The next day, at six o'clock in the morning.
I got out of bed, having spent the entire night without sleep, and was very tired.
Last night, after I went to bed, I kept thinking about the cooperation, trying to find a flaw in it, but I couldn't find one. As a result, I didn't fall asleep until two or three in the morning. Now that I'm awake, I've only slept for three hours.
I am exhausted, but I cannot let my guard down.
Sun Shichao should be coming today.
When I went outside, Fei Lichao was exercising in the living room.
Around 6:30, Sister Jing and Zhang Zhihao also arrived.
The time I arranged to meet Du Xu was 7:30.
The six of us discussed the plan in the room, then Zhang Zhihao and Fang Lin stayed behind while the rest of us set off.
Although the agreed time was 7:30, it would be better to arrive early so we could prepare in advance.
We left the hotel and drove around to another residential area opposite the villa complex. This was also an upscale residential area, so we waited there.
Around seven o'clock, Du Xu arrived.
When Du Xu arrived at our agreed location and saw us, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you guys are here so early!"
Du Xu came alone. When he saw the four of us, he smiled and said, "This is your companion! It's a pleasure to meet you."
Jingjie and Sun Zichen both shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with Du Xu.
I asked, "Around what time will Sun Shichao and the others arrive?"
Du Xu said, "According to the usual pattern, they would arrive around eight or nine o'clock, but it's hard to say. They might arrive at ten o'clock, or even around noon. It depends on them; I can't say for sure."
I don't have any thoughts on this. I'll come later so we can make more preparations.
"Then let's proceed according to the plan we agreed on yesterday. We'll set up an ambush here, and then you can lure Sun Shichao over."
Du Xu said, "No problem, but we need to make this clear: don't hold back. If Sun Shichao isn't dead, we're finished. Also, after this is over, I hope you can take some of my men to Jiajiang. That's the first step we can take."
I squinted. "You didn't mention that yesterday."
Du Xu said, "Even if I didn't tell you, you would know that I was going to do this. If we stay in Wutong City, my team will probably be doomed no matter what. And now I'm going to take action against Zhou Liang's people. Once things happen, they definitely won't let us go. So sending some people away first is a kind of guarantee."
I said, "I can agree to that, but there's one thing you must understand: your people must obey me unconditionally. Otherwise, we'll talk face-to-face."
Du Xu nodded. "Okay, I'll explain it to them. Now that you're here, get ready. I'll go back and prepare now. As soon as that freak Sun Shichao arrives, you guys make your move immediately."
After Du Xu finished speaking, he left.
We began preparing everything around us.
Fei Lichao and Sun Zichen captured several zombies and locked them in a closed room; they would need these zombies later.
We went up to a residential building and observed the situation in the opposite neighborhood from there.
We wait patiently, not in a hurry at all.
I don't know where Zhang Zhihao and Fang Lin are now, but they are definitely lying in ambush nearby. Once things start, we'll need their support.
While waiting, I chatted with Sister Jing for a bit and we talked about Fang Lin.
Upon hearing Fang Lin's words, Fei Lichao immediately retorted, "Is that kid crazy? Does he have to talk about others to feel comfortable?"
I gave a wry smile and turned to Sun Zichen, who knew me better, and asked, "Sun Zichen, Fang Lin is one of your people. Don't you have any feelings for him? You've been putting up with him being so mean all this time?"
Sun Zichen blinked and laughed, "Him? Dr. Lu, you don't need to worry about him. He's just a smart aleck, but he won't do anything outrageous. I haven't had much contact with him, just met him occasionally, so I don't know much about him. Captain Zhang knows him best. If you want to know more about him, you'll have to go find Captain Zhang."
Fei Lichao cursed, "That kid deserves a beating. I'll give him a good beating one day and he won't dare to say anything then."
Sister Jing laughed and said, "All you do is take action."
Fei Lichao snorted.
...
After waiting for about two hours, we saw a pickup truck approaching on the highway in the distance, followed by a sedan.
There were some supplies in the back of the pickup truck, but I couldn't see what they were because they were too far away. However, I could see that the people inside were armed.
A moment later, the two cars arrived at the entrance of the residential area. The residents did not stop them and let them in directly.
I said, "They're here, get ready."
Fei Lichao, Jingjie, and the other two went down to prepare.
I stayed upstairs and used binoculars to keep an eye on the other side of the residential area.
A moment later, a man got out of the pickup truck. His face was covered in burn marks. I knew at a glance that he was Sun Shichao.
Sun Shichao and Du Xu met, shook hands, and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Du Xu didn't rush to bring Sun Shichao over. Instead, he went into a villa with Sun Shichao. No one knows what the two of them were doing inside.
Will Du Xu tell Sun Shichao about my situation?
Could he turn around and conspire with Sun Shichao to frame me?
I stared at the villa; everything was still unknown.
Now all we can do is wait for news from Sun Shichao.
