The pure white room, the blue and white striped clothes, and the one-way glass in front, everything is too familiar.
Zheng Da'en lay in bed, his mind full of scenes from his childhood in the laboratory of the organization base.
Since I can remember, I have had blood drawn and taken medicine every day.
These experimental subjects are trapped in a room and fight each other every day. Only those who survive can eat.
Not only their own kind, but also large wolfhounds that were let in and starved for a few days...
When they were six or seven years old, they had to fight with their bare hands against these hungry beasts for food.
It seemed that her past had nothing to do except lying on a cold laboratory table and killing people.
No, there's also her, that horrible creature,
Number One, I wonder how she is doing after escaping from the organization. I’m so jealous!
Zheng Daen touched the needle hole on his wrist, and all he could think of were gray memories.
"Just like the organization, they are a bunch of stinky bugs that deserve to go to hell!"
Turning his head, through the one-way glass, Zheng Daen could vaguely sense that someone was observing him.
She raised her head as if she could see the person behind the one-way glass. She stretched out her hand and made a provocative gesture of wiping her neck, just like she had provoked Dr. Bai.
Although she was put in solitary confinement for three days for this, she did not regret it.
People like them who have undergone genetic modification are not afraid of death.
Death is a relief for them.
But this time she really couldn't understand it. It was just a simple mission organized by the organization, and the person being assassinated was just a gang leader.
She was actually defeated by two bodyguards guarding the door.
When Zheng Daon thought of the two bodyguards who transformed into tall lizardmen, he felt as if all the bones in his body were aching.
"Ashi!"
Zheng Da'en touched her private parts. Those two monsters must have broken at least three of her ribs.
Buzz!
After a low-frequency vibration, the huge mirror in front of Zheng Daen suddenly turned into transparent glass.
Behind the glass, a handsome man in a white suit and holding a cane was looking at her with a scrutinizing look.
Standing next to him was the annoying lab director.
Zheng Daen suddenly jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the mirror in front of him.
Just as her fist was about to touch the bulletproof glass, the silver chain tied around her ankle had reached the end.
Crash
"Ah Xiba! Let me out if you can! I will kill all of you bastards!"
Zheng Daon squatted down, pulled the chain on his ankle hard, glared at Tang Song fiercely, and squeezed out a word through gritted teeth.
"Gudong!" Professor Connors secretly glanced at the expression on Tang Song's face and was really worried about Zheng Daon.
I'm afraid this guy will suddenly explode into a pool of blood!
"You said that she also underwent genetic transcription experiments?"
Tang Song looked at the ferocious Goth girl who looked like a ferocious young animal, and then glanced at Professor Connors standing beside him.
"Yes, Boss. We have tested her genes. From the results, it seems that she is not a natural-born human being, but a clone.
Moreover, we have tested her and found that the subject has the ability to control objects with her mind!
Her clone should also possess this supernatural ability!"
Professor Connors answered Mr. Tang's questions carefully.
Unconsciously, the way he addressed Boss Tang also changed.
From calling him by his last name, to now calling him “boss”!
"If I remember correctly, the Kinmen Group is just a gangster organization in South Korea. How can such a small place like this successfully conduct human transformation experiments?"
Tang Song's words reached the laboratory.
Zheng Daon raised his head, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, and said disdainfully:
"The Kinmen Group is a piece of shit. If the organization didn't need their research funding, I could wipe them out by myself!"
"Organization? What organization are you?"
Tang Song stared at the stubborn and disdainful look of the girl in front of him with interest.
Zheng Daon was furious when Tang Song looked at him as if he was looking at a cat or a dog. He rushed to the observation mirror and scratched his face with both hands.
Her two white and tender hands were waving, just a few centimeters away from the observation mirror glass.
But the chain on her ankles held her tightly.
From Tang Song's perspective, this Gothic Lolita with smoky makeup looked like she was scratching the air with her claws and fangs.
“Dangdang!”
Tang Song tapped the glass twice with his fingers in a mischievous manner, then looked at the girl's frantic expression and a rare bright smile appeared on his face.
"Let's have someone investigate this organization and the Golden Gate Group. Have they dealt with them?"
Tang Song turned to look at Lai En and asked.
"Sloane has gone to South Korea with two members of the Assassin Brotherhood!
They sent back news the day before yesterday that they had killed the chairman of the Kinmen Group!"
… … …
Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
The ecological environment of a small country with few people makes the capital seem a little petty.
A middle-aged man with curly hair, wearing beach pants, a floral shirt and brown sunglasses, walked out of the airport in a casual manner.
Behind him, two subordinates in black suits followed closely, pulling two large suitcases.
"Welcome back!"
Several men in suits saw the middle-aged man, came up to him and bowed in unison.
This scene, and the uniform black suits, made people at the airport avoid them and take detours.
"Zicheng, I've told you so many times, but you're still so reserved!"
Ding Qing stretched out his finger to hook down his sunglasses, looked at the leading younger brother, and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Brother, you came back at the right time. Chairman Jin has passed away, and now there is a fierce fight within the group over who will take the top position.
I have contacted several group elders for you, and they said they will support you!"
Li Zicheng's always tense face was full of helplessness towards his eccentric boss.
But he was relieved in his heart. Chairman Shi was assassinated. During this period, the various forces of the Kinmen Group fought openly and secretly.
In Ding Qing's absence, all the pressure fell on him, a small director.
You have to know that the complicated relationships within the Kinmen Group can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s.
It was also the golden age of South Korea’s development. With the support of the federal government, South Korea’s economy was able to develop rapidly.
However, the imperfect rule of law has not kept pace with the economy, leading to widespread chaos and disorder in society.
When light cannot reach a place, the forces of darkness will spread rapidly like a virus.
South Korea is full of gangsters who shout "Asiba!" and wear floral shirts with wide open collars revealing their tattoos.
Gunfights over territory occur almost every day.
Some overseas Chinese black * associations fully utilized the Chinese people's characteristic of sticking together when facing danger.
Several overseas Chinese gangs united to form a gang, the Peking University faction.
That is Ding Qing and his group from the Kinmen Group.
If there had not been changes in the times, Ding Qing and his people might have continued to roam around in Lishui and abuse their power.
But by the end of the 1990s, South Korea launched a nationwide crackdown on organized crime.
After several rounds of crackdowns, the underworld across the country fell into a slump.
In order to survive, many organizations began to transform, and HSHs across the country began to integrate and establish companies.
The hooligans in flowery shirts and foul language are now a thing of the past.
It then evolved into the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan, which is separated by a sea, wearing black suits, white shirts and ties.
He looks just like a white-collar worker at work.
Because the Peking University faction lacked roots in South Korea, it merged with several gangs to form a group company, the Kinmen Group, which became a cross-regional national gang.
Based on the predecessors of several gangs, the Kinmen Group is divided into the Tiger Faction, the Emperor's Sun Faction and the Peking University Faction.
The Tiger Faction has the strongest power, and therefore the leader of the Tiger Faction became the chairman of the Kinmen Group.
Even though Li Zicheng is from the Peking University school, he has to admire President Shi's methods and courage.
After the establishment of the Kinmen Group, he spent a lot of money to hire a special legal department.
Criminal acts have also changed from being committed openly in broad daylight to being carried out underground and behind the scenes.
The internal organization is strict, with senior legal advisers, and the money obtained from crimes can be used for bribes, especially after the fall of the military government in 1994 and the disappearance of the high-pressure environment.
The Golden Gate Group has ushered in another spring. The entire organization has been covered in a legal cloak and no longer has to hide in the shadows.
They can freely walk forward in suits under the sun, and have become one of the most powerful gangs in South Korea.
However, the composition of the Kinmen Group is extremely complex, consisting of gangs from multiple places. To maintain such an organization with complex components and diverse nationalities, a strong leader is necessary.
Chairman Shi of the Kinmen Group is such a powerful and capable person. When he is around, he can deal with all the forces within the gang.
But after he was assassinated.
The Kinmen Group fell into a state of chaos. Several powerful big brothers all wanted to be the boss, and naturally no one was willing to submit to anyone else.
In this chaotic situation, Li Zicheng was just a director of the Kinmen Group. Without Ding Qing, he could not control the situation at all.
On the contrary, Ding Qing is not only the executive director of the Kinmen Group, but also the boss of this faction of the Peking University School.
Although he was nominally only the third-ranking person in the group, he controlled the group's main business, and Chairman Shi always regarded him as a candidate for succession during his lifetime.
Surrounded by seven or eight men in black suits, Ding Qing and Li Zicheng walked out of the airport. Outside the airport, three black Hyundai sedans had been waiting for a long time.
"That's so cool, Ziyun, when can I become such a big shot with so many fans following me?"
Looking at Ding Qing who was surrounded by men in black, a girl who looked like a high school student standing on the side of the road cast an envious look at him.
"Study hard, and when you get into Seoul National University, you will become an extraordinary person!"
The girl’s best friend, a short-haired girl named Ziyun, had a calm look that didn’t match her age.
"Seoul University? Gu Ziyun, do you think I am you?" The girl said dejectedly, "I don't count on Seoul University anymore. What do you think about me debuting as a star?"
Gu Ziyun looked at her bestie in surprise: "Celebrities, do they have height requirements?"
The girl looked at her short legs and was so angry that her mouth bulged.
"Gu Ziyun!"
The two girls were chasing each other and playing, and Gu Ziyun's eyes swept over the license plate number of the Hyundai car that Ding Qing was riding in.
… …
"Zicheng, this is a gift I prepared for you. I bought it at the Rolex store in Shanghai. It's a famous brand!"
Li Zicheng looked helplessly at the beautifully packaged watch box opened by his elder brother.
The golden fake watch inside made him speechless.
This has happened countless times. Every time I go back to China, this unreliable boss of mine always brings back some counterfeit goods.
"No way, ah, it's a fake again!"
Ding Qing looked at Li Zicheng's helpless expression, picked up the bag in his hand and gave it to his younger brother in the passenger seat.
"I told you before, look carefully, it's a knockoff again!"
The younger brother looked helpless and aggrieved, shrank his neck and dared not say anything.
He is not Director Li. He and the eldest brother fought together as gangsters since childhood.
"Don't worry, Zicheng. When your sister-in-law gives birth to my nephew, I will prepare a generous gift for her!"
Ding Qing patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder and made a promise.
Li Zicheng turned his head, looked out the window, and sighed.
"Brother, the situation within the group is very bad right now. I got the news that many people support Brother Zhong Jiu!"
"Well, Li Zhongjiu, he can't handle the Kinmen Group!"
Ding Qing put a cigarette in his mouth, but before he could light it, Li Zicheng snatched it away and stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.
Chewing candy in his mouth, Ding Qing stroked his curly hair in the rearview mirror.
"Zicheng, how did the president die?"
Li Zicheng froze for a moment, but immediately relaxed and replied:
"When I was coming out of the procuratorate, someone shot me in the head with a sniper rifle from a long distance!"
"Huh!" Ding Qing reached out and patted his forehead, then sighed.
"I had advised the president not to send anyone to New York, but he didn't listen!"
"Brother, do you mean that it was done by foreign forces?!"
Li Zicheng was shocked. He had originally planned to send Chairman Shi away in a car accident, but he didn't expect that Chairman Shi was shot in the head before his car arrived.
The tragedy was so tragic that Li Zicheng felt sick to his stomach when he thought about it now.
During this period, both the black and white circles in South Korea have been tracking down the murderer who killed Chairman Shi. So many people have been looking for him but to no avail, but looking at his eldest brother's expression, he had already guessed it.
"Zicheng, tell me, who else is vying for the position of guild president among Zhongjiu?"
Although Li Zicheng was trying to guess which foreign force his elder brother was talking about, seeing that Ding Qing had no intention of telling him, he tactfully stopped asking.
"And Vice President Zhang, there are rumors within the group that he will be promoted!"
Ding Qing raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm on his face:
"The old fox can't help it anymore!"
"Brother, what should we do? Should we make some preparations?" Li Zicheng asked Ding Qing.
"Zicheng, the position of president is not as easy as you think!"
Ding Qing patted Li Zicheng's shoulder meaningfully: "Wait a little longer, someone will come out to clean up this mess!"
… … …
At Incheon Port, an ocean-going cargo ship slowly docked at the port.
Eight backpackers walked off the freighter and blended into the crowd.
The leader was a handsome young man who looked like a nobleman.
… … …
A 17-story building in Cheongnyangni, Seoul.
A group of people were waiting in front of the building. When they saw the Hyundai car approaching, a middle-aged policeman with a beard threw the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground, crushed it out, and walked towards the convoy.
"Director Ding, sorry to bother you, but we may need you to come with us!"
He took out an ID and waved it in front of Ding Qing who had rolled down the car window, then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Shit, this is really troublesome! Chief Jiang, you are really like a mad dog!" Ding Qing raised his eyelids:
"Why? I just got off the plane and you won't even let me eat a hot meal?"
"I have prepared Director Ding's favorite stone pot bibimbap in the police station! I am just waiting for Director Ding to come and enjoy it!"
Section Chief Jiang was smoking a cigarette and staring at Ding Qing with his seemingly cloudy eyes.
Ding Qing looked at Section Chief Jiang, suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said:
"Since it's Chief Jiang's good intention, I can only accept it. But you have to think carefully about the consequences of taking me to the police station!"
Section Chief Jiang was smoking a cigarette with his brows furrowed. As the section chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department, he naturally understood the threat in the words of the man in front of him.
But as the implementer of the "New World" plan, he also understood that he had no way out.
This was also the reason why he rushed over immediately after learning from Li Zicheng that Ding Qing had returned.
"Haha... Chief Jiang, I was just joking with you. This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. We're old friends. You're still the same as before, you can't stand being teased!"
Ding Qing leaned against the window, looked at Section Chief Jiang's solemn expression, and suddenly burst into laughter, his face full of mockery at having pulled off a successful prank.
"Director Ding, you've already made a joke. Our police car has been waiting for a long time! Get out of the car!"
Section Chief Jiang looked serious.
Ding Qing spread his hands and said, "Do you mind if I tell my men a few words? If I don't make it clear, they'll make a scene!"
Section Chief Jiang gestured to his subordinate next to him, then walked aside while smoking a cigarette, leaving space for Ding Qing to speak.
Just as Ding Qing said, this was not the first or second time that the two had dealt with each other.
Therefore, Section Chief Jiang did not produce the arrest warrant for Ding Qing, nor did he give a reason for arresting Ding Qing.
Ding Qing also tacitly did not ask. He knew that if the people from the Metropolitan Police Department really wanted to invite him in to sit down, they could easily collect a lot of evidence.
The two sides have been dealing with each other for many years, and there is more or less some tacit understanding between them.
This is also one of the reasons why Section Chief Jiang took the initiative to step aside.
… …
In the modern car, Li Zicheng lowered his head and said to Ding Qing:
"Brother, I will have the people from the Ministry of Justice get you out of the police station in no more than 48 hours!"
"No, let the people from the Ministry of Justice find a way to keep me in there for half a month!"
Ding Qing patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder and said, "Remember, keep an eye on the outside for me. Also, don't fight for the position of the president. Let Zhong Jiu and the guy named Zhang fight for it!"
"Why, brother? We have the ability to do so!" Li Zicheng was a little puzzled!
He didn't understand why his elder brother had to go to jail. If he really didn't want to fight, wouldn't it be better for him to just stay abroad and not come back
Ding Qing looked at his brother who had followed him for many years, and said in silence: "Zicheng, you should know that the main business of the group is in my hands now, so I am also very clear about the flow of funds within the group!"
"Over 40% of the group's profits have been flowing to unknown overseas accounts every year!"
Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard Ding Qing's words: "Brother, could it be that President Shi was secretly transferring the group's assets before he died?"
"If only it were that simple!" Ding Qing said with a wry smile:
"In recent years, more and more money has been transferred to these overseas accounts, from 40% at the beginning to 50% later.
Recently, 60% of the group’s profits are paid into these overseas accounts every year!”
"Later I went to talk to the president..."
Li Zicheng held his breath, as if his heart had stopped at this moment. He had a vague feeling that what his eldest brother would say would be a shocking inside story.
"The reason why Chairman Shi has been able to lead the Kinmen Group to dominate the South Korean underground world for so many years is not only because of his strong tactics, but also because he has someone supporting him!
Zicheng, do you still remember Zheng Taixian from the Seven Stars Gang? "
"Remember, he was said to be a powerful mutant, and later he accidentally fell into the water..."
Li Zicheng stopped talking.
"A big brother who could compete with President Shi in the past, and a powerful mutant, died from an accidental fall into the water!"
Ding Qing put his arm around Li Zicheng's shoulders and lowered his voice:
"Remember, Zicheng, now that President Shi is dead, they will definitely show up. Keep an eye on the outside for me..."
"Brother, since President Shi has their support and can hold the position of president, why don't you..."
"How do you think President Shi died? He was forced to death!"
Ding Qing interrupted Li Zicheng rudely:
"If that group of people hadn't been sucking blood from the group like leeches, the president wouldn't have wanted to seize New York's smuggling business because of lack of money, thus provoking the new underworld emperor!"
"Now that President Shi is dead, they will definitely show up, but I can't tell whether it's good or bad. I'm too passive abroad, so being locked up in the police station is just right. You stay outside and keep an eye on them for me...
you understand me!?"
"I understand! Big brother!"
Ding Qing opened the car door, straightened his shirt, and casually threw his sunglasses to Li Zicheng in the car.
Li Zicheng grabbed the sunglasses thrown by Ding Qing and watched his back as he walked towards the police car. He felt his entire back was soaked with sweat.
