Wind Rises in Dragon City Chapter 125

After the gunfight ended, several bodies and bullet-riddled cars were left at both firefight locations.
When Huadu's police department arrived at the scene, they couldn't confirm everyone's identities, so their initial attitude was very "rigorous" and their treatment of everyone was quite rough - they wouldn't even allow the wounded Yu Jinrong to be taken to the hospital first.
Because of this, Yu Jinrong's brother Yu Jinhang and the Zhou family people made several phone calls to use their connections, and only then did the Huadu police unit's attitude soften considerably.
......
At noon, in the emergency department corridor of Huadu's Conlier Hospital, Yu Mingyuan, Yu Jinhang and others were waiting for Yu Jinrong's surgery results.
On the bench nearby, Bai Hongbo said softly to Su Tianyu: "Damn, these guys are too bold! Opening fire openly in the city, kidnapping, killing police officers - everyone says Dragon City is chaotic, but looking now, this is the real crime paradise..."
Su Tianyu shook his head: "It's not the same kind of chaos. Here the gun control is more relaxed, and there are certain special groups of people."
"This isn't chaos? Then what would count as chaos? Using tanks to commit crimes?"
"I'm saying, the other side probably didn't expect things to reach this level - they were forced into it," Su Tianyu looked at Bai Hongbo. "When you've grabbed someone, what do you do when you encounter police? Surrender voluntarily? If you don't fight you can't escape, only by fighting can you run, understand?"
Bai Hongbo fell silent.
"The other side didn't expect things to get so big either," Su Tianyu said, organizing his thoughts. "I keep feeling... the other side's move this time was a bit rushed."
Big Bai sighed: "Ah, we had just found money and were getting along well with the Zhou family, we could have finally relaxed, but who knew we'd end up implicating good brother Zhou Tonghui... I said before the Yu family was a bit cursed, but you didn't believe me."
Su Tianyu was speechless.
"Yu Mingfei is fine, after all he's a soldier, his psychological quality is different. But what kind of person is good brother Zhou Tonghui? He's the kind of person who thinks of watching ballet when treating guests... who always says hello when meeting and goodbye when parting. Now that he's been caught by the blacks, what kind of outcome will that be?!" Big Bai said softly. "If they don't recognize him and just finish him off, who will the Zhou family blame?"
"You're so good at analysis, just shut up!" Su Tianyu was somewhat irritated.
"Damn, I'm just worried!" Big Bai was also unhappy. "If it weren't for having to look after Qiqi and Wawa at the time, I would have fought them - those two definitely wouldn't have been captured."
Su Tianyu frowned in thought, no longer responding to him.
As the two were talking, footsteps suddenly rang out in the corridor.
Su Tianyu was closer to the elevator direction, so he looked up first.
A woman who appeared to be in her forties led six or seven men walking over.
The woman was dressed very low-key - a beige fitted suit on top and a very ordinary below-knee cloth skirt below, looking somewhat like a female cadre from some Chinese District government department. However, she had excellent bearing, fair skin, and walked with extremely proper posture, head high and chest out.
"Jinhang," the woman called out after passing Su Tianyu.
Hearing this, Yu Jinhang turned his head, and upon seeing the woman, immediately went to meet her: "Sister, you're here!"
Yu Jinhang calling her sister left Su Tianyu quite confused, as she only looked to be in her forties.
"Aunt!" Yu Mingyuan also came over.
The woman nodded to the Yu family members and asked softly: "How is Jinrong?"
"In surgery, shouldn't be life-threatening," Yu Jinhang replied in a low voice. "But it was really close..."
At this point, Yu Jinhang glanced at Su Tianyu and paused slightly before adding: "If it weren't for friends happening to catch up, we would all have been taken."
"Don't talk here," the woman paused before beckoning. "Let's go down, talk in the car."
"Alright!"
Yu Jinhang nodded.
As everyone was about to head out, An Qiqi, who had just finished her examination in the surgery clinic, came upstairs with her papers and, seeing the woman, immediately called out with a pouty, aggrieved voice: "Mom!"
The woman walked over and embraced An Qiqi, asking her a few questions in a low voice before taking her downstairs with everyone else.
"So that's Qiqi's mom, she looks so young!" Bai Hongbo said with bright eyes. "She seems older than Yu Jinhang, wonder if she's widowed."
"Stop talking nonsense," Su Tianyu cursed speechlessly. "An Qiqi's father is very much alive and well, don't spout nonsense."
"Damn, I didn't know, why are you yelling at me!"
Through their conversation, Su Tianyu learned that the woman who had just come was the Yu family's elder sister and An Qiqi's mother. However, she probably hadn't been in Huadu before and had rushed over temporarily after hearing about the family trouble.
Afterward, Su Tianyu and Bai Hongbo didn't participate in the Yu family's internal discussion. They waited in the corridor for an hour and a half before Yu Mingyuan, An Qiqi and the others returned.
"How is it?" Su Tianyu stood up and asked.
"The elders are handling the rest, we just need to wait," Yu Mingyuan replied with a dark expression. "Let's figure out how to rescue the people first!"
Su Tianyu sat in his chair and nodded: "Need to be quick, otherwise Zhou Tonghui and Little Fei are in danger."
Yu Mingyuan loosened his collar without replying, but his expression fully showed how depressed he was feeling.
The bandits had clearly come for the Yu family people - Yu Mingfei being captured wasn't entirely unwarranted since he had the Yu surname. But Zhou Tonghui being taken too was really unreasonable. Zhou Yaoxiang had lent them so much money, hosted them, provided cars and escorts, and in the end his son got dragged in... If anything happened to him, friends could very well become enemies.
Everyone sat on the long bench. After staying silent for quite a while, Yu Mingyuan suddenly said: "Thank you, Little Six!"
"What?" Su Tianyu was stunned.
"Without your friends, we would all have been finished."
"Ah!" Su Tianyu nodded without arguing.
"Let's handle the immediate matters first, we'll talk about the rest later," Yu Mingyuan actively mentioned Zheng Han and the others saving their lives, even in his current confused state of mind.
"Mm," Su Tianyu nodded.
......
In Dragon City, at the Gu family home in the Dock Workers Association residential compound in Longkou District.
Gu Tongshan stood in his study with its hidden door, holding a gilt writing brush and practicing calligraphy on rice paper with his head down.
"Ring ring!"
A phone rang out, and Gu Tongshan reached to answer his mobile: "Hello?"
"Let's meet and talk!" Nick's voice came through.
"Alright," Gu Tongshan nodded.
"I'll come find you?"
"...!" Gu Tongshan frowned slightly: "Don't come find me, I'll come meet you, that's it."
