Around four in the morning, at the Su family compound.
The whole family sat in the living room in silence, all with sad faces. In the dining room on the left, there was a table full of delicious food, but no one had touched it. The soup had cooled and solidified.
Su Zhengcai, wearing a coat, sat in the main seat in the main hall, with a look of anxiety on his face. His wife stood in front of the door, looking out from time to time.
Su Miaomiao was the most anxious, but she didn't want to make her family worry too much, so after coaxing the child to sleep, she sat in the room and comforted everyone.
"It's already this late, why haven't you come back yet?" Second Aunt's face became more and more anxious. She kept muttering to herself as she looked at the dim light in the sky.
"Mom, it's okay." Su Miaomiao stepped forward and gently took Second Aunt's arm: "With Xiaoyu here, it will definitely be solved."
Su Tianbei couldn't sit still anymore, he threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stomped it out, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Don't join in the fun." Su Zhengcai scolded, "Sit down."
Su Tianbei explained: "I just went over to take a look at the situation..."
"Sit down!" The old man's voice became a little stern.
"Sit down." Su Tiannan also lowered his hand: "If Xiaoyu can't handle it, it's useless for you to go."
Su Tianbei was silent for a moment, then sat back in his chair obediently.
Just as the family was getting anxious, the gate outside was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaojie ran in, shouting as he ran: "I'm back!"
Everyone in the room stood up at once and rushed out in a hurry.
Soon, the gate of the courtyard opened, and Su Tianyu and Gui Mengjun walked in under the protection of several guards.
When everyone saw them, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Zhengcai went forward first, holding up his coat that was about to fall off, and asked with concern, "Xiaojun, are you okay?"
Gui Mengjun looked at the crowd that had gathered around him, feeling somewhat touched, and softly consoled them, "It's nothing, there was just a minor incident, sorry to have caused you to worry."
Su Zhengcai realized that it was difficult to say to Gui Mengjun, so he turned his head and looked at Su Tianyu.
Su Tianyu looked at his second uncle who looked a little haggard, and comforted him, "They were just looking for trouble, calling my brother-in-law over to disgust him on purpose. But it's nothing, they didn't dare to do anything to my brother-in-law, they just asked some questions."
Su Zhengcai nodded gently: "It's okay, it's okay, hurry into the house."
Second Aunt also came over, took Gui Mengjun's hand and asked, "Xiaojun, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"It's okay, Mom. I'm not hungry." Gui Mengjun said gently, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting all night. Let's go back and rest."
Instead of leaving, the crowd continued to gather around him, saying caring words.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's all go back and rest!" Su Zhengcai waved his hand, and when everyone saw that there was indeed nothing unusual with Gui Mengjun, they gradually dispersed.
When everyone had almost left, Gui Mengjun reached out and gently patted Su Tianyu on the shoulder: "I can see that the other side wants to stop you from pushing forward the conference. There are so many guests coming, and it will be uncomfortable for you to just pick a few and question them for two days. But don't be anxious and get angry, go back and have a rest, and when you get up, we can have a good talk and see how to deal with this matter."
"Okay, you should go back and have a rest. You've been standing outside for so long, it must be cold. Hurry up and wash up." Su Tianyu nodded and took the initiative to send Gui Mengjun and Miaomiao back to their room.
"Ahem..."
Su Tianyu was about to leave when he heard a cough. He turned around and saw his second uncle coming over again.
Su Zhengcai coughed, walked up to Su Tianyu and asked, "What happened? Why did it suddenly become like this?"
Looking at his uncle's bloodshot eyes, Su Tianyu felt a little uncomfortable and said with a hint of guilt, "It's really nothing. I'm sorry to have made you worry about it..."
The second uncle waved his hand: "We are a family, why are you saying such things? Okay, I don't understand what you are doing, so I won't ask any more questions. But you have to pay attention to safety...!"
"Yes, I know." Su Tianyu nodded heavily: "You go back and rest."
"Um."
After saying that, my second uncle dragged his tired body away.
Su Tianyu looked at his back, then looked at the table full of dishes that had hardly been touched, and felt extremely annoyed.
The originally joyous family gathering was turned into this, and the whole family was worried. This made Su Tianyu very angry and a little nauseous, as if he had swallowed a fly.
After the family members left, Su Tianyu opened the gate and drove to the Bureau of General Affairs.
…
Nine o'clock in the morning, in the office of the Bureau of Statistics.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
A shrill cell phone ring woke Su Tianyu up from the sofa.
After returning to the General Affairs Bureau in the early morning, Su Tianyu had been dealing with the follow-up arrangements for the Security Department and the Terrorism Bureau, and he was busy until seven or eight in the morning before he took a break. He had just closed his eyes for a while when his phone rang again.
Su Tianyu rubbed his aching head, picked up the phone beside him, put it to his ear, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hello?"
"Have you had a good rest?" An Qiqi's voice came from the phone.
"I just closed my eyes for a while." Su Tianyu asked with his eyes closed: "What's wrong?"
"The military intelligence department of the Erdang faction has arrived," An Qiqi said solemnly, "They went directly to the 10th Infantry Division's headquarters to work. These bastards brought a large number of soldiers to patrol our reception hotel and the conference venue early in the morning. Didn't Old Wu call two political and business friends? They were also questioned in the office. This matter has annoyed them and they are afraid. I think if we continue to push forward the conference, there will definitely be problems."
Su Tianyu thought for a long time, sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "So, the organizing committee will put aside the work on hand and postpone the date of the conference. For the invitations that have been sent out, notify the other party; for those that have not been sent out, do not send them out yet. Now go all out to deal with the problem of the 10th Infantry Division."
An Qiqi asked with some concern: "Are you sure about that? Try not to have any friction with them."
Su Tianyu held his forehead and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Okay, then I'll go deal with the organizing committee's matters. Take care of yourself." An Qiqi hung up the phone.
Su Tianyu stood up from the sofa, walked to the window, looked at the bustling streets of Longcheng outside, frowned, and kept thinking in his mind how to deal with this thorny problem.
After smoking an unknown number of cigarettes, Su Tianyu suddenly took out his cell phone and made a call: "Yes, come to my place... right now!"
…
At the 10th Infantry Division headquarters, Parker held the phone and said softly, "Yes, we have already started the operation..."
