Chapter 1 The Dragon City Rises

Yu's Villa, behind the side, Su Tianyu looked at Yu Mingyuan with a heavy expression, seeing only madness in his eyes and a numb expression under the moonlight.

The two were silent for a long time. Yu Mingyuan took another small sip of red wine and said in a hoarse voice, "I won't use you for nothing. You can name your price."

Su Tianyu did not respond, only stared at him, frowning.

"The price isn't enough?" Yu Mingyuan turned his head to look at Su Tianyu and said, "Then how about this, I'll have my uncle think of another way. Even if he can't get you into the system in the end, he'll find a way to get you into a state-owned enterprise with good prospects. Is that okay?!"

Yu Mingyuan's words were full of utilitarianism, and there was no emotion in his tone.

"What are you talking about?!" Su Tianyu asked, suppressing his anger, "Are you talking business with me? If it's just business, then how do you account for using my people before? Isn't the money you gave a little short?!"

"Then how much do you want?" Yu Mingyuan asked calmly.

"Am I talking to you about money?!" Su Tianyu stared at Yu Mingyuan and retorted, "Do you think it's acceptable to kill all the suspects?!"

"They killed my father!!!" Yu Mingyuan finally had a change in emotion. He roared in a ferocious expression, "I'm avenging my father, isn't that acceptable?! Huh?!"

Su Tianyu looked at Yu Mingyuan's expression, paused for a few seconds, and waved his hand to calm down. "Okay! Okay! Let's not argue, let's talk it over... First of all, you are not Bai Hongbo, nor Kong Zhenghui, and certainly not me! With Uncle Yu gone, you are the link connecting everyone, you are the helmsman! You have to understand that behind you stand more than four thousand Tongji Association members, three families tied to you, the Zhou family who supports you financially, and relationships like Wang Daolin who have helped you many times. Emotionally speaking, I can understand your feelings, but as the sword-bearer of a group, you can't ignore everyone and act solely on your emotions! That's irresponsible, do you understand?!"

"Xiao Yu, I now...!"

"Let me finish," Su Tianyu interrupted, staring at him and continued, "With Uncle Yu gone, many upper-level connections may not have confidence in us, they are all watching. And the people in the association are also unsure at the moment. You should stand up at this time and give everyone... "

"Give them what?!" Yu Mingyuan suddenly stood up. "My own father who gave me life and raised me is gone, stabbed seven or eight times, his internal organs are all shattered. You want me to take care of everyone's feelings? Huh?! I don't want to hear you say this. Just tell me, can that group of people be used? If not, I'll find someone else!"

Hearing this, Su Tianyu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He also stood up abruptly and roared, "Can you calm down?! The Xue family, Changqing, the dockworkers' association, the Longkou district gang, Xu Hu's brothers on the run, and Li Xing, Li Hongze in prison, these people, these forces, could all be the culprits behind this. Can you really kill them all in one fell swoop? Is that realistic?! Have you ever considered that the murderer who killed Uncle Yu might want to see you in your current state the most? He can't wait for you to stir up the water again like a madman. And even if you really succeed, what will you do in the future?! Hide in some remote corner as a fugitive, or be shot in a firing squad?! Finally, what about those of us who follow you? If you make trouble, the entire association will suffer, and the Zhou family's investment of forty million will be completely wasted."

Hearing this, Yu Mingyuan sneered, "You finally told the truth! You're afraid that if I do this, it will implicate you, implicate the Su family, right? You're worried that your vested interests will be ruined by my actions, right?! Su Tianyu, don't forget that without the Yu family, you wouldn't even be able to protect your little sanitation contracting company, let alone talk about the future! You don't have to help me, you can avoid trouble in the future, but your attitude is too utilitarian! I'm telling you, the night before my dad left, he was still asking people to help you with things. He treated you as his own protégé!!"

Under the moonlight, the two faced each other, and Yu Mingyuan roared again excitedly, "Don't forget, it was your idea to kill Gu Tongshan, it was your radical plan that led to a series of changes later! You are also responsible for my dad's death!!"

Su Tianyu slowly closed his eyes and took a long breath. At this moment, his heart was filled with disappointment, and he was not going to explain the Gu Tongshan matter anymore, because Yu Mingyuan was obviously caught in endless negative emotions, and his unyielding stubbornness made him unable to listen to anyone's words.

The plan to snipe Gu Tongshan was indeed proposed by Su Tianyu, but the person who ultimately nodded in agreement was not him, but Yu Jinrong himself. All the details of the plan were approved and decided by the latter.

Regardless of whether a battle is successful or not, the ultimate responsibility lies with the first military commander, not the staff team.

The duty of the staff is to advise and formulate plans. If they do not speak and avoid things, it is a dereliction of duty.

But Su Tianyu was not going to argue with Yu Mingyuan about this. After calming down for a while, he raised his finger and pointed at Yu Mingyuan, saying, "To attract investment and save Zhou Tonghui, I only took a dozen people from the Zhou family and went to the dockworkers' association in Longkou to snatch Nick; to stabilize Tianhong Port and give us a chance to turn the tables, I went to Wei Xiangzuo alone and was chased up the mountain by more than forty private armed men from the Xue family. The rock I hid behind was hit by hundreds of bullets! If I was afraid of death, afraid of trouble, why would I do these things?! Yu Mingyuan, your dad died, you're very sad, very upset, unable to control your emotions, but have you ever thought about it? To do this business, Daba's younger brother, Bai Hongtao, also died! How many people have died for this association?! Go look at my elder brother, second brother, and those who follow you, how many more scars do they have on their bodies?! We risked our lives to create a turning point, and now we can finally see some hope, but in the end, we find that the person we trust is a complete waste! A young master who can't handle things at a critical moment!! You have let down the trust of the three companies, and even more so the Zhou family's investment of real money, as well as those who risked helping you!!!"

After Su Tianyu finished speaking, pointing at Yu Mingyuan, he turned and left, saying to his back before leaving: "If you think we are in a relationship of interest, that's fine too. Come if there is profit, leave if there is no profit. We, the Su family, can't afford to play anymore, so we're leaving!"
