Chapter 562 Heading to Jiajiang
After a long while, Xu Sanshui finally said, "So, it's impossible for us to cooperate with Zhou Liang on a counter-espionage scheme?"
I nodded and said, "Ye Qian couldn't possibly betray us. You can tell from his previous support for Zhou Liang's rise to power. There are really only two possibilities. One is that Zhou Liang might have Ye Qian's life in his hands, which is why Ye Qian helped Zhou Liang. The other is that Zhou Liang gave Ye Qian benefits he couldn't refuse. But I'm more inclined to believe the first one. Only when his life is in someone else's hands would Ye Qian be so obedient."
Xu Sanshui then asked me a very speechless question.
How did he do that?
I can't answer that, because apart from Zhou Liang and Ye Qian, practically no one knows how he did it.
Xu Sanshui said, "In that case, is it possible for us to cooperate with Zhou Liang first, and then secretly eliminate Ye Qian? That way, we'll have one less threat."
I shook my head and said, "I don't think it's possible. If you rashly go to Zhou Liang for cooperation, he will definitely be suspicious. In that case, it might not be Ye Qian who dies, but us."
Xu Sanshui stroked his chin, saying irritably, "So, we have no way to resolve this?"
I sighed. Although I didn't want to admit it, I had to say that there was really no way to solve the problem right now.
"I'm afraid so," I said helplessly.
Xu Sanshui said unwillingly, "Are we just going to wait to die like this?"
I said, "We can't just wait to die like this. The best thing to do now is to take it one step at a time and see what happens next."
At this point, I thought of someone; she's probably the only one who can help us solve this problem. But getting her to come over is very difficult. What should we do?
Zhou Liang should not have returned to the central town yet; perhaps there is still time.
Given Zhou Liang's current situation, once he successfully subdues Wu Zhaolong's men and returns to Central Town, he will target Xu Sanshui. At that time, Xu Sanshui will definitely not be able to defeat Zhou Liang and will only die.
This is troublesome.
It's really troublesome.
I said, "How about this for now? We can't come to any conclusions by just the two of us locked up in the room. I'll go find my people, and we can discuss this again tomorrow, okay?"
Xu Sanshui said, "But time is of the essence now. What if Zhou Liang returns to the central town if we delay any longer?"
I shook my head and said, "Even if we come up with a plan or a result here, we definitely won't be able to defeat Zhou Liang."
"But what can you do if you go back?"
I said, "Give me a day to think of a solution, and I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."
Xu Sanshui looked puzzled at my expression. I knew he didn't understand what I meant, but there was nothing I could do about it now.
I cannot reveal anything about Wang Xintong; her existence must be kept secret.
Xu Sanshui didn't insist and said, "Alright, since you have a solution, I won't force you. If you can really come up with a solution tomorrow, remember to tell me."
I said, "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I will definitely tell you."
No matter what, I don't want Xu Xin to get hurt.
After leaving Xu Sanshui's villa, I called Jingjie and the others directly to the hotel room.
Jingjie and the others found it strange that I was at the resort.
I was too lazy to explain my reasons to them, so I just said, "I need your help right now."
"What kind of help?" Hu Fei asked.
I said, "I need someone from you to go to Jiajiang and bring Wang Xintong over."
Jingjie asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly want her to come over?"
I said, "I'm out of options now. I can only hope that she can help me in some way. So I need one of you to go to Jiajiang and bring him back."
Lu Yun asked, "Go by yourself then."
I said, "I can't leave right now, and there's a mole in Jiajiang in the central town. If I go there, I'll definitely be recognized, so I can only rely on you guys."
Hu Fei asked, "Is this person very important to you?"
I said, "The current situation is like this..."
I told them about the current situation in the central town, and they were somewhat incredulous when they heard it.
After listening, Sister Jing said, "So, we must win now. If we can't win, we'll only face death?"
Hu Fei said, "Why go through all that trouble? Why not just leave? Why insist on staying here?"
I said, "That's what I was thinking too, which is why I need your help tonight. After you bring Wang Xintong here, you should leave the resort immediately and go to the safe house. Then we'll meet up somewhere else."
"Aren't you leaving?" Sister Jing asked.
I shook my head and said, "If I leave, Zhou Liang will definitely become suspicious and might send people to hunt us down. Besides, as I just told you, my classmate Xu Xinhe's father is here. Her father, Xu Sanshui, is one of the three big shots in the central town. It won't be easy for them to retreat; there are too many things involved."
Sister Jing asked, "We don't know who would be suitable to go. Who do you think would be the best choice?"
I looked at them, my gaze fixed on Lu Yun, and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Yun was stunned. "What? Why?"
I said, "Because if someone is chasing you, you can hide in the zombie horde, and no one will be able to find you. Besides, the people in Central Town don't remember you, so it's the most suitable place for you to go."
Because of Lu Yun's special circumstances, I have basically never let Lu Yun go to the central town. She only came to the central town once when Zhang Jianzhou ran away. The rest of the time, she has been staying at the research institute.
Lu Yun sighed, "Fine, I'll go, but Lu Xiaonan, listen up, you owe me a favor, you know that!"
I nodded and said, "Understood. Whenever you need my help, I'll definitely risk my life for you."
"That's more like it."
No one objected to Lu Yun going to Jiajiang, after all, Lu Yun's abilities are undeniable, and she is the most suitable person to go.
I said, "There's no need to hesitate. You should leave now. I'll get you a car, and then you can go straight there. As for the rest of you, evacuate tonight and go to the safe house."
Everyone agreed to my action plan, so we started preparing to pack up.
As for Lu Yun, she followed me to the garage, where I gave her a car, and she set off immediately.
