Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

Chapter 126 Swearing an Oath to the Han River

Lin Zhixun came out of the ward and stood in the corridor.

The smell of disinfectant was strong at the end of the corridor. A nurse pushed a trolley past, the wheels squeaking on the floor tiles.

He took out his phone, opened his contacts, and called Kim Bum-soo.

I answered the phone after it rang twice.

"Congratulations on the opening week box office!"

"Mr. Jin, I need to speak with you."

Kim Bum-soo sensed something was wrong with his tone and asked, "Ji-hoon, what happened?"

So Lin Zhixun briefly explained Yisheng's situation.

The sound of a lighter came from Kim Bum-soo's side, followed by a long exhale.

"Proactively covering the costs, yet claiming there was no surveillance footage—this excuse might seem conscientious to most people, but in this particular scenario—"

"I know," Lim Ji-hoon interrupted him. "Mr. Kim, I'd like to ask YG's CEO, Yang Hyun-suk, what kind of person is he?"

Kim Bum-soo took another drag of his cigarette. Instead of answering the question directly, he said, "YG is going public in November. They will do everything they can to suppress this kind of thing at this time."

This means that regardless of whether it is related to Yang Hyun-suk, they will do everything they can to suppress this matter at this crucial juncture of the IPO.

"That's perfect." Lin Zhixun switched the phone to his other hand. "The more you try to suppress it, the more flaws you'll reveal."

"Don't be impulsive." Kim Bum-soo's tone changed. "Yang Hyun-suk isn't like Choi Jong-hoon. His network of relationships is more complicated than you think."

"You don't have any evidence right now. If you act rashly, you'll only be attacked in return."

Lin Zhixun knew, of course, that at this moment, he was extremely resentful that his system had just been upgraded.

Otherwise, he would have stormed into the YG building.

Even if Yisheng's actions have nothing to do with the boss, if he is identified as a bad person, wouldn't he bear no responsibility at all?

Kim Bum-soo offered a solution: "The surveillance systems in old buildings are usually local storage, like hard drive recorders."

"Even if he deleted the internal files, it's still possible to recover them through data recovery."

"I suggest you call the police now and prevent them from destroying the surveillance USB drive containing the data."

Lin Zhixun expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for your help."

Kim Bum-soo and he had only met a few months ago, and their only interaction was at the coffee shop that day. But these past few days, he has been helping him promote his movie and turn public opinion around.

Now, she's helping him resolve Yisheng's issues as well.

Kim Bum-soo chuckled and said, "We'll be family sooner or later."

Lin Chih-hsun wore a wry smile.

I hung up the phone.

Lin Zhixun stood in the corridor, put his phone back in his pocket, turned around and walked a few steps toward the ward, then stopped.

He was reluctant to go back.

U was still crying inside, and Choi Eun-hee was comforting her. He couldn't help much even if he went back.

Lin Zhixun walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the down button.

He almost bumped into someone when the elevator doors opened.

He was dressed in a suit and tie, in his early thirties, and carrying a paper bag with the logo of a high-end fruit store printed on it.

Let's see the wealth of people one by one.

The other person spoke first: "Excuse me, which direction is Ms. Jin Yisheng's ward in, the one who was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward?"

Lin Zhixun frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"Ah, I'm from YG Entertainment's legal department."

The man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over with a professional smile. "The company heard that Ms. Jin Yisheng had an accident near our building and is very concerned about her condition, so they specially sent me to offer my condolences."

nearby.

This choice of words is really interesting.

Lin Chih-hsun did not accept the business card.

"The doctor said she can't see outsiders right now."

"Oh—is that so?" The man took the business card back, his smile remaining unchanged. "May I ask who you are?"

"Her brother."

"Oh! Miss Jin's brother? We've been trying to contact her family." Lin Zhixun looked at him and said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

The man wore a fake smile, showing no anger whatsoever despite Lin Zhixun's harsh tone.

"It's like this, the company feels very sorry for Ms. Jin's situation—"

"Sympathy for what?" Lin Zhixun tilted his head. "Does your company know how she fell?"

"We're still looking into it. There's no specific record of that day from the building."

"There is no record." Lin Zhixun repeated.

"Yes, it's a pity."

"A trainee fell from your building, and you don't even know why she was there, what she did, or who she saw?"

The man's smile remained unchanged as he adjusted his glasses.

"Mr. Lin, I understand how you feel. The company is also very anxious, which is why we offered to cover all the costs as soon as possible."

"We'll talk about the money later," Lin Zhixun interrupted him. "Right now, I just want to know who she met that day, why, and the CCTV footage."

The man's Adam's apple bobbed.

"This—I need to go back and confirm."

"Call me once you've confirmed." Lin Zhixun pulled a business card from his pocket and slapped it on the other person's chest. "Within three days."

"Furthermore, I have already reported it to the police, and I hope you can provide the actual surveillance data from that day."

"otherwise----"

If the law can't solve this, I have no choice but to resort to magic.

Without waiting for the other person's reaction, he stepped aside and entered the elevator.

Before the elevator doors closed, he saw the legal counsel still standing there, clutching the business card in his hand, looking rather unpleasant.

As soon as I stepped out of the hospital, a cold wind rushed in.

Lin Zhixun stood on the steps and took a deep breath.

There is no system.

This time, he had to use the most basic method.

He took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and found Kong Yoo's name.

The phone was answered.

"Hey, looking for me again? The box office data hasn't been updated yet." "Brother Liu, I have a question for you."

"Um?"

"Do you know anyone inside YG Entertainment? Not an artist, but a staff member."

There was a brief silence on Gong Yoo's side.

"What are you going to do?"

"I need to help a friend with something."

"————What is it?"

"A girl fell from the YG building. I want to know what happened that day."

Gong Yoo's voice changed: "I think I saw this in the group chat before—was it about that trainee who fell to his death? The internet says he was depressed."

"no."

He's depressed; it's impossible for Yisheng to be depressed.

How did you know?

"That girl is my friend."

"Please accept my condolences." Gong Yoo's voice turned somber. "But Ji-hoon, YG is a very complex place, and Yang Hyun-suk—don't underestimate him."

"Don't worry, I don't intend to underestimate anyone."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixun stood at the hospital entrance and looked up at the sky.

It's all gray and hazy, really ugly.

Lin Zhixun hailed a taxi and gave the address of the Hosung Building.

He didn't know what he could find.

Three blocks into the road, his phone lit up again.

Before Lin Zhixun could even speak, an unknown number called and the person on the other end said, "Lin Zhixun, for CJ's sake, I can offer more compensation."

"I didn't lay a hand on her, I swear on the Han River."

"The company is going public this year, which is why I've been making concessions step by step."

Lin Chih-hsun: "Where are you? I'm coming right now."
