Chapter 1 A Fatal Mistake

In most normal countries around the world, civilian airports are under extremely strict control. Generally speaking, no matter which department you're from, it's extremely difficult for law enforcement personnel to carry firearms onto a plane and pass through security. Not only do you need a special authorization from your superior unit, but you also have to communicate with the airport's police unit and go through a very cumbersome verification process.

Although Su Tianyu and the others had a district investigation warrant, they hadn't notified the airport in advance. Furthermore, the staff here had never seen this level of warrant, so they didn't care about it at all.

To make calls and communicate now would probably take half a day, and Su Tianyu and his group couldn't afford to wait!

"Forget it, leave two people behind to leave the guns outside, we're going in," Su Tianyu instructed the captain of the anti-terrorism squad.

"Okay, okay!" The captain immediately ordered everyone to hand over their weapons to their own people. Then, he showed his credentials and, escorted by the airport police, hurried towards Secretary-General Lu and the others.

...

At the departure gate for special planes on the first floor, Secretary-General Lu retreated a step, coldly watching the members of the anti-terrorism squad.

Eight staff members from the military intelligence department immediately stepped forward, pushing against the squad members and saying, "Do you know which department we're from?! Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

"…!"

The two sides were deadlocked at the boarding gate, tensions running high.

"Tap, tap!"

A series of footsteps sounded, and a dozen or so anti-terrorism squad members who had been lying in ambush at the airport, also dressed in plainclothes, ran over and surrounded Secretary-General Lu.

Seeing this scene, Secretary-General Lu felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that Li Mingsheng had escaped danger much earlier than he had known. He probably returned to The Dragon City Rises last night and blocked his retreat in advance.

Secretary-General Lu felt somewhat regretful. He had been too timid. It would have been much better if he had chosen to leave The Dragon City Rises by car. But, being cunning and cautious, he felt that driving outside the district would be too risky. If he were stopped, he might not be able to save his own life.

Old Lu had been aiming to kill Li Mingsheng, so the latter's move would definitely not leave him a way out. That was why Secretary-General Lu had chosen to travel by plane, which he thought was relatively safe, but he didn't expect Old Li to return earlier than he had anticipated.

"Secretary-General Lu, this is an airport, a public area. Let's not make things too ugly," the anti-terrorism squad member said in a low voice. "Don't make things difficult for me."

Secretary-General Lu loosened his tie and replied through gritted teeth, "Do you know the consequences of choosing the wrong side?!"

"Do you know the consequences of choosing the wrong side?!"

Just then, Su Tianyu ran over, panting, leading a large group of people behind him, and shouted.

Hearing this, Secretary-General Lu turned around, looking at Su Tianyu in shock.

"I just went ahead to scout the way, why did you run?" Su Tianyu stepped forward, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I might accidentally shoot you outside the district?"

"Little lackey, ha, ha, your time will come!" Secretary-General Lu replied with a smile, waving his hand to the military intelligence personnel next to him, "Don't cause conflicts at the airport, it's not a good look. We'll go with them."

"That's right, big shots should have the demeanor of big shots," Su Tianyu waved his hand. "Let's go, escort Secretary-General Lu out of here."

After speaking, everyone surrounded Old Lu and walked back.

On the way, Secretary-General Lu nodded to the man who had brought them through security, signaling him to quickly notify his superiors.

Three minutes later.

The chairman of the Regulatory Commission in The Dragon City Rises received a call: "Hello?"

"Secretary-General Lu didn't get away, he was arrested."

"…!" The chairman of the Regulatory Commission jumped up and cursed, "Those bastards from the anti-terrorism squad, they're just a bunch of lackeys under Li Mingsheng!"

...

A group of dozens of people quickly left the airport hall through the VIP通道 (tōngdào, passageway). The anti-terrorism squad waved towards the parking lot, and a dozen SUVs immediately pulled up.

Secretary-General Lu was stuffed into the middle vehicle, his face gloomy, his expression complicated.

Su Tianyu glanced at his profile and suddenly said to the squad leader, "Do you have a gun?"

The squad leader was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I do!"

"Give me one," Su Tianyu said in a low voice.

"…!" The squad leader hesitated, because Su Tianyu was not a law enforcement officer after all.

"Brother, don't you understand what I'm here to do?" Su Tianyu frowned and replied.

The squad leader hesitated for a moment, then handed the gun to Su Tianyu.

"Do you have a law enforcement recorder?" Su Tianyu stood by the roadside and spoke to him in a low voice.

Three minutes later, everyone got into the car and left. The squad leader of the anti-terrorism squad and Su Tianyu were both sitting in the spacious SUV that was escorting Old Lu.

Inside the car.

Secretary-General Lu closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat, not saying a word.

Su Tianyu turned his head, glanced at him, and poked his arm with a smile.

Secretary-General Lu slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Su Tianyu with disdain, "If you have something to say, I won't talk to you, understand?"

"I'm not qualified?"

"…!" Secretary-General Lu was too lazy to talk to him and slowly turned his head away.

Su Tianyu looked at his profile and asked with a smile, "Hey, you're a pretty big leader, but the people you hired aren't very good! More than a dozen thugs with guns went to my house, and they didn't even have time to sit down before they were all taken down. It's pretty embarrassing!"

Secretary-General Lu didn't reply.

Su Tianyu looked at him and suddenly raised his left arm, putting it around his neck, "I'm talking to you, why don't you have any manners?"

Secretary-General Lu frowned, looking at him with disgust, and replied word by word, "You're just a dog! No, you're not even a dog, because you don't even have a formal identity, so there's no way you have any political affiliation. You saved him once, so what? Aren't you still at the bottom of society? You don't think you can take off with just this, do you?"

"Yes, yes!" Su Tianyu nodded.

Secretary-General Lu hated Su Tianyu very much because the latter had disrupted all his plans, so he couldn't help but lean close to Su Tianyu's ear and whisper, "Even if I rot, it's just losing my job or spending two years in prison. But you're different. You've ruined many people's plans… later, I guess there will be many new graves in your family."

"Are you sure?!" Su Tianyu asked, looking at him.

"Heh, heh!" Secretary-General Lu grinned with a gloomy expression.

The two looked at each other, Su Tianyu slowly raised his right arm, and suddenly swung it.

"Slap!"

Secretary-General Lu was slapped in the face, stunned on the spot.

In the passenger seat, the squad leader immediately stopped him, "What are you doing?! Don't touch him!"

"You're still acting tough with me at this point!" Su Tianyu grabbed Secretary-General Lu's neck with red eyes, and shouted angrily, "Did outsiders offend you? Why are you messing with my family? You have a little power, and you don't know who you are anymore, do you?!"

Secretary-General Lu pushed against Su Tianyu's body, and cursed furiously, "If you can make it in the future, I, Old Lu, will take your last name!"

"I'll fucking kill you!" Su Tianyu pressed Secretary-General Lu's chest with his left hand, and punched him in the face twice.

Secretary-General Lu also got anxious, and with his hands in handcuffs, he started fighting with Su Tianyu.

"Stop the car, stop the car!" The squad leader shouted.

"Screech!"

The car suddenly slowed down, and the people inside instinctively lurched forward.

At that moment, Su Tianyu pressed Secretary-General Lu's chest with his left hand and suddenly whispered in his ear, "…Luckily, you ran outside the district, or you wouldn't have lived until now. I don't know what my situation will be in the future… but you'll definitely be at the crematorium at this time tomorrow."

Hearing this, Secretary-General Lu raised his head in shock.

"Damn, you're still trying to grab the gun?!" Su Tianyu exclaimed.

"No, I didn't…!" While Secretary-General Lu was struggling violently, he felt his handcuffed hand suddenly touch the gun.

Su Tianyu stared at him, "My dad was brought down by people like you back then. I'll use you as the first brick for my runway to take off!"

The car stopped, and the car body lurched forward again.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, and Secretary-General Lu slumped back in the back seat, blood spurting from his chest.

Su Tianyu pushed open the car door with a terrified expression, and shouted with blood all over his face, "He…he fucking tried to grab the gun, he wanted to shoot me, the gun went off…!"

The squad leader ran over, glanced at Secretary-General Lu in the car, and didn't move.

Su Tianyu turned his blood-soaked face to the squad leader, "…What do we do?!"

"What else can we do, report it!" The squad leader immediately took out his phone.

Inside the car, Secretary-General Lu twitched all over, raised his arm, and pointed at Su Tianyu, "…I…you…!"

"Heh, messing with my family?! After you're cremated, I'll sprinkle some chili powder in your urn, so you can be so popular in your next life too…!" Su Tianyu stood on the curb, his lips moving, looking at Secretary-General Lu with a very low voice.

Li Mingsheng's first counterattack directly killed Old Lu!
