Chapter 129

About half an hour after the fight ended, the inside and outside of the Su family's garbage dump were already packed with people.

The surrounding crowd of onlookers, the Su family's workers, more than twenty police officers from the Zhan Nan District Police Department, and dozens of firefighters from the Fire Department were all doing their own thing in the yard.

At the entrance, Kong ZhengHui's car stopped. He glanced at the situation in the yard and nodded to a large private media interview vehicle following behind.

Five people got out of the interview vehicle: two photographers, two assistants, and a male host. They set up their equipment and skillfully began recording the situation inside and outside the factory.

"Around 8:40 PM tonight, a malicious smashing and arson incident occurred in a garbage factory in the Zhan Nan District of Longcheng..." The male host began recording footage fluently, cooperating with the cameramen.

...

Inside the garbage dump.

Su TianBei was being questioned by the police. Before that, Su TianYu had clearly explained everything he needed to say.

"How many people were there?" The police officer asking the questions was Sergeant ErMao, who had been drinking with Lu Feng that day.

"About twenty or thirty people, I guess. They all had weapons. They started smashing things as soon as they entered the factory and set fire to my company's warehouse..." Su TianBei said with a frown. "We had five workers injured, and they've already been taken to the hospital."

"Are you sure the arson was committed by the people who did the smashing?" ErMao asked with some disbelief.

"Officer, this is my own company. If they didn't start the fire, who did? Me?" Su TianBei retorted with a frown.

"During the fight, did they say anything? After the fight, where did they run?"

"They said that if the Su family's workers continued to strike, they would take our lives. After the group smashed things, they jumped over the wall and ran. I heard the workers on duty say that there was a car waiting for them outside," Su TianBei replied.

"You have so many workers here. You didn't catch any of the thugs?"

"Everyone was terrified at the time. How could we dare to fight back!" Su TianBei responded smoothly. "Most of the workers arrived later."

"Do you have security cameras here?"

"Yes, but we were shutting down for a few days, and we were planning to replace the system, so only the security cameras at the main gate and a few cargo areas are working," Su TianBei replied.

...

While TianBei was giving his statement, Su TianYu had already stepped out of the yard and found his eldest brother and Kong ZhengHui. "Brother!"

Su TianNan turned his head. "Aren't you giving your statement in the main building?"

"No, Second Brother is." Su TianYu put on his elegant glasses again and pointed to Kong ZhengHui, saying, "I came over to have a word with Brother Kong."

From the last time he stabbed Lu Feng, Kong ZhengHui had already seen that Su TianYu was not someone to be trifled with, and he was very impressed with him, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's up, brother?"

"Brother Kong, I don't recommend getting the media involved right now," Su TianYu said directly.

"Why?" Kong ZhengHui didn't understand.

"The timing isn't right yet. We need to add fuel to Changqing's case." Su TianYu never wasted a word when talking to outsiders.

Kong ZhengHui frowned. "Changqing already has enough problems. Do we need to wait any longer?"

"My eldest brother is still talking to the police department," Su TianYu said in a low voice. "Let's wait a little longer."

Kong ZhengHui pondered for a moment. "Okay, you let me know when it's time to play our cards."

"Okay," Su TianYu nodded.

Kong ZhengHui smiled, turned his head to look at the Su family's garbage dump, and shook his head, saying, "Lu Feng is really a fool! If you want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, just do that. Why set a fire? Now, even if we don't actively spread the word, everyone in Zhan Nan District will definitely know tomorrow that Changqing Company is willing to commit murder and arson to seize territory. Heh, this can't be hidden."

"That's right," Su TianYu echoed, then immediately said, "Brother Kong, wait a moment. I'll say a few words to my eldest brother."

"Okay!" Kong ZhengHui nodded.

The two brothers walked to the dimly lit wall. Su TianNan took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Eldest brother, contact Wang DaoLin immediately, right now," Su TianYu replied.

"What's the point of contacting him at this hour?"

"Listen to me. Contact him now and offer him the conditions directly." Su TianYu leaned in close to his eldest brother's ear and said with a clear train of thought, "Just tell him that Lu Feng really wanted to take our family's lives this time, and you're scared, so..."

...

Zhan Nan District, at the end of Fu Lin Street, there was a small gambling den that catered specifically to the poor. It was small in scale and in a poor environment. The alleys around the entrance were full of the stench of urine. But there were many gamblers who couldn't even afford to eat who would come to play cards night after night. If they ran out of money, they would rather watch the excitement next to the table than go home to sleep.

In a dilapidated security room on the second floor of the gambling den, Lu Feng sat on the sofa, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Are you guys supposed to make a living with knives?! A dozen people went together. Even if you didn't win, shouldn't you know if all your own people got out?"

"Brother Feng, it was really too chaotic at the time. There were too many people on the other side, and we were all stunned. We were all running to the windows and corridors separately. We really didn't notice where Brother A Ming and the others were." A man with an unstitched knife wound on his body hastily used a whole pack of tissues to block the wound and replied pitifully.

"Waste!" Lu Feng cursed, picked up his phone, and dialed the number for ErMao of the Police Department. "Hey, is it a good time to talk?"

After a short while, ErMao replied, "Yes, I'm at the scene."

"Damn it, some of my brothers didn't come back! I called them just now, but they didn't answer. Did the other side detain them?" Lu Feng asked directly.

"I asked the Su family. They said your brothers ran away after smashing things and setting the fire," ErMao replied in a low voice. "They weren't stopped at all."

"Bullshit! My people were beaten. As soon as they went in, they were stopped in the hall by the Su family. I suspect someone in the company leaked information." Lu Feng pressed again. "Intimidate the Su family and ask them if they detained the people and aren't admitting it."

"How can I ask that? I'm a public official of the Police Department, Brother Feng!" ErMao replied speechlessly. "But I already warned Su TianBei just now that if they detain the people and don't hand them over, it will definitely be considered illegal detention, so I don't think they should detain anyone. It's pointless to do that!"

Lu Feng was also stunned. "Then that's strange. Where did my brothers go? They wouldn't not answer their phones after finishing the job!"

"Look for them again," ErMao said, standing outside the hall, turning his head and glancing around, urging, "But I'm telling you, Brother Feng, what you did this time is no small matter. Not only did you smash things, but you also set a fire. This is a garbage storage area. Do you know what the consequences will be if it causes a major fire? Your men were too impulsive!"

When Lu Feng heard this, he became anxious and immediately got up and cursed, "I'm not running a crematorium! Why would I set a fire? Someone is trying to set me up."

ErMao was silent for two seconds and didn't argue, only asking in reply, "Brother Feng, first there was a strike, then the workers were hacked, and today someone attacked the Su family's garbage dump and it caught fire. I can believe what you said, but... will others believe it? The root of the matter isn't who set the fire, but that your people rushed into the cargo yard, understand? The police department is also afraid of trouble!"

Lu Feng was speechless.

"I'll deal with the scene first, and we'll talk later." ErMao hung up the phone first.

Lu Feng bit his teeth, put his hands on his hips, and was thinking about what to do when the thugs in the room all stood up and looked at the stairwell, shouting, "Boss!"

"President Li!"

Lu Feng turned his head and saw Li HongZe walking over with two people, his face extremely ugly.

"Boss!" Lu Feng called out.

"What the hell are you doing? How could you be counterattacked when you were prepared? And why did you have people set a fire? Were you trying to make pills?!" Li HongZe asked angrily, his mood exploding.

"I didn't set it!!" Lu Feng instantly broke down.

...

Around 11 PM.

Su TianNan's car stopped in front of a very popular Cantonese restaurant on Guangming Road in the Zhan Nan District. He pushed open the car door, straightened his clothes, and said to the family member who was traveling with him, "Just wait in the car."

"Okay," the young man driving the car nodded.

Su TianNan quickly walked into the Cantonese restaurant, went up the stairs to the third floor, and entered a private room. At this time, in an alley directly across from the restaurant, a man wearing a baseball cap glanced roughly at Su TianNan's car.

Inside the private room on the third floor of the Cantonese restaurant, a man in his fifties, wearing a white shirt, stood with his hands clasped and said, "Xiao Nan, I heard about what happened at your factory. How are things? Is your family alright?"

The person speaking was Wang DaoLin, a director of the Longcheng Police Department with a lot of power, and he and Su TianNan's father were comrades-in-arms. Before TianYu came back, the Su family had given him 50,000 yuan to help mediate the internal strife of the dirty gang.

When Su TianNan saw Wang DaoLin, he said with an extremely solemn expression, "Uncle, if you don't help me now, I might lose my life!"

Wang DaoLin was silent when he heard this.

"The strike was to save my dad. It was purely a last resort, but before it had any effect, two workers were hacked, which directly caused the workers below to be afraid to protest with us," Su TianNan said as he bent down to sit down, pouring tea for Wang DaoLin while speaking softly, "Before we could catch our breath, the factory was attacked, smashed, and set on fire today, and five more of my family's workers were injured. Uncle Wang, please help the Su family again for the sake of my dad!"

"I said before that I shouldn't interfere in your family's affairs," Wang DaoLin sighed. "What's more, it's very difficult for you to get a hold of Changqing Company's weaknesses. I advised you to pay to avoid disaster, but you didn't listen."

"I have evidence!" Su TianNan said suddenly.

Wang DaoLin was stunned. "What evidence?"

"I can hand over the main thugs who smashed the factory to you," Su TianNan said, looking directly at the other person.

Wang DaoLin looked at him in surprise, without saying anything.

"If I give you the people, Lu Feng won't be able to defend himself." Su TianNan said in a low voice, "The Kong family, the Liu family, and the Bai family will also work hard on the periphery to promote this matter. I believe that the upper levels of the police department definitely don't want to see this kind of sustained negative publicity, so as long as you use a little effort to mediate, Changqing Company will definitely soften and settle things, and my dad will naturally be able to get out."

Wang DaoLin put his right hand on his leg, tapping his fingers lightly, thought for a long time, and slowly shook his head. "Xiao Nan, I'm afraid I can't handle this matter."

"Uncle, as long as you are willing to take the lead and help us put a little pressure on Changqing Company, then I won't let you work in vain." Su TianNan lowered his voice and said, "The other three companies won't either."

Wang DaoLin frowned when he heard this.

...

Inside the Su family's factory.

The people from the police department were still investigating the scene, while Su TianBei took the opportunity to go to the backyard of the main building, opened his car door, and reached under the car seat.

Today, Su TianBei brought a gun to trap Lu Feng, because he was afraid of accidents, but now this thing was obviously useless, and he was going to take it away and hide it.

After reaching under the car seat with his right hand, Su TianBei was stunned on the spot.

The gun was gone!
