Chapter 206: The Outcome of Victory and Defeat

At noon, in a Chinese restaurant beside Dragon City Police Bureau, Su Tianyu and others sat in a private room watching Wang Daolin make a phone call.

"Yes, yes, I've submitted my materials, entering school in June, studying for six months, should be back by year end..." Wang Daolin said smiling into the phone. "Oh my, just good luck. Alright alright, then I'll trouble you to put in a word with the school. Good, I'll treat you to dinner later."

After chatting for about six or seven minutes, Wang Daolin hung up and looked up to tell Su Tianyu: "Come on, big nephew, let's start eating."

"Uncle Wang, where are you going to study?" Bai Hongbo asked grinning.

Wang Daolin raised his wine glass and replied softly: "Zone One, Senior Police Personnel Research Class, going in June, returning at year end."

"This is great news!" Su Tianyu also raised his glass. "Coming back from the Senior Research Class, you'll definitely be promoted, right? Must congratulate you!"

Wang Daolin didn't modestly deny it, only smiled saying: "I don't know which department I'll go to when I return, but promotion is definite. Let's not say more - everything is in the wine."

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Uncle Wang, with your promotion, would it be too much if I opened a massage parlor next to the Police Bureau?" Big Bai asked.

"Haha!"

Everyone exchanged smiles and drained their glasses.

......

In the previous several incidents, Wang Daolin had always coordinated with Su Tianyu, upholding the principle of making no promises and not directly contacting Yu Jinrong, helping the Yu family team several times within his controllable scope. And it was precisely these times that accumulated many political achievements for him.

In the final Tianhong Port incident, Wang Daolin had completely sided with the Yu family, but this was also with Director Lin's nodding approval. This way, Old Wang bore minimal risk but received maximum returns.

One maritime goods seizure case plus being responsible for arresting Li Hongze had already accumulated enough glory for Wang Daolin, so promotion was within expectations.

Su Tianyu admired Wang Daolin in his heart because this man was very calm, knew his own capabilities, and could definitely resist temptation until the final moment. Previously when facing the Yu family's overtures, he hadn't rushed to step forward but kept observing, fully interpreting what were called system survival rules.

Everyone sat in the private room drinking moderately but not excessively, because Wang Daolin still had matters to handle in the afternoon.

After the meal ended, Su Tianyu proposed meeting Wei Xiangzuo, and Wang Daolin directly nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later, Wang Daolin took everyone to the Police Bureau's criminal detention center, saying softly: "Go in and find Old Lu - he'll arrange for you to see Wei Xiangzuo. I have things to do, so won't go in."

"Good!" Su Tianyu nodded, giving Bai Hongbo and Kong Zhenghui a look - the two immediately understood and got out of the car.

In the car.

"What is it, big nephew?" Wang Daolin asked with a smile.

"My boss told me to ask if you need money for working things upward?" Su Tianyu replied looking at him sneakily. "If needed, name an amount - my boss will reimburse this money."

"Haha!" Wang Daolin pointed at Su Tianyu cursing: "Want to buy my life already?"

"Don't say that - this is purely out of gratitude," Su Tianyu waved his hand.

"Not needed for now, because I won't know which department I'll be transferred to until after finishing my studies," Wang Daolin replied softly. "Wait a bit more - when I return, I'll tell you how much money is needed for working upward."

Su Tianyu immediately cupped his hands: "Then I wish my Uncle Wang early rise to high power in the Police Bureau!"

Wang Daolin reached out to pat Su Tianyu's shoulder: "Big nephew, let me be honest - your brain would be wasted not entering the system. Remember my words - no matter how well you do on the streets, it's still just running the rivers and lakes. You're still young - need to find a way to put on the kasaya."

Su Tianyu hadn't expected Wang Daolin to say such words to him, so his expression also became serious as he slowly nodded: "I understand - when you're studying, I might be going to study too."

"Right, this is the correct path," Wang Daolin nodded slowly. "Alright, you all go then - I'm leaving."

"Good."

After their exchange, Su Tianyu pushed open the door and got out, watching Wang Daolin leave.

Kong Zhenghui stood with hands behind his back looking at the car's rear, saying softly to Su Tianyu: "With his promotion, we can be more relaxed at the dock in the future - good thing."

"Victory and defeat determine all - Li Xing fled, Uncle Wang got promoted - these are the results," Su Tianyu sighed before turning to say: "Let's go see our Brother Wei."

With that, the three walked into the detention center together.

......

When Su Tianyu's three arrived at the detention center, Wei Xiangzuo was about to be taken to the hospital by officers there, because his injuries were quite serious - only due to the major impact of his crimes was he detained here while injured. Otherwise following normal procedures, he should have been under guard at the Police Bureau hospital.

Su Tianyu used Wang Daolin's connections to finally see Wei Xiangzuo in the interrogation room.

Both sides sat down as Su Tianyu said softly to Wei Xiangzuo: "We looked into it - your case can't be worked for now, have to wait for the wind to die down."

"Mm," Wei Xiangzuo slowly nodded. "I understand."

"I came to have you make a list, spend the remaining money," Su Tianyu said softly. "I can run this or Little Feng can run it - up to you."

"Hehe," Wei Xiangzuo replied with a laugh. "You're avoiding suspicion?"

"Of course! The relationships are all yours - if I run them and get familiar, later people might know me and not know you anymore - how would that work?" Su Tianyu replied openly.

"Fuck," Wei Xiangzuo cursed speechlessly. "I'm not that petty - huddle together for warmth, sincerity is most important. Little Feng is a bit rash doing things - you better handle this."

"Alright," Su Tianyu nodded.

Wei Xiangzuo turned his head to look at Big Bai, saying softly: "Hey, Helmet, give me a cigarette."

Big Bai was stunned: "Please be more respectful in how you address me!"

......

At Zone Three airport, a middle-aged man took four people onto a private plane and sat in the cabin.

"Boss, Zhang Ming on the phone," the secretary reminded holding a phone.

The middle-aged man sat cross-legged in the sofa chair, loosened his collar and took the phone: "Hello, Old Zhang!"

"Chairman, you're arriving this afternoon, right?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"The council of elders side wants to meet with you," Zhang Ming said helplessly. "Still about Wei Xiangzuo's matter."

"Ah," the middle-aged man sighed impatiently. "These people seem like they'll die if they don't express some opinion."
