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

"And what about you? What do you think?"

Shi Dong asked again, but this time his tone carried a hint of mystery.

"I think..."

Li Zhongjiu lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Shi Dongchu and said, "I think this can be done..."

Somehow.

Hearing him say that, Shi Dongchu felt like his beloved cabbage, which he had raised for ten years, had been eaten by a pig.

But despite his feelings, his expression remained gentle: "Since you think it's possible, then go ahead and do it. You're now the head of two subsidiaries, the president. You don't need to ask me about everything..."

Although the voice was steady, it seemed to carry a hint of sourness that was hard to pinpoint.

"Big brother..."

Li Zhongjiu was rather simple-minded and didn't notice the awkwardness in his words at all. He just kept saying to himself, "I just wanted you to give me your opinion on whether this matter is appropriate or not..."

"According to Ding Xin, this time the target is a ministerial prosecutor. Although I think I can do it, I really don't understand the ins and outs..."

This is a habit he has developed over the years.

Li Zhongjiu has never been afraid of fighting and killing!

However, when it comes to matters involving official factional struggles and requiring careful consideration of the intricacies, it is always his boss, Shi Dongchu, who makes the decisions.

"hehe..."

Shi Dongchu smiled.

He felt a mix of emotions; this kid had really been taken advantage of!

If it were in the past...

Li Zhongjiu wouldn't say so much, nor would he say he wanted to do it first and then ask for his opinion.

Instead, they would directly ask "What should we do?", completely adhering to his will.

But now...

He, Shi Dongchu, has actually become an "advisor"...

But that's what I think.

He has that kind of vision, as the chairman.

"The ins and outs are easy to analyze. As you mentioned before, Ding Xin told you that the prosecutors had a falling out, and he was implicated..."

Let's set aside whether it's true or not that he was implicated; let's just talk about the internal strife...

Pause for a moment.

Shi Dongchu pointed to the documents spread out on the table and analyzed them carefully: "With this document, it's enough to prove that the infighting among prosecutors did indeed occur..."

I've heard that Prosecutor Park Ahn-cheol, who visited our company before, has been formally arrested...

This also means that their struggle has reached a fever pitch...

at this time...

Actually, it's the most dangerous time, but conversely, it's also the time when speculators can maximize their profits!

Risks and opportunities coexist!

The core issue now is whether we'll be used without even realizing it...

That depends on how shrewd Ding Xin is...

So, do you think he's shrewd?

"Very shrewd!"

Li Zhongjiu nodded without hesitation, his tone resolute.

Even Shi Dongchu, who was so certain of his position, was momentarily speechless, and once again felt how profound Ding Xin's influence on Li Zhongjiu was...

Slow down.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Shi Dongchu continued with a deep gaze, "Then do as you see fit, but I need to remind you of something..."

We are different now than before; the people we face are different, and we need to be more restrained in our methods...

Even though I'll cover for you...

But you can't just let yourself do whatever you want; you have to be mindful of the methods...

This was a subtle way of putting a bad word in front of you.

Li Zhongjiu, however, seemed not to have understood. After pondering the meaning behind Shi Dongchu's words for a moment, he nodded and said, "Brother, I understand!"

"..."

After Li Zhongjiu left, Shi Dongchu leaned back quietly in his chair, the gentle smile on his face gone, replaced by a furrowed brow.

In fact...

He admitted that he had always thought highly of Ding Xin.

Whether it's ability or overall perspective, Ding Xin is a person he is very satisfied with!

But from the bottom of my heart...

He had always regarded Ding Xin as a junior with no real background.

Support, appreciate...

It also implies a desire to subdue it.

But as time went on...

He gradually realized that something seemed amiss...

seemingly...

Ding Xin's personal development was progressing too fast, so fast that it gave him a feeling of losing control.

When did it start?

Perhaps it started when Ding Xin connected with the Tianxia Group...

It was clearly a connection introduced by himself, but now it seems that it has unknowingly become Ding Xin's own network!

At least...

Even Shi Dongchu himself had only met Chairman Jin Jianying a few times.

Next up was the Xiancheng Daily...

Although he had been very close to Chairman Mou Yongpei during this period, this closeness was always more about self-interest.

And what about that kid Ding Xin...?

But he had someone else's daughter completely under his control!

This natural nepotism is something I can never compare to!

And then there was that thing about speculating on real estate in America...

What no one thought was likely to succeed was actually won by Ding Xin!

Although he couldn't quite figure out exactly how much money Ding Xin had made...

But it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure!

He possesses substantial funds and maintains excellent relationships with several financial tycoons...

Ding Xin, who possesses these two qualities alone...

That already made him very wary!

And now...

Furthermore, they can directly participate in the internal struggles within the judicial system...

in other words...

It was inevitable that things would get out of control!

The issue now isn't whether he can control Ding Xin, but rather how he should treat Ding Xin in the future...

Should we continue to court them?

Or is it a precaution?

Or...

Suppression?

......

Do you think this is something the two of us should be involved in?

In the office of the head of the investigation department at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Go Chang-soo frowned and questioned Kang Hyung-cheol, who was standing in front of him.

Just as Ding Xin had predicted.

Li Zicheng promptly reported the details of the situation.
