Chapter 118 Discord

Inside the private room, Yu Mingyuan shouted with reddened eyes, and the scene fell silent.

Kong ZhengHui, his chest heaving, looked at Su TianBei, not moving to attack again. Across from him, Su TianBei, reeking of alcohol, clenched his fists but didn't step forward.

Yu Mingyuan looked at the two of them: "You're not fighting anymore, right? You're really not fighting anymore?!"

Neither of them responded.

"If you're not fighting, let the staff in to clean up and continue eating." Yu Mingyuan didn't even try to mediate, coldly throwing down those words before turning and leaving.

"I'm not eating, you guys eat." Kong ZhengHui wiped the blood from his nose, grabbed his coat, and strode towards the door.

"Pa!"

Su TianYu reached out and grabbed Kong ZhengHui's wrist, turning to look at him and saying, "I'll scold him later."

"It's okay." Kong ZhengHui nodded: "Don't spoil everyone's mood. You guys help out with the engagement, we'll talk later."

Su TianYu released his hand, and Kong ZhengHui left with his head down.

"Xiao Yu, I'll go check on him." Zhou TongHui stepped forward and said to Su TianYu, "It's not good to let him walk alone."

"Okay," Su TianYu replied: "Try to talk him around."

"Mm." Zhou TongHui nodded and followed Kong ZhengHui out.

After the two of them left, the atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward. Fei GuangTou chuckled and said, "Hey, everyone's young and full of energy. It's normal to bicker and have some conflicts. It's nothing, even real brothers fight every day! Come on, let's clean up, everyone lend a hand."

After speaking, A Hua took the lead, proactively helping to tidy up the chairs.

With the couple taking the lead, everyone's mood relaxed. They gathered together to say a few words to Su TianBei, and the matter was swept under the rug.

After everyone sat down, Su TianYu bent down and asked TianBei, "Are you drunk?"

Su TianBei lowered his head, not saying a word.

"No matter how anxious you are, you can't start a fight on this kind of occasion!" Su TianYu said, stopping there.

Su TianBei raised his head: "So many people came, but instead of talking about anything else, he specifically talked to TongHui, Da Bai, and Zheng Ming about Uncle You's son wanting to sue. Tell me, what the hell does that mean? My brother is already in there, and he's still not done?! I'm telling you, he's more unhappy than anyone that you pulled off the Seven Islands thing."

Su TianYu immediately frowned and reprimanded him: "Alright, stop talking!"

Among all of the Su family's siblings, Su TianBei was the most straightforward and simple-minded. Back when Su Second Uncle was framed by Changqing Company and forced into prison, Su TianBei was extremely anxious and even took a gun to go and fight Lu Feng to the death. This showed that he was the type of person who didn't have too many schemes in his belly.

Su TianBei sat on the sofa, sullenly silent for a while, then immediately stood up and said, "I'm leaving too, you guys eat."

"Okay, we'll talk later." Su TianYu didn't try to stop him, because his presence only made everyone feel awkward: "Go back."

Su TianBei pushed open the door and left. Su TianYu turned to look at everyone: "Eat what you want, drink what you want. If those two are still unhappy later, then let them keep fighting, no one cares about this crap."

Everyone smiled knowingly and didn't dwell on the fight anymore, finding a random topic to chat about.

……

Compared to the lively engagement banquet, the conflict between Su TianBei and Kong ZhengHui was like a small interlude that didn't cause much of a stir, because many people didn't know that a fight had broken out in the Tongji Association, so most of the engagement process proceeded normally.

But in reality, in the hearts of the Tongji Association and other high-level members, this matter definitely wasn't over. Since the beginning of this team, there had never been an experience of high-level members arguing and fighting, so this tested the handling ability of the number one person.

The banquet continued until after 10 p.m. before it ended, and after attending the main banquet, Su TianYu sent An QiQi, Wa Wa, and others back to their residence.

At the hotel, after Yu Mingyuan saw off the guests, he saw that the time was already after 12 a.m.

"You take your family back first," Yu Mingyuan said to Wen XiaoRou, "I'm going to Kong ZhengHui's place."

"Okay." Wen XiaoRou nodded slowly: "Try to persuade him properly."

"Mm, I know what I'm doing."

After the two communicated, Kong ZhengHui didn't call Su TianYu, nor did he bring anyone else, but drove himself to the Kong family home.

Yu Mingyuan sat in the car and waited for a while, and Kong ZhengHui walked out of his courtyard, opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

"Want to grab a drink?" Yu Mingyuan asked.

"Let's go!" The bruising on Kong ZhengHui's face was still very obvious, and he looked quite aggrieved.

"What do you want to eat?" Yu Mingyuan asked softly as he drove away.

……

The Zha Island Prison in the First District had already existed before the Age of Chronicles and was about a hundred years old.

The management personnel here had been replaced countless times, and the various detention facilities on the island had also undergone several major renovations. Compared to the old photos, the external changes here were very large.

However, the only thing that hadn't changed was that this Zha Island Prison was still the most tightly guarded detention facility in the First District, and even the world. The prisoners held here were also extremely dangerous people.

Important political prisoners, leaders of extremist organizations, antisocial personality disorder prisoners, and serious offenders of various major cases were all sent here after being individually rated and reaching the detention permit.

Around 1:30 a.m.

A ship transporting prisoners arrived at the port of Zha Island Prison. In the sparse line of a dozen or so criminals, Su TianNan, wearing heavy shackles, was in the center of the line.

Compared to the other tall Europeans, Su TianNan here looked like a high school student who hadn't yet come of age, with a thin build and looking utterly unsafe.

The prison's receiving and management personnel led the group of prisoners into the supervised area and did detailed file registration for everyone in the examination room.

Logically speaking, Su TianNan had not yet been tried by the judicial authorities, and his identity was still that of a suspect, not having been confirmed as a criminal, so he should have been detained in a pre-trial detention facility, not directly sent down to the prison.

This shows that the relevant departments in the upper echelons of the military had no intention of releasing this key figure in the "Seven Islands Incident" in the short term, and may even skip the so-called judicial judgment process. In the end, how long he would stay would depend entirely on how the higher-ups negotiated.

The unlucky older brother, had no stains on his life, and he himself didn't think that getting rid of a dirty place like Seven Islands was committing a crime, but... in the end, an arm can't twist a thigh.

After a series of inspections and registrations.

Su TianNan received a prison uniform and a large package of daily necessities, and was finally given a detention number—2080!

……

In a roadside food stall in Dragon City, Yu Mingyuan ate clams, not even raising his head as he asked, "Lao Kong, do you feel a little resentful?!"
