Chapter 5 Thug in Suit
The Su Family's Big Courtyard.
Tiannan and Tianyu rushed into the main room and met with the family in the back hall.
In the crowded corridor, Su family children gathered together, with Su Tianbei being chased into the room and questioned by his siblings.
Su Tiannan pushed past the crowd and entered the back hall. He looked at his younger brother, who was covered in blood, with torn clothes and bruises all over his face. Su Miaomiao was helping him treat his wounds.
"What happened?" Su Tiannyu frowned and asked.
Su Tianbei, with a swollen and bruised face and a bleeding knife wound, did not respond to Su Tiannyu's question.
"I'm asking you a question. What happened?" Su Tiannan asked sternly, arms crossed.
"I went to find Lu Feng's men, but they were prepared, and I couldn't get the upper hand." Su Tianbei wiped the blood off his nose with his wrist and replied, bowing his head.
Su Tiannyu looked at his injured younger brother, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
Su Tiannan's blood boiled with anger. He suppressed his negative emotions and turned to the Su family children, asking, "Did Mom find out?"
"No, she went out in the morning to see Dad's friend," Su Miaomiao replied.
"Don't just stand around here. Go do what you need to do, and don't tell Mom about this," Su Tiannan ordered his family.
"Damn it, we can't just let this go after what they did to Second Brother!" The Su family children always banded together, and they were emotionally involved when they saw Su Tianbei being beaten like this.
"Do what you need to do!" Su Tiannan shouted his command.
The yelling echoed in the back hall, and everyone saw that Su Tiannan was really angry, so they had to disperse for the time being.
Su Tiannan turned around and said, "Why didn't you discuss it with me first? Who told you to go find Lu Feng?"
"It's obvious!" Su Tianbei stared with his eyes widened and shouted, "If we don't take down Changqing Company this time, they won't just give up. You've been working on this for so long, and you haven't even seen Dad's face. I'm anxious! I checked it out, and one of Lu Feng's men is the mastermind behind the frame-up of the arms smuggling case. If we catch him and make him talk, the case will be solved. But... I didn't expect the people I hired to be useless, and the plan leaked ahead of time."
"You're thinking too simplistically. What does Changqing Company do? It's a century-old organization, and your skills are nothing in their eyes. If you fail this time, and Lu Feng gets angry and comes after Dad, what are you going to do?" Su Tiannan scolded his brother, pointing at him. "You're not calm enough."
"I didn't succeed in the surprise attack, I didn't even shoot, and Lu Feng doesn't know it was me. The person I arranged to do it has also left," Su Tianbei replied through gritted teeth. "I didn't cause any trouble for our family."
Su Tiannan had originally intended to scold him some more, but upon seeing his brother covered in blood, he ultimately held back and said, "You can't go out anymore. You don't need to worry about the rest. Tianyu and I have already figured out a solution."
"What solution?" Su Tianbei was a straightforward young man from the north, and he did it all because he cared about his father. When he heard that his older brother and Tianyu had come up with a plan, he immediately asked.
"You should rest first," Su Tiannan replied, and then gave Tianyu a signal, and the two of them left the room together.
In fact, just now, Su Tianyu had felt more negative emotions than anyone else when he saw his blood-soaked elder brother. The two of them had a great relationship since they were young, and many of their emotions were kept inside.
—---
In the courtyard of the Su family, Su Tiannan frowned and gritted his teeth as he said, "Damn it, I can't swallow this anger. I'm going to the city later..."
"Big brother, we can start preparing for the negotiation." Su Tianyu interrupted, "Let's invite the Bai, Liu, and Kong families and talk to that guy named Lu Feng together."
Su Tiannan was taken aback, "We just finished talking with those three families. Isn't it a bit rushed to invite Lu Feng now? I don't think the timing is right."
"Second brother has already taken action. Lu Feng must be feeling uneasy as well. If we delay any further, our situation will become even more difficult." Su Tianyu said solemnly, "Let's start the negotiation now."
"What if those three families change their minds at the last minute?" Su Tiannan asked.
"Let's see how it goes. I have a plan." Su Tianyu replied decisively.
After some consideration, Su Tiannan said, "Tell me your plan."
"This is what we can do..." Su Tianyu whispered and discussed with his elder brother.
About an hour later, Su Tiannan called Lu Feng, "Are you free? Let's talk about the land transfer."
"Sure, you can come to my warehouse. I'll be waiting for you." Lu Feng lazily replied.
------
3:30 pm.
Dozens of cars were parked outside the Langtong warehouse of the Changqing company in the Zhanan district of Dragon City. Su Tiannan, Su Tianyu, and the people from the Bai, Liu, and Kong families were all present.
They gathered together, and Liu's second son straightened his clothes and asked Su Tiannan in a low voice, "Do you have confidence?"
"I will negotiate later," Su Tiannan replied expressionlessly, "Just default on your own position."
"If it's advantageous, we will support the Su family." Bai Hongbo spoke up, implying that if the negotiation went well, he would align himself with the Su family. But if it went south, they would distance themselves immediately.
Kong Zhenghui glanced at Old Liu and Bai Hongbo but remained silent.
"Are all the people here?" Su Tianyu asked the three.
Bai Hongbo glanced roughly and replied, "The workers are all in the cars at the intersection."
Su Tianyu nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Let's go." Su Tiannan led the way and took the first step toward the warehouse.
At the entrance, the entourage of each household did not follow inside and only waited beside the vehicles. After all, it was the territory of Changqing Company. If dozens of people entered together, it would be considered impolite.
The structure of the Changqing Company's warehouse was similar to that of the Su family's, with rubbish piled up in the courtyard. Although it was classified, it still looked messy. Workers' vehicles were freely passing through the courtyard, and the stench from the garbage pile could radiate for two or three kilometers.
In the end, they were still at the bottom of society, and the life of the workers in this industry was not easy. Many of them contracted diseases.
Su Tiannan, Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo, Liu Lao Er, and Kong Zhenghui followed the courtyard for less than five minutes and arrived at the entrance of the main building of the warehouse.
Lu Feng did not come out to greet them. The only one waiting for them was an inconspicuous stable boy. He nodded at Su Tiannan and pointed upstairs, "Brother Feng is on the third floor."
Su Tiannan nodded and led the group to follow the stable boy upstairs.
About five minutes later, they arrived at the manager's office on the third floor. Lu Feng was drinking tea and was slightly surprised to see Bai Hongbo, Liu Lao Er, and Kong Zhenghui coming together.
"Hehe, everyone came together," Lu Feng joked.
"Sooner or later, we have to talk. Let's just say it all at once," Kong Zhenghui, who had been silent, said first. The meaning of his words was on Su Tiannan's side.
Lu Feng slowly nodded and pointed to the sofa, "Have a seat."
In addition to Lu Feng, there were also three or four small leaders of Changqing Company, who were sitting and chatting beside the table at the entrance of the lounge.
After Su Tiannan sat down, he straightforwardly said to Lu Feng, "Mr. Lu, please let the others leave. I have something to talk to you about in private."
Lu Feng was stunned, "What is it? You still need to talk alone?"
"The matter from the police station," Su Tiannan replied expressionlessly.
Lu Feng held the teacup and lazily instructed the small leaders in the room, "You guys can go out and talk."
This was the headquarters of Changqing Company, and Su Tiannan obviously came with the intention of reconciliation, so the small leaders did not say much and got up to leave the room.
The door closed, and Su Tianyu sat down carelessly on the chair to the left of Lu Feng. The latter frowned and glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"Let's talk. What does everyone want to discuss?" Lu Feng ignored the leaders of the four families, poured tea for himself, and drank it leisurely. His attitude was easygoing, and his tone was unhurried.
As soon as the words fell, the people from the Bai, Liu, and Kong families all looked toward Su Tiannan.
Su Tiannan paused for a moment, frowned, and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "In the Jianghu, if you have a big fist, you can beat others up. If you have a small fist, you will get beaten up. Our families don't have enough ability, so if we get beaten up, we can only accept it."
"That's right," Lu Feng nodded in agreement with a smile.
"President Lu, we've earned some money from the Dirty Gang in the past few years. When we came just now, we discussed and decided to pool together 800,000 yuan to offer incense to your Changqing Company. Apart from the incense money, can we take 5% of the interest every month from our four families' income and give it to the Changqing Company? Is that feasible?" Su Tiannan spoke frankly.
The economic system of Dragon City was dependent on the European Union, and the main currency used there was the Euro. The purchasing power of one Euro was equivalent to about 6 RMB before the New Era, and this was due to the fact that in recent years, the European Union had been expanding its infrastructure and increasing its currency circulation several times, which had diluted the value of the Euro. Otherwise, the Euro currency was still very strong. At the beginning of the New Era, it had an exchange rate of 1 to 10.
In other words, the 800,000 yuan pooled by the four families was equivalent to nearly 5 million yuan in cash before the New Era era. For those engaged in the bottom-level industry, this was definitely a huge sum of money that they had saved bit by bit with their blood and sweat.
After listening to Su Tiannan's words, Lu Feng turned his head to look at him and asked, "Do you mean you won't pay the protection money?"
"President Lu, we all rely on this business to make a living. If we pay the protection money, we will starve to death," Kong Zhenghui interjected, with a clear attitude. "Your Changqing Company is big and powerful, and we have also recognized our own position. Can you talk to Boss Li and leave us a way out?"
"Heh heh." Lu Feng put down his teacup, crossed his legs, and asked back, "Do you think it's feasible?"
"Killing someone won't solve the problem, President Lu!" Su Tianyu suddenly spoke up.
Lu Feng frowned and looked at him, "Who are you?"
"My name is Su Tianyu, and I'm Tiannan's cousin." Su Tianyu adjusted his glasses and replied with a smile on his face.
"Do you have any manners? Is it your turn to speak here?" Lu Feng lifted the teapot and ignored Tianyu. He just whispered, "You still haven't understood the key to this matter! Protection money is a bottom line interest, and if you don't pay, it won't work."
Su Tiannan wanted to speak after hearing this, but Su Tianyu preempted him, saying, "President Lu, do you have to exterminate us completely?"
"Bang!"
Lu Feng slammed the teapot heavily onto the table, his polite and kind demeanor disappearing without a trace. He glared coldly at Su Tiannan and said, "You guys still haven't had enough? Your father went in, your brother got at least three or four cuts, why haven't you woken up yet?! Damn it, if it weren't for orders from above, I wouldn't just take your territory, I'd even take away the utensils you use to eat!"
Su Tiannan's anger flared up when he heard Lu Feng mention his brother.
"I'm telling you, you don't have to think about banding together to handle this," Lu Feng pointed at the group of people and said slowly and sternly, "Whoever takes the lead, I'll make their old man the main offender and let them eat peanuts."
"Crack!"
Just then, Su Tianyu, who had been sitting next to Lu Feng, suddenly grabbed an ashtray the size of a child's head from the table. His smile and sunny disposition disappeared completely, replaced by obstinacy and ferocity.
"Bang!"
Su Tianyu held the ashtray in his right hand and without saying a word, smashed it hard on Lu Feng's head.
Lu Feng's body leaned forward and his eyes went blank.
Su Tianyu grabbed Lu Feng's collar with his left hand and continued to wield the ashtray with his right, fiercely striking Lu Feng's head six or seven times in a row.
Lu Feng was physically fit and was a renowned fighter in the Changqing Company. If it was a normal brawl, he would not have been helpless. But Su Tianyu's sudden attack caught him off guard. Just seconds ago, Su Tianyu had been speaking with a smile, but suddenly he turned violent and attacked. Lu Feng was dazed after being struck only twice.
The other four people at the coffee table were dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment.
After being hit by the ashtray six or seven times, Lu Feng leaned forward and lay on the table, blood flowing from the back of his head, and his body spasming.
Su Tianyu did not stop after throwing the ashtray. He picked up a fruit knife from the table, held Lu Feng's head with his left hand, and skillfully reversed the knife handle with his right hand. He didn't make a sound, but his eyes were filled with ferocity as he stabbed down.
"Splurt!"
The tip of the knife fell directly through Lu Feng's right ear, nailing his head to the solid wood table. Blood sprayed and stained the coffee table and Su Tianyu's left cheek.
Su Tiannan looked at his younger brother in disbelief, his face turning pale. He immediately stood up and shouted, "Tianyu!"
Su Tianyu drew his knife and looked up at the four people, speaking softly, "This is too damn arrogant. If it were in the Chinese ghetto thirty years ago, he wouldn't even know how many times he would have died."
Liu the second was the first to react, standing up and roaring, "Are you crazy? Why did you hurt Lu Feng?"
Su Tianyu put down his knife, removed his blood-stained glasses, and bent down to sit on the sofa. He took out a flawless white glasses cloth from his pocket and wiped the blood from his face and glasses while saying softly, "It's obvious, we can't come to an agreement."
"If you touch Lu Feng, how can we come to an agreement? You're too reckless!" Liu the second pointed at Su Tianyu, cursing, his mouth twitching. He then turned to Su Tiannan and said, "This won't work. You stay here and talk. I'm leaving."
Bai Hongbo also stood up immediately upon hearing the words, saying, "Su Tiannan, why did you bring a naive kid to handle this matter? I'm telling you, if my dad can't get out of this, I won't let you go!"
Kong Zhenghui, who had been silent all along, glanced at Su Tianyu and still had a surprised look in his eyes, but he didn't rush to express his stance.
Liu the second and Bai Hongbo turned to leave, clearly not wanting to stay here for even a minute.
Su Tiannan looked at his younger brother and reached out to stop the two of them, saying, "You can't leave. We came here together, and we have to face this together."
"Are you crazy? My dad is still inside. I won't stand with you!" Bai Hongbo reached out to push Su Tiannan.
Su Tiannan lifted his clothes to reveal the handgun he obtained from Tianbei, saying, "If you leave now, I'll shoot Lu Feng and turn myself into the police station."
"We were involved in smuggling together, and we entered Changqing Company's cargo yard together. If you tell others that only I was the one who touched Lu Feng, no one will believe you," Su Tianyu put on his glasses, which had been polished to a shine. He smiled and spoke.
Everyone was confused.
At the same time, Su Tianyu slowly stood up and walked to the window.
Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he meant.
Su Tianyu reached out and opened the window, looked out at the courtyard, and suddenly shouted out in a mournful voice, "Come in! Lu Feng has made his move, and we can't get out!"
Outside the courtyard, after a brief silence, all the people waiting at the gate of the courtyard raised their heads and looked inside.
Su Tianyu shouted again, "They are using knives, we can't get out!"
At the gate of the courtyard, a strong man from the Bai family threw away his cigarette butt, raised his arm, and shouted, "Get your weapons, everyone, and rush into Changqing Company's courtyard!"
As soon as the words fell, more than thirty people outside the courtyard picked up the hidden knives in their retreat cars and rushed into the courtyard. And the leading strong man from the Bai family was still holding a walkie-talkie and shouting, "The boss is in trouble, we need support. Brothers at the intersection, bring your weapons and come over!"
On the second floor, Bai Hongbo looked at Su Tianyu with a puzzled expression and said, "What do you mean?"
Liu the second jumped up and yelled at Bai Hongbo, "Are you stupid? He's setting us up! Can't you see that?"

Tiannan and Tianyu rushed into the main room and met with the family in the back hall.
In the crowded corridor, Su family children gathered together, with Su Tianbei being chased into the room and questioned by his siblings.
Su Tiannan pushed past the crowd and entered the back hall. He looked at his younger brother, who was covered in blood, with torn clothes and bruises all over his face. Su Miaomiao was helping him treat his wounds.

"I'm asking you a question. What happened?" Su Tiannan asked sternly, arms crossed.
"I went to find Lu Feng's men, but they were prepared, and I couldn't get the upper hand." Su Tianbei wiped the blood off his nose with his wrist and replied, bowing his head.

I didn't expect the people I hired to be useless, and the plan leaked ahead of time."
"You're thinking too simplistically. What does Changqing Company do? It's a century-old organization, and your skills are nothing in their eyes. If you fail this time, and Lu Feng gets angry and comes after Dad, what are you going to do?" Su Tiannan scolded his brother, pointing at him. "You're not calm enough."
"I didn't succeed in the surprise attack, I didn't even shoot, and Lu Feng doesn't know it was me. The person I arranged to do it has also left," Su Tianbei replied through gritted teeth. "I didn't cause any trouble for our family."
Su Tiannan had originally intended to scold him some more, but upon seeing his brother covered in blood, he ultimately held back and said, "You can't go out anymore. You don't need to worry about the rest. Tianyu and I have already figured out a solution."
"What solution?" Su Tianbei was a straightforward young man from the north, and he did it all because he cared about his father. When he heard that his older brother and Tianyu had come up with a plan, he immediately asked.
"You should rest first," Su Tiannan replied, and then gave Tianyu a signal, and the two of them left the room together.

Su Tiannan looked at his younger brother and reached out to stop the two of them, saying, "You can't leave. We came here together, and we have to face this together."
"Are you crazy? My dad is still inside. I won't stand with you!" Bai Hongbo reached out to push Su Tiannan.
Su Tiannan lifted his clothes to reveal the handgun he obtained from Tianbei, saying, "If you leave now, I'll shoot Lu Feng and turn myself into the police station."
"We were involved in smuggling together, and we entered Changqing Company's cargo yard together. If you tell others that only I was the one who touched Lu Feng, no one will believe you," Su Tianyu put on his glasses, which had been polished to a shine. He smiled and spoke.
Everyone was confused.
At the same time, Su Tianyu slowly stood up and walked to the window.
Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he meant.
Su Tianyu reached out and opened the window, looked out at the courtyard, and suddenly shouted out in a mournful voice, "Come in! Lu Feng has made his move, and we can't get out!"
Outside the courtyard, after a brief silence, all the people waiting at the gate of the courtyard raised their heads and looked inside.
Su Tianyu shouted again, "They are using knives, we can't get out!"
At the gate of the courtyard, a strong man from the Bai family threw away his cigarette butt, raised his arm, and shouted, "Get your weapons, everyone, and rush into Changqing Company's courtyard!"
As soon as the words fell, more than thirty people outside the courtyard picked up the hidden knives in their retreat cars and rushed into the courtyard. And the leading strong man from the Bai family was still holding a walkie-talkie and shouting, "The boss is in trouble, we need support. Brothers at the intersection, bring your weapons and come over!"
On the second floor, Bai Hongbo looked at Su Tianyu with a puzzled expression and said, "What do you mean?"
Liu the second jumped up and yelled at Bai Hongbo, "Are you stupid? He's setting us up! Can't you see that?"
