We returned to the car unharmed and left, picking up Fei Lichao, who was lying in ambush nearby, along the way.
After they were some distance away, Du Xu said, "Well, do you believe me now?"
"Um."
Du Xu said, "I don't know what kind of grudge you have against Zhou Liang, but since he has disappeared and his fate is unknown, don't think too much about it. Let things take their course. Focus on the present and survival is the most important thing."
I interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to say anything more about these things."
Du Xu said, "Alright, shall we continue our cooperation?"
"Let's continue. We'll go back today and make arrangements for your people then. Remember, if they disobey, cause trouble, or die, it's none of my business."
Du Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my people won't cause trouble for no reason. If they really bring it on themselves, I won't blame you. However, I would be very grateful if you could lend a hand."
I said, "Keep your people in check, and you won't need my help later."
Du Xu said, "You really don't back down an inch."
I said, "It's a matter of principle."
Du Xu sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, whatever you say. When I get there, with you guys around, I don't think anything will happen to them. Once I've finished dealing with things in Wutong City, I'll come find you. If things go smoothly, it'll be done in half a month; if it goes slowly, it'll take about a month."
I nodded and asked, "What if you die?"
Du Xu chuckled a few times, shook his head, and said, "There's no need to curse me like that."
I scoffed, "There's always something that might happen."
Du Xu's smile faded, his gaze fixed intently ahead, and he said calmly, "If, if I really die, I will send my men to seek refuge with you. I hope you won't refuse them. Although we've only known each other for less than two days, I believe you're not a bad person."
I said, "Sun Shichao said the same thing, but he's dead."
Du Xu said, "I killed him, what does it have to do with you?"
After chatting for a few minutes, we returned.
The round trip took only about forty minutes.
Jingjie and Zhang Zhihao had already met up at the hotel, and Du Xu drove us there.
He then returned to his villa complex to bring some people over.
We waited for them in the hotel lobby.
Fei Lichao and Sun Zichen kept watch outside, smoking and chatting. Fei Lichao didn't want to stay inside mainly because he didn't want to listen to Fang Lin's nonsense.
I sat on the sofa in the lobby.
Zhang Zhihao sat on another single sofa and said, "Brother Lu, are you sure you want to take his men back? Wouldn't that be a bit too much trouble?"
I said, "I promised him, so of course I have to keep my word. As for what kind of person he is, that's none of my business. If he poses a threat to me, I don't mind killing him."
Fang Lin smiled and said, "You're such a contradiction. If you're afraid of them, why did you agree? Cooperation is always temporary. Just because you're helping them doesn't mean they'll help you in the future. You might even end up getting yourself into a mess that you can't wash off."
Zhang Zhihao said, "I think Fang Lin is right. Brother Lu, you should be wary of them to avoid trouble later."
I said, "I understand what you're saying, and I know what I'm doing."
Jingjie stood to the side lost in thought, not saying a word from the beginning until now, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Zhang Zhihao said, "Brother Lu, why don't you come back with me? Jiangbei Residential Area is safer than the school, no matter what."
I smiled and said, "Zhang Zhihao, you don't need to talk about this. I won't go to Jiangbei Community, so you don't need to try to persuade me."
Zhang Zhihao asked in confusion, "But I don't understand, what is it about Jiangbei Residential Area that you dislike so much that makes you so unwilling to go there?"
Fang Lin said, "Is it because you're too withdrawn and afraid of crowds?"
I ignored Fang Lin and said, "Zhang Zhihao, I'm asking you, who is the real person in charge of your Jiangbei residential area? Don't tell me about Li Dacheng, I know it's not him."
Zhang Zhihao's expression didn't change after hearing my question. "Brother Lu, I thought you wouldn't ask this question."
I narrowed my eyes and said, "Since you knew, why did you lie to me before?"
Zhang Zhihao said, "Brother Lu, I had no choice but to say that before. You are always outsiders to Jiangbei Community. Even if I knew you, I couldn't reveal all the secrets of the community for your sake."
I didn't say anything and let him continue.
"As for the real controller of Jiangbei Community, his name is Su Mu, the field team leader I told you about who died back then. Actually, he didn't die. He just hid himself for some reason and then used his methods to integrate the entire Jiangbei Community. So, not many people in Jiangbei Community know that he exists."
“However, Brother Lu, before I came to see you, Su Mu talked to me and said that as long as you join Jiangbei Community, you can directly become a member of the committee. Currently, there are only five members on our committee, including myself. If you join, you will be the sixth.”
To be honest, I don't like places like this.
However, it must be said that such a place is more suitable for survival.
The hierarchy was strict, and the order was impeccable.
"Committee? What kind of committee?" Sister Jing, who had been silent until now, asked.
Zhang Zhihao said, "Managers are also rulers."
I said, "I'm not interested."
Zhang Zhihao smiled and said, "Brother Lu, I know that you don't like Jiangbei Community for some reasons, but you can't deny that we support more than a hundred people. This is something that even Pu Weichao probably couldn't do."
"You don't need to say anything more, I won't go, I just won't go."
Zhang Zhihao said, "Don't jump to conclusions so soon, Brother Lu. It's not my place to discuss whether you're willing or not. After we get back, Su Mu will come to see you in a couple of days. I hope you won't turn him away."
"Whatever," I said.
Zhang Zhihao smiled and didn't say anything more.
Ten minutes later, Du Xu arrived in his pickup truck, carrying about ten people.
Du Xu said to me, "You can take this pickup truck. I know you have two more vehicles, making a total of three vehicles. That should be enough for a dozen or so people."
I glanced at the ten people Du Xu had brought. An elderly couple, seven teenagers (four men and three women), and a disabled person who had lost a leg.
"Mm." I nodded.
Du Xu said, "I've already explained the specifics to them. They'll definitely listen to you, don't worry."
"good."
Du Xu reached out and shook my hand, saying, "They're all yours now."
Don't worry.
