Su Tianyu never expected that he would be fooled by his usually calm and serious brother-in-law. He didn't even come to Bana City, and the person who picked them up... also surprised everyone, it was Jiangzhou who hadn't seen them for several months.
In the airport lobby, Su Tianyu stared at Jiangzhou in amazement: "What's going on?"
"Haha, Mr. Gui has a lot of things to do, and his face is too familiar to the old triangle. His every move attracts attention, so I came here for him." Jiang Zhou looked at Su Tianyu with a smile and patted his arm: "Why, don't you want to see me?"
"It's not that I don't want to see it... It's mainly because I'm not mentally prepared at all." Su Tianyu replied a little confusedly: "But why do I feel like you guys didn't hold back your farts?"
"Haha, this is really good news, great news!" Jiangzhou looked at everyone and said, "Since you are here, relax and treat it as a vacation. All your expenses in Bana will be on me."
Dabai's eyes lit up: "Is it so open? But I have a question, Commander Jiang."
"What's the question?" Jiangzhou turned his head and asked.
"We can't just travel as a few grown men, right? Right? Right?!" Dabai asked in a chattering manner.
"That's definitely not possible," Jiang Zhou said with his hands behind his back, "I'll arrange it."
"Then there won't be any problem."
"Let's go!" Jiang Zhou called a few people: "Let's go to the hotel first."
Su Tianyu looked at him suspiciously: "What kind of business is it? Tell me first, otherwise I won't be sure...!"
"Play first, there's no rush for work." Jiangzhou waved his hand, and four men in suits standing at the door came over and helped Su Tianyu and others carry their luggage with quick movements.
The group quickly left the airport lobby and were picked up by two business cars as soon as they walked out the door.
When getting on the car, Su Tianyu noticed that there were eight people coming with Jiangzhou. They were all strong and serious young men. Judging from their walking posture and body movements, they must have all served in the military.
Gu Baishun also noticed this and secretly asked Hou Guoyu: "Who is this person?"
"He's from the Chinese region." Hou Guoyu explained vaguely, "He's in charge of external relations in the Old Triangle region. We had contact with him the last time we went to Hanoi."
"Oh!" Gu Baishun nodded, and sat in the back seat of the car, looking at Jiangzhou's profile: "He looks... just in his early twenties? At this age... can he be responsible for external relations? Isn't it a bit strange?"
"Who knows?" Hou Guoyu shook his head. "But he has good business skills and helped us in Hanoi."
"Yeah." Gu Bai responded and said nothing more.
Sitting in the middle seat of the car, Jiang Zhou crossed his legs and asked Su Tianyu, "Didn't expect that we would be able to meet so soon?"
"I didn't expect it." Su Tianyu replied with a smile: "I thought, with your identity... you can't just run away casually, right?"
"Oh, what kind of status do I have? My grandfather has retired. As his direct relative, if you don't work hard, the red in your veins will fade sooner or later." Jiang Zhou replied indifferently: "There are at least thousands of direct descendants of lieutenant generals and above in the Hua District. What do I, a nephew, count for?"
"You are too low-key."
"What's the point of being low-key?" Jiangzhou curled his lips and said, "Talk less and do more, this is our family education. If anyone is to be envied, it has to be you, Brother Su! Li Mingsheng is at his peak, and you are a celebrity around Longcheng, and ordinary people can't compare to you."
"Commander Jiang, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't flatter me." Su Tianyu replied cautiously, "I can tell you responsibly that I can't do anything right now..."
Jiangzhou smiled, turned his head and looked at Su Tianyu and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm definitely looking for you for a good reason, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"Why else would I want to make friends with someone like you?" Su Tianyu immediately praised, "I never embarrass my buddies."
Jiangzhou pointed at Su Tianyu and said, "You are such a smart guy."
The two smiled at each other and started chatting casually in the car.
…
Bana was a country before the Common Era, but later the earth entered a mini-freeze period, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the resources withered, so there was a period of depression for decades, and the country was no longer a country, and the family was no longer a family.
40 years after the new era, the climate gradually recovered and resources recovered. This place became the only sea transportation route connecting South America with North America and the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean. Its strategic location is very important.
However, due to the turmoil of the new era and the continuous wars 40 years later, this island country with an area of only more than 70,000 square kilometers has experienced several changes of regimes and bloody struggles for unification. Eventually, a certain balance was formed and the current superficial stability was restored.
The current ruling family in Bana, the Auxiliary, has applied to the United Auxiliary on several occasions to establish a region, but was rejected on the grounds that the scale was not enough and the government structure was not perfect.
So, strictly speaking, this is just an area waiting to be planned where there is no war for the time being, and it is not a regional area recognized by the United Government.
In the car.
Su Tianyu looked at the street scenes of Bana City and found that although the city was not big, it was really rich. At least the main streets looked more modern than Longcheng.
The various neon-lit bridges, the extensive roads, and the skyscrapers made Su Tianyu feel for a moment as if he was in the port city known as the Pearl of the Orient.
Of course, this is just an illusion. Because this place is too small, and the city is surrounded by mountains and water, there is not much room for expansion, so only the main urban area and key blocks have that kind of magnificent and prosperous feeling.
In the car.
Su Tianyu chatted with Jiangzhou all the way, admiring the beautiful scenery of the city, and soon arrived at an island hotel in Bana City.
When checking in, Su Tianyu accidentally realized that the ID card Jiangzhou used was not in his real name.
"Jiang Xiaonian," Su Tianyu looked at his ID card and said, "Is it fake?"
"It's definitely not fake." Jiang Zhou replied with a smile: "How can a fake one land? My identity information is all real, just a little extra."
As he spoke, Jiangzhou opened his backpack, revealing the documents inside and said, "Look, these are all mine."
"Fuck!" Dabai glanced at his backpack and said, "Brother, you look like a fake ID seller!"
"When doing external relations, there's no harm in having more identities."
"So is Jiangzhou your real identity?" Su Tianyu asked with a squint.
"Of course, I will not lie when I contact you." Jiang Zhou replied with a serious face: "My uncle is Li Fugui, if you don't believe me, go to the Chinese district and ask around."
"Oh!" Su Tianyu replied half-doubtfully.
Everyone checked in, had dinner at the hotel that night, and made plans to go out to sea the next day.
…
In the hotel room.
Gu Baishun found Su Tianyu and asked bluntly, "What do you think this Chief Jiang wants to do with us?!"
