Chapter 136 Suspicion

Tan Hengqiang picked up his teacup and replied blandly, "What good would it do us to really send Yu Mingyuan to the investigation team?"

"We can shift the blame to the Tongji Association and test Lao An's true attitude," Tan Mingchao replied immediately.

Tan Hengqiang took a sip of tea and patiently pointed out, "Lao An invited me to dinner to tell me that he had nothing to do with the military supplies being robbed. He's even willing to hand over his wife's nephew to clear his name. But have you considered why he didn't talk to the investigation team directly?"

Tan Mingchao fell into thought.

"If I agree, it's the same as falling out with Lao An. All my previous efforts will be wasted, and our good friendship will become awkward." Tan Hengqiang said calmly, "Even if you hand over Yu Mingyuan, you don't have direct evidence that the Tongji Association was behind the robbery. The investigation will go back and forth, and the end result will be releasing him. But we'll have offended Lao An. Is it worth it?"

Tan Mingchao nodded slowly.

"If he really wanted to hand over Yu Mingyuan to clear his name, he could have talked to the investigation team directly." Tan Hengqiang crossed his legs. "He invited me to dinner to tell me that he has nothing to do with Li Mingsheng, and that Yu Mingyuan has now cut ties with Su Tianyu. There's no possibility of them fighting side by side. In short, he wants to surrender and temporarily stand on my side."

"I understand." Tan Mingchao pondered for a long time. "But I still don't think Lao An can be trusted. We still need to observe him."

"Hehe, in the world of adults, where is there absolute trust?" Tan Hengqiang replied with a chuckle, "Just do what's best for you."

"Yes."

"Alas." Tan Hengqiang sighed and changed the subject, "What's the situation with that regiment commander under Xin Chaojie who was arrested?"

"Zhou Xian is still interrogating him, but he hasn't gotten any useful information." Tan Mingchao replied, "Dad, Zhou Xian's attitude is too serious. I always feel like it'll be difficult to smooth this over."

"If we can't smooth it over, then so be it." Tan Hengqiang frowned and said, "The ideal outcome is that this regiment commander took money from outsiders and colluded with other forces to rob the goods. Xin Chaojie himself didn't know about it, but there was dereliction of duty. In the end, the regiment commander is shot, Xin Chaojie is dismissed, and the blame falls on hostile forces. A happy ending for everyone."

Tan Mingchao replied with a smile, "Hehe, good."

Tan Hengqiang nodded. "Go do it, as soon as possible."

"Understood!" Tan Mingchao stood up. "If I don't understand something, I'll ask Chief of Staff Zhang for advice."

"Yeah, go!" Tan Hengqiang waved his hand.

...

Tianhong Port.

After Su Tianyu returned to the new association office, he locked himself in the dormitory building and carefully examined the contents of the anonymous letter.

The letter was all about Xin Chaojie, the commander of the Third Division of the Dragon City garrison. It recorded a lot of evidence of his corruption, including his son doing business with Chinese-funded enterprises in the Second and Third Districts.

In addition, it also detailed that a few days before the military supplies were robbed, Xin Chaojie had met with several senior executives of Chinese-funded enterprises in his division headquarters, but it didn't say what they discussed.

Su Tianyu smoked, squinting his eyes, and carefully scanned the contents of the letter twice. He roughly understood the intention of the unknown forces in sending him this information.

Obviously, the other party was guiding him to associate the military supplies incident with Xin Chaojie.

But was the letter itself trustworthy? Su Tianyu was full of questions. He didn't even know who sent it, so trusting it completely would be foolish.

Who was scheming? What was the real intention of the other party in sending him this letter? Su Tianyu racked his brains, but couldn't come up with any useful clues.

The military supplies incident was too complicated. How many forces were involved was something that maybe even God didn't know, let alone Gou Liuzi, who only had one-sided information.

This letter was a bit interesting, because the content it recorded coincided with Su Tianyu's plan. But to use this information, he had to first verify whether the record was true, and analyze whether someone was digging a hole for him.

Su Tianyu took a puff of smoke and leaned back in his chair, exhausted. After a while, he put the letter away, preparing to have someone check this lead tomorrow. If he could verify it and confirm that no one was digging a hole for him, he would prepare to readjust his plan and put some effort into the Xin Chaojie side.

After getting everything settled, Su Tianyu got up to rest.

"Dilingling!"

Just then, the phone rang.

Su Tianyu picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID, then pressed the answer button. "Hello!"

"Call me back from another number." Su Tiannan's voice sounded on the phone.

Gou Liuzi blinked his eyes. "Wait a minute."

A few minutes later, Su Tianyu changed his new SIM card, walked to the balcony, and called back the number.

"Hello, did you receive the thing?" Su Tiannan asked directly.

"What exactly are you doing?" Su Tianyu immediately retorted, "Don't tell me that you have something to do with the military supplies being robbed!"

"What the hell does it have to do with me?" Su Tiannan replied calmly, "We're also investigating who did it. The purpose of giving you the information is to let you counterattack..."

"What do you mean?" Su Tianyu was a little confused.

"It's like this, listen to me...!" Su Tiannan and Liuzi began to conspire urgently on the phone.

...

The next day at noon, at the military headquarters hospital.

Tan Mingchao, wearing a military uniform and sunglasses, led three guards to the door of Xin Chaojie's ward.

"You guys wait a moment."

Tan Mingchao instructed the guards, pushed open the door by himself, and walked into the room.

By the window, Xin Chaojie was sitting in a wheelchair, his face sallow, admiring the chrysanthemums on the windowsill.

Since the military supplies were robbed, Xin Chaojie had been under control. Even when he had a heart attack, he had to be hospitalized under the surveillance of the military headquarters guards. Zhou Xian had also talked to him once.

"Oh, admiring flowers, Uncle Xin?" Tan Mingchao walked in and asked with a smile.

"Oh, Mingchao is here?!" Xin Chaojie replied in surprise, holding the wheelchair with both hands, his body trembling as he tried to get up.

"No need, no need. You're not feeling well, just sit." Tan Mingchao politely helped him and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Alas, as I get older, my body is indeed getting worse and worse." Xin Chaojie sighed.

Tan Mingchao looked at Xin Chaojie's sallow cheeks, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Xin, I'm here to talk to you today about the military supplies being robbed."

"Tell me, tell me!" Xin Chaojie looked at Tan Mingchao's expression, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

...

At the same time.

Su Tianyu met Lao Hei in the association and said to him directly, "You have to go to the Second District right away and do something for me."
