Chapter 55: Retreat

Yu Mingyuan's style of doing things was actually completely unlike his gentle and kind exterior. When his group's interests were not affected, he could be considered a person who could bend and stretch as needed, rational and objective, definitely not hesitating to lower his head when necessary. But once someone seriously infringed on his group's interests and the situation couldn't be salvaged, he could turn on them faster than anyone.

Yu Mingyuan's personality had a strong hidden aspect. Because in the eyes of outsiders, he usually looked very kind, even a bit easy to talk to, so it was easy to give others the wrong impression that he was soft.

Obviously, Tang Baiqing's perception of Yu Mingyuan was like this, so that slap he received left him truly stunned.

......

With the military's intervention, the remaining matters became relatively simple. Although Xu Hu and his people were unwilling, they could only watch as the others took away the people and goods.

After everyone left the warehouse compound, Yu Mingyuan took out 40,000 yuan in cash from the car and handed it directly to Su Tianyu, saying: "Medical expenses, night-time allowance for the brawl, arrange for the people below. If the money isn't enough, call Linda."

Su Tianyu immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Understood."

"I'm going back now, I'll call you tomorrow."

"Alright, Brother Yuan!"

After they exchanged a few words, Yu Mingyuan pulled open the car door and was about to get in, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to ask: "Little Yu, if I hadn't come today, how would you have concluded this?"

"We've known each other for several months, I understand your character. You value loyalty and follow rules. I knew you would definitely come," Su Tianyu replied without hesitation.

"Get lost, speak human words," Yu Mingyuan was a bit curious.

Su Tianyu wiped the blood on his face and insisted: "What I said was human words. I knew you would definitely come."

"I really want to piss in your mouth," Yu Mingyuan didn't believe him at all, but didn't ask further. He bent down and got into the car.

"Drive carefully, boss," Dog Six grinned and said.

Yu Mingyuan didn't respond to him and drove away first. But when he reached the outer street corner, he noticed that Wang Daolin was standing by the police car with several officers, talking in low voices.

Seeing this scene, Yu Mingyuan smiled wryly: "Young man, you did a thorough job."

Less than half a minute later, the car carrying Su Tianyu and the others, along with the military vehicle, also reached the street corner.

The van stopped for a moment. Su Tianyu lowered the window but didn't get out to find Wang Daolin. He just saluted him from afar.

Wang Daolin nodded in response, then bent down to get into the police car wearing a bulletproof vest and uniform: "Let's go, back we go."

After the two groups exchanged greetings from a distance, they each left Tianhong Port.

......

Ten minutes later, on the outskirts of the street corner, the hundred-plus people led by the old men of the Su, Bai, and Kong families saw the convoy driving over.

"They're back!" Bai Hongbo's father finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

"Damn it, if the people didn't come back, I would have fought my way in!" Su Zhengcai, now that the matter was settled, suddenly became animated and shouted very intimidatingly.

Old Bai put his hands behind his back and glanced at Su Zhengcai: "When it comes to showing off, we still have to look to you."

These two old men from the Bai and Su families were quite interesting. They had been in the same military camp during their army days, and their ranks were about the same. Later, when they came to Dragon City, they both engaged in similar businesses. Plus, their personalities were vastly different, so the two families had always been competitive.

If it weren't for the fact that all four families had been falsely accused of arms trafficking earlier and had to band together, and that Bai Hongbo had recently been getting close to the younger generation of the Su family, the two families wouldn't have much interaction normally.

"Bai Dabiao, can I show off more than you? Before going in, you were the one shouting the loudest about reshuffling, but after going in, you were the first to give in!" Su Zhengcai retorted.

"Su Zhengcai, don't let your big boxer shorts mouth say whatever it wants...!" Old Bai shot back.

As the two old men started bickering back and forth, Kong Zhenghui's father found it annoying and immediately interjected: "Stop talking, the people are back."

As they were speaking, two vans stopped, and Su Tianyu and the others got out.

"Everything alright?" Su Zhengcai and the others went over to meet them.

"It's fine, Yu Mingyuan came and settled things," Su Tianyu immediately replied. "You take the goods back, we need to go to the hospital. Big Bai, Zhang Hao, and the others are quite badly injured."

Bai Dabiao had already walked to the van door, but when he looked inside, he couldn't find which one was his son.

Bai Hongbo was covered in blood, his motorcycle helmet still on, looking like a damn future warrior as he lay on the seat, groaning.

"Where's Hongbo?" Bai Dabiao asked the family members.

"I... I'm here, Dad!" Bai Hongbo turned around and raised his hand.

Bai Dabiao glanced at his son and after holding back for a while, asked: "Is everyone alright?"

"...Can handle it!" Bai Hongbo gritted his teeth and sat up to reply.

"Hurry to the hospital then," Bai Dabiao said immediately upon seeing his son's miserable state. "Go to the People's Hospital, quickly!"

Beside them, Su Tianyu said to his Second Uncle and Big Brother: "Take the goods back first, we'll go to the hospital. We'll call when we get there."

"Little Two, are you alright?" Su Tiannan saw that Tianyu was fine, so he asked Tianbei.

"Won't die, it's fine," Su Tianbei waved his hand.

The group chatted by the roadside for less than five minutes before the Su, Bai, and Kong families had already unloaded the goods from the truck brought by the young military officer and loaded them into their own vehicles.

Zhang Hao, Bai Hongbo, and the others were quite seriously injured. After Su Tianyu finished explaining things to his Second Uncle, he immediately got in the car and headed to the hospital.

On the way, Big Bai took off his helmet, his nose bleeding profusely. He used his thickest thumb to plug his nostril and tilted his head back, saying: "Damn, I hope I don't have a brain hemorrhage... Why is it still bleeding?!"

"Quick, see if there are any tissues left in the car, plug it up for him," Su Tianbei called out.

"If you're going to plug something, I'd rather help Miaomiao plug hers," Bai Hongbo replied without missing a beat.

"You fat bastard, I'll fucking kill you!" Su Tianbei cursed.

"...You two still have the energy to joke around, you got off lightly," Kong Zhenghui covered the knife wound on his arm and cursed helplessly.

With these two jokers, Big Bai and Tianbei, the originally depressing atmosphere in the car was eased considerably. Su Tianyu sat at the back of the car supporting Zhang Hao and looked up to urge: "Drive faster!"

Hearing this, Bai Hongbo turned his head and frowned as he examined Su Tianyu's body, his expression extremely complex.

"What are you looking at me for?" Su Tianyu asked.

"I'm just puzzled, we all fought in the same room, why don't you have a scratch on you?" Big Bai was perplexed.

Indeed, in the two cars, including Zhang Hao and the others, a total of seventeen people had participated in the fight, but Su Tianyu alone was the least injured. He had basically no serious knife wounds on his body, only scratches and small cuts, and most of the blood on him was from others.

"Do you know why my family calls him Dog Six?" Su Tianbei asked.

"...I'm a dog too, but I still got beaten up!" Big Bai complained indignantly.

"Are you as sneaky as him?" Kong Zhenghui cursed. "When we were at the door, the three of us were blocking it. As soon as Wei Xiangzuo came in, Tianbei was knocked down, I was kicked away, and only he fucking turned back to take Xu Er hostage. When people came into the room, he leaned against the wall spouting words while we were swinging knives outside. How could he get injured?"

"Dog Six, we're all brothers, you're playing tricks!" Big Bai pointed at Su Tianyu and commented. "My helmet was smashed, and you don't have a scratch. This doesn't add up! Come here, let me touch your little willy, and I'll forgive you."

"Get lost, you getting beaten up has a direct relationship with that steel helmet. Out of seventeen people, only you had a piss pot on your head. Who else would they beat if not you?" Su Tianyu replied incisively.

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed. From this point on, the nickname "Dog Six" was no longer limited to circulation within the Su family. Big Bai, Kong Zhenghui, and the others also realized the essence of this nickname.

......

In the dock gang, after Xu Hu had his brothers sent to the hospital, he sat in the car and said to Tang Baiqing word by word: "From today on, if Yu Mingyuan can move even one piece of goods through Zha'nan District's docks, then I, Xu Hu, have lived all these years in vain!"

Tang Baiqing replied with a dark face: "Strangle him."
