chapter 0128 part 3
"There's also Vice Chairman Zhang. There are whispers within the Group that he might take over!"
The corner of Ding Qing's mouth curled up, a hint of mockery in his smile: "The old fox can't hold back anymore, huh!"
"Big Brother, what should we do? Should we make some preparations!" Li Zi Cheng asked Ding Qing.
"Zi Cheng, the chairman's position isn't as easy as you think!"
Ding Qing patted Li Zi Cheng's shoulder meaningfully: "Wait a little longer, someone will come out to clean up this mess!"
………………
Incheon Port, an ocean-going Cargo Ship slowly docked at the Harbour.
Eight backpackers disembarked from the Cargo Ship and blended into the crowd.
Leading them was a young man with a refined appearance, possessing the air of a noble young master.
………………
Cheongnyangni, Seoul, a seventeen-story building.
A group of people waited in front of the building. Seeing the Hyundai car approach, a middle-aged police officer with a scruffy beard threw the cigarette butt in his mouth onto the ground, ground it out fiercely, and walked towards the convoy.
"Director Ding, I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment, but we may need you to come with us!"
He pulled out an identification, flashed it in front of Ding Qing, who had rolled down the car window, and then took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Ssi-bal, this is really trouble! Section Chief Jiang, you're really like a mad dog!" Ding Qing raised his eyebrow:
"What, I just got off the plane, you won't even let me eat a hot meal?"
"I've prepared Director Ding's favorite stone pot bibimbap at the police station! Just waiting for Director Ding to grace us with his presence!"
Section Chief Jiang smoked his cigarette, staring intently at Ding Qing with a pair of seemingly cloudy eyes.
Ding Qing looked at Section Chief Jiang, then suddenly laughed, clapped his hands, and said, "Since it's Section Chief Jiang's kind offer, I can hardly refuse. However, you should carefully consider the consequences of taking me to the police station!"
Section Chief Jiang smoked his cigarette, his eyebrows furrowed into a frown. As a section chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department, he naturally understood the threat in the man's words.
But as the implementer of the "New World" plan, he also knew he had no retreat.
This was also the reason he rushed over immediately after receiving the intelligence about Ding Qing's return from Li Zi Cheng.
"Haha... Section Chief Jiang, I was just joking with you. This isn't our first time dealing with each other. We're all old friends. You're still the same as before, can't take a joke!"
Ding Qing leaned against the window, looking at Section Chief Jiang's serious expression, and suddenly burst into laughter, his face full of the playful mockery of a successful prank.
"Director Ding, you've had your joke. Our police car has been waiting for a long time! Get out of the car!"
Section Chief Jiang was stern-faced.
Ding Qing spread his hands: "You don't mind if I give some instructions to my Subordinates, do you? If I don't explain clearly, these little brats will turn everything upside down!"
Section Chief Jiang gestured to the Subordinate beside him, smoked his cigarette, and walked to the side, leaving Space for Ding Qing to speak.
Just as Ding Qing said, they had dealt with each other more than once or twice.
So Section Chief Jiang did not produce an arrest warrant for Ding Qing, nor did he give a reason for arresting Ding Qing.
Ding Qing also tacitly did not ask. He knew himself that if the Metropolitan Police Department really wanted to invite him in for a chat, they could easily collect a large amount of evidence.
After years of dealing with each other, there was more or less a tacit understanding between them.
This was also one of the reasons why Section Chief Jiang voluntarily stepped aside.

Inside the Hyundai car, Li Zi Cheng lowered his head and said to Ding Qing:
"Big Brother, I will have the people from the legal department get you out of the police station as soon as possible. It won't be longer than forty-eight hours at the latest!"
"No, have the people from the legal department find a way to keep me in there for half a month!"
Ding Qing patted Li Zi Cheng's shoulder: "Remember, keep a close eye on the movements Outside for me. Also, don't compete for the chairman's position. Let Zhong Jiu and the one surnamed Zhang fight for it!"
"Why, Big Brother? It's not like we don't have the strength!" Li Zi Cheng was a bit puzzled!
He didn't understand why his Big Brother wanted to go to jail cell. If he really didn't want to compete, wouldn't it be better not to come back from abroad?
Ding Qing looked at the brother who had followed him for many years, and after a moment of silence, said, "Zi Cheng, you should know that the Group's main business is in my hands right now, so I am very clear about the flow of funds within the Group!"
"All along, over forty percent of the Group's annual profit has flowed into unknown overseas accounts!"
Li Zi Cheng's look changed upon hearing Ding Qing's words: "Big Brother, could it be that Chairman Shi was secretly transferring the Group's assets during his lifetime!"
"If only it were that simple!" Ding Qing said with a bitter smile:
"The money transferred to these overseas accounts has been increasing over the years. From forty percent initially, it later rose to fifty percent,
And recently, sixty percent of the Group's annual profit has to be paid to these overseas accounts!"
"Later, I went to talk to the chairman..."
Li Zi Cheng held his breath, as if his heart had stopped at that moment. He vaguely felt that what his Big Brother was about to say would be a shocking secret.
"The real reason Chairman Shi was able to lead the Golden Gate Group to unify the Underworld of South Korea for so many years, besides his tough methods, is that he had someone backing him! Zi Cheng, do you still remember Zheng Tai Xian from the Seven Stars Gang?"
"I remember. He was said to be a powerful Mutant, and later accidentally drowned..."
Li Zi Cheng's words stopped.
"A Big Brother who could contend with Chairman Shi back then, and a powerful Mutant at that, died from accidentally drowning!"
Ding Qing put his arm around Li Zi Cheng's shoulder and lowered his voice:
"Remember, Zi Cheng, Chairman Shi is dead, they will definitely show themselves. You keep a close eye on the Outside for me..."
"Big Brother, since Chairman Shi had their support and could sit firmly in the chairman's position, why don't you..."
"How do you think Chairman Shi died? He was driven to his death!"
Ding Qing interrupted Li Zi Cheng without politeness:
"If it weren't for that group of people bleeding the Group dry like leeches, the chairman wouldn't have lacked money and tried to seize the smuggling business in New York, thus provoking that newly risen Crime Emperor!"
"Chairman Shi is dead, they will definitely show up, but whether it's good or bad, I can't say. I'm too passive abroad, but being locked up in the police station is just right. You keep a good watch for me Outside...
Do you understand what I mean!?"
"I understand! Big Brother!"
Ding Qing pushed open the car door, adjusted his shirt, and casually threw his sunglasses to Li Zi Cheng inside the car.
Li Zi Cheng caught the sunglasses Ding Qing threw to him, watched his back as he walked towards the police car, and felt his entire back soaked with sweat.
