Chapter 1246 Quickly ask her to leave!
Meanwhile, at the Seoul Police Department, Director Choi Jin-min of the National Intelligence Service once again pushed open the door to Police Chief Park Jimin's office without knocking.
"Director Park! Are all the officers in your police station just sitting around doing nothing? Why haven't you found the killer after three days?" Director Choi asked angrily.
“Director Choi, it’s not that I don’t want to look for him, but it’s like he’s vanished. We have no clue whatsoever! We police are really powerless!” Park Jimin said to Choi Jinmin with a bitter expression.
"Do you think I'm stupid? How could we not have a single clue?" Cui Zhenmin asked.
“Based on the analysis of the bullet we extracted from the scene, the gun that fired this bullet is a brand new sniper rifle! It has never been fired before! We have no way of tracing this kind of new gun!” Director Park said, shrugging.
"A new gun? It hasn't been fired even once?" Cui Zhenmin asked in surprise.
“That’s right. And according to our investigation, there are no sellers of this kind of gun in Seoul, not even the big gangs. They mostly sell short guns. If a long gun were sold, the seller would definitely remember it,” Director Park said.
“Can’t we have gotten this gun from somewhere else? If Seoul isn’t an option, then search nationwide!” Director Choi said.
"Director Choi, do you think we can find all the arms dealers in the country within three days? Even if we have enough time, do you think we have that capability?" Director Park countered.
Director Cui knew he was being delusional. Although South Korea was a small country, it still had tens of millions of people. Investigating all the arms dealers within its borders in three days? That was simply an impossible task.
"So what do we do now? We've already investigated and found out that the woman came here to discuss buying their shipping company from the Dayu Group. As long as the deal isn't finalized, she can't leave South Korea! That means the assassin might still target her! If we fail this time, we might fail again next time! We must find the killer as soon as possible!" Director Cui said.
"Director Choi, do you think it's possible for us to have Daewoo Group sell that shipping company to her as soon as possible, so she has no reason to stay in South Korea? Since finding this murderer is so difficult, we can't let her take such a risk, can we?" Director Park blinked his small eyes and said to Director Choi.
"You mean get rid of this woman as soon as possible?" Director Cui said.
"I didn't say anything! Our Seoul Police Department will definitely find the murderer as soon as possible." As a seasoned veteran, how could Chief Park possibly give such an excuse to an intelligence officer like Director Choi?
Most importantly, a second-rate conglomerate like the Daewoo Group is not someone the Seoul Police Department can mess with. Let the National Intelligence Service handle this thankless task! They're a bunch of people everyone hates anyway.
Director Choi glanced at Director Park and cursed under his breath, "Old fox, we're both seasoned foxes, what kind of ghost story are you playing with me? Do you think I don't know you don't want to offend the chaebols?"
However, Choi Jin-min had no choice. If he couldn't guarantee the woman's safety in South Korea, he would have to send her out of the country.
Moreover, getting the Dayu Group to sell what they already wanted to sell shouldn't be too difficult; that would save face for them! So Director Cui just gave Director Park a meaningful look before leaving Director Park's office.
As for Wei Hong, she did not go to Dayu Group the next day. Instead, she followed Sovokov's advice and stayed in the branch building instead of going out.
However, just two hours after Daisy left, she called her.
"Big sister, Dayu Group has agreed to sell the entire shipping company to us, and the price is much cheaper, only 200 million!" Wei Hong could feel the excitement in Daisy's voice even through the phone.
"It's actually 30 million cheaper?" Wei Hong asked in surprise.
“That’s right, sister, it’s a 30 million discount! Judging from the attitude of Dayu Group, it seems like they can’t wait for us to close the deal. They promised that as long as the money is in place, they’ll even deliver it to our door!” Daisy said.
"Hehe, it seems someone is putting pressure on them!" Wei Hong was very smart. Judging from the performance of Dayu Group today, it was obvious that someone was putting pressure on them to end this transaction as soon as possible.
Although she didn't know who was putting pressure on her, Wei Hong believed that it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, so she immediately had Daisy sign the contract!
"Big sister, the contract is signed now, but we're still short of money. What should we do?" Daisy said excitedly.
"It's nothing, just ask your sisters-in-law to chip in some pocket money when we get back! The shortfall isn't that big!" Wei Hong wasn't worried about the money at all.
Because the price was much cheaper than expected, the shortfall of tens of millions could be easily covered by finding someone to break it down.
"So what do we do next? Should we explore and have some fun in South Korea?" Daisy asked curiously.
"Hehe, let's not even think about having fun. Let's go back to China as soon as possible! If we stay any longer, all that trouble they went through to send us back will have been for nothing. That would just be annoying!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
"Does Big Sister mean that the reason the Dayu Group made such a quick concession is because someone wants us to leave South Korea as soon as possible, so they put pressure on the Dayu Group?" Daisy asked in surprise.
“That’s right, otherwise Dayu Group wouldn’t have agreed to our purchase so readily, and at such a low price! This is a huge favor! Although we don’t know who this person is, we can’t let their kindness go to waste, can we?” Wei Hong said with a smile.
“Alright, let’s go back then. Although South Korea looks quite prosperous, it’s really just so-so. It’s not much better than Mingzhu. Maybe I can take a few of my sisters-in-law to Mingzhu for a stroll another day!” Daisy said with a smile.
“Alright, let’s leave this afternoon!” Wei Hong said.
So Wei Hong started making phone calls, and the first call she made was to Situ Haonan, telling him that she was about to return to China.
"I'm so sorry, Miss, you've come all this way and I'm so sorry to have startled you like this!" Situ Haonan said.
"Don't worry about it, Hall Master Situ. I still believe this isn't directed at me. Just keep an eye on things. Someone else will continue investigating this matter. If needed, have them contact you!" Wei Hong said with a smile and a wave of her hand.
After calming Situ Haonan down, Wei Hong called Sovokov again and told him her guess, asking him to also investigate who was putting pressure on Dayu Group.
