Chapter 31 Clash

Inside the campground of the Sea View Hotel, dozens of people from both sides were already engaged in a fierce battle near the sun umbrellas.

Although the thugs were numerous and notoriously violent during brawls, the Su family's side was not to be trifled with.

Da Xiong and Hou Guoyu were both war criminal-level fighters. Added to that, Lao Hei and Su Tianyu were mentally strong and had experienced major events. They were not afraid of knives or other cold weapons.

Having bullets fly over their heads, would they be afraid of this small scene?

Moreover, asking Da Xiong and Hou Guoyu to individually fight more than a dozen grown men under equal conditions was unrealistic. As the old saying goes, even a good tiger fears a pack of wolves.

However, in a group brawl, as long as Da Xiong and Hou Guoyu had backup, they could take down an opponent with one punch during the chaos.

Men from the old Triangle region were generally burly but short. Objectively speaking, their height was almost like that of half-grown children in front of Hou Guoyu and Da Xiong.

"Bang! Bang!"

Da Xiong knocked down two people in quick succession. He snatched a machete and, with just three swings, scattered seven or eight men nearby.

To the rear, the female relatives had been taken away to call the hotel security.

Third Sister tried to intervene several times but was held back by Second Uncle, who kept urging her to call the police.

"Call quickly," Second Uncle said, looking at Su Miaomiao, "and tell Gui Mengjun to get over here immediately!"

"Okay, okay!" Third Sister said, lowering her head and frantically dialing numbers on her blood-stained phone.

Just then, two young men ran over from the side, each wielding a knife, their target clear.

Second Uncle Su, a veteran who had been on the battlefield, had been observing his surroundings while urging Third Sister. When the two men rushed over, he pulled his daughter back a step.

As they looked up and met eyes, Second Uncle Su was about to grab a beer bottle from the table when he suddenly sensed something was off about the two men's eyes and movements.

Second Uncle Su had seen that look in the battlefield before – the look of inner fear mixed with a desire to kill!

"Bang!"

Relying entirely on his experience and reaction, Second Uncle Su kicked over the round table under the sun umbrella, shoved his daughter, and shouted, "Run!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Gunshots rang out. Bullets pierced through the wooden round table. Second Uncle Su ducked and ran forward, taking a bullet to the leg and staggering.

Up front, Su Tianyu and the others who were brawling with the group turned around sharply at the sound of gunfire.

"Dad!"

Third Sister cried out in alarm, hiding behind the overturned round table and instinctively pulling at the old man.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a barbecue iron stove filled with charcoal flew sideways, scattering burning coals that struck the gunman.

"Bang!"

"Sizzle!"

The gunman, who was about to charge forward, was hit on his right side and face by the stove. Flames instantly ignited on his exposed skin, and the dense charcoal melted his face.

"Ah!"

The man screamed miserably, dropping his gun and rolling frantically on the sand.

Seven or eight meters away, Da Xiong, his hands glowing with a faint light and his skin smelling burnt, ran over like a madman.

A second earlier, Da Xiong was the first to turn around when he heard the gunshot. But by then, he knew he couldn't make it to the thugs in time, so without thinking, he lifted the nearby stove with his bare hands and slammed it at the thug.

In that moment, he had not considered the heat of the stove or his own safety, it was purely a subconscious reaction.

Nearby, the other man with the knife turned to run when he saw Da Xiong rushing over, but Da Xiong hit him in the back with a bench, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle!"

Su Tianyu also rushed over, his face pale, and helped Second Uncle up.

At the same time, several security vehicles drove over along the coastal hotel road.

The thugs who had been fighting with Su Tianbei were already shocked when someone fired a gun. When they saw the island's security department rushing over, they lost their desire to fight. They turned and jumped into the truck, quickly fleeing the scene.

On the ground, only a corpse and an unconscious gunman remained. The others had scattered and fled under the cover of their companions.

"Dad, Dad...!" Su Miaomiao looked at her injured father, bursting into tears on the spot. She pressed on his wound with immense guilt. "Quick, let's get you to the hospital!"

"I... I'm fine," Second Uncle Su waved his hand. "He was using an old... pellet gun. The pellets hit the table and didn't have much penetrating power..."

Su Tianyu examined Second Uncle's wound and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the bullet had not penetrated deeply.

Everyone present was frightened, because those two men were clearly aiming to kill Second Uncle. They fired three shots as soon as they met him. If it weren't for Second Uncle's quick reaction, something would have happened.

The crowd helped Second Uncle up, who grabbed Miaomiao's hand and said, "Daughter, we... we can't marry him, no matter what. This is not a joke, someone wants your life!"

"I... I'll listen to you!" Su Miaomiao nodded and shouted, "To the hospital, quick, to the hospital!"

To the side of the crowd, Su Tianyu turned to look at Da Xiong and asked, "Are you okay?"

Da Xiong's ten fingers and both palms were burned and ulcerated. "I'm... I'm okay, just a small injury!"

Su Tianyu grabbed Da Xiong's arm, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Screech!"

Just then, the security department arrived. The leader asked in Mandarin, "Is everyone okay?!"

Su Tianbei, covered in blood, rushed over, grabbed the other man by the collar and shouted, "Where's Gui Mengjun? Where is he?! I can't get through to him on the phone?!"

...

On the streets of Hanoi.

Gui Mengjun sat in a military armored SUV, his hands cuffed, his brow furrowed, and asked, "Can I make a call?"

"Who to?" asked the middle-aged man in the passenger seat, crossing his legs.

"...What did I do?" Gui Mengjun asked.

"Don't think about anything else, you're not getting out of this," the man replied blandly, then ignored Gui Mengjun.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Su Tianyu and the others returned to the villa, still unable to contact Gui Mengjun.

Everyone was anxious, especially Su Tianbei, who was very dissatisfied with the Gui family's reaction.

The hotel security manager also rushed to Su Tianyu anxiously and said, "I... we really can't contact General Manager Gui right now, his secretary's phone is turned off!"

"Can you arrange a car to the hospital now?" Second Aunt asked anxiously.

"Second Aunt, listen to me, Second Uncle's injuries aren't too serious. It's best not to go to the hospital now, it's too chaotic outside." Su Tianyu already had a bad feeling. He reassured his family, "The security department has a first-aid kit for simple wound treatment. We'll stop the bleeding for Second Uncle first, and then I'll contact the Gui family."

"Okay, okay, you decide!" Second Aunt nodded.

...

Hanoi.

Inside the Hongrun Trading Company, a fair-skinned young man frowned and asked his assistant, "Something happened to the people from The Dragon City Rises?"

"Yes." The assistant whispered a few words into the young man's ear.

The young man pondered for a moment: "I'll go and bring them back."

"...That won't do, you can't go!"

"You don't know shit. Do you know how many resources have been invested in this line? It'll be ruined if it's cut off." The young man cursed, "Call the security department over here, quick!"
