Arriving at the parking lot outside the town center, I parked my car on the edge and then carefully walked to the entrance of the town center.
It was already evening, and the sky was dark. When I arrived at the gate, the people there recognized me and did not stop me. They let me into the central town.
As soon as I entered the town center, I heard a commotion outside the town gate.
Turning around and looking outside, I saw Ye Cheng's car, riddled with bullet holes, appear at the entrance of the central town.
Then, Ye Cheng and the other two got out of the car.
I watched them from the center of town, watching them enter the town.
Immediately, to avoid suspicion, I quickly hid in the shadows. Ye Cheng rushed in without noticing me and headed straight into the depths of the central town.
I quickly followed behind, and then I heard him cursing.
Because the town center is going to announce something today, there are still quite a few people in the town. Although it is already evening, they obviously have no intention of leaving.
I followed closely behind Ye Cheng and heard him give a few instructions to the two people beside him before he walked into the building deep inside.
I followed him inside, and then I saw him go up to the third floor and then into Ye Qian's room.
I glanced around and, finding no one nearby, tiptoed to Ye Qian's door, pressed my ear against it, and listened to their conversation inside.
Because the door was made of wood, it wasn't very soundproof, so I could clearly hear the two brothers talking inside.
"How is the situation?" Ye Qian asked.
Ye Cheng said, "They got away mainly because someone suddenly appeared to support them; otherwise, they would have been caught long ago."
Ye Qian asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Ye Cheng said, "I know. The three people who left from the central town before were from Jiajiang. I met the one named Su Mu. He was a big guy and had a deep impression on me. As for the people who appeared later, they were Yao Chengjie and his group."
After that, Ye Qian remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Jiajiang and Yao Chengjie shouldn't know each other, so how did they get in touch?"
Ye Cheng said, "Who knows! Maybe Yao Chengjie secretly went to Jiajiang City to find Su Mu. But it's strange, none of the people I arranged near Jiajiang have seen Yao Chengjie's men appear in Jiajiang."
Ye Qian said, "Regardless of their relationship, the fact that they were able to provide such timely assistance means that their relationship is definitely not ordinary. We need to be careful. If Jiajiang and Yao Chengjie join forces, our central town could be in danger."
Ye Cheng said, "It can't be that bad. No matter what, they could never be a match for us."
Ye Qian said, "We can't let our guard down. Here's what we'll do: have someone investigate the relationship between Jia Jiang and Yao Chengjie, mobilize all the people we've planted within both sides, and find out the whole story."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After saying that, Ye Cheng immediately asked, "By the way, Lu Xiaonan told me before that he has joined the Central Town. Is that true?"
Ye Qian said, "Really, you don't need to worry about his affairs. I'll handle it. This guy is no small fry and he's not easy to deal with."
"So he still needs to be suspicious?"
Ye Qian said, "I don't know. In short, we can't trust him yet. Let's wait and see. If he is really trustworthy, then let him join the central town. If we can't trust him, we'll do things the old way."
"good."
After they finished speaking, I heard Ye Cheng's footsteps approaching the door.
Immediately, I turned around and left, running downstairs.
I didn't stop until I reached the crowd in the central town.
Not long after, it got completely dark.
There was no electricity in the town center, so many torches were stuck in the surrounding walls for lighting.
There were still many people in the central town at this moment. They were chatting, laughing, eating and drinking, seemingly waiting for the central town to announce something.
I went into the bar and waited patiently.
At the same time, he was also thinking about what he had just overheard.
It is certain that the central town has planted spies in both Yao Chengjie's and Jiajiang's areas. However, these spies must not be of high rank. Otherwise, Ye Cheng would probably have known my identity long ago after I went to Jiajiang so many times.
Besides, Ye Qian doesn't trust me yet.
I need to find a way to gain his trust first; only then can I obtain more useful information in the central town.
...
After waiting for a long time, it was around 7:30.
As the sound of a loudspeaker rang out from the rooftop deep within the town center, the entire town fell silent.
"Quiet down, everyone! Please be quiet!"
The loudspeaker carried the sound throughout the entire town center, allowing everyone to hear the people speaking on the rooftop.
"The reason we've summoned you all here today is because we have something to announce—something very, very important! This matter concerns the future of all of you. So, I hope you will all quiet down and listen carefully to what the leaders of Central Town have to say."
I stood in the crowd in the central town, curiously looking up at the rooftops. The people on the rooftops were holding torches, but I still couldn't make out what they looked like.
I saw Ye Qian up there, but he was standing to the left of someone.
After the guy finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the leader.
I don't know who this leader is, but he must be the real leader of the central town.
He took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Chen Tianqi, a leader of Central Town. I have called you all here today mainly to announce something. This matter is related to our Central Town, and also to all of you plunderers. I know that not all of you plunderers are here today, so I hope that after you hear what I am announcing, you can tell the other colleagues who are not here what I am announcing today."
Chen Tianqi.
I have never heard of this person, let alone seen him.
Chen Tianqi continued, "What I'm about to say is very simple. Starting today, Central Town will be integrated, and all of you raiders can join Central Town from today onwards. Joining is unconditional, and we will not force you. However, after you join Central Town, we will make arrangements for you, including your job and living arrangements, so you don't need to worry about your survival after joining."
"This is what I'm talking about today: strangeness."
