The peninsula is like a shadow

"Mei Yan, you are already forty years old, and you are still giving birth?"

"Why not? Everyone has it, but I don't. I won't do it."

Zhao Meiyan finally stayed by his side, even though she often left for a while on the pretext of needing to calm down. Li Yan touched her head,

"Are you sure? I have ten sons."

"To be exact, ten sons and six daughters. It's not a big deal if I give you another one. We agreed that we would divide the money between our babies."

This is not a matter of money, it involves many issues. Li Yan will of course agree with Mi Yan's idea, but this matter must be discussed with Bae Joo Hyun, and even a meeting is needed.

The reason for holding the meeting was simple. Some chaebols needed to have their properties confiscated. After all, the situation had stabilized and some accounts needed to be settled. Even if there were no accounts, one could still be made.

Li Yan feels that a chaebol group can no longer satisfy his needs. Shouldn't the chaebol that has oppressed the Korean people for many years be liquidated? Now that Chief Xu is in power, a white purge can be carried out.

"Oppa, I have a good friend who really wants to meet you."

"Stop, she wants to know me, I don't want to know her, Meiyan, look at me, I promise you, but stop, don't look for any more relatives."

"But she has a really nice figure."

"That's not OK."

Li Yan decisively refused and decided to officially announce the matter tonight. The fact that he liked idol artists has now become a burden. He was confused and there were a few more young girls around him, just like Min Zhou and Hui Yuan back then. When he found out, it was too late.

Li Yan, who no longer recognized the new girl, immediately received praise from all the women, and some even lined up to reward Li Yan for three days. Li Yan could only accept everyone's congratulations with a wry smile, and then for the first time he felt that he stopped too late, because he knew that he would get old sooner or later.

It was raining heavily on the day Commander Xu left. Li Yan saw him off as his son and knelt silently under the photo. Li Yan did not stand up for a long time. He had so many things to say, but for a while he could only respond with silence.

Around him were Changlong and Xiaoxian. Changlong was now a newcomer in the political arena, and at the height of his popularity, Li Yan gently waved his hand and asked him to leave. Looking at Xiaoxian's sad face, Li Yan tried hard to force a smile.
"Xiaoxian, you know I didn't embarrass my father-in-law, right?"

"Well, Dad loves you the most."

I know how much Commander Xu likes me. Li Yan couldn't find an accurate word to describe it. Perhaps from the day he began to accept me, he looked at me with the eyes of a father. No matter how much I acted foolishly or how hard I worked, he would eventually find a way to help me clean up the mess.

Sometimes, Li Yan felt that Commander Xu was his best friend, because he had helped him a lot, and because he and he could talk about anything, and they were close friends who could do great things together.

But when this day really came, Li Yan knew that there was actually a deeper relationship between him and Chief Xu. Li Yan turned around and touched Xiaoxian's face.

"My father-in-law was very happy when he passed away. He said that because of me, he had made unimaginable breakthroughs in his life. I was very happy that he could say that because I was happy for him too."

"Oppa~~~"

Xiaoxian hugged Li Yan, she had no other emotion except sadness. The successive deaths of her mother and father were too heavy for her. Although they were both expected at their ages and were happy funerals, sadness was sadness and there was no way to stop it.

Li Yan hugged Xiaoxian. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat his back gently.

~~~
Basong, the bastard, was also dying. He was lying on the hospital bed, staring at Li Yan. He didn't look at his own son, but waved his hand and asked them to leave.

"Brother, I can't hold on any longer. I can't stay with you anymore."

"Whatever you do with me, I'll prepare a meal for you."

"Hehehe, big brother, I'm happy for Basong. I didn't expect that big brother would accompany me at this last moment. The fortune teller said that I would not have a good ending. When I go down, I will kill him."

"What are you doing fighting and killing for? Just take a puff?"

Li Yan took off Basong's oxygen mask and passed the cigarette to Basong's mouth. Basong raised his head and took a sip. He didn't have the strength to exhale the smoke, so he let the smoke come out of his mouth and nose.
"Brother, don't forget Basong. Basong, Basong has a mark on his wrist. If you see it, remember to keep me with you."

"I know. The semicircular shape is ugly."

Li Yan said with a smile, but tears were streaming down his face. Basong couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Yan, but in the end he didn't say a word. His hand dropped weakly, but there was a happy smile on his face.

Basong had said before that he wanted to be buried at sea because he thought the sea was great, but Li Yan disagreed. He decided to keep Basong by his side in the future, so he reserved a place for Basong in the cemetery that had been prepared long ago. Basong had known about this for a long time, but he didn't say anything. However, he would always go there to visit after he had nothing to do.

Now, Basong has paved the way for him, and Li Yan has lost his most loyal brother.

"How should my life be evaluated? I don't want to be called the wise king of Korea. Changlong, you are the commander-in-chief now. Can you find a way to change it for me?"

Li Yan was lying on the hospital bed. He looked at his son in a suit and couldn't help asking a question. Li Changlong, the eldest son born to him by Xiaoxian, looked like him now.

Li Changlong shook his head. He was the current commander-in-chief of South Korea, but he was also an important figure in the Li family. However, no matter how important he was, Li Yan still had to make the decision on some matters. Looking around, Li Changlong approached Li Yan.
"Dad, don't worry about this anymore. What should we do with those aunts? Tell me."

Li Yan frowned, looked at his son, and said angrily,

"So what should I do? If I leave, they will be free."

"Dad, can you stop being such a jerk? What do you mean by freedom? You don't even have to do the math. You are eighty-eight, and the youngest of those concubines is only over sixty."

Li Yan looked at his sons and never expected that, among these sons who grew up, it was Xiaoxian's son who had the most stable personality. Everyone unanimously agreed to let him take over the power. As for the son born by Xiao Miao, who is now in control of the group, he is as smart as Bae Joo Hyun.

After thinking hard, Li Yan couldn't come up with any solution, so he just ignored it and waved his hand.

"I'm going to die soon, can't you just leave me alone? You rebellious son, you bastard."

"Dad, don't just keep scolding me. If you don't give me an explanation, there will definitely be trouble."

His son Changlong was obviously a little anxious. Li Yan looked at him and thought, what else can he say? The women he loved most had all passed away before him. These concubines were left behind by him because of his youth. In fact, they were all very obedient. Wouldn't it be enough to let them live a stable life?

"Dad, can you please hold on for a while longer? I can't bear to leave you."

Seeing the change in Li Yan's eyes, Changlong couldn't help sobbing softly. Li Yan reached out and touched his face, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just laughed.
"Haha~~"

Eleven sons and six daughters, these are the descendants of Li Yan in his life. This number is outrageous in modern times, but if you look at the appearance of the sons, you can know that this is actually the result of Li Yan's restraint. After all, one person is not too many.

Li Yan knew that this was his own fault, but there was nothing he could do. Eunbi, Minju and Huiyuan were all stubborn and gave birth to babies. As for Miyeon who ran away in the middle of the night, scene after scene played in Li Yan's mind, flashing like a revolving lantern. The beauty was so affectionate that he seemed to have no resistance to them. Li Yan tried to raise his arms. His body suddenly became weak at the age of 75. After that, in their words, he finally escaped from his torture.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help laughing again. He just said that as a man, his life was perfect. At his current age, Li Yan felt that he had really done something wrong. Every time he sent a lady away, Li Yan felt that he was one year older.

If not for this, he might be able to live to be over a hundred years old. The long-deceased Dr. Mingjing was still thinking about it. He wanted to see himself transformed again. He knew that he could definitely regain his youth. However, Dr. Mingjing's regret would never really happen. Li Yan knew that he had reached the end.

Having been strong all his life and having served as the commander-in-chief for three terms, he can be considered to have had a complete life. South Korea no longer listens to the Americans, and this is the origin of his wise king. As for the tyrant Commander Xu, Li Yan actually wanted to cry when he thought of this dear father-in-law.

My destiny is absolutely inseparable from the help of Commander Xu. Even though he was the one who asked me, a little gangster, to be taught a lesson when they first met, he gave me the greatest fatherly love, satisfied my biggest regret in childhood, and supported me on the road of life for so long.

Li Yan's funeral was very grand. The commander-in-chief and the new four great chaebols personally carried the coffin during the funeral. Although the five of them looked somewhat similar, no one could be sure that they were all the sons of the same person. After all, the power behind them was too great.

As for the large number of women in the team, everyone expressed their understanding. After all, when our Korean King was young, he was a very approachable person. There are so many people who like him. If you ask the group of old ladies in their sixties and seventies, you will find that there are so many people who are willing to follow the King.

Many people have their own guesses about how many female confidantes the King had and which one he loved the most. After all, when Bae Joo-hyun, Yoo Ji-min, Seohyun, and Yoona passed away, the King was present as a family member, and looking at the sad expression on the King's face, it was definitely not fake.

Li Yan walked through a long section of fog. He was not unfamiliar with this place. He even felt a sense of familiarity. He had escaped death several times here. Li Yan stretched out his hand and let the mist float through his fingers. He knew the direction, so he just had to keep moving forward.

His body had recovered to its strongest state. Li Yan could hardly remember whether he was in his twenties or thirties, but it felt good to have his strength back.

The two familiar doors appeared in front of Li Yan again, but this time there was an extra gatekeeper at the door. He was shrouded in black mist and seemed to be looking at Li Yan, but also seemed to be in a daze.

Li Yan looked at the door on the left curiously, and asked the black fog guarding the door with a smile,

"Is this heaven? It's full of good people, right?"

"Yes."

"So did all the people I loved go to heaven?"

Hearing Li Yan's question, Black Mist moved and said in a hoarse voice,
"I don't know. As long as a person lives, there are always some sins left on him."

Sulli, Hara tried to commit suicide, Bae Joo-hyun, Yoona, Seohyun, maybe every girl carries the so-called original sin. Li Yan smiled and walked up to the man in black.

"Just tell me they all went to heaven. You know, I spent a lot of money on it."

The man in black seemed to be intimidated by Li Yan's aura. He looked at the big hand on his shoulder and nodded slightly. After getting the answer he wanted, Li Yan took a step back. He was very hesitant because he didn't know what choice he should make.

Li Yan finally pushed open the door on the left. Behind the door was a long corridor with unusually bright light.

"Everyone has sinned no matter what their reasons are. But you will make a comprehensive assessment, am I right?"

The man in black did not answer, but remained silent and even lowered his head.

Li Yan looked at the gatekeeper and said with a smile,

"So we have to follow your rules here, right? Can I go to heaven too?"

"Your sins are great, but your good deeds are equally admirable."

This was the gatekeeper's answer to Li Yan. Li Yan lowered his raised foot and suddenly turned to walk towards another door.

"Then I choose this door."

Li Yan's choice was obviously beyond the black-clothed man's expectations. The black-clothed man almost subconsciously asked,

"why?"

"Good people are always bullied by bad people. If possible, I hope I am the one who bullies them. I am afraid that one of them will end up here."

Li Yan smiled and pushed open the door on the right. There was also a passage behind the door, but it was pitch black without a trace of light. The endless darkness seemed to swallow Li Yan.

"Death is just walking out of the time and place you set. If I were still myself, I wouldn't have any fear. I'm just worried. Since I'm worried, then I have no other choice. Not having a choice is actually a choice, right?"

This time Li Yan did not hesitate. After he finished speaking, he stepped into the door on the right.

Li Yan saw a familiar smile, very beautiful, just like the first time he saw her in the studio many years ago, but this time, there were tears on her face. She took a step forward and held Li Yan's hand.

"I said, if possible, I hope to pick you up when you are wandering. Look, I did it this time. I am the first person to pick you up. You must listen to me in the future and only like me. You will protect me, right, just like before?"

"I would never have thought you'd be here."

"So, you agreed, right?"

"Do I have any other choice?"

Li Yan laughed, gently picked up Bae Joo Hyun, kissed her tearful cheek, and strode into the darkness. The eerie black corridor became as relaxing as an amusement park because of his laughter.

"Oppa, will someone bully us soon?"

"Just watch me beat them up."

"Hey~~ Oppa, look, is there a puppy in front?"

"Don't look at it, it must be Basong. That bastard must be in hell as an animal. Look at the dog's leg to see if there is a mark."

"Really, there is one~~ It's semicircular."
