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

The three workers are still in the hospital, and their daily medical expenses are a considerable sum.

Their family definitely can't afford this amount!

Therefore, their families now only face two choices...

The first option is to insist on severely punishing Zhao Taiwu, but this will not result in much compensation. In fact, if the retaliation continues, the victim may not receive a single penny.

The second option is to choose to forgive or change their testimony, thereby receiving an astronomical sum of compensation. After that, they will not only no longer have to worry about medical expenses, but can also live a comfortable life in the future.

They all have families to support, and everyone knows exactly what choices they should make. This is the helplessness most ordinary people face.

The reason why Zhao Taiwu hid his violent behavior was not because he was afraid of the severe punishment of the law. To him, they were just three peasants. If something happened, so be it. He was not afraid of anything!

What he was really afraid of was that this accident would have a negative impact on his own company, and that his chairman father would find out that he had caused trouble again.

to be honest...

He caused trouble, and that's that.

What he feared was not the severe punishment of the law, but the damage to his company's image, which would cause his chairman father to question his management skills, become disappointed in him, and disqualify him from inheriting the company.

Now that things have blown up, this problem no longer exists.

The third item is obstructing official duties and assaulting police officers.

This is a very serious crime for ordinary people, but what does it mean to the chaebol? It's just a matter of donating more money to the South Korean police system.

If you give them a few new cars, or build them a stadium, or a football field, it won't make much difference.

Finally, I'll make a small effort to win over the prosecutor handling the case and the judge of the court.

Although, under the influence of public opinion, it is unlikely that the prosecutor will recommend that Cho Tae-oh not be prosecuted, and it is also unlikely that the court will decide to acquit him.

But ultimately, whether it's prosecution or sentencing, the outcome will inevitably hover around the baseline.

What is the base line?

That's the minimum penalty standard!

Ding Xin estimated that the final result might be a sentence of 1 to 2 years imprisonment for Zhao Taiwu, but suspended for 2 to 3 years, with a ban on leaving the country during the probation period.

They will be forcibly sent to a drug rehabilitation center and detained for three months initially.

These three months were for two reasons: first, to silence public opinion, and second, to cool down the current public discourse and avoid the limelight.

Drug rehabilitation centers are no big deal for these rich kids; they can come and go as they please, and even while they're inside, they can do whatever makes them comfortable.

The public is forgetful...

If the public outcry subsides quickly, Cho Tae-oh could go home in just one or two months, as long as he keeps a low profile. If it's slow, he'll only stay for three months.

Ding Xin secretly plotted...

The preliminary work for the plan I made is underway. If everything goes smoothly, it will take at most six months to complete the preparations.

The Zhao Taiwu incident will inevitably have some impact on the development of the "Golden City" project. The originally planned start date may also be delayed. After all, Xin Jin Construction is currently in the eye of the storm, and forcibly pushing the project forward is not a good choice.

in other words...

If he's lucky, Ding Xin might be able to complete the preparatory work and dig the pit before the "Golden City" project officially starts.

If the calculations are correct, Cho Tae-oh will also regain his freedom around that time...

However, it's uncertain whether Zhao Taiwu will continue to be responsible for overseeing the "Golden City" project at Xinjin Construction...

"This makes things a bit tricky..."

Ding Xin rubbed his chin, lost in thought...

half an hour.

His brow relaxed, as if he had suddenly realized something. He chuckled softly and muttered to himself, "Heh heh, actually, it doesn't really matter whether that kid joins the project or not..."

And in a sense...

If that kid Zhao Taiwu were kicked out of the project, it might actually be more conducive to the implementation of the plan...

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Ding Xin subconsciously looked up and said, "Come in!"

next second...

Secretary Moon Dong-eun gently pushed open the office door, then bowed slightly and said, "Executive Director, I just received a notification from the Chairman's office that you need to attend an emergency meeting in the Chairman's office immediately..."

......

Chapter 570 Good thing

A big meeting is held for small matters, and a small meeting is held for big matters.

The fact that this emergency meeting was announced so urgently suggests that there must be something important to discuss.

Ding Xin nodded, stubbed out his cigarette, and stood up...

......

Inside the president's office.

When Ding Xin stepped into the small conference room, he was surprised to find that in addition to Shi Dongchu, Li Zhongjiu, and Ding Qing, there was also a middle-aged man sitting in the small conference room.

This man looked to be in his early forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He had a refined appearance, but his expression revealed a strong sense of arrogance.

I've never seen them before, they're completely unfamiliar, and they're not from the Kinmen Group!

What surprised Ding Xin even more was that this man was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to the chairman, Shi Dongchu, while Shi Dongchu was sitting to his right. The two were chatting happily and seemed to have a good relationship.

Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu sat on either side, silent but with polite smiles on their faces.

"Who is this person? Isn't this an internal group meeting? Why is there an outsider here?"

Ding Xin had some doubts.

Upon noticing Ding Xin's arrival, Shi Dongchu immediately stopped talking, waved to him, and greeted him warmly, "Special Secretary Ding is here! Please sit down, we've been waiting for you!"

"Really? Sorry I'm late..."

Ding Xin raised an eyebrow. Although he was puzzled, he did not show it on his face. He just smiled and replied, walked to Ding Qing's side, pulled out a chair and sat down.

After seeing Ding Xin sit down, Shi Dongchu smiled and introduced him, "Director Ding, this is Representative Zhao Xianxi from the National Council of the Republic of Korea. He is our distinguished guest today!"

"Councilor Zhao, nice to meet you!"

Ding Xin greeted him politely.

At the same time, it's searching through the memories in its brain...

It was definitely a very unfamiliar name; I had never heard of it before.

However, judging from Seok Dong-chul's attitude towards this person, Representative Cho Hyun-seok's status should not be low.

"Director Ding, is it? Although this is our first meeting, I've heard so much about you before, and more than once!"

Zhao Xianxi's expression was playful.

His words, like his expression, conveyed a certain arrogance.

This is a bit hard to understand!

to be honest...

It's a bit impolite to talk like that on a first meeting.

It's also very extreme.

It's either about getting close or about provoking.

Judging from this person's expression...

It didn't feel like closeness, but rather more like provocation.

Ding Xin raised an eyebrow, his mind racing for a moment, but he couldn't come up with a solution. So he simply smiled, half teasing and half probing, and asked, "What, Councilor Zhao, do you usually pay a lot of attention to me?"

However...

This time, Zhao Xianxi simply smiled meaningfully, waved his hand, and turned to look at Shi Dongchu.

Clearly, they don't want to answer this question.

"Cough cough..."

Shi Dong cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Now that everyone is here, then..."

"and many more!"

Zhao Xianxi suddenly interrupted, asking with some doubt, "Chairman Shi, is everyone here? As far as I know, your group should have another major shareholder, right?"

"You mean to talk about Executive Director Zhang Shouji, right?"

Shi Dongchu chuckled and explained, "He's currently swamped with trivial matters and doesn't participate much in the group's management anymore. Any major decisions only need to be discussed and decided by the few of us present here!"

The claim of being "burdened by trivial matters" is a classic example of blatant lying...

Just kidding!

The reality is...
