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

So, being a journalist is a high-risk profession!

"By the way, friends from the media, please don't leave yet. Our group has prepared a small gift for everyone. Please pick it up in the main dining room on the first floor..."

Welfare benefits must be provided.

If they didn't publish it, why would these media outlets praise it so much?

This is the end.

The press conference organized by the Kinmen Group has now concluded.

Whether it's the interviewer or the interviewee.

I'm very satisfied!

Of course, aside from that reporter from the South Korean newspaper, the Shinmunjom...

......

Two more days passed.

Daegu.

A fine Italian restaurant located in the city center.

The restaurant is decorated in an elegant and luxurious style, with exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls and white tablecloths covering the tables, which are filled with various tableware.

The morning sunlight streamed through the restaurant windows and onto the dining table, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

at the moment.

There was only one table of guests in the entire restaurant...

By the floor-to-ceiling window on the southeast side of the restaurant.

Lee Jung-gu was wearing an exquisite suit and a dazzling gold ring.

With an arrogant expression, he sat at the head of the table.

His underlings sat around the dining table.

He looked serious and remained silent.

In fact.

This restaurant is not open in the morning, but who could have imagined that it would run into Li Zhongjiu?

This guy.

They live a very refined life no matter where they are...

now.

Lee Jung-gu was holding a knife and fork, elegantly cutting the steak on his plate.

His movements were skillful and his posture was relaxed.

Each cut is precisely made along the grain of the steak, which looks very meticulous.

The segmentation is complete.

Li Zhongjiu gently forked a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

Savoring the freshness and delicate texture of the meat, a look of pure bliss crossed his face...

Several underlings saw this.

They exchanged a glance and then began to imitate each other, gently cutting the steaks on their plates.

Swallow the food in your mouth.

Li Zhongjiu asked, "Has Li Junshuo's whereabouts not been found yet?"

"No..."

The leader on the right stopped what he was doing and explained, "We don't know where that bastard has gone. We've wiped out a few more gangs of Busan gang scum these past two days and caught a few of their leaders, but we haven't been able to find out where he is..."

"is it?"

Li Zhongjiu's face darkened.

The knife in his hand scraped violently against the plate, making a piercing sound.

"Have you been living in comfort for too long? Can't you even handle something this simple?"

The underlings lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

They knew very well that Li Zhongjiu had always had a volatile temper.

at this time.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

Li Zhongjiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed again.

"But it doesn't matter. Since Li Junshuo likes to hide so much, let's give him a chance and let him enjoy what it's like to be hunted down..."

As he spoke, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips: "You all agree, right?"

The underlings exchanged glances.

They all chuckled and chimed in, "Yes, brother, don't worry, we'll search high and low to find him. We won't let him have a single day of peace!"

They didn't know what Li Zhongjiu was thinking.

Basically, all you need to do is cooperate and show your loyalty...

"very good."

Lee Jung-gu nodded in satisfaction, then continued enjoying his steak.

They ate very slowly and meticulously.

They don't seem to care about the passage of time.

Meanwhile, several low-ranking members of the Tiger faction waited quietly to the side...

Unsure of Li Zhongjiu's attitude, they dared not continue eating...

after awhile.

Li Zhongjiu raised his head and looked at his underlings.

He laughed and said, "Why aren't you eating? Come on, the tender beef here is especially delicious, it's all Korean beef!"

The underlings listened.

Only then did I dare to pick up my knife and fork and start eating again.

While they ate, they kept an eye on Li Zhongjiu's expression, afraid that they might have done something wrong.

Li Zhongjiu, however, did not care.

He was simply focused on eating his steak.

He ate elegantly, but also coldly, as if he were the only person in the world...

at this time.

A strange noise suddenly came from the restaurant entrance.

The underlings were very alert; they immediately put down their knives and forks, stood up, and looked warily toward the door.

Li Zhongjiu did not get up.

He merely frowned slightly, gazing at the restaurant entrance.

But the next moment.

His gaze sharpened, and he froze, somewhat stunned...

"Hey, isn't this our Executive Director Li Zhongjiu? You're having breakfast here too?"

A warm greeting followed.

Ding Xin led An Hemao and the others, walking in with a swagger through the door.

They waved to each other from about ten meters away.

He greeted her as he walked towards Li Zhongjiu...

"Xiba!"

Li Zhongjiu's cheeks twitched slightly.

to be frank.

Except during meetings.

Privately, he really didn't want to see Ding Xin.

This guy.

That's so fucking annoying.

Ding Xin walked up to Li Zhongjiu and stopped.

He looked him up and down, pointed at the steak in front of him, and teased, "Executive Li, why are you eating such greasy food so early in the morning?"
