Chapter 145 Man's Company

Inside the warehouse.

Su Tianyu put away his phone, looked up at Da Xiong, and said, "Da Bai's brother is dead, I have to go to the funeral. No one comes to this warehouse usually, don't go out, just stay here and heal your wounds. I'll be back tonight or tomorrow morning."

"Okay...okay, thank you, Brother Xiaoyu!" Da Xiong nodded slowly.

Su Tianyu took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, took out all the cash, about fifteen or sixteen hundred yuan: "Take this, just in case."

Da Xiong looked at Su Tianyu blankly, a little at a loss.

"It's okay, take it." Su Tianyu put the money next to the instant noodles, got up and said, "The outside is full of people looking for you, remember, don't go anywhere."

"I...I understand." Da Xiong nodded.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Su Tianyu turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

Da Xiong watched his back, carefully picked up the instant noodles, and lowered his head to eat.

...

In the evening, in the Bai family's compound, funeral music played and the crowd surged. Neighbors from all around, as well as management and workers from the Bai family's company, all came to attend the funeral.

The "Fu" characters, couplets, and red lanterns pasted for the New Year in the courtyard were all taken down and replaced with black and white cloth strips and wreaths, but the scattered red firecracker debris on the ground looked particularly glaring.

Su Tianyu stepped into the courtyard and heard Bai Hongtao's sister, mother, and others crying uncontrollably.

At the door, Bai Hongbo, who had just returned from the hospital, stood smoking at the entrance of the main hall, his face very ugly.

"My condolences, brother." Su Tianyu walked over and said softly to him.

"Ah!" Bai Hongbo sighed deeply, his eyes a little red.

The two stood in silence for a while, and the Feng Shui master, who had been in charge of the funeral arrangements at the door, suddenly shouted, "Who is free? Hurry up and drive to the vegetable market to buy a live rooster and some mixed grains. We need to prepare the things for the burial now."

"I'll go, I'll go." Su Tianyu immediately walked down the steps, took the car keys and replied, "Tell me what you need, and I'll buy it all at once."

In fact, when a man encounters difficulties and problems, he may not need words of comfort and guidance from others, but rather companionship.

The companionship between men.

Su Tianyu didn't try to comfort Da Bai, but just did what he could here, even if it was running errands or buying something, doing whatever he could.

He kept busy until after nine o'clock in the evening, when there were fewer people in the yard, leaving only the Bai family guarding the coffin, as well as the hired band and Feng Shui master.

Bai Hongbo moved a chair and sat with Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui, and others at his door, staring blankly and smoking.

Da Bai was in a bad mood, and Kong Zhenghui didn't choose to communicate with him frequently either, but turned to Su Tianyu and asked, "What do you want medicine for?"

Su Tianyu glanced at him: "To treat a dog."

"Don't bullshit me, are you using gunshot wound medicine for a dog?" Kong Zhenghui said in a low voice, "Did that kid go to you?"

Su Tianyu took a puff of cigarette and did not respond.

Kong Zhenghui was a very smart man, he didn't mention Da Xiong's name, but only advised in a very soft voice: "Brother, he killed police officers, and five of them at that. Do you have the ability to take care of him? If you don't have the ability to take care of him, you'll end up screwing both of you over; if you let others take care of him, it's likely to implicate others too, do you understand what I mean?"

Su Tianyu looked at him: "I understand, I know what I'm doing."

Kong Zhenghui stopped there and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Xu Er is dead, Xu Hu will definitely not let it go. How do you think the Ma Gang will retaliate against us next?"

"It's hard to say." Su Tianyu shook his head slowly: "But judging from what happened at the foot of Qika Mountain, Xu Hu's feelings for his brother are quite deep. They are prone to doing extreme things."

"After the funeral, we still have to talk to the higher-ups."

"Zhenghui, what do you think is the difference between us and the Ma Gang?" Su Tianyu asked.

Kong Zhenghui thought carefully for a moment and replied, "The difference lies in cohesion."

Su Tianyu nodded in agreement: "That's right. If people don't gather and their hearts aren't aligned, relying solely on the three leading wealthy families to stir things up will never amount to anything."

Kong Zhenghui also agreed with Gou Liuzi's opinion in his heart, and began to communicate with him in a low voice.

...

The next day, in the afternoon.

Inside the warehouse of Mingyuan Trading Company, Da Xiong had a slight fever. He lay on a pile of goods, feeling very thirsty and cold, so he kept drinking water.

"Buzz!"

Just as Da Xiong was drowsily trying to sleep, the sound of a car engine suddenly rang outside the warehouse.

Da Xiong sat up with a start,捂着捂着 the wound on his shoulder, immediately picked up the things on the ground, and turned to run to the corridor on the inside.

About two or three minutes later, the warehouse door opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes led an old man in.

"Recently, a case of killing police officers has occurred in the city. The police departments in various districts have notified our trading companies, asking us to strengthen the management of our warehouses and unmanned areas..." The man in the suit and leather shoes turned to the old man and said, "You can't be lazy when you're on the night watch. You have to come here from time to time to take a look."

In the corridor, Da Xiong's forehead was sweating as he hid behind a pile of cardboard boxes, listening to the conversation between the two.

"Also, the goods inside are afraid of moisture, so you have to come over and clean them from time to time."

"Got it, got it." The old man nodded repeatedly in response.

...

Tianhong Port, at the entrance of the Xu family.

Several cars stopped, and Gu Tongshan led a group of people down.

"Hello, Elder Gu!"

"Elder Gu!"

"..."

The Ma Gang brothers in the courtyard gathered around to greet Gu Tongshan.

Gu Tongshan nodded slightly to the crowd, led the group of people behind him, and went to the main hall.

Inside the room, although Xu Hu was in a bad mood, he was still entertaining friends from the martial world who had come to attend the funeral.

As soon as Gu Tongshan and others entered the room, everyone stood up.

"Master is here." Xu Hu immediately greeted him.

"I came to see you."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Xu Hu turned his head to the side and saw a familiar figure.

"My condolences, Boss Xu." Li Hongze stood next to Gu Tongshan and said softly.

Xu Hu not only saw Li Hongze, but also saw Lu Feng behind him.

Although the bosses of the Ma Gang and the Zang Gang knew each other, they usually didn't have much contact, and it was obviously a little unusual for Li Hongze, Lu Feng, and others to come with Gu Tongshan today.

Xu Hu was slightly stunned, and stretched out his palm, saying, "Long time no see, Boss Li, Boss Lu."

After the crowd shook hands, Gu Tongshan said, "Sit down, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a lackey ran in and shouted, "Gang leader, Police Chief Li Xing has arrived."

Xu Hu turned around and froze.

Li Xing is here too? All the important figures from Changqing Company who could speak their minds in Zhanan were present today. What was going on?
