Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 8 Commonplace Betrayal

At night, there were no lights around the dance hall, and it was pitch black. Park Junmo walked into the dance hall somewhat confused. Shi Daoheng parked his car not far away. He sat in the driver's seat wearing a baseball cap and holding a camera in his hand, ready to collect evidence.

Shortly after Park Junmo went in, Hong Xicheng led Zhang Hantu and his gang to the door. Before going in, Hong Xicheng lit a cigarette for Zhang Hantu and said, "Hantu, please."

Zhang Hantu was full of confidence. He raised his head and gestured, then took the lead in stepping into the entrance of the dance hall, followed closely by his men.

Li You deliberately stood back. Although Zhang Hantu felt that Li You's behavior was a bit strange, he didn't say much. When it was Li You's turn to go in, Hong Xicheng came over.

"Qitie agreed," he turned his head and took a look inside, "but Qitie said he wanted to see your sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

"Qitie wants to observe someone tonight. Don't make any move yet. Wait for Qitie to signal you to do so."

"Thank you." Li You patted Hong Xicheng on the shoulder and walked into the entrance corridor of the dance hall. Hong Xicheng looked around, quickly pulled down the door curtain, and then secured it with an iron chain and a big lock, for fear that someone would slip out.

The messy dance hall was filled with piled-up tables and chairs and some sealed boxes. Only one light in the middle was on. Only Park Jun-mo and Zheng Qitie were inside, at least on the surface.

On the west side of the ballroom is a staircase that leads to the corridor above, where there are single rooms lined up one after another.

Zheng Qitie deliberately sat in the middle of the entire dance hall. When he saw Zhang Hantu and others come in, he had no reaction and let Zhang Hantu be arrogant.

"Qitie--" Zhang Handu, with a long drawl, led his men in triumphantly.

"who are they?"

Park Junmo was a little surprised. He wanted to find Zheng Qitie in the name of revenge for Kwon Tae-ho. He became familiar with Zheng Qitie and the others, and with the help of Kwon Tae-ho's father to testify for him, he successfully confirmed that Kwon Seung-ho was Kwon Tae-ho's cousin. He thought that this time he was invited to join the gang, but he didn't expect there would be a surprise.

"Jang Kyung-chul killed Tae-ho," Zheng Qitie stood next to Park Jun-mo, "They are Jang Kyung-chul's people."

This is a test, Park Junmo reminded himself in his heart that in the eyes of Zheng Qitie and others, he is a guy who can do anything to avenge his brother. What he needs now is to be ruthless.

He licked his lips and clenched his fists, ready to strike at any time.

"Where is the carnival?"

In his eyes, the expressionless Zheng Qitie was just bluffing. With such a perfect plan, how could he lose?
"Big brother!" The thin-faced subordinate who was rummaging around at the bar stood up with a look of horror. Zhang Hantu looked over and the subordinate shook his head at him.

"." Zhang Hantu twisted his neck, "Hong Xicheng that guy..."

"Catch Qi Tie." He ordered with a gloomy face.

A melee was about to break out. To be precise, only Park Jun-mo was exerting force, while Zheng Qitie was dodging leisurely.

"Shit." Looking at his men who were constantly being beaten back, Zhang Hantu turned around anxiously to look for someone, "Li You!"

Li You was indeed there, but he was just standing quietly at the back. Behind him were the 19 people who had come, and they were all ready to make a move.

"No one move," Li You said without turning his head. "Any of you with a little bit of brains will find that this is a trap. Should we get out of Seoul together with this unworthy guy, or stay here with me? Don't you understand?"

"Li You!" Zhang Hantu rushed forward. The anger brought by betrayal made him not think much about whether he could hit Li You in front of him.

Due to lack of training, he swung his fist, but Li You caught it with one hand. When he pulled it back hard, Li You let go of his hand and pushed him at the same time. Zhang Hantu fell to the ground with a thump.

It happened that all the lights in the dance hall were turned on, and the doors of the single rooms on the west corridor were all opened, and the elites of Jiangnan Industry poured out. Zhang Hantu's ugly appearance was seen by all of them.

"Are you okay, Han Tu?" the fat man who was holding the fence asked him with a smile.

"Shut up!" Zhang Hantu shook off his men's hands and climbed up.

Looking around, the only exit was blocked by Li You and his men. In front were people from Jiangnan Industrial. Zhang Hantu stared at all this in a daze, looking like a little girl.

"Your name is Li You, right?" Zheng Qitie sat down on the chair again. "I have heard of you, but you have to prove your worth. What do you think?"

Li You was silent for a while, then took off his jacket, revealing the camouflage short sleeves underneath, "You guys retreat." Zhang Hantu looked at Li You who had taken off his jacket, understood what Zheng Qitie meant, and smiled grimly, "You two bastards, Zheng Qitie and Li You, who are you looking down on!"

"Kill him!"

Park Junmo took a step forward, but Zheng Qitie raised his hand to stop him, "Let him do it himself."

The thin-faced subordinate was the first to rush up, waving a chair leg broken off from a chair in his hand. Li You just leaned back a little to let the stick pass in front of his face, and then followed the gap when he swung the chair leg and hit him in the abdomen with a straight punch.

Seventy percent force.

The man with the long and thin face was hit so hard that he couldn't even hold the chair leg in his hand. He fell to his knees, holding his stomach.

Li You grabbed the chair leg and swung it at the second man's head, making a cut. The gangster rolled his eyes and fell to the right due to the force.

Then a powerful left hook hit the third man's face, and several teeth flew out from the corner of his mouth.

"Shit!" Zhang Hantu shouted hysterically, "Don't retreat, keep going!"

However, there were only four of Zhang Hantu's true confidants among these people, and three of them had already fallen. The remaining one quietly grabbed Zhang Hantu from behind his suit and said, "Brother."

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Hantu shook off his hand, picked up the chair and threw it at him, but his aim was a little off.

Li You took two steps forward, and was frightened so much that he retreated repeatedly, and his men behind him also huddled together.

Zhang Hantu spat and stared at him.

"That's enough," Zheng Qitie stood up, "Those who don't want to follow him can leave, and those who want to follow him can stay."

The first subordinate who started the fight had dyed yellow hair and a face full of acne marks. He lowered his head and walked past Zhang Hantu.

"You son of a bitch," Zhang Hantu raised his hand to pull him back, but looked at the people around him and retracted his hand, "Shit, if you want to leave, leave now, you are a bunch of cowards."

Zhang Handu really wanted to see someone stay, but the reality was not as he wished. After Huangmao took the lead, his men slipped out one by one.

After releasing the thugs who were fooled by Zhang Hantu, the people from Jiangnan Industrial came down the corridor stairs and surrounded Zhang Hantu.

"Give it to me," Park Junmo spat, took the baseball bat and swung it at Zhang Hantu, hitting him so hard that he rolled on the ground.

"Waste," he dropped the stick and kept kicking Zhang Hantu on the ground. The members of Jiangnan Industrial around him looked at him quietly, the younger brother of Quan Taihu.

"That's enough!" Zheng Qitie finally spoke and stopped Park Junmo. He squatted in front of Zhang Hantu, whose face was covered in blood, and cut a knife wound on his face according to tradition. "Do you want to leave Seoul forever, or die here?"

"West"

"Brother!" The thin and long face came back to his senses. He pulled Zhang Hantu and bowed his head to Zheng Qitie, "Let's go and never come back!"

Zheng Qitie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's call it a day."

"knock off?"

Park Junmo had a confused look in his eyes, and Zheng Qitie stuffed a stick into his hand. He also called on four of his men to lift Zhang Hantu up.

"Closing the job means breaking the loser's leg," he pointed at Zhang Hantu, "which means he can never come back. Do you want to try it?"

Park Junmo was a little overwhelmed holding the hammer.

"Let me do it," Li You took the hammer from Park Junmo's hand and smashed it cleanly on Zhang Hantu's leg who was still struggling.

After a crisp sound, Zhang Hantu's left leg was only covered with flesh and bones were broken. Li You even deliberately restrained his strength to avoid the scene being too bloody.
