Chapter 1 Hua District

Hua District, Pujiang Hospital in South Shanghai.

The battle lasted only thirty seconds, and the gunfire gradually died down.

All of the men brought by the bearded man were captured. This included his squad, as well as the people in the downstairs power distribution room and the director's office, all of whom were caught.

The bearded man knew he wouldn't survive the moment he was captured and tried to shoot himself. But just as he raised his gun, a sniper shattered his arm with a single shot, preventing him from taking his own life.

After these people who attacked Su Tianyu were brought under control, the Hua District military intelligence department interrogated them in the most concise and effective way. However, these people had received extremely professional training, and their willpower was very strong; they refused to talk even if it meant death.

However, this resistance only served to delay the Hua District military intelligence department. In a very short time, Fu Zhen had already used a powerful intelligence network to confirm the identities of the bearded man and other gunmen, and had filtered out their interpersonal relationships, weaving a very clear picture of their network.

Based on these networks, they roughly locked in some directions. At the same time, the periphery also began secretly summoning and arresting people.

For the unified Hua District, these things were really not too difficult.

Soon, that same evening, Su Tianyu, who was in another sanatorium, received information from Fu Zhen. Apart from being a little weak, he was basically fine.

The two talked on the phone for a long time. After hanging up, Su Tianyu sat on the bed, thought for a long time, picked up his phone, and dialed a Dragon City number.

...

Dragon City, General Administration of Unity.

It was late at night in Hua District, but in Dragon City, the sun was still shining brightly.

Gu Baisun sat in his office, burying himself in a large number of documents.

Since the start of the martial law interrogation, a large number of interrogation reports were compiled and sent to him every day. Gu Baisun would screen these intelligence reports to ensure the information was accurate.

This workload was undoubtedly huge, causing Gu Baisun to work overtime every day. Except for a morning report to Lao Li, he was almost always stuck in his office.

He didn't know how many cups of coffee he had refilled on his desk; he relied on these things to stay awake during these days of work.

Just as Gu Baisun was looking at a newly delivered interrogation report, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Gu Baisun picked it up and saw that it was Su Tianyu calling. He immediately got up and answered the phone, "Hello, Director Su?"

Su Tianyu's voice was very calm as he spoke directly to Gu Baisun, "The people who assassinated me here have been caught."

Gu Baisun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Did you find anything out? Is it related to Dragon City?"

Su Tianyu shook his head and said, "We haven't found any accurate clues yet. After all, time is too tight, and we haven't had time to interrogate many things. However, they will spit it out sooner or later; they won't be able to resist for too long. According to the gunman's interpersonal relationships investigated by Hua District, we may be able to deduce a direction."

Gu Baisun pressed, "What direction?"

"People who are related to both Dragon City and Hua District," Su Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many, actually. You need to be prepared now. I'm handing this matter over to you to handle."

Gu Baisun understood immediately and said, "Okay, I understand!"

Su Tianyu paused and continued to instruct, "Baisun, I'm going back soon. Before I go back, you must ensure the stability of Dragon City. Especially the two leaders, you must focus on their safety; there must be absolutely no mistakes!"

At this point, Su Tianyu no longer needed to do specific work. His current identity was more like the chess master of the entire team, only needing to think about the next move on the chessboard.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in Dragon City."

Gu Baisun nodded, then hung up the phone. He walked to the window, opened it, lit a cigarette, and fell into a long silence as he looked at Dragon City outside.

"Da da da..."

"Boom boom..."

In the distance, the sound of artillery fire could still be faintly heard, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The entire Dragon City was still under the threat of the enemy, in imminent danger.

Before this, Gu Baisun once suspected that Su Tianyu's various acts of delegating power to him were a life-or-death test. As long as he showed the slightest sign of betrayal, the other party would immediately strike mercilessly.

He never doubted whether Su Tianyu had such ability! Lao Li's team was able to get to where it was today because of his internal planning.

Therefore, Gu Baisun was also constantly testing Su Tianyu.

Unfortunately, after so many years, he still hadn't been able to figure it out. The attitude Su Tianyu had always shown him was only two words: trust.

Absolute trust in his work!

In this situation, Gu Baisun believed that either Su Tianyu's acting skills were too good, or he had never thought that he would betray him.

Regardless of which possibility, it represented the same thing... Su Tianyu saw through him very thoroughly, just as he had seen through Su Tianyu.

This was the unique tacit understanding accumulated between the two over the years!

Gu Baisun pondered for a long time. He was not a hesitant person to begin with, and at this moment, he completely let go of the last trace of hesitation in his heart and made his decision.

"Bang."

After being exposed to the cold wind for a long time, Gu Baisun closed the window and quickly returned to his desk and sat down.

Combining the information Su Tianyu had given him earlier, Gu Baisun keenly thought of one person, and that person was He Yan, who was imprisoned in the General Administration of Unity!

That's right, Su Tianyu was right; there were indeed not many people who were related to both Dragon City and Hua District. After careful consideration, Gu Baisun felt that there was a big problem with this He Yan.

Thinking of this, Gu Baisun no longer hesitated, and directly picked up the phone and dialed an internal number.

"Beep beep—"

The phone was quickly connected, and the voice of Lao Li, the head of the interrogation section, sounded, "Hello?"

Gu Baisun said straightforwardly, "Bring He Yan out; I want to interrogate him personally."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The other party hung up the phone, and Gu Baisun sat in his chair, falling into contemplation again.

...

Ten minutes later, in the interrogation room.

The people from the interrogation section had already brought He Yan out and locked him in the interrogation room.

At this time, He Yan was thin, pale, and stained with a lot of blood. Many of his wounds had not yet healed.

He sat in the chair, his expression a little numb, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Creak—"

The interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open, and He Yan was startled. He suddenly looked out the door and saw Gu Baisun walking in with two guards.

He Yan sat back down, but his hands trembled involuntarily. Obviously, during this period of time, he had received a lot of "care" from the interrogation section of the General Administration of Unity.

An interrogation section staff member pulled out a chair, and Gu Baisun sat down, crossed his legs, looked at He Yan in front of him, sized him up and down, and then slowly said, "Not many people can deceive me; you're one of them."
