Chapter 169: Shi Dongchu's Death

Whose fault is it in the economic downturn? 》

This news from a daily newspaper that has a close relationship with conservatives seems to be no different from past critical reports, but Lin Wei still smelled something strange at the first time.

Generally speaking, even the Seoul Daily will often make some critical remarks on the opposite side of Roh Hyunmoo, after all, as a media, you have to show your neutrality and objectivity to the public, and if you always avoid talking about the president, you will inevitably be questioned about the impartiality of the media.

But the Seoul Daily would never publish something like this in a row – it was building momentum.

Lin Wei quickly asked Yin Xuanyou to sort out the contents of the recent newspapers close to the conservatives, and not surprisingly, his suspicions were quickly confirmed.

Since three days ago, a number of media and newspapers have begun to brew the topic of economic sluggishness, and step by step, they have gradually pointed the finger at Lu Xuanwu himself.

Lin Wei frowned slightly, thoughtfully, sat in the office, took out the phone, and after thinking for a while, he first dialed Gao Donghao, who was the minister of strategy at the time.

The other party quickly picked up the phone, and his voice was relaxed: "President Lin, don't come to harm?" ”

"Everything is fine, how is Minister Gao doing?"

Lin Wei also said a few polite words to the other party unhurriedly, and after a few simple jokes, he went straight to the topic and said, "Are there any big events recently?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Donghao was suddenly silent on the phone for a moment, he pondered, and finally said in a tentative tone: "What kind of news did President Lin receive?" ”

"It's not that it's a rumor, but it's just that the signs of the report are a little weird recently, and it seems that someone is starting to set up a situation against President Lu. If this kind of bureau didn't have the help of the prosecutor, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible, right? ”

Lin Wei said pointedly, but Gao Donghao let out a soft laugh when he heard this.

"Awesome! As the next president of Seoul, President Lim has a keen sense of smell. Truth be told, there may have been some big events lately. ”

Lin Wei frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Does Prosecutor General Song know?" ”

"Of course. Originally, I was thinking that we would get together again after a while, but since President Lin has already guessed a little, then I won't hide it from you - if the prosecutor doesn't react at all after being beaten for so long, who will respect our prosecutor in the future? ”

Gao Donghao said directly: "At present, we are starting to investigate the election funds. ”

Lin Wei gently slid one hand over his eyebrows, rubbed his temples, and said softly, "What progress has the investigation reached?" ”

"That's a month's thing." Gao Donghao said in a relaxed tone: "The prosecutor is only responsible for finding out the knife, I don't know how to use it, anyway, the purpose is just to make people sober, don't really think that the prosecutor is just a puppet toy with mermaid meat." ”

Lin Wei smiled, didn't delve into it, just said: "That's it, that's okay, if you need the media, please don't forget to leave a big news for Seoul first." ”

"Hahaha~ Don't worry, you don't need to mention it, except for the Seoul Daily, which other media is worthy of this level of news content?"

Gao Donghao replied with a smile, Lin Wei said a few polite words again and hung up the phone.

His expression was a little heavy, he stood up, paced back and forth in the room, several times, and finally dialed Park Hee-sun's phone directly.

"Councilor Park~ Have you had time lately?"

"Didn't you make an appointment?" Park Hee-sun has a gentle voice.

"Some things have not been confirmed, I'm afraid that some conservatives who are struggling to sleep are going to make any big moves in the near future?"

Lin Wei's serious question made Park Hee-sun silent for a moment, and then, she gave the same answer as Gao Dong-ho.

"As the next president of Seoul, President Lin's sense of smell is really scary, where did you get the news?"

Park Hee-sun was a little shocked in her heart, now the big move in the conservatives is still brewing, if someone leaked it to Lin Wei, she doesn't believe it, because even they themselves haven't decided what to do, the plan is still in the draft stage, only a few people know about it, how to leak it?

Lin Wei narrowed his eyes, and with just two phone calls, he judged the current situation.

At present, the prosecutor is secretly investigating President Lu, starting with the election funds, and the content of the investigation is nothing more than illegal donations, which is an unwritten unspoken rule, which congressman can run without secret funds?

The purpose is probably to warn Lu Xuanwu and respond to Lu Xuanwu's successive actions against the prosecution after taking office.

This response is based on the interests of the prosecution as a whole, and even prosecutors who are inclined to Lu Xuanwu will not intervene to stop it, after all, what prosecutor would want his power to be kept in a cage?

The conservatives are probably not clear about the prosecution's actions, but coincidentally, they are also preparing to start a big operation at this point in time.

It's been a year since Lu Xuanwu took office, and after surviving the initial reckoning, conservatives desperately need a counterattack to prove their existence to their supporters, and at the same time, they can't let Lu Xuanwu's current ruling party dominate.

For the sake of the future elections, or for the sake of the living environment of the opposition parties now, they must attack Lu Xuanwu.

However, the coincidence of the timing of the attack is very likely to make the two sides hit it off and brew a bigger storm.

Lin Wei pondered, and had a certain number in his heart, he chuckled into the phone and said, "Just looking at the news, there have been a lot of negative news about President Lu recently. If Congressman Park is free, it is better to meet earlier, I have good news that may be helpful to Councilor Park. ”

"Oh?" Park Hee-sun became interested, she first signaled Lin Wei to wait for a while, and after just a few tens of seconds, she gave an affirmative answer: "How about tomorrow night?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Wei agreed with a smile, made an appointment to meet the place, and hung up the phone.

Lin Wei groaned, got up and paced back and forth in the office, now that Lu Xuanwu's term of office still has a while, he didn't plan to make his position clear so early, but since everything had already happened, he couldn't stop what was about to happen.

It's better to go with the flow and find a way to make a profit in your own interests from this incident.

He pondered, pondered, and came up with an answer.

Will the attack on Lu Xuanwu by prosecutors and conservatives be successful?

Lin Wei thinks that it will not.

Even if you win for a while, you can only lose more in the end.

Because although Lu Xuanwu has already had a lot of troubles, after all, he has only been in office for a year, and the people are generally still full of trust in him, and it is far from the time to fail.

The hasty counterattack by conservatives and prosecutors will most likely end in failure.

So isn't what Lin Wei wants to do very simple?

Isn't it enough to stand on the side that will win in the end?

He made up his mind, and gradually had a complete plan in his head, how to let Park Hee-sun benefit from it, while he also resolutely continued to stand on Lu Xuanwu's side and enjoy the fruits of the next victory.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Wei put his mind down for the time being, he took out his mobile phone and invited Song Minghui to organize a meeting, and Song Minghui readily agreed that in the evening of three days, there would be another secret gathering.

After arranging the meeting, Lin Wei relaxed a little, patiently handled the documents, got off work on time at night, and returned home to enjoy his daily life as usual, until a phone suddenly rang.

The person who called was Ding Qing, Lin Wei picked up the phone, and habitually said in a relaxed and teasing tone: "Big brother~"

But on the other end of the phone, Ding Qing was extremely silent, and after being quiet for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "What did you talk to President Shi about before?" Did you tell him that you want to officially become the president of Kinmen? ”

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, then hummed, frowned slightly, sat up straight, and said suspiciously: "I have said that Chairman Mu wants to retire this year, and hopes that I can continue to sit in the position of the president of the Seoul Daily, but in various considerations, I hope to become the chairman of the entrance gate, or simply leave Kinmen to serve as the president of Seoul as a free person."

What's wrong? What did President Shi say to you? ”

Lin Wei subconsciously thought that it was Shi Dongchu who found Ding Qing.

But then, Ding Qing's words made Lin Wei's eyes widen slightly.

I only saw that Ding Qing's tone was heavy, and his voice couldn't hear too much emotion beyond that.

"President Shi has been attacked."

"What?"

Lin Wei was stunned and stood up suddenly, Mu Xianmin beside him was startled, turned his head to look at him, and showed concern, but Lin Wei just waved his hand in a hurry, and walked to the changing room with a solemn face in slippers.

"Even though people are still in the hospital, I've heard people describe the scene of the crash as having little hope." Ding Qing's voice was serious.

"Which hospital?" Lin Wei immediately asked, and after Ding Qing finished saying the address, Lin Wei said, "I'll go over immediately." ”

Hanging up the phone, he hurriedly got dressed, Mu Xianmin walked behind him with some concern in his slippers, and helped him find the matching suit: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"President Shi was in a car accident. It may not be that simple, I have to go to the hospital first. Lin Wei briefly introduced a few words, and Mu Xianmin immediately realized that this might be an opportunity, she first smiled, and then said solemnly: "Don't go alone." ”

"I know, don't worry." Lin Wei turned his head and kissed her forehead: "Rest early, you may not come back tonight, don't stay up late, if you can't sleep alone, I will lend Xiao Cui to you tonight." ”

"Phew, you still need to lend it to me. It's okay to take a step back, we can lose the Golden Gate, but I can't lose you. ”

She said seriously, and Lin Wei just looked at her, nodded emphatically, held her face and kissed for a moment, he didn't tie it, and hurriedly went out to make a call.

Within an hour, a long motorcade stopped outside the villa area, and Cha Tae-sik drove his bulletproof car to the villa to pick him up.

Lin Wei sat in the car, and immediately looked at Yin Changnan, who was sitting in the co-pilot.

Yin Changnan turned his head to look at Lin Wei, the two looked at each other, Yin Changnan nodded heavily: "The other brothers have already gone to gather outside the hospital." ”

Lin Wei nodded at this time, the mobile phone rang, and after he picked it up, he patiently listened to Cui Yonghao on the other end of the phone report the situation.

"Big brother, the results of the preliminary investigation only know that a car crashed into the side of President Shi's car, the driver who caused the accident died on the spot, and President Shi's driver was also abandoned for treatment on the spot, and President Shi stopped breathing in the ambulance, but there is no official death notice yet"

After Cui Yonghao finished speaking, he added: "Now that the people in the company have arrived at the hospital, Li Zhongjiu is advocating that you hired a murderer. It's all tense, just waiting for you to arrive. ”

Lin Wei snorted and glanced at Cha Tae-sik, who patted his waist lightly and signaled that the weapon was on his body.

Lin Wei sighed, his brows tightened, but he couldn't think about who would be the murderer for a while.

Li Zhongjiu? It's not impossible, but he and Shi Dong are in love with father and son, even if they fall out, there is a high probability that it will only be the end of parting ways, how can they end up in fratricidal trouble.

Ding Qing? It's not that there is no reason to commit the crime, now he is the only competitor who can compete with Lin Wei for the chairman, but Lin Wei doesn't want to believe that his eldest brother will put everyone in such a dangerous situation for such a reason.

Lin Wei never thought that after the plot of the New World had ended for so long, Shi Dongchu would suffer such a catastrophe as if he was destined.

I couldn't imagine who would do such a thing, and by the time Lin Wei arrived at the hospital, it was already late at night.

In the parking lot, the mighty people in black suits waited for Lin Wei to get out of the car, and bowed ninety degrees in unison.

"Director Lin."

Lin Wei just frowned and waved his hand, and strode forward without speaking, others followed behind him, dozens of people couldn't even go upstairs through an elevator, and a large number of people chose to go up the stairs directly.

When the elevator door opened, the thugs in suits who occupied an entire corridor looked at Lin Wei in unison.

Ding Qing Li Zicheng's people, Li Zhongjiu's people, at this time, everyone's eyes looked at Lin Wei a little strangely, bowed slightly, and called out his name: "Director Lin." ”

Lin Wei just frowned and strode through the crowd, and walked to the front of the operating room, Li Zhongjiu, whose eyes were full of blood, stared at Lin Wei like a beast at this moment: "You did it!" That's what you do! ”

"Shut up!" Ding Qing roared angrily: "What good does Lin Wei do for him to do such a thing!?" ”

"The benefits? Now, if Chairman Shi dies, he will be the next President! Isn't this benefit enough!? ”

Li Zhongjiu's face was full of hideousness: "Lin Wei! Isn't Chairman Stone good enough for you!? How could you do such a thing just to become president a few years earlier? ”

"Not me." Lin Wei just glanced at him coldly: "President Li, speak with your brain, calm down." ”

"How do you want me to calm down!"

Li Zhongjiu roared loudly, and a nurse poked her head out and said cautiously, "Can you be quiet?"

In the end, President Shi was still rescuing inside, Li Zhongjiu held back his anger and turned his head to look at the nurse: "How's the situation!?" Save him! Do you hear me? Tell the doctor to save him! ”

The nurse just shook her head: "The final result is not clear yet, please be quiet." ”

With that, the nurse hurriedly closed the door and returned inside.

Li Zhongjiu held back his anger and didn't make any more noise, but his eyes looked at Lin Wei directly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Lin Wei turned his head to look at Ding Qing: "Have you checked the identity of the driver?" ”

"The investigation is still underway, the police have taken over the scene, will we be notified as soon as there is any news?"

Ding Qing looked at Lin Wei with a solemn expression.

Lin Wei shook his head and paced in front of the door, glancing at Li Zhongjiu from time to time.

"What do you mean? Are you doubting me!? Li Zhongjiu was stunned and suppressed his anger: "Lin Wei! ”

"Can't I doubt you?" Lin Wei asked rhetorically.

Li Zhongjiu clenched his fists, and Lin Wei looked at each other without avoidance, and the solemn atmosphere between the two even made the subordinates of the two around unconsciously tense their muscles, and stood on both sides of the corridor clearly guarding each other.

"That's enough, President Shi's life and death are uncertain. Whatever happens, I'll talk about it later! ”

Ding Qing scolded, Lin Wei retracted his gaze, nodded slightly at Ding Qing, and no longer stared at Li Zhongjiu for his face, and Li Zhongjiu also retracted his gaze, he stood nervously straight, staring at the blurred glass on the door of the operating room.

Time ticked in such an eerie silence, until the lights in the operating room finally went out, and the doctor in the mask and white coat pushed open the door, his expression slightly uneasy.

"We. . I did my best. ”

"Did your best? What about people? Not saving is nothing to try! West Eight! Son of a bitch! Li Zhongjiu grabbed the doctor's white coat violently, and the doctor could only raise his hand: "No way, the patient's injuries are too serious, he has lost his basic vital signs before he is sent, not to mention the serious bleeding in the brain, the most important thing is that the ribs are broken and the heart is punctured during the impact."

His explanation didn't bring Li Zhongjiu back to his senses, it was still the people under him who hugged him, and Lin Wei also took the initiative to push him away.

"I'm sorry, he's so excited." Lin Wei's words made the doctor breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the group of fierce guys in front of him would lose their minds.

The doctor left only one sentence: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Then, he fled and left here.

Lin Wei crossed his hands on his hips, grabbed his hair with one hand that was a little irritable, and Li Zhongjiu couldn't help but shed tears, his eyes were red, and he looked at the empty passage of the operating room in disbelief, the stretcher cart pushed by the nurse walked out of the operating room, and Shi Dongchu, who was lying on it, turned pale and closed his eyes silently.

"Big brother!" Li Zhongjiu's cry of pain was faintly a cry.

Lin Wei sighed, looking at Shi Dongchu's forehead and the traces of depression, you can imagine how violent the car accident happened at that time, and even his skull was sunken in.

He took a step closer and put a hand on Shi Dongchu's shoulder, the still warm corpse was gradually losing the last traces of life.

I'm going to die. 】

Lin Wei's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head from side to side, and then realized that this seemed to be his latest skill called [Dead Words] that was in play.

He kept his hand on Shi Dongchu's body without saying a word, the voice in his ears was extremely noisy and blurry, and he could vaguely hear that it was Shi Dongchu's voice, he seemed to be muttering to himself, telling his heart that only Lin Wei could hear.

【Damn. Decelerate. It's over]

【. What do you think I should do after I retire? 】

【. Nakahisa, you]

【. Lin Wei. 】

The indistinct voice was more like a fragment from a movie, Lin Wei's brows furrowed more and more, the voice in his ears was blurred, and he could only vaguely hear emotions and a few words.

The appearance of these voices is irregular, some words are like Shi Dongchu's inner monologue that happened in the moments before the car accident, and some are like the voice of him talking to others.

"Don't fake it here!" The words squeezed out between Li Zhongjiu's teeth brought Lin Wei back to his senses.

Lin Wei let go of his hand, glanced at Li Zhongjiu with an indifferent expression, and withdrew his palm and gaze: "If you do it, you will die." ”

"What if it's you!?" Li Zhongjiu's eyes widened with anger.

"I'm not going to be so stupid." Lin Wei sneered, made eye contact with Ding Qing, Ding Qing tilted his head, Lin Wei nodded slightly in understanding, and finally glanced at Shi Dong, and walked to the emergency channel with Ding Qing and Li Zicheng.

He took out a cigarette, Lin Wei did not refuse, Li Zicheng also took one, Ding Qing pushed open the window in the corridor, leaned against the bed, lit it, handed the lighter to Lin Wei, and after Lin Wei lit it, he threw the lighter to Li Zicheng.

It wasn't until all three of them spit out a puff of smoke that Ding Qing stared at Lin Wei and said, "It's not me." ”

Lin Wei looked straight at Ding Qing's eyes, and nodded heavily for a while.

"I believe in you."

Now that Shi Dongchu is dead, Lin Wei is only one step away from the president, although there are some surprises, and he also knows that the situation is not good now, but since the opportunity has appeared in front of him, Lin Wei will not hesitate to take this step.

"Do you think it will be Li Zhongjiu?" Ding Qing asked directly.

Lin Wei thought for a moment, his brows tightened: "I'm not sure. Is his acting so good? ”

Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter who does it, you have to be careful Li Zhongjiu." ”

"You have to be careful." Lin Wei sighed and rubbed his eyebrows: "But before the funeral, don't make too many moves. Li Zhongjiu's side, I'll talk about it too. ”

"Well, you'll have to be careful." Ding Qing looked at Lin Wei and said meaningfully: "Don't hesitate. ”

"I know." Lin Wei nodded, then lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "When President Shi's funeral is over, I hope to become the next president of Kinmen." ”

"Look at the board vote, I can vote for you." Ding Qing looked away and said lightly: "The rest of the board of directors should not have any objections to the results of the vote. ”

"Thank you, big brother." Lin Wei sighed: "I will personally investigate this matter until the truth is revealed." ”

"Whoever did it, this thing is probably coming for you. Talk to me if you need help. Ding Qing said.

Lin Wei snorted, took another puff of smoke, and looked out the window, it was extremely quiet outside the hospital late at night.

"Big brother should be careful, too."

"Don't worry." Ding Qing replied simply.

The three fell silent.

Li Zicheng looked at Lin Wei from time to time, and then at Ding Qing, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only lower his gaze, feeling a little irritable.

As soon as Shi Dongchu died, all the people in Kinmen fell into suspicion.

Everyone knows that no matter how small the possibility is, it is not equal to zero, and now all people are likely to be the murderers of Shi Dongchu.

But one thing has been confirmed - Li Zhongjiu will never wait quietly for Lin Wei to become the president.

Lin Wei becoming the chairman means that he will be completely swept away, even if Lin Wei is not the murderer, Li Zhongjiu will not be able to let Lin Wei smoothly transition to the board of directors to vote.

But as Lin Wei said, whether it is Li Zhongjiu or him, the top priority is to let Shi Dong enter and exit the soil first, and find the real culprit as much as possible.

After smoking a cigarette, Lin Wei took out the phone: "I will personally investigate the murderer, President Shi's funeral, I have to trouble you to worry about it, big brother." ”

"Got it, Li Zhongjiu's side is also temporarily contacted by me."

After Ding Qing finished speaking, he also threw away his cigarette butt, patted Lin Wei on the shoulder, and walked out of the emergency channel.

Lin Wei took out the phone and first confirmed the location of the driver who caused the accident - Lin Wei wanted to see the body in person.

He had already experienced the usefulness of the skill of Dead Words, although he felt that it was not very useful, and all he could hear was just a few words, but even a few words might be the key to finding the real murderer.

Lin Wei was distraught thinking about how to face the chaos that followed, and a woman's cry sounded in the hospital again.

He walked out and saw Shi Dongchu's wife, who was holding Shi Dongchu's body and crying bitterly at the moment.

"Madame, please pay your respects." Lin Wei's expression was solemn, soothing sadly.

Shi Dongchu's wife could not listen to the words at the moment, but she just asked the cause of death over and over again, crying in disbelief.

Lin Wei comforted a few words, but he could only stand aside, and like everyone else, he mourned for Shi Dongchu with a sad expression.

People live for a lifetime, decades of hard work, and a generation of heroes, but in the end, it is inevitable to come to an end.

The so-called life.

It's a fragile existence

"Director Lin!"

Madame Shi suddenly turned her head and looked at Lin Wei.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, and then bowed slightly: "Mrs. Shi." ”

"Please. Be sure to find the real culprit behind the scenes." Her eyes contained tears, but her tone was extremely firm: "Avenge him!" ”
