Chapter 86 Fate

Chapter 86 Fate

Dusk, Qingxi Mountain Road, north bank of Dawang Reservoir.

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan was driving at a constant speed on the flat road from west to east.

In the back seat of the car, Liu Taihe, with an unpleasant look on his face, put away his phone and turned to look at the young woman sitting next to him.

The woman was wearing a milky white tight skirt, the short hem of which just covered her plump buttocks. Her two long legs, without stockings, glowed with a faint luster under the afterglow of the setting sun.

At this time, the woman was looking out the window with her head tilted, and did not notice that the man's eyes were focused on her.

Liu Taihe was in a bad mood at the moment. To be precise, he had been in a bad mood in recent days.

The Inspection Office is like a scabby dog, always holding on to the trouser legs of the Damushan Group. They clearly have no evidence that the group is involved in any illegal activities, but they always create an atmosphere that the Damushan Group has been caught by them and may be investigated at any time. The group is filled with a tense atmosphere from top to bottom.

If it were just an internal matter of the group, it would be easy to deal with. The problem is that the outside world has also been affected by this atmosphere. It is fine if the banks are chasing for loans, and it is also tolerable if home buyers are blocking the gate of Damushan Real Estate. The real problem is that, affected by these bad news, some "friends" who originally had close ties with the group have also distanced themselves from them.

The Damushan Group hasn't collapsed yet, but those monkeys have already started planning to break up.

They are all a bunch of ungrateful wolves!

Of course, Liu Taihe knew very well where the problem lay. This farce itself had little to do with the Damushan Group. The reason why the Inspection Office was so aggressive was not aimed at the Damushan Group. Their target was Councillor Kong, who was supported by the Damushan Group, and Councillor Liu, who had a close relationship with Councillor Kong.

Today, the old man in the family accepted a summons from the Supreme Procuratorate, which has hinted that as long as the Damusan Group admits that they had bribed Congressman Liu in order to obtain a project from the Ministry of National Defense, the Supreme Procuratorate will give the Damusan Group a break. The final result will be nothing more than fining them some money and sending a scapegoat to jail for a few months.

The Procuratorate had even thought of a scapegoat for the Liu family. They would use Liu Taiming, the eldest son of the Liu family. He had no presence in the Damushan Group anyway. If a person with status but no power was sent to jail, it would not harm the actual interests of the Damushan Group and would also shut the public up. Why not do it?
In fact, Liu Taihe was inclined to accept the proposal of the Inspection Office. He thought it would be difficult for Councillor Kong to escape the conspiracy this time. In other words, Councillor Kong was a sinking ship. If the Damusan Group did not jump ashore before it sank, would it really die with him?

However, it is not yet Liu Taihe's turn to make decisions in the current Damushan Group. Although Liu Taimin is old, he is still the helmsman of the group. Before he makes a clear statement, no one's words will be effective.

For Liu Taihe, what has been bothering him recently is not only the group's troubles, but also a series of problems in the Philippines.

Since the launch of the flower card website, Liu Taihe has really seen what it means to make a fortune. A website that only needs a dozen technicians to maintain it, plus twenty or so customer service agents, and more than thirty offline marketing personnel, can actually drive a daily cash flow of more than 10 billion or even more than 20 billion won.

Although it cannot be said that all the money is his, after all, many people have withdrawn their money from the website, but under the control of the core algorithm, the website can always maintain a basic pool of funds. The funds in this rapidly growing pool can be used by Liu Taihe at any time.

To be honest, if this money could be directly remitted into South Korea and used directly, the difficulties faced by the Damusan Group would be greatly alleviated.

But the facts have proved that any business with high profits is bound to face the problem of fierce competition. And for businesses that are highly profitable but illegal, the internal competition is not just fierce, it is about drinking human blood and eating human flesh.

Since the first conflict broke out, the people Liu Taihe arranged in the Philippines have never been able to settle down. Those Chinese were really too bullying. The settlement conditions they offered were to share the profits of the flower card website with Liu Taihe, and they asked for 30%.

If he doesn't give the money, the war between the two sides will continue, and it will depend on who can't bear it first.

To be honest, Liu Taihe was not afraid of fighting with the other side. It was just a matter of spending more money to hire people. There were plenty of Filipinos. He could hire a desperado for only 6,000 pesos. As for those Vietnamese, Burmese, and Cambodians who had no legal status, they were even cheaper.

Since the war broke out, the two sides have been fighting for such a long time, and Liu Taihe has only lost two core personnel arranged by him. Those who were killed were all peripheral minions who were hired for money.

If the war continues like this, Liu Taihe can fight the opponent for 10,000 years with the profits from the website, because the losses caused by the war are less than 10% of the website's profits. So, isn't war more appropriate than directly giving the opponent 30% of the profits?
The only problem at present is the negative impact of the melee. Liu Taihe feels that if this situation continues for a long time, the Philippine government will definitely intervene. By then, his influence at the official level in the Philippines will definitely not be as great as those of the Chinese.

All kinds of bad things piled up in his mind, making Liu Taihe inexplicably irritated. Looking at the back of the woman beside him, a violent emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

Young Master Liu never knew what it meant to control his emotions. As the violent emotions in his heart rose, he reached out and grabbed the woman's hair. Amid her screams of pain, he pulled her into his arms.

Almost at the same time, outside the Mercedes-Benz, a motorcyclist wearing a black helmet happened to drive parallel to the Mercedes-Benz.

The rider turned his head and looked inside the car, and Liu Taihe happened to see him, but he couldn't see his eyes or face. He could only see the goggles on his helmet, which were also black and reflected light.

For some reason, the moment he saw the motorcyclist, Liu Taihe suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart. This feeling of panic oppressed his heart and made him feel suffocated.

Almost as a reflex, he put the woman in front of him, and this action actually saved his life. At the moment when he pulled the woman into his arms, the motorcyclist outside the car pulled out a pistol from his arms, aimed at the car window and pulled the trigger.

"clap clap"

Three shots were fired, two of which hit the woman's chest and one hit her forehead. The blood splattered all over the carriage, making it shocking.

The driver reacted quickly as well. Just as the motorcyclist fired the third shot, he slammed the steering wheel and hit the motorcycle directly with the side of the car.

The motorcyclist was holding the handlebars with one hand and had no time to react. The speeding motorcycle hit the side door of the Mercedes-Benz directly. After losing control, it hit the sidewalk on the side of the road and then rolled out.

The motorcyclist was also thrown off the motorcycle due to inertia and fell in front of the Mercedes-Benz.

The driver didn't even brake and simply ran over the motorcyclist.

As the car body shook violently, Liu Taihe bounced off his seat and hit the back of the driver's seat. The place where he was hit happened to be his cheek, which was exactly the same place where An Rushong was swollen before.

"Didi"

The ringing of the phone woke An Rushong from his deep sleep.

"Who is it? Calling so late at night?" Sun Manzhu, who was clinging to him like a koala, was also woken up. She murmured and reached out to take the mobile phone from the bedside table.

The cell phone was handed to An Rushong. He took it out and looked at the caller ID. It was a call from a crazy woman.

After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone.

"Liu Taihe was stabbed and has been admitted to the hospital," Han Meiyan's excited voice came from the phone.

"Dead?" An Rushong was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"No, just a minor injury," Han Mi-yeon said.

Then you are talking nonsense!

An Rushong was speechless.

"The man who assassinated him is Vietnamese and holds a Philippine passport," Han Meiyan continued. "People from the Procuratorate have already gone to the Liu family. They suspect that the assassination may be related to a dispute over the interests of a gambling website. In other words, the Procuratorate believes that Liu Taihe is illegally operating a gambling website."

An Rushong woke up all of a sudden.

In South Korea, gambling and operating gambling websites are both illegal, especially the latter. If the Supreme Prosecutor's Office finds clear evidence that Liu Taihe operates a gambling website, he will be in big trouble.

But An Rushong didn't want this mess to be uncovered by the police. After all, he was the one who wrote the website program. Even if the police couldn't find a complete chain of evidence to hold him accountable, he didn't want to get involved in similar trouble at this time.

"You said Liu Taihe is in the hospital now?" After thinking for a while, An Rushong asked again.

"Yes, in the hospital," Han Mi-yeon said.

From the tone of her voice, it was clear that she was hoping that Liu Taihe would be sent to jail. However, after confirming that Liu Taihe was in the hospital, An Rusong heaved a sigh of relief.

Come to think of it, Liu Taihe's flower card website is set up in the Philippines. No matter how powerful the Supreme Prosecutor's Office is, it is impossible for them to find evidence of his connection with the flower card website so quickly. It can even be said that the investigation of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office is just a scare tactic. They probably don't have any evidence at all.

After hanging up the call with Han Miyeon, An Rushong was thinking about going back to sleep, but his phone rang again. This time, the caller was Liu Taihe.
