Chapter 1 The Phone Call

The call was from Yu Mingyuan. The first thing he said was that An Qiqi was in trouble, which surprised Su Tianyu.

However, judging from Yu Mingyuan's way of addressing An Qiqi on the phone, he was quite nervous about the call, pronouncing his cousin's name somewhat stiffly.

Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment: "What happened to her?!"

"...She was framed and is involved in a murder case." Yu Mingyuan briefly introduced An Qiqi's situation on the phone, then went straight to the point: "I'm calling you not for any other reason, but based on the information I have, it's likely that the Xue family is behind this. You're with the Chi Army outside the district and are familiar with the situation there, so I want you to help me find out some information."

After listening to the general course of events, Su Tianyu asked in a calm voice, "Are you sure it has something to do with the Xue family?"

"My aunt asked a friend to retrieve the surveillance footage from around the hotel. The girl who died met with Xue Nan the night before," Yu Mingyuan replied. "Xue Nan also went to the scene after the incident."

"You saw the person, but there's no evidence, is that what you mean?" Su Tianyu asked calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"That's right." Yu Mingyuan frowned and replied, "This matter can't be easily resolved through legal channels. Qiqi is already locked in, so we can only use unconventional methods."

"What do you want to know?"

"Information about the Xue family, including their strongholds for selling goods in the rebel army area, the activity areas of core members, and so on." Yu Mingyuan immediately added, "...This...I won't ask you to help for nothing, you can...!"

"I didn't agree to help you," Su Tianyu replied blandly.

After this sentence, they both fell silent, and the atmosphere of the call became a little awkward.

"Okay, forget it then, I'll ask someone else..."

"If you want to go after the Xue family, come to Sri Lanka," Su Tianyu said lightly, "It just so happens that I've run into them recently because of other things, so we can meet and talk."

Yu Mingyuan paused for a moment: "Okay, I'll probably go over tomorrow morning."

"That's it."

After saying that, the two ended the call.

Su Tianyu slowly put down his phone, his expression a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"...Commander Su, Commander Su!" Sun Wei called out tentatively.

After being called six or seven times in a row, Su Tianyu came back to his senses and looked at Sun Wei: "Oh, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you? Is something wrong?" Sun Wei asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." Su Tianyu reached for the table, inexplicably picked up a lighter, put it in his mouth, and asked Sun Wei, "Do you have a light?"

"Huh?!"

Sun Wei looked confused: "What's wrong with you? You put the lighter in your mouth!"

Su Tianyu reacted immediately, took off the lighter, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied, "Okay, you can go first, I want to think about something."

"Okay."

Sun Wei immediately stood up and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Su Tianyu called out.

"What's wrong?" Sun Wei turned his head.

"Go back and make a file of information about the Xue family, including the number of armed personnel, conventional equipment, and other details. If you don't know how to do it, ask Xin Xiaodong for help," Su Tianyu said in a commanding tone.

"Understood!" Sun Wei nodded.

"Go ahead." Su Tianyu waved his hand.

After Sun Wei left quickly, Su Tianyu sat back on the sofa for a long time, unconsciously loosened his collar, and cursed, "Damn it! You're really courting death!"

...

Washington, D.C., at the gate of the State Police Federation.

An Qiqi's mother, Yu Zhen, called Lao An: "My friend just called me, and the You family has turned against us, saying that Qiqi is the main culprit and clearing themselves completely. The detention procedures at the Federation have been completed, and the child will be sent to the detention unit in a while."

An Zecheng gritted his teeth: "Okay, I understand."

"Going through the legal process is inevitable," Yu Zhen said very calmly, "Only by finding the person who set up the situation, letting them implicate each other, can the event be restored and Qiqi be legally acquitted. I've already asked Mingyuan to come over. The surveillance footage also shows that the person who contacted Wang Ying was a member of the Xue family from outside the district, the lackey family behind the Qing Yi Bureau."

"Okay, I understand."

"Hurry up and take care of it!!! I'll contact a lawyer to make sure Qiqi doesn't suffer too much inside."

"The other side is targeting our daughter to move against us. Now that she's been arrested, they've achieved their goal. It's useless for them to do anything to Qiqi inside," An Zecheng replied.

"Why is it useless?! Is it because they know that you won't completely compromise because of your daughter's case?!" Yu Zhen asked angrily.

"Believe me, I'm more anxious than you!" An Zecheng replied simply, "I guarantee you that unless I die, she will never carry a stain for the rest of her life!"

Yu Zhen was silent.

"That's it, I'm going to see Tan Hengqiang."

"Okay!"

The couple hung up the phone.

Yu Zhen paused for a long time. Just as she was about to urge the driver to leave, she saw Mr. You and a group of men in suits coming out.

The leading man in the suit was the one who threatened An Qiqi in the interrogation room and pinched her wound.

Yu Zhen also knew this person. His name was Wu Qing, a lackey of the Zhou family in the old faction, who also worked in the Chinese General Corps.

The fact that the You family was walking with him was enough to show that they had reached an agreement in private.

"Swish!"

Yu Zhen deliberately lowered the car window and said to the driver, "Drive ahead of them."

The driver drove the car forward twenty meters and stopped next to Mr. You and the others.

Everyone turned their heads, and Yu Zhen looked at Mr. You and Wu Qing.

"Oh, Councilor Yu," Wu Qing said with a smile, waving his hand, "Long time no see!"

"Do people in the old faction not have children?" Yu Zhen sat in the car, staring at Wu Qing with her eyes, and asked in a calm voice.

Wu Qing shrugged his shoulders: "Yes, but..."

"That's good enough." Yu Zhen looked at him and slowly raised the car window: "Let's go."

"Buzz!"

The car left the Federation gate, and Wu Qing looked at the tail of the car with a gloomy look: "This woman is more difficult to deal with than Lao An when she goes crazy."

"Why?" someone next to him asked.

"Her political style is completely different from Lao An's. This woman dared to say in the parliament that we are third-class citizens...do you think she's normal?" Wu Qing replied lightly: "But people like this die quickly."

...

The next morning, a little after nine o'clock, Yu Mingyuan led a team to the outskirts of Sri Lanka and waited on the highway outside the Chi Army defense zone.

After a while, seven or eight off-road vehicles drove over at high speed.
