Chapter 407 Self-introduction
Zheng Xiuheng was also a little surprised by the reaction from the audience. He probably didn't expect that his age had never been accurately stated. Everyone knew that he was in his twenties, but it was not clear exactly how old he was. However, judging from his appearance, he should be quite old. In addition, some people said at the beginning that he was Lee Hyo-ri's cousin, so he must not be older than her. Most people thought that he should be around 26 or 27 years old.
But when Zheng Xiuheng said this, everyone realized that he was only 23 years old, and that was his age in lunar years. When they thought about his career during this period and the story he just told, even the reporters were amazed for a moment.
"Mr. Zheng Xiuheng, do you mean that you became a bodyguard under duress?" A female reporter stood up and asked excitedly, without even getting the microphone or being named.
But Zheng Xiuheng still nodded and smiled, "Well, it's a very leisurely job. Most of the time I just stay in the club. If I have free time, I basically go out to work and earn money. If you are interested, I can show you the account I used at the beginning later. Every amount in it cannot be faked!"
"Big deal!"
Some reporters have already started shouting in private, it seems that this news is no worse than the one in the morning, and it has even become a more popular topic.
"Mr. Zheng Xiuheng, why didn't you consider calling the police when you were coerced?"
"Ha, let's not talk about whether there will be any good changes after calling the police, but for me, the debt is a fact, which cannot be denied. And he is just a bodyguard, so I don't think there is anything wrong. It is natural to pay back debts, but this creditor happens to be speechless!"
"Okay, I think I have told you all the so-called truths that I can answer, and the question-and-answer session is now over!"
"ah!"
“So soon?”
"Not half an hour?"
Seeing the noisy reporters, the host Han Zhenyu said, "Everyone, please be quiet. The purpose of the press conference is not just a simple explanation meeting. We will also invite some special guests!"
"Come in!"
Zheng Xiuheng called out at the right time, and a small team of mainly young people including Li Zaiyuan, Lin Dazhong, Lin Zaiyou, etc., who were wearing suits outside, walked in, all wearing black suits and neat short flat heads.
Under the astonished eyes of the reporters, these people also stood on the stage and stood to the left of Zheng Xiuheng.
Amid the reporters' puzzled looks, Zheng Xiuheng smiled and said, "The nine people who are now on stage are members of the Sanlongdong Sect!"
"hiss!"
The reporters in the audience seemed to be frightened, looking forward with eyes full of confusion and nervousness...
"Of course, that's your opinion, not mine!"
"Looking at the reporters, they seem confused and don't understand what I mean. Now, let these nine people introduce themselves!"
Zheng Xiuheng's expression looked very subtle, but no one understood what was going on. However, when Lin Zaiyou, who was closest to Zheng Xiuheng, started to introduce him, the crowd fell silent.
"Hello, journalists. My name is Lin Zaiyou and I am 21 years old. I joined the Samryungdong sect about two years ago, but I am not actually from Seoul. I am from Busan and I am married now. I also have a two-year-old daughter!"
" About five years ago, when I was in the third grade of junior high school, my current wife and I started dating. But unexpectedly, we had a child three years ago. Both parents felt ashamed and angry. They wanted us to break up and abort the child. According to today's society, this is not a big deal, but... I didn't want to. We didn't want to abort our child, and we didn't think we had the right to do so, so we chose to resist and came to Seoul!"
"We survived in Seoul by working part-time, but not everything was so good. Not only was the salary too low, but there was also discrimination from Seoul people. At least the bosses and colleagues I worked with looked down on a country boy like me, and sometimes they would find excuses to deduct my salary. Although I met a neighbor lady who helped us, life was indeed very difficult!"
"Later, after the birth of my child, my family needed more money. However, I had already dropped out of school and couldn't find a good job. By chance, I joined a loan sharking company. Later, I learned that this was actually the Sanlong Cave, a gang!"
"Although I was conflicted, it didn't last long because I needed the money. This special job had flexible hours and I could still work part-time or set up a street stall, so I gradually got used to it. Even though there were frequent fights and potential dangers, they were not as exciting as the actual benefits. It was then that I realized I had really grown up. After leaving the protection of my parents and truly entering society, I realized that the true face of society was so cruel!"
"After the collapse of Sanlongdong, I was also investigated. Because I had a criminal record for fighting, I was almost included in the prosecution list, but in the end, I was only detained for a few days and then released from the police station!"
"Now, it may surprise everyone that I am working as an agent in an agency and my life has improved. This is probably my personal introduction!"
"My name is Li Zaiyuan..."
…
"I……"
It was surprising, really surprising, that not only the reporters, but also the netizens who watched the trial broadcast on the Internet were attracted by the stories of these former gang members, because these were truly unreserved stories about people that people normally cannot come into contact with and do not want to come into contact with.
The nine people's introductions were of varying lengths, with the longest lasting about five minutes and the shortest only one or two minutes, but the introductions of all nine people took almost half an hour.
During this half hour, everyone discovered that most of the reasons these people joined gangs were family-related, as well as choices made due to adolescent rebellion and life pressures.
In fact, as Zheng Xiuheng said , of course, people are out for money. Except for truly naive little kids who may yearn for such things, the more mature people are, the more helpless they are...
After listening to the introductions of these nine people, most people felt uncomfortable, especially for Lin Zaiyou, who was only 21 years old, but was already a parent and was working hard for his daughter and wife. It really made people wonder what to say.
The reporters were now a little confused and didn't know what questions to ask for a moment, but at this time, Zheng Xiuheng finally spoke.
