Inside the Jeju Island Police Station.

Gu Bai, Jung Soo-yeon, Zheng Xiujing, Lin Yun'Er, and Lee Ji-eun were all sitting inside the inquiry room. After two hours of buffering, the women's emotions had mostly calmed down, but they still couldn't completely erase the pallor on their faces.

Given their special status, these Goryeo police officers were extremely polite. Stars and a gunfight, and with such a huge commotion, it didn't take long for countless media to swarm over. And with the Jeju Island Police Station standing at the center of the storm, it was destined to attract the attention of everyone in Korea; they definitely didn't want any troubles at this point in time.

At the entrance of the inquiry room, 20 armed bodyguards stood in silence. But since Lee Kun-hee had managed to get them firearm licenses, they were considered legally armed, and the police couldn't do anything about it.

"Mr. Gu, given that you are a foreign entrant with a special identity, we have already notified the Goryeo Elder Council and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Hua Country. During this period, we kindly ask you to remain calm and stay with us at the police station for a while until we understand the details of the situation."

Jeju Island Police Station's highest-ranking official, Chief Shen Gwang-tae, stood in front of Gu Bai, speaking with a tone of respect.

Two hours were enough for Shin Gwang-tae to investigate Gu Bai's public identity thoroughly.

The investigation was an eye-opener.

Aside from his status as a director of Samsung Group, just Gu Bai's identity in Hua Country was shocking enough—a billionaire, a treasure in any country.

Fortunately, Gu Bai was unharmed. Had anything happened to him in Goryeo, the issue would have escalated to a diplomatic level.

Still, such a significant incident occurred in his jurisdiction, and the victim's identity was so prestigious, leaving Shin Gwang-tae feeling extremely anxious and troubled. At the very least, he couldn't escape the blame. Now, the only way to salvage the situation was to control the situation and catch the culprit, providing an explanation to Gu Bai and the higher-ups. Otherwise, his position as chief would be over.

Gu Bai just glanced up briefly without responding.

Just as Chief Shen was feeling a bit embarrassed, the door of the inquiry room was pushed open, and a female police officer in uniform walked in to report to Shin Gwang-tae: "Chief, there are a few people wanting to see Mr. Gu."

Upon hearing this, Shin Gwang-tae frowned slightly and replied, "Let them wait, I'll be right there. Mr. Gu is currently not suitable for meeting people, I need to consider his safety."

"But..."

The female police officer hadn't finished her sentence when an elderly voice spoke from behind.

"Mr. Gu is a director of Samsung, which makes him an important member of our group. With such a major event happening, as Chairman of Samsung Group, shouldn't I at least have the right to be informed?"

At the door of the inquiry room appeared a large group, led by an elderly man who stunned Shin Gwang-tae.

The actual controller of Samsung Group, Lee Kun-hee!

Shin Gwang-tae hadn't expected that within less than two hours, Lee Kun-hee would appear on Jeju Island. This was beyond his expectations. Looking back at Gu Bai, who still looked calm, seated steadily in the chair, Shin Gwang-tae's heart was unsettled.

Things had indeed escalated.

He had anticipated handling pressure from both the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the upper echelons, but he hadn't expected that even the Chairman of Samsung Group would show up here, making Shin Gwang-tae feel pressured by Samsung Group.

At this moment, Shin Gwang-tae, already troubled, was feeling increasingly overwhelmed.

"Chief Shen, may I speak privately with Mr. Gu?"

Lee Kun-hee inquired of Shin Gwang-tae with a smile.

Though phrased as a question, his tone carried an undeniable certainty.

Normally, this would be impossible. Given Gu Bai's central role in this shooting incident, he should be under constant police observation for 24 hours. Yet, with Lee Kun-hee present, those protocols meant nothing.

"Of course, Chairman Li, please come in."

After saying this, Shin Gwang-tae led the police out of the inquiry room.

Jung Soo-yeon and the four female celebrities were also politely "invited" out of the inquiry room by Lee Kun-hee's entourage.

The door to the inquiry room closed, and outside, Shin Gwang-tae's roar echoed: "Immediately notify the Seoul authorities! Reinforce police forces! The perpetrator must be caught by tonight!"

This roar reverberated throughout the police station, but the expressions of those inside the room remained unchanged.

"Do you have a cigarette?"

Gu Bai leaned back in the chair, softly asking the three people in front of him.

Lee Jae-yong quickly handed over a cigarette and lit it for Gu Bai. Instantly, smoke curled around Gu Bai, wafting in all directions.

Lee Kun-hee, supported by Lee Boo-jin, approached Gu Bai and slowly said, "Mr. Gu, I apologize. This issue is the responsibility of our Li family, and I cannot escape it."

Being in the territory of Goryeo, letting his employer face such a massive shooting incident—though it had nothing to do with him, Lee Kun-hee had to step forward and admit his fault. That's just the rule!

"It's not related to you all."

Gu Bai slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his tone devoid of any warmth.

Seeing Gu Bai this way, Lee Kun-hee then gave his assistant Lee Boo-jin a heavy slap, angrily commanding: "Apologize to Mr. Gu!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu."

Without hesitation, Lee Boo-jin immediately apologized to Gu Bai following Lee Kun-hee's orders.
