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

This was an utterly undeserved disaster for him, a complete injustice!

What does the infighting within the Skyscraper faction have to do with Li Zhongjiu?

In all honesty, although he did have ideas about SkyPiercing's businesses, he hadn't actually started implementing them yet!

Right now, they've only sent a few people to gather information.

Moreover...

This time, several of their underlings were also caught in the crossfire and died in the Tiger faction!

They're victims too, aren't they?

However...

Police said, "We won't listen, you're just talking nonsense!"

These past few days, Li Zhongjiu has been summoned to the police station for questioning every day because of this matter.

Fortunately, thanks to the various measures and actions taken after the group was established.

Several major shareholders, including Ding Xin, have essentially cleaned up their identities.

in other words...

All of them have already gained a certain positive influence in society.

Therefore, the police cannot go too far.

Therefore, although Li Zhongjiu was summoned daily to cooperate with the investigation, his personal freedom was not restricted.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that...

The person in charge of this case is none other than Chief Kang Hyung-cheol, the head of the Investigation and Planning Division of the National Police Agency.

This guy has some tricks up his sleeve.

In order to force Li Zhongjiu to comply, or in other words, to falsely accuse him.

Jiang Hengzhe not only detained Li Zhongjiu's confidant under the pretext of handling the case specially and being a major suspect, but also did so directly.

They also kept sending police officers to conduct surprise inspections of Kinmen Hotel's properties.

This put Lee Jung-gu in a very passive position!

In fact...

For Li Zhongjiu, the death of a few people or the arrest of his confidants were not big deals.

The one who had the biggest impact on him...

The issue remains the same: the Kinmen Hotel has been unable to operate normally during this period.

To know...

The Kinmen Hotel is not just a place to eat and sleep.

Its main revenue comes from legally registered casinos and the turnover of those casinos...

Um...

To be more precise, it refers to VIP rooms and money laundering within legally licensed casinos...

How can a business like this operate if it's constantly being investigated?

Losing hundreds of millions every day you wake up, who can afford that?

the most important is...

The police's position is still quite solid.

after all...

Those few dead underlings of the Tiger faction were all employees registered under the name of the Kinmen Hotel.

It's true that we can't get rid of the connection for the time being.

This way.

How could Li Zhongjiu not feel aggrieved?

He has never suffered such a great loss in his life!

"So what's the situation now?"

Ding Xin took out his cigarette case, lit one, and tossed one to Li Zhongjiu.

After hearing Li Zhongjiu's story.

Ding Xin also felt a little embarrassed; it seemed he had indeed really messed things up for this kid...

This was one of the reasons he didn't want to participate in the storyline at the time.

certainly...

If it's Ding Xin...

They wouldn't be so reckless as to send a few underlings to wander around the skyscraper hotel aimlessly...

Li Zhongjiu reached out and took it.

He took out a lighter, lit it, took a deep drag, and said with a hint of melancholy, "Chairman Dai... said he'd handle it, but I'll have to pay for everything..."

Poor kid...

Ding Xin silently mourned for him for a few seconds, then comforted him with a sense of agreement, "Since Chairman Shi has stepped in, there shouldn't be any problem. Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems..."

It's not a big deal.

But heavy bleeding is definitely inevitable...

but...

The problem isn't really that big.

The so-called evidence presented by the police is completely untenable.

It's just disgusting people now.

after all...

Tiger Faction has absolutely no involvement in the Sky Hotel incident.

This cannot be faked...

There was a pause.

Ding Xin raised an eyebrow, then changed the subject, asking with a hint of curiosity, "Now that you've lost the initiative, are you still planning to acquire those properties of the Sky Tower Sect?"

"Of course we have to bring it over!"

Li Zhongjiu suddenly raised his voice, narrowing his eyes, and said, "My losses have already been huge, I definitely need to make up for them, and besides, we don't even know when the company will be able to resume normal operations..."

Speaking of this...

Li Zhongjiu's face darkened again, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes: "Damn it, that bastard Jiang Hengzhe, I'll teach him a lesson one day!"

"hehe..."

Ding Xin chuckled, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

He gave Li Zhongjiu a look that said, "I have high hopes for you," letting him figure it out for himself.

Then again.

Actually, Ding Xin was quite pleased that Li Zhongjiu had come to him today with resentment in his heart.

in other words...

Given Li Zhongjiu's personality, the fact that he could do this already speaks volumes.

Sometimes...

The other party's questioning and rebuke are not necessarily signs of alienation and disgust.

It could also represent a certain degree of intimacy.

At least...

After realizing he might be being scammed...

The first choice was to confront Ding Xin face-to-face, rather than resorting to underhanded tactics behind his back.

Think about how Lee Joong-gu treated Jung-cheong in the movie "New World"?

They didn't even give us a chance to communicate!

It's all about doing things my own way!

Think of this...

Ding Xin's smile widened even further.

Look!

This is what is called subtle influence!

Li Zhongjiu had no idea what Ding Xin was thinking at that moment.
