Chapter 188: The Counterattack Begins

At Tianhong Port, in the conference room.

Xue Ping'an stood at the door with veins bulging on his forehead. After a full three to four seconds, he walked out quickly to call home.

Two minutes later, Xue Ping'an returned to the conference room with bloodshot eyes and said to Xu Hu: "Come out, I need to tell you something!"

Xu Hu was stunned for a moment before standing up to follow him out: "What's wrong?!"

Xue Ping'an gritted his teeth and replied hoarsely: "I have to leave!"

"Leave?! What do you mean?" Xu Hu was confused.

"Something's happened at home - my son was at the workshop and was caught by the Yu family's people," Xue Ping'an replied with clenched fists. "They went to Bokan!"

Xu Hu stared at him in disbelief, and after a long while demanded: "Why at this critical moment did you have no precautions at all on your side?? You...!"

Hearing these somewhat reproachful words, Xue Ping'an also instantly exploded: "Damn it, how many people does my family have? Over a hundred people inside and out, with over twenty workshops! Yu Jinrong came back suddenly - how could we prepare in advance? Could we stop all workshops for your little matter? Cancel all orders? Don't you fucking understand - if it wasn't my son today, it would be someone else from my family!"

Xu Hu was speechless.

"My people definitely can't move now, otherwise my son will definitely come to harm," Xue Ping'an's heart was in chaos as he looked down at his watch. "I'm going back now - handle things here yourselves!"

"If you leave now, what will the people inside think?!"

"Then should I fucking ignore my own son?!" Xue Ping'an demanded.

Xu Hu forced himself to adjust his emotions and said softly: "Old Xue, you can't leave now - if you leave, the people inside will have many thoughts!"

"Tell them my family factory has an emergency - I'll also call Li Hongze to explain the situation, tell them not to panic!" After replying, Xue Ping'an pointed at Xu Hu's chest and said: "But you need to understand! You're the one in charge! You can't always think about relying on our forces to solve problems! If I didn't have these dozen or so desperadoes today, with all your brothers under you, Xu Hu, don't you have anyone who dares to carry a knife?"

Xu Hu stared at him blankly, feeling extremely irritated.

"I'm leaving!" Xue Ping'an called to his brothers in the corridor and turned to walk outside.

After the group reached the courtyard and got in their cars, Xue Ping'an sent Su Tianyu a text message: "You little bastard, if you dare touch my son! I'll quit everything else and use twenty percent of profits every year just to hire Big Circle Boys to deal with you! I don't believe you'll never leave your homes again!"

......

In the Yu family villa.

Su Tianyu looked at Xue Ping'an's text message with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, then looked up to tell Yu Jinrong: "Xu Hu's most powerful right hand has been tied up!"

"Then what?" Yu Jinrong asked softly while holding his teacup.

"Let me make a call first," Su Tianyu paused before picking up a second phone and dialing a number: "Where are you now?"

......

Outside the dock gang conference room, Xu Hu stood at the door adjusting his breathing and calming his emotions before pushing the door open to enter.

Everyone turned to look at him as Xu Hu said softly: "Old Xue has an urgent matter at home, needs to leave first!"

Li Hongze was confused: "Leaving now?"

"Yes, there's fighting at the border in Xinaluo tonight - several of his workshops could be in trouble, he went back to handle it," Xu Hu replied flatly. "But it's fine, he'll stay in contact by phone."

Everyone was somewhat doubtful but didn't ask further.

Xu Hu bent down to sit and looked at everyone as he continued: "Originally I thought to have Xue family's people deal with Yu Jinrong - that way the Police Bureau's pressure wouldn't fall too much on us, but now his family has trouble, so we still have to do this job ourselves."

Hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help asking: "So we've all sat here for two or three hours, did nothing but drink tea?"

Hearing this, Li Hongze glared at Lu Feng.

"Fine, I'll stop talking then," Lu Feng took out his cigarette pack and lowered his head to fiddle with his phone.

Xu Hu turned to look at Li Hongze: "Let's handle this matter ourselves then!"

Li Hongze furrowed his brows without immediately responding.

"Beep beep!"

A text message came through - Li Hongze's phone rang once. He picked it up to look - it was a message from Xue Ping'an.

"Something came up at home, I'm leaving first! Help Old Xu - if he can't hold on, we've wasted both people and money."

Li Hongze read the message without immediately replying.

Longkou District hall master Baocheng smoked while saying fiercely: "Things have come to this point - who cares about the Police Bureau anymore?! Just have people below draw lots, throw in two million - I don't believe no one will dare move against Yu Jinrong!"

"Sounds good!" Zhang Zhengfang picked up his teacup.

......

In the Yu family villa.

After finishing his call, Su Tianyu turned to Yu Jinrong saying: "People have arrived!"

"Wait a bit more, wait for Xu Hu to move first?" Yu Jinrong asked.

"No, once our people arrive, he won't have a chance to move first!" Su Tianyu immediately waved his hand and replied: "Defense is over, I'm going on the attack!"

"Are you sure?!" Yu Mingyuan demanded excitedly.

"Have the high-level connections come," Su Tianyu replied before immediately dialing Wei Xiangzuo's number.

After about ten seconds, Wei Xiangzuo sat on a boat holding his phone asking: "How to do it?!"

"Tonight I'll help you take Zha'nan!" Su Tianyu stood up replying. "You show your cards first, don't worry about the rest!"

"What about Changqing's side?!"

"I said, don't worry about it!" Su Tianyu didn't give a clear reply, only insisting: "You show your cards first, create chaos in Zha'nan!"

"Good!" Wei Xiangzuo replied decisively and hung up directly.

Su Tianyu's eyes were bright as he said very methodically to Yu Mingyuan: "Call Chi Jun, have Zhao Weihu step forward to pressure the Xue family!"

"You caught Xue Ping'an's son and still want to pressure them?"

"The Xue family is unwilling in their hearts now - if you don't pressure them, in the future they'll keep sending Big Circle Boys into the city to snipe you every few days, you can't defend against that!" Su Tianyu replied softly. "But they do business in the Xinaluo region, they definitely won't dare offend Chi Jun! With Zhao Weihu stepping forward, the Xue family will be completely tied down!"

Yu Jinrong slowly nodded: "I'll have the garrison troops contact Zhao Weihu!"

Su Tianyu picked up his teacup somewhat excitedly and continued thinking about what came next.

......

Twenty minutes later.

Just as Xu Hu's side was about to move, Baocheng suddenly received a call and looked up tensely saying: "Movement! Old Dong from Fugang brought over twenty cars of people to Zha'nan!"

Everyone was stunned hearing this.

"Ring ring!"

Following this, a phone rang and Xu Hu immediately answered: "Hello, Old Dong!"

"Xu Hu, I hear Old Gu's death might not be so simple!" Fugang District's gang leader said directly.

"What do you mean?!"

"Old Wei is coming back tonight, and I'm also very curious about Old Gu's death," Old Dong replied very straightforwardly. "I brought some people - tonight I'm entering Zha'nan to protect Old Wei!! Before things are clear, whoever touches Old Wei is touching me, Dong Zheng!"

Hearing this, Xu Hu instantly realized in his heart that he had lost his chance to attack, because the other side was going to move against him!!

Why did Wei Xiangzuo often go to Fugang District alone before? And not bring anyone?!

Because Old Dong was his first card to show after the attack began!

On the sea, Wei Xiangzuo stood on the boat and said to his friend driving the fishing boat: "Back to port now!!"

Outside Dragon City, a young man nearly 1.9 meters tall held his phone and said simple-mindedly: "Brother Dou... I... I won't go with you, I'll go with Little Brother Yu!"
