I went to Du Xu's side, ripped off the blindfold covering his eyes, and then tore off the tape covering his mouth.
When he saw the blinding sunlight, he froze for a long while. After seeing us, he quickly closed his eyes and begged us to go around him: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, please, please..."
We watched him plead for mercy without interrupting, watching with interest as he cried in front of us, a kind of wailing without a single tear.
Once he realized there was no movement around him, he calmed down and looked at us with fear in his eyes.
I looked down at him and said, "Finished crying? Now listen to me. If you want to live, tell me everything you know. I have a recording here. If what you say is different from what that guy in the recording said, I'll cut off your hand, understand?"
The guy nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything I know."
After that, this guy named Wang Ming told us everything he knew. I don't know if he was hiding anything, but at least what he said matched what Wang Yubo said, which shows that Biyuan was indeed a place where three teams lived together.
After I made the threat, Wang Ming said some other random things.
After that, we separated the two people again.
Du Xu thought that it would be better to just kill the two of them. After all, we have asked all the questions we needed to ask and know all the information we needed to know. There is no point in keeping these two alive, so we might as well kill them and be done with it.
However, Chu Yu felt that these two people were useful, so he decided to keep them and lock them up for the time being.
Chu Yu's idea made sense, so we didn't object. Let's keep them locked up for now; maybe we'll need them sometime in the future.
As for now, let's first consider Biyuan's actions.
Chu Yu took my phone to her dorm room, and I didn't stop her. I wanted to go with her to listen to the recording and analyze it, but Chu Yu refused, which left me feeling helpless.
Chu Yu said she wanted to think about it on her own, so I could only talk to Du Xu.
However, we didn't know what to talk about.
We left the cafeteria.
Du Xu asked, "What that guy inside said was pretty much the same as what this Wang Ming said?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, that's about right. Since the two people's statements are not much different, it means that Biyuan is indeed currently operating with three teams working together."
Du Xu smiled and said, "Isn't this very advantageous for us? As long as we cause infighting among their three teams, we can reap the benefits."
I shook my head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. When Wang Yubo was talking about Biyuan, he kept mentioning that the three teams had reached an agreement to unite against external forces. I think the three parties must have had their reasons. After all, their strengths are about the same, and they all live in the same place. It's not easy to make them fight amongst themselves."
Du Xu said, "Although it's not easy, it's also an opportunity."
I said, "It depends on what Chu Yu thinks. If she listens to the recording, she'll definitely be able to come up with a way to deal with Biyuan. Actually, what I'm most afraid of right now is that the three teams in Biyuan will cooperate because of external factors. Li Shujiang's side alone is stronger than Jiangbei's. If all three of them come together, who in the entire Jiajiang can stop them?"
Du Xu pondered for a moment, "Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. Since these three groups are so powerful, why don't they just join forces and take over the entire Jiajiang? Anyway, with their strength, Jiangbei definitely can't stop them. Once Jiangbei is destroyed, which team in Jiajiang can stop them?"
I said, "Perhaps they each have their own thoughts. Apart from Li Shujiang and Han Weijun's teams, the other third-party teams in Biyuan don't care about invasion at all. I guess they just want to live a quiet life and don't want to suffer too much."
"As for Li Shujiang and Han Weijun, Li Shujiang is determined to destroy Jiangbei. I estimate that personal reasons account for most of this, after all, Li Shujiang and Su Mu had a grudge. As for Han Weijun, I have never seen him or had any contact with him, so I don't know anything about him. However, since he can stand on equal footing with Li Shujiang in Biyuan, he must be a man with some skills."
Our discussion didn't yield any results.
After wandering around and chatting for a while, we returned to the dormitory building.
Just then, Chu Yu came over and called us over.
We arrived at Chu Yu's dormitory.
Chu Yu pulled the two of us into the bathroom to discuss things, while Huang Yiyang was left outside to keep watch for us, lest the traitor come and eavesdrop on our conversation.
Once the bathroom door was closed, the three of us leaned against the bathroom wall.
I asked, "So, have you come to any conclusions?"
Chu Yu glanced at me, handed me the phone, and said, "The conclusion is that it is very difficult to completely eliminate Biyuan. With our current numbers, even with Jiangbei, we still can't do it."
"Is there absolutely no chance? Can't we let them fight amongst themselves?" Du Xu asked, unwilling to give up.
Chu Yu rolled her eyes at him without hesitation, "Are you stupid? Biyuan is where the three teams live together. Apart from the so-called peace agreement to unite against external forces, the three teams have definitely integrated into each other's lives. Although they are called three teams, they ultimately live in the same place. It's impossible to break them up from within, okay?"
"And how do you dismantle it? We don't have an inside man, and we can't get into Biyuan. It's simply unrealistic to try to dismantle this team from within."
"Okay." Du Xu was a little disappointed.
Chu Yu continued, "The only way to destroy Biyuan is through a war of attrition. As for ambushing Biyuan, forget about it. Since the three teams are united against a common enemy, they must have thought things through carefully. If we really want to play this game, we can only wear down Li Shujiang's men first. Once his men are gone, the other two teams will be more cautious. As for whether they will resort to desperate measures, we'll have to wait and see."
"How do you plan to wage a war of attrition?" I asked.
Chu Yu said, "It's very simple. Set a trap and let the people from Biyuan walk into it, just like the bait plan last night. As long as they take the bait, we will have a chance to kill them."
Chu Yu looked at me and smiled, "Besides, I can't do this. Didn't those two guys think we were from Jiangbei? Let the people from Jiangbei do it. I think Jiangbei would be very willing."
