Chapter 176 The Military Dogs

Under Gui Mengjun's reassurance, Su Tianbei ultimately didn't act. He could only watch as his brother-in-law was escorted onto a military vehicle and driven towards the 10th Infantry Division's base.

Su Tianbei took out his phone and, amidst his niece's cries, dialed a number…

…

Along the way, Gui Mengjun remained calm and composed, sitting quietly.

However, Noah didn't make things difficult for Gui Mengjun, and there was no interaction between them.

Soon, the convoy entered the base compound and stopped in front of an open area.

"Bang!"

The door was flung open, and Noah, with two soldiers, escorted Gui Mengjun out of the vehicle.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Along the edge of the nearby wall, rows of iron dog cages were placed, containing a large number of military dogs. Sensing the presence of strangers, these dogs became alert, barking wildly from their cages.

Several soldiers stepped forward and used batons to strike the cages, trying to quiet the dogs.

Gui Mengjun surveyed his surroundings, his brow furrowed.

Noah personally opened one of the largest cages and pointed inside at Gui Mengjun, saying, "Go in and squat down!"

Gui Mengjun stood there, unmoving.

Noah, with a mocking expression, said in fluent Chinese, "I want to tell you, this is District One, not your poor and backward place. Here, you have no noble status. You should be grateful to the military dogs in these cages, because only they won't despise you."

Hearing this, Gui Mengjun looked at him calmly, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.

Noah's face darkened. He took out a baton and struck the cage hard, "Get in! Or do you want to suffer some physical pain here?"

Looking at Noah's demeanor, Gui Mengjun suddenly smiled, "You won't necessarily be the last one laughing in Dragon City."

Having said that, Gui Mengjun stepped into the iron cage, but didn't squat down.

"Clang!"

Noah closed the iron cage, locked it, and looked at Gui Mengjun inside, "Enjoy the night."

After mocking him, Noah turned and left. The Dragon City temperature began to drop at night. A cold wind blew gently, and the sound of dogs barking rose and fell.

Gui Mengjun gazed at the rusty dog cage, silent and also realizing that the situation in Dragon City was more complicated than he had thought.

The rise of Lao Li's (Old Li's) team had already touched the interests of former close associates.

Noah returned to his regimental headquarters and didn't bother with Gui Mengjun. He even gathered several guards, sat in front of the television, drank beer, and watched the game.

…

Twenty minutes later, the Anti-Terrorism Bureau compound.

"Ooh-ooh—" The assembly call sounded in the compound, and special forces soldiers, fully armed and carrying automatic rifles, jumped onto the military vehicles waiting in the yard.

The deputy director personally led the team. He wore a tactical helmet, got into the armed pickup truck at the front, and ordered into the walkie-talkie, "Departure!"

The heavy engines roared, eight armed pickup trucks led the way, and five military vehicles followed behind, filled with special forces soldiers, heading towards the 10th Infantry Division's base.

…

Ten minutes later, Su Tianyu left the dinner party with a grim expression and hurried downstairs. Outside, Gu Baishun had been waiting for a long time and reached out to open the car door for him.

After getting into the car, Lao Guo (Old Guo), who was driving, stepped on the gas pedal and headed straight for the base.

Su Tianyu asked with a gloomy face, "Have the two battalions from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau gone over?"

"Don't worry, they've already reached the outer perimeter of the base," Gu Baishun nodded.

Hearing the two talking, Lao Guo couldn't help but curse as he drove, "Damn it! This bunch is really courting death! Giving them an inch, they take a mile! Daring to shit on our heads!"

"Ring-a-ling!"

Just as Lao Guo was cursing, Su Tianyu's phone rang, and Lao Guo immediately fell silent.

Su Tianyu answered the phone and saw that it was Lao Li calling. He quickly answered, "Hello, Leader."

Li Mingsheng's voice was low, "Your brother-in-law has been arrested?"

Su Tianyu's eyes showed a haze, "Yes, they summoned him on the charge of a foreign national being suspected of engaging in espionage activities."

Li Mingsheng urged Su Tianyu, "You must use your brain. They are deliberately trying to anger you at this time to find an excuse to continue increasing troops to Dragon City! You must handle this matter well! Even if we take action, wanting to fight back, we must stand on the right side and not give the other party any ammunition! The Cold War has already begun, find your position, don't let personal emotions affect your decisions!"

Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I know."

The two hung up the phone. Su Tianyu thought for a long time, then turned to Gu Baishun beside him and instructed, "You tell the people from the General Intelligence Bureau to immediately create a file and enter my brother-in-law's name into it, appointing him as a specially invited military advisor to the General Intelligence Bureau, proving that he came to Dragon City to attend a meeting, understand? After it's done, send it to the outer perimeter of the base, I'm waiting for it!"

Gu Baishun said softly, "Don't worry, I've already ordered it."

Su Tianyu took a deep look at Gu Baishun and said nothing more.

After explaining these matters, Su Tianyu did not communicate with the 10th Infantry Division's base, but continued to drive there.

…

Around nine o'clock, the car stopped at the outer perimeter of the base.

At this time, the Anti-Terrorism Bureau's military vehicles had already arrived.

The special forces soldiers stood outside the vehicles, each with a blank expression, waiting for combat orders. Eight armed pickup trucks also pointed their machine guns at the direction of the base.

At the gate of the base, two regiments were also stationed there, holding their guns and staring at the Anti-Terrorism Bureau's troops, as if they were about to start a war at any moment.

Su Tianyu rolled down the car window, and a secretary from the General Intelligence Bureau ran over breathlessly and handed Gui Mengjun's file to him, "Bureau, Bureau Chief...the file is ready."

"Mm." Su Tianyu took it and flipped through it roughly.

"Report!" The deputy director of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau jogged over, stood in front of Su Tianyu, and saluted him, "The first and second battalions of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau are assembled and ready to launch an attack at any time!"

"Don't move for now," Su Tianyu instructed, turned around, and handed the information to Gu Baishun, who was sitting next to him, and instructed him, "You go in, take this information, and tell them that Gui Mengjun is our General Intelligence Bureau's military intelligence advisor and will be attending a meeting with us tomorrow. Tell them to release him immediately and tell that division commander directly that if I don't see my brother-in-law within three hours, this incident will escalate, understand?"

"Understood!" Gu Baishun didn't hesitate at all, took the file, pushed the door open, and, under the protection of several special forces soldiers, strode towards the gate of the base.

…

At the same time, the City Defense Army base.

Tan Mingchao had just returned home, taken off his coat, taken a shower, and was about to rest.

"Ring-a-ling!"

The phone placed on the bedside rang. Tan Mingchao answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Report!" An intelligence officer's voice came from the phone, "The new garrison and the General Intelligence Bureau are at odds. Su Tianyu has arrived at the gate of the other party's base with two battalions from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau. There may be movement tonight!"

Tan Mingchao paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "Both sides know what's what, they can't possibly fight."
