Chapter 269: Pursuit (Immortal Update)

Wei Xiangzuo, who had been awaiting final judgment, was directly released on bail with Su Tianyu holding the Zone investigation order and Mayor's Secretary Li Yuan beside him, using Li Mingsheng's tiger skin as cover.

The reason was that Wei Xiangzuo had dealt with the Chi Army and was familiar with some members involved in the secret assassination attempt on the mayor, so he was specially recruited by the special case team as a "case informant," temporarily released on bail, not permitted to leave Dragon City. The guaranteeing departments were Dragon City government and the Zone investigation order - the detention department had no right to question it.

When officers brought Wei Xiangzuo out, he was completely stunned, looking at Su Tianyu in disbelief: "Mother fucking bastard, you didn't conspire with the Chi Army to kidnap the mayor, did you? If so, I won't go with you..."

"Don't talk, speak outside," Su Tianyu urged. "Hurry and sign!"

Wei Xiangzuo's shackles were removed as he suspiciously bent over the desk, signing a large batch of paperwork including his restricted movement notice, bail notice and other written documents.

After being brought out, Su Tianyu sat alone with Wei Xiangzuo in one car, while Li Yuan in the front car called Mayor Li. Because he really couldn't read Su Tianyu's pulse and felt this kid was too bold - beyond his ability to handle.

"Leader, I went around with Little Su... but... he used the investigation order to handle some private matters, including getting serious criminals from prison and such," Li Yuan probed. "What do you think about this...?"

"Did he handle what he needed to?" Li Mingsheng asked.

"Yes, handled it quite steadily," Li Yuan replied. "Because I privately called friends on the garrison side - they said Wen Zhanbo really went to headquarters to help work on this matter."

"Then as long as Su Tianyu doesn't cross too many lines, let him be," Li Mingsheng replied softly. "He's done a lot of work for me running around - you have to give some sweet dates."

"Understood!" Li Yuan nodded.

With that, they ended their call.

Li Yuan held his phone, instructing expressionlessly: "Go to Jin Maohui's."

In the back car.

Wei Xiangzuo, like a primary school student, asked in a low voice: "Fuck, how did you manage this?"

"Don't worry about other things - being bailed out is a signal that the mayor is protecting you," Su Tianyu had no time to explain so much, only saying softly: "Later, I'll arrange for you to be temporarily held at the Police Bureau hospital - after I finish my business, I'll get you out."

Wei Xiangzuo nodded.

"Know what it means that I'm getting you out at this time?" Su Tianyu asked.

"Solve the gang leadership matter," Wei Xiangzuo replied without hesitation. "I'm not stupid - do I need you to teach me?"

"Coming out means working! Quick work!"

"Got it." Wei Xiangzuo nodded.

Neither had empty heads, so they understood each other's thoughts after just exchanging a few words.

Just as Su Tianyu was preparing to first send Wei Xiangzuo to the Police Bureau hospital, the front car suddenly stopped as Li Yuan got out and knocked on Su Tianyu's window. The latter definitely didn't dare put on airs in front of him, immediately getting out to ask: "What is it, Brother Li?"

"Secretary-General Lu is trying to run - already at the airport. Old Jin's side wants you to lead a team over," Li Yuan said softly. "You understand what to do, right?"

Su Tianyu understood very clearly in his heart that the reason Li Mingsheng let him get involved was because he had no political stance and was a new face - no one needed to be indulged. Most importantly, no one knew this new face's way of handling things.

Considering all these reasons, Su Tianyu knew in his heart what he needed to do.

"Understood!" Su Tianyu nodded.

"Then go directly to the airport."

"Wei Xiangzuo...?"

"Don't worry, I'll have someone take him," Secretary Li responded nodding.

......

Half an hour later, at Dragon City's Longten Airport.

Secretary-General Lu with eight people beside him quickly reached security through the VIP channel, handing over his credentials.

At the security counter, after verifying Secretary-General Lu's credentials, the staff member looked up at him replying: "Sir, sorry, your credentials..."

Before the staff member could finish speaking, a man standing behind Secretary-General Lu directly showed an official Military Intelligence Department officer's credentials, saying seriously: "Don't waste words, let us through quickly!"

The staff member paused: "Please wait, I need to call a supervisor..."

"Call the airport people," Secretary-General Lu instructed those beside him.

The Military Intelligence agent took out his phone, immediately dialing a number.

The group stayed at security for less than three minutes before an airport leader walked out from inside security, only looking up to call to the staff: "Special departments are exempt from inspection - let them in."

"Hello, keep your credentials safe - you may enter," the staff member returned Secretary-General Lu's credentials to him.

The group of nine stepped directly through security. Everything settled, they still walked through the VIP check-in channel, preparing to take the VIP shuttle to board a private plane leaving Dragon City.

Secretary-General Lu walked hurriedly, anxious, because an hour ago both the Supervision Assembly chairman and his political connections in Zone One had called him, telling him to leave at top speed.

This meant Old Li's counterattack was coming, and as a key link in the storm center, Secretary-General Lu was naturally within range of Old Li's counterattack.

Back to Zone One - just get back to Zone One and no one could touch him!

A city Political Secretary-General was among the top five chairs in the city - one could imagine the power of his connections behind him.

......

At the training base headquarters.

Li Mingsheng stood at the window with hands behind his back looking at the scenery outside when the phone on the windowsill suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Li Mingsheng answered immediately.

"Old Li, Zone One just finished a meeting - regarding Dragon City's matter, there may need to be an adjustment..."

"...!" After hearing what the other said, Li Mingsheng asked with tightly furrowed brows: "Every time it's like this! Damn it, whenever we Chinese get involved, a simple matter is guaranteed to become complicated! I'll just do it - what can they do to me...?!"

"Old Li, don't be impulsive - need to consider our autonomous city's external influence! Political struggle has escalated to attempting to kill the mayor... isn't this...?"

......

In the airport hall, Su Tianyu led over thirty Anti-Terror Squad core members charging toward security.

"Ring ring!"

A phone rang.

Su Tianyu stopped, immediately answering: "Hello, Mayor!"

"I just received a call from above - handling it this way..." Li Mingsheng very subtly gave Su Tianyu a couple hints over the phone.

Ten minutes later.

Just as Secretary-General Lu reached the VIP boarding gate for the shuttle, four men disguised as tourists immediately stood up.

"Secretary-General Lu, we're from the Anti-Terror Squad - need to understand some situations with you," the Anti-Terror Squad members walked toward him.

Meanwhile, Su Tianyu and others were stopped outside the door by security staff for carrying weapons.
