Chapter 358 Hostage

Yu Daye's death made Su Tianyu feel extremely guilty. If Zhang Chao had told Su Tiannan in advance that he had taken the item from the other side, the association's preparations would have been more adequate, and this tragedy might not have occurred.

Su Tianyu's eyes were bloodshot as he choked Fei Pingsheng's neck with both hands, "My brother risked his life to help Zhang Chao, but you didn't even tell the truth! I might as well just kill you!"

"Bro... brother, we... we didn't know this thing was so important at first... The matter has already happened, we must try our best to make up for it, not fight amongst ourselves." Fei Pingsheng's face flushed red as he pushed Su Tianyu's chest with his hands, "I swear to God, we will definitely play our part!"

Su Tianyu glared at him, the strength in his hands loosening a little.

"The dead are gone, but the living still need to be saved, right? I'll go find information, I'll definitely find it." Fei Pingsheng said again.

"Hoo, hoo!"

Su Tianyu gasped and released the bald man's neck. He sat in the car and picked up a cigarette pack.

"Three days, at most three days, I'll give you a definite answer, okay?" Fei Pingsheng coughed twice, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he replied.

"Okay, but you have to stay in Dragon City." Su Tianyu lit a cigarette, calmed his emotions, and said, "If you can't find the information, I'll immediately detain you!"

Fei Pingsheng replied with a helpless expression, "Brother, I risked entering the city, do you think I'll run away?! Is it necessary for us to do this? I have to go back and lead my brothers to work."

"Don't talk nonsense, you must stay." Su Tianyu found it difficult to trust this seasoned veteran.

Fei Pingsheng touched his bald head, "How about this, I'll leave my wife with you as collateral. If you control her, I definitely can't run away, right?"

Su Tianyu was stunned when he heard this, looking at him incredulously, "What the hell are you talking about? What use is your wife to me?"

"Of course she's useful! My wife is also a backbone member of the team, she planned the kidnapping of Lao Pang." Fei Pingsheng's thinking was unconventional.

"……!" Su Tianyu stared at him dumbfounded, "Are... are you even human?"

"You helped Zhang Chao, I trust you. My wife enters the city, I go out, okay?" Fei Pingsheng asked.

Su Tianyu was silent.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Fei Pingsheng immediately became anxious and shouted, "Damn it, what are you still hesitating about? Do you want me to dig up my mother and leave her with you as collateral?"

Five minutes later, Fei Pingsheng made a call to his wife.

……

Around District One, on an unknown island.

Wang Zhen, wearing camouflage military uniform, sat in his office and said to a middle-aged Chinese man, "Just tell me directly, what exactly does the higher-up mean?!"

The middle-aged man sat on the sofa and said in a solemn tone, "Second Master and Miao Ziwei are both in District One. The Baolong Group has had two major incidents in a row recently, and the higher-ups and the Li family are also in talks…"

Wang Zhen waved his hand directly, "Don't beat around the bush, just get to the point!"

The middle-aged man sighed, "Second Master means that since the loose ends in Dragon City have been cleaned up, let's choose to settle the matter peacefully!"

"Settle the matter peacefully? Then what about my brother?!" Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're not going to care about him, are you?"

"It's not that we're not going to care, but rather to save him with a more gentle method." The middle-aged man immediately stood up and said, "The higher-ups will add your brother as a bargaining chip in the negotiations with the Li family, so that the Baolong Group will sacrifice some benefits to save Wang Xiong's life first, and then bring him back to District One for trial. This way, we can slowly get him out. Miao Ziwei also said that even if they sacrifice one percent, two percent of the mining rights, they can accept it."

"Bullshit!" Wang Zhen roared with wide eyes, "Are you taking me for a fool?! Those goods, and the legal person of Tianlan Company, were all handled by Second Master himself. He's basically been caught red-handed! Even if the Li family compromises and doesn't execute him, he'll still have to serve at least twenty years."

"President Wang, it's unrealistic for him to get out in a short period of time…!"

"Why is it unrealistic?" Wang Zhen interrupted, slamming the table and shouting, "I still have hostages in my hands, I still have cards, I can trade people with them!"

"If we trade people now, once something goes wrong and the base is exposed, and it involves the Baolong Group, then the responsibility…!" The middle-aged man still wanted to persuade him.

"I don't care about your responsibility! I'm asking you, who was Second Master handling dirty work for when he went to Dragon City? Now that the work is done, are you planning to let him rot in prison until he's an old man before he comes out?" Wang Zhen stared at him and roared, "Moreover, if you compromise, can you guarantee that the other side won't investigate?! Only when Second Master comes out will the loose ends in Dragon City be completely cleaned up, they won't be able to find anyone to sue!"

The middle-aged man was speechless.

"There's no room for negotiation, I must save Second Master." Wang Zhen frowned and picked up a cigarette pack, "Go back and tell Second Master, I can give up my own life, but I only have one brother."

"Okay, I'll mention this to Second Master." The middle-aged man sighed and changed the subject, "Then… then how should we deal with the goods? The people from Dragon City weren't brought out, and the base is urging us, we can't delay it any longer."

Wang Zhen lit a cigarette and thought for a moment before saying, "Damn it, can't they even wait two days! Then let's do this, I'll transfer the goods to them from somewhere else, at most a week."

"Can it be shorter?"

"Do you think I'm a god?! What you want are people, not radishes and cabbages! If we rush this, what if something goes wrong again?" Wang Zhen asked irritably.

"Okay, then one week."

"That's it." Wang Zhen waved his hand in reply.

"Okay, then you go ahead, I'll leave first."

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned and left.

Wang Zhen sat in his office, finished a cigarette, and immediately picked up the landline to dial a number, "Lao Lu, check for me, a person named Su Tianyu in Dragon City. He's the person in charge of Second Master's case, I want his detailed information."

……

Outside.

After the middle-aged man got into the car, he immediately dialed the mysterious Second Master's phone, "It's no use, Wang Zhen is definitely going to use the hostages in his hand to exchange for his brother."

"There's no room for negotiation?" Second Master asked.

"It's very difficult to communicate." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"What did he say about the goods?"

"He wants a week."

"……Okay, I understand, come back." Second Master said faintly.

……

After 10 p.m., a very old truck stopped at the entrance of the Tongji Association courtyard.

"They're here!" Fei Pingsheng in the courtyard immediately called out to Su Tianyu.

Everyone got up and was about to walk out of the courtyard when Fei Pingsheng's wife, Ah Hua, walked in with a murderous look on her face.

"Fei, you son of a bitch! You've even sunk to the point where you're making me be your hostage, are you?!" Ah Hua was almost driven mad.

Inside the courtyard, Da Bai blinked and said speechlessly, "Damn, this personality is really stimulating!"
