When I got upstairs, I saw Sun Wenbo and the little girl.
The little girl seemed very tired at this moment. She was thrown to the ground by Sun Wenbo, her eyes closed, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
The little girl's clothes were covered in blood. I saw white gauze inside her clothes, and her wounds seemed to have been treated.
I finally got to see her, but seeing the little girl's condition broke my heart.
Sun Wenbo looked at me and said, "You're the one who said he wanted to make a deal with me earlier?"
"It's me."
Sun Wenbo stared at me for a moment and said, "I really haven't seen you before. Before we talk about the deal, could you tell me who you are?"
I said, "My name is Lu Xiaonan, and I come from Jiajiang."
Sun Wenbo frowned and thought for a moment, "I do remember Zhou Qingya mentioning that she came from Jiajiang before."
I said, "Now that we've met, can you release the little girl?"
Sun Wenbo said, "No."
I wasn't in a hurry and waited for him to continue.
Sun Wenbo said, "I want those people in the villa community to surrender. Can you help me do that?"
I said, "The villa community issue has nothing to do with me. I've already said I'm here to take the two of them away. As for Ninghai's affairs, I don't want to get involved."
Sun Wenbo sneered, "But this way I've suffered a great loss."
I said, "So, what do you want?"
Sun Wenbo said, "Can you guarantee that after I release this little girl, you can really take Zhou Qingya away from Ninghai?"
I said, "I can't guarantee that I can take them away immediately, but I can assure you that Zhou Qingya will no longer interfere in Ninghai's affairs."
Sun Wenbo said, "That's not enough! As long as Zhou Qingya stays in Ninghai, those people in the villa community will continue to be arrogant."
I frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Actually, I've always been quite clear about what kind of conflict you have with the villa community. And judging from what you just said, it seems you know Qingya?"
Sun Wenbo snorted coldly and said, "Didn't Zhou Qingya tell you about me?"
I said, "I just arrived today."
“…” Sun Wenbo said speechlessly, “If you want to know, I can tell you if you’re not in a hurry.”
I said, "I'm not in a hurry."
Sun Wenbo nodded, "Okay, then I'll tell you why. The reason is simple. When Zhou Qingya came, I was the one who brought her and this little girl into my team. After that, my team started to grow because of Zhou Qingya. But do you know what happened after it grew?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Besieged?"
Sun Wenbo nodded and said, "Yes, we were besieged! Other teams couldn't stand our development, so they besieged us. I could only run away at the time. But less than half a month later, Zhou Qingya joined another team. Then, I don't know who it was, but they started spreading rumors among the small teams in Ninghai City that this big star, Zhou Qingya, was leading them back to their old ways."
"What happened next was quite simple. Other teams started joining Zhou Qingya's team, and the villa community was formed. So what if the villa community was formed? I don't care. I don't want to go in anyway, because I'd feel uncomfortable there. As long as they don't bother me and my people, that's fine."
"But do you know what they did?"
I said, “They started forcing you to join the villa community, but you weren’t happy about it, so they took action, right?”
Sun Wenbo was stunned for a moment, "Yes, that's right! Why should I? Is there a problem with me living on my own turf? Why should they force me to join the villa community? It's not just me, many other small groups have been forced by them. In the end, we had no choice but to form an alliance to fight against this villa community!"
I asked, "I suspect there might be a mole of yours in the villa complex, right?"
Sun Wenbo was stunned again. Instead of hiding anything, he asked, "How did you know?"
I said, "Otherwise, how did you know we were here? Someone in the villa community must have told you we came out, that's why you did this."
Sun Wenbo said, "Yes, it was indeed that traitor who notified me, but I didn't expect it to be you who came."
I said, "Well, I've said everything I needed to say. So, what are your plans for this deal?"
Sun Wenbo said, "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. After I release her, all you need to do is help me catch one person, and you don't need to worry about anything else. But you must promise me one thing: you must take Zhou Qingya away from Ninghai, or I will not let her off the hook."
I said, "I know. Tell me, who do you want?"
Sun Wenbo said, "Li Kai."
I asked, puzzled, "Why him?"
Sun Wenbo said, "My informant told me that he was the mastermind behind all the expansionist actions, and that my brother died at his hands. I think that once he's dead and Zhou Qingya leaves, the villa complex will no longer pose any threat to me. I think I can finally live a peaceful life."
I stared at him without saying anything more.
I said, "Although the people of Ninghai have nothing to do with me, I know that Qingya would definitely not want to see you slaughter innocent people, so your words are just empty talk."
Sun Wenbo shook his head and chuckled, "I know what you mean. You just want me to release this girl first, right? But what if you shoot me dead if I release her?"
I said, "So it still doesn't work?"
Sun Wenbo said, "How about we compromise? You agree to my conditions and give Li Kai back to me by tomorrow morning. I can return this little girl to you, but you have to go downstairs and wait until I leave and it's safe before you come up to pick her up. Now you can trust me, right?"

Recorder Diary 26:
"It's 3 a.m. on the 28th now. Lin Zijie has fully recovered, and Shou Tianfeng has also received an injection and is steadily improving. However, something has the supervisor worried: external communications were cut off two hours ago. They've been trying to contact their superiors since then, but because we don't have the necessary technical expertise, the communication channels haven't been established. Plus, the epidemic has broken out outside, and nobody knows what to do. Someone suggested going out to make direct contact, but the supervisor is still considering it and doesn't know who to send. Hopefully, I won't be sent."
