Chu Yu looked at me seriously and said, "Let's start with the first thing. After meeting you, Su Mu thought you were a capable person, so he wanted you to join Jiangbei. This has been going on for a while, but you have never agreed. So far, you have only reached a cooperative relationship with him."
"Mm." I nodded.
Chu Yu said, "To explain this matter clearly, we need to find out why Su Mu asked you to join Jiangbei. The reason is simple: he wants to use your strength to deal with Biyuan. This makes it clear that the conflict between Jiangbei and Biyuan is very tense, and Su Mu of Jiangbei is not confident that he can defeat Biyuan, so he can only rely on external forces. You are one of them, but you are definitely not the only one."
The wind outside the window suddenly picked up, and the entire conference room darkened considerably, as if it were about to rain.
I frowned and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
Chu Yu shook his head. "I don't know, but judging from his methods, you alone probably aren't enough to give him the confidence to defeat Biyuan. Maybe he's contacted people from other teams, maybe not. What I know and speculate about is what you told me. You don't need to think too much about the rest. Even if he has, it doesn't matter."
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Chu Yu continued, "Now that we've figured out the prerequisites, we can talk about your second matter. The second matter is that you realized that the people from Biyuan were monitoring you, so you decisively left the school and split into two groups, one going to Jiangbei and the other going to the Southeast."
I looked at Chu Yu, and there was something off about the tone she used when she spoke about this, so I asked, "Is there something wrong with this?"
"There's a big problem!"
Chu Yu said, "Based on what you've said, Su Mu from Jiangbei is probably a bit cunning and narcissistic. I suspect the second incident was a trap he set for you."
My expression changed. "What do you mean?"
Chu Yu said, "What I mean is that he used the people from Biyuan to force you to make a choice and force you to join Jiangbei."
Du Xu asked curiously, "Really? I don't get the feeling that's how it is?"
Chu Yu said, "That's because you're brainless."
"Hey, you little brat..."
Du Xu was both amused and exasperated by the scolding, so I quickly stopped him and said, "Alright, stop talking and let Chu Yu continue."
Chu Yu smiled slightly, seemingly a little smug, and continued, "Actually, this matter is easy to understand. I'll explain it to you in order and you'll understand. At first, Jiangbei Su Mu didn't know you or that you existed. But at that time, Jiangbei and Biyuan were already irreconcilable enemies, so he continued to seek allies to break through the current situation."
"Then, he met you and learned what kind of person you were from your friend Zhang Zhihao. So he had the idea of having you join Jiangbei. At first, he contacted you, but found that you were not willing to do so. So he was a little unwilling and wanted you to join Jiangbei voluntarily."
"So he had Zhang Zhihao come to the school from Jiangbei every few days to see you, and they even established some kind of cooperative relationship."
I nodded slightly and said, "I know what you're saying, and there's nothing wrong with it."
"The problem is about to emerge, don't worry," Chu Yu said. "Remember the prerequisite I've been mentioning? There has always been a conflict between Biyuan and Jiangbei, even before you appeared."
"And then?" Du Xu asked.
Chu Yu said, "Then, as the leader of Jiangbei, Su Mu suddenly left Jiangbei and came to the school. He also sent one of his generals to the school to see you every few days. Do you think Biyuan would not know about this? Since Biyuan knows, they will definitely send people to monitor you. Once Biyuan does this, Su Mu's plan will be half successful."
My expression changed slightly.
Chu Yu continued, "With Biyuan's people monitoring you all around, and given your suspicious and impulsive nature, you'll definitely make a move when you encounter them. But you'll regret it afterward. Anyone with a brain knows what you'll do next: you'll definitely take your people and leave the school to seek a safer place."
"In Su Mu's calculations, Jiangbei was the safe place for you. However, because of your suspicious nature, you instinctively resisted Jiangbei, so he arranged for people to go to another place. Only you and Lu Jing went to Jiangbei, which disappointed Su Mu. That's why he got angry with you that day and kept trying to persuade you to join Jiangbei, dangling big promises in your face."
I frowned slightly. "So, all of this was Su Mu's scheme?"
Chu Yu nodded. "Based on what you said and Su Mu's behavior, this can indeed be considered a trap he set for you, and one that you can't escape. From the moment he appeared at the school, the people from Biyuan knew about your existence. So, Biyuan monitored you. Su Mu went back and didn't show up again because he was afraid that if he showed up again, the people from Biyuan would directly attack and kill him, so he didn't come back."
I felt a chill run down my spine. If Su Mu had really set up this trap, he had completely exposed the school to Biyuan. If Biyuan wanted to, the school could be destroyed at any time.
Fortunately, I was lucky that time and discovered the people from Biyuan in advance; otherwise, who knows what might have happened if they had continued to monitor them!
"That bastard is really ruthless!"
Chu Yu said, "These are just some small tricks and clever tactics Su Mu used to force you to join Jiangbei; they're not really ruthless."
I smiled wryly. If going to this extent isn't considered ruthless, then what is?
I glanced at Chu Yu and suddenly paused. That's right, Su Mu's methods are indeed not considered big moves or ruthless by Chu Yu. I wonder what would happen if Chu Yu were to devise such a plan.
Looking into my eyes, Chu Yu said, "I know what you're thinking. You're wondering what I would do if it were me. I can tell you this: if it were me, I wouldn't force you to join Jiangbei and then guide Biyuan to contact you. Once you have a conflict with Biyuan and seek help, I would appear to help you and then cooperate with you, and then subtly influence you to join Jiangbei on your own."
I frowned. Chu Yu's words seemed gentle and simple, but they were full of murderous intent. If there was any problem with contact with Biyuan, it would be a complete annihilation!
I shook my head, no longer wanting to think about these nonsensical things, and then asked, "So, what's the third thing? Who exactly is that traitor?"
The problem of the traitor has been troubling Su Mu and me. Su Mu has tried so many methods in Jiangbei but failed to lure out the traitor, which shows that the traitor is very capable.
