Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

"President, so far we haven't found any evidence to prove who sent someone to poison the second young master. The eldest young master suspects you, and there's nothing unusual about Xin Yongjun's side."

The assistant who poisoned the second young master—his family is all overseas. I've investigated their bank accounts, including his own, and found no suspicious funds or large sums of money coming from them.

"No problem at all? So that person has a grudge against Li Zhiwu and wants to kill him?"

"According to the investigation, the two of them had no enmity. Li Zhiwu did scold his assistant a few times, but not to the point that the assistant would want to die with him."

"Have you checked this assistant's medical records? Does he have any serious illness?"

"His physical exam results last month showed that he is in good health."

"So, this case has become a cold case?"

"There must be some clues we haven't noticed yet, and I will urge them to investigate and get results as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's all for now. You should get some rest and take good care of your injury."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, I understand."

"Sigh!" At nine o'clock in the evening, after finishing his phone call with Kim Go-eun, Lee Chi-hyun, standing on the living room balcony, couldn't help but sigh.

He looked up at the starry sky outside, feeling very puzzled.

Two days have passed since Li Zhiwu was poisoned, and neither he nor Li Zhengxian has found any useful clues.

Why did the assistant suddenly poison Li Zhiwu? What was his motive? And why did he commit suicide after poisoning him?

What exactly did the mastermind have incriminating evidence against the assistant that drove him to suicide?

This matter has now become a cold case. If he had the time, Li Zhixuan would really like to investigate it himself. He feels that this case is very interesting, and the final result may surprise everyone.

interesting?
Yes, that's interesting. He wasn't flustered at all, not only because he hadn't arranged for anyone to poison Li Zhiwu, nor just because Li Zhengxian and his wife believed him, but also because the evidence against him was simply insufficient.

Everything that has been found so far proves that it was the assistant who wanted to kill Li Zhiwu, and there was no mastermind behind it. So why should Li Zhixuan panic?

Shouldn't the mastermind behind this be getting anxious now? Or perhaps, does he have some other tricks up his sleeve?
Follow-up move...

"Fuck me!"

Suddenly, Li Zhixuan remembered something and quickly took out his phone to call Li Zhengxian.

"Dad, Mom, my older brother, and I need to be extra careful lately. Make sure someone tastes everything you put in your mouth before you eat it. Try to stay home as much as possible, and if you must go out, make sure you take the best possible security measures."

Hearing his son's worried tone, Li Zhengxian laughed loudly and said, "My silly son, you're only just realizing it?"

"Uh...hehe~" Li Zhixuan chuckled awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I've got someone keeping an eye on Zhiwen. As for your mother and me, we haven't had a grandson yet, so we'll definitely be extra careful."

"That's good. You should get some rest."

"You need to be careful over there too."

"Yes, I understand."

On the surface, he was Li Zhiwu's assistant, but in reality, he had already been bribed by Li Zhixuan and became an undercover agent planted by Li Zhixuan next to Li Zhiwu.

Therefore, Li Zhixuan is currently the most likely mastermind behind poisoning Li Zhiwu.

In other words, if the real culprit is not Li Zhixuan, then someone is trying to frame Li Zhixuan.

But the current evidence is not enough to frame Li Zhixuan, so what will the mastermind do next?
Find an opportunity to cause an accident to happen to Li Zhiwen.

The second generation of the Li family only has three brothers. The second brother has already been poisoned and is in the ICU; his survival is uncertain. If the eldest brother also suffers an accident, who would benefit the most? It would definitely be the third brother, Li Zhixuan!

With the eldest and second eldest sons both in trouble, only the third son remains to inherit the Li Group.

If Li Zhengxian and his wife also met with an accident, leaving only Li Zhixuan alive and well, then the possibility of him being the murderer would be even higher.

When the Li Group is leaderless, the government and other financial groups will definitely take advantage of the situation.

Can Li Zhixuan handle that situation?

Li Zhixuan knew his own limitations; he knew he was probably unable to handle the situation.

But would anyone really go to such lengths to deal with Li Zhixuan?

It's not impossible.

Given Li Zhixuan's status, it would be impossible to deal with him in South Korea without resorting to some underhanded tactics.

"Ugh! This is such a headache. Which bastard did this?"

Just as he was sighing, Li Zhixuan heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Zheng Xiujing coming over in her pajamas.

Li Zhixuan was a little surprised: "Why didn't you go with your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Krystal Jung immediately rolled her eyes at the scumbag: "What? Don't you want to see me?"

"How could that be?" Li Zhixuan immediately went over, hugged her, and gave her a deep kiss to show his loyalty.

Krystal Jung calmed down and hugged Li Zhixuan with concern, saying, "I heard you sighing just now? Are you in a bad mood? Do you want me to find you a couple of girls to pick up?"

Li Zhixuan was absolutely certain that if he dared to nod, Zheng Xiujing would dare to bite him.

"With you here, why would I need to find someone else?"

As he spoke, Li Zhixuan carried Zheng Xiujing in a princess carry and sat her down on the sofa.

Krystal Jung stopped joking and leaned against Li Zhixuan's chest, saying with some heartache, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help you."

Although Li Zhixuan kept saying he was fine, in the eyes of his women, someone wanted to kill Li Zhiwu to frame him. How could this be a small matter? How could he be fine?

Furthermore, since Jung Soo-jung had just witnessed Lee Chi-hin sighing on the balcony, she mistakenly assumed he was having a headache. However, she felt guilty and distressed because she couldn't help him.

Li Zhixuan quickly comforted her, saying, "What's there to apologize for? This is beyond your ability; it's perfectly normal that you can't help me."

Jung Soo-jung nodded, then comforted Li Zhixuan, saying, "Actually, as long as your parents believe in you, what others say won't matter. Besides, your second brother isn't dead. Once he's awake, you can ask him what happened; maybe you'll find some clues."

"Well, you're right."

That's right, Li Zhixuan wasn't just giving Jung Soo-jung a perfunctory answer.

"Is this case very difficult?" Jung Soo-jung knew she couldn't help Lee Chi-heon, but she was curious.

Li Zhixuan nodded: "It is indeed tricky. It's been two days, and we haven't found a single useful clue."

Krystal Jung can't really help Li Zhixuan, but she can find ways to make him happy.

After thinking about it carefully, Krystal Jung's eyes lit up: "That's right! A new Detective Conan movie just came out recently, do you want to go see it?"

"Uh... looking for inspiration to solve cases by watching Conan?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Haha! Okay!"

Although he knew this was a pipe dream, Li Zhixuan didn't expect to find inspiration for solving the case by watching a movie; he treated it as a date with his girlfriend.

Seeing that Li Zhixuan nodded in agreement, Zheng Xiujing happily stood up: "I'll go call them."

Li Zhixuan quickly reached out and grabbed Zheng Xiujing's hand. "Too many people will attract too much attention. The two of us are enough." Zheng Xiujing was secretly delighted, but on the surface, she pretended to be a little worried and said, "If it's just me, can you be satisfied?"

"Snapped!"

Seeing Krystal Jung putting on an act, Li Zhixuan reached out and slapped her pert bottom: "Go get your down jacket."

"Okay! Wait for me."

Krystal Jung went back to her room to change her clothes and then got Li Zhixuan a down jacket.

After getting ready, Li Zhixuan drove Jung Soo-jung away from the resort villa.

Hearing the commotion, the women who had been waiting in the bedroom for their turn to be favored came out. Upon discovering that it was Jung Soo-jung and Lee Chi-hin who had gone out on a date alone, the women, filled with envy and jealousy, went back to their rooms and sulked.

Meanwhile, after Li Zhixuan drove Zheng Xiujing out, they originally planned to go to the movies. But when they passed a bustling pedestrian street, they changed their minds.

Stroll around, eat, and drink.

By the time the two had finished playing, it was almost midnight. They hadn't even seen the movie yet!
Fortunately, there was a movie theater that offered midnight screenings, so the two of them went to that theater.

It was the middle of the night, and there was no one at the entrance of the movie theater. There was only one waiter on duty inside the theater.

Seeing this, Krystal suddenly became a little timid. She clung to Lee Chi-hin's arm and whispered in his ear, "Oppa, maybe we shouldn't go?"

"why?"

"It's the middle of the night, and there are only the two of us in the screening room. Aren't you scared?"

"What are you afraid of with me here? If you're really scared, then call all the bodyguards in and let them watch with us. Of course, if you don't want to watch anymore, we can go back."

Go back? We finally got a date alone, how could we go back?

"Forget it, let's just do it together."

"Well, let's go."

Afterwards, the two bought tickets, Coke, and popcorn together, and then went into the screening room. Li Zhixuan led Zheng Xiujing directly to the corner of the last row.

After sitting down, Krystal Jung carefully examined her movie ticket: "Our seats aren't here, are they?"

"What happened?"

Krystal Jung said, "The viewing experience here isn't good."
"What respectable couple sits in the middle of the movie theater? They'd definitely sit in the corner. It's so much more convenient to kiss or something that way."

"Haha! Are you crazy?"

There were only the two of them in the screening room. If they wanted to kiss, they could just do it. Why did they have to specifically choose a corner?

Krystal Jung was amused.

After laughing, Krystal Jung reached out and gently poked Li Zhixuan's head: "And also, we're watching anime. Can you flirt in anime?"

Li Zhixuan nodded and said seriously, "As long as the feelings are there, you can flirt even when watching cats and mice."

"Fine, I give up."

Then, Krystal Jung got up and sat on Lee Chi-hin's lap, ready to watch the movie together in his arms.

Just then, another couple wearing hats and masks walked into the screening room.

Wow! Oppa, you've booked the whole place!

The girl didn't see Li Zhixuan and his boyfriend in the last row corner and assumed that she and her boyfriend were the only audience members in the movie, so she was pleasantly surprised.

"Haha! Yes, we booked the whole place."

The boy was quite happy, but just as he was pulling his girlfriend to find a secluded spot, he suddenly saw a giant sitting in the corner and was startled.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung pursed her lips tightly to keep from laughing.

Then the boy realized that it wasn't a giant, but a woman sitting on the man's lap.

"Uh...there's someone here?" The girl also saw Krystal Jung and bowed to her somewhat awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't see you earlier."

"It's okay." Krystal shook her head, then apologized, "I might have scared you just now, I'm sorry."

"No..." "Why didn't you say anything just now? Were you doing it on purpose?"

The girl was about to say it was okay when the boy next to her suddenly started yelling.

Seeing this, the girl quickly tugged at the boy's arm and whispered, "Oppa, don't be like that. We're here to watch a movie, not to scare us on purpose."

The boy glared at Li Zhixuan and his companion again before smiling and saying to the girl, "Alright, for your sake, I won't hold it against them."

"Thank you, Oppa."

The girl was quite happy with the words "for your sake." Then the boy went to find a seat. The girl bowed apologetically to Li Zhixuan and his boyfriend before quickly following him.

Regarding this, Li Zhixuan commented: "The girl is quite polite, but a bit clumsy. The guy is an idiot."

Krystal Jung turned around and asked in a low voice, puzzled, "How did you come to the conclusion that the girl is stupid?"

"She's not stupid to have found such a lousy boyfriend?"

That's absolutely right, Krystal Jung couldn't refute it, and then said, "This guy is indeed a jerk, but he's more than just a jerk."

"What do you mean?"

"Give me your phone."

Li Zhixuan took out his phone and handed it to Zheng Xiujing.

Krystal Jung also took out her phone and showed Lee Chi-hin the information about the two people she found online.

"Kim Soo-hyun? Kim Sae-ron? Two celebrities? No wonder they're wearing masks and hats like you."

“I recognized their voices as soon as they started talking, but that’s not the point.”

"So what's the key point?"
"It depends on the age!"

"Age?" Li Zhixuan took a closer look: "Holy crap!"

Kim Soo-hyun was born in 88, and it is now 2015, so he is 27 years old.

Kim Sae-ron was born in 2000 and is only 15 years old this year!
"I'm 25, and I'd be embarrassed to date an 18-year-old. He's 27, and he's dating a 15-year-old?! Is this guy a freak?"

If he wasn't afraid of scaring the pervert away, Li Zhixuan would have started cursing loudly.

Krystal Jung's expression turned cold as she asked, "Are you going to interfere?"

"He's harming minors, and nobody's doing anything about it?"

Immediately, Li Zhixuan took out his phone and started contacting people. Just then, something suddenly occurred to him, and he looked up and asked, "Xiujing, are you still in contact with Shirley?"

Why are you asking Shirley?

"Has anyone approached her to act in a movie recently? If so, tell her to absolutely not agree."
