Inside the warehouse.
Su Tianyu put away his phone, looked up at Daxiong and said, "Dabai's brother died, and I have to go to the funeral. No one usually comes to this warehouse, so don't go out, just stay here and recover. I'll be back tonight or tomorrow morning."
"Okay... okay, thank you, Brother Xiaoyu!" Big Bear nodded slowly.
Su Tianyu took out the wallet from his trouser pocket and took out all the cash, about 1,500 to 1,600 yuan: "Take it, just in case."
Big Bear stared at Su Tianyu in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"It's okay, take it." Su Tianyu put the money next to the instant noodles, stood up and said, "Everyone outside is here to catch you, remember, don't go anywhere."
"I... I understand." Big Bear nodded.
"Okay, I'll go first." Su Tianyu turned around and walked out of the warehouse.
Big Bear looked at his back, carefully picked up the instant noodles, lowered his head and started eating.
…
In the evening, in the Bai family compound, funeral music was played and people crowded in. Neighbors from all around, as well as managers and workers from the Bai family company, all came to mourn.
The Chinese characters for "Fu", couplets and red lanterns hung in the courtyard during the Chinese New Year had all been taken down and replaced with black and white cloth strips and wreaths. Only the scattered red firecracker debris on the ground looked particularly eye-catching.
As Su Tianyu stepped into the yard, he heard Bai Hongtao's sister, mother and others crying bitterly.
At the entrance, Bai Hongbo, who had just returned from the hospital, was standing at the door of the main hall smoking, with a very ugly look on his face.
"Please accept my condolences, brother." Su Tianyu walked over and whispered to him.
"Oh!" Bai Hongbo sighed, his eyes a little red.
The two stood facing each other in silence for a while. The Yin-Yang master who had been in charge of the funeral arrangements at the door suddenly shouted, "Who's free? Hurry up and drive to the market to buy a live rooster and some grains. We need to prepare things for the burial now."
"I'll go, I'll go." Su Tianyu immediately walked down the stairs, holding the car keys and replied, "What do you need? Just tell me and I'll buy it all at once."
In fact, when a man encounters difficulties, he may not need other people's words of comfort and guidance, but may need companionship more.
Companionship between men.
Su Tianyu did not try to persuade Dabai, but just did what he could here, even if it was just running errands, buying something, or doing whatever he could.
They were busy until after nine o'clock in the evening. There were fewer people in the yard, and only the Bai family who were keeping vigil, the hired drum and music band, the Yin-Yang master and others were left.
Bai Hongbo moved a chair and sat at the door of his house with Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui and others, daydreaming and smoking.
Dabai was in a bad mood, and Kong Zhenghui did not choose to communicate with him frequently. He just turned his head and asked Su Tianyu: "Why do you want me to get medicine?"
Su Tianyu glanced at him and said, "Heal the dog."
"Stop talking nonsense. Are you giving a dog gunshot wound medicine?" Kong Zhenghui whispered, "Did that guy come to see you?"
Su Tianyu took a puff of cigarette and did not respond.
Kong Zhenghui was a very smart man. He did not mention Daxiong's name, but just persuaded him in a very soft voice: "Brother, he killed five police officers. Do you have the ability to deal with him? If you don't have the ability to deal with him, you will both be hurt in the end; if you let others deal with it, it is very likely that they will be implicated as well. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Tianyu looked at him: "I understand, I know what's going on."
Kong Zhenghui stopped there and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Xu Er is dead, Xu Hu will definitely not let it go. How do you think the Code Gang will retaliate against us next?"
"It's hard to say." Su Tianyu shook his head slowly: "But judging from what happened at the foot of Chika Mountain, Xu Hu and his brother have a deep relationship. They are prone to do extreme things."
"After the funeral, we still need to have a good talk with the higher-ups."
"Zhenghui, what do you think is the gap between us and the Code Gang?" Su Tianyu asked.
Kong Zhenghui thought about it carefully and replied: "The difference lies in cohesion."
Su Tianyu nodded in agreement: "That's right. If people don't gather together and their hearts are not united, it will never be possible to achieve success if we only rely on the three leading big families to make things happen."
Kong Zhenghui also agreed with Gou Liuzi's opinion in his heart and communicated with him in a low voice.
…
The next day, afternoon.
In the warehouse of Mingyuan Trading Company, Daxiong had a slight fever. He lay on the pile of goods, feeling very thirsty and cold, so he kept drinking water.
“Buzz!”
Just when Big Bear was drowsily trying to fall asleep, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the warehouse.
Big Bear sat up with a flutter, covering the wound on his shoulder. He immediately picked up the things on the ground, turned around and ran towards the inner corridor.
About three or two minutes later, the warehouse door opened and a man in a suit and tie walked in with an old man.
"Recently, there was a murder of a police officer in the city. The police chiefs of various districts have informed companies like us that we should strengthen the control of our warehouses and unmanned areas..." The man in a suit turned his head and said to the old man, "You can't be lazy when you are on night duty. You have to come here from time to time to check."
In the corridor, Daxiong, with sweat on his forehead, hid behind a pile of cardboard boxes, listening to the conversation between the two.
"Also, the stuff in here is afraid of moisture, so you have to come and clean it from time to time."
"I understand, I understand." The old man responded by nodding repeatedly.
…
Tianhong Port, in front of Xu’s house.
Several cars stopped and Gu Tongshan and a group of people got out.
"Hello, Mr. Gu!"
"Mr. Gu!"
“…!”
Groups of coding brothers in the courtyard came over and greeted Gu Tongshan.
Gu Tongshan nodded slightly to everyone, led the group of people behind him, crossed the courtyard, and went to the main hall.
Inside the room, although Xu Hu was in a bad mood, he was still entertaining his friends from the underworld who came to attend the funeral.
As soon as Gu Tongshan and others entered the room, everyone stood up.
"Master is here." Xu Hu immediately went to greet him.
"Come and see."
As the two of them started talking, Xu Hu turned his head and looked to the side, only to see a familiar figure.
"My condolences, Mr. Xu." Li Hongze said softly as he stood next to Gu Tongshan.
Xu Hu not only saw Li Hongze, but also saw Lu Feng behind him.
Although the bosses of the Code Gang and the Dirty Gang knew each other, they did not have a very deep friendship. It was obviously abnormal that Li Hongze, Lu Feng and others could come here with Gu Tongshan today.
Xu Hu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Long time no see, Boss Li, Boss Lu."
After everyone shook hands, Gu Tongshan said, "Please sit down!"
Just as he finished speaking, a henchman ran in and shouted, "Help, Chief Inspector Li Xing is here."
Xu Hu turned around and was stunned.
Li Xing is here too? All the influential people in Zhannan from Changqing Company are here today. What's the purpose
