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

Just by glancing at Li Zicheng's expression, he knew that his words had not had much effect.

A thought suddenly occurred to me...

He then changed his tune again: "Sigh, actually, when you think about it carefully, let alone you, even I wanted to give those bastards from the Incheon City Police Department a good beating after seeing that video!"

There was a pause.

Kang Hyung-cheol took a deep drag on his cigarette, pondered for a moment, and continued while exhaling smoke, "The higher-ups have launched an internal investigation into the Incheon City Police Department, and they've uncovered some of the truth from back then..."

In fact...

Even after Song Jun's accidental death, his superiors did not abandon his orphan...

"It's just that due to some special reasons, I wasn't able to take care of her immediately..."

"what reason?"

Li Zicheng turned to look at him, a complex emotion brewing in his eyes. This didn't escape Jiang Hengzhe's notice. He sighed deeply, a hint of anger in his voice, and said, "Back then, because Song Junshou's identity was rather sensitive, his superiors couldn't personally intervene..."

So I entrusted the task to colleagues in other departments...

I just didn't expect...

His superiors, however, entrusted him with the work of a treacherous and cunning individual, a deeply hidden corrupt cop!

This led to that series of tragedies...

"Corrupt cops?"

Lee Ja-sung frowned, and Kang Hyung-cheol glanced at him subtly before nodding and explaining, "Yes, corrupt cop. He's currently under investigation by the Inspection Department. It's said he's connected to several gangs in Incheon..."

Hear the words.

Li Zicheng clenched his fist, his tone filled with annoyance, but he successfully shifted the focus: "Even so, if Song Junshou's superiors had done a better job, perhaps not only would Wu Huijin have been spared, but Song Junshou himself might not have been sacrificed..."

His words were a bit barbed, and there was a strong implication of veiled criticism!

But Kang Hyung-cheol, who knew his personality well, didn't care at all. He simply sighed, feigning empathy, and echoed Lee Ja-sung's words, "Yes, he could have done better back then..."

so...

This incident served as a wake-up call for me, and I learned a great deal from it...

I will absolutely not repeat his mistakes!

Upon hearing this...

Lee Ja-sung's eye twitched slightly.

Having said all that, what else could he, who was not good with words to begin with, do?

Despite having a belly full of resentment, they could only swallow it back for the time being...

He turned his gaze back to the swimming pool, staring silently at the murky water, as if some treasure were hidden within...

......

Chapter 507 I promise you

Seeing Lee Ja-sung's frustrated expression, Kang Hyung-cheol couldn't help but find it amusing.

After so many years together...

For him, manipulating Li Zicheng was incredibly easy!

In short, all you need is a mouth!

Despite his thoughts, he didn't relax at all in his words, saying firmly, "Zicheng, I can assure you that what happened to Song Junshou will never happen to you!"

"A guarantee? What guarantees do you have?"

Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows, wanting to directly ask his boss, who was all talk and no action, a question he couldn't answer directly.

But his taciturn nature made him swallow those words.

However, Jiang Hengzhe failed to discern his thoughts this time and continued speaking to himself: "Also, I have some good news for you..."

This year marks your sixth year as an undercover agent...

According to police regulations, and given your achievements, it's time for a promotion...

So before I came, I tried to negotiate with the people above me...

Starting this month...

Your salary level and high-risk allowance have been increased by one level again...

Regarding this...

Li Zicheng's heart was as still as water.

No matter how good their so-called salary and benefits are, can they be as much as he is currently receiving?

What he's thinking about now is...

When will this terrifying undercover life finally end?

Seeing that he wasn't in high spirits, Jiang Hengzhe half-jokingly tried to lighten the mood: "Hey kid, I'm two levels higher than you now..."

But I only earn half of what you do every month!

Ah, I love it...

I'm actually quite envious of you!

After saying that...

He then chuckled to himself.

Li Zicheng merely glanced at him indifferently, continuing to smoke with a blank expression.

After laughing for a while...

Perhaps he also felt that the kid next to him wasn't cooperating and things were getting a bit boring.

He then listlessly flicked off his cigarette ash and stopped.

After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Zicheng, I know that salary and benefits can't compare to your income at Kinmen Group, and you don't even care about them now..."

But at least it's clean money, and it's not a burden to hold...

Isn't it? "

This is somewhat of a roundabout way of asking questions.

The point is to remind Lee Ja-sung not to forget his roots, nor to let his current achievements blind him.

You need to understand the difference between clean and dirty.

Lee Ja-sung understood...

Or...

He had heard these words countless times!

Before...

He might remind himself to always keep his mission in mind!

But as the year goes by...

to be honest...

He was tired, and numb...

Hearing these words made me feel extremely uncomfortable!

But he couldn't show it; he simply bit his cigarette holder, nodded in agreement, and said, "I know, and I've never forgotten my duties, but Section Chief Jiang..."

There was a pause.

He then turned to look at Kang Hyung-cheol beside him and asked the same old question: "When will I finally be able to finish my undercover mission?"

"It'll be over soon, trust me!"

Jiang Hengzhe decisively gave several affirmative answers, then smoothly changed the subject: "The higher-ups have already given the order; once your mission is complete, you'll be immediately sent to the United States for two years of advanced studies..."

One reason is to let you lay low for a while...

Secondly, it's also to give you a boost...

When you come back from your two years of advanced studies in the United States, you'll immediately get a promotion and a raise!

maybe...

"I'll have to call you 'sir' then!"

The words were beautifully spoken and witty, but they were all empty promises.

Li Zicheng wasn't buying it either. He frowned and still forced the topic back on track: "Section Chief Jiang, I'm really tired!"

do you know?

I feel like a stranger lost in a fog...

The road is right beneath my feet, but I can't see its end, nor can I tell which way to go...
