Su Tianyu stared blankly at the text message, instantly understanding what An Qiqi meant.

Before the arms robbery, An Qiqi had made a special trip to Dragon City to see Su Tianyu, and told him her solution to their current emotional dilemma.

However, Su Tianyu couldn't implement An Qiqi's solution at this stage, so the two of them didn't resolve the fundamental issue that day.

An Qiqi didn't pressure Su Tianyu, only telling him that she was willing to wait for his answer.

Subsequently, the arms incident triggered a series of reactions, with various forces entering the game, causing Su Tianyu to be overwhelmed. He had no time to think about his personal problems, because the lives of countless people were in his hands, and he had to maintain a high level of concentration.

Originally, Su Tianyu planned to talk to An Qiqi after things had settled down, to make things clear whether they should part ways or stay together.

But An Qiqi waited for nearly half a month without receiving an answer. She also understood that Gou Liu Zi (Su Tianyu's nickname) at this stage would not give up Lao Li (Father-in-law), nor could he give up the family business.

Waiting any longer might not lead to any results, or the answer she received might break her heart even more. So she called Gou Liu Zi and sent him a text message today.

She wanted to maintain some dignity for herself and didn't want to love so卑微 (bēi wēi - humbly). Since she couldn't change anything, the only way for both of them to be free was to leave.

The motive behind An Qiqi sending this text message also stemmed from family reasons, as she had learned today that her father and Tan Hengqiang had ended their supervision and would soon return to Dragon City from District One.

What did this mean?

It meant that An Zecheng had now joined forces with Tan Hengqiang to weather the storm.

Although An Qiqi didn't want to delve into politics, it didn't mean she was a fool who understood nothing. The relationship between Lao Li's team and the garrison was so antagonistic. With her father taking a stand, it would further push her away from Su Tianyu.

Let's end it... Love should be beautiful, singular, and pure...

....

Inside the empty meeting room.

Su Tianyu stared blankly at his phone, his heart filled with endless loss and pain. His thumb frequently pressed on the phone screen, typing many words, but then deleting them all...

Having been in love for two years, Su Tianyu knew An Qiqi's character too well. She was a very decisive and brave girl, but not an impulsive one. Once she sent such a text message, it meant she had made the decision countless times in her heart.

Sitting alone in the chair in the meeting room, Su Tianyu lit a cigarette and closed his eyes, thinking for a long time before finally replying to An Qiqi with a text message.

"It's because I'm not strong enough, not able to keep you. Wish you well!"

After Su Tianyu sent this text message, tears involuntarily streamed from the corners of his eyes.

There was no pretense in his words. If he were sitting in Tan Hengqiang's position today, if he were the son of some commander, then he and An Qiqi would definitely not break up. Because the still very weak Lao An would definitely not agree to the internal division of the Tongji Association, nor would they have the current relationship with Lao Li.

Strength!

This was Su Tianyu's inner cry at this moment.

Without a doubt, he loved An Qiqi, and he also knew that An Qiqi loved him equally.

At this moment, Su Tianyu didn't want to do anything, didn't want to care about anything. He wasn't a superman. He also had his own emotions and desires, and he would also feel down and confused.

Work and career were endless; when your heart was hurt, you needed to heal.

Su Tianyu sent a text message to Li Yuan, telling him that he had something to do and needed to rest for two days.

After sending the text message, Su Tianyu left alone, without taking anyone with him.

He went to Guangji Island, the scenic spot where he and An Qiqi had their first trip.

He rode the multi-person bicycle again, climbed to the top of the mountain alone, stood in the same spot where they had stood, and watched the most beautiful sunrise.

He camped alone, looked at the stars alone, and wholeheartedly recalled the bits and pieces of their two years together. This time was precious because he only had two days off.

After it was over, he had to start again and continue to fight for the strength to retain everything!

....

Hua Fu.

Inside the An family's villa.

After An Zecheng ended his supervision and rested at home for two days, he was preparing to return to Dragon City today.

During these two days, An Qiqi had been staying at home with her father, not showing any abnormality due to her heartbreak. Instead, she would take the time to chat with her father.

An Qiqi wasn't stupid enough to blame her parents' choices because of her emotional setbacks.

They brought An Qiqi into the world, loved her, cared for her, and provided her with a very superior living environment.

They never owed her anything, so what could she, as a daughter, ask of them?

In the morning, An Qiqi and her mother helped An Zecheng pack his luggage and escorted him to the car at the door.

Before leaving, An Zecheng held the car door, turned his head and said to his daughter, "...Qiqi, everything Dad has done has never betrayed his conscience. In the army, I am the military commander, and I have to be responsible for many people; at home, I am the pillar, and I have to protect you. Do you understand?"

An Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded, "I know, Dad!"

"Life will always encounter twists and turns." An Zecheng bent over and got into the car, "I believe my daughter will handle her life well."

"Of course!" An Qiqi replied with a smile.

"I'm leaving!" An Zecheng waved his hand and urged the driver, "Let's go."

The SUV slowly left the house. An's mother took An Qiqi's arm and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you!"

"Mom, I want to travel."

"...!" An's mother was stunned for a moment, "Okay, but you can't go too far. It has to be in Hua Fu."

"Okay!" An Qiqi nodded.

After the words fell, the two returned home together. An Qiqi went upstairs, sat alone on the windowsill, and after a long time of being in a daze, she sent a text message to her best friend.

"My first love is over. Let's go travel!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for you anytime!"

....

Afternoon.

Su Tianyu, who had stayed on Guangji Island for two days, returned to Dragon City. He was full of energy, and his skin was much darker. It seemed that he was not affected by the heartbreak at all.

Back at the Tongji Association, Su Tianyu held an internal meeting and said concisely, "Today, we will only study one thing! The arms business cannot be done in Dragon City. We must find a way to open up a new transportation channel."

At the same time.

Inside a deep mountain tunnel outside Dragon City, a man wearing a big-headed baby mask looked at the boxes of arms and said with a flashlight, "This is the future... the arms for us to establish the first armed force!"

Next to him, a man squatted on the ground and said, "Dazzling!!"
