Chapter 53: Igniting Tianhong Port
In Zha'nan District, Yu Mingyuan, who had just parted ways with Tang Baiqing and Xu Hu, sat alone in his car, frowning as he looked at the phone he had just hung up.
What to do?
Yu Mingyuan looked at his phone and picked up his cigarette case.
At the same time, Xu Hu sat in an SUV, frowning as he said to Tang Baiqing: "It's not that I want to frame him, but if we can't show our dominance, they won't choose you. Why is Yu Mingyuan hesitating? Because the Su, Bai, and Kong families are all companies under the Sanitation Management Council. His father is cultivating his own people and building connections. That's why Yu Mingyuan is making money with these three families, do you understand?"
Tang Baiqing remained silent.
"Listen to me, I'm not wrong."
As the two were talking, Xu Hu's phone suddenly rang: "Hello?"
"Big Brother, the dirty gang people have rushed into the cargo area and trapped the goods and people."
"What? Where's Little Two?!" Xu Hu asked loudly, his face changing dramatically.
"Second Brother is trapped inside the building..."
"Damn it, don't let them escape, understand? I'm coming back now!" Xu Hu said before hanging up the phone.
......
Inside the main building of the Third Street warehouse.
Bai Hongbo led people to block the stairs to the second floor, fearing the enemy might climb up and rush in. Meanwhile, Su Tianyu, Su Tianbei, Kong Zhenghui, Zhang Hao, and others were holding weapons, guarding the doors and windows.
Just as everyone had taken their positions inside the room, the main door of the building was kicked open, and the crowded dock gang brothers outside, wielding knives and iron rods, were about to rush into the room en masse.
"Go fuck your mother!"
Su Tianbei picked up a solid wooden chair, raised it above his upper body, and charged towards the door with bloodshot eyes, using the chair legs to block knives head-on and push people out.
On the left and right sides, Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui, with knives wrapped around their right hands, stared with bulging eyes and hacked mechanically at those outside the door.
At the doorway, blood splattered and shouts of curses shook the heavens.
Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui had lost count of how many times they had hacked outwards, only feeling sticky liquid all over their faces, necks, and chests.
Although the doorway was narrow, the opponents weren't completely unable to fight back. So as Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui swung their arms, they were also scratched by the weapons in the opponents' hands. But this was no longer important. At this point, whoever stepped back and fell into the crowd would be done for.
Outside several windows of the living room, countless dock gang brothers were also smashing glass, trying to crawl in from outside, while Zhang Hao and others were blocking the windows, engaging in knife fights with them.
If you were observing from outside at this moment, the scene would be quite shocking. The entire exterior of the main warehouse building was almost completely filled with people. Some were climbing up the rain shelter, some were rushing onto the window sills, and at least forty or fifty people were crowded at the main entrance of the building.
After half a minute of bloody fighting, at least four or five dock gang brothers had been cut down in front of the main door, and more than a dozen were injured.
"Come on! Rush in, whoever steps back is a son of a bitch!!!" Su Tianbei shouted with bloodshot eyes as he pushed outwards with the chair.
On the second floor inside, Bai Hongbo had already been cut down at the top of the stairs, the steel helmet on his head shattered. More than a dozen people who had crawled in from the second floor were beating their way down.
At the doorway, the dock gang people were being heavily beaten by Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui. After five or six people fell in succession, the crowd behind also dispersed, panting, and staring into the room.
"Damn it, just over ten people and they think they can turn the tables? Rush in for me!" The leading burly man outside shouted again.
Wei Xiangzuo glanced at him and stepped forward, shouting: "Everyone, stand back!"
The seventy or eighty people outside heard this and made way. Wei Xiangzuo quickly stepped forward, walking alone towards the entrance.
When Su Tianbei saw that the area directly in front of the door was clear and only Wei Xiangzuo was approaching, he swung the chair towards the other's head.
Wei Xiangzuo, expressionless, dodged the incoming chair to the side, grabbed the chair leg with his hand, and swung his right leg in a small motion.
"Thud!"
With a dull sound, Su Tianbei's right knee cap was in unbearable pain.
Wei Xiangzuo stood outside the room, with the chair blocking his head and body. His right hand gripped the chair leg, and with an extremely simple movement, he hooked the back of Su Tianbei's ankle with his foot.
"Thump!"
With just this move, Su Tianbei fell flat on his back.
"Swoosh!"
Kong Zhenghui swung his knife over.
Seeing the knife, Wei Xiangzuo didn't dodge at all, but took a big step forward, closing the distance between them. He raised his elbow to block Kong Zhenghui's knife-wielding arm and landed a left punch on his ribs with a thud.
"Tap tap!"
Kong Zhenghui stepped back twice, already clearing the doorway.
Wei Xiangzuo stepped into the room and turned his head to see that Su Tianyu, who had been standing at the door just now, had already grabbed Xu Er.
"Chop!"
Wei Xiangzuo stepped aside and shouted to those outside.
"Whoosh!"
The people outside rushed into the room en masse, swinging their knives to chop.
"Don't fucking move!" Su Tianyu shouted, holding a knife to Xu Er's neck. "Whoever comes closer, I'll stab him to death!"
As he spoke, Su Tianbei, Kong Zhenghui, Bai Hongbo, and the others all gathered around. The brothers huddled together, only able to move near the stairs.
Xu Er, pressed in the middle, shouted at the top of his lungs: "You little bastards, if you can get out today, I'll take your surname! Fuck your mother, if you really dare to kill me, I'll accept it. Brothers, chop them for me!"
The dock gang people looked at each other for a moment, then instantly charged forward, while Su Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, Kong Zhenghui, and the others also huddled together, swinging their weapons outward.
......
At a street corner less than a kilometer away from the Third Street warehouse compound, a police car was parked.
Wang Daolin sat in the passenger seat, frowning as he said: "Damn it, these dock gang people have gone crazy, they could do anything. Put on your bulletproof vests."
"Brother Wang, is it worth doing this?" the police officer behind asked. "If we really go in, it's not just about offending the dock gang. We'll offend the customs, maritime police, and local police all at once!"
Wang Daolin looked down at his watch: "Stop talking, put on the vests."
Hearing this, everyone directly put on their bulletproof vests, donned steel helmets, and checked their firearms.
......
In the living room of the main warehouse building, it was now a complete mess. Blood and smashed furniture were mixed all over the floor, with at least seven or eight people lying on the ground, unable to stand up. This included Zhang Hao, Big Bai, and others.
In the corner of the wall, Xu Er's neck had already been cut open by the blade, with blood gushing down.
Su Tianyu gripped the knife and shouted through gritted teeth at Wei Xiangzuo: "If your people move one more step, I'll kill him!"
Wei Xiangzuo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Su Tianyu: "What are you shouting for? Do you dare to kill someone?!"
"Slash!"
Su Tianyu made another deep cut on Xu Er's neck with the knife, his expression unchanged as he replied: "Let's play a game. You take one step forward, I press the knife down once. Let's see if you can cut me down first, or if this son of a bitch dies first!"
"You little bastard, come on, I'll play with you!!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Hu rushed in with Tang Baiqing.
As soon as Su Tianyu saw Tang Baiqing, his heart sank halfway. With both of them here, it meant Yu Mingyuan had no intention of coming...
Seeing no one but Wei Xiangzuo coming straight toward him, Su Tianbei raised the chair and smashed it toward his head.
Wei Xiangzuo remained expressionless, dodged the incoming chair, and grabbed its leg with his hand. He swung his right leg slightly.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and Su Tianbei's lateral knee was in excruciating pain.
Standing outside, Wei Xiangzuo had the chair blocking between his head and the front of his body. He pinched the chair leg with his right hand, and with a simple move, he hooked Su Tianbei's ankle with the back of his foot.
"Boom!"
With just that move, Su Tianbei fell to the ground, facing up.
"Swish!"
Kong Zhenghui's knife came down.
Wei Xiangzuo saw that he couldn't dodge the knife, so he took a bold step forward, closing the distance between them. He used his elbow to block Kong Zhenghui's swinging arm and then delivered a solid punch to his ribs.
"Step back!" Kong Zhenghui retreated two steps, allowing Wei Xiangzuo to enter the house. Wei Xiangzuo turned around and saw that Su Tianyu, who had been standing at the door, had already dragged Xu Er inside.
"Chop him!" Wei Xiangzuo shouted to the people outside, and they rushed in with their machetes raised.
"Don't move!" Su Tianyu pointed his knife at Xu Er's neck and shouted, "Anyone who comes close, I'll stab him to death!"
Immediately, Su Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, Kong Zhenghui, and others surrounded Xu Er, with their backs against the wall near the stairs. They could only move around in that limited space.
Xu Er was held in the middle by the group, shouting, "If you can get out of here today, I'll take your last name! You dare to mess with me like this? Brothers, chop him up!"
Without exchanging words, the members of the gang rushed forward. Su Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, Kong Zhenghui, and others formed a protective circle around themselves, wielding their weapons.
—---
Less than a kilometer away from the warehouse on Third Street, a police car was parked at the corner.
Wang Daolin sat in the passenger seat, frowning and saying, "Damn it, these gangsters have gone crazy. They'll do anything. Put on your bulletproof vests."
"Wang, do we really have to do this?" a police officer in the back asked. "If we go in there, it's not just a matter of offending the gangsters. We'll also be offending the customs, the maritime police, and the local police. We'll be making enemies all around."
Wang Daolin glanced at his watch and said, "Stop talking and put on your vests."
The officers put on their bulletproof vests and helmets and checked their weapons.
—---
In the main hall of the warehouse, chaos reigned supreme. Blood mixed with broken furniture littered the ground, and at least seven or eight men lay motionless, including Zhang Hao and Big Bai.
In a corner of the room, the blade of a machete had sliced open Xu Er's neck, and blood poured out in torrents.
Su Tianyu gripped his machete tightly, his teeth clenched as he shouted at Wei Xiangzuo, "If any of your men move again, I'll kill him!"
Wei Xiangzuo stood with his hands behind his back, watching Su Tianyu. "What are you shouting about? Do you dare to kill someone?"
"Splash!"
Su Tianyu once again cut deeply into Xu Er's neck, his expression unchanged as he retorted, "Let's play a game. You take one step forward, and I'll press the blade down. Let's see who falls first, you or this piece of shit!"
"Come on, you little bastard! I'll play with you!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Hu, accompanied by Tang Baiqing, charged into the room.
Su Tianyu's heart sank when he saw Tang Baiqing; if he and Xu Hu were here, that meant Yu Mingyuan had no intention of joining the fight...
