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

"Don't."

Ding Xin waved his hand and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since you've investigated me, you should know my temperament."

"Just tell me what you have to say, and I'll consider whether or not to accept it."

After saying that, he gestured for them to proceed.

Kim Sung-hyun forced a smile, remained silent for a moment, and then let loose, saying, "To be honest, I do have a little trouble right now."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I have another partner. He is the president of Taewon Logistics Company, named Kim Taewon. I wonder if President Ding has heard of him?"

Who knows who he is?

Ding Xin shook his head.

Kim Sung-hyun composed himself and continued, "I've known him for many years. We were very close when we worked together before, and we've grown together step by step to where we are now."

But his behavior has been increasingly strange lately. Even though we're in the same business, he's been withdrawing money from the account without my knowledge.

I went to argue with him, and he actually..."

He rambled on and on, and it was less like Kim Sung-hyun was explaining something and more like he was complaining.

However, it was precisely because of his rambling that Ding Xin gradually matched him with a movie character from his memory.

A complete idiot!

It's Professor Jin from the movie "The Yellow Sea," who was killed shortly after his appearance...

The president of that logistics company, Mr. Kim, is actually a gang leader and Professor Kim's former good brother.

Think of this.

Ding Xin looked at the man in front of him with pity.

If I remember correctly, in the movie, not only did Professor Kim's good friend Kim Tae-won hire someone to kill him, but even Professor Kim's own wife wanted to hire someone to kill him.

He was surrounded by wolves, and they were all people close to him.

Thinking about it, his death was actually quite justified...

Under Ding Xin's strange gaze, Kim Sung-hyun subconsciously touched his face.

There's nothing dirty...

"President Ding, would you be willing to cooperate with me?"

Under Kim Sung-hyun's expectant gaze, Ding Xin stubbed out his cigarette.

He understood; Professor Jin had been having a tough time lately...

It was even more difficult than what happened to Wu Xiuyan back then.

At least Wu Xiuyan owned all those venues back then, so at least she had the final say.

Professor Kim is different; all his businesses are basically tied to President Kim Tae-won.

The two of them were so intertwined, each other completely.

Simply put, he's now in a dilemma.

However, if that weren't the case, why would he give himself money?

"Thirty percent!"

"what?"

Ding Xin squinted and smiled, "I said cooperation is fine, but I want 30%!"

"this..."

Kim Sung-hyun hesitated.

To be honest, 20% is already a lot, considering that he himself only owns 60% of the shares.

Another 40% belonged to Kim Tae-won.

However, thinking of Kim Tae-won's despicable face, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, 30% it is. I hope President Ding will take good care of me in the future!"

Ding Xin smiled.

He's currently worried about where to make money.

Kim Tae-won, who does he think he is?

This can be deduced from both the movie and Kim Sung-hyun's explanation.

Kim Tae-won's rise to power was thanks to Professor Kim, who is standing right in front of him.

I don't know why, but Professor Kim's career has been getting worse and worse, to the point that he's being blackmailed by Kim Tae-won.

However, Kim Sung-hyun may not be as despicable as Jung Shin thinks. At least in the movie, Kim Tae-won dared to send people to exterminate other people.

However, he dared not send his own men to attack Kim Sung-hyun.

There must be a reason for this.

Thinking of this, Ding Xin took out his cigarette case, lit one, and then offered another to Jin Chengxian: "But why did you come looking for me?"

Kim Sung-hyun carefully took the cigarette, lit it for Ding Xin, and said with a smile, "I've seen the cooperation between President Wu and you. In my opinion, your credibility and strength are guaranteed!"

Ding Xin suddenly realized.

Professor Jin is terrified of being scammed.

However, considering the future plot of "The Yellow Sea," Professor Jin is probably getting a little too excited...

Chapter 66 When there's work to be done, the secretary will handle it; when there's nothing to do...

The business is over.

The two chatted casually, but Kim Sung-hyun did most of the talking.

Ding Xin occasionally chimed in with a couple of words.

He is now recalling the plot of "The Yellow Sea".

To be honest, my memory is a bit hazy; I can only recall some general plot details.

I do have some impression of two of them.

One is Mian Zhenghe, the Bone War God who can dominate the heavens, the earth, and even the air with a giant bone.

One of them was the killer of that noob.

What did this person say?

It's like his mother opening the door for another tragic person—the tragedy has reached its end!

The killer was originally a taxi driver, a member of the lower class, whose life was relatively stable.

In order to have a better life, he borrowed a huge sum of money to send his wife to South Korea to work.

But after they left, they were never heard from again...

Besides his longing for his family, he was also burdened by debt, so he spent his days either driving a taxi or playing mahjong, hoping to turn his life around.

Unfortunately, he lost everything every day, and his situation got worse and worse.

Later, through Mian Zhenghe's introduction, he came to Seoul to work as an assassin, and inexplicably became someone that both the underworld and the legitimate world wanted to kill.

He ultimately met a tragic end at sea...

As for Professor Kim Sung-hyun, he's basically just a plot device who dies at the very beginning of the series.

...

At that moment, Wu Xiuyan pushed open the door and walked in: "I'm sorry, President Kim, I just had to take care of something."

As she spoke, she sat down next to Ding Xin and said with a smile, "What were you two talking about just now? You seemed to be having a lot of fun."

"It's nothing, I'm just genuinely happy to have met President Ding today."

Kim Sung-hyun smiled and answered sincerely.

"Hmm, is the food ready yet? I'm hungry," Ding Xin said, turning his head.

Actually, Wu Xiuyan was away for so long to give them space to talk.

"The dishes have already been served," Wu Xiuyan said with a light laugh.

Ding Xin hummed in agreement and then fell silent.

Wu Xiuyan glanced at the expressions of both parties and, seeing that there was nothing amiss, guessed that the two had basically reached an agreement.

Before Ding Xin arrived, she had already roughly figured out Jin Chengxian's purpose.

Once all the dishes have been served.

Wu Xiuyan then filled their glasses with wine, and after a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

Kim Sung-hyun may have resolved a matter on his mind, or perhaps he simply enjoys drinking, because he quickly became somewhat intoxicated.

Emboldened by the alcohol, he enthusiastically invited Ding Xin to experience his massage parlor.
