Chapter 428 Tiger Tally

Two hours later, the banquet at the Qin residence concluded. Due to his physical condition, Su Tianyu was to be temporarily sent to a military hospital in a nearby city for recuperation.

Just before he left, Qin Yu looked at Su Tianyu and suddenly called out, "Little Su, wait a moment."

Jiangzhou, who was about to see Su Tianyu off, immediately stopped.

Qin Yu walked into his bedroom next door and opened a pear wood cabinet. Inside, there were many old objects, mostly valuable antiques.

Qin Yu carefully took out a sandalwood box. The box wasn't large, but it was heavy and emitted a pleasant sandalwood fragrance.

Soon, Qin Yu returned to the hall, smiling as he said to Su Tianyu, "Little Su, I have a gift for you."

Su Tianyu was taken aback. Qin Yu had already opened the wooden box, revealing two bronze objects inside. He said, "Many years ago, a very good friend of mine gave me this gift—Han Dynasty tiger tallies. He told me that in those days, the tiger tally was divided into two halves, one kept by the military administration and the other given to the commander. Only when the two halves were joined could troops be mobilized, a very auspicious meaning. Now, I'm giving it to you."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu immediately felt a great deal of pressure and waved his hand, saying, "This is too precious for me!"

"This is nothing."

Qin Yu smiled, placed the items directly into Su Tianyu's hand, and then pointed to the young man standing beside him, "With this, you can mobilize him. His name is Wang Dingyuan, my younger brother's son."

Qin Yu glanced at Wang Dingyuan and joked, "We're getting old. To me, he's like Deng Ai to Wei, Jiang Wei to Shu!"

Teased by his godfather, Wang Dingyuan scratched his head a little embarrassed. Su Tianyu looked at him with some surprise.

During the meal, Wang Dingyuan had hardly said a word, occasionally pouring wine and serving food for Qin Yu, very low-key. He hadn't expected him to have such a background.

Qin Yu patted Wang Dingyuan's shoulder and continued, turning to Su Tianyu, "You should rest and recuperate first, give Xiao Yuan some time to prepare."

Su Tianyu understood everything now, realizing that this Wang Dingyuan was also a big shot. However, because the other party was young and he didn't know his position, he wisely addressed him, "Brother Wang, let's communicate more!"

Wang Dingyuan laughed heartily, "Easy, easy!"

The group chatted for a few more minutes, and finally Jiangzhou saw Su Tianyu off from the Qin residence and onto the car.

...

A moment later, inside the van outside.

An Qiqi, sitting in the car, immediately asked upon seeing Su Tianyu, "What kind of person is that old man?"

An Qiqi had originally wanted to enter the Qin residence together, but after careful consideration, she felt that it was their first meeting after all, and the topics discussed might be private, so it was not appropriate to have too many people present.

Including the Hua district, she heard that only Jiangzhou and Wang Dingyuan were present, so An Qiqi stayed in the car, not participating in this meeting.

However, there would be more contact in the future, and then An Qiqi would naturally meet as a representative of the An family.

Su Tianyu sat in the car, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "A generation of枭雄 (xiāo xióng – powerful and ambitious figures)!"

As soon as the words came out, he felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he added, "No, now we should say a generation of heroes."

An Qiqi nodded and asked, "How did the talks go?"

Su Tianyu looked much more relaxed, "Very smoothly!"

"That's good, that's good..."

A big stone fell from An Qiqi's heart, and she couldn't help but smile, "We've come through this near-death experience and finally see some results."

The smile was a little bitter, and Su Tianyu reached out and gently held her small hand.

At this time, the car had slowly started, heading towards the city.

An Qiqi thought for a moment, and then said, "I just received a call from Dad. He told me that The Dragon City Rises..."

An Qiqi leaned close to Su Tianyu's ear and whispered a few words.

After listening, Su Tianyu fell silent, seemingly thinking about something.

An Qiqi looked at him and couldn't help but say, "Dad isn't quite sure about Gu Baisun either."

Su Tianyu thought for a moment, his face hardly showing any waves, and said calmly, "Don't rush, let's see what results he gives."

"Okay, I'll tell Dad."

The two sat in the car, saying nothing more, as the car quietly drove towards the city.

...

At the same time, The Dragon City Rises, An family military headquarters.

An Zecheng was sitting in his office, looking at some intelligence materials sent by Liu Hongxu.

After a while, there was a knock on the office door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Enter!"

Liu Hongxu, who had just returned from running errands, pushed the door open, quickly came to An Zecheng, and said in a low voice, "Commander, that's all the relevant information. What do you think we should do?"

After communicating with Su Tianyu, An Zecheng had a rough judgment in his mind, so he instructed, "Since this lead was provided by Gu Baisun, he must know the specifics better. You go find him, have him send someone who understands the situation to take our people there."

"Okay, I'll go find him."

Without saying anything else, Liu Hongxu immediately turned and left.

...

An hour later, Liu Hongxu arrived at a secluded sanatorium.

This sanatorium was built in a very remote part of The Dragon City Rises, surrounded by An family guard posts, heavily protected.

As a high-level leader of The Dragon City Rises, Gu Baisun was staying in this sanatorium, undergoing the corresponding quarantine and investigation.

Led by several guards, Liu Hongxu quickly came to a lounge on the third floor.

Liu Hongxu knocked on the door, and a calm voice came from inside, "Enter."

After entering, the environment of the entire lounge came into view. The room was clean and tidy, with all the necessary furniture. If it weren't for the restriction of personal freedom, it would be a good place for recuperation and rest.

Liu Hongxu looked at him and took the lead in saying, "There are clues to the two words you provided."

"What do I need to do?" Gu Baisun asked.

Liu Hongxu followed up with another sentence, "You've been following this lead, you understand it better. Send someone who understands the situation, and we'll quickly implement this matter."

Gu Baisun looked up at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Bring Lao Guo (Old Guo) here, I'll say a few words to him, and have him go with you."

Liu Hongxu looked at him suspiciously. Gu Baisun smiled and said, "I'm here, what are you afraid of? It's just a few words of explanation."

Liu Hongxu thought for a moment, nodded, and instructed the guards beside him.

After a while, Guo Zhengdao was brought out from another room and sent here.

Gu Baisun glanced at him and reminded, "Just give them the results, don't try too hard, pay attention to safety."

Guo Zhengdao nodded slowly, "I understand."

...

There will be another chapter later, posted at nine o'clock!
