That afternoon more than 20 days ago, Xu Donghai will never forget it. That day, Lee Jae-chul dialed his phone and agreed to meet at a coffee house.

You're the boss, I'm the driver, what can you do with me?

With doubts in his stomach, Xu Dongzhi went to the appointment on time.

There were few guests in the coffee house, only three or two tables, and when he came to the compartment near the window, Lee Jae-cheol was flipping through the newspaper.

"Boss. He sat in the empty seat opposite.

"Want something?"

"Coffee was good. ”

"Latte?"

"Whatever, I don't pick these. ”

After ordering, the man asked, "Your mother, how are you doing?"

"It's still the same as before. Xu Dongzhi replied, with almost no emotional ups and downs.

"Although the salary I give you is not low, it is still stretched to support your mother while paying off your debts, right? Lee Jae-chul said lightly.

"Almost. Xu Dongzhi smiled bitterly, "But take your time, you can always pay it off." ”

"That being said, I have a new job to introduce to you. Lee Jae-chul looked at him, "The salary, well, is much higher than it is now." ”

"Really?" Xu Dongzhi's expression moved slightly, if he could have a better job, not only could he pay off his debts quickly, but also improve his mother's life, "What kind of job?"

"Gang leader, no, should be half a leader. ”

Hearing this, his face turned cold, and he said bluntly: "You're joking." ”

"Of course not. Lee Jae-cheol crossed his fingers, "I know about you, your father, and your mother." ”

Eight years ago, a gang brawl occurred in Gangwon Province, which was extremely bad in nature, killing and injuring more than a dozen people, and attracted great attention from the government.

It's a pity that because of the mixture, there are hundreds of gang members on both sides, and some of the people involved in the case have fled, and it is difficult to arrest all of them. After a search, the police eventually arrested only seven people and sentenced them to death or life imprisonment.

"As far as I know, your father is among the seven. Lee Jae-cheol's tone was flat, "After that, you and your mother were forced to come to Seoul to join relatives. ”

"After a few months of borrowing, your mother has no shame to trouble them anymore and takes you away. Because the level of education is not high and there is no skill, in order to support the two of them and provide you with education, she has to engage in the leather and meat business. ”

"Shut up!" Hearing this, Xu Dongzhi got up suddenly, opened his five fingers, and held the neck of the man in front of him, but was easily blocked by Li Zaizhe and unloaded his shoulder with his backhand.

Seo Dongzhi was both angry and shocked in his heart, he had trained in the army for five years, practiced a variety of fighting techniques, and was actually subdued by Lee Jae-chul in the blink of an eye.

"Calm down and listen to me. Pressing him on the table, Lee Jae-chul frowned, "But when you were 21 years old, your mother was raped by several people, resulting in mental illness. ”

"After that, you dropped out of school to take care of your mother, and during your military service, you sent her to the hospital, and the cost of treatment was very expensive, partly borrowed from relatives and partly from your own salary, and life was extremely difficult. ”

"Don't you want to know who caused all this?" Mr. Lee said, letting go of Mr. Seo and repositioning his dislocated arm.

"Heh, of course that bastard. He didn't try to attack again, Xu Dongzhi's tone was slightly sarcastic.

"Bastard, that's how you think of your father?"

"Isn't it?" His eyes were red, the green tendons on his neck flared up, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If he hadn't been involved in that incident, how could we have come to Seoul, how could my mother have been, how could I have ......" As he spoke, tears gradually overflowed in his eyes, and it was nothing for him to suffer, but the nightmare that his mother suffered was an eternal pain in Xu Dongzhi's heart.

"It's true that your father is a gang member, but he has nothing to do with that fight. Lee Jae-chul looked at him, "He was already in a semi-withdrawn state and no longer involved in gang fighting. ”

"Then why did he ......?"

"He was caught, and he was designed. ”

Xu Dongzhi's face was full of disbelief.

"Gangwon-do Lianbang faction, your father was originally the number three person, after marrying your mother and having you, he had the idea of quitting, but because of brotherhood, he didn't say it, just tried to marginalize himself. ”

The ringleader, Shin Tae-cheong, found out about his change and was dissatisfied. After a few more years, your father basically quit the Lianbang faction, until the fight broke out, and Shin Tae-ching called him and tricked your father into an abandoned factory under the pretext of reminiscing, of course, not only him, but also three members. ”

"Including your father, the four of them are the substitutes for Shen Taiqing's death. ”

"What about the police? They didn't find out the truth?"

"The truth is nothing compared to the quick detection of the case, which has been praised by the people and the government. ”

"And how do you know?" he skeptical.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, there is no fact that you can't understand. Lee Jae-chul said lightly.

Xu Dongzhi lowered his head, his eyes were complicated and indescribable. After a long silence, he asked again, "Then, my mother." ”

After the fight, the members of the Lionbang faction scattered and fled, and three of them came to Seoul in a group and cowered in the coolness. ”

"One day, they used the money they had swindled out to meet your mother. ”

"Although she is nearly 40 years old and has been hit by her husband's death sentence, she still has charm because of her good foundation, and most importantly, they know your mother and have long coveted it. ”

"One of them took your mother back to the rental house, and the other two followed her, and after being brutally tortured, they turned her into what she is now. After speaking, Lee Jae-chul looked at the man quietly.

Heavy breathing rang out from the cell, containing irrepressible anger.

"Lianbang faction, how is it now?" Xu Dongzhi said word by word.

"Two years ago, Shin Tae-cheong returned to Gangwon Province to rebuild the Lionbon faction, and some of the original group of people withdrew, some stayed, and some joined with fresh blood. ”

"By the way, there is one of the people who hurt your mother, I have in my hands, are you interested in meeting him?"

"Excuse me. ”

Arriving in Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province, the two came to a remote villa with three guards standing outside the door.

"Take us to him. Lee Jae-cheol said.

"Yes. "The guard opens the door and walks ahead to lead the way.

After twisting and turning, they entered the dark basement.

On the wall was a man with chapped lips, blank eyes, and only panties on top and bottom. Seeing Lee Jae-cheol, he struggled and made a sound of chains.

The man said hoarsely: "Please, please let me go, I was a ghost back then, it was my fault for treating my sister-in-law like that, please ......"

"Did you rape Xu Jingyang's wife?" Xu Dongzhi said indifferently.

"It's not just me, it's two. He was emotional, "Yes, it's Seihyuk, it was Sihyuk's bastard who proposed it, not me!"

"I want to talk to him alone. After speaking, Xu Dongzhi added: "Is there a knife?"

Lee Jae-chul looked at the guard, and he took out the saber at his waist.

"Thank you. ”

When Lee Jae-cheol left, he suddenly laughed, and the man on the wall felt a chill in his heart.

"You know, after that day, I've tried to find you countless times, but unfortunately I don't have a clue. ”

"After serving for five years, every time I trained in martial arts, I treated you as imaginary enemies. ”

"I should thank him for allowing me to turn my dream into reality. ”

Looking at Xu Dongzhi who was walking step by step, the man's pupils shrank, and his limbs danced violently, "Don't, don't come here......"

Grabbed the man's throat, ripped off his underwear, and the cold blade stabbed into his lower body.

Xu Dongzhi writhed and roared.

There was a terrifying wail in his ears, and Lee Jae-chul said to the guard: "The sound insulation is a little poor. ”

“……”

After a moment, Xu Dongzhi left the basement with an expressionless face. He walked up to Lee Jae-chul and knelt on his knees.

"Excuse me. "Men avoid," a bit old-fashioned. ”

"I promise you, join the gang today. Xu Dongzhi said in a deep voice.

Lee Jae-chul turned his head and said, "Go out first." As he said, the guard left the living room.

"In that case, let me make it clear to you first. He looked at Xu Dongzhi, "First of all, I don't want you to sell your life, but let you be the leader." ”

"I have a plan to work with overseas gangs to integrate the big and small gangs in northern Korea and then divide and conquer. ”

"You and the representative of that gang are the leaders. ”

"Why?" Xu Dongzhi was puzzled.

"For various reasons, they cannot achieve their goals on their own, and they must cooperate with the Koreans, and you are the representative of the Korean side that I have chosen. ”

"I will not join a gang, nor will I interfere in the operation of the gang, but at special times, you must listen to my orders. ”

"In other words, you will be behind the scenes?" said Xu Dongzhi.

"Wrong. He shook his head, "It's not behind the scenes, it's more like a consultant or something." ”

"I work with them, we have our own interests, and I do what I want because I can help them. ”

"To put it bluntly, you're the eldest brother, but you have to listen to me for certain things. ”

Xu Dongzhi suddenly realized.

"When they come to Korea, you need to lead a group of people and start integrating the gangs in Gangwon-do, and of course, they will help you. Lee Jae-chul said.

"After that, do you want to do that? blackmail, robbery......" he hesitated.

In essence, Xu Dongzhi has a pure heart, and he only stabbed the enemy, just to avenge his mother, and he couldn't bear to attack the civilians. The previous rejection of Lee Jae-chul was not only due to his father's influence, but also because he did not want to become such a wicked person.

"I was about to tell you this. Lee Jae-chul said seriously: "Now is different from before, the era of profiting through inferior means has passed. ”

"When you enter it, not only do you have to restrain your men and forbid harming civilians, but you also have to supervise them, and if anyone doesn't follow the rules, tell the representative first, and if he doesn't care, then inform me. ”

"Understood. ”

"I have convinced your comrades, they have all joined. ”

"Hey, these boys. Xu Dongzhi was helpless. Originally, he would despise them, but now he can only smile bitterly, the two sides have the same identity, the only difference is that he Xu Dongzhi is the leader.

"You alone are not enough, I will borrow people from there. "As for how to do it, you can ask the representative for advice." ”

"Hmm. Xu Dongzhi bowed, "Divide me into Gangwon Province, yes?"

"Revenge, don't you want to?" he raised his eyebrows, "The rivers and lakes have grievances, the most reasonable." ”

Xu Dongzhi lowered his head, and after a while, he said sincerely: "Old Xu's life will be yours in the future." ”

"Don't. Lee Jae-chul hurriedly refused, "If the woman is okay, you can forget it." ”

"Ahem. He rubbed his hands together in embarrassment. Being able to avenge his mother is something Xu Dongzhi has always dreamed of, and it is even more unexpected to learn the truth about his father today.

"Let's go, go back to Seoul. ”

"Good. ”

On the way, Lee Jae-chul spoke: "I put a sum of money into your card, it is more than enough to pay off the debt, and the rest, go to a good hospital for your mother." ”

The Adam's apple moved slightly, and Xu Dongzhi said in a muffled voice: "Hmm." ”

Downstairs in the LOVE company, looking at the man's tall back, he had mixed feelings.

Change my life and make me the kind of person I spurn, but help me get revenge and fulfill my wish.

Are you a demon or a god?
