On the phone, Gui Mengjun said softly: "Xiao Yu, I can guarantee you, but let's be clear. Logically speaking, your matter is more complicated, and even dogs would shake their heads if they got involved. As a businessman, there is really no need for me to get involved. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Su Tianyu nodded in response while driving.
"Let's be frank. First, you came to me and we have a cooperative relationship. If I can help you, it means I am helping myself. Otherwise, you and this side will be too awkward and our business will not be good. Second, my boss also called me." Gui Mengjun paused for a moment and said, "So, I have only one purpose in doing this. That is to focus on the arms business."
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
"If you break your promise, I will be in trouble." Gui Mengjun said in a very serious tone: "I helped you, but you betrayed me, then I will definitely turn against you."
"Don't worry, Brother Jun, I'm not a fool. There's no need to offend them." Su Tianyu replied immediately.
"That would be great." Gui Mengjun nodded with satisfaction: "If you two get along well, it will only be beneficial to our business, and there will be no harm at all."
"I understand."
"Okay, that's it. You guys discuss the details, and when it's my turn to speak, I will express my attitude to the higher-ups." Gui Mengjun gave an accurate answer.
"Okay, thank you, Jun-ge!"
"Cooperation is a process of mutual tolerance for the sake of interests, without any personal emotions involved," Gui Mengjun said with a smile.
“Haha, good!”
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." After saying that, Gui Mengjun hung up the phone.
Su Tianyu was driving and let out a long breath.
…
Half an hour later.
In the Coast Guard compound, Su Tianyu brought Zhang Taotao to the door of the detention room and said to her softly, "He is injured and still confused. I'll give you some time and you can talk slowly."
"good!"
"I will have someone watch you the whole time. If I find anything wrong, I will cancel the meeting immediately." Su Tianyu looked at Zhang Taotao solemnly and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Taotao sighed helplessly: "What do you think I can conspire with him when he is about to die?"
Su Tianyu didn't reply, but waved his hand at the other end: "Captain Fang, monitor the whole process!"
"Okay!" Fang Zheng nodded.
After saying that, Su Tianyu ignored Zhang Taotao, quickly left the corridor, and drove to the municipal building.
In the detention room of the Coast Guard, Zhang Taotao looked at Wang Zhen lying on the bed, hugged her shoulders and said, "I have no grudge against you, why are you helping Miao Ziwei to kill me?"
Wang Zhen's face was pale and his lips were chapped, but he glanced at Zhang Taotao with disdain and cursed: "Since ancient times, heroes have always been ruined by women! I was so careless that I didn't realize... You came to the island with a mission."
"Haha." Zhang Taotao smiled and said, "You think too highly of yourself."
"Don't waste your time on me. I can't survive." Wang Zhen frowned and looked at Zhang Taotao: "But I can take you with me to die."
…
On the private business jet flying to Area 1, Miao Ziwei held the satellite phone, crossed his legs and said, "What does it say?"
"The Security Bureau has stepped in to investigate the armed personnel who attacked the island. The upper management is furious. President Huihong and our CEO are trying their best to explain and distance themselves from the matter." The young man on the phone said helplessly, "This matter is too big. I don't know how many people are going to lose their heads."
"Will it get to Li Mingsheng?" Miao Ziwei asked.
"It's hard to say. If it was an ordinary mayor, Li Mingsheng would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat. He colluded with the armed forces that were involved in the Red Army, and even organized some joint operations. No one could save him. After all, the interests of the region are above all else." The other party paused and said, "But the bad thing is that Li Mingsheng is not an ordinary mayor. He is the only one the other side has left in Longcheng. If he's gone... I guess the other side won't be able to accept it."
Miao Ziwei nodded slowly: "Yes, the terminal is lost, and Li Mingsheng also has a card in his hand."
"This is what the upper echelons are most willing to do when they get angry. The island has been attacked, but you still don't dare to get angry. Once you get angry, the terminal data will be leaked in a minute." The other party nodded: "This is not easy to deal with. I guess the last bit of anger will be vented on their own people."
Miao Ziwei didn't take this seriously: "Hey, no matter who it is, it won't be on us. Island No. 7 is not under our management, so what does it have to do with us?"
"yes!"
"However, my trip here was not in vain. I have grabbed some bargaining chips to turn things around." Miao Ziwei said with a smile: "In the final internal meeting, I will open fire!"
"Who are you going to hit?"
"What do you think? I'll beat up anyone who doesn't show up." Miao Ziwei picked up the water cup and said calmly, "Wait until I get back, and we'll talk in detail!"
"Okay!"
After that, the two ended the call.
…
After Su Tianyu left the Coast Guard, he immediately went to Li Mingsheng.
In the office, Lao Li intervened and looked at Su Tianyu and asked, "Is everything done?"
"I spoke to Gui Mengjun on the phone, and he is willing to guarantee it." Su Tianyu immediately replied: "It will be easier to handle this matter with him intervening. After all, he has a close relationship with Xiaopingxi Wang, which will enhance a lot of trust."
"Not bad." Li Mingsheng nodded approvingly: "You did it quickly. Since Gui Mengjun is willing to say a few more words, let's deal with this matter as soon as possible. Remember, you must cut ties with the other side cleanly and not leave any handle. The matter of Island No. 7 is more serious than imagined, and the pressure from the upper echelons is also very great."
"I understand!" Su Tianyu replied, and asked softly, "The data terminal is back. Who do you think should I give it to?"
"Have we reached Dragon City?"
"Yes, just entered the city!"
"...!" Li Mingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Give it to Jin Maohui. He has professionals there and the data can be extracted much faster."
"Okay, then I'll contact Commander Jin later!" Su Tianyu nodded.
Li Mingsheng looked at his disciple and suddenly asked, "After you handled this precious piece of data terminal, didn't you scrape off some oil?"
Su Tianyu was stunned when he heard this: "Leader?! I won't do anything behind your back. I still have some sense of propriety."
Li Mingsheng waved his hand and said earnestly: "What I mean is that if you want to move, you have to keep a little bit in secret. This... can only be kept in your own hands, and don't tell anyone, including me."
When Su Tianyu heard this, his expression became even more shocked.
"What politics? I have summed it up in eight words." Li Mingsheng looked at Su Tianyu, patted his thigh and said, "Use it when it is useful, and discard it when it is useless."
Su Tianyu stared at the old man in a daze, speechless.
"The incident on Island No. 7 has become too big. It's no secret that there are corrupt investors involved. Whether it's the other side or our side, someone will stand up and take the blame in the end." Li Mingsheng said in moderation: "Your contributions may not be exchanged for medals in the end, but may also be peanuts."
When Su Tianyu heard this, he was deeply moved and grateful.
