(Two updates today. I'm a bit conflicted lately. There's a problem with the outline, and the plot is a bit off, so I'm thinking about how to continue writing.)
As evening approached, Fei Lichao returned to school.
I called Jingjie and Fei Lichao into the dormitory and told them what had happened.
After listening, Fei Lichao's expression turned serious, and he said, "You were too impulsive."
I closed my eyes, feeling somewhat helpless, and said, "I know that I was wrong in this matter, and there's no way to turn things around now. Since we've already taken action, the other party must understand that we're already involved, and it will be very difficult for us to extricate ourselves."
Jingjie stood to the side, deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.
Fei Lichao looked at me and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
I shook my head. "I don't have a solution for now, but we definitely can't stay at school anymore. I want to move people out. Is your secret base ready yet?"
Fei Lichao shook his head, "How could it be finished so quickly! I've only just begun, okay?"
With a grave expression, I said, "Then there's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time."
"Not necessarily," Sister Jing said at this moment.
Fei Lichao and I looked towards the realm.
"Sister Jing, do you have a solution?"
Sister Jing shook her head and said, "I don't have a solution, but I've thought of a possibility. Let me tell you about it, and you can see if it's right."
"What possibility?" Fei Lichao asked.
Jingjie said, "Xiaonan, you attacked them directly after overhearing their conversation, so I think they must now believe we are from Jiangbei. Didn't you say they think the school is Jiangbei's secret base?"
"Then what?"
Sister Jing said, "Then, since some of them escaped back, the other party will definitely only have one thought about you: that you are from Jiangbei. In this way, the conflict between us and Biyuan has been completely transferred to Jiangbei. Anyway, there was already a conflict between Jiangbei and Biyuan, so it has nothing to do with us."
I was taken aback, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed true.
I had previously pretended to be from Jiangbei.
"Sister Jing, you're so smart."
Sister Jing smiled and said, "What's so smart about me? Now that we've figured this out, things will be much easier."
"What do we do next?" Fei Lichao asked.
I glanced at Sister Jing and said, "Things will definitely be much easier from now on."
"Damn it, you two, just tell me what to do next!" Fei Lichao said impatiently.
I laughed and said, "The rest is very simple. Once we figure this out, we just need to leave the school, and we don't need to worry about anything else. We can leave it all to Jiangbei."
"But where the hell are we going?"
...
Later that evening, around 8 p.m., it was completely dark.
Zhang Zhihao arrived at the school with Sun Zichen and Wang Hao. Because I had told Zhang Zhihao before that we were moving out, the three of them came in three cars. Apart from the people, all the supplies in the school had to be removed.
When Zhang Zhihao arrived, he immediately asked me with a smile, "Brother Lu, are you really planning to come to Jiangbei with us?"
I gave a wry smile. "This place has already been targeted by Biyuan. If we stay here any longer, wouldn't we just be asking for trouble?"
Zhang Zhihao laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Once you get to Jiangbei, these problems will all be solved."
Song Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, said unhappily, "Ugh, I didn't expect that I would have to move out after only half a day here, before I could even get comfortable in the bed. It's such a hassle. Brother, can you help me move it?"
Wang Hao was taken aback. He looked at his cousin Song Xiaoxiao and said with a wry smile, "Alright. Captain, Dr. Lu, I'll go help move things first."
"Um."
I said, "Alright, let's not stand here anymore, let's move our things and try to leave tonight."
I definitely have to leave tonight; the longer I stay here, the more dangerous it becomes.
Our group started moving things. We basically moved all the guns, as well as some important supplies, such as food, medicine, and medical supplies.
As for all the other unimportant things, we left them all here.
Perhaps he will come back someday.
Around 9:30 pm.
Everything in the school has been moved out, except for our group, who haven't boarded the bus yet.
I stood on the rooftop, staring at the hazy moonlight in the sky, unsure how to describe my feelings.
My life has been full of ups and downs.
The main problem is that I was too stupid. If I hadn't attacked the people from Biyuan today, I might have been able to stay at school for a few more days and discuss our next steps with Zhang Zhihao.
But it's too late to say anything now.
We must leave tonight.
Knock knock knock.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the rooftop corridor. I turned my head and saw Wang Hao coming up to the rooftop with a flashlight.
Wang Hao looked at me and said, "I heard from my sister that you wanted to see me, Dr. Lu. Is there something you need?"
I looked at him and said, "Yes, something is wrong, and it's a very important thing."
Wang Hao nodded and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
"Okay." I nodded. "After we get on the bus, you'll be driving the last van that's carrying supplies, right?"
Wang Hao said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
I said, "Later, I hope you can guide Fei Lichao to Chen Yefei's place."
When Wang Hao heard the name Chen Yefei, his expression suddenly changed, and he even took a step back.
"How...how do you know Chen Yefei?!"
I said, "Didn't Zhang Zhihao tell you? Last time when we went to find Sister Jing's sister, we ran into Chen Yefei's group. But there's something Zhang Zhihao doesn't know. I've now reached a cooperative agreement with Chen Yefei. Chen Yefei should have discussed the details of the cooperation with you, right?"
Wang Hao swallowed hard. "Yes, I know, but why? Aren't you going to Jiangbei?"
I asked, "Do you think Jiangbei is safe right now?"
Wang Hao was taken aback and shook his head.
I said, “Yes, even you feel it’s not safe, so why should I send my people to Jiangbei? Chen Yefei told me some things about you. Back then, when Chen Yefei wanted to cooperate with Jiangbei, you tried your best to stop him. So, I hope you can take them to Chen Yefei’s place for refuge. Your cousin Song Xiaoxiao can go there too.”
"But... what about you?" Wang Hao asked.
I said, "I'm going to Jiangbei. Sister Jing will come with me later. The others will leave with Fei Lichao."
"But I don't understand. If you want to seek refuge, why do you want to go to Jiangbei?"
I raised an eyebrow and said, "No matter what, Zhang Zhihao is my friend, you understand?"
Wang Hao sighed helplessly.
