Wei Jie
Chapter 55 Retreat
Yu Mingyuan's personality was very well hidden. To outsiders, he always seemed very kind, even a little easy to talk to, which gave people the illusion that he was soft.
Clearly, Tang Baiqing's perception of Yu Mingyuan was like this, so he was completely dumbfounded by that slap.
...
With the military's intervention, the rest was simple. Although Xu Hu and the others were unwilling, they could only watch as the others took away their people and goods.
After everyone left the warehouse, Yu Mingyuan took out 40,000 yuan in cash from the car and handed it directly to Su Tianyu, saying, "Medical expenses, night-time allowance for the gang fight. Take care of the guys. If the money isn't enough, call Linda."
Su Tianyu immediately nodded, "Understood."
"I'm going back. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Alright, Brother Yuan!"
After a brief exchange, Yu Mingyuan pulled open the car door to get in, but then seemed to remember something. He suddenly turned back and asked, "Xiao Yu, if I hadn't come today, how would you have handled things?"
"I've known you for several months. I understand your personality—you value loyalty and follow the rules. I knew you'd come," Su Tianyu replied without hesitation.
"Bullshit, speak like a human." Yu Mingyuan was a little curious.
Su Tianyu wiped the blood from his face and insisted, "I am speaking like a human. I knew you'd come."
"I really want to piss in your mouth." Yu Mingyuan didn't believe him, but he didn't ask any further. He bent down and got into the car.
"Boss, drive carefully," Gou Liu Zi said, grinning.
Yu Mingyuan ignored him and drove off. But as he drove to the edge of the street, he noticed Wang Daolin standing by a police car with several officers, talking in low voices.
Seeing this, Yu Mingyuan smiled and muttered, "Young man, you handled things pretty neatly."
Less than half a minute later, the car carrying Su Tianyu and the others arrived at the street corner, following the military vehicles.
The van stopped, and Su Tianyu lowered the window. Without getting out of the car to find Wang Daolin, he simply gave him a salute from afar.
Wang Daolin nodded in response, and then, wearing a bulletproof vest and uniform, bent down and got into the police car. "Let's go back."
After this brief exchange, the two groups left Tianhong Port.
...
Ten minutes later, on the outskirts of the street, the old men from the Su, Bai, and Kong families, along with more than a hundred men, saw the convoy approaching.
"They're back!" Bai Hongbo's father finally breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
"Damn it, if they hadn't come back, I would have charged in!" Seeing that the situation was settled, Su Zhengcai was back to his old self, shouting in a very intimidating manner.
Old Bai glanced at Su Zhengcai with his hands behind his back. "When it comes to posturing, you're the best."
The old men from the Bai and Su families were quite interesting. They had been in the same military camp during their service, and their ranks were similar. Later, they both came to The Dragon City and engaged in similar businesses. In addition, their personalities were very different, so the two families had always been competitive.
If it hadn't been for the fact that all four families had been falsely accused of arms dealing and had to stick together, and that Bai Hongbo had been getting closer to the younger generation of the Su family recently, the two families wouldn't have had much contact with each other usually.
"Bai Dabiao, can I posture more than you? Before you went in, you were the loudest about reshuffling the cards. After you went in, you were the first to give in!"
"Su Zhengcai, don't have such a big mouth, saying whatever you want...!"
The two old men started arguing, and Kong Zhengcai's father, annoyed by the noise, interrupted, "Stop talking. They're back."
As he spoke, the two vans stopped, and Su Tianyu and the others got out.
"Are you alright?" Su Zhengcai and the others went to greet them.
"We're fine. Yu Mingyuan came and took care of everything," Su Tianyu replied immediately. "You guys take the goods back. We have to go to the hospital. Da Bai and Zhang Hao are pretty badly injured."
Bai Dabiao had already walked to the door of the van, but after looking inside, he couldn't find his son.
Bai Hongbo was covered in blood, and his motorcycle helmet was still on. He looked like a futuristic warrior, groaning in his seat.
"Hongbo, where are you?" Bai Dabiao asked his family members.
"I... I'm here, Dad!" Bai Hongbo turned around and raised his hand.
Bai Dabiao looked at his son and asked after a long pause, "Are you okay?"
"... I can handle it!" Bai Hongbo replied, gritting his teeth.
"Hurry to the hospital," Bai Dabiao said immediately, seeing his son's miserable state. "Go to the People's Hospital, quickly!"
Next to him, Su Tianyu said to his second uncle and older brother, "Take the goods back first. We'll go to the hospital first. Call when you get there."
"Are you alright, Er'er?" Su Tiannan saw that Tianyu was okay, so he asked Tianbei.
"I won't die. I'm fine," Su Tianbei waved his hand.
The group stood on the side of the road for less than five minutes, and the people from the Su, Bai, and Kong families had already unloaded the goods from the trucks brought by the young military officers and loaded them into their own cars.
Zhang Hao, Bai Hongbo, and the others were quite seriously injured. After Su Tianyu finished explaining things to his second uncle, he immediately got into a car and headed to the hospital.
On the way, Da Bai took off his helmet, and blood gushed from his nose. He plugged his nostrils with his thick thumbs, tilted his head back, and said, "Damn, I hope I don't get a brain hemorrhage... Why is it still bleeding?!"
"Quick, see if there are any sanitary napkins in the car. Quickly plug it up for him," Su Tianbei shouted.
"If anyone's getting plugged up, it's me helping Miao Miao," Bai Hongbo replied fluently.
"You fat bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
"... You still have the energy to joke around. You two didn't get hit hard enough," Kong Zhengcai muttered, speechless, clutching the knife wound on his arm.
With Da Bai and Tianbei, these two treasures, the oppressive atmosphere in the car was eased a lot. Su Tianyu sat in the back of the car, supporting Zhang Hao, and urged, "Drive faster!"
Hearing this, Bai Hongbo turned his head, examined Su Tianyu's body with a frown, and his expression was extremely complex.
"What are you looking at?" Su Tianyu asked.
"I'm just wondering, we were all fighting in the same room, why are you completely unscathed?" Da Bai asked, puzzled.
Indeed, out of the seventeen people who participated in the battle in the two cars, Su Tianyu was the least injured. He had almost no serious knife wounds, only scratches and small cuts. Most of the blood on his body was other people's.
"Do you know why my family calls him Gou Liu Zi (Dog Sixth)?" Su Tianbei asked.
"... I'm also a dog, but I still got beat up!" Da Bai said indignantly.
"Are you as cunning as him?" Kong Zhengcai cursed. "At the door, the three of us blocked the door. As soon as Wei Xiangzuo came in, Tianbei was knocked down, I was kicked away, and only he turned around and ran back to hold Xu Er hostage. Once they were inside, he leaned against the wall and started talking. We were outside swinging knives. How could he get hurt?"
"Gou Liu Zi, we're all brothers, and you're playing tricks!" Da Bai pointed at Su Tianyu and commented, "My helmet was smashed, and you're completely fine. That doesn't make sense! Come here, let me feel your little dick, and I'll forgive you."
"Get lost. Your beating has a direct relationship with that steel helmet. Out of seventeen people, only you're wearing a chamber pot on your head. Who wouldn't beat you?" Su Tianyu replied sharply.
"Haha!"
Everyone laughed. From here on out, the nickname Gou Liu Zi was no longer limited to the Su family. Da Bai, Kong Zhengcai, and the others also realized the essence of this nickname.
...
At the docks, after Xu Hu had his brothers sent to the hospital, he sat in the car and said to Tang Baiqing, word by word, "From today on, if Yu Mingyuan can move even one piece of cargo through the docks of Zhan'nan District, then I, Xu Hu, have lived all these years in vain!"
Tang Baiqing replied with a gloomy face, "Crush him."
