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

He adopted a slow and insidious approach towards the companies that Ding Xin had specially selected for him!

Specifically, it means...

As for those construction companies, Ding Qing simply sent a group of his underlings to "check in" at their construction sites every day!

Day after day, always on time!

These thugs didn't do anything too extreme; they just wandered around the construction site, picking fights, blocking entrances, stopping cars, and stuff like that...

This is a fairly common tactic used by gangsters.

It's old-fashioned, but very useful!

They tormented those construction companies to no end!

Same...

For logistics and warehousing companies, Ding Qing also sent people to create problems such as accidents involving logistics vehicles or thefts from warehouses.

The method was subtle, but it was enough to make people feel extremely annoyed.

Through this series of actions, Ding Qing had only one goal—to force the other party to submit passively.

The main idea is to slowly slice away the meat with a dull knife!

The effect is very significant...

Larger companies can hold on, but smaller ones are really struggling!

Take small logistics companies as an example...

The number of orders to begin with is not large, and they operate on a low-profit, high-volume model. One or two delays in delivery are enough to cause them to lose a large number of customers.

They couldn't hold on for more than a few days!

After receiving the news, Yin Bingxu did try to support them, but Zhu Yang and his group were not to be trifled with. With their combined efforts, Yin Bingxu simply didn't have the energy to take care of those small companies.

If there's absolutely no other way...

Those small companies that couldn't survive had no choice but to ask Ding Qing for help...

The rest is simple.

Since you, Yoon Byung-wook, took the money but didn't do the job, you can't blame them for turning their backs on you!

Compared to watching one's own company decline day by day, turning oneself in, making meritorious contributions, and paying off part of the fine is not unacceptable!

After Ding Qing finished talking about his situation, he changed the subject and talked about Li Zhongjiu.

That guy's style of doing things is the complete opposite of Ding Qing's.

There was no strategy involved; it was just pure recklessness!

For those financial and hotel companies whose shady dealings outweigh their legitimate ones, Li Zhongjiu directly sent his men to provoke them, and if they disagreed after just a few words, they would immediately start fighting.

Beating, smashing, looting...

It's simple and crude, but it's really effective!

This action infuriated Shi Dongchu!

Li Zhongjiu only remembered Ding Xin's words, "Play however you want," but completely ignored Shi Dongchu's words, "Take it easy!"

To know...

Although these financial and hotel companies are mostly involved in organized crime, they are quite different from traditional gangs.

To be more precise...

Many of them are henchmen kept by some powerful and influential "upright person"!

Those industries...

Perhaps a large portion of them are "upright people"!

However...

Li Zhongjiu, however, didn't care. He got more and more into playing and even engaged in fierce battles with several forces at the same time.

It caused quite a stir in the city.

Shi Dongchu had no choice; he had agreed to it in the first place, so he could only keep cleaning up the mess...

We'll settle the score later!

Therefore, the discussions about Li Zhongjiu in the underworld have never stopped during this period...

I just think this person is becoming increasingly domineering!

This can be seen from Lee Jung-gu's recent boastful remarks...

For example...

When negotiating with multiple parties, he would always use an arrogant and provocative tone to say, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I just want to say that everyone here is trash!"

or...

Sometimes he would abduct people to the rooftop of a high-rise building under construction, and leisurely threaten, "Today is truly a perfect day to close your eyes..."

"..."

When Ding Qing perfectly imitated Li Zhongjiu's quotes...

Ding Xin, who was drinking tea, suddenly spat out his tea...

I almost laughed myself to death!

What the fuck!

Despite having a thousand words to say, in the end, Ding Xinxin could only sum it up in one sentence: "Li Zhongjiu, that simpleton!"

The two then chatted and laughed for a while.

Ding Qing received a phone call midway through the conversation, then got up to say goodbye and left.

As the vice president of the group, he is usually quite busy with work. Today, he happened to run into Ding Xin at the stairwell and decided to chat for a bit.

After Ding Qing left...

Ding Xin, having nothing urgent to do, was too lazy to move and remained leaning back on the sofa, slowly sipping his fragrant tea.

at the same time...

He was also pondering some information he had gleaned from their conversation.

As expected...

In the midst of such a chaotic situation recently...

The man behind Lee Ja-sung, Kang Hyung-cheol, the head of the Investigation and Planning Division of the Police Agency, whose intelligence rivals that of a phoenix chick, could no longer hold back.

He's incredibly adept at taking advantage of chaos!

However, he did not cause trouble at the Xinyi Sect's territory, nor at the Beida Sect's territory, nor did he send anyone to the Di Ri Sect.

Instead, it seems like they've been locked in a fierce battle with Tiger's Entertainment Division II.

That's understandable...

Because of Yoon Byung-wook, Ding Xin was listed as a key target by the Public Security Department, so it was not up to their Planning Department to interfere.

Because of Lee Ja-sung's influence, Kang Hyung-cheol didn't need to target the North Gate faction too much.

With so many undercover agents around, they're bound to have plenty of leverage against them.

The Imperial Japan faction operates on roughly the same principle...

Ding Xin estimated that Li Zicheng had already collected enough evidence of the ugly things they had done and handed it over to Jiang Hengzhe.

Finally, there's Lee Jung-gu.

This guy has been too cocky lately, and because Shi Dongchu is protecting him from behind, he's been acting very arrogantly.

It's only natural that Kang Hyung-cheol would deliberately target him.

Perhaps it also carries a connotation of praising the weak and belittling the strong.

after all...

For the police, the higher their undercover agents climb, the easier it is to obtain classified information.

And the party that is constantly being suppressed...

This helps the organization the undercover agent belong to to improve its status, which is a common tactic...

......

Just as Ding Xin was deep in thought...

Secretary Moon Dong-eun, dressed in a white office lady uniform, led a burly man in, her beautiful legs encased in black stockings. She stopped short of him and said softly, bowing her head, "Manager-nim, Manager Ahn is here..."

"Ok?"

Ding Xin turned his head and saw that the person who came was the manager of XY Nightclub.

"Executive Director!"

Manager An bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, took two steps forward, and respectfully handed over a black hard drive...
