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

However, after thinking for a moment, he still couldn't give up and tentatively asked, "With your current status, you don't even have access to these things? Not even a single piece of information?"

"Section Chief Jiang, you seem to be overestimating me..."

......

Chapter 289 Lee Ja-sung's Outburst

"Section Chief Jiang, you seem to be overestimating me..."

Li Zicheng said calmly.

He was already used to Kang Hyung-cheol's suspicious attitude.

As he spoke...

Li Zicheng took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Composing himself, he said calmly, "Although I hold shares in the group, there are only a handful of people who truly make the decisions. You should know that..."

My current position is awkward; I can't even get much contact with Ding Qing's business...

You should be able to analyze the materials I've submitted over the past year...

Ultimately, I'm just Zhang Shouji's deputy in business matters. He's always on guard against me. How many channels do you think I have to get information?

Section Chief Jiang, the operation of a group company and the operation of a gang are two completely different concepts; the differences are enormous...

Moreover, that huge sum of money was personally handled by Chairman Shi Dongchu. Someone might know some inside information, but that person definitely couldn't be me!

Li Zicheng spoke at length.

This heartfelt exchange left Kang Hyung-cheol somewhat speechless...

After a while.

He nodded and said, "I know it's difficult for you, but this is a great opportunity. Do your best. The better you do, the faster you can shed your 'black kid' identity and rejoin the police force..."

There was a pause.

Kang Hyung-cheol continued, "Let's leave aside the whereabouts of that huge sum of money for now. I'd like to know something else..."

Why is the Xiancheng Daily going to such lengths to whitewash the Kinmen Group this time? We've never heard you mention any connection between the Kinmen Group and the Xiancheng Daily before!

"I do know a little about that..."

Lee Ja-sung finally nodded, and under Kang Hyung-cheol's expectant gaze, slowly said, "I don't know the specifics, but it should be related to Ding Xin..."

"Ding Xin?"

Kang Hyung-cheol's eyes narrowed as he stared directly at Lee Ja-sung.

This name.

It has been mentioned in his ears quite often over the past year.

This person is extremely popular.

Despite his young age, he is very shrewd and experienced in handling affairs.

Everyone knows this kid is shady, but we just can't find any evidence...

so far...

Ding Xin has a clean record in the police file.

The few remaining pieces of negative information were all accompanied by the word "suspected"...

"Yes, it was in my previous report. Hyun Sung-bong is a piece of trash. Before the Busan incident, the Kimmun Group had already begun taking action against the South Korean News Daily, and the plan was proposed by Ding Xin. So it seems that Hyun Sung Daily is one of Ding Xin's own connections..."

Li Zicheng spoke while smoking.

"This kid is growing up fast. I heard you're quite close to him. Have you gotten any evidence of his crimes?"

Kang Hyung-cheol suddenly asked.

"No..."

Li Zicheng shook his head: "The business he was in charge of had nothing to do with me, and he never asked me for help when he was doing it..."

"That's it..."

A moment of silence.

Jiang Hengzhe then asked, "You submitted materials before saying that the Xinyi faction's bastards were making some big moves. Why didn't you report on the follow-up situation?"

"Oh, you mean that time? The entire Faith Faction probably flocked to the Philippines..."

As Li Zicheng recalled, he said, "But I don't know exactly what we went there to do, and Ding Xin didn't contact us at the time..."

"What about Ding Xin's private businesses? Underground casinos and the like, do they exist?"

Unconvinced, Kang Hyung-cheol pressed for an answer again.

"have no idea..."

Li Zicheng, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked thoughtful: "I've heard there are a few underground casinos in Daofeng District, run by one of his underlings, but I've never been there..."

Li Zicheng didn't notice.

He answered honestly, but Kang Hyung-cheol's face grew darker and darker.

next moment.

Jiang Hengzhe, his face dark, angrily said, "You don't know this, you don't know that, you don't know anything! How did you become an undercover agent? Li Zicheng, are you an undercover agent for the police or the managing director of the Jinmen Group?"

He really couldn't hold it in any longer.

The reason I called Li Zicheng over today was because I had some hopes in mind.

But now?

He knows nothing when asked, he knows absolutely nothing...

Lee Ja-sung couldn't get in touch with Seok Dong-chul and couldn't obtain any useful evidence, which he could understand...

But what about Ding Xin?

From the moment Ding Xin, that dark-skinned brat, rose to power, he maintained a close relationship with the major sects of the North.

He knew it.

Ding Xin, Ding Qing, and Li Zicheng all addressed each other as brothers in private.

It's already like this...

You're telling me there's not even a shred of evidence against Ding Xin?

What about coaxing ghosts?

Do they really think he's just a figurehead in the investigation department?

His current doubts about Li Zicheng's stance suggest that he might be wavering.

And what about Lee Ja-sung...?

Faced with Kang Hyung-cheol's sudden outburst, he was momentarily at a loss.

Kang Hyung-cheol's words were very straightforward.

It was so blunt that it was practically asking whether Lee Ja-sung had fallen into depravity!

Li Zicheng didn't need to think about it carefully to understand the meaning of his words...

That's why...

Li Zicheng felt he was wronged.

He truly had no evidence whatsoever of either Shi Dongchu or Ding Xin's crimes.

If I had to pinpoint a problem, it would only be a few flaws in the wording...

But what kind of evidence is that?

We can't let him make things up, can we?

Just then...

Suddenly, Li Zicheng recalled a sentence Ding Xin had said to him during the final moments of the civil war between the major sects of Peking University...

"Relationships are all about empathy, mutual understanding, and consideration. If one party only takes without giving in, and the other only makes unreasonable concessions, then no relationship can last..."

then...

He thought Ding Xin was referring to the relationship between men and women.

But at this moment...

Li Zicheng felt that this was referring to him and Section Chief Jiang.

How ironic this situation is!

Yes, Lee Ja-sung is an undercover agent.

But aren't undercover agents human? Don't they get tired?

Evidence! Evidence!
