The gunfight ended, leaving several bodies and numerous bullet-riddled cars at both locations.

When the Huadu police arrived, they couldn't identify everyone, so their initial attitude was very "strict," treating everyone roughly, even refusing to send the wounded Yu Jinrong to the hospital first.

Because of this, Yu Jinrong's younger brother, Yu Jinhang, and the Zhou family made several phone calls, pulled some strings, and only then did the Huadu police soften their attitude.

...

At noon, in the corridor of the emergency department of Huadu Kanglier Hospital, Yu Mingyuan, Yu Jinhang, and others were waiting for the results of Yu Jinrong's surgery.

On the nearby bench, Bai Hongbo whispered to Su Tianyu, "Damn, these people are too bold! Openly shooting, kidnapping, and killing police officers in the city center. Everyone outside says that Dragon City is chaotic, but now I see, this is the real crime paradise..."

Su Tianyu shook his head, "It's not the same kind of chaos. Here, gun control is more lax, and there's a certain... special demographic."

"If this isn't chaos, then what is? Bringing out tanks to commit crimes?"

"I'm saying, the other side probably didn't expect things to escalate to this point. They were forced into it." Su Tianyu looked at Bai Hongbo, "You got the people you wanted, so what do you do when you run into police officers? Surrender? If you don't fight, you can't leave. You can only run if you fight, understand?"

Bai Hongbo was silent.

"The other side didn't expect it to get this big either," Su Tianyu said, sorting through his thoughts. "I have a feeling... the other side acted a bit hastily this time."

Da Bai sighed, "Ah, we just got the money and were getting along well with the Zhou family. We could have relaxed, but who knew that our good brother Zhou Tonghui would be implicated... I said before that the Yu family is a bit of a jinx, but you didn't believe me."

Su Tianyu was speechless.

"Yu Mingfei is okay, after all, he's a soldier, his mental fortitude is different. But what kind of person is our good brother Zhou Tonghui? He's the kind of guy who thinks about going to see ballet after inviting people out... the kind of guy who always says 'hello' when you meet and 'goodbye' when you part. What do you think will happen to him if he gets caught by Lao Hei?!" Da Bai said in a low voice, "What if they don't recognize him and just off him? Who will the Zhou family blame then?"

"You're so good at analyzing things, just shut up!" Su Tianyu was a little annoyed.

"Damn, aren't I just worried?!" Da Bai was also unhappy. "If it wasn't for Qi Qi and no one to take care of the kids, I would have fought them. They definitely wouldn't have been captured."

Su Tianyu frowned, deep in thought, and ignored him.

As the two were talking, a series of footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor.

Su Tianyu was closer to the elevator, so he was the first to look up.

A woman who looked to be in her forties, led six or seven men as she walked over.

The woman was dressed inconspicuously. She wore a beige fitted suit jacket and an ordinary knee-length cloth skirt. She looked a bit like a female cadre from some Hua district government department. However, she had a very good aura, fair skin, and extremely standard posture, with her head held high and chest out.

"Jinhang," the woman said as she passed Su Tianyu.

Yu Jinhang turned his head when he heard the voice, and immediately went to greet her, "Sister, you're here!"

Yu Jinhang calling her "Sister" made Su Tianyu a little confused, because she looked to be only in her forties.

"Aunt!" Yu Mingyuan also came over.

The woman nodded to the Yu family and asked softly, "How is Jinrong?"

"In surgery, he shouldn't be in any life-threatening danger," Yu Jinhang replied in a low voice. "But it was a close call..."

Speaking of this, Yu Jinhang glanced at Su Tianyu, paused slightly, and added, "If it weren't for a friend who happened to be there, we would have all been taken away."

"Don't talk about it here," the woman said. "Let's go downstairs and talk in the car."

"Okay!"

Yu Jinhang nodded.

As they were about to walk outside, An Qiqi, who had just finished her examination at the outpatient clinic, was heading upstairs with her paperwork. When she saw the woman, she immediately pouted and cried out with grievance, "Mom!"

The woman walked over, hugged An Qiqi, and asked her a few questions in a low voice. Then, she took her downstairs with the others.

"That's Qiqi's mom. She looks so young!" Bai Hongbo said with bright eyes. "She seems older than Yu Jinhang. I wonder if she's widowed."

"Stop talking nonsense," Su Tianyu cursed speechlessly. "An Qiqi's dad is alive and kicking, so don't go spreading rumors."

"Damn, I didn't know, why are you yelling at me!"

Through their conversation, Su Tianyu learned that the woman who had just arrived was Yu's eldest daughter and An Qiqi's mother. However, she hadn't been in Huadu before, and had rushed over temporarily after hearing about the trouble at home.

Su Tianyu and Bai Hongbo didn't participate in the Yu family's internal discussions. They waited in the corridor for an hour and a half before Yu Mingyuan and An Qiqi returned.

"How is it?" Su Tianyu asked as he stood up.

"The elders are handling the rest. We just need to wait," Yu Mingyuan replied with a gloomy expression. "Let's find a way to save them first!"

Su Tianyu sat back down in his chair and nodded. "We need to hurry, otherwise Zhou Tonghui and Xiao Fei will be in danger."

Yu Mingyuan loosened his collar and didn't reply, but the expression on his face was enough to show how suppressed his emotions were.

The bandits were clearly after the Yu family, so Yu Mingfei being captured wasn't entirely unjustified, because he was surnamed Yu. But now that Zhou Tonghui had also been taken, it was unreasonable. Zhou Yaoxiang had lent you so much money, treated you so well, and provided transportation, but in the end, you got his son involved... If anything happened to him, that friend could very well become an enemy.

The group sat on the benches. Yu Mingyuan was silent for a long time before he suddenly said, "Thank you, Liu Zi!"

"What?" Su Tianyu was taken aback.

"Without your friend, we would have been done for."

"Ah!" Su Tianyu nodded, not arguing.

"Let's deal with the immediate problem, we can talk about the rest later." Yu Mingyuan, still emotionally disturbed, took the initiative to mention Zheng Han and the others saving their lives.

"Mm," Su Tianyu nodded.

...

Dragon City, in the residential compound of the Longkou District Dockworkers' Association, the Gu family.

Gu Tongshan stood in his study, in front of the secret door, holding a gilded brush, and practicing his calligraphy on rice paper.

"Dilingling!"

A phone rang. Gu Tongshan reached out and answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Let's meet and talk!" Nick's voice sounded.

"Sure," Gu Tongshan nodded.

"Should I come find you?"

"…!" Gu Tongshan frowned. "Don't look for me, I'll come see you. That's all."
