院内.

Fei Pingsheng frowned. "Is it that serious?"

"Yes," Su Tianyu replied truthfully. "Brother Wang has very good connections in the city. He specifically came to tell me that something happened to Brother A Shui, but the other side is still not willing to let go and intends to bite on your lead."

Fei Pingsheng was silent.

"You have a lot going on both inside and outside the district. I'm afraid they'll use some old messes from the past to make trouble, detain you first, and then find a way to pry your mouth open." Su Tianyu paused for a moment. "It would be safer for you to leave."

Fei Pingsheng was so smart he was bald. He immediately understood Su Tianyu's strategy. "You want me to go to the Chi Army's side?" (Chi Army: Red Army)

"Yes, staying with my big brother, as long as the Chi Army is there, you definitely won't have any problems." Su Tianyu interjected, "It's still not too late to leave now. The investigation team hasn't dug up anything on you, so there's no reason to arrest you. At worst, I'll break face with them and have the Riot Control Team send you out directly under the pretext of investigating a case outside the district."

Fei Pingsheng picked up a cigarette pack. "If I leave, can you handle things in the district on your own?"

Fei Pingsheng wasn't being arrogant; it was the confidence he had gained from years of experience outside the district. Since joining the Tongji Association, he had been low-key in his personal life but high-profile in his work, and very few mistakes had occurred in the matters he handled. A Shui's death wasn't due to his misjudgment but because he had to suddenly clean up Zhou Tonghui's mess.

Therefore, after the Tongji Association split up, Fei Pingsheng had originally planned to stay in the district to help Su Tianyu and share some of the specific work, but he didn't expect the investigation team to盯死(ding si - fixated on) him.

"I don't want you to leave either, but they're pushing too hard, and we have no choice." Su Tianyu drank his tea. "Let's prioritize safety first. After you leave, I'll find a way to deal with the other things."

"I have a suggestion." Fei Pingsheng looked at Su Tianyu and said, "Just two points: First, we didn't劫 (jie - rob) the military supplies; second, who exactly did劫 (jie - rob) the military supplies? If we figure out the cause and effect of these two points, then we'll be under no pressure, and there might even be internal strife in Dragon City."

Su Tianyu's eyes lit up. "Hehe, you really are a cunning old fox! Da Bai was just saying to ask for your opinion."

"What do you think?" Fei Pingsheng asked proactively.

"Da Bai is already working his connections at the dockworkers' association to inquire about things along the border." Su Tianyu replied softly, "Originally, after seeing you, I was planning to talk to the leaders."

Fei Pingsheng asked with a smile, "You wouldn't have thought of the same thing as me, would you?"

"Roughly the same, but the details are different." Su Tianyu paused for a moment before replying, "You're thinking about figuring out who劫 (jie - robbed) the military supplies, but I'm thinking that we need to find a way to say who劫 (jie - robbed) them, and then that's who劫 (jie - robbed) them."

Su Tianyu's words were a mouthful, but Fei Pingsheng immediately reacted, replying in a slightly surprised tone, "You really are a little dog bastard! That's a good idea, better than mine."

"Good as it is, I don't have a concrete plan right now." Su Tianyu was a little agitated. "Damn it, I don't have a single clue in my hand, and the garrison is an independent system. It's hard for us to even get involved."

"Are you thinking a little too far ahead?" Fei Pingsheng asked with a frown. "Shouldn't you clear your own name first? Make the investigation team believe that we didn't do it, that we just circled around the goods and then ran away."

"I think that method is a waste of time." Su Tianyu replied softly, "Regardless of whether the investigation team knows the truth, they will target us because it's obvious. Our old Li is disobedient, and even when nothing's happening, the higher-ups look for opportunities to suppress him, let alone the fact that we almost took action. With such a good excuse, I don't think the investigation team will give up. That might be why Zhou Xian is盯 (ding - fixated) on you so closely. So, it's better to work backward, come up with a result first, identify the main culprit, and then we'll naturally be under no pressure, and even Old Li can fight back."

"'Motherfucker, my people just went to the border for a stroll, looking at the scenery with guns. Why are you targeting us?'" Old Fei laughed. "'Fight back,' is that what you mean?"

"That's right."

"Then let's do it like this...!" Fei Pingsheng became interested after hearing Su Tianyu's explanation. "Following your line of thought, who looks most like the culprit right now besides us? It's definitely that unlucky bastard...!"

Just like that, the two old schemers sat in the new association's courtyard and began to plot.

Both of these guys were experts in scheming and had a much sharper sense of politics than others, so they quickly formulated a general direction for what to do next.

They still needed details, but those would require careful consideration and couldn't be figured out in one sitting.

...

That evening.

Su Tianyu sent Fei Pingsheng's family and his brothers to Jin Maohui's place and instructed him to send them out of Dragon City by noon the next day.

After the association split up, Gou Liuzi's final choice directly led to his status rising again in Li Mingsheng's team. People at Jin Maohui's level were forced to "obey" his orders and had to clean up his messes every now and then.

However, Old Jin never complained because he was a loyal fan of Li Mingsheng. Su Tianyu's firm stance made him feel from the bottom of his heart that this young man was worth befriending.

Once everything was settled.

Su Tianyu left the Riot Control Team and walked towards the parking lot across the street.

As soon as he entered the parking lot, Su Tianyu saw a figure leaving his car. But he thought it was someone putting flyers on the cars, so he casually walked over and bent down to look at the windshield wipers.

The person had indeed left something, but it wasn't a flyer; it was an envelope, clipped to the windshield wiper.

Su Tianyu picked up the envelope and saw a few small words written on it: "Not an ad, take a look, it'll help you!"

Su Tianyu frowned, reached out and tore open the envelope, and took out a piece of A4 paper printed from a computer.

There was a lot of content on the paper, divided into several large paragraphs. Su Tianyu quickly scanned it and found that it was about the military supplies business.

Su Tianyu looked around in astonishment but didn't see the figure again.

After standing there for a while, Su Tianyu immediately pulled open the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and carefully read the contents of the flyer.

...

On the sea near District One.

Su Tiannan stood on the deck of a freighter, holding a phone in his hand, and said softly, "Districts Two and Three can wrap things up, and do it quickly. Once the news gets out, they'll probably be targeted soon..."

At the same time.

Tan Hengqiang left Old An's military headquarters and returned to his office. 大风小说 (Da Feng Xiao Shuo - Great Wind Novel)

"Dad, I don't understand. Since An Zecheng is taking the initiative to hand over Yu Mingyuan, why didn't you accept him?" Tan Mingchao asked, puzzled. "We can only test Old An's true attitude if the person is in our hands."
