Chapter 1 Collaboration

It was dawn on the highway to Huazhou. Su Tianyu sat in the car, reaching out to Jin Xiaobao and saying, "Cooperation is fine, but you must agree to one condition."

"Please, speak!" Jin Xiaobao nodded.

"You should be clear that this investigation of No. 7 Island is an official action by Dragon City, so there can't be any problems in the general direction." Su Tianyu said bluntly, "No matter what your purpose is, you can't disrupt our plans, and you must follow our actions as the main focus."

Jin Xiaobao immediately responded, "No problem. Our goal is to bring down the Bao Long Group and Hui Hong Pharmaceuticals, and to obtain some of the more confidential business information on No. 7 Island. You will definitely be in charge of the overall direction. We're just hitching a ride."

"In that case, let's exchange contact information so we can communicate at any time."

"Okay, Mr. Su."

After reaching a consensus, Jin Xiaobao left his contact information and left with his two followers.

Su Tianyu sat in the car and thought for a moment, then immediately contacted Director Liu in Dragon City, asking him to help get two helicopters to send everyone back as quickly as possible.

Around 5:30 in the morning, just as everyone arrived at the boarding point, Su Tianyu's phone rang, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

"Hello? Hello!"

"Liu Zi, it's Big Brother," Su Tiannan's voice sounded.

"Where are you?!" Su Tianyu asked urgently, "Why haven't you called back?"

"Listen to me, I've made a major breakthrough here." Su Tiannan said in a low voice, "I'm going to No. 7 Island soon. Send someone to Huafu to watch over someone for me."

Su Tianyu was stunned, "You're going to No. 7 Island? What do you mean?!"

"I kidnapped Zhang Taotao. At first, she didn't cooperate, so in a fit of anger, I came to Huafu and kidnapped her younger brother as well." Su Tiannan replied immediately, "Now she's compromised and is trying to find a way to take me to No. 7 Island. I plan to sneak in first, and then we'll work together from the inside out."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu was furious. He walked to the side and roared, "Big Brother! Why didn't you discuss this with me first? You're all alone. What if something happens?!"

"I can't always let you do everything yourself." Su Tiannan was silent for a moment, "We're family. No matter who is strong or weak, everyone should contribute when something happens. If I had told you in advance, you wouldn't have agreed, would you?"

Su Tianyu was speechless.

"Don't worry, I'm not the Second Brother. I won't stumble over the same stone twice." Su Tiannan paused and said, "Zhang Taotao cares a lot about her younger brother. As long as she doesn't die, I won't be in too much danger."

"I'll send someone to find you and have Lao Hei follow you..."

"No need, Zhang Taotao and I have already left. There's no time." Su Tiannan refused, "I'll give you an address. Have someone pick up Zhang Taotao's younger brother immediately. As long as you have this kid in your hands, Zhang Taotao will definitely listen."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his brother, Su Tianyu could only gently urge him, "I have leads here too. Don't act rashly if something happens. Call me and discuss it with me at any time."

"No problem," Su Tiannan nodded.

"Okay, give me the address. I'll send someone over now."

"Don't mention my name to anyone. No one knows that Zhang Taotao and I are together except you," Su Tiannan instructed.

"I understand!"

After saying that, the two ended the call. Su Tianyu stood by the car and thought for a long time, then finally called Da Xiong in Huafu and asked him to quickly pick up Zhang Taotao's younger brother.

About an hour and a half later, Da Xiong rushed from the boxing gym to an unfinished building and found Zhang Taotao's younger brother in a trash can. He was tied up with four iron chains, his mouth was covered with thick tape, and he had been given sleeping pills. He was lying inside, sleeping soundly.

"Pa!"

Da Xiong lifted Zhang Taotao's younger brother out of the can with one arm, like he was carrying a chick, and threw him into the car.

After driving away from the spot, Da Xiong sent Su Tianyu a text message: "...Don't worry, bro, I have him in my hands. Even Jesus can't save him."

...

The day passed without incident.

In Dragon City, it was a little after 7:00 p.m.

Su Tianyu, holding Hu Zi's confession, went to the mayor's office again to meet Li Mingsheng. But he didn't expect that Ouyang Zhen was also there, obviously having just arrived for the No. 7 Island incident.

The three of them sat down, and Li Yuan, whose injuries hadn't fully healed, walked out the door.

"Tell me about your investigation results," Li Mingsheng said, picking up his teacup.

Su Tianyu organized his thoughts and immediately introduced in a low voice, "The captured Hu Zi already confessed on the plane. This time we gained a lot. He confessed a lot of detailed information about No. 7 Island. First of all, this No. 7 Island isn't the only one. There are other main and subsidiary islands nearby, including other islands numbered one through eight. This area was called the Carland Islands before the Age of Discovery. After the Little Ice Age, it was uninhabited and abandoned for more than forty years. After the permafrost recovered, it was assigned to the EU Joint Political Auxiliary, considered common property, but ten years ago, the EU government publicly auctioned off the island's ownership, and it was bought out by Hui Hong Pharmaceuticals in one fell swoop."

Li Mingsheng nodded slowly.

"No. 7 Island should be the place where the abducted people are gathered." Su Tianyu continued to narrate, "The general situation is the same as we guessed before. Hui Hong Pharmaceuticals and Bao Long Group are abducting so many people from outside the region, not to do drug trials."

Hearing this, Li Mingsheng's face turned extremely gloomy.

"It's human race biological weapons research." Su Tianyu said with equal resentment, "According to Hu Zi, 60% of the people they abducted are Asians, and 40% are blacks, which matches the current international situation. The biggest hypothetical enemy of District One is the Hua District, so Asians account for 60%, and the biggest threat to the southern border of District One is Old Mexico, so there are also blacks."

"Shameless to the extreme!! Despicable to the extreme!!" Li Mingsheng cursed fiercely.

Next to him, even Ouyang Zhen, who had always believed that the People's Political Party was the hope for overseas Chinese, cursed with a face full of resentment, "The existence of this place is destroying our people! This is anti-human."

Su Tianyu paused, picked up the information and continued, "No. 7 Island should be one of the core islands. There is a permanent private armed force of 400 people on the island. Their level of armament should be higher than that of ordinary troops. The nature is a bit like a special forces unit. The members are composed of retired soldiers with at least five years of service experience, mostly from foreign legions."

After listening, Li Mingsheng asked directly, "What do you want to do?"

"With this level of armed forces, it's obviously unrealistic to sneak onto the island, quietly rescue people, or find concrete clues and investigate through official channels." Su Tianyu replied softly, "As long as there is any disturbance on No. 7 Island, the private armed forces on the island will definitely clean up the scene as soon as possible, and then refuse to admit that it has anything to do with them. Isn't this their usual tactic?"

"Give me the plan."

"Attack the island!" Su Tianyu said concisely.
