Chapter 133 The Situation Inside the Gui Family

Su Tianyu stayed at the Chijun base in Casallo for less than three hours in total. After talking with Zhao Weihu, he left in a hurry.

During their conversation, there was no third person present, so no one knew what they talked about.

After leaving the Chijun base, Su Tianyu contacted Brother Pao and told him that he had finished coding the disk on his side and was ready for battle.

Brother Pao was very satisfied with Gou Liuzi's efficiency. He told him to immediately take his men back to the old triangle, and to go there secretly, without telling anyone except those directly involved in the matter.

After the two finished talking, Su Tianyu arrived in Dragon City in the evening and met with Yu Mingyuan, Kong Zheng Hui and others to inquire about the situation of the garrison.

Inside the Yu family's villa, Yu Mingyuan sat on the sofa and said softly to Su Tianyu, "It's going smoothly. This matter that You Yifan stirred up has disgusted the garrison enough. My Uncle Wen is very angry. Plus, with Lao Li entering the game, he's willing to lend a hand."

"Then there's no problem." Su Tianyu immediately replied, "Let's prepare to set off."

Kong Zheng Hui rubbed his palms: "This time the matter is relatively big, let's all go, I'll go too."

"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded: "Our time is a bit tight. The Gui family's meaning is that we have to return to the old triangle before the end of the exhibition, so we have to pack our things immediately and prepare to leave."

"Alright!"

In this way, except for Zhou Tonghui, who was still in District One and hadn't returned, all the male veteran backbone members of the Tongji Association packed their bags and set off.

In order to save time, Wen Zhanbo used his connections in the garrison troops to directly stuff Su Tianyu and others onto a military transport plane to the YAM at a little after one o'clock that night, in order to save travel time.

...

More than twenty hours later.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, local time in the old triangle, Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tiannan, Su Tianbei, Kong Zheng Hui, and Bai Hongbo arrived in the suburbs of Hanoi.

The group waited in a herbal tea shop for about an hour, and Brother Pao arrived with three drivers.

Brother Pao glanced at everyone and asked Su Tianyu in surprise, "No guns? Just you guys?"

"The paratroopers have also arrived, they didn't come with us." Su Tianyu replied.

Only then did Brother Pao feel relieved, and he immediately nodded and replied, "Let's go, we'll talk in the car."

"Let's go!" Yu Mingyuan winked at the crowd, and the six of them got into the other party's three off-road vehicles, while Yu Mingyuan, Kong Zheng Hui, and Su Tianyu, the three brains of the operation, sat in the same car as Brother Pao.

The convoy set off, and Su Tianyu asked from the back seat, "What are we going to do?"

"Now that you're back, I won't hide it from you." Brother Pao said, raising his eyebrows, "There are people in the Gui family who are collaborating with the enemy, but we can't pinpoint who it is yet, so we have to clean up the inside first."

Yu Mingyuan asked curiously, "Do we even need to pinpoint it? It must be Gui Mengxiong. The one who sent us away from the island that day was his man."

Brother Pao waved his hand, "Gui Mengxiong alone wouldn't dare to do such a big thing. There's someone else in the Gui family who's on the same side as him. Let me briefly introduce the situation here. The Gui family has a pyramid-like management model. There are many family members and many relatives by marriage. After Master Gui retired to the second line, Meng Jun takes care of everything in the family."

Everyone listened quietly, and Brother Pao continued to introduce the situation of the Gui family.

Within the Gui family, the status and "level" of members and descendants are clearly defined. Direct descendants are above surnames, and surnames are above relatives by marriage. That is to say, those who truly control the core power and wealth of the family are basically the several sons of Master Gui, followed by the daughters and cousins.

The Gui family has been entrenched in the local area for nearly a hundred years. From a small family, they have developed into the absolute wealthy family they are today, which is the result of countless hardships and political investments.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven. After Master Gui's lineage led the family into a period of glory through three generations, countless relatives by marriage naturally came to join them, and these people slowly rose up with the help of the Gui family.

Many of the businesses under the Gui family, such as small military equipment factories, daily necessities factories, real estate contracting, and coastal trade, are almost all handed over to relatives by marriage and collateral family members to manage. After these people went from poor to rich, their mentality naturally changed.

People's greed and desires are endless. Look at those corrupt officials from ancient times to the present, which one didn't first solve the problem of food and clothing, then solve the problem of material things, and finally covet power, step by step wanting to climb up, until they either succeed or are crushed to pieces.

Do they really lack money? Of course not! But why do they still do this? Because desires have levels and grades, and they are constantly rising. It's like seeing this mountain and then seeing an even higher mountain, luring you to climb endlessly.

Without desire, a person can't live. Even monks want to attain enlightenment, so who can get rid of the thirst in their hearts? Unless they're dead.

The Gui family is a large tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, so naturally the internal situation is very complicated. There are many people like Gui Mengxiong and other relatives by marriage with ulterior motives.

When the old man was full of energy, these people didn't dare to jump out and cause trouble, but now that the old man is getting worse day by day, many people's thoughts will naturally change.

Without the Gui family, the family members of these relatives by marriage might never see how high the sky is in their entire lives. But now that their level has risen, their demands are even greater, and many people want to be masters, and they have never felt ashamed of this idea. In their hearts, the Gui family's success today is largely due to their efforts and hard work.

Everyone knows that you can't be too good to people, and you can't feed a dog too much, but how many people can really do this?

Master Gui may be clear that relying on family members to build an empire will one day lead to infighting over interests, but without these people, the Gui family would not be the size it is today. In the early stages of capital accumulation, the risky work was more stable when done by family members.

It's very contradictory, very realistic, but unavoidable, just like the imperial power struggles of past dynasties. Taking a small view to understand the big picture, the principles are the same.

...

In the car, after Brother Pao introduced the basic situation of the Gui family, he turned to Su Tianyu and said, "Outsiders don't know that you're back, and the other side doesn't necessarily know how many cards Master Gui has in his hand, so we have to see clearly the internal situation of the Gui family before the end of the exhibition, and clean it up quickly."

"Understood!" Su Tianyu nodded.

"Gui Mengxiong is a smart man. When he wants to turn against the old man, he will never personally take action." Brother Pao said in a low voice, "He will use outsiders."

Su Tianyu thought about it and knew, "He will use people from the Xue family?"

"Yes, they're the ones who do the dirty work, so you should keep an eye on the Xue family first and wait for the situation to change." Brother Pao nodded.

Su Tianyu looked at him and suddenly asked, "Working is no problem, but I have a question I want to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"We're back now, and it's impossible to change our position anymore. Tell me the truth, did Gui Mengjun really have an accident?!" Su Tianyu asked.
