Chapter 1 The Dragon City Rises

Outside of Sri Lanka City, a field of endless weeds swayed in the wind, a beautiful sight to behold.

Su Tianyu opened the door and got out of the car, looking up at Yu Mingyuan, and walked towards him alone.

Da Bai, Hou Guoyu, and Lao Hei were all in the car, and the opposite Shuang Hui didn't get out either. The two sides looked at each other through the car windows, without even a greeting, waiting for the leaders of both sides to communicate on serious matters.

Roadside.

Su Tianyu took out a cigarette case and handed Yu Mingyuan one: "What's the situation now?"

Yu Mingyuan took out a lighter, lit it, and took a puff with his head down: "Not good. The person has already signed the detention procedures, and cannot be seen for the time being, nor can they be bailed out."

"Mm." Su Tianyu nodded.

"I need some information about the Xue family, especially regarding their armed forces." Yu Mingyuan said with his head down, "I won't let you help for nothing. I can let the garrison allocate a batch of military equipment to you as a handling fee."

"Hehe, you're doing pretty well now?" Su Tianyu asked with a smile, "You can just allocate the garrison's military equipment?"

Yu Mingyuan looked at him: "There's no need to be sarcastic, right?! I'm in a hurry here. You used to be in charge of the Tongji Association's business outside the district, otherwise... I wouldn't have come to you."

Su Tianyu took a puff of his cigarette: "I do have information, and it's the latest. Something happened recently, and it happened to connect with the Xue family."

"Then what do you mean?" Yu Mingyuan frowned and asked, "Do you want us to do something together? Or are you saying that you want us to contribute some strength?"

"Let's forget about doing it together." Su Tianyu paused and replied, "I called you here because I wanted to tell you not to do anything, and we'll take care of it ourselves."

"I don't quite understand."

"It's easy to mess things up if two groups of people deal with the Xue family together." Su Tianyu turned to look at him; "If we do it ourselves, the target changes from 1 to 2, so don't interfere."

"Then it's over like this?! I'm in a hurry...!"

"Don't do it together, otherwise it will be unclear what the two families will say about the benefits involved later." Su Tianyu was completely in a businesslike state: "We'll do it ourselves, and incidentally help my ex-girlfriend solve her predicament."

Yu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and frowned, "And then?"

"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't let me work for nothing?" Su Tianyu paused and replied, "Then I'll take some money, I happen to be short of military expenses here."

Yu Mingyuan looked at Su Tianyu with a strange look in his eyes, and didn't respond for a while.

"Why are you looking at me with that kind of look?" Su Tianyu seemed to understand Yu Mingyuan's psychological activities, and said very realistically, "Pay as you go, at a critical moment, consider your absolute risk value, no matter who you are facing, you should cut ties when you need to cut ties, and silence those you need to silence. The premise of everything is to protect yourself first... I learned this style from the An family! You're asking me to risk my life, it's not too much to ask for some money, right?"

"Okay, you're very clear about the calculations." Yu Mingyuan nodded.

"It's better to be clear." Su Tianyu said lightly, "I want military equipment worth five million, preferably all rocket launchers."

"No problem." Yu Mingyuan responded, "I'll call the higher-ups right away."

"Alright, wait for my news." Su Tianyu threw away his cigarette butt, turned to look at Yu Mingyuan and said, "If it wasn't the An family who asked you to find me, then just the words 'An Qiqi' would be enough for me to risk my life. But... once he involves me, things change."

"Talking about money is a good thing." Yu Mingyuan replied without any resistance.

"Goodbye."

Su Tianyu waved his hand and walked towards his car.

The two sides separated, and Yu Mingyuan left by car.

Inside the car, Kong Zhenghui asked Yu Mingyuan, "How did it go?"

"They'll take care of the matter, and we'll get military expenses worth five million." Yu Mingyuan replied in a flat tone.

"Hehe, Boss Liu is quite realistic now!" Kong Zhenghui said with a smile.

"He's still angry about A Shui's matter." Zhou Tonghui commented.

The three were silent for a long time, and Yu Mingyuan took out his phone and replied, "It's good to be angry, it's better than not being angry!"

Kong Zhenghui looked at Yu Mingyuan, hesitant to speak.

...

Noon.

In the rest room of the Sri Lanka base, Xin Xiaodong walked in with two backbones from his regiment, and asked with some excitement, "Sixth Master, is there another job coming?!"

The title changed again. The time when Sixth Brother evolved into Sixth Master was exactly the moment when Su Tianyu transferred the latest military expenses he had obtained into the Third Division's account.

"Damn it!"

Su Tianyu touched his bandit-like bald head: "I just fell asleep, and someone sent me a pillow. What can I do?"

"Up the mountain, save the sister-in-law!" Hou Guoyu shouted.

Su Tianyu looked at him with murderous eyes: "Shut up! We're going to work, be serious!"

"What's the plan? Who are we dealing with?!" Xin Xiaodong walked over and asked.

"This job is not simple, wait for Sun Wei later, and let him explain it once." Su Tianyu waved his hand and greeted, "Everyone, sit down!"

Everyone took their seats and chatted easily.

On the surface, Su Tianyu, who looked carefree, walked to the window and inexplicably took out his mobile phone and flipped through An Qiqi's previous social media updates.

In a photo, An Qiqi was sitting under a parasol on the shore, gazing at the sunset and the waves, with her back to the camera, accompanied by simple words.

"Hi, hello!"

"Hi, goodbye!"

Su Tianyu took out a cigarette case, frowned, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

...

The Dragon City Rises.

An Zecheng sat in the car and answered the phone: "Hello, speak!"

"I met with Liu Zi, and he does know the Xue family very well, but... he just wants to take people to do it himself." Yu Mingyuan said bluntly, "Moreover, he... he also wants...!"

"Wants what?"

"Wants military expenses worth five million, it must be rocket launchers." Yu Mingyuan slightly changed Su Tianyu's conditions.

An Zecheng replied decisively: "No problem, I'll take care of it."

"Mm, then I'll wait for his news."

"That's it!"

The two ended the call, and An Zecheng pushed the door open and got out of the military vehicle, walking directly into the hall of the garrison headquarters.

...

Three minutes later.

An Zecheng walked into Tan Hengqiang's office and said concisely, "The old faction is coming for me, but they involved my daughter!"

"Sit down, Lao An!"

"I'll sit down after I finish speaking." An Zecheng waved his hand, looking at Tan Hengqiang with his eyes: "I brought the troops to follow you, what do you say about this?!"

Tan Hengqiang crossed his hands and looked at An Zecheng, replying almost without any pause: "Whatever you say, we'll do. If they touch your daughter, it's the same as touching my son!"

An Zecheng frowned and looked at him: "Are you just talking, Lao Tan?!"

Tan Hengqiang was silent for three seconds, then reached out and picked up the landline: "Call Mingchao and Lin Song from the special operations company in, right now!"

Hearing this, An Zecheng leaned over and sat on the chair.

Tan Hengqiang hung up the phone: "Don't be angry first, the child is more important!"
