Gu Baishun had just left the prison when he received a call from his aunt. "Hey, Aunt."

"Oh, I worked on your mother for a long time, and she finally agreed to come and stay with me for a few days. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her once she gets here," his aunt said excitedly on the phone.

Gu Baishun paused for a moment. "She's already left?"

"She's buying tickets now, should be at the airport by now."

"That's great, thank you, Aunt." Gu Baishun breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're family, no need to be so formal. You go ahead with your work, I'll call you again when she arrives."

"Okay, Aunt, I'll come see you when I have time!"

"Alright, that's it." His aunt hung up the phone.

Gu Baishun stood in front of the car door, thought carefully for a moment, and immediately made another call to his trusted lieutenant: "Hey, Brother Yang, is my mother at the airport?"

"Yes, I'm taking her there."

"Then thank you!"

"Don't worry, I've got it covered here," Brother Yang replied.

The two ended the call, and Gu Baishun finally felt relieved and got into the car with a frown.

...

Two days later.

Inside an upscale residential villa in Longkou District, a large number of workers were carrying in supplies needed to decorate the new house, including ribbons, streamers, candy, invitations, red envelopes, and other miscellaneous items.

Da Bai lay on Yu Mingyuan's wedding bed, saying with a sigh, "Do you think it would be exciting if I had an epic poker game with Wawa on this bed?"

Zhou Tonghui, who was compiling a guest list by the dressing table, replied blandly, "If you really want to play poker, count me in, I'm also good at Dou Dizhu."

Su Tianyu immediately curled his lips and cursed at the two of them when he heard their words: "You two are really birds of a feather, perfect match!"

As the three were chatting, Yu Mingyuan pushed the door open and walked in: "Da Bai, I have a difficult task for you."

"What is it, tell me!" Da Bai sat up.

"The guests coming from District One are quite important, including my elders and some friends, about sixty or seventy people in total." Yu Mingyuan said with a frown, "There have been a lot of bad things happening recently. When they arrive, you'll be responsible for picking them up and dropping them off, and take some people over to keep an eye on the hotel, you know what I mean?"

"No problem." Da Bai nodded: "When is Wawa coming back?"

"Is she your mother? Why are you always thinking about her!" Yu Mingyuan cursed.

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed. Su Tianyu was about to find an excuse to slip away when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang: "Hello?"

"I'm Gu Baishun, I'm waiting for you at Xinlan Bar in Longkou, just come by yourself."

"Okay, I got it." Su Tianyu replied, hung up the phone: "I have to go."

"What are you busy with?" Yu Mingyuan asked.

"It's the thing I mentioned to you last time, Gu Baishun is back and wants to see me."

"Keep your wits about you when you talk to him." Yu Mingyuan replied with a gloomy expression: "We have to use him at this point, but he'll never be one of us."

"I understand!" Su Tianyu patted Yu Mingyuan on the shoulder to reassure him: "Okay, I'm leaving."

...

Afternoon, a little after five o'clock.

Su Tianyu drove to Xinlan Bar in Longkou District, turning his head to Hou Guoyu, his ever-present bodyguard, and said, "Wait for me here for a while."

"Go ahead." Hou Guoyu had accepted the fact that Su Tianyu used him as a bodyguard, and felt that the job was pretty good. Last month, when his father was sick, Su Tianyu had given him an extra twenty thousand yuan.

Su Tianyu pushed the door open and got out of the car, quickly entering the bar's lobby. Since it was evening, there weren't many people in the lobby. He glanced down at the message Gu Baishun had sent him, then asked a waiter to take him to the second floor.

Entering a private room with good privacy, Su Tianyu nodded to Gu Baishun: "There was a bit of traffic on the way."

"It's okay, please sit down." Gu Baishun replied politely with a smile on his face.

Every time Su Tianyu came into contact with Gu Baishun, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, because he knew that he was the one who had personally sent the other party's father to heaven...

However, Gu Baishun's reaction every time he saw Su Tianyu was very natural, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and was even very polite to Su Tianyu.

This feeling was very strange, making Su Tianyu feel a little uneasy every time.

Su Tianyu bent down and sat down: "Out on business?"

"Jing Yan was looking for me." Gu Baishun looked at Su Tianyu: "Heh, he wants to win me over to fight against Zhang Ming."

Su Tianyu was surprised by Gu Baishun's frankness, paused for a moment, and asked, "Didn't he want you to fight against us?"

"No, now the conflict between you and him is no longer the main conflict. Zhang Ming wants to seize power, and Jing Yan is anxious to protect his position, his mind is no longer on the outside." Gu Baishun reached out and picked up the leather bag on the chair next to him, took out a stack of documents from it and placed them on the table: "If you are going to attack, I suggest you attack Donggang District first. This is the detailed situation of the Donggang District branch. The branch president is called Dong Pengyu, who was promoted by Old Zhang last year."

Su Tianyu took the documents, glanced at them while looking down, and asked softly, "The people above have talked to you, right?"

"We have, Wei Xiangzu is the leader, and I'm the assistant."

"Can you accept that?" Su Tianyu looked up at him and asked.

"Heh, do I have a choice?" Gu Baishun asked with a smile: "If I said I wanted to be the president, would the people above agree? Would you agree?"

"We can discuss it." Su Tianyu replied in a relaxed tone: "I'll have Brother Wei coordinate with you on the subsequent matters."

"No problem." Gu Baishun softly instructed: "You'd better protect the source of the information. Although Zhang Ming will know sooner or later that I'm the one causing trouble, I still don't want to clash with him too early."

"Understood!" Su Tianyu nodded.

"Let's have a drink!" Gu Baishun took the initiative to invite.

Su Tianyu got up and put away the documents, smiling and said, "I'll treat you when it's done."

After saying that, Gou Liuzi quickly left the bar.

Gu Baishun picked up the cigarette case, sat in the dimly lit room, leaned back in the chair, and let out a long sigh.

...

8:30 PM.

At the Zhaonan Coast Guard Station, Su Tianyu sat in the office area and said to the four squad leaders and more than a dozen mid-level cadres such as team leaders: "There's a big mission tonight. All members of the four squadrons will wait for orders at Warehouse No. 2 in West Square. Weapons and ammunition will be distributed in advance, and all participating members will hand in their personal communication devices!"

"Boss, who are we going after?!" a squadron leader asked.

Su Tianyu frowned: "You! Don't you know the rules? If I could say, I would have already said it, wouldn't I?"

"Is there overtime pay?" The squadron leader was used to Su Tianyu's style of doing things and asked with a grin.

"Same old rules, a bonus of two hundred for everyone tonight." Su Tianyu glanced down at his watch: "Alright, you guys gather your men!"
