Wei Jie
Chapter 709 On the Road
Before Gou Liuzi spoke with Yu Mingyuan, he definitely wouldn't have connected the shooting in Conil Town to his Big Brother. But thinking carefully, Big Brother's connections before entering prison were very weak. None of his friends seemed capable of planning a "jailbreak" event.
Looking at it this way, the possibility of Big Brother being involved with a foreign organization was very high.
Thinking of this, Su Tianyu became even more worried about his Big Brother's safety. However, he didn't have any solutions at the moment and could only wait until they met to ask in detail.
After dropping off Yu Mingyuan in Longkou District, Su Tianyu drove back to his unit. He used his personal computer to log into the baby website his Big Brother had left behind and posted a secret code in the forum requesting communication.
…
In the following ten days, Su Tianyu didn't receive a reply from his Big Brother, and the situation in the Lao Mo area became increasingly complex.
The rebels regrouped, using the funds secretly provided by the First District to repeatedly recruit soldiers and expand their forces. The official army, however, had yet to come up with a clear response, and there had been several small-scale military frictions in multiple border areas.
Kang Dinghuang, that old fox, had been plotting to encircle and suppress the Chi Army in the Lao Mo area, which made Su Tianyu very uneasy. After thinking it over, he decided to go to Juarez Town to see Brother Hu and discuss what to do next.
Weekend evening.
Su Tianyu found Fei Pingsheng and said directly, "Brother, lend me your wife for a bit."
Fei Pingsheng stroked his bald head, "What for?"
"Why is everyone borrowing my wife these days? Did you even ask for my permission?" Da Bai was the first to object before Fei Pingsheng could say anything.
"Don't interrupt," Su Tianyu looked at Lao Fei. "I want to go to Juarez Town. It's pretty chaotic there right now, and I don't know how to get around. Sis has been there before, so I want her to guide me."
"Sure," Fei Pingsheng nodded, "My wife and I will go with you."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Su Tianyu glanced at him. "You're working for the Chairman now. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to use you for free, would it?"
As soon as Fei Pingsheng heard this, he grinned and replied, "Chairman is Chairman, but you'll always be my brother!"
"Said it before, we're all brothers!" Da Bai emphasized.
Su Tianyu put his hands behind his back and looked at Fei Pingsheng. "You don't have anything else to do?"
"The Chairman is leading people to dig a pit," Fei Pingsheng stood up and said, "I'm free. Your identity is different, after all. If something happens on the road, I won't be able to explain it to the leader. But if I go with you, that problem is solved."
"Thoughtful!" Su Tianyu gave him a thumbs up.
That's right, Fei Pingsheng was just such a thoughtful person. He seemed carefree and even a bit slick on the outside, but in reality, he was terrifyingly perceptive, sometimes thinking even more than Su Tianyu.
"Then we'll leave tonight?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Too many people would be inconvenient, just a few of us will do," Fei Pingsheng instructed.
"Okay!" Su Tianyu nodded.
…
Third District, Italian City, Calabria Beach.
Su Tiannan, with gauze wrapped around his face and sunglasses on, walked on the beach.
Next to him, Zhang Taotao, wearing a long white trench coat and a sun hat, drank papaya milk, looking very relaxed.
"Wasted over half a month of your time, delayed your earning money, huh?" Su Tiannan's mouth wound hadn't fully healed, and his speech was a bit slurred.
Zhang Taotao rolled her eyes, "I'm enjoying my vacation, please don't talk about such vulgar topics, it's very disappointing."
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Su Tiannan asked, "My treat."
"Oh, you've been exploiting me with such justification all this time, what's wrong today?" Zhang Taotao asked with a smile.
Su Tiannan gazed at her fair cheeks and whispered, "I'm leaving."
"…!" Zhang Taotao was stunned.
"I can't always exploit you, haha!" Su Tiannan acted a bit effeminate, using a delicate hand gesture to press his chin, avoiding opening the wound while smiling, "Leaving tomorrow."
Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Taotao's face instantly disappeared, "Oh, that's good."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever!" Zhang Taotao replied, holding her papaya milk and walking quickly forward.
Su Tiannan watched her back, feeling a sudden sense of loss in his heart.
…
Around six o'clock in the evening.
Su Tianyu, Lao Hei, Da Xiong, Da Bai, and Fei Pingsheng and his wife, six people in total, quietly arrived at the Longcheng border.
After crossing the border, they changed to a very dilapidated half-truck and put on relatively inconspicuous clothes.
Smuggling across the border, they followed the mountain ridge for more than two hours, entering the Sinaloa region.
Once they arrived, the scenery became more and more beautiful, but the social environment became increasingly worse. Many empty houses were uninhabited, and there were ruins of artillery fire and battles everywhere, as well as heavily guarded military outposts in many places.
Sitting in the car, Su Tianyu watched the surrounding scenery with his hands clasped together. "Sigh, it feels even stricter than before."
"Yes, it's getting harder and harder to travel," A'hua, looking like a refugee, gnawed on a meat pie, her mouth greasy with oil.
"Sis, eat slowly, drink some water," Da Bai handed over a bottle of mineral water with concern.
"Let's take a break, get out and pee, then we'll go," Fei Pingsheng took the initiative to say, "It'll be even stricter after this, we can't stop midway."
Everyone got out of the car upon hearing this. Su Tianyu found a place to relieve himself and lit a cigarette.
Next to the vehicle, A'hua, like a man, was fueling the truck with an oil drum, covered in greasy stains. Objectively speaking, she didn't look like a woman at all.
Seeing this scene, Su Tianyu felt a little emotional and turned to Fei Pingsheng, asking, "Sis has been running around with you like this every day, doesn't she have any complaints?"
Fei Pingsheng heard this, "What we have is love, not family affection."
A couple who had been married for more than a decade were still talking about love, which surprised Su Tianyu a bit.
"Family affection definitely wouldn't last until now," Fei Pingsheng said with a smile, "But love can. She trusts me a lot, so she supports me."
"You really found a treasure."
"Hehe!" Fei Pingsheng took out a cigarette and grinned.
Looking at A'hua's back, Su Tianyu was somewhat envious of Lao Fei. He could be considered a typical example of a middle-aged man who had not achieved much success. He had been struggling outside for so long without making a big career, but his wife had always been willing to stay by his side and share weal and woe.
This was too rare!
…
Third District, inside a Chinese restaurant.
This farewell meal between Su Tiannan and Zhang Taotao was somewhat depressing.
Ms. Taotao's mood had been low, and she only lowered her head to eat without speaking.
Su Tiannan sat opposite her, silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Hey! If one day, I... I don't have to run around like this... then I'll pursue you?!"
