Chapter 1 Tea House in Longkou District

Gu Tongshan stepped into the private room and greeted the major with a smile, "Officer Wen, how are you!"

The major stood up abruptly, his voice booming, "Gu Tongshan, I'm not wasting words with you. If you don't hand over the people now, I'll lead an action team straight into Zhanan and arrest whoever's in charge!"

Gu Tongshan smiled at him, leaned down to sit in a chair, and replied softly, "Officer Wen, if you can catch the people yourself and bring back our security bureau comrades, I'll be all for it. To be honest, I'm also annoyed by those brainless people in the Zhanan district who are always causing trouble!"

Officer Wen's eyes widened at these words. "You think I don't dare to touch you?"

"I'm just an old man nominally affiliated with the association. When I was in Zhanan, some people gave me some face, but I'm not there anymore, so who would listen to me?" Gu Tongshan slowly extended his hands. "Why don't you arrest me too? To be honest, I'm very frustrated and would really like some peace and quiet for a couple of days."

Officer Wen was speechless.

Gu Tongshan stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly retracted his hands, pausing before continuing, "Officer Wen, if you trust me, how about letting me have a few words with Officer Yu? Some things are actually easier to say without you here."

Officer Wen turned to look at Yu Jinhang, who nodded in agreement.

"I'm putting it out there, if I can't deal with you today, I'll resign tomorrow!" Officer Wen said fiercely, then pushed open the door and left.

Inside the room, only Gu Tongshan and Yu Jinhang remained.

"What exactly do you want?" Yu Jinhang asked.

Gu Tongshan picked up his teacup. "You originally had room to maneuver, but why did you have to go down a dead end? Do you really think people from District One will be effective here? I don't think so!"

"Don't say useless things. I'm asking you, what exactly do you want?!" Yu Jinhang replied, his emotions running high.

Gu Tongshan paused for a few seconds. "I originally wanted to give you some time, but you're not cooperating. It's still those two points: Xu Hu's revenge must be taken, and the Yu family must get out, tonight."

Yu Jinhang gritted his teeth, clenching his fists. "Can we talk about Bai Dabiao's matter?!"

"Before you went to District One, this could be discussed, but after going to District One, it can't be discussed." Gu Tongshan interjected. "If you don't kill a dog, it will bite you back. Don't you understand that?"

Yu Jinhang was silent.

"Contact Xu Hu. If I don't see Bai Dabiao in two hours, your son will suffer greatly." Gu Tongshan slowly stood up, placing his hands on the table, and looked at Yu Jinhang with a rare, somber gaze. "Sixty to seventy percent of Dragon City's economy comes from port trade. And the wharf gangs have at least thirty percent of the decision-making power when it comes to the smooth operation of port trade! You want to fight us? What are you going to fight with?! Just an upper-level security bureau officer? You're laughable!"

Veins popped on Yu Jinhang's forehead as he slowly rose to his feet and replied, "If anything happens to my son, you won't get away with it either!"

"Heh." Gu Tongshan chuckled, then turned and walked towards the door.

At the door, Officer Wen was smoking. His expression was odd when he saw Gu Tongshan come out.

Gu Tongshan stepped forward and said politely, "The security bureau officer from District One came with imperial authority, after all, so no one dares to touch them. Give me an hour, and I'll help you find the people."

"If you can't find them, I'll hold you accountable!" Officer Wen's verbal skills were unmatched.

Gu Tongshan nodded with a smile and walked away.

Officer Wen turned to look at Yu Jinhang, who had just come out, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to touch them."

Yu Jinhang looked at him, replying sarcastically, "With you here, of course I believe he wouldn't dare to touch them."

Downstairs.

Gu Tongshan got into the car and dialed Nick's number. "Where are you?"

"Almost to Longkou District," Nick replied.

"Put some pressure on them and make them hand over Bai Dabiao quickly," Gu Tongshan said.

"Okay, no problem!" Nick responded.

After ending the call, Gu Tongshan dialed Xu Hu's number. "Are you outside the district?"

"I am," Xu Hu replied.

"Once Bai Dabiao arrives, get rid of him tonight. Once he's gone, the Yu family's team will be completely disbanded," Gu Tongshan instructed.

"I understand, Master!" Xu Hu hung up the phone expressionlessly.

…

Ten minutes later.

Yu Jinhang took a car to his friend in the garrison. He was about to call Su Tianyu when he received a photo text message.

In the photo, Zhou Tonghui and Yu Mingfei were each slashed three times across the chest in a dimly lit room.

Slashed, not stabbed, not hacked.

The three wounds on their chests were all six or seven centimeters long. The surface layer of skin was cut open little by little with a knife, looking extremely bloody and cruel.

Yu Jinhang's teeth gnashed as he looked at the photo of his son. He lowered his head and dialed Su Tianyu's number. "Get Bai Dabiao out of the district."

"...Okay," Su Tianyu replied.

"How much longer?"

"The snake is alarmed, but I'm still waiting for a call to find out exactly where he is," Su Tianyu replied.

"...Hurry, hurry!" Yu Jinhang roared twice and hung up the phone.

After they ended the call, Su Tianyu also received a text message from Kong ZhengHui.

…

At the Bai family residence in Zhanan District, Da Bai, who had returned to Dragon City today, walked to the gate with his father.

"Old man, are you really going?!" Bai's mother asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Bai Dabiao frowned and waved his hand as he bent down to get into the car.

Bai Hongbo paused for a moment, then turned to his mother and said, "Don't worry, I'm going with him, it'll be fine."

With that, the father and son got into the car and headed straight for the suburbs of Dragon City.

…

Inside a trading company under the Wharf Workers' General Association in Longkou District.

After getting out of the car, Gu Tongshan said on the phone, "Bai Dabiao came out so quickly? Keep an eye on them, and prevent them from making any small moves."

"Understood!" The other party nodded.

Gu Tongshan hung up the phone, put his hands behind his back, and hummed a little tune as he walked towards the main building.

About five minutes later, three cars stopped in front of the trading company. Nick and others got out of the cars in a low-key manner and quickly walked towards the main building as well.

…

Inside a room.

Gang Shu frowned and asked Su Tianyu, "Didn't that guy surnamed Kong send you a text message? Are we still waiting?"

Su Tianyu leaned quietly against the hood of the car and waved his hand in reply, "We can't rush, let's wait a little longer."

Around a stronghold where the Zhanchui (Warhammer) organization distributes goods in the Pulai New District of District One, a dozen or so private cars suddenly drove in from all directions by themselves.

Inside the Zhou family manor, Zhou Yaoxiang sat quietly in a chair, rubbing prayer beads with his left hand. "Pour me a cup of tea."

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Just as Gang Shu was pacing anxiously, Su Tianyu's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

"This is what happened…!" Wang Daolin's voice sounded.

Two minutes later, Su Tianyu yanked open the car door, took out a balaclava, and put it on his face, turning to Gang Shu and the others and saying, "There's only one chance, if we lose, we lose everything. Get the guns!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of Gang Shu's brothers opened the trunk of the SUV, revealing two whole boxes of firearms.

This afternoon, Su Tianyu and the others had infiltrated Dragon City through the relationship with Yu family's garrison.

This night of intrigue and strife, destined to be extraordinary, had officially arrived!
