maintained his gentle and composed demeanor, cleared his throat and said, "Sorry, it's my fault, I was a little distracted just now."

"Actually, the whole thing is a conflict between you two. I shouldn't have gotten involved. I didn't care if you fought to the death."

"However, there is now a problem facing us, and I don't know if you have noticed it."

Everyone present shook their heads.

Shi Dongchu took in everyone's expressions.

He straightened his expression and asked, "Why hasn't anyone from the authorities intervened yet? Have you even thought about this?"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Ding Xin, showed thoughtful expressions.

"Since the great purge in 1990, more than half of the gangs in South Korea have disappeared. President Jang Soo-ki, you should remember this, right?"

"this..."

Zhang Shouji's expression instantly turned serious.

Clearly, he lived through that era and was deeply impressed by it.

"The conflict between your parties has seriously disrupted the order of Seoul, yet the authorities have not intervened. What does this mean?"

Can you figure this out?

Shi Dongchu pressed on with increasingly sharp questions.

Cold sweat had already broken out on Zhang Shouji's forehead. Combining the questions Shi Dongchu had asked earlier, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"In my opinion, they are waiting for an opportunity. The more you make a fuss, the happier they will be."

When the people of Seoul can no longer tolerate you, is there a possibility of another large-scale cleanup operation?

Shi Dongchu didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated his deduction.

One thing leads to another, leaving no room for argument.

Ding Xin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and gave Shi Dongchu a deep look.

Amazing!

No wonder he's the man who could unite the three major factions and establish the Kinmen Group; his insight is truly extraordinary.

Shi Dongchu didn't rush to continue, but waited for a while.

After everyone came to their senses, he continued, "If what I predict is true, you will be the first to be affected."

Of course, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well; we will certainly be implicated as well.

So it's for your own good, and also for my own good.

Before things get out of control, I, Shi Dongchu of the Tiger faction, will shamelessly act as a mediator.

I hope that whatever issues you have between you will be discussed openly and honestly, instead of engaging in a stalemate where one side fights the other, allowing another to profit...

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence, it is a wake-up call!

These words not only explained his reasons for intervening, but also clarified the pros and cons for all parties involved.

Moreover, he used very humble words, placed himself in a very proper position, and did not adopt an arrogant attitude.

Even so, the domineering aura he exuded in his words was by no means diminished!

To put it another way, you could say that the conflict between you has affected me.

Just in case, I require you to stop...

We have to stop, even if we don't!

To be honest, Ding Xin had met many leaders along the way, but none of them had put him under as much pressure as Shi Dongchu...

However, Ding Xin has always been dismissive of these so-called auras of power.

He then smiled at Zhang Shouji and said, "President Zhang, don't just stand there. Tell me, what do you think of President Shi's words?"
