Chapter 36 Trouble Comes

On a gravel road by the sea.

Xu Hu looked blankly at his own brother lying on the ground, hacked more than twenty times, his expression dull.

Bai Hongtao was Bai Dabiao's own flesh and blood. Wasn't Xu Er the brother Xu Hu depended on?

Emotionally, Xu Hu's heartache, surprise, anger, and all kinds of negative emotions at this moment were no less than Bai Dabiao's. Ever since the two brothers joined the Ma Gang (docks gang), no matter how much of a scoundrel Xu Er was outside, he had always listened to his elder brother. Da Feng Novel

With a single word from his brother, Xu Er didn't even return to Dragon City for the New Year's Eve, staying in the outer district, personally handling the Liang Feng incident, which was enough to show the relationship between the two brothers.

Xu Hu held it in for a long time, clutching his chest and saying to the middle-aged man beside him, "Call... call Gu Tongshan and tell him my brother is dead, now, immediately!"

...

A little after four in the morning, Dragon City urban area.

Yu Jinrong, wearing a suit, walked out of his apartment building, bent over and got into a car with military license plates.

In the back seat, a man in plainclothes, with his hands crossed, asked Yu Jinrong, "Are you going?"

Yu Jinrong waved his hand directly when he heard the sound, "I am also considered a public official, asking me to run to the Ma Gang and sit down with Gu Tongshan to talk, that's too much of a compliment to him."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, "Then let Xiao Feng go."

"Alright." Yu Jinrong looked down at his watch. "Xiao Feng goes, should we find a place for tea?"

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded and looked up to order, "Let's go, back to my place."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car left Yu's house and headed straight for a villa in the suburbs near a garrison unit.

...

Longkou District, inside an apartment building.

Gu Tongshan frowned, and said in a low voice to Xu Hu, "If they are at the garrison, don't do anything for now. I'll call the higher-ups immediately."

"How long will it take?" Xu Hu pressed.

Gu Tongshan held it in for a long time, "At most half an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xu Hu hung up the phone.

"Damn it!" Gu Tongshan gritted his teeth and cursed, "Yu Jinrong is too rampant, directly killing Xu Er. He definitely didn't come just for the offshore business."

"Yes, what do you think we should do?"

"Forget it, I'll call the military..."

"Ring Ring!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Tongshan's cell phone rang first, "Hello? Lao Zhang!"

"The battalion commander Xiao Feng of the Third Battalion on the Longjiang River just called me and asked me to set up a meeting with you, to chat." The caller was also a veteran of the Ma Gang General Association, with wide connections.

"What does he want?"

"He must be speaking for the Yu family. Do you want to meet him?"

"……!" Gu Tongshan pondered for a long time, walked around in the living room, and replied, "Meet, I'll bring the Navy people with me."

"Okay, that's it then. I'll arrange the place, and you can just go."

"Okay." Gu Tongshan hung up the phone.

On the sofa, the man who was giving advice asked, "What does the garrison showing up mean?"

"Obviously, the other side is testing the relationship behind us." Gu Tongshan pondered for a moment, "I'll go put on my clothes, let's go out together."

"Alright!"

Ten minutes later, Gu Tongshan and the man went downstairs together and took a car to the meeting place.

...

Inside Patrol Outpost No. 04.

Kong ZhengHui reached out and patted Su Tianyu's shoulder, "Let's go, to the toilet."

Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment and followed.

The two left the barracks together and came to the outdoor toilet. Su Tianyu unbuckled his belt and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think the garrison can cover us?" Kong ZhengHui asked.

"Why do you ask that?" Su Tianyu replied calmly.

"Damn it, although Xu Hu is a runner, the person behind him... we definitely can't afford to offend." Kong ZhengHui said with some worry, "Xu Er is dead, things will definitely blow up. If the person behind Xu Hu also gets anxious, thinking we've gone too far, can the garrison still cover us?"

Su Tianyu looked at him, "What you're trying to say is that the relationship between the Yu family and the garrison might not be as strong as the relationship between the Ma Gang and the customs, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Kong ZhengHui nodded. "The Yu family just came to Dragon City, but the Ma Gang is different. They've been entrenched in the port for more than ten years, managing the ground and creating profits for the higher-ups... To put it bluntly, they are pure vassals, black gloves, you know what I mean."

Su Tianyu nodded slowly.

"Mingyuan stayed, which means the Yu family is definitely protecting us." Kong ZhengHui continued to add, "But what if the garrison only protects the Yu family and not us? What do we do?"

Su Tianyu once again felt deeply that Kong ZhengHui was indeed a very meticulous person, and he was very rigorous in his thinking no matter what the situation.

"If the garrison doesn't care about us, and the higher-ups can't come to an agreement, then even if we return to the city, we can't escape the Ma Gang's knife." Kong ZhengHui said with a very ugly face, "It's likely that our whole family will have to run away."

Su Tianyu fastened his belt, reached out and patted Kong ZhengHui on the shoulder and replied, "Sometimes, people who think too much actually suffer themselves. We are just pawns now, you don't need to worry about things that the boss should worry about. People are already dead, what's the use of thinking about these things now?"

"You have to think about what to do next!"

"Go ask your dad, he hesitated for so long just now, but finally took the knife. What was he thinking at the time?" Su Tianyu asked.

Kong ZhengHui was stunned.

"...The three old men have experienced everything, they can think of what you can think of." Su Tianyu said again in a low voice, "It's already done, don't worry about it. We'll just listen to how the higher-ups handle it. If the Ma Gang really forces us to run away, then I can guarantee you that Xu Hu won't have it easy."

"What do you mean by 'won't have it easy'?"

"I don't have thousands of brothers, nor am I some big boss or gang leader," Su Tianyu replied in a low voice, "But after fighting for two years, I do have some friends."

After speaking, Su Tianyu walked out.

Kong ZhengHui pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Did you wipe the urine on your hand on my shoulder just now?!"

The two walked out of the toilet one after the other, and were just about to return to the barracks when they suddenly saw two cars stopping on the road outside the patrol outpost.

Kong ZhengHui was stunned for a moment, "They're here."

"Of course, otherwise why would General Yu let us come here? There's only one military patrol point nearby, even a fool knows where you ran to." Su Tianyu stood in the yard looking at the two cars with their lights off, and said with his hands behind his back, "Tonight, we'll be able to see whether our boss is tough, or Xu Hu's real father is tough!"

...

Inside the city.

A military vehicle stopped at a trade office under the Ma Gang General Association. The battalion commander surnamed Feng entered the second floor alone.

Inside the building, Gu Tongshan and six or seven influential veterans of the Ma Gang were sitting together, their faces looking very ugly, discussing in low voices.

Outside the city, Xu Hu sat in the car and answered the phone, "What's the situation?!"

"The people are at the military patrol point, I saw the cars in the yard." The henchman replied.

Xu Hu hung up the phone, turned his head and said, "Mobilize people, surround the whole area!"
