Chapter 1 River Nei

On the banks of the River Nei, waiting to ambush Su Tianyu and the others were members of the Xue family, and the mastermind behind this was none other than Jing Yan.

The Xue family had an irreconcilable blood feud with Su Tianyu and his group, with no possibility of reconciliation. Moreover, Jing Yan had been double-crossed by Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan in the Regulatory Commission case, so he wanted revenge.

The Xue family and Jing Yan were already in the same camp, with the same vested interests. Coupled with the fact that both sides had a grudge against Yu Mingyuan's team, they hit it off immediately.

However, Jing Yan didn't want to kill Su Tianyu at this moment, not even anyone from the Su family, because he harbored a secret that he couldn't tell anyone, and perhaps only Su Tianyu could solve it.

There must have been a reason why Jing Yan wasn't killed by Zhao Weihu in the Regulatory Commission hostage case, and that secret he held was related to it.

Su Tianyu couldn't die; Jing Yan needed him for something. And what could make the former submit were his family members.

Capture this group of people, and then use Su Miaomiao and Su Tiannan to threaten Su Tianyu, and maybe this matter could be accomplished.

As for Yu Mingyuan, Jing Yan didn't want to touch him himself. Firstly, this person had the An family behind him, which would involve some political factions in District One, making it troublesome to kill him openly. Secondly, Yu Mingyuan was also wanted by District One, so he might as well hand him over as a favor. This way, Yu Mingyuan wouldn't have a good outcome, and he could also consider it revenge.

Why not make a move on the island, but instead let Su Tianyu and the others leave first, and then have Xue Baolai and others intercept them on the shore?

This matter was actually not entirely within Jing Yan's control, because the local family secretly cooperating with him didn't want to take the blame for this. Yu Mingyuan's background was complicated, and among those traveling with Su Tianyu were officers from the garrison. If all these people died on the island, their "family" would investigate.

The local family had no conflict or grudges with Yu Mingyuan or Su Tianyu, and there were no conflicting interests at the moment, so why should they take the blame for Jing Yan?

If people died on the island, the organizer was responsible. Yu Mingyuan's family had a lot of influence in District One, and the garrison's identity was sensitive. If the media found out, the exhibition would be completely ruined. Was it a small matter that nearly ten overseas Chinese had died in the Old Triangle?

But if people left the island privately, their life or death had nothing to do with the organizer.

Jing Yan paused at the window, still feeling uneasy. He immediately walked out of the room, raised his head, and shouted, "Call a car, I need to go out."

...

On the sea.

Su Tianyu was driving a small yacht, constantly looking at the electronic navigation chart on the boat, "We need to find a place to disembark immediately."

Dabai was a little nervous, swallowed, and asked, "Why? Wouldn't it be better if we just sailed further away?"

"You're an idiot!" Yu Mingyuan immediately replied, "The sea is just a flat surface. No matter how fast the yacht is, is it faster than a helicopter? Once the radar scans, where can you hide? We haven't landed for so long, the other side must have reacted. Who knows who the Xue family and Jing Yan are working with? If it's the group that killed Gui Mengjun, they might even have long-range artillery. If you run on the sea, you won't even know how you died."

Dabai wasn't a stupid person; he was just too nervous. So, when Yu Mingyuan said this, he reacted, "Right, right, we can't go by sea!"

Su Tianyu looked at the electronic navigation again, "We can't delay any longer. We have to go ashore immediately. Get ready."

"Okay," Su Tiannan replied.

"That bastard You Yifan must be in cahoots with Jing Yan," Dabai cursed fiercely, "He's using us as a stepping stone for cooperation."

At this point, anyone with a brain would have realized that You Yifan had been urging them to leave, seemingly out of concern for their safety, but in reality, he was deceiving them and secretly helping Jing Yan.

Why would You Yifan do this? Gou Liuzi had also figured it out.

With Gui Mengjun dead, You Yifan had lost his most likely path to secure the sole channel. If he still wanted to be involved in this matter, he could only choose other local families. And who was closer to the other local families? Obviously, it was Jing Yan, who had never taken Gui Mengjun's route.

Su Tianyu speculated that either You Yifan had taken the initiative to find Jing Yan to seek cooperation, or the latter had temporarily roped him in.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Su Tianyu and the others were no longer of much value to You Yifan. It was only natural for You Yifan to agree to Jing Yan's desire to avenge the Regulatory Commission case.

Thinking of this, Su Tianyu felt that You Yifan was even more sinister. He had previously said that he valued the relationship between himself and Zhao Weihu, but now that he thought about it, he probably said that to prevent himself from becoming suspicious, so he deliberately used genuine demands to make Yu Mingyuan and others believe him.

The volume of the military supply business was too large. Under absolute profit, all relationships seemed very fragile, and betrayal could happen at any time.

...

On the banks of the River Nei, Xue Baolai, carrying a gun and holding a phone, said to his father, "Quickly have Jing Yan contact that middleman and tell them that Su Tianyu and the others have definitely reacted and are running away. Immediately have the helicopter search along the coast. Also, have the locals send people to block off the nearby coast immediately. They can't run too far."

"Be careful! Don't show yourself unless it's absolutely necessary," Xue Pingan instructed.

"I know."

After saying that, the two ended the call. Xue Baolai got into a large off-road vehicle and yelled, "Move faster, we're not staying here, let's go."

...

About fifteen minutes later, at a beach in an unknown area of River Nei, Su Tianyu and the others abandoned the yacht on the sea, jumped into the water, and swam to the shore. Because the water along the coast was too shallow, and the bottom was full of reefs, the boat definitely couldn't get close.

"Let's go, head south!" Relying on his sense of direction, Su Tianyu urged everyone to evacuate towards District Five.

The group hurried along the complicated paths on the beach.

Yu Mingyuan, following behind, thought for a long time and suddenly asked, "Damn it, something's not right?"

"What's not right?" Su Tianyu turned his head.

"The people who picked us up said they were Gui Mengxiong's men," Yu Mingyuan frowned and replied, "If that's true, then Gui Mengxiong, Jing Yan, the Xue family, and You Yifan are all in the same group!"

Su Tianyu glanced at him, "Brother, think about it carefully. There was already an attack on the cruise ship tonight, and how could Gui Mengjun, a cunning old fox, be so easily killed at sea under such circumstances?"

Hearing this, Yu Mingyuan felt goosebumps all over his body, "There's infighting within the Gui family?!"

"Gui Mengxiong definitely sold out his cousin!" Su Tianyu replied directly.

"Damn, this scheme is too deep." Hearing this, Yu Mingyuan was filled with terror, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

...

Inside the Gui family, Gui Mengxiong knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, "It was my lack of consideration, I should have boarded the ship with Big Brother...!"
