Chapter 1 A Long Night

Su Tianyu, having been a soldier, possessed a high level of alertness. He immediately recognized the voice of the person calling his name. Turning his head, he saw Da Xiong standing behind a dilapidated tin shack, his left hand gripping the wall, looking at him weakly.

"Xiao…Xiao Yu-ge…I…I…!" Da Xiong muttered twice, then lowered his head and was about to fall.

Su Tianyu immediately stepped forward to support him, turning his head to look around as he replied, "Get in the car first!"

…

This year's Lunar New Year's Day was truly a long night. Yesterday, around six or seven in the evening, Su Tianyu and the others were visiting the Bai family. By late at night, Da Xiong had killed five people chasing him in the garbage dump. And as time entered the second half of the night, things outside the district became very intense, with three waves of chaotic battles continuing until dawn.

Thinking carefully, on this morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, not only would the Bai family have to hold a funeral, but the Tang family, the Xu family, including the Yang family of the police department, as well as the families of the policemen who were killed, might also face the cremation of their loved ones.

Su Tianyu helped Da Xiong into the car, sat in the driver's seat, lit a cigarette, carefully considered things in his mind, and then started the car and drove away.

On the way, Su Tianyu called Kong ZhengHui on his phone, "Hey, do you have any medicine at home for treating external injuries on dogs?"

Kong ZhengHui was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"If you do, get some for me. Tianbei went to the hospital, his dog is injured, and he wants me to help him get it."

"Ah, I think so, I'm at the hospital too, I'll have someone find it for you."

"Get some good medicine, it's a pretty serious injury," Su Tianyu replied with a frown.

"Got it, where should I send it?"

"When you get it, call me and I'll come pick it up," Su Tianyu replied.

"Okay," Kong ZhengHui hung up the phone directly.

Su Tianyu turned his head to look at Da Xiong, "You're really fucking stupid!"

Da Xiong was disoriented and didn't reply.

Inside the hospital, Kong ZhengHui said to his cousin, "Go to Old Wang's place on Tufang Street and get some medicine for treating external injuries, medicine for treating gunshot wounds, and send it to Su Tianyu. Don't use your phone to call his mobile phone, get a new number."

"What's up?" his cousin asked.

"Don't ask, just send it," Kong ZhengHui had already guessed what Su Tianyu was going to do, so he didn't ask too much on the phone, but he chose to help with this matter, probably for the sake of Gou Liuzi.

"Got it," his cousin nodded.

…

Around 12 PM, inside a cargo warehouse of the Mingyuan Trading Company.

Su Tianyu rolled up his sleeves, tore open the clothing around Da Xiong's two gunshot wounds, and looked down at the wounds, "Da Xiong, did you call home?"

"No…no…no," Da Xiong already had a high fever, his eyes closed, disoriented, "I…I don't have a home anymore."

"It's good not to have a home, you're free, you can do whatever you want!" Su Tianyu replied to Da Xiong as if he were chatting, his left hand holding a medical tweezers, inserting it into Da Xiong's wound, widening the flesh, then his right hand pinched the head of the oval-shaped medical pliers, and decisively went deep into Da Xiong's wound.

"Ah!!!" Da Xiong opened his eyes suddenly in pain, slamming his right fist hard on the wooden board.

Old Wang, whom Kong ZhengHui found, wouldn't sell him any anesthetics or controlled drugs, because it wasn't too difficult to investigate the sales channels and sources of these things.

Su Tianyu looked down at Da Xiong's oozing wound, and asked in a very calm tone, "Da Xiong, are you afraid of killing someone?"

"No…not afraid, they deserve…deserve to die!"

"That's right! That's how life is, whether you live it in a grumbling way or do whatever you want, it's still just one day," Su Tianyu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, "People, it's better to be free and easy than anything else."

Da Xiong gritted his teeth, "Xiao…Xiao Yu-ge…I won't shout. Shouting will cause trouble, and implicate you! You do it, I can handle it."

Su Tianyu looked up at him in surprise, his mind paused for a moment, "Why did you break out of prison?"

"I…I couldn't take it anymore, they bullied me…bullied me to death, I'm scared of prison."

"Ah?!" Su Tianyu responded while suddenly using the medical pliers to clamp the bullet in Da Xiong's shoulder, and directly gouged it upwards.

"Tss!"

As soon as the bullet pressing on the blood vessel came out, blood couldn't stop spraying out.

Su Tianyu immediately used tweezers to clamp a medical cotton ball and pressed it on Da Xiong's wound, whispering, "Do you want a drink?"

"No need…you do it," Da Xiong was about to crush his teeth, but he never shouted too loudly from beginning to end.

In the dim light, Su Tianyu quickly treated Da Xiong's most severe wound.

…

Around 2 PM.

Inside the Zha Nan Wharf Gang's hall, Xu Er's body was placed in the main hall, Xu Hu sat on a chair with a gloomy face, talking to the people from the Wharf Workers' General Association.

In the courtyard, a large number of Wharf Gang members came to pay their respects, and Xu Er's youngest son followed his unofficial stepmother, wearing mourning clothes, wailing loudly.

At the gate of the courtyard, Xu Er's lackey shouted on the phone, "Burial, when will the coffin be delivered? Are you stupid?! Living people can wait for you for four or five days, can dead people wait?"

"Brother, there are a lot of burials today, we can't make it! The Tang family also wants to order a coffin here, I'm pulling back the wood now," the other party replied with distress, "Second Brother died too suddenly, I really wasn't prepared…"

"I'll fuck your mother!" The lackey flared up on the spot, "Can you speak human language?! I'm telling you, you have to deliver the coffin to me tomorrow!"

"…Okay, I'll try my best."

"It must be delivered!" The lackey shouted and hung up the phone directly.

In the largest woodworking shop in Zha Nan District, the boss squinted and cursed, "Damn, this isn't even the peak season for deaths, who can keep so much coffin wood in stock?! He starts cursing as soon as he opens his mouth, with no quality at all! If you piss me off, I have to hammer two hidden nails under your coffin, so that your descendants will be unfortunate."

…

While the people from the Wharf Gang in Tianhong Port were attending the funeral, six men landed at the civilian port. The leader had a very terrifying appearance, half of his entire left face was stuck together, looking all red and fleshy, as if it had been burned.

The six men stood together, the leader looking down at his watch and saying, "Damn, a business trip on public funds, I heard the boss isn't short of money, so let's do whatever makes us comfortable. Let's find a good restaurant to eat, and spend the night with some women." (Piao - slang for prostitute)

"Okay!"

"What's up, before I get reimbursed, I still have to pay out of pocket?" the person behind asked.

"Haha, okay, you pay first."

"…Damn, I don't trust him, if I can't get the money back, you have to give it to me."

"Deal!" The half-faced man nodded and led everyone into the port.

…

Inside the warehouse.

Su Tianyu put a bowl of instant noodles in front of Da Xiong, "Eat something!"

Da Xiong blinked his eyes as he looked at Gou Liuzi, his heart was very sensitive and his emotions were very complicated.

Su Tianyu opened his mobile phone and browsed the official media of Dragon City, the headline was a police reward of 100,000 yuan for the arrest of the fierce criminal Wu Shixiong who killed a policeman…
