Chapter 52: Twelve Men Enter the Docks
In the car.
Su Tianyu gripped Guo Lin's neck and asked harshly: "I'm asking you a question, can you answer or not?"
"Answer your mother!" Guo Lin shouted with bulging eyes. "If you can get out of Tianhong Port, I'll take your surname!"
Hearing this, Su Tianyu looked at Bai Hongbo and Kong Zhenghui: "We're stuck, what do we do?"
"If we can't get out, then let's go down fighting," Bai Hongbo said viciously, holding his knife. "Let's take his kidney."
"Really take it?" Kong Zhenghui directly lifted Guo Lin's clothes, exposing his waist and back.
"You little bastards...!" Hearing this, Guo Lin instinctively tried to back away.
Su Tianyu pressed down hard on Guo Lin, gritting his teeth and shouting: "Take it, take his kidney."
"You hold him down, I'll stab," Bai Hongbo replied.
Hearing this, Kong Zhenghui also pressed down on Guo Lin. Bai Hongbo, wearing his helmet, either because his breath was fogging up his vision or because he was too nervous, overlooked the details of kidney removal and actually stabbed down with his machete.
"Squelch!"
With one stab from Bai Hongbo, a finger-length gash opened up on Guo Lin's lower back.
Guo Lin's forehead broke out in sweat, and he involuntarily shuddered. He turned his head to look down and saw blood gushing from his lower back.
Kong Zhenghui cursed in frustration: "Who uses a machete to remove a kidney? Use something shorter, stab more accurately."
"Let's just do it this way, no time to change," Bai Hongbo held the knife sideways, with the tip pointing down, aiming for the position of Guo Lin's kidney.
"Thud!"
The knife tip pierced the flesh, blood splattered, and by this time Guo Lin's whole body was trembling. What man wouldn't be afraid of having his kidney removed?!
Just as Bai Hongbo found the right position and was about to stab again, one of Guo Lin's lackeys who had also been captured finally came to his senses. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't stab my big brother, you ask... you ask, I'll tell!"
"You dare to talk, I'll kill you!" Guo Lin shouted, covered in blood.
"Your brother is much smarter than you," Su Tianyu waved his hand, signaling Bai Hongbo to wait a moment, then turned to look at the lackey and asked: "Where are the seven speedboats?"
The man was stunned for a moment upon hearing the question.
"Are you going to talk or not?!" Bai Hongbo shouted. "If you don't talk, after I'm done with his kidney, I'll cut off your balls!"
Seeing that these people really dared to use their knives, the lackey's mind worked quickly and he replied: "They're... they're in the warehouse on Third Street."
Su Tianyu turned to the driver upon hearing this: "Do you know where that is?"
"Yes, it's the one by the water, not far from here, just up ahead," the driver nodded nervously.
Hearing this, Su Tianyu kicked Guo Lin in the face and said, looking up: "Prepare to go in."
Guo Lin gritted his teeth and looked at Su Tianyu: "You guys are really fucking tired of living!"
"Squelch!"
Bai Hongbo slashed Guo Lin's mouth with his knife, and the latter immediately stopped talking.
......
Three minutes later.
In the main hall of the Third Street warehouse, Xu Er was playing mahjong when he answered a phone call: "Hello?"
"Second Brother, my Old Guo has been kidnapped."
"What?" Xu Er was stunned for a moment. "Kidnapped? How is that possible...?!"
"It's true, just now more than a dozen people rushed into the shop, tied up Old Guo as soon as they entered, and ran off in two vans," the proprietress replied anxiously.
Xu Er frowned and cursed: "Are you all dead? How could you let someone be kidnapped right at your own doorstep?"
"We never thought this could happen! What should we do, Second Brother?"
"Damn it!" Xu Er stood up and cursed. "I'm coming over. Fuck, can't even play mahjong in peace." After saying this, Xu Er pushed away from the table and called out to the others: "Let's go, we're heading to Xinxin Foot Massage."
The five or six men in the room heard this and followed Xu Er out of the room, preparing to get in the car in the courtyard.
"Bang!"
Just then, two vans crashed through the half-closed iron gate and charged straight into the courtyard.
Xu Er was stunned for a moment: "Damn, something's not right...!"
"Screech, screech!"
The courtyard of this warehouse wasn't large, only about thirty meters in length and width. As Xu Er was stepping backward, the two vans had already rushed up close.
"Whoosh!"
The car doors flew open, and Su Tianyu leaped down, his right hand gripping a knife, which he immediately swung at one person's head.
"Grab weapons! Call for help!!" Xu Er shouted at the top of his lungs.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Zhenghui, Bai Hongbo, Su Tianbei, and the other eleven people all jumped out of the cars with weapons in hand. Taking advantage of their sudden arrival and close proximity, they surrounded the opponents three or two to one and started hacking wildly.
Xu Er had just run back into the room and hadn't even had time to grab a weapon when he was taken down by Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui. But he was also a fighter, and as he rolled on the ground, he shouted towards the upper floor: "Call for help, call for help, the dirty gang is here!"
To give credit where it's due, Xu Er's mind was still working. Although he didn't recognize Su Tianyu and the others, he still guessed their identity.
Upstairs were warehouse keepers and dock gang brothers watching over the goods and people. Hearing the shout, they immediately grabbed their walkie-talkies and yelled: "The dirty gang is here, all dock gang members get to the cargo area!"
In the living room downstairs, Su Tianyu stepped on Xu Er's head and immediately shouted: "Don't worry about the others, find Zhang Hao."
Actually, without Dog Six's order, Su Tianbei had already started searching the outside warehouse. After kicking open two room doors and smashing several panes of glass, he finally found Zhang Hao and the other four tied up in a storage room on the left side.
Su Tianbei led people into the warehouse and untied Zhang Hao as quickly as possible.
"Se-Second Brother...!" After being helped up, Zhang Hao couldn't stand steadily on his legs. He had been tied up for days, his blood circulation was poor, and his legs had forgotten what it felt like to stand.
"Don't talk now, let's go!" Su Tianbei supported Zhang Hao and led everyone out of the warehouse, heading directly back to the main building.
Inside, Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui rushed upstairs, hacked at the warehouse keepers and lackeys until they jumped out of the windows, then returned to the main hall.
Just as everyone met up, clear footsteps and the sound of car engines could be heard from outside the small courtyard.
Su Tianyu lay prone by the window and looked out, seeing that the iron gate outside the courtyard had been completely pushed open. A sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see, rushed into the courtyard, all carrying weapons.
"Damn, you dare to cause trouble at the docks?" A burly man waved his knife, pointing at the main building and shouted: "Take them all down, carry them out!"
As he finished speaking, Wei Xiangzuo, who had also been on Tianhong Street earlier, arrived at the scene and asked with a frown: "Whose people are they?"
"We're not sure yet, Brother Wei," the burly man replied.
Wei Xiangzuo stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the dock gang brothers, and said concisely: "They've crossed the line, don't go easy on them. If they die, it's on me. Chop them up!"
With these words, at least a hundred people inside and outside the courtyard, all carrying weapons, charged towards the main building.
Inside the room, Su Tianyu looked at the sea of people rushing over outside, his scalp tingling as he dialed Yu Mingyuan's number.
"Hello?" After a few seconds, the call connected.
"I'm at Tianhong People's Port, in the dock gang warehouse on Third Street. I've got both the people and the goods," Su Tianyu said very directly. "We can't get out now. Boss Yu, it's your choice whether to come get us or not!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone. Su Tianyu untied his belt and wrapped it around the knife and his right wrist, tying it tightly. Then he gritted his teeth and shouted: "It doesn't matter how many of them there are. We'll stay on the first floor, chop whoever comes in first! We twelve came together, we'll leave together or lie down together!! If we get through this, the dock gang will be confused when they see you in the future."
Five or six men followed Xu Er out of the room, ready to get in their cars parked outside.
But suddenly, two vans crashed through the partially-open iron gates and careened into the courtyard.
"This isn't right," Xu Er muttered.
The warehouse yard wasn't very big, only about thirty meters in length and width. Xu Er started to step backward, but the vans were already too close.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The screeching of brakes filled the air as the vans came to a sudden stop, trapping Xu Er and his men in the courtyard.
With a loud bang, the car door swung open and Su Tianyu leaped out, wielding a knife in his right hand as he struck down directly onto the head of one of the men.
"Get your weapons! Shake them up!" Xu Er shouted, grabbing his neck.
As soon as the words fell, Kong Zhenghui, Bai Hongbo, Su Tianbei, and eleven others all jumped out of the car, each wielding a weapon. Taking advantage of their sudden arrival and close proximity, three or four of them surrounded each enemy, striking randomly and mercilessly.
Xu Er had just rushed back inside and hadn't even had time to grab a weapon when Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui knocked him down. But Xu Er was a warrior too, rolling on the ground and shouting up to the building, "Call for help! Call for help! The Dirty Gang is here!"
Though he didn't know Su Tianyu and the others, Xu Er was smart enough to guess their identities.
Upstairs were members of the Warehousing Gang, who managed the goods and personnel. They heard the shout and immediately grabbed their walkie-talkies, yelling, "The Dirty Gang is here! All Warehousing Gang members, get to the warehouse!"
In the living room, Su Tianyu stepped on Xu Er's head and shouted, "Forget the others, find Zhang Hao."
In fact, Su Tianbei had already started searching the warehouse outside. He kicked open two doors and smashed several pieces of glass before finally finding Zhang Hao and the other captives bound in the left storage room.
Su Tianbei and his men rushed into the warehouse and quickly untied Zhang Hao.
"Second… Second brother...!" Zhang Hao was helped up but couldn't stand on his own two legs. He had been tied up for days, with his blood circulation cut off and his legs numb.
"Forget about that, let's go!" Su Tianbei helped Zhang Hao and led the others out of the warehouse, heading straight back to the main building.
Inside the house, Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui went upstairs, killing all the Warehousing Gang members and lackeys before returning to the main hall.
As soon as they met, footsteps and the sound of car engines could be heard outside the courtyard.
Su Tianyu leaned out the window to take a look and saw that the iron gate outside the yard had been pushed wide open. A swarm of people flooded in, brandishing weapons in their hands.
"Damn it, they dare to cause trouble at the pier?" A burly man waved his knife, pointing at the main building and shouting, "Take them all down and carry them out!"
As soon as the words fell, Wei Xiangzuo from Tianhong Street arrived on the scene, his brows furrowed as he asked, "Where are they from?"
"It's not clear yet, Wei ge." The burly man replied.
Wei Xiangzuo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the brothers of the Ma Gang. He spoke in a concise manner, "They've crossed the line, no need to go easy on them. If anyone dies, it's on me. Cut them up!"
With those words, at least a hundred people inside and outside the courtyard brandished their weapons and charged toward the main building.
Indoors, Su Tianyu watched as the crowd rushed towards them, and his scalp went numb as he dialed Yu Mingyuan's number.
"Hello?" The call connected after a few seconds.
"I'm at the Ma Gang warehouse on Third Street in Tianhong Port. I've got both the people and goods under control." Su Tianyu spoke bluntly. "We can't leave now, General Manager Yu. It's up to you whether or not to come and get us!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Tianyu untied his belt and wrapped it around his knife and right wrist, tightly binding it before gritting his teeth and shouting, "There's no use in having many people. We're on the first floor, so whoever comes in first, we'll chop them up! We came together with twelve people, so we'll either walk out together or die together! If we make it through this, the Ma Gang will definitely be confused when they see you in the future."
