A few days later, Director Kim played the full-time driver, Chunzi played the administrative secretary, Huang Zhicheng played the young and promising president, and Gao Xidong played the president's slightly mentally ill brother. They put on a good show in front of Li Jiangshi and even bought a shell company for this purpose. They rented an entire floor in a high-end office building in the center of Seoul as the company's office, hired dozens of staff members, and invested in an underground casino. Even the relevant information and photos of Huang Zhicheng and his company could be searched on the Internet, just to make Li Jiangshi, who was investigating secretly, believe that all this was true.
Huang Zhicheng, dressed in a suit and tie, drove into a casino in a luxury car, and Li Jiangshi followed stealthily behind him. He thought he was secretly tracking and investigating Huang Zhicheng these days, but he didn't know that Gao Xidong was following him not far behind, and had installed hidden cameras and eavesdropping devices in his home. A real hunter often appears in the form of prey, so that the prey can relax its vigilance and fall into the trap without knowing it.
Seeing Li Jiangshi following Huang Zhicheng into the casino, Gao Xidong stopped and called Huang Zhicheng to report:
"Li Jiangshi has been following you for several days. Be careful and don't reveal any clues!"
"Got it. Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"
"Everything is arranged. I have something else to do so I'll hang up first. Bye!"
"Okay, bye!"
In the casino, Huang Zhicheng hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket, took the chips from Director Jin next to him and said with a smile:
"I'm lucky today, how about a couple of gambles?"
"Boss, as long as you are happy, Russian roulette or blackjack?"
Knowing that Li Jiangshi was watching not far away, Director Jin played the role of a follower and spoke respectfully.
"Let's play something else today, how about Texas Hold'em?"
Huang Zhicheng asked as he walked and looked at Director Jin beside him.
"President, you have a meeting this afternoon. A client in the United States wants to..."
“Ouch!”
Without waiting for Director Jin to finish speaking, Li Jiangshi pretended to accidentally bump into Huang Zhicheng, and the chips in his hand fell to the ground.
“That’s true!”
Li Jiangshi quickly squatted down to pick up the chips that fell on the ground. Huang Zhicheng and Director Jin beside him helped pick them up. At this time, Li Jiangshi glanced at Huang Zhicheng and pretended to be surprised and said:
"Hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"
Hearing Li Jiangshi's voice, Huang Zhicheng looked up at him and asked with some doubt:
"Excuse me, who are you...?"
"Didn't you recognize him?"
Seeing that Huang Zhicheng didn't recognize him, Li Jiangshi reminded him in a low voice:
"Detention center, do you remember ?"
"Oh, I remember now, it's you!"
Huang Zhicheng pretended to suddenly realize something, then returned the chips he had picked up to Li Jiangshi and said:
"Have fun, bye!"
"Okay, bye!"
After playing two rounds of games in the casino and losing all the 200,000 won chips he had exchanged, Li Jiangshi glanced at Huang Zhicheng who was playing Texas Hold'em not far away and left the casino. As a professional liar, gambling is the bottom line that must not be touched, because cheating money will never come faster than losing money. In fact, except for the casino, all gamblers sitting at the gambling table are losers. As long as they do not leave the gambling table completely, sooner or later they will lose everything they have, or even be heavily in debt and cannot pay it back in their lifetime.
In the afternoon, inside Huang Zhicheng's KMS Investment Company, a phone rang. Chunzi, dressed as an administrative secretary, quickly picked up the phone and said in a sweet voice:
"Hello, dear customer, this is KMS Investment Company. How can I help you?"
"Yes, sir, do you need me to contact you?"
"Okay, guest, see you later!"
"Okay, guest, bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Zhicheng next to him smiled and said:
"Is it Li Jiangshi?"
"Yes, he is downstairs. He said he just happened to be passing by and wanted to come and see our company!"
Chunzi looked at Huang Zhicheng and said with a smile:
"Boss, do you need to prepare yourself?"
"No, just be natural. Too much is as bad as too little. After so much preparation, he will take the bait!"
"Okay, President!"
Soon, Li Jiangshi arrived at Huang Zhicheng's KMS Investment Company. The person who was responsible for receiving him was Chunzi. Chunzi took him into a meeting room, prepared coffee, and said politely with a smile:
"Mr. Li, our president is still in a meeting. Could you please wait a moment?"
"good!"
Li Jiangshi nodded slightly, glanced at the busy office area outside the conference room and said with a smile:
“Is your company busy?”
"no!"
Chunzi glanced at the dozens of people outside the conference room who were constantly on the phone and said with a smile:
"Our KMS Investment Company has cooperation with major commercial banks in the Republic of Korea. We get a list of high-quality customers from them, and then call them one by one to see if we can get investment or loans. For each successful order, the salesperson can get a certain commission and commission. The more you work, the more you get. There is no upper limit. That's why they work so hard. If our president couldn't do without me, I would also like to call to solicit investment. If I'm lucky, it's possible to make tens of millions of won a month!"
"so much?"
Li Jiangshi was a little surprised to hear that he could earn tens of millions of won a month. You know, the average salary in South Korea is only about two million won. He can earn more than ten times the salary by making phone calls here. Why does he still want to be a liar? He might as well come here to make phone calls.
"Not everyone has so many. It depends on personal ability and a certain amount of luck!"
Haruko smiled politely.
In order to make KMS Investment Company more like a real company, Huang Zhicheng took orders from a third-party company and specially hired dozens of people to call the bank's customers to promote loans, financial management, credit card installments, etc. They claimed to be regular bank customer service, but in fact they were just interns who had received a few days of simple training. The business was real, and the commissions were also real, but it was basically impossible to get a monthly income of tens of millions of won, unless you were extremely lucky and every call you made was a successful sales pitch, or you signed a large order of a very large amount, with a commission of several million or even tens of millions of won. The probability of this happening was not much different from winning the first prize in the lottery.
Just when Li Jiangshi wanted to ask something, Huang Zhicheng, who had been watching in the monitoring room, rushed over and asked Chunzi to prepare two more cups of coffee for him and Li Jiangshi. Huang Zhicheng sat opposite Li Jiangshi and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li, are you coming to our company to invest or to take out a loan?"
“It’s you!”
Upon seeing Huang Zhicheng, Li Jiangshi pretended to be surprised and said:
"We meet again. It seems that we are destined to be together!"
" Yeah?"
Compared with Li Jiangshi's enthusiasm, Huang Zhicheng seemed polite and distant.
"Of course, compared to the same period in the army, the love for the comrades in prison is deeper. Compared to the food in the army, the prison food is more memorable, right?"
"Indeed, it was my first time going to a place like that, and I was really impressed!"
"Is it?"
Li Jiangshi smiled and got straight to the point:
"Speaking of the detention center, I remember you said at the time that you wanted to invest in real estate, right?"
“I have given up on investing in real estate because I was scammed not long ago!”
Hearing Huang Zhicheng say this, Li Jiangshi was obviously stunned for a moment. All the plans he had prepared in his mind fell through. He took a sip of coffee and covered it up by saying:
"It's like this. Not long ago, my father in the United States passed away. When he died, he left me some inheritance, which I invested in..."
"Yeah?"
Seeing Li Jiangshi's evasive look, Huang Zhicheng cooperated with him and said:
"I don't know if we can talk about these things on our first meeting. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's not appropriate..."
"Oh, really, is there anything we can't talk about?"
Seeing Huang Zhicheng's hesitation, Li Jiangshi immediately agreed with him and said:
"Tell me, are there any good investment projects?"
"This is really... because it's illegal... so it's hard to say, do you understand?"
"Illegal?"
Hearing the word "illegal", Li Jiangshi instantly became interested. In his opinion, breaking the law is equal to making money. All good money-making businesses are written in the laws and regulations. Because it is illegal, there are fewer people willing to do it, the competition pressure is relatively small, and it is easier to make money. Thinking of this in his heart, he looked at Huang Zhicheng with interest and said:
"Tell me what kind of business it is. As long as I can make money, I don't care whether it's illegal or not!"
"Really? Turns out he's a tough guy!"
Huang Zhicheng drank his coffee and looked at Li Jiangshi and said with a smile:
"It's like this, I'm looking for a partner!"
"partner?"
"It's a casino, and it also launders money. It's the one you went to before. The returns are very high, but it requires a lot of money!"
"How much do you need?"
"At least 1 billion won, the rate of return is more than 80% in six months!"
"One billion won?"
I didn't expect that it would cost so much money. Li Jiangshi felt a little guilty, but also a little excited. He said:
“If you have a billion, is it safe to invest in a casino?”
"Of course it's safe!"
Huang Zhicheng glanced around, then leaned towards Li Jiangshi and whispered:
"I have someone up there, and there's also the Wild Dog Gang in the background. They own more than half of the casino's shares. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Wild Dog Gang?"
Hearing the name of the Wild Dog Gang, Li Jiangshi said with some fear:
“You’re involved with gangs?”
"There's no other way. It's impossible to make a living in the underworld without dealing with these people!"
Seeing that Li Jiangshi was a little scared, Huang Zhicheng quickly comforted him:
"But don't worry, with the people above keeping an eye on us, even wild dogs will become watchdogs. As long as you pay on time every month, there won't be any problems!"
"this……"
After listening to Huang Zhicheng, Li Jiangshi began to hesitate. On the one hand, he had just been defrauded of 100 million won and he felt a little guilty. On the other hand, he felt that what Huang Zhicheng said was true. The company was real, the casino was real, and Huang Zhicheng's personal information and photos could be found on the Internet. If he could really invest in a casino, he would be rich and could just lie down and collect money for the rest of his life. The only problem was that he was a liar, and the inheritance was all a lie. He simply did not have 1 billion won on hand to invest in a casino.
Knowing that Li Jiangshi had no money to invest, Huang Zhicheng played hard to get and said:
"Forget it. It was my fault for being so abrupt on our first meeting. Mr. Li, just pretend you didn't hear anything!"
After saying that, Huang Zhicheng was ready to get up and leave without waiting for Li Jiangshi to speak. Li Jiangshi was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity. He quickly grabbed Huang Zhicheng and said with a smile:
"President Huang, it seems that you have good relationships with people. You can even meet someone like me. Isn't it just 10 billion won? I invested. Tell me the details!"
"Okay, Mr. Li is really straightforward!"
Seeing that Li Jiangshi had taken the bait, Huang Zhicheng sat down again and told him about his investment plan. In fact, the casino was real, and there was really a Wild Dog Gang behind it, as well as Park Hee-soo, Han Qiangzhi, Hong Zhengzhu and other so-called bosses. The only thing that deceived Li Jiangshi was that the casino was not short of money at all, and it was not the turn of small people like Huang Zhicheng and him to invest. However, because of Park Hee-soo, the casino could cooperate with Huang Zhicheng in acting and let him be the person in charge in public, relying on the power of others for a while.
Of course, the premise is that no losses are caused to the casino. If the losses are too great and the holes cannot be filled, not to mention small figures like Huang Zhicheng and Chunzi, even Park Hee-soo will be in trouble and may even be hacked to death in the street. After all, people die for money and birds die for food. There is no shortage of desperate people who are crazy about money in this world, especially the notorious Wild Dog Gang. They are called the Wild Dog Gang because the people in it like to use hungry wild dogs to bite living people and watch them die in pain and wailing. Their methods are extremely cruel and can be said to be completely inhumane.
After discussing the investment time with Huang Zhicheng, Li Jiangshi returned home and began to think of ways to raise money. He called his clients and friends one after another, but unfortunately, let alone 1 billion won, he couldn't even borrow 100,000 won.
In Park Hee-soo's secret base, Huang Zhicheng and others watched Li Jiangshi who was calling to borrow money through the big screen. Seeing him humbly asking for money, but no one was willing to lend it to him, Gao Xidong said with some amusement:
"How bad is this guy? How come there is no one willing to lend him money?"
Chunzi, who was standing next to him, looked at Gao Xidong who was laughing and said speechlessly:
"Think about it carefully. If it were you, would you lend it to him?"
"There is only one way to borrow money!"
Huang Zhicheng looked at Li Jiangshi walking back and forth on the big screen and said word by word:
"Zhang... Dou... Qi!"
As expected, about thirty minutes later, Li Jiangshi, who still couldn't borrow money, hesitated for a long time. Finally, he picked up his phone and dialed an unfamiliar number that was not in his address book. After a few beeps, the call was connected. Li Jiangshi hurriedly greeted:
"Brother, I'm Li Jiangshi, are you okay?"
After hearing Li Jiangshi's voice, there was a slight pause, and then a deep male voice came from the other side:
"Didn't I tell you not to call?"
"I'm sorry, brother, because the matter is too urgent, so I..."
"What's up?"
"Brother, can you...can you lend me 1 billion won ?"
"Didn't I say I would compensate you later?"
"No, brother, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to rush you. It's just that this is a rare opportunity. Someone wants me to invest in a casino together. It requires 1 billion won and a return of more than 80% in six months!"
"Wait a minute, the president wants to talk to you!"
"Okay, big brother!"
"It's me, how are you doing?"
Another slightly aged male voice came from the phone.
"President, I haven't greeted you for a long time. When did you come back?"
"I heard that you are going to open a casino with others?"
"Yes, President!"
"Jiang Shi, you know I don't trust others very much, right?"
"President, I..."
"I'll send someone over, you just give it to him, and I'll give you your share!"
"Got it, President. Take care!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
…
In Park Hee-soo's secret base, Gao Xidong stared at Li Jiangshi on the big screen and said,
"Oh my god, Zhang Douqi is really alive, is this reasonable?"
“That’s what I mean!”
Haruko at the side was also incredulous:
"The police clearly said that Zhang Douqi was dead. Can even death be faked?"
"Where is Zhang Douqi?"
Park Hee-soo looked at Director Kim who was in charge of tracking the call.
"It's a base station in Thailand. It passed through several base stations in the middle, so it can't be traced!"
Hearing what Director Kim said, Park Hee-soo looked at Huang Zhicheng and said:
"You met Zhang Douqi in Thailand, right?"
"Yes, I saw him once four years ago!"
"Any idea who he'll send?"
"No matter who it is, they will definitely contact Li Jiangshi first. Gao Xidong is responsible for tracking Li Jiangshi. They will most likely meet outside!"
Hearing Huang Zhicheng say this, Gao Xidong couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:
"Why am I responsible for tracking again?"
After looking at Gao Xidong, Huang Zhicheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"
"Are you sure...you don't want to mess with me?"
"Of course not!"
…
Two days later, Li Jiangshi met a strange man in a cafe. Gao Xidong was responsible for following and taking photos. Through the photos he sent back, Director Jin quickly found all the information about the strange man and said:
"Guo Chengjian, a well-known professional manager with no criminal record, has nothing to do with Zhang Douqi?"
"Zhang Douqi won't send a guy who can track down the clues. Act separately according to the original plan!"
“Okay, Prosecutor Park!”
…
As night fell, Yuan Xudong accompanied Lin Yoona for a stroll on the street.
Yuan Xudong promised to go see Yoona's performance a few days ago, and he even made a special memo, and it happened to be today.
After watching the performance, Yuan Xudong said goodbye to other members of Girls' Generation and strolled around with Yoona.
Looking at Lin Yuner who wanted to get closer to him, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Yoon-ah, aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand us if we walk together like this?"
"I'm not afraid!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Lin Yuner mustered up the courage to hold his right hand and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, can I call you Oppa?"
"sure!"
The young and beautiful Lin Yuner took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Yuan Xudong was secretly happy, but on the surface he was reserved and said:
"Your brother-in-law is my good partner. He asked me to take good care of you. Let's go. You can go wherever you want to play tonight. I'll just be responsible for spending the money!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Have you decided where to go?"
"Yeah, I want to go there and play!"
Looking in the direction Lin Yuner pointed, Yuan Xudong saw a magnificent hotel. He said a little embarrassedly:
"Yoona, this isn't a good idea, is it?"
"Oppa, didn't you say we can go wherever we want to play?"
"But……"
When the time came, Yuan Xudong became a little conflicted. This was too fast and he couldn't accept it. Are all Korean female stars like this?
"Come on, Oppa, I promise it's just this once, okay?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's hesitation, Lin Yuner dragged him to the nearby hotel and said:
"I've wanted to go in and see for a long time, but I've never dared to go in!"
Just when Yuan Xudong was thinking about whether to reject Lin Yoona, Lin Yoona dragged him into the luxurious casino next to the big hotel. After passing through the iron gate of the casino and looking at the various gambling tools in the casino, Yuan Xudong secretly felt lucky that he did not make a fool of himself. It was so embarrassing. He originally thought that Lin Yoona wanted to drive, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who wanted to drive. He was so ashamed.
At the chip exchange counter, Lin Yuner handed over her bank card and said:
"Exchange for one million won in chips, thank you!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
While waiting for the chips, Lin Yuner looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Oppa, do you want to exchange some chips?"
"All right!"
Yuan Xudong handed over his bank card and said:
"Just give me a blue chip worth 10,000 dollars, thank you!"
After exchanging the chips, Yuan Xudong took Lin Yuner's arm and walked into the casino. Looking at the dazzling array of gaming items, Yuan Xudong looked at Lin Yuner and smiled:
"This is just the first time. What do you want to play?"
"Well, let me think about it!"
After taking a look around, Lin Yuner pointed to the card table not far away and said:
"How's it there?"
"Let's go!"
Yuan Xudong walked over with Lin Yuner. The game on the table was blackjack, one of the most common poker games in entertainment venues. Players tried their best to make the total points of the cards in their hands reach or approach twenty-one, but not exceed it. The total points were then compared with the dealer to determine the winner.
Looking at the chips on the table, Lin Yuner seemed eager to try:
"Oppa, how much do you want to bet?"
"all!"
"well?"
When Lin Yuner heard Yuan Xudong say that he wanted to bet everything, she slightly widened her eyes and said:
“What if I lose everything at once?”
"Go home and sleep!"
After giving Lin Yuner a blank look, Yuan Xudong put the only chip in his hand on the table. The dealer looked at him and said:
"Ten thousand dollars?"
“Yes, is there a limit here?”
"No!"
"That's good, deal the cards!"
"good!"
After hesitating for a while, Lin Yuner also bet all the one million won in her hand, and then watched the dealer deal the cards nervously.
In the end, Yuan Xudong's cards were 21, Lin Yuner's were 20, and the banker's were 18. The dealer took a look at the cards and said:
"Player has 21, 20, Dealer has 18, Player wins!"
