Chapter 365 Standoff

Su Tianyu sat in the car, smoking and waiting for news.

"Clatter!"

About twenty minutes later, the fence gate of the garrison was pulled open, and Gu Baisun walked out with his accompanying special operations team members, his face gloomy.

Su Tianyu immediately threw away his cigarette butt and proactively opened the car door for Gu Baisun: "How was it?"

"Not ideal." Gu Baisun got into the car and shook his head, responding, "I didn't even see their division commander, not even the head of the guard regiment showed up. The person who communicated with me was just a low-level staff officer. He told me that they weren't clear about any decisions from above. And their division commander, Parker, isn't at the garrison right now, but they've already called him and told us to wait."

"Damn it!"

Su Tianyu was disgusted. He loosened his collar, pondered for a long time, and then reached out and beckoned, "Bureau Chief Liu, come over here."

The deputy director of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau immediately approached: "Please advise!"

Su Tianyu instructed, "Continue to increase the troops. Transfer two thousand more soldiers to me and block all four entrances of the garrison."

"Yes!" The deputy director saluted and turned to mobilize troops.

Su Tianyu turned his head again and instructed Gu Baisun, "Go back to the Security Bureau and transfer our five hundred-man guard regiment here as well. Block off the streets for me."

"I'll take care of it." Gu Baisun nodded and got out of the car.

Su Tianyu sat in the car, thought for a moment, took out his phone, and called An Qiqi: "Qiqi, I have an urgent matter. Come over here. The location is..."

...

After the phone call, not long after, three An-affiliated military vehicles drove over. An Qiqi jumped out of the car, glanced at the surrounding crowd, quickly walked over, and got into Su Tianyu's car.

"What's the situation?" After getting in the car, An Qiqi pointed to the two groups of people facing off outside: "What's going on?"

"The new garrison division is making trouble and detained my brother-in-law." Su Tianyu explained softly, "They intercepted him as soon as he got off the plane."

An Qiqi pressed, "What's the reason?"

"Suspected of military espionage." Su Tianyu responded coldly, "There are procedures, approved by the Second Faction. I've already made my brother-in-law's identity part of the Security Bureau. Next, we'll put pressure on them."

An Qiqi guessed Su Tianyu's intention: "You want to borrow people from me?"

"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded, "I don't have many people on my side, and the pressure from the police system probably isn't enough for them. See if you can transfer two thousand people from your An faction to surround them for me. In this situation, no one will make the first move, but a contest is necessary."

"Got it, I'll make a call." An Qiqi didn't hesitate, immediately got out of the car, took out her phone, and called her father.

After three minutes, An Qiqi returned to the car and said to Su Tianyu, "My dad said that we absolutely can't fight now. Whoever makes the first move loses. And the attitude of the Tan faction is hard to fathom, but you can borrow people."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu pointed at the 10th Infantry Division's compound and cursed, "Ask them if they dare to fight?! He's just using a chicken feather as an arrow, making trouble, forcing me to use armed force...!"

An Qiqi also knew what Su Tianyu was angry about, gently patted his arm, and didn't try to persuade him further.

The car became quiet. Su Tianyu frowned, looking at the garrison compound, and knew in his heart that tonight was going to be a time-consuming affair. But since the other party wanted to play, he would play along with them.

...

Around one o'clock in the morning, a rumbling vibration came from the street.

Looking around, rows of military vehicles were parked on both sides of the street, some from the An faction and some from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau.

Dense masses of soldiers jumped out of the vehicles, surrounding the garrison division's base tightly.

At the intersection, a large number of Security Bureau guards also held guns, set up警戒 lines, and sealed off every exit.

Not only that, but more than a dozen tanks also drove over and parked in front of the garrison gate.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

In a burst of metallic gear sounds, all the tank guns rotated and aimed at the garrison compound.

"Tut tut tut!"

In the sky, more than a dozen helicopters circled continuously, and the searchlights above illuminated the entire compound, shining as bright as day.

Under the illumination of the lights, the expressions of the garrison soldiers were also somewhat nervous, obviously not expecting Longcheng to make such a big move.

"If you want to play, I'll play with you. Let's go." Su Tianyu said expressionlessly, pushed open the car door, and strode towards the garrison gate.

An Qiqi, Gu Baisun, and Liu, the director of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, led two guard companies, following behind him.

"Open the gate!" Su Tianyu walked to the fence gate and shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers quickly stepped forward and forcibly pulled the fence gate to the side.

Su Tianyu strode inside.

A deputy commander of the guard regiment stepped forward and shouted at him in English, "Stop! This is a military garrison!"

Su Tianyu glanced at him indifferently.

"Pa!"

Director Liu stepped forward and slapped the deputy commander, sending him tumbling.

A large number of soldiers began to surge in aggressively, and clashed with the soldiers of the garrison, pushing each other. The level of physical actions continued to escalate, and it looked like the conflict was about to escalate.

Just then, the staff officer who had communicated with Gu Baisun earlier hurriedly ran over, shouting as he ran, "Stop, stop it, everyone!"

After stopping the soldiers at the door, the staff officer quickly ran to Su Tianyu, panting and saying, "Su... Commander Su, what are you trying to do?"

Su Tianyu pointed at the other party, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Now, either hand over the person, or we'll go in and find him ourselves."

The staff officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Commander Su, we have just contacted the division commander and communicated with him. At most, in one hour, after the instructions from above are approved, the person will be released. Please wait a little longer!"

Su Tianyu glanced at him, his brows furrowed.

The staff officer quickly added, "You wouldn't start a war just because of waiting for this one hour, would you? And even if he is your Security Bureau's special military advisor, we still have the right to interrogate him, right? Even if we release him, we need to have an approval process!"

Su Tianyu was silent for a long time, his heart full of anger, but he still maintained his rationality: "Okay, I'll give you one hour. If the person isn't released within one hour, I'll make your entire division headquarters go silent!"

After saying this, Su Tianyu turned and walked out, leading his people away from the garrison, and waited outside.

...

Around three o'clock in the morning, in the garrison building office, Parker was awakened by a knock on the door. He picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and softly shouted, "Enter!"

The guard regiment commander Noah pushed open the door, quickly walked to Parker, saluted him and said, "General, Su Tianyu has mobilized five thousand people and surrounded our garrison."

"Such a big reaction?" Parker asked expressionlessly, "What's the situation now?"

Noah immediately replied, "Su Tianyu is still restrained, and hasn't taken further military action, but he said... he's only giving us one hour."

"Hehe." Parker smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, then let's release the person. Don't delay their family reunion."

"Yes!" Noah nodded, about to walk out.

"Wait a moment." Parker suddenly stopped him and added, "After releasing the person, help me take a message to him..."

...

Around three o'clock in the morning, Noah personally escorted Gui Mengjun to Su Tianyu.

Looking at Gui Mengjun, whose lips were a little purple from the cold, Su Tianyu's eyes were blazing. He hurriedly led his men to greet him, and pulled him, asking, "Brother-in-law, are you okay? Did they lay a hand on you?!"

"I'm fine." Gui Mengjun looked calm and smiled at Su Tianyu, "Alright, let's go home. The old man must be getting anxious."

Gu Baisun stepped forward, took off his coat, and draped it over Gui Mengjun's shoulders.

Su Tianyu coldly glanced at Noah, and was about to leave with his men.

"Wait a moment." Noah called out, "Commander Su, our general asked me to bring you a message."

Su Tianyu turned around and stared at Noah.

Noah's eyes were full of provocative meaning: "Our general said, if your Chinese United Conference insists on continuing to be held, then things like today will definitely not be uncommon."

After hearing this, Su Tianyu smiled with a gloomy face: "Okay, you tell your general, I heard that."

The two sides' troops dispersed, and the standoff finally came to an end.

...

On the way back in the car, Su Tianyu turned to tell Gu Baisun, "Go back and give notice that the conference is postponed. Let's deal with this garrison division first!"
