Su Tianyu was a decisive person. Upon seeing Xu Hu, he immediately gave Kong Zhenghui a look, and the latter promptly put his hand in his pocket.
"You little bastards, since the establishment of the Dock Workers General Association in Dragon City, no one has dared to draw knives or guns here," Xu Hu squinted at Su Tianyu and the others, directly extending his hand.
The driver took a gun from his waist and handed it to Xu Hu.
Xu Hu took the gun, cocked the hammer with his thumb, and aimed directly at Big Bai who was lying on the ground: "I'll say this only once, release the people!!!"
......
On the street.
Wang Daolin looked at his phone and frowned, saying: "Drive, let's go in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a car suddenly rushed past on the left. Wang Daolin turned his head to look, then suddenly waved his hand: "Wait, don't move yet."
Inside the main building of the warehouse, Su Tianyu held the knife to Xu Er's neck and replied expressionlessly: "Don't point at Bai Hongbo, he's not in charge. I'm the one who cut you, point your gun at me. I'll point my knife at him, and let's see whose hand doesn't shake."
Veins bulged on Xu Hu's forehead as his finger slowly pressed on the trigger.
Just then, someone walked in from outside and whispered in Xu Hu's ear: "The dirty gang has come. Su Zhengcai, Old Bai, and Old Kong have brought over a hundred people to the street corner."
Hearing this, Xu Hu's hesitation disappeared. He gritted his teeth and was about to pull the trigger.
"Xu Hu!"
At this critical moment, a shout suddenly came from outside. A young man in a suit pushed through the dock gang crowd and rushed into the room with hurried steps.
The Yu family's eldest son, Yu Mingyuan, had arrived.
The moment Su Tianyu saw Yu Mingyuan, all the negative emotions in his heart, including the physical pain, instantly disappeared.
Xu Hu was also stunned when he saw Yu Mingyuan: "Boss Yu, did you call them here?"
Yu Mingyuan glanced at the blood-covered Su Tianyu and the others, paused slightly, then said politely to Xu Hu: "I didn't call them here, but they are my people. Brother Xu, I don't want to discuss the previous matter today. Can you do me a favor and let me take them away?"
"Do you think that's possible?!" Xu Hu pointed at Xu Er, who was being held hostage by Su Tianyu, and said: "That's my brother, he's already been stabbed, understand?"
Yu Mingyuan paused, then took a check from the inside pocket of his suit: "I just filled this out in the car for 200,000. This money is an apology for our company's previous sea smuggling without notifying the dock gang. Take it and release the people and goods, alright, Brother Xu?"
Wei Xiangzuo, who had been silent all along, was visibly stunned upon hearing this. He looked suspiciously at the small leader beside him and asked: "What does this mean?"
The small leader didn't dare to respond.
"Did we take the goods at sea?" Wei Xiangzuo asked again.
The small leader hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Wei Xiangzuo frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said nothing more.
In the living room, Xu Hu gripped the gun: "Boss Yu, I'm sorry, but this matter can't be resolved today. I can't give you this face."
Yu Mingyuan held the check, the polite expression on his face gone, his brows furrowed as he asked coldly: "I'll ask you one more time, can you release the people?"
"They can't be released!" Xu Hu replied: "Boss Yu, you go back first, we'll talk tomorrow."
"Fine."
Yu Mingyuan didn't waste any more words. He put away the check and took out the phone from his pocket that had been connected all along, saying: "You can come in now."
Xu Hu frowned: "No matter who comes, they won't be able to leave."
As he finished speaking, Wei Xiangzuo, who had been watching for a long time, stepped up to Xu Hu's side and asked in a low voice: "You hijacked the goods?"
Xu Hu looked at Wei Xiangzuo but didn't say anything, which was tantamount to admitting it.
"You've broken the rules a bit," Wei Xiangzuo said, then turned and left.
The dock gang people were stunned for a moment. Those who had come with Wei Xiangzuo left with him almost without any hesitation.
Outside the door, a man asked Wei Xiangzuo: "We're not getting involved anymore, Sitting Hall?"
"Goods passing over water must pay dues to the dock gang, that's the rule. But if you want money, you should ask for it openly. If they don't give, beat them until they do," Wei Xiangzuo replied expressionlessly. "But you hijacked goods and detained people, and then got trapped in your own home. This is too disgraceful, I'm not getting involved anymore."
With that, Wei Xiangzuo strode away.
Just as the group walked out the door, a truck with Dragon City garrison unit license plates directly scattered the crowd and stopped abruptly at the entrance.
Thirty soldiers lined up on the truck, all fully armed. The passenger door of the truck flew open, and a young man in military uniform got out and walked directly into the main building.
This was the same person who had accompanied Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo, and the others to find Lu Feng on the mountain that day.
After entering the room, the young officer looked at Xu Hu expressionlessly and said: "The people and goods are related to the military. I won't waste words with you. Have the people at the door disperse, I'll take them away directly."
Xu Hu never expected the military to come. He frowned as he looked at Yu Mingyuan, bewildered for a long time.
Kong Zhenghui and the others looked at the young military officer and were about to leave, but Su Tianyu suddenly narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Don't move yet."
Xu Hu gripped the gun and looked at Yu Mingyuan through gritted teeth: "If you leave like this and can still do well in your sea business, I, Xu Hu, will take your surname!"
The facade was torn.
Yu Mingyuan smiled, his eyes fixed on Xu Hu as he said word by word: "The goods and people were trapped in your warehouse, right? I gave you 200,000, which was already giving you enough face. Do you think I'm afraid of you, Xu Hu?! I just thought that in doing business, we should fucking get along harmoniously! Just now I wanted to take the people and goods away, you didn't agree. Fine, now you're just giving me these two things, and I still can't leave!"
The young military officer was stunned upon hearing this, while Yu Mingyuan suddenly turned his head and shouted after finishing: "Su Tianyu, however they cut you just now, you cut them back the same way! Fuck their mothers, if one truck of soldiers isn't enough, I'll call a whole battalion here today!"
Hearing this, Su Tianyu immediately shouted: "Zhang Hao, it's time for revenge!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao, who had just been supported by Kong Zhenghui, immediately picked up a knife from the ground and lunged towards Xu Er.
Following this, Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui, Su Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, and the leaders of each family all grabbed knives and surrounded Xu Er, hacking and pummeling him furiously.
Xu Hu's face turned red with anger, his gaze empty as he was about to raise his arm to fire.
"Slap!"
The young military officer immediately drew his service weapon and pressed it against Xu Hu's head, cursing in a low voice: "I advise you to calm down. I said, the people and goods are related to our military."
Hearing this, Xu Hu gripped his gun, motionless.
At this moment, Tang Baiqing, who had been avoiding the situation, had to step forward and pull Yu Mingyuan: "This is going too far. Do you really not want to do the sea business anymore?! The military can't receive and deliver goods for you, right? What will you do in the future? Can you give me some face, okay?"
These words seemed to be considering Yu Mingyuan's interests, but they actually carried a certain threat. Because Tang Baiqing represented the official port relationships, and at this moment, he was standing on Xu Hu's side.
"Mingyuan, that's about enough. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me too. The dock gang and us..."
"Slap!"
Yu Mingyuan suddenly raised his arm and slapped Tang Baiqing across the face. The latter was stunned on the spot.
"I treated you as a friend, but you treated me like an idiot!" Yu Mingyuan pointed at his face and said word by word: "...Without your three acres of land, do you think my Yu family can't eat?"
As he finished speaking, Yu Mingyuan turned and shouted: "Load the goods, let's go!"
In the corner, after finishing with Xu Er, Bai Hongbo raised a chair with both hands and started smashing it wildly on the dock gang leaders on the ground: "You beat me, you beat me, right?! You thought I was a soft persimmon, right?! Get up, let's fight one-on-one!"
