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

"Councilor Zhao?"

Shi Dongchu paused slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Chairman Mou, which Councilor Zhao are you referring to?"

Although he looked completely puzzled.

Ding Xin clearly sensed that Shi Dongchu's expression had been somewhat unnatural.

That's a bit interesting.

"Councilor Zhao Taibian, Chairman Shi, don't tell me you don't know him?"

Mu Yongpei said with a strange look in his eyes.

Zhao Taibian?

Ding Xin, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but prick up his ears.

He had heard of this name before.

To put it more simply...

During this period, the names of Zhao Taibian and several others were constantly around us.

Talk about it.

This person does bear a striking resemblance to Shi Dongchu.

It is the end of 2007.

A grand presidential election is taking place throughout South Korea.

During the election campaign.

The campaigning competition among the candidates is extremely fierce and has now reached a stalemate.

The television was filled with news reports about them.

They frequently appear in television commercials and campaign rallies, promoting their policy proposals and vision to voters...

And this Zhao Taibian is a member of parliament.

He is one of the most favored candidates.

This person is a member of the National Assembly and the chairman of the South Korean Republic Party, a true political giant.

He was known for his "uprightness and integrity, and his incorruptibility".

With his extensive political experience and wide network of contacts, he won the support of a large number of voters in the early stages of the campaign.

However, some people are not optimistic about him.

This is not the first time Zhao Taibian has run for office.

He's been a runner-up for three consecutive years...

Many people believe that...

This year's results are also quite precarious for him.

There are actually two other very strong candidates.

They were watching intently from the sidelines.

One of them is Lee Baek-myung, a member of the Grand National Party of South Korea and currently serving as the mayor of Seoul.

This person is pursuing an elite path.

They have close ties with several South Korean conglomerates.

Before entering politics, Representative Lee also served as the managing director of a top chaebol group.

He has nearly thirty years of business experience.

His campaign slogan was economic development and social stability, promoting South Korea's economic prosperity and sustainable development...

Moreover, during his tenure as mayor of Seoul.

This Representative Lee has indeed achieved many tangible political accomplishments.

So, among the three candidates...

His popularity is the highest!

As for the last one of the three, she is a female councilor surnamed Park.

She was born into the Saenuri Party of South Korea, and her full name is Park Hye-kyung.

She is considered a conservative politician, and she emphasizes the need to safeguard South Korea's traditional values ​​and national security.

This claim.

It gained support from some older voters and conservatives.

If that's all there is to it...

She doesn't have any advantages whatsoever.

However, this person's background is not simple; her father was once a very famous president in South Korean history.

This gave her some natural political resources.

These three lawmakers.

They are all strong candidates for the South Korean presidency.

However, compared to the latter two candidates, Councilor Zhao Taibian seems to lack distinctive features and is not particularly outstanding.

of course.

Ding Xin wasn't particularly concerned about this.

His current level.

To be honest, neither their status nor their background really qualifies them...

"Haha, of course I know him. I've seen this Councilor Zhao in the news quite a bit lately. However, whether he knows who I am is another matter..."

Shi Dongchu laughed heartily.

His words implied that he had no connection with this Councilor Zhao.

"Really? Maybe I was wrong..."

Mu Yongpei saw that he refused to admit it.

He also stopped the topic at the right time, though his expression was somewhat ambiguous.

Obviously.

He was not entirely satisfied with Shi Dongchu's answer, but he did not press the matter further.

He simply picked up his glass and took a sip.

They understand the principle of knowing when to stop.

Shi Dongchu could certainly see his dissatisfaction, probably due to the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

After a few seconds of contemplation.

Shi Dongchu still asked cautiously, "Chairman Mou, why did you suddenly bring up Councilor Zhao?"

"nothing..."

Mu Yongpei put down his wine glass.

He frankly said, "With the general election just around the corner, Councilor Zhao is one of the top candidates. I thought that since you, Chairman Shi, are familiar with him, I would just ask casually and maybe I could get some inside information from you?"

There was a pause.

He then added, "As you know, Chairman Shi, we media professionals are always inclined to gather novel and interesting information. Please forgive any offense caused..."

really interesting.

Ding Xin looked at the two people who were talking.

Thoughtful.

He believed that someone of Mu Yongpei's caliber was unlikely to make baseless accusations.

Since Mu Yongpei mentioned it.

There must be some direct evidence that proves Shi Dongchu is related to that Congressman Zhao Taibian.

What a surprise.

Ding Xin had always suspected Shi Dongchu's background.

I don't think this person is just a simple black kid.

However, Shi Dongchu had kept his identity well hidden, and Ding Xin had never discovered who was behind him...

But right now.

However, a topic that Mu Yongpei seemingly brought up unintentionally exposed a loophole.

Think about the composure with which Seok Dong-chul conducts himself.

Looking back, the Kinmen Group has developed very smoothly since its inception.
