"Damn it, I'm surrounded!"
Park Bucheng cursed under his breath, his heart racing and adrenaline surging. One moment he was lurking in the shadows, and the next he found himself trapped like a fish in a barrel. The speed of this turn of events was faster than the subway in Seoul. He keenly sensed the murderous intent around him—at least ten people, each exuding a fierce aura, and their intentions were anything but friendly.
Damn it, that old fox Li Zhenghao is playing dirty!
Park Bucheng narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. The situation tonight had felt off from the very beginning. He had walked into this trap solely to flush out the snake lurking in the dark—the traitor who had sold out his brothers and betrayed the gang.
Three days ago, he received an anonymous tip-off that someone within the gang was colluding with rival forces, planning to stir up trouble at tonight's secret meeting. Park Bucheng maintained a facade of calm while secretly launching an investigation, ultimately zeroing in on an inconspicuous individual—Choi Min-ho, an old subordinate who had been with him for five years.
To confirm his suspicions, Park Bucheng decided to play along and deliberately leaked false information, claiming he would reveal the hiding place of a large sum of money at tonight's meeting. This information was known only to a select few core members; if Choi Min-ho was indeed compromised, he would surely leak it.
As expected, during tonight's meeting, Choi Min-ho appeared unusually anxious, his eyes darting around nervously, fidgeting in his seat, and frequently glancing at his phone—these subtle actions did not escape Park Bucheng's notice.
"Boss Park, everyone has arrived," a burly man said as he approached Park Bucheng and spoke in a low voice.
Park Bucheng nodded and scanned the room before settling his gaze on Choi Min-ho, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. The show was about to begin.
He took his seat at the head of the table, his gaze sharp and voice low: "Brothers, I have called you all here tonight to announce something important."
The meeting room fell silent; everyone held their breath in anticipation of Park Bucheng's words.
He paused deliberately, observing everyone's reactions, especially Choi Min-ho. The latter's face turned pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and his fingers gripping his phone turned white from tension.
"I have received news that someone among us is colluding with that old fox Li Zhenghao and selling out our gang's information," Park Bucheng said coldly, his gaze like a knife sweeping over everyone. "Whoever it is, step forward!"
The room erupted into chaos as people began to murmur among themselves, speculating about the identity of the traitor.
Choi Min-ho could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up, pointing at Park Bucheng and shouted hoarsely, "Park Bucheng, you’re slandering me! This is a setup!"
Park Bucheng let out a cold laugh and pulled out a smartphone from his pocket, pressing the play button.
The recording of the conversation between Choi Min-ho and Li Zhenghao filled the room, detailing the discussions from tonight's meeting and the hidden location of a substantial sum of money.
As the recording played, the conference room fell silent. Everyone stared at Choi Min-ho in shock, their eyes filled with anger and disdain.
Choi Min-ho's face turned pale, trembling all over; he knew it was over for him.
"Choi Min-ho, do you have anything to say?" Park Bucheng's tone was icy, like a judgment from hell.
Choi Min-ho collapsed to the floor, his gaze vacant, resembling a walking corpse.
Park Bucheng waved his hand, and two men in black moved forward to drag Choi Min-ho away.
"Brothers, I know you are all shocked and angry," Park Bucheng surveyed the crowd, his voice steady and powerful. "But I hope we can unite to confront external enemies and protect our shared home!"
Park Bucheng's impassioned speech earned him thunderous applause, elevating his prestige to unprecedented heights.
After the meeting concluded, Park Bucheng returned to his office, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
Tonight's operation successfully exposed the traitor but also made him acutely aware that the gangster world was rife with deceit; one misstep could lead to utter ruin.
He needed to be more cautious than ever to survive in this brutal world.
He returned to the base and immediately contacted Kim Jeong-soo to inform him of what had happened that night.
"Brother Cheng, are you alright?" Kim Jeong-soo asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Park Bucheng replied calmly. "However, tonight's events have made me more certain of one thing."
"What is it?"
"Li Zhenghao, that old fox, must be eliminated!" A glint of murderous intent flashed in Park Bucheng's eyes, his tone as cold as frost.
Kim Jeong-soo fell silent. He knew that Park Bucheng had made up his mind; no one could change his decision.
Park Bucheng squinted at the pitch-black night sky outside, lost in thought. He didn't know where the road ahead would lead him, but he knew he had to keep moving forward—for his own goals, for his own future.
He took a deep breath, determination filling his eyes.
This gangster struggle had only just begun...
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks shattered the tranquility of the night.
Who could it be? At this hour?
