Chapter 565 Zhou Liang is back
When I returned to the central town, Zhou Liang had not yet come back.
Nothing unusual happened in the central town as usual. When I entered the central town, I happened to run into Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng looked at me and said, "You're back."
I nodded. "Yes, he's back. What about Zhou Liang? Has he come back yet?"
Ye Cheng shook his head and said, "Not yet, how can it be so fast? I guess he's not having an easy time over there. It's not that simple to subdue Wu Zhaolong's men."
It has been about three or four days since Zhou Liang set off. Logically speaking, with Zhou Liang's abilities, three or four days should be enough time to subdue Wu Zhaolong's forces. Why hasn't the problem been solved yet?
Could something have gone wrong?
I asked, "Did something happen?"
Ye Cheng shook his head. "I don't know, but it's very possible. Wu Zhaolong was a troublemaker before, and his men basically only listened to him. Now that Wu Zhaolong is dead, it won't be easy for Zhou Liang to go and subdue all of his men. Maybe when Zhou Liang went there, his men were in the middle of a revolution."
I pondered for a moment.
Upon closer reflection, it seems to make sense.
After Wu Zhaolong's death, the people who most want to take over these people are definitely not the people in the central town, but the group of people under Wu Zhaolong. They definitely want to control these people and then enjoy the resources that Wu Zhaolong enjoyed before.
Zhou Liang's appearance shattered their hopes, which would certainly displease them, and they might even start setting traps for him after he left.
But Zhou Liang wasn't stupid. He must have expected these things to happen before he went there, and he might even have set a trap for those people.
As for the outcome of Zhou Liang and the others setting traps for each other, I think Zhou Liang will definitely win.
Zhou Liang toyed with those people like an adult toying with children. If they really managed to subdue Zhou Liang, their own deaths would probably be imminent.
Ye Cheng said dismissively, "I hope Zhou Liang is dead. Damn it, this bastard has only been here a short time and he's already in Wu Zhaolong's position. I don't know what my brother was thinking, giving him such an important position."
I understand Ye Cheng's complaints. After all, Ye Cheng felt that if Wu Zhaolong were dead, the position should definitely be his. However, Zhou Liang suddenly appeared and snatched the position away, so it's normal for him to be unhappy.
Ye Cheng looked at me and said, "By the way, Lu Xiaonan, I remember you were the one who brought Zhou Liang in. How did you end up bringing in such a guy?"
What could I say to Ye Cheng's words? I could only ignore them.
Ye Cheng sighed and said to himself, "I reckon Xu Sanshui will be in trouble once he gets back."
Upon hearing this, a thought struck me, and I asked, "Why?"
Ye Cheng shook his head, "How would I know? My brother told me that Zhou Liang had this idea and wanted to take action against Xu Sanshui. Lu Xiaonan, do you think he's a mad dog? Isn't killing Wu Zhaolong enough? Does he want to kill Xu Sanshui and take over Xu Sanshui's men? That's too greedy."
My expression remained unchanged, but I felt helpless inside. It seemed that Ye Qian understood this matter very well. I wondered if he had been threatened by Zhou Liang. If so, Ye Qian was probably very unwilling.
After all, if Zhou Liang really killed Xu Sanshui, then Ye Qian would definitely be next.
Ye Qian couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
Since he knows this, yet still helps Zhou Liang, it seems that Ye Qian's life is indeed in Zhou Liang's hands.
I don't know what method Zhou Liang used.
Thinking about this, an idea suddenly came to my mind.
Should I talk to Ye Qian alone and sound him out? If I could find out anything, it might be very useful. But looking at Ye Cheng, I suddenly dismissed the idea.
Because a long time ago, when I was eavesdropping at Ye Qian's door, I clearly heard Ye Qian say that he didn't trust me. If I go to talk to him about this now, it would be like going to my death.
So we have to wait, we absolutely have to wait.
...
Two days later, Zhou Liang returned.
Behind him followed a group of people, who were clearly Wu Zhaolong's men from before, but now they were mostly under Zhou Liang's control.
I thought Zhou Liang would come to me after he came back, but he completely ignored me and called a meeting. As for me, I was excluded from the meeting, and I had no idea what they talked about.
I went to Zhang Lincai to ask, but Zhang Lincai didn't tell me either.
Two days later, Xu Sanshui had someone give me a note with the contents of their meeting that day written on it. Only then did I realize what Zhou Liang was planning to do.
The note Xu Sanshui gave me contained the following: "Zhou Liang wants to make contact with the authorities, gather all the forces in the central town, and make contact with the people who provided us with the guns. At the same time, he wants to replace them."
When I saw this news, I was completely baffled.
What exactly is Zhou Liang trying to do? Does he really want to take down the upstream supplier?
But is it really feasible to do this?
The existence of the upstream supplying guns to the central town, based on the information I have, makes it entirely plausible that this is a place where guns can be manufactured. Can the central town alone really fight against such a place?
What exactly does Zhou Liang want to do?
I'm a little confused.
...
Two more days passed, and Zhou Liang seemed to have completely forgotten about me.
I took this opportunity to go to the resort, find Chu Yu, and tell her about it.
After learning about the situation, Chu Yu said, "It's possible that this is a smokescreen."
"What's the meaning?"
Chu Yu said, "Zhou Liang probably has two purposes in doing this. One is to understand the strength of each faction in the central town so that he can weigh his own strength. The second is that he can use this matter to understand how powerful the faction in the central town really is."
"Of course, it's also possible that he'll use the power in Central Town to help him get rid of Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian. If that's the case, as long as he sides with that power, Central Town will be completely in his hands. If that's really what he's thinking, we're probably helpless."
Is there really no other way?
Chu Yu shook his head and said, "There is only one way, which is to retreat, leave the central town, and not get involved in this matter."
