Chu Yu said, "Regarding Biyuan's sneak attack on Jiangbei, you overlooked the most crucial thing."
I frowned. "What is it?"
Chu Yu said, "It's what Fei Lichao told you."
I was stunned. I thought about what Fei Lichao had told me carefully, but it was a bit blurry. Now, after listening to Chu Yu's analysis, my mind was a complete mess, and I had no idea how to think about it.
A zombie was approaching from outside the car.
Chu Yu then said, "Zombies are coming."
Bang!
As soon as she finished speaking, the zombie that had walked over slumped against the car door, which startled me.
I opened the car door, got out, killed the zombie, and then got back into the car, saying, "You can continue."
Chu Yu said, "Fei Lichao told you what happened when he was resisting Biyuan, which I think you have probably overlooked."
"You mean the horde of zombies that suddenly appeared?" I asked.
Chu Yu shook his head, "No, it's an attack by siege."
"Ambush..." I paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully. Indeed, Fei Lichao had told me about the siege. He hadn't been out long when he was ambushed by people from Biyuan. He didn't describe the incident in detail, as the large horde of zombies that appeared later had shocked him.
Chu Yu looked out the car window and said, "The siege is actually quite easy to explain. It was because an insider informed the people at Biyuan through some means, which is why Fei Lichao was attacked."
I said, "Please explain again, I don't quite understand."
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Alright, then I'll explain in detail. Think about it. Back then, in Jiangbei, it was very difficult to break the stalemate under Biyuan's attack, and the situation must have been very chaotic. So, in order to break the stalemate, Fei Lichao made a decision to go out of Jiangbei alone to fight a guerrilla war and gradually defeat Biyuan's forces."
I nodded; Fei Lichao did indeed say that.
"Then the situation is quite clear. Fei Lichao is an outsider to Jiangbei, someone who only appeared after the kidnapping. If the mole in Jiangbei doesn't know Fei Lichao, then the mole certainly wouldn't pay attention to Fei Lichao sneaking out alone, let alone know that Fei Lichao is going to fight as a guerrilla."
"But what if this mole knows Fei Lichao? And has a grudge against Fei Lichao? Wouldn't this matter become clear? The mole has been watching Fei Lichao, and after he went out, the mole notified the people at Biyuan outside. That's why the people at Biyuan reacted so quickly and began to surround and attack Fei Lichao not long after he left."
"Do you understand my explanation?" Chu Yu asked me.
I nodded slightly. "I understand."
Chu Yu made it very clear: the mole is targeting us precisely because he knows us and our situation. If the mole were from Jiangbei, we might not have encountered this situation.
Thinking about it this way, from the kidnapping to the attack on Fei Lichao, the traitor had been targeting us the whole time.
But is this mole really one of my people?
I thought about the people around me. Fei Lichao and Sister Jing were obviously not the answer. So who else could it be?
Who could possibly know us? Could it be someone from the Southeast Residential Area? But I have no grudge against the Southeast Residential Area.
"Then who is this traitor?" I asked Chu Yu.
Chu Yu shook her head and said decisively, "I don't know."
I:"……"
Du Xu shook his head and smiled wryly, "So after all this talk, you still don't know who this mole is?"
Chu Yu looked at Du Xu and asked, "You know?"
"I..." Du Xu was speechless.
Who exactly is the traitor? That is indeed a big question.
More and more zombies were appearing outside the car. It seemed that we had been attracted here because of the engine noise when we came here earlier. I looked at the situation outside and realized that this was not a place to stay for long.
So I drove away from there and went to another place where there were few zombies.
Du Xu turned to Chu Yu and asked, "You said before that the school wasn't safe. How was it unsafe? How would the people from Biyuan know we were here?"
Chu Yu said, "The people at Biyuan don't know yet, but they'll probably find out soon."
Du Xu didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yu said, "Well, I can't tell you that."
Du Xu said helplessly, "Can you please stop judging people with prejudice? You've been criticizing me ever since. I did take you in, so can you please stop treating me like this?"
Chu Yu blinked at Du Xu without saying much, but then asked me a strange question.
Can I trust him?
"Uh." I paused, turned to look at Du Xu, and asked, "Why can't I trust him? We have a relationship of mutual trust, so why don't you trust him at all?"
Chu Yu said, "I trust you more. As long as you feel I can trust him, I will trust him. Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient for us to have him around in the following conversation."
Is it inconvenient to have Du Xu present for the following conversation? What are we going to talk about next?
Du Xu looked at me helplessly and said, "Lu Xiaonan, we've already worked together once. I'm mainly here to rely on you this time. Do you think I'm trustworthy?"
I looked at him and said, "I think Du Xu is trustworthy."
"You're a brother!" Du Xu patted my shoulder happily, then turned to look at Chu Yu and said with a little pride, "Now you don't have to keep an eye on me anymore."
Chu Yu looked at me, sighed, and then looked at Du Xu and said, "Alright, since Lu Xiaonan believes you, I'll reluctantly believe you too."
"What kind of talk is that! Don't force yourself, okay?"
"Alright, I won't force you then. I'll just keep my word."
"..."
I burst out laughing while watching from the side.
I said, "Alright, alright, Chu Yu, it's okay. I believe Du Xu won't harm us. You can trust him."
Chu Yu's gaze lingered on Du Xu for a moment before she spoke, "Alright, alright, then I'll believe you. But what I'm about to say might upset you a little. I hope you won't mind, and don't act impulsively or get angry with me. Otherwise, I won't say it."
Du Xu glanced at me and said, "Okay, I promise you, I won't interrupt whatever you say from now on, okay?"
Chu Yu said, "You said it, you can't go back on your word! Let's pinky swear!"
Hook up...
Du Xu was speechless once again. Looking at Chu Yu's outstretched little finger, he could only extend his own little finger and make a pinky promise with her.
Watching this scene, I couldn't help but find it a little funny. I never expected the wise Chu Yu to have this side to her. Well, after all, she's still just a high school student.
“Alright, now that we’ve pinky sworn, you can’t interrupt,” Chu Yu said. “Actually, what I want to talk about next is the question of who the mole is.”
Upon hearing this, Du Xu and I became very attentive.
