Chapter 175 The Closing

Around 7:30 PM, Su Tianyu arrived at the Tongji Association in Tianhong Port.

Inside the meeting room, Su Tianbei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately asked when he saw Gou Liuzi enter, "What's the job?"

Su Tianyu closed the door, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said with a slightly excited tone, "The groundwork is almost laid, it's time to close the deal."

"How are we closing it?" Su Tianbei asked.

"Lao Fei has already contacted the Third Division and is currently at the division headquarters." Su Tianyu lowered his voice and said, "The most important part of this whole thing is actually outside the district. I thought about it, and I don't trust anyone else to handle this, so I can only let you go."

"Stop with the preamble and get to the point," Su Tianbei urged.

"You need to find someone to impersonate garrison soldiers and work with Lao Fei from the inside at the division headquarters." Su Tianyu's expression was serious as he laid out the plan in great detail: "But you must remember, I said you send someone over. You absolutely cannot show your face, because we have to consider the Xin family's situation. They are in a very difficult position right now and their thinking could change at any moment. Your identity is too high. If you go, it increases the chances of them going back on their word. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand," Su Tianbei replied. "What's next?"

"I'll have Gu Baishun waiting to provide support from the outside. The whole plan is like this...!" Su Tianyu quietly explained everything to his second brother.

...

At the same time.

Zhou Xian left the interrogation room and, after much deliberation, directly called Chief of Staff Wu, "Hello, Chief of Staff Wu? This is Zhou Xian from the investigation team...!"

"Hello, Director Zhou," Chief of Staff Wu replied blandly. "What's the matter?"

"Hehe." Zhou Xian grinned, his hand in his pocket, and replied, "Things have reached this point. There's no point in testing each other anymore. Xiaoming is with me. Let's talk frankly."

Chief of Staff Wu was silent.

"Or should I send someone to meet you?" Zhou Xian asked.

"Sure, I'm at Lao Xin's place," Chief of Staff Wu replied. "Have him come over, let's chat face to face!"

"Okay, wait for me!"

With that, the two ended the call.

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment, then immediately instructed the guard, "Bring the key evidence of Xin Xiaoming's suspected transfer of benefits to the Red Party Group. Go to the Xin family in secret!"

"Yes!" The assistant immediately replied.

Zhou Xian paused slightly, then immediately added, "You don't need to be polite with Lao Wu. Just tell him directly that if they cooperate, I will leave them a chance. If they don't cooperate, they will have to bear the full responsibility for the military equipment case and the bribery! Tan Hengqiang will definitely not cover for them! The investigation team can crush them all at once!"

"Okay!"

"Go and come back quickly, I'll be waiting outside the interrogation room," Zhou Xian added immediately. "As long as Lao Wu responds, you call me on the spot and let Xin Xiaoming talk to him. This will save time. I'll immediately take Xin Xiaoming's statement, have him sign it, and then apply to the garrison to transfer Xin Chaojie."

"Understood!" The assistant nodded immediately. "I'll go now!"

...

Inside the garrison headquarters.

Tan Hengqiang stood in the small conference hall with a solemn expression and asked with his hands behind his back, "Why did Lao Wu go back to the division headquarters?"

"Our informant said that Lao Wu went back to get something," a major staff officer standing nearby replied. "We don't know exactly what it is yet. I guess it's related to evidence or something, or maybe he's dealing with the account books."

"Are the account books worth going back to get himself? What's wrong with your brain?" Tan Hengqiang scolded, raising his eyebrows and saying, "Could it be that he met with Zhou Xian in private?!"

"It's hard to say!" Lao Zhang sat on the sofa, "The Xin family has a relationship of transferring benefits to the Red Party Group. Zhou Xian can apply to transfer Xin Chaojie just based on that, but he didn't do it, which only means he has bigger plans."

Tan Hengqiang walked around in place, turned his head to look at Lao Zhang and said, "This Lao Wu has been slow to reply to us and hasn't made a clear statement. Could it be that he wants to cooperate with the investigation team?"

"We have little time, and we're pushing them too hard," Chief of Staff Zhang said objectively. "But what else can we do?!"

After thinking it over, Tan Hengqiang immediately ordered, "We've been too lenient with them!! Forget it, no more Mr. Nice Guy! Immediately mobilize a battalion and surround the Xin family, the Wu family, and the residences of the Third Division's core officers! If they don't understand what's going on, have the disciplinary department arrest them for me!"

This order was given extremely decisively and cleverly, effectively sealing off all avenues of retreat for the Xin family, because Tan Hengqiang was targeting their direct relatives.

"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately," Chief of Staff Zhang nodded.

Tan Hengqiang walked to the window, "This Little Zhou is as troublesome as his grandfather."

...

Tianhong Port.

Su Tianbei got into Zhang Hao's car, turned his head and instructed him, "Have someone prepare ten sets of garrison uniforms for me, nothing too high-ranking, just ordinary soldiers' uniforms."

"Okay!" Zhang Hao asked as he drove, "What then?"

"Call Tianzhan and have him bring his men to assemble at Haiyan Pit in a while." Su Tianbei continued, "Haozi, you'll have to step up and lead the team this time. My face is too familiar, it's easy for people to recognize me."

"Hehe, sure, it's no problem, I'll go," Zhang Hao replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your trouble," Su Tianbei patted him on the shoulder.

"We're all family, no need to be so polite." Zhang Hao drove steadily, the light from the street lamps on both sides of the road reflecting on his face, making the scars on his neck and scalp more visible.

"Take ten people in first, Lao Fei is inside too. Once you arrive, just listen to him," Su Tianbei instructed Zhang Hao.

...

Inside the Tongji Association, Tianhong Port.

Su Tianyu looked at Gu Baishun and Wei Xiangzuo and asked, "Secretly mobilizing people to the border, while ensuring no exposure, how many people can you call?"

"When do we need them?" Gu Baishun asked.

"They need to leave now. I don't know when we'll need them." Su Tianyu said with his hands in his pockets, "The main thing is stability, there can't be any mistakes!! We need to reasonably avoid any leaks."

Gu Baishun pondered for a long time, "Forty or fifty people are no problem. Zuoge, find four foremen, each foreman will bring five people, that's twenty-odd people. I can also get about the same number. Direct subordinates with direct subordinates, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, go do it now, then leave immediately." Su Tianyu stood up and said, "You take the command position, it's best not to show your face unless absolutely necessary."

"Okay!" Gu Baishun nodded.

After the three finished discussing, the two leaders of the dockworkers' association left.

Su Tianyu stood at the window and immediately called Xiao Qi: "Brother, have you picked up the person?"
