Chapter 183 Asking the Heart

In the Xiaoshan Cemetery in the suburbs of Dragon City, Gu's mother and Gu Tongshan were buried together, to shine with the sun and moon from then on, and sleep with the mountains and rivers.

In front of the tomb, relatives and friends who came to offer condolences presented flowers, or knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Gu Baisun took off his mourning clothes and threw them into the burning brazier.

Behind the crowd, Su Tianyu, wearing a suit and sunglasses, stood on the winding stone road, feeling a cold draft on the back of his neck.

Perhaps Gu Tongshan missed him too much, and when he picked up his old partner, he came over to take a look at him, wondering if he could take him away as well.

After all, the man had fallen into Su Tianyu's hands, so he felt a little disgusted with this cemetery in his heart. Seeing that the burial ceremony was almost over, he followed the group that had left earlier down the mountain.

It was nearly 11:00 a.m.

Su Tianyu stood beside the car, waiting with his hands in his pockets.

"Tianyu!" Gu Baisun led his relatives and friends down the mountain and took the initiative to greet him.

"Hey!" Su Tianyu nodded.

"Brother Feng, take the guests back first and start the meal as planned." Gu Baisun turned around and instructed, "I'll ride in the same car with them."

"Okay." Niu Feng responded.

A few minutes later, Gu Baisun got into Su Tianyu's car and sat in the passenger seat.

"My condolences," Su Tianyu said to him, driving down the mountain himself.

Wherever cemeteries are located, the greenery is very lush and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

The two sat in the car, enjoying the scenery along the way and chatting.

"I don't want to rush you at this time, but the problem with the stevedore association can't be delayed any longer. It must be resolved as soon as possible." Su Tianyu sighed, "The sooner it's done, the better."

"Yes, it can't be delayed." Gu Baisun agreed.

"We won't hold you accountable for what you did to Brother Wei before. After all, you were in a difficult situation at the time, and the result was okay." Su Tianyu said with a serious expression, "But from now on, you can't hide anything from us during our cooperation."

"Even if Jing Yan hadn't been transferred, I wouldn't have touched Brother Wei." Gu Baisun explained, "I dealt with him because I had no choice at the time, in order to stall Jing Yan."

"Let's not talk about that." Su Tianyu changed the subject, "Let's talk about the follow-up plan."

"What are your thoughts?"

"Zhang Ming is like a tortoise, hiding in the garrison command. You can't kill him, and you can't defend against him. It's very tricky." Su Tianyu frowned.

"Yes, Kang Dinghuang and Lao Tan are willing to give him financial support. He hides behind the scenes and manipulates things, so we really can't do anything." Gu Baisun nodded in agreement, "We have to find a way to get him out too."

The two had a tacit understanding, and Su Tianyu immediately added, "Let's bypass Zhang Ming and have the stevedore association hold a public vote to remove Zhang Ming and elect a new president! What do you think?"

Gu Baisun's eyes lit up. "Good idea! This way, if Zhang Ming wants to protect the market, he has to show up! If he doesn't show up, we'll just elect a new president! Either way, we win!"

Su Tianyu paused for a moment. "The problem is... do we have enough cards in our hand?"

"We should have enough." Gu Baisun thought for a moment, "Look, since the infighting in the stevedore association started, the other side hasn't gained any advantage. Kang Dinghuang was driven away, Zhou Peng died, and now Jing Yan has also ascended to heaven. Although there have been some twists and turns in the middle, we have always had the initiative... In addition, Zhang Ming is like a turtle, not even daring to show his face, which has caused many fence-sitters in the association to lose confidence in him! So, now, as long as we are willing to spend money to win them over, and are willing to give them important positions and resources, it's not difficult to win over a certain number of high-level people!"

Su Tianyu nodded slowly.

"At least it's not difficult to start a public vote." Gu Baisun explained softly, "Since the establishment of the stevedore association, there has never been a record of a president being directly removed. But we have regulations in our association. If more than half of the votes in the council of elders, more than half of the votes from the branch presidents of the sixteen districts, and more than half of the votes from senior members with ten years of membership, then the president can be removed and a new round of public voting can be initiated!"

Su Tianyu looked at him, "Then let's do it, start canvassing votes as soon as possible, and start the public vote as soon as possible! Force Zhang Ming to come out and protect the market."

"Okay, I'll start working on this with Brother Wei after the funeral today." Gu Baisun nodded immediately, "You also need to prepare some funds on your side. This requires money."

"No problem, the leaders won't skimp on the money that needs to be spent." Su Tianyu replied.

"Okay, I'll come up with a specific plan and list, you take a look at it, and if there are no problems, we'll start operating." Gu Baisun paused for a moment. "At most two weeks, we'll push things forward!"

"Okay!" Su Tianyu agreed immediately.

"One more thing!" Gu Baisun said thoughtfully, "Our opponent this time is a bit different. Zhang Ming's own energy can be ignored, but standing behind him is a warlord!! We have to guard against Commander Tan going crazy after losing!! If he really plays dirty, it will be difficult for us to deal with, after all, power comes from the barrel of a gun!"

"I'll communicate this with the leaders!"

"Okay, that's it!"

The two discussed the details along the way, and they both felt that time passed quickly. It seemed that they had returned to the guest hotel in no time.

"Let's go, let's get out of the car and have a meal together." After the car stopped, Gu Baisun greeted him.

Su Tianyu waved his hand, "I won't go, I still have things to do at the Coast Guard."

"Okay, then you go back, we'll communicate by phone!" Gu Baisun waved his hand.

"Okay, I'll go first!" Su Tianyu disengaged the gear and was about to leave as he spoke.

Outside the car, Gu Baisun glanced at Su Tianyu's profile and suddenly called out, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at him again.

"Hehe!" Gu Baisun grinned, reached out and scratched his nose, "Little Yu, there's something I've been considering whether or not to say."

"What is it?" Su Tianyu's expression was a little puzzled.

Gu Baisun put one hand in his trouser pocket, turned his head and sighed, "Alas, I've come to this point today, and the result is a broken family! Even if I don't consider myself, I have to think about those uncles and brothers who have been helping me...!"

Su Tianyu looked at him, didn't answer, and just waited for what he would say next.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Baisun suddenly smiled and looked at Su Tianyu and asked, "Suppose, our plan succeeds, and I finish the job... then my result... won't be the same as Jing Yan, right? Hehe, it can't be, can it?"

Su Tianyu was stunned when he heard this.

Gu Baisun bent over and leaned his upper body into the car, "If there really is such a day... you have to promise me one thing, don't mess with the people who followed me, okay?"
