Jiang Minjing tragically found that Tang Jinyan, who went out at night, came back again.
It was late at night. Why did he come here in the middle of the night … Jiang Minjing pulled a long face and carefully pinched the collar of her pajamas. "What, what's the matter?"
"Is Yoon-rim asleep?"
"She went to bed early today. I don't know if she is asleep.
Shall I call her? "
"No … Don't disturb her if she is asleep.
I'll come back tomorrow. "
Tang Jinyan turned to leave. The bedroom door opened and Lee Yoon-rim poked her head out. "She's not asleep. What's the matter?"
Tang Jinyan looked at Jiang Minjing. Jiang Minjing sensibly hid in the room.
Lee Yoon-rim shook her head and smiled. She came out and sat on the sofa. "You must have something important to come here in the middle of the night."
Tang Jinyan sat down beside her and leaned on the back of the sofa. He smiled. "I encountered a problem and remembered that I have a cheat, so I came here."
Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "I've never been of any help to you. But I did make trouble for you several times."
"You were sick. I didn't dare to trouble you. I just wanted to ask you something."
Tang Jinyan explained, "I didn't know who was behind those people. I asked the police department to investigate secretly, but I didn't know. So I always had some scruples and made blind guesses.
I suddenly remembered that at least I could know which families were related to the Li Family. I have a cheat. "
"Ha … That's a cheat."
Lee Yoon-rim said with a smile, "But there are no underground forces that belong to the Li Family. If there were, I would have told you. Why would I wait for you to ask?"
"Uh?
No? "
"Because the Li Family has passed this stage."
Lee Yoon-rim thought for a while and explained, "A long time ago, we raised some good dogs to do things that were inconvenient on the surface.
Is it necessary to raise them now?
If you want someone to do something, you can put money in their face. Who wouldn't do it … Uh, except for the Nine Masters. "
"What about the previous ones?"
"We've basically absorbed it and used it for our own businesses.
Guard the house, casino security, etc.
The Li family doesn't have direct control over the outside world. Even if they do, it's through their subordinates. They're separated by many layers, and their relationship isn't close. "
"That's why Lee Jae Yong stopped so easily last time. It didn't matter even if he cut off her ear because she wasn't considered one of his people?"
"That's true."
Tang Jinyan sighed. "That's why I used to be so lowly in your family's hearts … I used to raise dogs of this breed in my early years, but now they don't like raising dogs anymore.
Something like that? "
Lee Yoon-rim nodded seriously. "And this dog's bloodline is not pure."
Tang Jinyan looked at her sadly.
Lee Yoon-rim giggled and shook his arm. "But I like it …"
"Instead of learning the good stuff, you actually like * * * * …"
"Pfft … Cough, cough, cough …"
Seeing that Lee Yoon-rim was about to go crazy, Tang Jinyan quickly changed the topic. "So now the families are actually the same as our new village. Behind them are basically politicians, not plutocrats.
Some are similar to us, working together for various interests. Some are much lower than us, and are just filial piety and asking for protection. "
"That's about the same concept." Lee Yoon-rim asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I had a moment tonight. If the Li family also wanted to control the underground forces, then why can't I cooperate with them?
I even thought about the steps. I'll ask your sister to set me up and let me meet your father. "
Lee Yoon-rim was stunned. Her thoughts paused for a moment, and she didn't know what to say.
Tang Jinyan leaned against the back of the chair and sighed. "Fortunately, I asked you first. If I went to them rashly, I'd be asking for humiliation."
Lee Yoon-rim hesitated for a long time and said uncertainly, "Actually, I think we can try. You're not that low-class now … The integration of the underground forces has huge benefits. They might be tempted …"
"Then … I'll try?"
"Mm." Lee Yoon-rim's eyes were full of hope. She whispered, "Try."
*****
"You want to meet my father?"
Li Fuzhen was very surprised to receive the call. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "I personally think that we shouldn't be too hasty. Now is not the time.
You must know that a few years ago, he was furious because you killed Zhao Wenyu. He almost killed you. "
The one who was furious was actually his illegitimate daughter who fell in love with a hooligan. Li Fuzhen didn't say it out loud, but Tang Jinyan knew.
He didn't say much. He just said, "I want to try."
Li Fuzhen pondered for a long time and finally sighed. "Father has been staying at the Three-seongdong residence recently. Come over, I'll take you to see him."
When he saw Li Jianxi, he was lying on a recliner in the room with half-closed eyes and expressionless face. It seemed as though he was about to fall asleep. He muttered to himself, "Fu is getting more and more ridiculous. He's even bringing in random people."
The old man was seventy-one years old. He looked plump, but his body had always been a little weak. He didn't look as energetic as Tang Jinyan's grandfather, Lee Tae-hyung.
As he looked at the old man lying down, Tang Jinyan thought of Lee Yoon-rim's pale lips. His heart softened slightly, and he gradually suppressed the displeasure caused by Li Jianxi's rude words. He said indifferently, "I'm here today because I want to discuss a cooperation with President Li."
Li Jianxi didn't even open his eyes. "I'll give you ten minutes."
Tang Jinyan suppressed his anger and said indifferently, "President Park doesn't seem to be so harsh when receiving guests."
Li Jianxi said slowly, as if he was talking to himself, "Being a dog of the president is also so superior."
Tang Jinyan took a deep breath. "President Park and I have a cooperative relationship. I'm not under her jurisdiction."
"I told you to make yourself comfortable."
Li Jianxi said casually, "When you reach a point where she doesn't dare to do anything to you, you can tell me that it's a cooperation. Otherwise, you're just a dog."
Tang Jinyan narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while. Suddenly, he bowed. "Thank you for your advice."
Li Jianxi opened his eyes slightly and looked at him, then closed them again. "Three minutes have passed."
"No need." Tang Jinyan smiled. "I'll leave seven more minutes for President Li to enjoy life."
After that, he turned and left without waiting for Li Jianxi's reply.
Outside the villa, Li Fuzhen stood in the garden and looked at the flowers.
When he saw him come out, he smiled. "I told you it's not the time."
He came out in just three or four minutes. Obviously, he didn't see eye to eye with him.
Li Fuzhen knew better than Tang Jinyan about his father's bad attitude toward him. He didn't expect them to be so optimistic.
Tang Jinyan shook his head and smiled. "It's worth it.
Thank you, Nana. "
"Well, I've been yelled at by you. If I don't help you with such a small matter, I won't be criticized by you."
"Haha …"
"What did you say to my father?"
"Nothing. I just saw that everyone has different perspectives and requirements. There's no basis for cooperation." Tang Jinyan said lightly, "I benefited a lot."
"It's not easy to pretend to be a gentleman when you're angry."
Li Fuzhen laughed. "But I don't want to learn from Zhang Shanyun. If you want to mess with the Li family one day, you must let me know first.
I'm considering whether to cut ties with you or avoid you. "
Tang Jinyan answered seriously, "Definitely."
While they were talking, someone who looked like a butler led a few girls in from the side door. They walked along the small path along the wall and quickly entered the villa.
Tang Jinyan happened to glance at them and asked casually, "Are those girls the servants of the residence?"
Li Fuzhen didn't have the leisure to pay attention to that. "Girls?
I didn't notice.
They're probably servants.
I say, don't be so excited when you see girls … "
"Uh, uh, it's okay. See you, Nana."
On the way home, Tang Jinyan frowned slightly, recalling the girls he caught a glimpse of just now.
Servants?
Didn't seem like it.
Tang Jinyan had been in the red-light district for many years. Li Fuzhen couldn't compare with Tang Jinyan's vision in this regard.
He could almost feel the hardships of those girls at a glance.
"We're kindred spirits, Old Man Li … So many at once. Can you do it?
With your fingers?
To show off? "
Tang Jinyan laughed and scolded for a while. His face calmed down and he muttered to himself, "It's okay to show off when you're playing with women. But if you want to show off with me … Don't die too early on a woman's belly!
Li Jianxi! "
