Tang Jinyan sat alone in the private room, leaning against the chair and smoking quietly. Jung Eun-thi's angry face seemed to appear in the smoke.
"How can we be compared to each other when we're both upright and upright?"
Her face slowly changed into Song Ji-hyo's smiling face. "But I feel that I'm very clean."
Perhaps, even if Jung Eun-thi lost her virginity here, she still felt that she was clean in her heart.
"Heh …" Tang Jinyan clenched his hand slightly, and the cigarette butt began to deform. "Damn it …"
His mobile phone suddenly rang. Tang Jinyan picked it up a little irritably. "What's the matter?"
Baek Chang-soo's voice was somewhat low. "Old Five is dead."
Tang Jinyan suddenly stood up. His wine glass was knocked over, and the wine flowed down the table like bright red blood.
*****
As if they had experienced it before, this time, everyone did not rush over in a hurry like last time. There was silence.
Of course, no one knew how they slept that night.
At least, Tang Jinyan did not sleep well. In the cool breeze, the dark path spread out in all directions and was submerged in the night.
Tang Jinyan looked at the feedback from his subordinates. He frowned and was lost in thought until dawn.
The cigarette butts in the ashtray gradually piled up into a small mountain.
Early the next morning, the brothers slowly set out and gathered in the main hall of the headquarters.
Tang Jinyan covered the corpse with the white cloth again, covering the face that had died with a grievance.
He sighed and slowly stood up. His gaze slowly swept across his brothers who were standing solemnly around him. When he saw Baek Chang-soo, he nodded slightly to greet him. Baek Chang-soo also nodded back.
The atmosphere in the main hall was more solemn than the last time when Old Eight died. Li Taixiong sat in the main seat, looking a little defeated.
"Father … did the police say anything about Old Eight's death?" Li Zhiguo was the first to speak.
Li Taixiong slowly shook his head. "No."
Li Zhiguo said angrily, "These sons of b * tches, when it comes to asking for money, they're all useless!"
Tang Jinyan's expression was also very ugly.
Last time, when he found out that Old Eighth did not even have a woman, he stopped. Deep in his heart, he felt that it was probably because of Old Eighth's private affairs. However, Old Fifth was also lying here inexplicably. The nature of the matter was serious.
Baek Chang-soo's words were about to become reality.
Soon, it will be my turn, and your turn too.
"We have to work together to investigate this thoroughly. Everyone should keep their selfish motives in check," Tang Jinyan said through gritted teeth in front of his adoptive father.
No one refuted him. Everyone was aware of the seriousness of the matter.
Li Zhiguo sighed. "Ninth Brother is right.
I will start investigating this matter. Let me know if there is any progress. "
Baek Chang-soo said, "This is getting stranger and stranger.
Old Eight and Old Five have always minded their own business. Their businesses don't seem to have anything to do with each other. On the surface, they don't seem to be related at all. Then … why are they here? "
No one could answer.
It was precisely because of these inexplicable deaths that made the brothers, who originally felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, more and more terrified.
Second Brother, Park Zhengnan, suddenly said, "Sixth Brother, you have a grudge against Old Fifth, right?"
Baek Chang-soo's expression was ugly. "So what if I do?
Don't tell me it was me who did it? "
Park Zhengnan waved his hand. "That's not what I meant.
What I meant was that you have a grudge against Old Fifth. That's why you know him better than the brothers. Do you have any thoughts? "
"Old Fifth is not an East … Forget it. Death is the most important thing."
Baek Chang-soo looked at the white cloth on the ground and sighed. "You all know what he did. On the surface, he runs a tabloid that specializes in exposing celebrity news. Behind the scenes, he controls the beggars. He kidnaps children, cripples them, and forces them to beg for food. At the same time, the beggars provide his tabloid with informants.
In fact, if Old Fifth was the first to die, I think it's normal for him to be killed in revenge! "
The brothers shrugged. There was no one with excessive sympathy here. They all lowered their heads and thought about whether this matter had anything to do with Old Eighth's death.
After thinking for a while, they came to the conclusion that it was indeed not related.
So, everyone sighed again in distress.
Tang Jinyan suddenly felt a little ridiculous. These people were usually arrogant when they went out, but when they really encountered a difficult problem, it highlighted that they could only show off in front of ordinary people, but in fact, their abilities were very limited.
Tang Jinyan was the same. Although he was usually good at thinking, when faced with this kind of unsolvable problem, he was simply helpless.
This was one of the reasons why the triads were discriminated against. They were rude and violent, and only knew how to use knives. They were good at scheming, but when it came to using their brains, they were no different from pigs.
Tang Jinyan suddenly regretted that he didn't have the opportunity to study …
But then again … the resources and investigation power that the police could use were incomparable to those of the triads. Why didn't they make any progress?
The killer couldn't be some awesome international assassin, right? Were Old Eighth and Old Fifth at that level?
Tang Jinyan's heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had grasped something, but he couldn't figure it out at the moment.
Li Taixiong looked coldly at the discussion among his foster sons. After a while, he said lightly, "When you go back, use all your resources to investigate this matter. This is related to your own lives, you know what you're doing."
Everyone bowed. "Yes."
Li Taixiong said coldly, "Who wants Old Fifth's business?"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
From the fact that the two men had nothing to do with their businesses, they could basically conclude that the cause of death had nothing to do with their businesses.
They had let Old Ninth take advantage of them last time. This time, they could fight for it …
Tang Jinyan looked down and didn't say a word.
He had already taken advantage of them last time. This time, it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything.
What's more, he really didn't care about Old Fifth's business.
Li Zhiguo said, "Old Ninth took it last time …"
Tang Jinyan immediately cut him off. "I don't want it this time.
Brothers, you can split it. "
Li Zhiguo nodded in satisfaction. "Father, you can make the decision."
In his opinion, he was going to take over the family business in the future. It was natural for him to gradually give him more of the business.
Park Zhengnan's expression didn't look too good. He looked at Li Taixiong with some hope that his foster father would consider the issue of balance …
Li Taixiong took in everyone's expressions. His withered fingers tapped rhythmically on the back of the chair as he said slowly, "What do you think, Old Sixth?"
Tang Jinyan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Baek Chang-soo was stunned. He didn't seem to expect that he would have a part in it. He hurriedly said, "Father, you can make the decision."
Li Taixiong said, "Old Fifth's tabloid business created trouble for C-Jes in order to attract attention. That's why they became enemies, right?"
"Father, you're right. That's indeed the case."
"In other words, Old Fifth's business is actually closely related to you. You can take it."
Baek Chang-soo was overjoyed. "Thank you very much …"
Before he could finish, Li Zhiguo anxiously interrupted, "Father …"
Baek Chang-soo's face flushed with anger.
Li Taixiong waved his hand. "Zhiguo, take all of Old Fifth's shady business."
Li Zhiguo was stunned. He concealed his joy and bowed. "Yes."
Park Zhengnan couldn't hide his disappointment. He casually said, "Actually, my business is somewhat related to the tabloids …"
Baek Chang-soo also narrowed his eyes. Bloody hell … The boss jumped out and shouted, and he took half of the business. Now, the second son jumped out as well. Did he really want to take all of the soup?
What the hell did the business of selling flour have to do with the tabloids?
Did he want to advertise it?
Truth be told, everyone knew that the tabloids were nothing. What was truly useful was manpower. Wasn't the underworld all about who had more henchmen? It was just like how Tang Jinyan had taken over a security company. What was truly useful was Jin Yiguang and his gang, not that lousy company.
Of course, these businesses had their own uses. To Baek Chang-soo, the tabloids were indeed of some use.
Li Taixiong smiled faintly. "Oh?
The second son wants it too? "
Park Zhengnan smiled sheepishly.
Li Taixiong said indifferently, "It's settled then. You can all go back."
Park Zhengnan didn't dare to disobey, and could only bow and take his leave.
The brothers left with gloomy expressions. Park Zhengnan glanced at Baek Chang-soo who was about to get into the car. He walked over and leaned against the car door. "Old Sixth, you've been getting more and more disrespectful to your big brother lately …"
Baek Chang-soo glanced at him coldly. "You'll get bloated if you eat too much."
Park Zhengnan's eyes flashed fiercely. He raised his right hand and was about to slap down when he felt his wrist being clamped down like an iron clamp. He couldn't move.
He turned around and saw Tang Jinyan.
"Second brother, you've gone too far." Tang Jinyan let go of his hand and let it hang by his leg. He was expressionless. "It's better to be united at a time like this."
Park Zhengnan narrowed his eyes at Tang Jinyan. There was a hint of fear in his eyes. He rubbed his wrist and sneered. "Old Ninth, I know you can fight. Even all of our brothers combined can't beat you.
But it's not enough to just rely on fighting these days. "
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "Thank you for your advice, second brother."
Park Zhengnan snorted coldly and left in a huff.
Baek Chang-soo's expression was ugly. He patted Tang Jinyan on the shoulder. "Thanks."
Tang Jinyan shook his head. "Second brother's performance today is not good."
Baek Chang-soo narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "No, no, no. He's not stupid."
Tang Jinyan sighed.
When there were nine brothers, the situation was not clear. But now, there were only seven.
If this continued, there would only be five, three, or two left.
Someone was trying to fight for him …
People were always strange. They obviously knew that this was not the right time. Who knew if they would kick the bucket tomorrow, but they would still feel lucky and think that nothing would happen to them … Was this considered stupid or smart?
It was considered smart. Most people would not be able to sell wheat flour. It was not easy to deal with those Vietnamese guys.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about him."
Bai Changzhu suddenly burst into laughter. "You're actually helping me so openly. Could it be that you're really together with Zhixiao?"
Tang Jinyan smiled. "No."
"Tsk, tsk. What a pity."
Baek Chang-soo smiled. "I've always been the one going to your place. What a coincidence. Why don't you come to my company?
Zhixiao is in the company today. "
Tang Jinyan thought for a moment. Then, he called Eun-suk and asked him to drive first. Then, he got into Baek Chang-soo's car.
Baek Chang-soo sat side by side with him in the backseat. When the driver started the car, he smiled. "It seems that you're still interested in Zhixiao?"
Tang Jinyan smiled. "Don't be like that. You're the one who took a fancy to her. Why are you trying to matchmake me?"
"I just wanted to play. Do you think I'm true love?" Baek Chang-soo waved his hand. "If it's useful, I can give it to anyone, let alone you."
Tang Jinyan shrugged and did not respond.
A clean woman … the way you see yourself and the way others see you … is really different.
