Chapter 154 Exchange

Inside the office.

Li Mingsheng softly said to Su Tianyu, "There's a mission for you going over there. The second rescue site outside the district is a chaotic mess. We've captured some soldiers from the Chi Army, and they've detained some of our people, so we need to make an exchange."

Su Tianyu paused slightly, "Leader, we just held a press conference, shouting slogans about being irreconcilable with evil forces, and now we're privately exchanging cards with the Chi Army. Isn't that...!"

"That's why I'm sending you," Li Mingsheng said, looking at Su Tianyu. "You're not a government official right now. Your operation is a private act, and it doesn't conflict with the slogans."

"..." Su Tianyu scratched his head, "What if the Chi Army reneges on the spot?"

"Then I'll have Li Yuan find someone else to talk to them. Whether you can come back or not depends on fate," Li Mingsheng replied with a smile.

Su Tianyu squinted at him, "Oh, that's how you're considering it."

"Hehe." Li Mingsheng pointed at Su Tianyu, "Don't play games with me. Only you can go. You and Zhao Weihu can talk. I'm giving you a chance to earn merit."

Su Tianyu could only nod, "Okay, I understand."

Li Mingsheng crossed his fingers, looked at the young man in front of him, and after pondering for a while, asked, "It won't be for nothing. The civil service report is about to start. After you come back, prepare your personal information."

Su Tianyu was overjoyed, "Yes! Thank you, leader."

"Do you need me to send a couple of people from the Anti-Terrorism Team with you?"

"No need, if something really happens, having a few more people won't help." Su Tianyu waved his hand, "I'll go by myself."

"Be careful."

"...Yes, I'll try to be careful." Su Tianyu thought to himself, how the hell can I be careful? If Zhao Weihu wants to kill me, it's useless to wear eight hundred layers of body armor.

...

A little while later, Li Yuan sent Su Tianyu out of the office and whispered to him, "Xiao Su, I'm really envious of you."

"Why do you say that, Brother Li?"

"How many people want to get involved with Mayor Li? They dream of having some connection with him, even a family connection. But you came in and got the grace of saving his life. Your starting point is much higher than others." Li Yuan said with a face full of envy, "Going to the Chi Army this time is not necessarily something only you can do, because many people have done business with Zhao Weihu before, but the mayor still sent you. This is really giving you a chance."

"Yes, I understand." Su Tianyu didn't take his words seriously. Secretaries are good at seizing opportunities, so Li Yuan was likely trying to curry favor with him on behalf of Li Mingsheng. Of course, this was definitely not instructed by Li Mingsheng, but just Li Yuan's own smoothness.

"Do a good job. When you get back, give me your application information, and I'll personally insert it for you."

"Thank you, Brother." Su Tianyu immediately replied, "When I get back, let's have a private meal."

"Okay!"

After the two of them said enough, Su Tianyu left the municipal building and went home by car.

At noon, Su Tianyu took a shower at home, changed his clothes, and immediately found someone from the Anti-Terrorism Team to send him to the Kasalo border.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

Su Tianyu was secretly picked up by the Chi Army at the Kasalo border, and after another three hours of driving, he entered the Chi Army's new base.

When he got out of the car, Su Tianyu noticed that the Chi Army's main force seemed to have been transferred here. They didn't dare to operate on the border, probably because they were afraid of being besieged by the Dragon City and First District troops.

In fact, the relationship between the Chi Army and Dragon City is quite abnormal. They publicly fight to the death, with Dragon City constantly shouting about剿匪 (suppressing bandits) and the Chi Army constantly shouting about revenge, but privately they actually have contact and even exchange hostages. The two sides are just verbally attacking each other, and in the end, it's not clear who they're fooling.

Guard Battalion Commander Zhu Bajie picked up Su Tianyu and led him through the camp to a bungalow.

After entering the house, Su Tianyu saw Zhao Weihu lying in bed, his arms and legs wrapped in gauze and receiving an IV drip.

It seemed that the Chi Army had paid a heavy price to escape from the border, and even Zhao Weihu was injured.

"Commander, Xiao Su is here," Zhu Bajie said softly.

Zhao Weihu turned his head, looked at Su Tianyu, and yawned, "Sit down."

"Brother, are you injured? Are you okay?" Su Tianyu immediately went over.

"Hehe!" The guard battalion commander smiled at the sycophantic Su Tianyu, turned around, closed the door, and left.

"...What did Li Mingsheng ask you to bring?" Zhao Weihu looked at him and asked directly.

Su Tianyu reached out and pulled over a chair, leaned over and sat next to Zhao Weihu, replying, "Exchange people. Didn't you have a few people who haven't been released yet? In the battlefield, both sides also...also had gains, so I came."

Zhao Weihu paused slightly, "We can exchange people. I don't need Dragon City's lackeys either. I'll have the guard battalion commander coordinate with you later."

Zhao Weihu and Li Mingsheng both agreed to exchange people because they both knew that after the Chi Army finished this operation, they definitely wouldn't dare to operate on the border anymore. In the future, they would move deeper into the Kasalo region to avoid the military encirclement and suppression by the First District and Dragon City.

Although the Chi Army is currently protected by the Old Mo government army, they are still no match for the strength of a major district. Running is the only option, and if there is less contact in the future, then holding each other's hostages will be useless. Moreover, Dragon City officials cannot ignore their own people. It would be very troublesome if Zhao Weihu held the hostages for a few years.

"Thank you, Commander!" Su Tianyu replied with a smile, looked expectantly at Zhao Weihu, and suddenly asked, "By the way, there's one more thing I wanted to ask you...!"

"What is it?" Zhao Weihu looked at him, knowing what he was going to ask.

"Why didn't Jing Yan die? Hehe." Su Tianyu looked at him without beating around the bush.

On the day of the regulatory commission hijacking incident, Su Tianyu learned in advance about the special operations team's attack and leaked the information to Zhao Weihu in exchange for having them kill Jing Yan and Gu Baisun, but the former gave the information, while the latter did not do it.

"Hehe." Zhao Weihu smiled, pointed at him, and said, "I even dare to touch Li Mingsheng, and you dare to negotiate terms with me?!"

"I'm not negotiating terms, I just want to ask." Su Tianyu immediately waved his hand, "Whatever you decide is right, but I want to know the reason...!"

Zhao Weihu was silent for a while, "Jing Yan could help me when I evacuated, so I didn't touch him!"

"Oh, is that so!" Su Tianyu nodded, "Then why didn't you kill him after he helped?"

Zhao Weihu looked at him with some surprise, "Are you teaching me how to do things?!"
