I pulled Chu Yu into a room on the third floor. Although I didn't have any romantic feelings for Chu Yu, it was still a bit inappropriate to bring a girl into my room like this.
But I didn't think that much about it.
What I need is Chu Yu's analytical skills, not to do anything shady.
Immediately, I told Chu Yu everything that had happened recently, including my own analysis, the situation of the people in the central town, and the fact that I had placed Zhang Jianzhou under house arrest. She then began to think about it.
After a long pause, she said, "Actually, given your current situation, the best thing to do is to leave here and go back to Jiajiang."
My brows furrowed, and I felt a sudden sense of helplessness.
Chu Yu thought I hadn't understood her, so she explained, "You have Zhang Jianzhou on your hands now. Once he goes berserk or tells the people in Central Town about it, you're finished. Staying here means certain death. And that Ye Cheng you mentioned, since he's taken a liking to Zhou Qingya, he definitely won't give up so easily. Although he hasn't made a move or said anything yet..."
"But you know the outcome. Zhou Qingya will never agree to Ye Cheng's request. If Ye Cheng loses patience and starts using certain methods, then there will inevitably be a conflict between you two. Once the conflict arises, it's anyone's guess what will happen."
"After all, Ye Cheng is Ye Qian's younger brother. Tell me, if you two really start fighting, who will Ye Qian side with? It will definitely be his younger brother, right?"
I nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, everything you said is correct, but if I leave here now and take Zhang Jianzhou to Jiajiang, the people in the central town will definitely become suspicious. Once they start investigating, my situation will definitely be exposed, and that will definitely affect Jiajiang. To be honest, I don't want to involve you all."
Chu Yu said, "Indeed, given the current situation, involving us is not a wise choice, especially with the tense relationship between Central Town and Yao Chengjie's side, which could break out at any time. If we get involved in their struggle at this time, it probably won't be a good thing for Jiajiang."
"Moreover, Su Mu definitely won't help you with this. Although he's not as hostile towards you as he used to be, he still doesn't want to see you bring trouble to Jiajiang. Jiajiang is just starting to develop, and if any trouble arises, Su Mu will probably just kill you and then reach an agreement with the central town."
That's true. Given Su Mu's personality, he's very likely to do something like that.
Back when I was still in Jiajiang, he cared a lot about whether he could unify Jiajiang. Now the whole of Jiajiang has been unified by him and is on the right track for development. At this time, it is absolutely crucial that no trouble arises.
Chu Yu looked at me and said, "However, it's not absolute."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Chu Yu said, "It's very simple, because the central town has already started to extend its reach to Jiajiang."
I was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that Du Xu had told me before that a raider team had once gone to Jiajiang to test the waters, but those raider teams that went there were all insignificant teams, so Du Xu's people could easily take them down.
Chu Yu continued, "Since Central Town has already begun to probe Jiajiang City, it means that they have been paying attention to Jiajiang for a long time. If that's the case, it's very likely that Central Town knows everything about Jiajiang's development. Perhaps the expansion plan of Central Town includes the invasion of Jiajiang."
My mind was in turmoil. Chu Yu's analysis made a lot of sense. If those raider teams had only gone to Jiajiang by chance to rob a few people, they wouldn't have been probing so frequently.
Moreover, if the central town discovers such a lucrative opportunity as Jiajiang, there's no reason not to seize it.
Given the size and strength of the central town, if Su Mu were to launch an offensive against Jiajiang, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.
However, with Yao Chengjie and his group holding the Central Town back, the Central Town has not been in a hurry to take action.
I said, "So, you think I should go back to Jiajiang?"
Chu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is your safest choice right now, and also the most conservative one. Of course, if you really go, you may never be able to leave Jiajiang again, unless you destroy the central town. Otherwise, the central town will definitely try every means to kill you."
I asked, "What if we don't leave? What if we stay here?"
Chu Yu said, "It's fine if you don't leave, but the risks will be much greater, unless you kill Zhang Jianzhou and create a false impression that the people in the central town believe that Zhang Jianzhou was killed by Yao Chengjie and his men."
I became puzzled. "Why create this illusion?"
Chu Yu said calmly, "You told me before that you had already contacted Yao Chengjie and the others. In that case, regardless of whether this matter has been exposed or not, you are already in great danger. So if we create this illusion, you can get rid of your suspicion and then join the Central Town."
I was surprised to hear this. "Wait, you said you want me to join Central Town? Why?"
Chu Yu said, "Actually, your current situation is nothing more than being caught in the middle between Central Town, Yao Chengjie and his group, and Jiajiang. It all depends on how you choose. In fact, based on your current choice, you have already put yourself on the opposite side of Central Town. You are a person of Jiajiang, and at the same time, you are also a person of Yao Chengjie and his group."
"But if you want to survive now, and in the long run, joining Central Town is the safest way. Only in this way can you get rid of all suspicion. When Zhang Jianzhou is dead, you will be the only doctor left in Central Town. With your abilities, I think you should be able to get in touch with the higher-ups in Central Town very soon."
"At that time, you will be able to act as an inside agent for Jiajiang and Yao Chengjie. You told me before that Central Town will inevitably expand in the future, and all the raider teams will definitely be incorporated. In that case, if you are in Central Town, you may be able to gain a lot of benefits."
"In any case, judging from the development of Central Town, once Central Town really takes off, Yao Chengjie definitely won't be able to stop them. Jiajiang's strength is relatively weak. Although they have many people, they have few weapons and can't form an army. But Zhongxi is different. Once Central Town incorporates the raiders, it will be equivalent to having a battle-hardened army. Do you think anyone can stop them then?"
