Fu Cheng'an's shout caused an uproar among the people below, all demanding that Su Mu step down.
To be honest, as an outsider, I found it quite amusing to see the division and noise in Jiangbei. It's amazing that such a small place with only about a hundred people could produce such a situation.
It's unbelievable.
Su Mu looked up at Fu Cheng'an standing in the car and asked, "You want me to step down?"
Fu Cheng'an, unable to hear Su Mu's question amidst the noise, became enraged and roared, "Quiet down, all of you!"
His voice was very loud, and when he shouted, many people quieted down.
Fu Cheng'an asked, "Su Mu, what did you just say?"
Su Mu said, "I'm saying, you want me to step down, don't you?"
The back-and-forth conversation between the two attracted everyone's attention, and the originally noisy situation improved. Gradually, the noise quieted down, and everyone was curious about what kind of interesting things the two could come up with.
I stood to the side, arms crossed, quietly watching the scene unfold before me.
Fu Chengan said, "Yes, I think you are not qualified to manage Jiangbei at all! Look at what Jiangbei has become after you took over! How many people have died! And you even offended someone that none of us can afford to offend. You are simply driving us to the brink of destruction. How can someone like you win the hearts of the people!"
Su Mu's expression remained unchanged as he said, "So, does that mean you can win people's hearts?"
"Hmph!" Fu Chengan did not answer directly, but instead snorted coldly.
Su Mu said, "Fu Cheng'an, if you say you can win people's hearts and think you can manage Jiangbei well, then fine, I'll hand over my seat to you right now and let you take over the whole of Jiangbei. Let me see how well you can manage it!"
Fu Chengan said, "At least I did better than you! At least I didn't offend Biyuan!"
Su Mu said, "I think I've made myself clear. Our situation with Biyuan is because someone interfered back then, which is why we're at odds. And even if we do cooperate with Biyuan, judging from the future, Biyuan and we will still end up on opposite sides."
"Besides, even if we hadn't met Biyuan, we would have met again in Jiajiang Biyuan and Jiangbei sooner or later, and we would still be adversaries. Fu Cheng'an, if you think you are better than me and more capable of managing Jiangbei, I said I can give up this position. You want it, right? Come on."
Fu Cheng'an angrily retorted, "Su Mu! Don't try to provoke me! Do you think I don't know you're done with this and want to dump this mess on someone else!"
Su Mu sneered, "Weren't you just excited about seizing the opportunity to oust him? Why are you spouting nonsense now? Are you too scared, or were you just talking big from the start?"
"You!" Fu Chengan looked furious.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ''!" Su Mu glared and said, "Fu Cheng'an, listen to me carefully. If you just dislike me and want to take this opportunity to cause trouble, you can come to my house alone, and I can have a little fuss with you. But if you want to play with the lives of more than a hundred people in Jiangbei, I'll be the first to kill you!"
I saw that Fu Cheng'an's face was covered in sweat; clearly, he was panicking.
Looking at the crowd in Jiangbei, the way they looked at Fu Cheng'an was completely different now.
It can be said that Fu Chengan's group has completely collapsed at this moment!
One problem has been solved, but there's still Wu Zhenzhou left.
Ignoring the speechless Fu Cheng'an, Su Mu glanced at Wu Zhenzhou standing in the crowd below and said, "Wu Zhenzhou, you come out here!"
Wu Zhenzhou did not step forward, but when Su Mu called his name, the people around Wu Zhenzhou did take a few steps back, naturally revealing his figure.
Wu Zhenzhou had a bitter smile on his face. Before Su Mu could speak, he said, "I just want to leave. I don't think I did anything wrong."
Su Mu nodded and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, but do you think you can leave? You should at least have a brain. Given our current situation with Biyuan, do you think Biyuan will let us go?"
Su Mu didn't say it explicitly because there were many things that were inconvenient to say in front of so many people.
Wu Zhenzhou said, "Can't we just surrender?"
Su Mu said, “Surrender? We’ll all die. If we leave, how will we survive? Can you guarantee that every one of us more than a hundred will survive after we get out? Don’t forget, there are still zombies outside! Many of the people in Jiangbei have never been outside before. Is it really appropriate to send them out to face zombies without any preparation?”
"What you're doing isn't for their own good; it's harming everyone!"
Wu Zhenzhou said, "But with Biyuan in Jiangbei, where do we have any way out?"
Su Mu smiled, "Why is there no way out? I can tell you that I have reached a cooperation agreement with Dr. Lu to fight against Biyuan. I think you all know Dr. Lu, right? Many of you went to see Dr. Lu for treatment before."
I stood there stunned, not expecting this guy to mention me.
And regarding the cooperation? When did I ever agree to that?
"Your words are not enough; we want to see Dr. Lu!" someone shouted.
Su Mu seemed to have anticipated this, so he turned to look at me.
I promised to help him resolve the troubles in Jiangbei, and naturally I had to keep my word. So I went up to the platform and stood beside Su Mu.
Su Mu said, "He is Dr. Lu. Some of you have already met him, right?"
Because some of them had visited the school for medical treatment, some of them recognized me, so they didn't suspect anything.
Su Mu seized the opportunity to continue, "Dr. Lu has already reached an agreement with me to cooperate. One Jiangbei might not be a match for Biyuan, but what about two? Or three? I don't think Biyuan is that powerful. So please rest assured, Jiangbei is safe now, and as for Biyuan, we will destroy it sooner or later!"
I didn't know what to say, so I could only sigh inwardly.
Su Mu's actions completely tied me to Jiangbei's boat, and by force at that!
...
Time flies.
Around 11:30 p.m.
As dusk fell, almost everyone in Jiangbei had gone to bed and rested, with only the field team members patrolling.
Su Mu's words during the day stabilized Jiangbei, and I have completed my mission. Now it's time to leave.
Our group, along with Du Xu's men and Zhang Zhihao's body, left Jiangbei overnight and headed to Chen Yefei's Southeast Residential Area.
Perhaps news of our departure from Jiangbei will reach Biyuan through the mole, but it doesn't matter now. The mole must already know about our cooperative relationship with Jiangbei.
Since we can't hide it anymore, let's not hide it and try to mislead them for a while.
