Chapter 573 The Behind-the-Scenes Supervisor

I wasn't locked up in that cell for long; I was released the next day.

The reason is simple: Xu Le has returned, but Zhou Liang has run away.

"Zhou Liang isn't dead?" I asked him.

Xu Le said, "He ran too fast, I couldn't catch up. I have to say, his strength was a bit beyond my expectations, but it doesn't matter. Since he's already gone, he can't make any waves."

"All right."

I was a little disappointed that Zhou Liang was not dead. If Zhou Liang had been killed by Xu Le, I wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. But now, as long as Zhou Liang is still alive, it's not safe for me to stay in the central town.

Who knows if Zhou Liang will launch a sneak attack and kill everyone in the central town at night?

Given his crazy personality, he's perfectly capable of doing it.

More likely, he might blow up the entire central town.

Xu Le asked, "You're relatively familiar with him, where do you think he'll go?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Actually, I'm not very close to him. In fact, we're enemies. Do you think he would tell me such important information?"

Xu Le frowned. "That is a problem, but it doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, he basically won't dare to come back. We don't need to worry about him now. Let's take care of the central town first. Do you have any ideas?"

I looked at Xu Le and said, "The central town only needs one person."

Xu Le asked with a smile, "Why?"

I said, "Now that Zhou Liang is gone, only Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian are left. And I have a grudge against Ye Qian and Ye Cheng. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Le said, "So you want Xu Sanshui to take over, and as for the other two, get rid of them all?"

I nodded and said, "More or less."

Xu Le said, "But you have to understand one thing: once a person gains power, their ambition will also swell. If Xu Sanshui really controls the power of Central Town alone, do you think he can manage the entire Central Town well? What if he suddenly decides to do something that will be remembered for all time and starts to expand outwards? What will you do then?"

"He shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

Xu Le shook his head: "Never underestimate anyone. Some people don't show off at first, but that doesn't mean they lack strength. They may just be biding their time, waiting for an opportunity to unleash their power. Xu Sanshui may be such a person. Even if you feel comfortable entrusting power to him, I'm not so sure."

I looked at Xu Le and said, "So what do you plan to do?"

Xu Le said, "It's very simple. On the surface, just do as you say and let Xu Sanshui control the whole situation. However, you can arrange for someone to supervise him, and then you can take control from behind the scenes. If Xu Sanshui really loses control, it's not too late for you to step in."

I looked at Xu Le with a puzzled expression. "But isn't this the same as the threat you just mentioned? If I'm controlling things from behind the scenes, aren't you afraid that my ego will get inflated?"

Xu Le said, "You won't."

"How do you know I can't? You just said yourself, don't underestimate anyone."

Xu Le said confidently, "I know what kind of person you are. You are suitable for supervision, but you are not suitable for actually managing and controlling a place. So I am not making you the real person in charge, but just making you a behind-the-scenes supervisor. If Xu Sanshui really has a problem, I will reappear to help you solve the problem."

I find it a little hard to believe.

Xu Le said, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

I frowned and thought about it carefully, and then I understood what Xu Le meant.

"So, you want me to become yours?"

Xu Le nodded slightly. "That's right, I do want you to be one of my people, but I won't restrict your freedom. As long as the central town can continue to develop steadily, I won't interfere with you in any way. However, I hope you can inform me of all the news in the central town in a timely manner, so that I can make timely adjustments to the central town and avoid any trouble later."

I don't know whether I should agree or not.

Xu Leti's offer was indeed very tempting.

However, there is still one problem that has not been solved, and that is Zhou Liang.

If Zhou Liang were already dead, I would have no problem agreeing to this, but Zhou Liang is not dead yet!

I said, "I can agree to your conditions, but on the condition that Zhou Liang must die."

Xu Le said, "No problem. I will find Zhou Liang and kill him. This guy is a threat to me, and I won't let him live any longer."

I said, "I hope you can do it."

Xu Le said, "Actually, Zhou Liang's matter can be dealt with slowly. On the contrary, what about the central town now? Shouldn't you get rid of Ye Qian and his brother? Otherwise, how can the plan be implemented?"

I frowned and said, "I also want to get rid of them, but their defenses are very good, and their men are completely obedient to them and basically won't listen to anyone else. If I want to kill the two of them, I have to kill all the people around them."

Xu Le said nonchalantly, "Then kill them all. Anyway, Central Town doesn't lack these people. Perfect, there won't be any threat after we kill them all."

I frowned and asked, "But it's difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Xu Le said, "If it's difficult, then think of a solution. Now that Zhou Liang is no longer a threat, you should be able to handle them if they come. Use your brain and think of a way. I'm leaving now, going to sleep."

Watching Xu Le leave my room, I felt a little helpless, but I had no other choice now.

Eliminating Ye Qian and his brother, along with their men, is the only way for Xu Sanshui to rise to power.

Xu Sanshui is Xu Xin's father. I don't know his character yet, but judging from his previous concern for his brothers, he should be trustworthy.

"Looks like I need to have a serious talk with him about this. Sigh, how can we take down Ye Qian and his brother in one fell swoop?"

I stood at my room window, looking out at the town center.

A bitter feeling welled up inside me.

It really is true that fortunes change every thirty years.

Zhou Liang had originally held considerable power in the central town, but everything changed when Xu Le arrived. He fled in disarray, and his original power was revoked.

It seems that Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian are currently thinking about how to eliminate each other.

If that's the case, we have to act first and not delay. We should go find Xu Sanshui now to discuss this matter.
