Chapter 350 Dark Flower
Downstairs of the NGN building, more than 20 people of different ages and genders gathered on the sidewalk. They had red bands on their heads, held clipboards with words written on them, and squatted, sat, or stood facing the entrance of NGN, staring at everyone who came in and out of the main entrance.

In front of the entrance of NGN Company, seven or eight policemen in uniform stood on both sides of the gate, vigilantly looking at the guys on the opposite side who could not be driven away.

These guys with red bands on their heads are supporters of the so-called "independent press, freedom of reporting" principle, and of course, supporters of Li Yuanjun. They have been besieging NGN since two days ago. At first, they were so numerous that at the peak, the road in front of the building was blocked, and the police had difficulty controlling the situation on the street.

Fortunately, these guys were rational and did not take any extreme actions, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened.

Of course, the reason why these "demonstrators" can remain rational is mostly because those who manipulate them behind the scenes dare not push the situation to the point where it really deteriorates, otherwise they will definitely suffer the consequences.

That’s right, these so-called “demonstrators,” “petitioners,” and “supporters of the principle of press independence and freedom of reporting” are definitely not organized spontaneously. Li Yuanjun is indeed very influential in the media field, but it is definitely impossible to say how many ordinary people are willing to support him by not even going to work, not even asking for compensation, and running here every day to sit in and petition.

The current economic situation in South Korea is not good, and people are generally under great pressure in life. Everyone feels their wallets are getting thinner and thinner after running around every day. Who has the energy to sit on the street and eat?

Therefore, the reason why these so-called petitioners are willing to come here to make trouble is probably not for any other reason, but because someone has paid them to do so, and they are also here to work.

Since it is a work, an ordinary job, these people will not do anything extreme. After all, they have their own lives, and it is obviously not a wise thing to completely ruin their lives for a small amount of money. Of course, those who pay them don't want them to do that.

Because of this, although these people had been blocking the company gate for two or three days, they did not hinder the normal operation of NGN. Even the black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked by An Rusong on the roadside was not damaged. It was as if NGN had nothing to do with these protesters and petitioners, and they were just putting on a show for others to see.

As Li Yuanjun was taken away for investigation by prosecutors from the Central Investigation Office, and especially as some videos that were extremely unfavorable to Li Yuanjun began to circulate on the Internet, the number of people who continued to petition in front of the NGN company suddenly decreased a lot, from the initial several hundred people to the current dozen people. It is estimated that these people will disappear in the next two days.

Jiang Xiuyuan was standing by the window on the third floor of the company, looking downstairs with a worried look on her face. Just now, An Rusong went downstairs with his only bodyguard. He received a call and said that he needed to go out to deal with something.

Although An Rushong had been bringing a bodyguard with him when entering and leaving the company in the past two days and had never been besieged by the people at the door, Jiang Xiuyuan was very worried every time he left the company. She was afraid that one or two of those people would go crazy and suddenly rush out to attack An Rushong.

Downstairs in the company, An Rushong followed Luo Minzhi out of the front door of the building. He signaled the latter to stop, and then walked towards a police chief.

The policemen on duty at the gate of NGN Company were not hired by An Rushong through his connections, but were arranged by the nearby police station due to concerns about violence. Most importantly, those petitioners were not holding an illegal assembly, as they had submitted an application before the assembly. Therefore, according to regulations, the relevant police station must arrange police officers to be on duty at the place where they applied for the assembly.

Walking up to the police chief, An Rushong shook hands with him, had a brief conversation with him, and then turned and left with Luo Minzhi.

From the time he appeared at the company gate to the time he got on the Mercedes-Benz on the roadside, the guys who came to petition and demonstrate did not make any movement. The dozen or so people did not even look at him - at this point, these guys did not even play their basic roles, they were simply relying on time to wait to get paid and leave.

After a moment, the Mercedes-Benz business car that had been parked on the side of the road started slowly, turned around on the not very wide road, and drove straight to the south side of the road.

Nantailing, the mountain behind Zhao Jingsheng’s old house.

As the weather warms up, the breath of spring begins to spread over Seoul, and the Namtaere Mountain, which has been withered and yellow for a winter, is beginning to show signs of greening again. The fruit trees in the orchard on the back mountain have sprouted on their branches, and from a distance they look gray-green, with a somewhat strange color tone.

The Mercedes-Benz business car drove directly into the orchard and finally stopped in front of the cold storage. When the car stopped, a young man with dyed yellow hair trotted up and opened the door for An Rusong. When the latter got out of the car, the young man bowed to him at a ninety degree and greeted him loudly, "Brother Rusong."

An Rusong looked at the small house opposite the cold storage, casually patted the yellow-haired young man on the shoulder, and then walked towards the small house. In fact, after he failed to make suggestions to the Zhao Jingsheng brothers to set up a food delivery platform, An Rusong had intended to distance himself from the brothers. It was because the brothers were short-sighted, or at least had no long-term vision. They were content with their current life and had never thought about bleaching themselves seriously.

In An Rushong's mind, since he was reborn, he has come into contact with so many people, but Zhao Jingsheng is the one who left a good impression on him. Although he is a gangster, he is not without bottom line. At least he has a kind of "righteousness" that is tinged with banditry.

In South Korea's deformed and broken society, such people are actually rare. To some extent, An Rushong is willing to regard the other party as a friend - this in itself is difficult, because for the reborn An Rushong, there is no one in the world he lives in who can be regarded as a friend by him.

But if the Zhao Jingsheng brothers cannot clear their names in the next two years, he will not be able to maintain a close relationship with each other forever, because the other party's identity will inevitably implicate him one day in the future.

But then again, considering their relationship with each other, it is not easy for An Rushong to distance himself from the two brothers, because they share so many secrets that if either of them is not careful enough, they can send both of them to hell.

Just like this time, the videos about Li Yuanjun spread on the Internet are a secret shared by brothers An Rusong and Zhao Jingsheng. The original source of the video is the CDs they got when they killed Park Jinji and Li Miaojing. Just the existence of this shared secret makes the connection between them inseparable.

Unless An Rushong finds an opportunity to kill the two brothers, and he can't do such a thing, at least now.

The small house opposite the cold storage was really short and cramped. It was usually used as a temporary resting place for people who looked after the cold storage. The furnishings inside were also very simple. In addition to a bed and an electric oil heater, there was only a stool with one leg missing. If you didn't count the bed, there was no place to sit.

When An Rusong walked into the small house, there were five people in the room. In addition to the brothers Zhao Jingsheng and Zhao Chenghao who were sitting on the bed, there were two sturdy young men standing beside them. As for the last person, he was tied up with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and he knelt in front of Zhao Jingsheng with his head down.

"Brother Jingsheng, Brother Chenghao," An Rusong greeted the two brothers with a smile as usual after he walked in. Then, he turned his eyes to the kneeling guy and asked, "Is this the guy?"

Zhao Jingsheng nodded but said nothing.

"Have you found out who is behind this?" An Rushong walked a few steps towards the bed, sat down next to Zhao Jingsheng, and asked.

Zhao Jingsheng shook his head and said, "This guy doesn't know anything either. The secret money was told to him by a man named Cui Anyuan, who is his friend."

An Rusong asked: "Where is Cui Anyuan?"

Zhao Chenghao on the other side handed over a notebook with notes on it, meaning that he could read it himself.

The reason why An Rushong came to see the Zhao Jingsheng brothers today was because Zhao Chenghao had just called him an hour ago.

On the phone, Zhao Chenghao told him that several brothers from the Nanbudong faction reported to them that someone had offered 2 million won in secret money to buy An Rusong's life. I guess everyone knows what secret money is. This jargon is used internationally, and it means hiring someone to kill someone.

It was just that the person who leaked the information was unlucky, and he found the Nanbudong faction. As a government-registered gang, some outsiders in the Nanbudong faction would take on this kind of business, but the person they wanted to kill this time was someone who had a close relationship with the Zhao Jingsheng brothers, so the person who leaked the information was directly arrested.

On the way from NGN, An Rusong was also thinking about this question: Who wanted to kill him again and offered a reward of 2 million won? But he had offended too many people now, and almost every one of them was able to offer a reward of 2 million won. Therefore, it was not easy for him to find the person who posted the secret flower.
