Chapter 27: Second Uncle Returns Home

On the Joy No. 1 cruise ship, Su Tiannan was somewhat fired up by Tianyu's words, and even seriously considered whether managing this small plot of land for the family was all he would do for the rest of his life.

After chatting outside for a while and smoking a few cigarettes, they returned to the private room together. By this time, Bai Hongbo had already performed several stunts, such as imitating a tongue exploring the grass, which had elicited continuous cheers from Su Tianbei and the others.

They played until after 2 AM, when Joy No. 1 was about to close. As everyone was preparing to leave, Bai Hongbo was still shouting: "If you want to take someone with you, go ahead! I'll pay for it!!"

Only truly generous people could say such things. Su Tianbei immediately chose two girls, planning to do some rehabilitation exercises back home. However, Third Sister called again, saying that the old man had already arrived home. This news directly scared Su Tianbei into impotence, and he said he'd let Big Bai keep these two slots for him, and he'd take care of business when he had time.

Big Bai didn't care about this. In his eyes, people who were willing to visit prostitutes were all brothers for life, the kind you could entrust your wife and children to. So after readily agreeing, he immediately shouted happily: "Alright, that's it for today. Let's all raise our glasses and drink together!"

As the host made arrangements, everyone naturally had to give face. They all filled their glasses and listened to Bai Hongbo's speech: "Classmates, this smuggling case has taught us a lesson! One chopstick is easily broken, but five chopsticks can fight for your life!! Our scale in Zha'nan is very small, so we must band together to have living space! The battle at Fuman Tower checkmated Li Hongze and crushed Lu Feng, this is the starting point for us to become awesome! In the future, I hope all classmates will communicate more, interact more. We can help each other in business, and on the bed, we can also be comrades who can entrust our backs to each other!"

Bai Hongbo's education level could only support him in saying these words. Although they sounded a bit crude, the meaning was definitely correct and very approachable. So Su Tiannan was the first to respond: "Brother Bai is right, let's band together in the future!"

"Come on, let's drink to the few kilograms of fresh blood we left at Fuman Tower!!" Bai Hongbo shouted.

Everyone clinked glasses and drank them dry.

From then on, interactions between the Bai, Su, and Kong families began to become frequent, and Su Tianyu also made a group of friends after coming to Dragon City.

......

That night, only Bai Hongbo went out to do rehabilitation exercises, not knowing that his father had also been released that night. But none of this mattered anymore, as Bai Hongbo's phone had long since run out of battery and shut down.

Among the others, Kong Zhenghui drank until he was foaming at the mouth, while Su Tianyu and the rest obediently went home, preparing to see the old man.

In the Su family compound in Zha'nan District.

After seeing off Wang Daolin, Second Uncle Su Zhengcai sat in the center of the courtyard eating a late dinner to satisfy his cravings. He had really suffered a lot during this period. When he first went in, the young criminals didn't give him any face. The old man had a bad temper and got into many fights inside. Moreover, Li Xing had deliberately targeted him, not allowing his family to deposit money for him in prison, so the old man had to eat the regular suspect's meals, which were very poor. For the first week, the old man couldn't even defecate properly.

As the younger generation entered the courtyard, Su Tianbei grinned and called out: "My father, you're back?"

Su Zhengcai glanced at him sideways: "Your intelligence really takes after your mother!!"

Second Aunt, hearing this, immediately stood up and cursed: "Takes after your mother!! You can't say anything nice, you thing! You all chat, I'm going to sleep!"

"I'm going to sleep too," Third Sister yawned and stood up.

Su Zhengcai pointed at Tianbei and continued to scold: "Tomorrow I'll settle accounts with you about buying guns and finding people! Go, get back to sleep. I want to chat with Tianyu for a bit!"

Seeing his father safely back home, Su Tianbei was already overjoyed and couldn't wait to go back to sleep to avoid being scolded: "Alright, you chat then, I'm off!"

"Then I'll head back too?" Su Tiannan asked.

"Mm, you go back. We'll talk about things tomorrow," Second Uncle was still quite polite to his eldest son, nodding and responding in a normal tone.

"Great, now that you're back, we've all lost our father's love," Su Tiannan joked, patting Tianyu's shoulder. "You two chat, I'm going to bed."

"Alright!" Hearing this, Su Tianyu sat on the cement stool in the pavilion, grinning as he asked Second Uncle: "Not bad, you old man look quite spirited!"

Su Zhengcai raised his arm and smacked Su Tianyu's head with a "pat", then looked him up and down for a long time before nodding with satisfaction and saying: "Dog Six, not bad, you've made something of yourself! I didn't waste money on your education!"

"Hehe," Su Tianyu laughed. "Didn't suffer too much inside?"

"When I first went in, the young punks inside were a bit disrespectful. I beat up two of them, and after establishing my authority, it was fine," Su Zhengcai took out his cigarette pack and tossed one to Tianyu.

"Haha, at your age, still establishing authority?!" The reason Su Tianyu could speak so freely with Second Uncle was that he knew this man was very interesting. He spoke like a gangster, just like an old hooligan with nothing better to do. But in fact, Second Uncle had carried guns and been to the front lines in his early years, and had even been a basic-level military officer. It was only after Zone One's Chinese army corps had a large-scale downsizing that he retired.

"Us Su family men must be dragons wherever we go. We can't live with our heads bowed down to others, that's definitely not acceptable," Su Zhengcai took a drag on his cigarette, picked his eye boogers and sighed. "Sigh, but to be honest, this time I was muddle-headed. I underestimated Changqing Company. Damn it, I took quite a loss this time, but it's not unjustified!"

"Yes," Su Tianyu very much agreed with Second Uncle's view.

"Wang Daolin told me a lot, and your Big Brother called me a couple of days ago and also talked a lot about you," Su Zhengcai patted Tianyu's shoulder and said, tilting his neck. "Man, in this matter, you showed both brains and courage!! So now let me test you, with things as they are, what should our family do next?"

Su Tianyu looked up at the starry sky, took a drag on his cigarette and replied: "In my opinion, our family hasn't reached the point where we can earn money standing up! We stood up briefly after dealing with Changqing, but to wrap things up, we still need to kneel down!"

"Fuck your mother's bullshit!!!" Su Zhengcai cursed. "How can you be so spineless?"

"Why are you cursing at me?"

"You said the wrong thing, I should beat you!" Su Zhengcai glared with bulging eyes.

"I'm just telling the truth. Our family's connections in the industry are too thin. Although this incident has connected us with Wang Daolin, the real lifeline is the Sanitation Management Council! How can we not kneel down?!" Su Tianyu spread his hands and replied.

"Go to hell, I, Su Zhengcai, have never had to kneel down to eat! Whatever happens, happens!" Su Zhengcai waved his hand very firmly.

The next day at noon.

In the banquet hall of Yu Jinrong's home, four tough guys - Su Zhengcai, Su Tiannan, Su Tianyu, and Su Tianbei - were all kneeling on tatami mats, holding wine glasses, nodding and bowing with grins as they looked at Yu Jinrong and two other leaders from the Management Council.

From the side view, these four loyal warriors of the Su family could be said to be kneeling in a very standard posture, without a single flaw.

On the second floor, a big-eyed beauty asked a young man: "Who are all those people?"

"They're all in the sanitation business, coming to pay respects to my dad!"

"...That's right then!"

"What's right?" the young man asked in return.

"Damn it, one of them smashed my car!! And even split open my Winnie the Pooh!" the big-eyed beauty said, grinding her teeth. "I remember now, it's him, he's called Lu Feng!"
