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

"Yes, Executive Director!"

Wen Dongen bowed his head respectfully and responded, then glanced at Li Zhongjiu, who was still leaning on the table, before turning and walking to the corner of the office. He took out a bottle of foreign liquor from the liquor cabinet and poured half a glass.

He then returned to Ding Xin's side with the wine glass, carefully placed the half-glass in front of Li Zhongjiu, and said softly, "Executive Li, please enjoy!"

Lee Jung-gu stared with bloodshot eyes, glanced at Moon Dong-eun, and without saying a word, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

He then reached out and handed the empty wine glass to Moon Dong-eun.

This action left the secretary, Wen Dongen, completely bewildered.

She could only look at Ding Xin with a hint of helplessness, waiting for his further instructions.

Ding Xin chuckled and said, "What are you all standing there for? Go get a bottle of wine and refill Executive Director Li Zhongjiu's glass!"

"Yes, Executive Director!"

With his head down, Wen Dongen went back to the liquor cabinet, took out a whole bottle of foreign liquor, and went to Li Zhongjiu's side to fill his glass.

Li Zhongjiu remained silent.

Instead, he boldly picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

And so, one poured the wine, and the other drank it; the atmosphere was somewhat strange, yet strangely harmonious.

After five cups...

Lee Jung-gu was intoxicated and appeared to be slightly tipsy.

He loosened his collar, panting heavily, and plopped down in the chair opposite Ding Xin, but did not continue to hand the empty cup to Wen Dong'en.

"Alright, leave the wine here, you can go do your work..."

Ding Xin waved his hand, and Wen Dongen responded with a sigh of relief.

She took two steps forward, gently placed the half-empty bottle of liquor on the table, then bowed respectfully, swayed her hips, and slowly retreated.

at the moment...

Only Ding Xin and Li Zhongjiu remained in the office.

Neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere became somber once again.

Ding Xin didn't care.

They leisurely sipped their tea, slowly whiling away the time.

The main point is to be fearless.

This demonstrates an extraordinary level of self-confidence.

Regardless of Li Zhongjiu's purpose in coming today, Ding Xin had only one sentence...

Come on, let's have a one-on-one fight!

After a long time.

Li Zhongjiu finally spoke again. He was tense, his face stern, and he said seriously, "Ding Xin, I only have one question for you: were you fully aware of what happened in the hotel beforehand?"

"I'm telling you this very clearly!"

This time, Ding Xin's expression was also very serious, and he said, word by word, "The information I told you before is all the intelligence I know!"

After listening to what he said.

Li Zhongjiu remained silent, staring intently into Ding Xin's eyes as if trying to see through his thoughts.

But it's a pity.

Ding Xin has a special skill...

That is, being able to remain calm and composed even when blatantly lying.

So, after a few seconds of silence...

Li Zhongjiu ultimately failed to discern anything.

The next second, his tense face relaxed, and the violent aura around him changed, taking on a hint of sorrow.

Sighed softly.

Lee Joong-gu muttered to himself, as if talking to himself, "I really am incredibly unlucky..."

Say it.

He picked up the bottle next to him and poured himself a refill, seemingly trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

"What happened?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Ding Xin sat up straight and took the initiative to start a conversation, as he was indeed quite curious.

Although, based on the information we had received earlier and Li Zhongjiu's words just now, we could deduce that he might have suffered a bit because of the Sky Hotel incident.

But Ding Xin really couldn't guess what it was.

but...

At this point, Ding Xin also had a better understanding of the situation.

On the surface, Li Zhongjiu appeared to be there to interrogate someone, but in reality, he seemed more like someone who came to complain or vent his emotions.

I wonder what kind of suffering this kid has been going through lately...

Li Zhongjiu looked up at Ding Xin, downed his drink in one gulp, paused for a moment, and then began to tell his story...

......

Chapter 354 Subtle Changes

over time...

Ding Xin finally understood what was causing Li Zhongjiu's anger...

Or...

It wasn't anger, it was fucking frustration!

Li Zhongjiu, that simpleton...

Ding Xin said that he brought the whole thing on himself.

Who told him to be so paranoid?

Ever since that day when I received the news from Ding Xin that the Skyscraper faction was about to have an internal conflict.

Li Zhongjiu did not immediately begin making arrangements.

Instead, he remained skeptical and ordered his trusted confidants to gather information.

To be honest, Li Zhongjiu's confidant was quite a simpleton.

I don't know what they were thinking...

They actually sent a few of their underlings to stake out the Sky Hotel every day to observe the situation.

And then tragedy struck...

The movie's plot progressed too quickly, and those idiots were clearly not good people.

So much so that he was casually shot and killed by the protagonist in a movie inside a skyscraper hotel!

This is a huge problem...

South Korea is one of the countries with the strictest gun control.

Not to mention the mass casualties that occurred inside the skyscraper hotel, which were almost on par with a large-scale terrorist attack.

The police aren't just sitting idly by.

Under intense pressure from higher-ups, the information on the dead and injured inside was quickly investigated and clarified.

Most of them are Black kids from the Skyscraper faction.

A small portion of them were unfortunate customers who didn't have time to escape.

The other unlucky ones...

It's those few silly little brats from the Tiger faction.

It's just too eye-catching.

After reviewing surveillance footage, the police found that the Tiger faction members were not involved in the melee.

However, doubts about its rationality still exist.

after all...

The identities of gangsters are already sensitive, and those few idiots have been staking out the Skyscraper Hotel for several days.

This is inherently abnormal.

Then...

Li Zhongjiu was then in trouble.
