The next day, at the Goldmoon Group's senior management meeting.
Aside from discussing some routine matters, the group elders proposed that a new chairman should be elected as soon as possible to ensure the group's stability.
This was, after all, the truth. As the head of the group, one had to consider every detail, big and small, to ensure the continued prosperous development of the group.
With Seok Dong's death, many things began to become disorganized. If this continued, it would naturally be detrimental to the group's development.
"The election of the chairman cannot be delayed any longer; it's better to implement it as soon as possible."
The secretary-general spoke directly. As Seok Dong's secretary, he still had a certain say.
Everyone looked at each other, and all expressed their agreement with this proposal.
Vice Chairman Zhang Shouji suggested, "It's best to decide on the new chairman at this month's extraordinary board meeting, otherwise, who knows what other troubles might arise."
"Yes, let's make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, who knows what might happen, and the group cannot be without a leader for a single day."
"And the police have been keeping an eye on us recently!"
Although Zhang Shouji's power had long been hollowed out, he was still the vice chairman in name, and some of his suggestions were still effective.
Even if everyone didn't listen to him, they still agreed with his proposal.
And in their words, they were all leading the conversation towards Lee Joong-ku and Ding Qing, but the two involved parties did not express their opinions, merely listening to the elders speak.
Although everyone knew who would succeed as chairman, it was undoubtedly one of the two, and Ding Qing himself was Seok Dong's groomed successor. It was just that his sudden death, without leaving any will, caused everyone to become restless.
But the arrival of this day was not necessarily better for them if it came earlier.
As for Zhang Shouji, it was better for him to remain a perennial second-in-command; he himself had no ambitions for these things.
Ding Qing and Lee Joong-ku also agreed with the elders' opinions that confirming the chairman's position as soon as possible was not a bad thing for them.
Thus, the tone for the extraordinary board meeting was set, and everyone began to discuss the agenda for the board meeting in a while.
After the meeting, Ding Qing walked out of the conference room, and Johnny naturally followed him, as did Li Zicheng, although Li Zicheng was a bit distracted at this moment.
He walked with his head down beside Ding Qing, but Ding Qing didn't notice this. He just kept chattering, "Ah, shibal! Zicheng, I have to go to Shanghai in a few days. I'll still need your help with company matters."
It wasn't until then that Ding Qing realized Li Zicheng seemed a bit off, looking preoccupied.
Helplessly, Ding Qing patted his shoulder and repeatedly reminded him, "You must remember not to reveal to anyone that I'm leaving Korea for Shanghai."
Although everyone around him was his own people, some matters still required caution.
"Mmm, got it."
At this moment, Li Zicheng couldn't care less about so many things. Whether Ding Qing or Lee Joong-ku took over, it made no difference to him. As long as one of them could take over, he could get out.
"If that madman Lee Joong-ku knew I went to Shanghai, who knows what despicable things he might do."
Clearly, Ding Qing understood Lee Joong-ku, that brute who only thought of violence, very well.
"Oh, right, you should come to Shanghai with me. If I go to Shanghai, you won't be able to carry your weapon with you." Ding Qing glanced at Johnny, then suddenly clapped his head and said.
Johnny was also a little moved by these words. After all, he was returning to China. Although he no longer had any relatives in the country, it didn't affect anything, did it?
However, he was more worried about his identity. After all, he was already somewhat famous internationally. He wondered if he could pass through customs smoothly.
Just as the group reached the basement, a black Mercedes-Benz parked at the very end suddenly started moving.
It drove faster and faster, heading directly towards the group walking in front.
Johnny was the first to hear the sound. He turned to his left rear and clearly saw the Mercedes-Benz.
The other party was still moving very fast, and its target was directly at his direction, so Johnny didn't hesitate. He immediately pulled out his glock 34, held it with both hands, and pointed it at the car.
At this moment, Li Zicheng, who had been preoccupied, also reacted, directly pulling Ding Qing behind him, shielding him.
Both of them reacted very quickly, while the younger brother driving the Mercedes-Benz was sweating profusely, because the other party was pointing a dark gun at him.
Lee Joong-ku, sitting in the back seat, didn't believe Johnny would dare to shoot, so he said to his younger brother, "Rush past and scare them!"
The next second.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three continuous gunshots echoed throughout the basement, and the driver of the black Mercedes-Benz was shot once in the chest, once in the neck, and once in the head.
Under the spasm and contraction of his muscles, his arm turned the steering wheel to the left, causing the car to directly crash into a pillar in the left side of the underground parking garage.
Bang!
The sound of the impact was very loud, and the gunshots were also very loud, scaring Li Zicheng, Ding Qing, and the others.
After all, they usually dealt more with knives, and this was truly their first time seeing such gunplay.
The younger brother in the driver's seat, even after being shot, still stared with wide-open eyes, looking at Lee Joong-ku through the rearview mirror, as if saying, 'Didn't you tell me they wouldn't dare to shoot?'
At this moment, Lee Joong-ku was also startled. The impact of the vehicle against the pillar was too great, and his forehead hit the back of the seat directly. He was still dazed.
But he didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly opened the door and got out, shouting to Johnny, "It's me, Lee Joong-ku. I didn't mean any harm."
These words were meant for both Johnny and Ding Qing, but he really hadn't expected that Johnny, this madman, would actually dare to shoot, and kill his subordinate on the spot.
He even suspected whether the other party would really dare to shoot and kill him. As for whether Ding Qing had ordered it, it was no longer so important; saving his life was the most pressing matter.
Ding Qing also recovered. He looked at Lee Joong-ku, who had his hands raised high, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Yah, shibal! I thought you were trying to run me over just now. Why are you backing down now?"
Lee Joong-ku glanced at the glock in Johnny's hand, pouted, and secretly thought to himself: If it weren't for the glock being on your side, I really could have scared you.
But these words were destined to remain unspoken in his stomach; how could he dare to say them?
He also hadn't expected that Johnny would dare to carry a gun with him. For Johnny, getting a gun in an unfamiliar place was, of course, a very important matter, as it concerned his own safety, especially since he had already accepted the commission.
"Scare us? I don't think so. That car didn't show any signs of slowing down."
Johnny couldn't be bothered to humor him, and with one sentence, he pinned Lee Joong-ku to the ground.
Faced with Johnny and Ding Qing's words, Lee Joong-ku was also embarrassed and couldn't respond, but this was the first time in his life he had encountered such a humiliating situation.
Trying to outsmart someone only to suffer a loss himself was the best explanation for the current situation.
"What if I say this was just an accident, would you believe me?"
Lee Joong-ku could only say this, but Ding Qing extended his finger and waved it from side to side, "Such nonsense, just listen to it yourself. I ask you, do you believe it?"
