The president's office had been turned upside down. A large pile of things related to the company's business had been found, but there was no trace of the baldy or the thing that Tang Jinyan valued the most.
Tang Jinyan had also sent people to Eighth Brother's house. Eighth Brother did not have a family, so it was convenient for them to work. Unfortunately, after three days and three feet of digging, they still could not find anything.
"Eun-suk, what's the progress?"
"It's amazing, Brother Nine … Eighth Brother doesn't have a single woman outside. We've asked around a few times, but we didn't hear anything. We only said that Eighth Brother is in the mood to visit prostitutes."
"…" Tang Jinyan was a little incredulous.
The nine brothers were generally not young. The eldest brother was in his forties, he was twenty-six this year, and Eighth Brother was almost thirty. It was reasonable that he did not have a family, but this guy who was in the mafia did not even have a woman outside. This was simply a fairy tale … Even Tang Jinyan himself had a few friends with benefits.
Could it be that he did not notice that Eighth Brother was actually gay?
Tang Jinyan narrowed his eyes. He keenly felt that this abnormality might be the real cause of Eighth Brother's death.
"Eun-suk, withdraw. This matter cannot be touched again."
"Yes."
Tang Jinyan thought quietly for a few seconds, then drove straight to Li Taixiong's villa.
After listening to Tang Jinyan's report, Li Taixiong was silent. He looked at him for a few seconds, then sighed softly. "Jinyan, you're very thoughtful."
"It's what I should do."
"I also know that you can't spend too much time on this matter. It's enough to surprise me that you can go this far. Although it's just a side product, it's better than doing nothing." Li Taixiong said lightly, "As for the thing you've been looking for these days …"
Tang Jinyan was stunned.
Instead, he saw the old man smile slightly. "It was in my hands when the incident happened."
Seeing the old man take out a small notebook and play with it, Tang Jinyan did not have the strength to complain. He could only remain silent.
As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. The old man was just waiting for him to find out about some of the supplementary products … However, he had misunderstood the baldy. He really didn't find anything and was beaten up for nothing.
"But Jin Yan …" The old man sighed. "I don't recommend you to take over the smuggling business."
"… Foster father, please give me some pointers."
"You look more barbaric than anyone else, but you actually have an exquisite heart.
If you are given the right platform, you will be able to do very well. "Li Taixiong said indifferently," You really … want to go all the way down the underworld? "
Tang Jinyan continued to remain silent.
It was true that one had no choice in the martial arts world. If you didn't cause trouble, trouble would come looking for you. Was it really that easy to clear one's name?
Throughout history, there were countless facts that proved that people who washed their hands in a gold basin usually ended up with their entire family dead. There were few exceptions.
None of the successful whitewashers were able to escape from the shadows of darkness.
Li Taixiong tossed the book over and Tang Jinyan caught it.
However, Li Taixiong said, "I'll give it to you. As for whether you want to use it or not, that's up to you."
*****
When Tang Jinyan returned home, he did not turn on the lights.
He sat by the window and leaned against it. The book in his hand was tossed up and down repeatedly.
The neon lights outside the window flickered. The night lights flickered and swept across his face, illuminating his uncertain expression.
He knew the old man's meaning.
Fighting, prostitution, and gambling, to put it bluntly, could only be considered small matters. Selling a few second-hand ecstasy pills in a nightclub might sound scary, but in fact, it was not a big deal.
Even if there were lives at hand, as long as someone took the blame, it would not be a big deal.
However, smuggling did not sound like a big deal, but in fact, it was snatching food from the country. It was fundamentally different from those things. It was truly moving towards the deepest part of the underworld.
However, such a good opportunity was given to him by a legitimate security company … No matter how he looked at it, it was a pain in the ass.
Speaking of which, he was now running a hotel. There were nightclubs and casinos below the hotel. Suddenly, a security company came. Could it be considered a cross-border corporation?
Tang Jinyan laughed self-deprecatingly. After all, Qingliang was not the JN area.
It seemed that the big boss was awe-inspiring, but in fact, it was only in terms of military strength. In terms of economy, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. How could it be considered a corporation …
For some reason, he suddenly thought of that young lady — Tang Jinyan had learned a little about her in the past two days. It turned out that her group Apink was an idol. Strictly speaking, there was still a gap between them and a real "singer". Even the so-called Apink was a newcomer who had just debuted a year ago. In the female group world, there was a majestic mountain range called Girls' Generation lying in front of them. It was estimated that they would not be able to surpass it in their lifetime. How could they have the nerve to call themselves a singer …
It seemed that they were all on the same level.
Tang Jinyan looked at the time on the calendar and suddenly laughed.
He wondered what kind of expression this girl would have when she saw him during the commercial performance.
Tang Jinyan stood up and stretched. He casually stuffed the book into the cabinet.
There was no need to think so much. When it was time to use it, he would use it. If not, he would just let it lie there forever.
*****
Samsung's press conference this time was not about any major product. The long-awaited Galaxy 3 had yet to be launched, so the level of the press conference was very ordinary.
The so-called invited guest performances were not actually to liven up the atmosphere during the press conference as Tang Jinyan had imagined. Instead, it was to be held directly at the entrance of the Lotte Commercial Building across the street after the official press conference. Only then would the guests perform live.
In other words, their security company was actually responsible for security at the plaza, not the press conference.
Tang Jinyan did not know what level of performance this kind of performance was. In theory, the performance at the plaza should not be of much quality. However, Koreans would not feel that anything that involved the word "Samsung" was not of a low level.
In fact, anyone who was qualified to be invited by Samsung to perform could hold their heads high and call themselves popular idols.
If you could be an ambassador, you would be a superstar …
The Samsung advertising company manager who had arrived at the plaza ahead of time was a little puzzled. "This is …"
Jin Yiguang hurriedly introduced, "This is our President Tang. The previous President Kim has already transferred …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the Samsung manager. "I signed the contract with President Kim!
Not with President Tang! "
"But the first party of the contract is the Kim Security Company, and I am the president." Tang Jinyan took over the conversation and waved at Jin Yiguang. He took out a pack of Marlboros and tried to smoke it.
The Samsung manager took it, but his expression was still not good.
Tang Jinyan lit one for him and one for himself. He smiled and said, "There's not much difference between President Kim and me. This is because the security company relies on this group of brothers and not themselves. They have a lot of experience."
The Samsung manager nodded. He felt that this explanation was more reliable, unlike the other young people who patted their chests and guaranteed their standards.
Anyway, it was impossible to change companies at this time. He could only hand over a business card and said, "My surname is Park. I hope to have a good cooperation with President Tang this time."
Tang Jinyan replied with a business card that he had just made. "I believe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Manager Park left. Jin Yiguang looked at Tang Jinyan with a surprised expression.
He had always heard that the Ninth Masters were boorish and short-tempered, but this style, he was more like a businessman than the Eighth Master …
Tang Jinyan patted him on the shoulder. "What should we do?
It's up to you. "
Jin Yiguang pointed in the direction of Manager Park. He was instructing the staff to set up the stage and set up the sound system. "Our security has to cooperate with the stage construction. We also have to do the security for the product exhibition. We have to wait for them to finish. It's useless to blindly do it now."
"Different professions are worlds apart …" Tang Jinyan sighed slightly.
He smacked his lips as he watched Jin Yiguang call his brothers to squeeze over to check the stage.
He didn't understand the previous draft of the security work. In his heart, he always thought that the so-called security was just a human wall. If someone crossed the line, they would squeeze back. He didn't know there were so many other things …
That's why the underworld is still better … It depends on whether your fist is big or not … Tang Jinyan thought faintly as he blew out smoke rings.
Just then, a commercial car drove over and abruptly stopped at the side of the plaza.
Tang Jinyan didn't move. This kind of thing would be handled by the mall's security guards. Who the hell would park the car like this? What's the use of the parking lot over there?
Unexpectedly, the security guard went over and said a few words. Then, he turned around awkwardly and walked directly to Tang Jinyan.
"Are you … from the Jin Group Security Company?"
Tang Jinyan frowned. "What's the matter?"
"The guest performers from Samsung are in the car this time. They came early. I'm afraid there will be trouble if they get out of the car in public."
F * ck you … I'm still a rookie. Do you have to deliberately make things difficult for me?
Tang Jinyan walked over with a toothache and cursed at the car window in an unfriendly tone, "I wouldn't have paid you a cent more if you came an hour earlier. Do you have to go so far?"
The driver was a little embarrassed.
Their group was a newcomer who had just debuted a year ago. If it weren't for the fact that their new songs won first place not long ago, they wouldn't have been invited by Samsung to perform. Therefore, the girls were very excited and urged them to come early.
But when they arrived, they realized that there was a gap between reality and imagination … Even the temporary backstage hadn't been set up yet. If they got out of the car and were seen by the fans, there would really be trouble …
In the end, they were too impatient. After being scolded by Tang Jinyan, they didn't know how to respond. They could only smile apologetically and say, "This … cough, since things have come to this, we have to think of a way …"
Tang Jinyan rolled his eyes. "What's there to think about?
Just drive to the side of the stage and wait. When the backstage is set up, just hide inside. What's wrong with staying in the car for a few more minutes? "
The driver smiled bitterly. "You don't know …" He almost said that Tucson was broken. Do you really think the fans can't recognize the car?
Before he finished speaking, a young boy's voice was heard shouting, "Ah!
That's Apink's car! "
The driver smashed his head on the steering wheel. It was over.
Apink？
Tang Jinyan blinked his eyes with great interest. He tilted his head and looked through the driver's lowered window. He could vaguely see a group of young girls, but he couldn't see clearly.
The young boy rushed in front of him and shouted excitedly, "Captain Long …"
Before he could finish shouting, Tang Jinyan stretched out his big hand and lifted him into the air. He said without looking back, "Drive to the back of the stage first. It's good to have a place to hide. Tell them to set up the backstage first."
The driver looked hesitantly at the young boy who was struggling in the air. "Then he …"
Tang Jinyan finally turned to look at the young boy. He casually threw him on the ground and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a ghastly tattoo.
Then, he grinned. "Little brother, this is robbery.
Hand over your valuables. "
The young boy looked at the tattoo in horror and scrambled to escape.
"…"
