In Tianhong Port, in a high-end seafood restaurant, Xu Hu stood alone at the window, squinting at the night view of the port with a confused mind.
After Wei Xiangzuo and the Yu family ran away together, Xu Hu responded as quickly as possible, which was to "pacify" the Zhanan Ma Gang and Wei Xiangzuo's people.
In order to achieve his goal, Xu Hu used the customs relations he had accumulated over the years in the port and asked the Coast Guard and the Customs Anti-smuggling Department to come forward and carry out a large-scale arrest of direct members of Wei Xiangzuo's lineage in the port.
For the customs law enforcement department, it is actually not difficult to do such a thing, because Wei Xiangzuo and others are running a maritime smuggling business. If the higher-ups want to investigate their problems, wouldn't that be easy
If there are backlogs, then we can investigate them; if there are no backlogs, we can also conduct split interrogations. First, arrest a large number of people, and then interrogate them separately. As long as one person confesses, then he will bite the others, and the number of people involved will naturally increase. So there will be no shortage of evidence chains, because after all, not everyone can die for Wei Xiangzuo.
The customs relations that supported Xu Hu began to clear the obstacles for him openly, while Xu Hu's own people, as well as those from Changqing Company and Longkou, were also secretly cleaning up Wei Xiangzuo's direct members.
Since the Police Department had already warned the Coders Association before, although Xu Hu and his men did not dare to make any big moves, they could still strangle Wei Xiangzuo's men in private.
The henchmen searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Wei Xiangzuo's head man. When they found him, they called their superiors directly. Xu Hu then decided whether to send official personnel or his own men to control and deal with the other party.
That night, Tianhong Port seemed peaceful, but a large number of Wei Xiangzuo's direct subordinates were captured, placed under house arrest, or beaten to death and thrown into the sea.
Xu Hu had no choice but to kill his own people because he was now completely trapped. The more people supported him, the faster he had to stabilize Zhanan.
At the window, Xu Hu smoked a cigarette, feeling uneasy. Although he was currently cleaning up Wei Xiangzuo's people in Zhannan, and everything seemed to be going in the direction he hoped, Xu Hu knew in his heart that Wei Xiangzuo himself had escaped, which was the biggest threat to him.
Xu Hu's uneasiness came from the fact that he didn't know how Wei Xiangzuo secretly controlled Zhanan, and he didn't know what cards Wei Xiangzuo had left to play. The only thing he could do now was to eliminate Wei Xiangzuo's influence in Zhanan as much as possible, so that even if he returned to Longcheng one day, he would not pose a threat to him.
While Xu Hu was deep in thought, the phone in his pocket rang: "Hello?"
"Brother, the Xue family is here, but they... don't want to eat, so I'll ask you to go back to the hall and have a chat."
“…Okay, I understand.” Xu Hu nodded.
After saying that, Xu Hu turned around and shouted, "Let's go back."
…
District 1 Huadu.
Su Tianyu walked out of the entertainment city drunk, got into Yu Mingyuan's car, and met Wei Xiangzuo.
"... I need money. I can't stay here anymore. I have to go back." Wei Xiangzuo frowned and said.
Yu Mingyuan turned his head and looked at him: "What's the point of you going back now?!"
"My brothers are all being screwed! The Coast Guard and the Anti-Smuggling Department are arresting people openly, while Xu Hu, Li Hongze, and Longkou Baocheng's men are secretly cleaning up my brothers." Wei Xiangzuo said grimly, "These people are all with me. They are involved in this matter because of me. If I don't go back, they will be screwed."
Yu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Can you solve the problem now that you go back?"
"Whether I can solve the problem or not is not important. What's important is my attitude." Wei Xiangzuo said bluntly, "When something went wrong, I hid away, and the brothers below suffered as a result. But I dare not even show my face. What kind of nature is this?!"
"If you go back and get caught by Xu Hu, you'll lose your life. What's the point of showing your attitude?" Yu Mingyuan argued with him, "You have to ensure your own safety first..."
"I am safe now, but if I do this, then when I return to Longcheng, no one in Zhannan will recognize me." Wei Xiangzuo waved his hand and interrupted, "That's not how it works. I have to go back."
Yu Mingyuan was furious when he heard this: "We went through so much trouble to rescue you. Now that you've gone back, is there any point in what we did before?! The situation in Zhannan is already the worst..."
"Don't talk so nicely, you saved me for a purpose!" Wei Xiangzuo interrupted with a shout.
After he finished speaking, the car fell silent. Yu Mingyuan and Wei Xiangzuo stared at each other in a stalemate.
“… I don’t want to argue too much with you. The Code Gang and you have a different way of survival.” Wei Xiangzuo said simply, “Without the people below me, I can’t be in charge. I caused the trouble, so I must be responsible. If something goes wrong, I will sell out my teammates and dare not even show my face. I definitely can’t do that.”
Yu Mingyuan was silent.
"If you want to cooperate, give me the money and I'll go back to do the work." Wei Xiangzuo whispered, "If you think it's not worth it, then let's stop here and I'll leave now."
After saying that, Wei Xiangzuo pushed the door open and was about to leave, but Su Tianyu burped, patted his shoulder with his hand, and whispered, "Brother Wei, don't leave in a hurry, let's talk more."
Yu Mingyuan was silent for a while, and then he adjusted his mood and said, "Old Wei, I know you are in trouble, but we must be rational about this matter."
Su Tianyu turned his head to look at Yu Mingyuan and said softly, "Brother, Zhou Tonghui and the others are upstairs. Please go up and sit for a while. I want to talk to Brother Wei."
Yu Mingyuan knew what Su Tianyu meant. He had already had an argument with Wei Xiangzuo, and it would be awkward to continue the conversation, so he nodded, pushed the door and left, giving Su Tianyu time and space.
Su Tianyu sat in the car, lowered his head and lit two cigarettes, then handed one to Wei Xiangzuo. The latter hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, and took a deep puff.
"Brother Wei, your brothers were also scared when Xu Hu showed his knife, right?" Su Tianyu asked calmly.
Wei Xiangzuo turned his head and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Xu Hu can only do this once, because no one is a fool. The people above have raised the knives, so those who can run have definitely run away, and those who cannot run have already been caught. Even if you go back now, you certainly won't dare to snatch people from the coast guard or break into prison, right?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Only when I go back can everyone feel at ease."
"…Brother Wei, the solution to the problem does not necessarily have to be to find the center of the conflict." Su Tianyu waved his hand and replied, "Xu Hu has two purposes for dealing with your people. First, to clean up your people and secure the power of the Zannan Gang as soon as possible, so that even if you go back, you will not be able to turn things around. Second, to deal with your people, force you to return to Longcheng, and find an opportunity to kill you, so that it will be solved once and for all. If you let him lead you, then what can you do? In the end, you will be in trouble."
Wei Xiangzuo was silent.
"I can give you the money, because I asked Mingyuan for five million before. You can go back, but I have to go with you." Su Tianyu frowned and said, "You have to listen to me about how to spend the money and how to do things. Believe me, Xu Hu is suffering more than you now! Changqing, Xue family, Longkou, the Council of Elders, so many parties support him, why? It's all because one day, Xu Hu will be in power and can bring them benefits. And this benefit will make Xu Hu breathless!"
Wei Xiangzuo fell into deep thought.
"Also, since this is a collaboration, you have to tell me your cards in the Code Gang first." Su Tianyu said bluntly: "Only when I know the information can I know how to set up this game."
"Why should I believe you?!" Wei Xiangzuo suddenly asked.
"… All of us in the Su family have run off to this damn place." Su Tianyu replied calmly, "I can't afford to lose any more than you can."
Wei Xiangzuo was silent for a while: "I do have a few more cards..."
