Chapter 171 What is Love?

Longkou District, next to a certain street.

Su Tianyu stood in the alley, dialing Lao Hei's number, "Hey? What's your current location?"

"I'm protecting Lao Li from the side." Lao Hei replied immediately, "There are too many people around him. I just got a bead on him."

"What's the situation?" Su Tianyu asked immediately.

"Not good. They're trapped in the park behind the high-ranking cadre's residential area. The anti-terrorism team has suffered a lot of casualties." Lao Hei said with a serious tone, "I can't get close either. There are snipers everywhere. Going in is suicide."

Su Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "Have someone come pick me up. I'm in the alley next to the Jia Jia Fu supermarket on Liunan Street. Bring a gun."

"Okay!" Lao Hei replied.

"Bang, bang!"

Just as he hung up the phone, Su Tianyu heard gunshots coming from his left. He turned his head sharply and saw Li Yuan and seven or eight others being chased.

"Damn it, get in the car, run them over!" Su Tianyu immediately roared at Da Bai.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone got back in the car.

…

New York City.

Recently, An Qiqi happened to be attending a conference in New York City with several experts from the exploration team and was also preparing to take the opportunity to go to the surrounding islands for work.

After An Qiqi finished her phone call, she immediately changed into a pair of sneakers. Without even putting on socks, she rushed out of the hotel room.

In the hallway, a female colleague who shared a room with An Qiqi asked in surprise, "Where are you going, in such a hurry?"

"I… I have some family matters. Please ask Professor Yang for a leave of absence for me." An Qiqi replied hurriedly and rushed into the elevator.

"Be careful!"

The female colleague shouted with concern.

When she got downstairs, An Qiqi remembered that she was at the geological exploration park hotel, which was some distance from the regular streets, and calling a cab now would obviously be a waste of time.

In a fit of anger, An Qiqi clenched her small fists, swung her long legs, and ran wildly, preparing to cross the park and hail a cab on the surrounding streets.

In this world, when you are riding high, it is difficult to distinguish true friendship, love, or even family, but when you are down on your luck, you may understand what kind of feelings are worth cherishing.

At this moment, An Qiqi didn't think about anything else. She was just very concerned about Su Tianyu and didn't want to see him in danger, nor did she want to see the association he had worked so hard to build collapse like this.

Of course, An Qiqi was also concerned about Yu Mingyuan, and even Da Bai, Zhou Tonghui, and Kong Zhenghui, but that was a different kind of feeling from love.

An Qiqi didn't know when she fell in love with Su Tianyu. Perhaps it was that night after the drunken night at the Old Soldier Bar, when Su Tianyu took her to shout by the river; or when she was sick and Su Tianyu took a plane to Huadu out of impulse…

Or perhaps, it was the ideal that An Qiqi discussed with Su Tianyu on the island.

What is love? What is liking?

Perhaps it's just a feeling in that instant.

The stars are shining, and you are the only one in my eyes!

An Qiqi had always been uninterested in politics and never asked about her parents' work. In college, she never engaged in any exchange of benefits with her classmates. The friends she hung out with were all like-minded, and no one made excessive demands on each other.

But today, An Qiqi had gone crazy. She ran tiredly, panting, wanting to go home and make a willful request to her parents for once.

…

Dragon City.

Yu Mingyuan had already arrived at Wen Zhanbo's brigade headquarters, but the guards wouldn't let him in.

"I just want to say a few words to Uncle Wen!" Yu Mingyuan roared excitedly.

The guard looked at him with some embarrassment, "The brigade commander is not seeing anyone right now."

"Just let me in to say a few words…!"

"Mingyuan, do you think the brigade commander doesn't know what you want to say? Does it make sense to do this?" The guard looked at him helplessly and replied, "If he wants to do it, he doesn't need you to say anything; if he doesn't want to do it, it's useless for you to see him."

Yu Mingyuan stared at him for a few seconds, then immediately stepped aside and called his uncle, Lao An, again, but the line was busy.

…

On the other side, the shootout location on Liunan Street.

Su Tianyu leaned against the alley wall, holding a gun and shouting, "Any more magazines?"

"No, all gone." A member of the anti-terrorism team shook his head. "They're not from the judicial department. They're hired thugs that the Bao Long Group brought in from outside the district. These guys are crazy. They even dare to attack law enforcement personnel!"

"Damn it!" Su Tianyu squatted in the alley, veins popping out on his forehead, and roared, "I almost lost my life several times. Now that we're just starting to see some hope, no one can let us fall like this!"

After saying that, Su Tianyu skillfully removed a bulletproof vest from a wounded man, put it on with red eyes, and roared, "There are only four or five of them left. Anyone who dares to risk their life, come out and hold them down with me!"

Two members of the anti-terrorism team looked at Su Tianyu with some hesitation. They were also afraid and didn't want to die like this.

Su Tianyu didn't make things difficult for them and just stepped out of the alley.

"Da da da…!"

The fierce gunshots rang out again. Da Bai, who was usually timid in fights, and Zhou Tonghui, who wore glasses and looked refined, picked up pistols from the ground and rushed out as if their lives depended on it.

"Get him!" Zhou Tonghui was the young master of a big family. Although he had handled guns and shot at targets, he had hardly ever aimed at people. He roared madly, waving his gun and jumping around, trying to relieve some of the pressure on Su Tianyu.

The three brothers ran together, wanting to rush over and rescue Li Yuan.

"Weng, weng…!"

Just then, a burst of surging engine sounds rang out. Lao Hei's brothers arrived at the scene, directly blocked the opposite alley entrance, and sprayed a burst of gunfire with a light machine gun.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tonghui fell to the ground, covered in sweat, his legs so weak that he couldn't stand up at all.

Su Tianyu took two breaths, ran into a supermarket, and dragged out Li Yuan, who had been shot, "How are you?!"

"… Save… Save the leader… He is a leader, he cannot fall!" Li Yuan's consciousness was a little blurry, but at this moment he was still concerned about the mayor.

Li Yuan didn't come from a particularly good background. His parents were both teachers. He was able to get to where he was today thanks to Li Mingsheng's patronage.

And in Li Yuan's heart, Li Mingsheng was also a person worth following, because he wanted to do things, he had ideals and ambitions, and he also had personal charm.

Su Tianyu swallowed and waved his hand, roaring, "Tonghui, carry him away, quick!"

…

Fifteen minutes later.

Inside the An family villa.

An's mother sat on the sofa, making a phone call.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the door made a loud noise, and a woman covered in sweat, with messy hair and a flushed face, ran in panting. Her sneakers were also covered in mud.

An's mother was shocked, "You… Did you come back from the mental hospital?"

"Mom… Help Brother Yuan, help Xiao Yu, he… they…" An Qiqi wiped the sweat from her forehead, swallowed, and added, "They are worth political investment!"

An's mother narrowed her eyes and looked at her, "I remember you never asked about this kind of thing. Why are you being so unusual this time? Give me a reason!"

"…I read the mine disaster news. I don't want him to lose." An Qiqi replied, panting, "I also don't want the association to lose. Chinese leaders should speak for the Chinese. Mom, I have always believed that you and Dad are upright people, and I am proud to be your daughter."

"Stop trying to flatter me!" An's mother curled her lips and scolded, "I gave birth to you. If I don't understand you, then what kind of mother am I?!"

"Where's Dad?" An Qiqi asked.

"Gone, just left."

"Then he…?"

"Fortunately, your dad's political views are the same as your request." An's mother replied calmly, "Go take a shower."

…

Outside Dragon City, at the garrison brigade headquarters.

Wen Zhanbo held the phone and asked bluntly, "Old chief, tell me the truth, have you also taken sides?!"
