Chapter 351 You! In the past! President Jiang is waiting for you!
At this moment, Lee Hyun-ki only thought about executing Jiang Jing's orders perfectly, not noticing the strange gazes and rich inner monologues of the crowd.
He walked straight up to that large henchman and said with a tone of urgency: "Vice President Jin, President Jiang is waiting for you inside. Go in."
Looking at Lee Hyun-ki's urging expression and combining it with the way he was clutching his buttocks, Jin the henchman's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot instantly.
In his heart, he had already greeted all eighteen generations of Lee Hyun-ki's ancestors!
"Lee Hyun-ki! You shameless pervert! Coward!"
"It's one thing that you were... that way by him, but to drag me down with you?!"
"Are you even human?! I must have been blind to follow you!"
"I've never seen anyone sell out their teammates with such self-righteousness!"
The people around who hadn't been named felt the same way, looking at Lee Hyun-ki with confusion while secretly rejoicing that they had escaped disaster.
They watched the ashen-faced Jin the henchman with a touch of amusement, as if seeing off a warrior about to sacrifice himself.
Lee Hyun-ki was bewildered by the way Jin the henchman glared at him, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
But he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it, just urging even more impatiently: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up! Don't keep President Jiang waiting!"
Seeing Lee Hyun-ki's face as he aided the evildoer, Jin the henchman trembled with rage, but with the gun pointed at him, he dared not disobey.
He took a deep breath, as if to swallow all his humiliation and anger, and slowly stood up with the tragic feeling of someone marching to their death.
The few steps from his seat to the restroom felt as long as crossing the entire Pacific Ocean.
Countless terrifying scenarios flashed through his mind; he was in despair, even thinking...
"If it were a knife in the back, it might be easier to bear than what I am about to face."
The others in the conference room watched this warrior walk heavily into the restroom with eyes mixed with sympathy, relief, and amusement, as if he were stepping onto the guillotine.
However, to everyone's surprise, the process was surprisingly fast this time.
In less than two minutes, the restroom door opened again.
Jiang Jing walked out first, looking relaxed, as if he had just gone in to wash his hands.
And Jin the henchman, following behind him, had no trace of pain or anger from any humiliation on his face.
Instead, just like when Lee Hyun-ki came out, he wore a respectful expression, head slightly lowered, following behind Jiang Jing.
At this, the remaining people outside were completely bewildered.
"Th-this... what is going on?!"
"So fast?!"
"And Vice President Jin's expression... it doesn't look like he was forced to do anything unbearable at all?"
"Instead, it looks like... he admires Jiang Jing?"
Jiang Jing ignored the suspicious and uncertain gazes of the crowd, walked straight to Lee Hyun-ki, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Handle the rest of these small fries."
"I don't want anything that happened here today to leave any unnecessary trouble or leverage, understand?"
A flash of understanding and ruthlessness crossed Lee Hyun-ki's eyes. He immediately bowed and replied in a low, murderous voice: "Don't worry, Master! I understand! They... will definitely not live past today!"
"I guarantee it will be handled cleanly, without leaving any traces!"
His tone was resolute and decisive, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Jiang Jing patted him on the shoulder, nodding with satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with Lee Hyun-ki's loyalty and execution.
Subsequently, Jiang Jing did not linger, leaving the conference room with Zhou Wanqin, Lin Hong, and the other members of the security team, as well as the terrified Lee Ji-yeon and Han Ji-eun sisters.
Watching this "God of Death," Jiang Jing, finally leave, the few remaining small fries in the conference room breathed a long sigh of relief, as if they had just survived a disaster.
They immediately gathered around Lee Hyun-ki and Jin the henchman, offering advice all at once.
"Young Master Li! Vice President Jin! We can't just let it go like this!"
"Right! That Jiang Jing is too arrogant! To dare to kill someone here! We can call the police! Report him for intentional homicide!"
"Exactly! Even if we can't touch him, we must ruin his reputation and that of Xingchen Technology internationally!"
"When he returns to his country, we will mobilize the media and use public opinion to crush him! Make him disgraced!"
They were filled with righteous indignation, as if they had found a direction for revenge.
However, listening to their words, Lee Hyun-ki and Jin Zai-xun had extremely strange smiles on their faces.
The two looked at each other, both seeing the same meaning in the other's eyes.
...
Outside the porthole of the private jet, the land of South Korea gradually shrank beneath the clouds, finally turning into a blurred outline.
Not until the plane smoothly entered the stratosphere did the tense atmosphere slowly dissipate.
Zhou Wanqin exhaled softly, and the hand that had been pressing on the concealed holster at her waist finally relaxed completely.
She exchanged a glance with Lin Hong opposite her, both seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes.
They were professional security personnel and knew better than anyone how serious the consequences of taking action in the conference room just now were.
Those few gunshots were almost equivalent to lighting a fuse on the opponent's territory.
They had originally prepared for the worst—a fierce breakout battle, perhaps even failing to escape unscathed.
But reality was unbelievably smooth.
There were no layers of blockades, no police interceptions, not even a single extra interrogation.
From coming out of that conference room, to getting into the departing motorcade, to airport security and boarding, the entire process was unobstructed, as if nothing had ever happened.
Lee Hyun-ki's people not only did not stop them, but instead, like the most obedient servants, cleared all obstacles for them.
This abnormal smoothness actually made the members of the security team, who had experienced great storms, feel a bit uneasy.
Lin Hong was the type who couldn't keep things to herself.
She held back again and again, but finally couldn't help it.
She looked intently at Jiang Jing, who was leisurely sipping fruit juice opposite her, and asked: "Jiang Jing, are we just going back like this? So smoothly? As for Lee Hyun-ki... how exactly did you handle him?"
Her question instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Lei Zhen, Tank, and the other male team members, although still sitting upright and maintaining a professional alert posture, had their ears twitching slightly, clearly also dying of curiosity.
Even the sisters Lee Ji-yeon and Han Ji-eun, sitting a bit further away, stopped their low conversation and looked over curiously.
