Chapter 1 After One Day

One day later, at a hospital in Man City.

In a clean and bright hospital room, Gwen lay on the bed, gently clutching his heart, his face pale.

A young nurse carefully gave Gwen an injection, accidentally pricking him slightly. "I'm sorry, sir, you...!"

"Get out! I don't need it anymore, get out!"

Gwen cursed like a mad dog.

The nurse glanced at him with disgust, took the medical supplies, and pushed open the door, bumping into the leader of the action team who was coming in.

"Director."

The action team leader walked to Gwen's side and reported on their work, forcing himself to remain calm.

"Wu Boxin is gone, Wu Taiyong is also gone, and Su Tianbei hasn't been caught... However, we caught a lot of people at the port. According to the investigation, they should all be from the local Changqing Company. We are currently interrogating them..."

"…!"

Gwen looked at him coldly and waved his hand impatiently. The action team leader immediately shut his mouth.

At this point, Gwen was no longer concerned about the lower levels. He was thinking about how to report to the higher-ups and how to cover up this mess.

The thought of it made Gwen's head spin.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

The phone next to his pillow suddenly rang.

Annoyed, Gwen didn't want to answer it, but when he saw the caller ID, he immediately sat up and quickly picked up the phone, pressing the answer button: "Hello, Minister...!"

"Damn pig! Son of a bitch! Your stupid command has turned Man City, which has been rated the safest city in the Second District for three consecutive years, into Gotham...!"

A fluent and standard string of European curses came from the phone. Gwen frowned and glanced at the action team leader with gloomy eyes. The latter immediately took two steps back and naturally walked to the window.

The other party cursed for a full five minutes.

"Do you know that the resources I gave you, even if a donkey were in charge, it could have put that damn Su Tianbei in jail for me! How am I supposed to report to the higher-ups? How am I supposed to explain this to Man City?!"

"Minister, we have arrested a lot of bandits here and are currently interrogating them."

Gwen finally opened his mouth to explain, "I will definitely handle the follow-up events properly."

"I don't want to hear this, you idiot!" The voice on the other end of the phone was still roaring, "There must be a big fish among the bandits you are currently interrogating, a big fish that is enough to make up for your stupidity! Otherwise, God won't be able to save you. Keep an eye on that Changqing Company. They just joined the other side. You should be able to dig something out!"

"Beep beep beep."

"Bang!"

Gwen was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he violently threw the phone on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Director, Director... are you alright?" the action team leader asked with concern.

Gwen suddenly raised his head, staring straight at the action team leader and asked, "We caught a director from the Quantong Bureau at the port, right?"

The action team leader was stunned, but having worked in the system for so many years, he immediately reacted and nodded and bowed in reply, "Yes, Director, we not only caught a director from the Quantong Bureau, but also two important liaisons."

"Find a way to confirm the director's identity, so I can report to the higher-ups, okay?" Gwen said, clutching his chest.

"Okay!" the action team leader nodded.

"The Quantong Bureau ran away, the Huagong Association ran away, and people are missing, but Changqing Company can't run away. Lock down that Old Yang for me. I want to make an example of him!"

…

Bana City.

Su Tianyu had stayed up all night, and his eyes were a little red. He sat at the table, holding his phone, and was talking to Old Yang under Lu Feng's arrangement.

"I have already learned about the situation in Man City. Don't worry, I will definitely help you gain a foothold there. In addition, I have also arranged for the media here. We need you to cooperate with us, so we can exert our strength at any time. Also, try to contact the local Man City residents' organizations. They must also be dissatisfied. If you can communicate and cooperate, it doesn't matter if you spend some money."

"Understood, Director Su, leave it to me."

Old Yang agreed readily on the other end of the phone.

Although Changqing Company suffered a considerable loss in this incident, the Quantong Bureau immediately paid out the compensation. This efficient way of handling things also satisfied Old Yang.

In addition, with Lu Feng as an intermediary, Old Yang still trusted Su Tianyu. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to exert so much effort in Man City just after being incorporated.

After hanging up the phone, Su Tianyu turned to look at Lu Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, have Old Yang's family members been brought out?"

"Don't worry about that. I have already arranged for people to take away the family members of the company's senior executives." Lu Feng replied softly.

"Good."

Su Tianyu nodded, "That's it then. Expedite the matter as soon as possible and help Old Yang gain a firm foothold in Man City."

An Qiqi, sitting to one side, held a water cup in her small hands and suddenly reminded, "Xiao Yu, I think we can use Wu Boxin. Everyone has suffered such great losses for his sake. It's not an excessive request to have him contribute a little."

Su Tianyu's eyes lit up, "You're something, Bao... Comrade Qiqi."

An Qiqi paused slightly, then smoothly changed the subject, "The reason we're looking for him is because of his influence in the Second District. Let him secretly contact his connections to create a public opinion effect. The Central Bureau will be very uncomfortable."

"Okay, I'll call Old Huang." Su Tianyu took out his phone and called Huang Peishan directly.

"Hello, Director Su." Huang Peishan's voice rang out.

"Here's the thing, we just discussed it and want to use Wu Boxin on the Man City matter."

Su Tianyu got straight to the point, "Arrange it. I want to talk to Wu Boxin on the phone."

"Sure."

Huang Peishan agreed readily, "But he hasn't arrived at the safe house yet. Let me contact the person in charge of escorting him first, and have him call you later."

"He hasn't arrived at the safe house yet?"

Su Tianyu asked strangely, "Where did you transport him to?"

"We're going by water, and we're afraid to take a big ship, so it's more troublesome."

Huang Peishan sighed, "And we're worried about another traitor appearing, so we're using fewer people to ensure his absolute safety. Don't worry, I'll make a call and have them contact you."

"Okay, let me get in touch with him as soon as possible. The situation in Man City is also very urgent. We need him."

"Alright, I understand."

The two ended the call. An Qiqi looked at Su Tianyu and asked, "How's the situation with Old Huang?"

"He's already on the ship and on his way back to Bana City." Su Tianyu said softly, "We have to prepare quickly too. Once Wu Boxin comes back, we have to have a good chat with him. Especially the Wu Taiyong line is very important. When necessary, he can do a lot of work. If there are no problems, we have to start planning as soon as possible. I've already thought about the framework and name of the new Joint Association."

"What name?" An Qiqi asked with a smile.

"The Chinese League Association, abbreviated as—the Hua Tong Association!"

…

Second District, port.

Wang An stood on the dock, his gaze deep, watching a small fishing boat gradually sail away.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Hello? ...Secretary-General Li... Yes, Wu Boxin has boarded the ship..."
