Wind Rises in Dragon City Chapter 127
🕑 Added 2024-11-25 12:49:36 +0000 UTCChapter 127: Master Will Handle This for You
In Dragon City, in a room at the dock gang's main hall.
Nick looked at Xu Hu with a bright smile, spreading his hands as he replied: "My friend, you're too excited, this isn't..."
"Slap!"
Xu Hu had truly lost his temper and grabbed Nick's collar, growling in a low voice: "When did the dock gang's family business become your business to interfere with? Huh?!"
Nick looked at him and shrugged without replying.
From a chair opposite the sofa, Gu Tongshan said with his hands in his sleeves: "I told Nick to do it."
Hearing this, Xu Hu suddenly turned to look at his master: "You...!"
"Don't get excited, sit down," Gu Tongshan beckoned expressionlessly.
Xu Hu gritted his teeth and after a long pause, finally released Nick's neck and bent down to sit on the sofa: "Master, we clearly already had the initiative, we just needed to keep pressuring the Yu family, I really don't understand why you had to move against Yu Jinrong in Zone One, this way...!"
Gu Tongshan looked at him calmly: "If Yu Jinrong had truly submitted, he wouldn't have strongly protected the three companies below and chosen to take sick leave to avoid the matter."
Xu Hu fell silent.
"Do you know what Yu Jinrong went back to Zone One for?" Gu Tongshan asked.
Xu Hu shook his head.
"He went back to find money, raise investment, to establish an association," Gu Tongshan said softly. "His previous show of yielding was all surface - he hasn't given up, understand?"
Xu Hu frowned as he lit and took a deep drag on a cigarette.
"If you don't thoroughly deal with Yu Jinrong, we'll have to guard against him constantly," Gu Tongshan sighed. "Staying in this deadlock, goods can't move at sea, the port higher-ups won't be satisfied, the brothers below can't make money and will have complaints. Since war has started, we must fight until one side submits."
After adjusting his mindset, Xu Hu ignored Nick and actively asked: "Then what do I need to do?"
"You don't need to handle the bloody matters," Gu Tongshan pointed at Nick. "The Old Mo side has kidnapped Yu Jinrong's nephew and has already made demands. Yu Jinrong applies to the higher-ups to get out of Dragon City, and we'll exchange hostages with them."
"Exchange for whom?" Xu Hu asked.
"Bai Dabiao," Gu Tongshan looked at him and said. "If Yu Jinrong chooses to hand over people, he'll definitely have internal conflict with the three companies below. With him not in Dragon City, people below won't fight for him anymore, and the conflict will be completely over."
Xu Hu frowned at him: "You mean, take out Bai Dabiao?"
"Of course!" Gu Tongshan slowly stood up and walked to Xu Hu, patting his shoulder. "You're my disciple. Your brother was killed, naturally I must handle this for you. Master will take care of this matter for you!"
Xu Hu looked at Gu Tongshan with some surprise, and after a long silence replied: "Thank you, Master."
"Let Nick handle the negotiations, you handle the hostage exchange," Gu Tongshan raised his hand. "Get a final result quickly - getting Zha'nan to resume work first is the top priority."
"I understand," Xu Hu stood and nodded.
"Mm."
"Then I'll leave first, Master."
"Good, you go ahead," Gu Tongshan nodded.
Hearing this, Xu Hu took one of his team leaders and walked toward the exit.
"Goodbye, friend!" Nick called out with a smile.
Xu Hu gave him a cold glance without responding.
......
Ten minutes later, three cars were driving toward Zha'nan.
On the road, the team leader driving spoke softly: "The old man still has wisdom!"
Xu Hu turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"
"Hehe, Big Brother, do you really think the old man wants Bai Dabiao to avenge you?" the team leader asked with a cold smile.
Xu Hu fell silent.
"Nick's people kidnapped Yu Jinrong's nephew in Zone One, then specifically demanded they hand over Bai Dabiao, and before this, Second Brother happened to die at Bai Dabiao's hands," the team leader said with furrowed brows. "Isn't the logic between these events clear enough?"
Xu Hu looked out the window without responding.
"The old man's words sound so nice - you're his disciple, he wants to handle this for you, avenge you," the team leader continued. "But if we really get Bai Dabiao back and finish him, who will the Bai family hate most? Definitely you, Xu Hu! Even the Yu family side will think we orchestrated this."
Xu Hu looked at him again: "You're overthinking."
"I hope I am overthinking," the team leader sighed in reply. "But the facts are right there. Nick is in a hurry to move goods so he's willing to be the gun, and once things start, we step in to take Bai Dabiao and continue hitting the Yu family. Whatever the final result, for the old man it's killing two birds with one stone. He can even find time to play good guy and mediate from the middle."
"Enough, stop talking!" Xu Hu snapped impatiently. "You're thinking things too complexly."
The team leader looked at the windshield without saying more.
Xu Hu was indeed unhappy, but was it really because Nick had made a move in Zone One? Not entirely, because what Gu Tongshan said made sense - Yu Jinrong still hadn't submitted, so continuing the deadlock would benefit no one.
Since war had started, one side had to step back and admit defeat first for it to end.
But what exactly was Xu Hu unhappy about? Thinking carefully, it was quite simple. For the higher-ups to do something this big without first informing the head chair of the Zha'nan dock gang was somewhat unreasonable.
Xu Hu was unhappy but didn't show any emotion on the surface.
As the car continued forward, Xu Hu lit another cigarette and sighed: "Chopping up Bai Dabiao is fine - if Master didn't move against him, I would kill him sooner or later anyway."
The team leader replied with a smile: "You're still the wise one - no matter how unhappy you are inside, you keep smiling on the surface."
......
In Huadu, Zone One.
The lawless Old Mo gang members still didn't know they had already been targeted by the District Security Department.
At the Zhou family estate, An Qiqi's mother spoke politely on the phone: "Thank you for helping with this matter. We hope both our families' children can be rescued quickly."
"No problem, Councilor Yu, I've already called the branch bureau, there should be results soon," the other party replied equally politely.
Around 2 AM.
A tall black man stumbled drunkenly out of a gold brick dealing den and, not quite clear-headed, drove his car straight toward another entertainment center in Pulai New District.
At 3:30 AM, Yu Jinhang held a radio in Branch Three and watched the real-time arrest feedback footage as he called out: "Take him!"
"Screech, screech!"
Four cars appeared on the street, quickly sandwiching the black man's vehicle. From the lead car, a white man with an anesthetic gun shattered the car window with one shot, hitting the black man's neck with perfect accuracy.
In the urban area, Yu Mingyuan turned to look at Su Tianyu and said: "They've made their move."
