Su Tianyu stopped his car by the road and swore: "I swear to heaven, Wu Shixiong absolutely has no contact with me whatsoever, and even less connection with the Su family! But why he killed Zheng Wei, I really don't know."
Wang Daolin was silent on the phone.
"Uncle Wang, you understand the current situation between the dock gang and the Yu family - it's not something that can be resolved by killing one small leader," Su Tianyu continued. "Doing this kind of thing inside the district, the return is too low, you understand my meaning?"
"But why would he kill Zheng Wei? The two had absolutely no connection!" Wang Daolin couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
"Perhaps it was just a simple crime of passion! Maybe Zheng Wei bullied Wu Shixiong at some point, right? He knew Tang Baiqing's group after all," Su Tianyu diverted blame, taking advantage of the dead.
After a long silence, Wang Daolin said in a low voice: "Let me tell you clearly, Wu Shixiong has already been elevated to a high-level case. The Supervisory Council is extremely angry about the police officer killings. If anyone is found to have connections with him at this time, it won't be a small matter."
"I understand...!"
"If you have any contact with Wu Shixiong, you must tell me in advance so I can quickly sever ties with you all," Wang Daolin reminded very directly.
"Rest assured, I absolutely won't do anything out of line. We'll always be one loving family."
"Get lost!" Wang Daolin hung up directly.
Su Tianyu looked at the phone, first with a blank expression, then his expression became complex, and his heart was also filled with some regret.
Daxiong was a simple person. His motive for killing Zheng Wei wasn't hard for Su Tianyu to guess.
Zheng Wei had first smashed up the Su family yard, then was killed by Daxiong - there was no other explanation for this. The latter was clearly repaying kindness.
Already carrying the burden of killing people, killing a few more didn't matter much.
Thinking of this, Su Tianyu felt somewhat guilty. Previously he had mainly felt sympathy for Daxiong but had been actively restraining these emotions, which was why he hadn't stopped him at the warehouse. Yet after leaving, Daxiong would repay him in this way.
Although Su Tianyu appeared casual on the outside, looking sunny and approachable, he was actually someone rather cold inside and very rational.
Daxiong's three stabs at Zheng Wei had thoroughly touched Su Tianyu's heart, and his personal view and feelings toward Daxiong began to change.
Su Tianyu started his car again, heading toward the Yu family home, and after thinking for a long time, called Third Sister.
......
An hour later, in the Yu family villa.
Yu Jinrong, wearing workout clothes, was exercising on a treadmill on the balcony: "Little Su, opponents aren't giving us a way out. Now that things are stuck here, how do you think we should handle it?"
"Uncle Yu, my little thoughts are too elementary in front of you," Su Tianyu replied somewhat awkwardly. "Your vision is far-reaching..."
"When they've got us by the throat, let's not play with that empty stuff," Yu Jinrong interrupted, waving his hand while running. "Old Su always says you're capable, I want to hear your views."
"I still think we should establish an association," Su Tianyu replied softly. "Gradually...!"
"Don't talk about the association first, talk about the immediate situation," Yu Jinrong interrupted Su Tianyu's words a second time. "Now the opponent has their knife at your throat, how do you handle it?"
After pondering for a while, Su Tianyu replied: "You should suggest to the Management Council to terminate cooperation with our three companies and clear us out of the sanitation sector. This can reduce your direct pressure."
Hearing this, Yu Jinrong was very surprised and hurriedly pressed the stop button on the treadmill: "Continue."
"The opponent doing this kind of thing, their purpose is simple - they want to kill us in one blow," Su Tianyu replied softly. "Once the three companies are cleared from the Management Council, we're completely scattered. After the dock gang's anger is vented, it also meets Changqing Company's demands. Once we withdraw, the work zones and territory will definitely be theirs. So, when things reach this point, Xu Hu's side should relent, and the remaining conflicts should be resolved through negotiation... It's possible Xu Hu might even demand you hand over Uncle Bai, since he killed Xu Er after all."
Yu Jinrong looked at Su Tianyu and suddenly grinned: "You little bastard are really cunning!"
"Uncle Yu, what makes you say that?"
"Don't pull this with me, you're blocking my mouth," Yu Jinrong picked up a towel. "You're telling me that clearing the three companies means we're completely defeated."
"No, absolutely not!" Su Tianyu swore. "I'm absolutely considering things from your perspective!"
"Your background matches your intelligence," Yu Jinrong patted Su Tianyu's arm. "Let me ask you again, besides this method, do you have a second option?"
Su Tianyu immediately shook his head: "No!"
"Hahaha!"
Yu Jinrong laughed loudly, pointing at Yu Mingyuan saying: "Watch out for this kid, who knows, one day he might even talk your company away!"
"I'm always watching him!" Yu Mingyuan immediately nodded.
Yu Jinrong glanced at Su Tianyu and called out: "Xiaowen, bring the envelope from my study!"
"Okay!" the housekeeper replied.
"Come, let's sit for a while!" Yu Jinrong beckoned them to sit together in the rest area.
After a while, Xiaowen returned with the document and handed it to Yu Jinrong.
"Show it to him!" Yu Jinrong didn't take it, just pointed at Su Tianyu.
Su Tianyu took the envelope and looked down to open it. At the top were four characters.
Sick Leave Application
Su Tianyu's eyes lit up as he turned to look at Yu Jinrong and said: "Uncle Yu's wisdom is still superior!"
"I've applied for six months of sick leave, crawling back home to barely survive," Yu Jinrong pointed at Su Tianyu and said: "In the end, even if we lose the game, even if I'm forced to step down and leave the system, I'll still protect your three companies!"
"Great wisdom, great vision!" Su Tianyu was naturally cut out to be an advisor, just like his father.
"Ah, being pushed to the edge is also good, we can take some time to catch our breath," Yu Jinrong looked at Su Tianyu and said softly: "Get ready, I'm taking you back to Zone One to raise money! To study establishing the association!"
Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment before immediately nodding and replying: "Okay!"
After going round and round, Su Tianyu was about to return to Zone One again, and there... he also had some old friends.
......
The next day, after being released by the Police Bureau, Xu Hu went directly to the dock gang's main hall.
As soon as he entered the room, Xu Hu saw six or seven black men sitting on the sofa, with a gleaming handgun placed on the table in front.
At Tianhong Port, the man with burn scars covering the left side of his face sat at a breakfast stall eating breakfast, saying softly: "No need to rush, this job will definitely be done, just don't know when..."
