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

That illegal fundraising case involved a large number of people, and there may have been other forces involved as well.

Given her position as the president of a small entertainment club company, she couldn't have accomplished much.

But now it's different.

With Ding Xin's support, she now has the power to command most of the thugs in the Xinyi faction, and she can also openly use the name of the Jinmen Group.

Whether it's getting things done or building connections, things have become much more convenient...

......

Two days later.

Gasoline and Zhang Yishuai respectfully entered Ding Xin's office to report the information they had gathered over the past few days...

"The Dongcheon gang was founded in 1995. Initially, it was just a small, well-known loan sharking group based in Dong-gu, Incheon. The founder was Kim Jong-min, a former boxer..."

The current leader, Choi Moo-jin, was once just the gang's top enforcer...

In 1998, Kim Jong-min, the former leader of the Dongcheon faction, mysteriously disappeared. After some internal strife, Choi Moo-jin, a top enforcer, officially rose to power...

After taking power...

Cui Wuzhen immediately promoted his two sworn brothers, Yin Dongxun and Zheng Taizhou, to second and third in command, respectively...

And led the Dongchuan faction to officially enter the contraband business...

Ding Xin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, listened to the report from the gasoline dealer while casually flipping through detailed information about the Dongchuan faction in his hand.

This includes key figures and their recent developments...

The more I look at it, the more I feel a strange sense of familiarity.

"Starting in 1999, under the leadership of Choi Moo-jin, the entire Dongcheon faction seemed to be on a fast track, expanding its influence extremely rapidly..."

In just three short years...

They subsequently monopolized the contraband trade in Jung-gu, Yeonsu-gu, Namdong-gu, and Bupyeong-gu districts of Incheon...

By 2002...

A major event occurred in the Dongchuan faction: Cui Wuzhen's sworn brother, the second-in-command Yin Dongxun, was shot and killed in front of his home...

since then...

Choi Moo-jin's style of doing things began to change; he was no longer keen on the previous model of building his own territory and selling contraband himself...

Instead, they shifted to cooperation based on mutual benefit...

They don't need their own territory; they only provide a source of contraband...

To this end, he even went so far as to cede his existing territory as a sign of sincerity in cooperating with other forces...

In this model...

By 2007, the Dongcheon faction had essentially taken over the entire Incheon contraband market...

Speaking of this...

Gasoline paused for a moment, then carefully added, "Many people believe that Choi Moo-jin's change most likely stemmed from Yoon Dong-hoon's unexpected death, but strangely..."

It seems Choi Moo-jin has no intention of avenging Yoon Dong-hoon...

To this day, who killed Yoon Dong-hoon, and why, remains completely unknown...

"Hehe, what's so strange about that?"

Ding Xin pointed to Yoon Dong-hoon's photo in the file and sneered, "Just look at his pathetic state, you can tell it was basically a dog-eat-dog fight, and he got taken down by Choi Moo-jin himself..."

The voice just fell.

Gasoline, with a look of sudden realization, loudly flattered, "I see! Brother is wise!"

"Forehead..."

Ding Xin was taken aback by his actions.

Then, a moment later, he realized something, glanced at the gasoline with a half-smile, and didn't expose it.

This guy's hair is getting slicker and greasy.

With his quick wit, how could he not figure out the reason?

This is the typical workplace routine!

but...

That shows thoughtfulness!

And gasoline...

Of course, he also knew that Ding Xin had seen through his little scheme.

But so what?

Why did he have to report it in person again when there was already a written document?

It's all just to make themselves known!

In the workplace...

If you want to improve, you have to learn how to perform!

How should it be performed?

The most useful thing is flattery!

Take photos whenever you have the chance, and create opportunities to take photos even if you don't have them!

Whether it's intentional or not, whether it's awkward or not, as long as you take the picture, there will definitely be benefits!

After the little episode.

Gasoline continued to give a serious report, and Ding Xin would occasionally ask a question.

Relatively speaking...

The previous reports seemed to be just a prelude to the gasoline company's attempt to curry favor; the real focus is what's coming up next.

The most profitable industry for the Dongchuan faction is undoubtedly contraband.

On the surface, they also have two legitimate operating companies.

One of them is a large hotel casino called Liber, located in Dong-gu, Incheon.

It's obvious without even thinking that a legitimate casino located in that godforsaken place in the East District can't possibly make any money.

Its primary use is specifically for laundering contraband and illicit money.

There is no doubt about this!

Another company, which is nominally engaged in the shipping business, is called Advanced Shipping Company. It owns several transport ships, all of which are docked at the North Port K area of ​​Incheon Port.

Unfortunately, it has been under maintenance for a long time and is hardly ever used.

so...

It's most likely just a front, basically used to launder huge sums of money.

in addition...

Over a period of three days, the gasoline team identified three locations that appeared to be Dongchuan-style flour mills.

The first location is a vegetable shed area near the north shore of Yongzong Island;

The second location is in a small village in the southern part of the eastern district;

The third location is the cargo ship berthing area in K district of Incheon Port North Port.

at present...

What he can confirm about the gasoline is that all three locations are suspicious, but he still cannot pinpoint the exact locations.

Ding Xin could understand.

after all...

The flour milling dens are usually hidden very deep, so it's already quite difficult to pinpoint a general area within three days.

After the gasoline report was finished, it was Zhang Yishuai's turn.

He seems to have spent the last few days at drinking parties, and he still looks slightly tipsy.

And this hard work is indeed worthwhile.

Choi Moo-jin had planned things very meticulously back then, but everything that is done will always leave a trace.

At the beginning...

Zhang Yishuai indeed couldn't find out anything; he walked around with the photo but no one had seen the mother and child.

But he overheard a piece of news.

It is said that five years ago, a small-time smuggler in Gwangju mysteriously disappeared after taking on a job.

Several of his subordinates have also disappeared without a trace.

This is clearly a cover-up!
