Chapter 1239 Misunderstanding?
Outside the restaurant, the henchmen of the three families were on guard, while the leaders and above were eating on the first floor.
Li Zicheng was drinking with his underlings when his phone suddenly rang.
"Hey?"
"Okay, I know!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Zicheng told his younger brother and left the restaurant to get into his car outside.
Li Zicheng took out a new phone, dialed a few numbers, and made the call.
"Section Chief Jiang, what's the matter?" Li Zicheng asked with a grim expression.
"What exactly are those two mainland women doing here today? Do you know anything about it?" Section Chief Jiang asked urgently over the phone.
"I don't know the specifics, but they're having dinner at a restaurant right now. Only the higher-ups have the opportunity to attend," Li Zicheng said, rubbing his temples.
"As Ding Qing's most important subordinate, didn't you go up to eat?" Section Chief Jiang asked with some surprise.
“It’s no use. Only the chairman and two directors from the entire Kinmen Group went up. I don’t know what they discussed,” Li Zicheng said.
"Find out the details as soon as possible!" Section Chief Jiang said and hung up the phone. Although the director's instructions were to follow them and protect them secretly, to prevent any accidents from happening to the two in South Korea, for Section Chief Jiang, if he could find out any important information, wouldn't that be a chance to impress the director?
Li Zicheng took out his SIM card, broke it in half, and threw it into a roadside trash can after getting out of the car. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and stared into thought at the darkness outside.
Around 10 p.m., the banquet ended, and a large group of people walked out of the restaurant.
As the group of people were exchanging pleasantries at the entrance, a dark gun barrel was pointed at them from the rooftop of a building about a kilometer away.
"Bang!" A burst of blood suddenly erupted from the shoulder of one of Wei Hong's henchmen, followed by a gunshot.
Situ Haonan immediately pulled Wei Hong and Daisy back into the hotel and headed towards the interior.
The people at the door only then realized that this was an assassination attempt! They quickly got into their cars or entered the restaurant under the cover of their respective henchmen.
"I'm so sorry, Miss, I've frightened you!" Situ Haonan said, standing in front of Wei Hong with a grim expression.
Wei Hong had been on the battlefield, so she didn't react much to the shot. She was just curious about who was behind it.
Daisy was experiencing something like this for the first time and was completely terrified, only able to follow Wei Hong blankly.
"Ms. Zhao, I'm so sorry to have caused you to suffer like this. Don't worry, Jinmen Group will find the culprit as soon as possible and give you and Mr. Zhao an explanation!" Shi Dong came to Wei Hong's side and said to her nervously.
Although the gunman only hit Wei Hong's bodyguard, no one knew the gunman's background, whether he was after the Zhao family's daughter or the Jinmen Group, which shocked Shi Dongchu.
Madam Hong also came forward to comfort the frightened Daisy. Although she was also curious about the reason for what happened tonight, she knew that the Zhao family and even the entire South Korean country were about to face a huge storm!
Fortunately, the gunman only fired one shot and did not fire again. The group quickly left the restaurant and went home.
"Miss, what happened tonight was my fault. I really shouldn't have let you take such a risk!" Situ Haonan said, sitting in the car, as he quickly continued to apologize.
“There’s something fishy about this! Judging from what happened just now, if the gunman’s target was really me, he wouldn’t have missed. There might be some kind of conspiracy involved!” Wei Hong said calmly to Situ Haonan.
"What do you mean, Miss?" Situ Haonan asked.
“I came to South Korea to buy the shipping company of the Dayu Group. This is just a normal business transaction and wouldn’t attract any assassins. If someone with a personal grudge against our family wanted to make a move, they would have done it back home. There’s no need for them to come all the way to South Korea! Moreover, judging from the fact that the gunman deliberately missed, their purpose is clearly to sow discord among the three families or something else. They are very likely targeting your three families, or even you!” Wei Hong said.
"They're after the three of us or me?" Situ Haonan was puzzled, but it wasn't impossible!
"Go back and investigate anything unusual recently, especially those people you've had conflicts with in the last six months!" Wei Hong said sternly.
Wei Hong couldn't believe that she would encounter such a thing on her first trip to South Korea. What happened tonight seemed more like someone trying to make an example of her!
"Yes, Miss, I'll send someone to investigate right away!" Situ Haonan said.
After returning to the Tianqiao Society headquarters and settling Wei Hong and the other person in, Situ Haonan turned and left.
"Big sister, were we shot tonight?" Daisy's empty eyes brightened as she asked.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Wei Hong asked curiously.
"Oh dear, sister! Let's go back. South Korea is too dangerous. How could anyone dare to shoot at us?" Daisy said, her face full of shock.
"It's alright, just be more careful next time! I suspect there's more to tonight's events than meets the eye. We can't just slink back like this; I'm determined to find out the truth. Who would shoot at me?" Wei Hong wasn't going to be scared by such a trivial matter.
"President, who dares to try and sabotage us like this?" Li Zhongjiu asked curiously.
"No matter who it is! I'm giving you two days to find the rat behind this! This matter must be resolved before that Miss Zhao returns to the country! Do you two hear me?" Shi Dongchu said with a grim expression.
What was supposed to be a pleasant welcome banquet turned into a disaster when someone actually came and shot at the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.
Moreover, Shi Dongchu could tell that tonight's shot was clearly a warning, a warning to Shi Dongchu and those two women to stay away!
But how could a simple business acquisition involve a hired gun? Besides, don't they know the status of this person in the eyes of the Zhao family patriarch in China?
"This matter must be investigated as soon as possible!" Shi Dongchu remained silent, his face full of worry.
"Yes!" Li Zhongjiu and Ding Qing quickly agreed.
News of Wei Hong's attack quickly reached Zhao Cheng's ears!
"South Korea encountered an assassin? How could someone possibly assassinate Wei Hong? And with a long-range sniper shot at that? What are they trying to do?" Zhao Cheng looked at the intelligence report, his eyes filled with shock!
The main problem is that this whole thing is just too bizarre. Who would go to South Korea and find someone doing this?
