The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.
Chapter 537 Falling into a Trap
As it turned out, Li Haorong's judgment was correct.
Even Pigsy lost tens of pounds after entering the Spider Cave, let alone someone as skinny as him?
The next day, he didn't get out of the bedroom until noon, his back aching.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance back at the bedroom, feeling that this was the most terrifying place in the world!
It felt as if every second I stayed there would mean a second less of my life!
Upon entering the living room, Li Haorong casually turned on the television, and the news that immediately caught his attention:
"K Group Chairman Choi Tae-won collapsed and fell into a coma at the company yesterday. He was rushed to a subsidiary hospital and, after emergency treatment, is now out of danger!"
Upon seeing this message, Li Haorong was so surprised that he forgot his fatigue.
What's going on?
I have to say, humans are amazing creatures!
Sometimes they are incredibly resilient. They survive being struck by lightning four or five times, falling from heights of more than ten meters, and having wires inserted into their brains for over a decade!
But sometimes, humans are very fragile. A sneeze, a fall while walking, or a thorn stuck in the throat while eating can end a life.
Right now, that's exactly what happened to Choi Tae-won!
He was only upset by his daughter, but he ended up fainting and being rushed to the hospital.
Choi Tae-won, 55, is in relatively good health and has no prior medical history.
The problem is that at 55, a person's physical functions have already declined, and no matter how well you take care of yourself, it is difficult to compare with when you were young.
The once high-profile and most expensive divorce case in history took another turn when Choi Tae-won suddenly fainted.
Since Choi Tae-won is still unconscious, Roh So-young proactively told the media:
"After all, I was married to Choi Tae-won, and I didn't want to take advantage of his misfortune. I said I would go to the hospital to take care of him and was willing to wait until he recovered before discussing divorce with him!"
Regardless of Lu Suying's motives, at least her statement is correct.
After all, they were husband and wife. Even though her husband hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, Lu Suying still showed affection and loyalty.
She did not take advantage of his critical illness, thus earning a reputation as a virtuous wife and loving mother.
However, her choice broke the defenses of two types of people!
The first category is naturally Kim Hee-young!
If we're talking about who doesn't want Choi Tae-won to die right now, it's undoubtedly Kim Hee-young!
At present, Choi Tae-won and Noh So-young are not divorced, and she has no legal relationship with Choi Tae-won.
If Choi Tae-won were to pass away at this point, it would mean that Kim Hee-young, a widow and orphan, would have no one to rely on, and even the property that Choi Tae-won had previously given her would be taken back by Noh So-young.
After all, these are all marital property.
The other one is Choi Tae-won's younger brother, Choi Jae-won, and his younger sister, Choi Ki-won.
Even if she had successfully divorced, she would only have received half of Choi Tae-won's shares.
Now, if Choi Tae-won passes away without a will, all his assets will be left to his spouse and children.
His children are already in cahoots with Lu Suying, so Lu Suying will be fully qualified to act as the chairman.
This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Choi Tae-won's younger siblings.
After all, Lu Suying is an outsider. What right does she have to take over the Cui family's company?
However, Lu Suying was prepared and sent people to the hospital in advance to take over Cui Taiyuan's care, and forbade Jin Xiying, Cui Zaiyuan and others from visiting him.
In this situation, these people were even more vulnerable!
"Let us in!"
"Why are you stopping us?"
K Group also has its own invested hospitals, and Choi Tae-won was arranged to receive treatment there.
However, the corridor outside the VP ward on the top floor was unusually noisy at this time.
Choi Jae-won, vice chairman of K Group, and Choi Ki-won, chairman of K Happiness Sharing Foundation, are causing a scene at the hospital.
"Uncle, Aunt, what are you doing?"
Finally, as the noise grew louder and louder, Choi Yoon-jung finally came out of the hospital.
"Yunzhen, why won't you let us in?"
When Cui Zaiyuan saw his niece come out, he immediately questioned her.
"The doctor said my father is still in critical condition. If something happens while you're barging in like this, who can take responsibility?"
Choi Yoon-jeong countered with a question.
"Hmph, don't try to intimidate me with this. I suspect my brother is dead, and you're deliberately hiding this from me!"
"I'm getting anxious again," Cui Zaiyuan said anxiously.
"Exactly! You're the one who made my brother so angry he ended up in the hospital. What are you pretending for now?"
Choi Ki-won chimed in from the side.
Seeing the shameless faces of his uncle and aunt, Cui Yunzhen couldn't help but sigh.
She hated the scenes of families tearing each other apart over interests, but unfortunately, being in a wealthy family, it was unavoidable.
The reason they made such a fuss was mainly because K Group had a tradition of succession by younger brother after the death of an elder brother.
Choi Jong-gun, the founder of K Group, was born into a small-to-medium-sized landowning family in Gyeonggi Province and was the eldest son in the family.
In 1953, he founded Sunkyung Company, and he died of lung cancer in 1973.
After his death, his eldest son, Choi Yoon-won, was only 23 years old and dared not take over, so his uncle, Choi Jong-hyun, became the chairman.
And this Choi Jong-hyun is the biological father of Choi Tae-won and others.
To be fair, Choi Jong-hyun is quite capable. His academic qualifications are almost the highest among the original founders, having graduated from Seoul National University, with a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin and a master's degree from the University of Chicago.
It was under his leadership that K grew from a promising small company into one of the top five chaebols in the peninsula.
Perhaps it is precisely because of such a role model that Choi Jae-won and Choi Ki-won are so eager to jump around.
After all, this moment is just like that moment!
Currently, Choi Tae-won's three children, the eldest of whom, Choi Yoon-jeong, is only 25 years old.
Moreover, she is a woman. In a patriarchal environment like the peninsula, what makes her qualified to inherit the company?
As for Choi Tae-won's son, Choi In-geun, he already has diabetes and is only 20 years old, younger than their uncle Choi Yoon-won.
Therefore, the K Group should rightfully fall into his hands!
"Alright, since you want to go in, I can let you in. But I'm warning you, if anything happens to my father, you'll be fully responsible!"
Seeing the two arguing endlessly, and even at one point intending to order his men to break through the human wall formed by his bodyguards, Choi Yoon-jeong finally agreed.
Upon seeing that Cui Yunzhen had agreed, the two were overjoyed, secretly thinking:
Still so young, can't even handle this much pressure, yet you want to manage K? Dream on!
"Hmph, enough talk, lead the way!"
Choi Jae-won ignored Choi Yoon-jeong's warning and said arrogantly.
Seeing this, Choi Yoon-jeong didn't say anything more and immediately led them to the VP ward.
At this moment, the ward, like the ICU, is filled with a lot of equipment such as ventilators, electrocardiographs, and defibrillators, which makes people feel depressed just looking at it.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The ward was quiet, with only the sound of the electrocardiogram machine audible. Lu Suying sat to the side.
"Big brother!"
"You can't go in!"
Suddenly, Choi Jae-won's voice rang out, breaking the silence.
"What are you doing?"
When Lu Suying saw the brother and sister barge into the ward, she immediately shouted angrily.
"I want to see what you did to my older brother!"
Cui Zaiyuan said angrily.
"Vice President Cui, the president needs to rest now!"
At this moment, there were not only them in and out of the ward, but also several doctors and nurses.
One of the doctors spoke up to offer advice.
"Get out of my way! I want to transfer my brother to another hospital. I don't trust you!"
"No, the student council president's health is very fragile right now; she can't withstand this kind of ordeal!"
"I don't trust you guys, get out of here!"
To everyone's surprise, Choi Jae-won still refused to back down and ended up playfully fighting with the doctor.
Just as they were fooling around, the electrocardiogram machine, which had been beeping regularly, suddenly started beeping irregularly.
"Doctor, what's wrong?"
"Oh no, the patient's condition has become unstable. Let me go take a look!"
During the scuffle, the doctor struggled to speak.
Upon hearing that his older brother was in trouble, Choi Jae-won finally relaxed his grip on the doctor.
"Quickly, begin resuscitation immediately!"
After a brief examination, the doctor immediately called out to the nurse.
"Get out now!"
At this moment, Lu Suying, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
"I……"
At this moment, Choi Jae-won, who was somewhat in the wrong, wanted to say something, but was pulled out by Choi Ki-won.
As everyone left the ward and looked at the busy doctors inside, Lu Suying finally spoke again:
"It's because of your recklessness that Tae-won's life has been thrown into turmoil again. If anything happens to him, you will be murderers!"
Lu Suying's words were almost identical to what Cui Yunzhen had just said, which Cui Zaiyuan had initially dismissed.
But then I suddenly thought: Wait a minute, if my older brother really died right now, it seems like I really wouldn't be able to explain it.
Something's wrong; it seems I've fallen into a trap!
Once Cui Zaiyuan understood all this, he felt a chill in his heart and suddenly looked at Lu Suying.
However, Lu Suying and Cui Yunzhen looked at him with indifference, completely unaware of their true thoughts!
