Chapter 60: Bai's Bomber

In the main hall.

Tang Baiqing took a drag on his cigarette and replied: "How could I not be short of money? For that matter last time... Old Yang alone took seventy from me, and that's not counting what I had to give to others. Damn it, for this kind of thing, if you don't give enough money, which official would be willing to take such a risk?"

Xu Hu thought for a moment and was about to walk to the inner room.

"Slap!"

Tang Baiqing grabbed Xu Hu's arm and said in a low voice: "I am short of money, but not to the point where I can't make ends meet. We're friends, but I can't just take your money for nothing, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Hu bent down to sit: "If you need money, just tell me. Thirty or fifty, you can take it anytime. If you need more, I can arrange it too."

"Mm," Tang Baiqing nodded. "I'm just saying, lately everything's been going wrong, damn it. It's frustrating."

Xu Hu paused and moved closer to Tang Baiqing: "As for dealing with Yu Mingyuan, just keep blocking him for now. If his company can't do business, he'll get anxious. As for the money issue, that's not really a problem. There's a batch of goods coming in recently, originally Old Huang was covering their landing. If you're short on cash, I can give him a call and let him cover next time..."

"Alright," Tang Baiqing agreed readily, and lowered his head to discuss further with Xu Hu.

......

Three days later, Saturday afternoon.

Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui, Bai Hongbo, and Su Tianbei, the four F4 of Zha'nan, dressed in floral shirts, floral shorts, wearing slippers, straw hats, and sunglasses, drove together to the Yu family home.

In the Yu family villa, the girls and the two Yu brothers, Mingyuan and Mingsheng, were already prepared, loading barbecue grills, meat racks, various snacks, and tents into the cars.

Su Tianyu got out of the car and asked: "Brother Yuan, need any help?"

"It's almost all loaded, and you guys just arrived," Yu Mingyuan looked down at his watch. "Take the raw food, let's go."

"Alright," Su Tianyu called out to Big Bai upon hearing this: "Go on, Security Department Manager."

"Go fuck yourself!" Big Bai replied politely, then turned to look at Doll and the others, saying: "Oh, why are you all so beautiful today?"

An Qiqi turned back to look at the fashionably dressed F4 and covered her mouth with a smile: "You guys look quite handsome too."

"Alright, stop chattering, hurry up, let's go!" Su Tianbei called out and went into the courtyard to load various fresh foods into the car.

"Let's go, we're off!" An Qiqi shouted excitedly and led a group of girls onto her little red car.

Four cars, more than a dozen people, set off in style.

......

The destination for this camping trip was Guangji Island, which had been incorporated into Dragon City's jurisdiction just two years ago. It was currently still undeveloped, with extremely beautiful scenery, deep forests, and azure waters. Many tourists from various districts who had heard of its reputation would come to stay there for a while.

Guangji Island was about 300 kilometers away from Dragon City's urban area, with an inner harbor in between, so the group needed to take a ferry for some time after driving.

They set off at around 2 PM, and it took some time to reach the ferry port and complete the customs procedures. By the time they actually got on the boat, it was already evening.

The ferry slowly sailed out of the port, with the sky ablaze with the colors of sunset.

An Qiqi stood by the railing of the ferry, quietly gazing at the sunset. She said, somewhat intoxicated: "Our generation is really lucky. Think about what this world was like more than twenty years ago? A vast expanse of white, snow as far as the eye could see, frozen zones everywhere."

Doll was touching up her makeup and replied with a pout: "You environmental studies people are too sentimental, always getting philosophical at the drop of a hat. Who can stand that?"

Su Tianyu, who was flirtatiously looking at An Qiqi admiring the beautiful scenery on the deck, heard their conversation and immediately seized the opportunity to join in: "If you put it that way, then our parents were quite responsible."

An Qiqi turned her head, blinking her big eyes as she looked at him: "What do you mean by that?"

"If our parents hadn't shown restraint and had us twenty years ago, wouldn't we have suffered just the same?" Su Tianyu leaned against the railing and said with a smile: "So it's not that you're lucky, it's just that mom and dad had a plan."

"Hehe, that's true," An Qiqi replied perfunctorily and turned back to look at the sea.

"What's your major?" Su Tianyu asked casually.

"Environmental Earth Science."

"Oh, that's quite good," Su Tianyu replied with a smile. "You can travel the world on public funds in the future."

"It's not that good. Now we pay our own way and can go wherever we want to look around. But once we start working, the unit tells you where to go, and you have to go there. It's not that free at all."

"You don't have to go to a high-intensity functional unit. You can go to a geological survey department, where you'd be on business trips for three to five months at a time, with ample funds and high degree of freedom. You can go wherever you want," Su Tianyu took a sip of his drink. "Then you write various survey reports and send them to the media. You might even earn a lot of extra money."

An Qiqi looked at Su Tianyu with some surprise: "You seem to know quite a bit about our major."

"My knowledge is all mixed up..." Su Tianyu replied shamelessly. "I know a little bit about everything, but I'm not an expert in anything."

"Giggle!" An Qiqi laughed. "Isn't that Big Bai you're describing?"

"Who's calling me? Who's calling me?" Big Bai heard someone mention him and immediately ran over.

"Oh come on, can't you stay away for a while?" Su Tianyu felt very depressed when he saw him running over. Other people had friends who could act as wingmen beside them, but Dog Six had a bomber who couldn't read the situation at all beside him, with no tacit understanding, only thinking about his own blundering.

"Weren't you calling me?" Big Bai asked, feeling wronged.

"Look, a rainbow!!" An Qiqi pointed to the sky. "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"Quick, take a photo for us sisters," Doll handed the camera to Big Bai.

"It doesn't look good with clothes on, does it? Why don't you take them off!" Big Bai suggested, holding the camera.

"Get lost!" Doll spat. "Hurry up!"

Beside them, Su Tianyu leaned against the railing, smiling as he looked at An Qiqi's profile in the sunset and her hair swaying in the sea breeze. He suddenly felt that while working for Yu Mingyuan, it would also be quite beautiful to date his sister.

The sea breeze blew, and the group of young people chatted and laughed on the boat, the atmosphere very joyful.

......

At 7:30 PM, the group arrived at Guangji Island. After a twenty-minute drive, they found the designated campsite nearby.

Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu, and Kong Zhenghui set up the barbecue grill and prepared dinner for everyone in front of the tents.

In the girls' activity area, Doll was changing clothes in her small tent. With the light inside, Doll's graceful silhouette was projected onto the tent fabric, looking quite stirring.

By the woods, Big Bai, who was urinating, turned his head to stare at Doll's tent and said softly to Su Tianbei beside him: "What do you think... if I pretend to be one of Xu Hu's lackeys and break into Doll's tent tonight to have my way with her, making it look like revenge from the dock gang, would that be feasible?"

"You really rack your brains for crime, don't you!" Su Tianbei asked, puzzled. "What kind of thought process is that?"

"Do you think it would work?"

"I think it's criminal!" Su Tianbei nodded.

In the barbecue area, Yu Mingyuan, his forehead beaded with sweat, said in a low voice to Su Tianyu: "Everything's been arranged. It's been moved up, to tonight."

Su Tianyu was stunned to hear this: "Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow?"

"They moved it up," Yu Mingyuan replied.

......

On a beach in the outer sea, more than a dozen people gathered, discussing in low voices.

"It's tonight," the leader said, sitting by the bonfire. "Let's prepare now."
