Chapter 547 Yao Chengjie's Secret Contact
Xu Sanshui showed no anger at Ye Qian's slightly angry words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say any more, lest you find me displeasing. Of course, if there's anything I can help you with, just say so, and I will definitely do my best to help you."
Ye Qian didn't respond; he definitely wanted to handle this matter himself.
I stood aside, silently watching the meeting unfold. Although I didn't get much information, I learned about the relationships between these high-ranking officials.
The one I can't figure out the most is Chen Tianqi. How did this guy become the leader of Central Town?
What is so special about him?
The meeting ended quickly.
After everyone learned about the matter, they had a somewhat confused discussion, and then the meeting that started out of nowhere came to an end.
The town's central meeting is still ongoing, and as the weather gradually gets colder, some cured meats have started to be sold. After all, fresh meat cannot be preserved for a long time, but cured meat is different and can be preserved for a long time.
With the conclusion of the meeting, this matter has temporarily come to an end.
The conflict between Wu Zhaolong and Ye Qian at the meeting was clearly instigated by Zhou Liang. He fabricated a downturn using the research institute incident, which stirred up the conflict between the two men and then naturally made them hate each other.
As for what to do next, nobody knows.
Zhou Liang is unlikely to tell me his plans right now. He clearly doesn't want me to give myself away, and judging from his personality, he might even use me later.
It seems I need to be more careful.
After leaving the building, Zhou Liang left without saying a word to me.
I arrived at my place and found Sister Jing and the others.
Seeing that everyone was there, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing asked, "Xiaonan, how's this going? Has Zhang Jianzhou's death raised any suspicions?"
Looking at everyone's expressions, I said, "There's basically no problem. I told a lie, saying that our research institute was attacked this morning, and then you all escaped..."
Afterwards, I explained the situation to everyone, and we all needed to stick to the same story to avoid any mishaps later.
"That's the gist of the matter. This matter is no longer relevant to us. If anyone asks, just repeat what I just said. As long as we don't provoke others, the impact of this matter on us is negligible."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Fang Yuan asked, "When can we go back?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. You two can stay here for now. Lao Fei, Hu Fei, you two go to the safe house and tell them to just stay there and not come out. We'll go back to the research institute after this is over."
"good."
Although there seems to be no outward movement on the surface, things are actually quite turbulent underneath.
Zhang Jianzhou's escape gave Zhou Liang this opportunity. Now, he has all the initiative in the hands of the two high-ranking officials, and how things will develop next is entirely up to him.
I have to say, this person is truly terrifying.
If he really takes control of Central Town, who knows what might happen?
The trade fair in the central town was still going on, and the unsuspecting onlookers were still enjoying the joy of joining the central town. How could they know that in the near future, a bloody storm would sweep through the entire central town, and how many people would die?
...
On the second day of the central town conference, Fei Lichao and Hu Fei went to the safe house.
As for the rest of us, we stayed in the central town.
As for why, it's simple: they have nowhere to go.
Jiajiang is currently under surveillance by the people of the central town, so going to Jiajiang is impossible. As for Yao Chengjie's situation, it's even more impossible; I still don't know the exact location of Yao Chengjie and his group.
Therefore, they can only stay in the central town and safe houses.
This morning at nine o'clock, I had just gotten up when there was a knock on my door.
The knocking was very soft, which I found a bit strange. It was unlikely that someone I knew would knock like that, so it was probably a stranger, or someone from the central town.
I went out to open the door and saw a stranger standing outside. I didn't recognize him.
The shifty-eyed fellow asked, "Are you Lu Xiaonan?"
I frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The guy said, "My name is Yu Xing, and I'm from Yao Chengjie's side."
I kept my expression unchanged as I stared at this guy who had suddenly appeared. I had serious doubts in my heart: was he really Yao Chengjie's man?
What if he was sent by the central town to test me?
If I confess now, or bring him directly into the house, then I will be exposed.
I don't know what to do with this guy.
Yu Xing seemed to sense my hesitation and said, "I know you might not believe me, so Pu Weichao asked me to tell you that he will come back once things in Central Town are over."
The moment I heard those words, I knew this guy was definitely one of Yao Chengjie's men.
After all, nobody knows anything about Pu Weichao, and the people in the central town are even less likely to know about my relationship with Pu Weichao.
I glanced at the hallway outside, then pulled him directly into the house. After closing the door, I dragged him into the bathroom and asked, "Are you really Yao Chengjie's man?"
Yu Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I am Yao Chengjie's mole planted here."
I frowned and asked, "Then what brings you here?"
Yu Xing said, "Yao Chengjie asked me to inform you that he will be waiting for you at the signal tower 10 kilometers west of the central town at 8 pm tonight. I hope you will not be late."
"That's all?"
Yu Xing nodded: "Okay, remember to be on time. If you're ten minutes late, he won't wait for you."
I nodded helplessly and said, "I understand."
"I'm leaving now." After saying that, Yu Xing carefully left my room.
I washed my face and stood in front of the window, somewhat speechless.
What is Yao Chengjie up to? Why did he suddenly come to see me? Could it be that he's planning an attack on Central Town?
This is so annoying, it seems I have no choice but to go tonight.
Just to be on the safe side, I'll leave in the afternoon to avoid arousing suspicion by leaving at night.
And I can't tell Jingjie and the others about this, it's so annoying.
Hopefully Yao Chengjie has something important to say, otherwise I'll beat him to a pulp.
...
And so, right after lunch, I left the central town and began wandering around outside the Central Academy of Drama.
