Chapter 464

Hanoi Port, second floor of a teahouse.

Gui Mengjun walked in, covered in bandages, looking miserable. During the interrogation, although he didn't suffer any serious external injuries, he was exhausted. His skin was severely bruised and scratched, and he was injected with two interrogation drugs, which were said to damage the brain and central nervous system.

Jiangzhou looked at Gui Mengjun and immediately got up to greet him, "President Gui, are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Gui Mengjun nodded politely to the other party and proactively extended his hand, "We're all on the same side. Please sit down, Officer Jiang."

Su Tianyu looked at Gui Mengjun without speaking or greeting him. To be honest, he was angry with the Gui family because, no matter what, his family had come to rely on Gui Mengjun. It was a mistake on your part not to take good care of everyone. Moreover, the attackers were all thugs raised by the Gui family. So, it would be far-fetched to say that the Gui family had nothing to do with this.

In addition, after a series of attacks, he also knew why Gui Mengjun appeared today, and he didn't know how to face him.

Gui Mengjun bent down and sat down, turning to look at Su Tianyu, "Still angry?"

"Sigh." Su Tianyu sighed, "The matter has already happened, what's the use of saying this now? Fortunately, we're safe, and we didn't lose our lives."

"There have been a lot of problems in the group. Someone was bribed. When I was arrested, my family was also implicated. At that time, the military intelligence bureau was monitoring outside. They wanted to help, but they really couldn't." Gui Mengjun explained with a serious expression, "I didn't handle this well."

"Mm." Su Tianyu nodded expressionlessly, without saying much.

Gui Mengjun looked at Su Tianyu's attitude and felt a little helpless. He could understand the other party's emotions and wanted to explain, but Gou Liuzi didn't want to respond.

After a moment of silence, Jiangzhou picked up his teacup and said to Su Tianyu, "Hehe, brother, President Gui has had a hard time too! Look, he just put on the bandages and came to explain to his in-laws without even taking time to heal. That's very sincere."

"Officer Jiang, these are two different things." Su Tianyu knew that Jiangzhou had a lot of influence in the Hua District, and he really wanted to befriend him, even lick his boots, but everything had a bottom line. He couldn't sell his family to build relationships.

Jiangzhou smiled and turned to look at Gui Mengjun again.

"Tianyu, let's put aside the engagement and just talk about our personal relationship. How do you think I've treated you?" Gui Mengjun looked at Su Tianyu and started playing the emotional card, "When you called me about such a big deal with Island No. 7, did I refuse you? When it came to settling military equipment business, you proposed a plan, and I never said no, right? We've been working together for so long... don't we have any brotherly feelings?"

"Okay, okay, okay." Su Tianyu immediately waved his hand, "Brother, you've been very good to our Tongji Association, no one denies that, and I'm grateful to you. But you being good to me and what we need to talk about are not on the same level!"

Gui Mengjun was speechless.

"The wedding hasn't even been set yet, and there's blood being spilled and attacks happening. To put it bluntly, if Officer Jiang hadn't come to Hanoi out of nowhere, our whole family might already be lying neatly in the morgue." Su Tianyu frowned and replied, "Okay, it's fine if I'm lying down, because I'm in this circle, and I should die however I die, but what about my family?"

"You're right." Gui Mengjun nodded slowly.

"Can I say three things?" Su Tianyu looked at him and asked.

"Okay, say it!" Gui Mengjun responded.

"First, it's useless to talk to me about the marriage, because it's not me who's marrying you. It's the parents' decision, and the matchmaker's words. If you want to marry Miaomiao, she has to agree, right? Her parents have to agree, right? So, it doesn't make sense for you to ask me to help. I'm wrong to say too much. Second, from my personal point of view, I definitely don't dislike you. Making friends, being brothers, recognizing you as my big brother, that's all fine, but when it comes to marriage, I definitely want my sister to be happy and safe! This happened here, and people from your company were involved, so I'm definitely not comfortable with the future. Third, I don't know what your intention is in marrying my third sister, but if there are commercial and political factors, please put those factors aside. Our initial purpose in coming here was to have a normal blind date, so you and your family better not confuse this matter."

Gou Liuzi's three points were very clear, and he perfectly explained all his thoughts and concerns. Although some words were not pleasant, he had to make it clear to Gui Mengjun and Jiangzhou, who was helping to arrange the marriage, the Su family's most realistic reaction to this matter.

After listening to Gou Liuzi's words, Jiangzhou also took the initiative to persuade Gui Mengjun, "I think Brother Tianyu is right. After all, it's not him who's getting married. It's a bit difficult for us to talk to him."

Gui Mengjun paused, "Then should I go to your second uncle?"

"You can go to whoever you want, just don't come to me." Su Tianyu replied.

"Sigh." Gui Mengjun sighed, "Okay, I understand. I'll communicate this with your family."

Jiangzhou thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Brother Tianyu, Commander Xiang of our Southwest Theater will be hosting a reception tomorrow night, mainly to entertain the management of the military equipment business. After all, such a big thing has happened, we should reassure everyone. At that time, you must bring your family along."

Su Tianyu looked at Jiangzhou and cursed inwardly that this person was definitely a scheming old fox. He didn't get his attitude with Gui Mengjun, so he was directly preparing to bring out the Southwest Theater Command.

Could he refuse? Refusing again would be a bit pretentious!

"Will Commander Xiang be attending?" Su Tianyu asked tentatively.

"He should be there, after all, we are all his people." Jiangzhou replied with a smile, "He doesn't put on airs with his own people."

Su Tianyu took a breath and replied helplessly, "Okay, I'll go back and ask my second uncle and the others."

"Okay, that's it." Jiangzhou turned to look at Gui Mengjun and said insipidly, "President Gui, you have to coax a woman when she's angry, and you have to coax your father-in-law and in-laws even more! What's the most important thing about chasing your wife a thousand miles? It's the attitude!"

"...Yes, yes." Gui Mengjun thought to himself, you little brat, you're lecturing me?

Gui Mengjun only found out about Jiangzhou's identity today because Little Azure Dragon called him and told him that this kid's uncle was the former Minister of the Greater Hua District Security Department, a genuine patriot with a very high rank.

Thinking of this, Gui Mengjun was relieved. A patriot was definitely worth sucking up to.

...

After the three of them left the teahouse.

Su Tianyu left first, while Jiangzhou said to Gui Mengjun, "President Gui, I'll arrange the reception. The rest is up to you."

"Don't call me President Gui, call me Brother Jun." Gui Mengjun felt that although the other party was a patriot with connections, he was so much older than him, so it wouldn't be too much to ask him to call him Brother Jun, right?

Jiangzhou looked at him for a moment, "Alright, Brother Jun!"
