It was past four in the morning and the sky was already beginning to lighten.
In the Su family's living room, a special agent who claimed to be from the Longcheng Military Intelligence Department frowned at Su Zhengcai and asked, "Have you finished the call? Let's go!"
The reason why the sturdy man was so "kind" was because the Su family was a wealthy family with many people inside and outside, and the matter involving Li Mingsheng was very sensitive. He did not want to have any conflict with the other party in the Su family. He just wanted to take the person out and report, so that he would not get into trouble.
Su Zhengcai looked at the other party, not knowing what was going on outside, so he didn't dare to be stubborn. He just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"You can't leave alone now. Your eldest son and your second son have to cooperate with our investigation." The sturdy man replied with a frown.
Su Zhengcai clenched his palms and said in a deep voice, "My second son is not here." Then he turned back and said to Tiannan, "Let's go with him."
At this time, all the men gathered at the door of the Su family walked in silently. Su Tianzhan was the first to speak and asked, "We are all ordinary people. We don't invite disasters or cause trouble. Why do you come to arrest us in the middle of the night?!"
The sturdy man ignored Su Tianzhan and came to Su Zhengcai, taking out handcuffs: "I have been very restrained, you'd better cooperate and don't let me throw your face to the ground."
Su Zhengcai looked at the other party coldly, waved his hand and said to his family, "If you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door! Stop making a fuss here, I'll go with them..."
"Wait a moment!"
As soon as the voice fell, Second Aunt ran out of the house, holding the mobile phone and yelled to Su Zhengcai: "It's Liuzi on the phone, he said it's urgent!"
Su Zhengcai was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and said to the other party: "Can I take a call?!"
“What the hell! I gave you face, didn’t I? The Military Intelligence Department summoned me, and I didn’t tie you up and take you away. I’m taking care of you!” The young man behind the leader stepped forward and grabbed Su Zhengcai’s wrist.
"What are you doing?!"
"You're going to hit someone again?!"
"Let go of my dad!"
“…!”
About twenty or thirty men in the Su family gathered in the living room and glared at the five special operators.
"Shout out and let our people outside in." The burly man in the lead gave the order expressionlessly.
The young man next to him immediately picked up the intercom: "Take your weapons and come in!"
Su Zhengcai pushed the young man aside, looked up at the burly man and said, "It's not that I don't want to go with you. It's useless for you to keep acting like this. I still don't know what happened outside. Let me answer the phone and ask him a few questions. What if he tells me and cooperates with you?"
The sturdy man looked inside and outside the house, at the twenty or thirty men of the Su family, and touched the gun with his right hand. He paused for a moment and said, "I'll give you two more minutes. Tell the person who called you that he is ignorant and will definitely not make it through today."
The sturdy man agreed to let Su Zhengcai answer the phone because he realized that the person calling was most likely Su Tianyu, so there was nothing wrong with putting some pressure on the other party through Su Zhengcai.
Su Zhengcai nodded, pointed at everyone in the Su family and said, "Stop messing around!"
After saying that, Su Zhengcai took the phone and walked into the corridor.
In the living room, Su Tiannan, who was usually taciturn, looked at the special operators showing off their power, and his emotions fluctuated greatly.
Many recent events have quietly changed Su Tiannan's worldview. In the past, he thought that as long as the people in his family were willing to work hard and work together, they would definitely be better off and live a prosperous life.
But ever since the Su family's sanitation company gradually gained momentum and was doing better and better, the various events they encountered were quite different from what Su Tiannan had expected.
Just as the company grew and became profitable, Su Zhengcai was framed for arms trafficking, and then they were forced to join the Yu family, and were forced to flee two or three times in succession. In these events, Su Tiannan saw with his own eyes what darkness was and what it meant to be weak. The weak had no right to choose at all, and they could only go with the flow and follow the direction of the upper class.
A few days ago, after Xiao Yucheng came back, he went to Su Zhengcai's house to ask for help, but his second uncle finally handed the matter over to Su Tiannan to deal with, so the latter almost witnessed with his own eyes how Xiao Yucheng, who worked honestly and was a good citizen, was forced to death.
You know, Xiao Yucheng's case is not an isolated incident with a very low probability of happening in society! His death and his experience represent the situation of countless workers.
A good man, after wandering outside for thirteen years, his wife died and he became disabled. He returned to Longcheng with full of hope, but ended up with his family broken up.
As Su Tiannan witnessed this incident with his own eyes, he felt deeply touched and even a little sad.
And today, a special agent from the Military Intelligence Department came to his house and wanted to arrest someone without any reason, which made him even more upset.
In this era, in a place like Longcheng that looks stable but is actually in chaos, being an honest person or doing business honestly seems to be impossible. Without power, people are like fish on the chopping board, and if they are not careful, their families will be destroyed and they will have to pack up and run away.
Su Tiannan looked at the people in the room, his mouth twitching and his eyes gloomy.
In the corridor.
After Su Zhengcai answered the phone, he shouted, "What's going on?!"
"Has anyone gone home?" Su Tianyu's voice rang out.
"Some people from the military intelligence department came and wanted to arrest me."
"Damn it!" Su Tianyu heard this and immediately asked anxiously: "Didn't Mingyuan call you to tell you that something went wrong with the supervision?!"
"He only told me that there was a hostage over there and you were at the scene, and asked me not to worry..." replied the second uncle.
Yu Mingyuan passed away very early and he was not aware of the series of events that happened afterwards, so it was understandable that he explained this to his second uncle.
Su Tianyu paused for a moment and replied, "Second Uncle, this is a bit complicated to explain. Anyway... I was involved in a political struggle among some high-ranking figures. The person who is looking for you now should be someone from Municipal Secretary Lu."
When Su Zhengcai heard this, he immediately cursed: "Fuck you, will you die if you don't commit suicide? Why did you offend the city secretary?!"
"Because I'm on the mayor's side..."
"What did you say?!" Su Zhengcai asked with a frown.
"I said, I'm on the mayor's side. I'll protect him outside the district and take him back." Su Tianyu didn't have time to explain so much, so he just said, "Second Uncle, don't be stubborn with the other party. If you delay a little bit, the mayor's people will come over..."
When Su Zhengcai heard this, he immediately asked, "Are you sure that your boss is Li Mingsheng?!"
"Yes, he was with me! In order to exchange hostages, he entered the Supervisory Committee building by himself, and was later taken out of the district by the Ruler Army... But unexpectedly, someone didn't want him to go back."
"…!" Su Zhengcai's expression turned strange when he heard this.
