Du Xu said, "Actually, I don't have much ambition. I just want a stable living environment where everyone around me can live a good life. That's not much ambition, is it?"
I raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not that big, but it would take a lot of ambition to achieve that. Jiangbei and Biyuan are two behemoths that are too big for us. It's not that easy to swallow them up. And to be honest, I really don't want to involve you in this. It's too dangerous."
Du Xu stood up and laughed, "Since that's the case, just treat me as an outsider, an invader, and that'll be fine. Besides, this is something I did willingly, what does it have to do with you? I finally came to Jiajiang to live, not to suffer."
I smiled wryly, not knowing how to refute him, feeling that Du Xu's decision was too impulsive.
The issues between Jiangbei and Biyuan are not so easily resolved; the armed strength and numbers of these two teams are far superior to those of Du Xu's team.
I said, "You should think about this some more, don't make a decision so soon. Besides, the school isn't safe right now, we have to leave."
Du Xu said, "Don't rush. We can't rush leaving. If someone is really monitoring the school, the more anxious we are to leave, the more suspicious the people at Biyuan will become. So this matter can't be rushed."
Can't we be in a hurry?
Ugh, this is so troublesome. I thought Du Xu's matter would be easy to resolve, but it's getting more and more complicated. If Du Xu really wants to get involved, it would be a good thing for me, but is it really good for Du Xu and his group?
Even we don't know anything about Biyuan, and Du Xu has never had any contact with Biyuan, so why is he so confident?
I said, "I'll say it again, I really don't want to involve you in this."
Du Xu said, "Lu Xiaonan, since we're all aiming for a comfortable life, why can't we work together?"
I frowned and said anxiously, "That's not the problem. The problem is that we don't understand Biyuan at all. Jiangbei and Biyuan have been at odds for so long, and even they don't understand the specifics of Biyuan. Is it really appropriate for us to rashly try to deal with them?"
Du Xu said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Did I say we were going to deal with them directly? Do you think I'm stupid to go and deal with them without any preparation? Of course, I'll wait until I've figured out the situation at Biyuan before dealing with them. Lu Xiaonan, I'm offering to help you now. I know you're not stupid; you definitely want me to help you, right?"
I stared at him without saying a word.
Yes, I really wanted him to help me, but out of consideration for our friendship, I didn't want them to get involved in this mess.
Ugh, this is so annoying. When I first came here, I hoped Du Xu could help me, but now that he's actually willing to help me, I'm starting to hesitate again. I really want to slap myself.
I said, "How about we calm down first, think it over carefully, and then decide what to do?"
Du Xu said, "Okay, no problem. I'll think about it here and make some assumptions. You can go find a place yourself."
"..."
Looking at the somewhat arrogant Du Xu, I was speechless.
I turned and left the meeting room, then went straight upstairs to the rooftop of the dormitory building.
Standing on the rooftop, the temperature has dropped a bit these past two days, so the wind blowing up here is actually a little chilly.
I stood with my hands in my pockets, staring downstairs. Du Xu was in the conference room, deep in thought. I had no ideas at all and didn't know what to do.
"Xiaonan, Xiaonan...can you hear me?"
Suddenly, the walkie-talkie hanging on my waist rang.
Judging from the voice, it seems to be Sister Jing.
I picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Sister Jing, I can hear you. What can I do for you?"
Jingjie asked, "Xiaonan, how's the situation on your end? Have Du Xu's men arrived yet?"
I said, "They arrived a while ago; almost all of their twenty-odd people are here."
Jingjie asked, "Have you mentioned Biyuan to them?"
I said, "I've already mentioned it."
Sister Jing asked, "What was their reaction? Did I tell them we needed help? Were they willing to help?"
Upon hearing this question, I was momentarily stunned, opened my mouth, and hesitated.
"Xiaonan, why aren't you saying anything?" Sister Jing asked.
I took a deep breath and said, "Sister Jing, I've talked to Du Xu about this. He's willing to help us deal with Biyuan, but..."
Before I could even speak, Jingjie said, "Really! Are they really willing to help us?"
I said, "Yes, they are indeed willing, but Sister Jing, I'm conflicted. This matter has nothing to do with Du Xu's team. What if Du Xu really helps me, but then something goes wrong with their people? We know how strong Biyuan is. Even with Du Xu's men, it won't be easy to defeat them."
After hearing what I said, Sister Jing remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, Sister Jing spoke again: "Xiaonan, you don't need to think too much about this matter. Du Xu's willingness to help means he has his own plans. Since you've already explained Biyuan's capabilities, his willingness to help means he must have considered this aspect; otherwise, why would he help you?"
I was taken aback and paused for a moment.
That's right! Since Du Xu insisted on helping, it means he must have considered the possibility of casualties!
Jingjie continued, "Xiaonan, you can't overthink these things. Overthinking won't help you with anything. Du Xu is willing to help, so he must have his own motives. Let's accept their help and not worry about what his motives are."
I thought carefully about what Du Xu had just told me, and it was indeed very purposeful. If that's the case, then this matter is a bit complicated.
No matter how complicated it is, there are only two possible outcomes.
Either Biyuan will perish, or we will die.
"Sister Jing, I understand now. Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
Jingjie said, "As long as you can figure it out, that's good. By the way, is it safe for you to stay at the school? Do you want to go somewhere else?"
I said, "There's no rush now. We definitely need to leave, but if we're in such a hurry for the key, the people at Biyuan might get suspicious. Let's wait until Du Xu and I have finished discussing this before we talk about it."
"Okay, then be careful."
"Don't worry, Sister Jing, I know what I'm doing."
