Chapter 571 Meeting Room
The next morning, Xu Le and I arrived at the main gate of the central town.
He had no weapons on him, while I at least had a gun hidden in my back waistband. How could he kill Zhou Liang if he didn't prepare anything?
"Let's go in."
Xu Le said something and took the lead towards the central town. The two guards at the gate recognized me, so they did not stop us and let us enter the central town directly.
Xu Le looked at the central town in front of him and smiled, "This is my first time here. I didn't expect it to be so nice."
I said, "It's pretty good. When I first came here, I also thought it was really nice. The trade fair back then made me feel that kind of life again."
Xu Le said, "If I had known this place was so much fun, I would have come sooner and had a good time."
Looking at Xu Le's wicked smile, I didn't know what to say. I just felt that there was something strange about Xu Le. I talked to him about some things last night, and I found that he was very good at leading the conversation. Every time I tried to ask about the power behind him, he could always bring up all sorts of irrelevant topics, which made me feel quite helpless.
Later I stopped pressuring him. Since he didn't want to talk about it, no matter how much I asked, it was useless.
There are quite a few people in the central town now, most of whom are raiders who have joined in.
Upon reaching the heart of the town, we found ourselves guarded at the entrance of a building. Although they recognized me, they stopped us from entering.
I asked, "Why won't you let us in?"
The guard looked at me and said, "Dr. Lu, I'm sorry, but Captain Zhou has instructed that you are currently prohibited from entering the building. If we let you in, we'll probably be in trouble too. So, Dr. Lu, please understand, we have no choice."
I glanced at Xu Le and saw that he wasn't in a hurry at all, with a smile on his face. Then he said to me, "Yours, mine."
"Huh?" I didn't understand what he meant.
But before I could ask, he made his move.
In no time, he punched the guard in the forehead, and the guard instantly rolled his eyes and fainted.
I stared wide-eyed, never expecting him to pull something like this.
At that moment, the guard in front of me tried to draw his gun, but I knew this was not the time to hesitate. I grabbed the guy's gun and punched him. The guy's nose bled, and his fist hurt, but he didn't faint.
Left with no other choice, I punched him, and he passed out.
I shook my slightly sore hand and looked at Xu Le, saying, "Next time you do something, can you give me a hint before you act? This is so sudden!"
Xu Le raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I already give you a hint?"
I gave a wry smile. Was that supposed to be a hint?
After the two guards at the entrance fell down, we pushed the door open and went inside. People will probably see the two guards collapsed outside very soon, and then a whole bunch of people will likely rush into the building.
Where are they in this building?
I said, "At this time, we should be having a meeting in the conference room."
In fact, there is a routine meeting every morning in the central town. If Zhou Liang doesn't change this habit, they will basically be in a meeting.
I led Xu Le to the entrance of the conference room on the third floor, where we saw guards standing in front of the entrance.
This time, however, no one stopped us when we arrived at the door.
Xu Le pushed open the door, and the two of us went inside.
There were quite a few people in the conference room at that moment. They were all standing around a table, on which there seemed to be a map. They were all staring at the map carefully, as if they were studying something.
The moment Xu Le pushed open the door, all eyes turned to the entrance.
I glanced at the people in the conference room.
Zhou Liang stood at the head of the group, his eyes coldly fixed on me. The Ye brothers, Ye Qian and Ye Cheng, were also there, their gazes filled with confusion, but their attention was more focused on Xu Le beside me. Xu Sanshui was also present, his eyes wide with surprise, seemingly not expecting my return.
Of course, there was another person present, Zhang Lincai. I was very surprised to see him here.
The arrival of Xu Le and me silenced the entire conference room discussion. Everyone stared at us, their expressions varied.
Before they could speak, a commotion arose in the stairwell, with the sound of many footsteps.
The footsteps reached the third floor and rushed into the conference room. Instantly, more than a dozen guns were pointed at our heads.
Seeing this, Zhou Liang stared at me and said, "Lu Xiaonan, what are you doing up here?"
I glanced at the dark gun barrels behind me and said, "I tried to come in, but the men downstairs told me you wouldn't let me in, so I knocked two of them out and came up to see you. We haven't seen each other for a while, can't I even come to see you?"
Zhou Liang waved his hand, signaling everyone behind us to retreat, and then had them close the conference room door.
"If you want to come up, you could have just sent someone to tell me. There's no need for this."
I said, "I feel it's quite necessary."
Upon hearing my words, Ye Qian immediately retorted, "Lu Xiaonan, who do you think you are? Don't you know we're in a meeting? Get out of here!"
Ignoring Ye Qian, I stared at Zhou Liang and said, "Zhou Liang, you can now say that you have control of Central Town, right?"
Zhou Liang looked at me but didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he glanced at Xu Le beside me and asked, "This friend looks unfamiliar. Where are you from? What brings you to my town?"
Xu Le smiled slightly and said, "Your Central Town? When did Central Town become yours?"
Zhou Liang said, "It's been about a week and a half since then. Central Town has already become mine. Do you have any objections?"
Xu Le said, "Yes, I have an opinion, and a very big one."
Zhou Liang said, "But what can you change even if you have an opinion?"
Xu Le said, "I really can change something. Let me put it this way, I come from the dam."
The moment Zhou Liang heard this, his expression changed drastically. "You are those people?"
Xu Le nodded and said, "Yes, I am the one who provided weapons to your central town. Chen Tianqi should have been killed by you, right? I haven't seen him return to the dam for a long time."
Dam?
I'm a little confused. Is the dam he mentioned a real dam, or is it just the name of a place?
Zhou Liang said, "Yes, Chen Tianqi is dead. But what can you do by coming here? You've come to Central Town all by yourself. Do you intend to take on the entire Central Town?"
Xu Le said without any concern, "More or less."
