Chapter 680 Home
To be honest, Su Mu's resignation was something I didn't expect. If Su Mu were still in power, he might have tried to borrow people, since given his personality, there's no reason he wouldn't take a bite out of such a big piece of the pie in Hangzhou.
But now the entire Jiangbei area has been taken over by the committee, which changes the nature of the situation.
Given the nature of the committee, it's clear they wouldn't lend me any personnel.
This will cause trouble.
Du Xu said, "Although Jiangbei has not yet broken away from our alliance, judging from the attitude of those committees, it seems that they do not want to cooperate with everyone anymore."
"Why?" I found it strange. There are many benefits to tripartite cooperation. If the people on the committee aren't idiots, they shouldn't be withdrawing from the alliance.
Du Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have no idea what they're thinking. But I heard something. It seems the committee wants to shut down the resort and make Jiangbei the actual manager of the alliance, or establish an official public management agency."
I frowned. "So, they want to be the boss?"
Du Xu said, "That should be the idea. However, neither Yao Chengjie's side nor the central town agrees to this matter, and it seems that Jiangbei is about to break off relations. In short, it's very troublesome now. Trade between Jiangbei and the other two parties has been interrupted for several days, and your people are currently at the resort and are constantly troubled by this issue."
I'm speechless. I originally came to borrow people, but I didn't expect that such a big problem would occur in the alliance before I even got the people.
Du Xu continued, "I think if you really want to borrow people, you'd better resolve Jiangbei's troubles first. Otherwise, if you borrow people and Jiangbei takes the opportunity to cause trouble, wouldn't everyone be in a dilemma?"
That makes sense, but even the resort can't solve the problem in Jiangbei, so how can I?
I asked, "Is it still possible to get into Jiangbei now?"
Du Xu said, "It's basically impossible now. A few days ago, Jiangbei sent people to my place and asked me to obey the committee unconditionally from now on. In order not to cause trouble, I verbally agreed to them, but I secretly contacted the people at the resort and told them about this matter, asking them to resolve the trouble here as soon as possible."
That's definitely a hassle.
Jiangbei's current situation is tantamount to courting disaster. What are those people on the committee thinking? Do they really believe that Jiangbei has the ability to fight against Central Town and Yao Chengjie?
Isn't that utter nonsense?!
I said, "Arrange a car to take me to the resort."
Looking at the heavy snow blocking the roads outside, Du Xu said, "Alright, I'll arrange for you to go."
Ten minutes later, Du Xu brought over an off-road vehicle, the kind with a high chassis and large tires, so it basically didn't have to worry about snow.
After I got on the bus, I left the primary school with Hu Fei and Gu Yu.
Gu Yu asked in surprise from inside the car, "Where are we going now?"
I said, "Let's go somewhere else."
Gu Yu asked curiously, "But aren't we already in Jiajiang? If we drive that way, it seems like we'll be leaving Jiajiang again."
Instead of saying where we were going, I asked, "Do you like Jiajiang that much? But there's a problem in one of the places in Jiajiang right now, so we can't get there."
Gu Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
I said, "Their original leader was overthrown."
Gu Yu's expression stiffened slightly. Although it was not easy to notice, I still saw it. I noticed that her eyes looked a little strange, and she didn't ask any more questions after that.
Hu Fei asked, "You said Su Mu was ousted from his post? What happened?"
I kept my eyes on Gu Yu's expression, and I saw that Gu Yu's expression became even stranger after hearing the name Su Mu.
I'm very curious, could it be that Gu Yu and Su Mu are related?
I neither asked nor answered Hu Fei's question, and continued driving forward.
The off-road vehicle encountered no obstacles in the snow and drove smoothly into the distance. Although the resort was a bit far from Jiajiang and we were moving slowly, we arrived safely at the resort entrance a little over an hour later.
There were people watching at the entrance of the resort. When they noticed our arrival, they didn't stop us and let me drive the car in directly. It was obvious that the people at the entrance knew me.
Gu Yu had returned to her previous appearance, curiously looking around and asking, "Wow, this place is so beautiful!"
Hu Fei smiled and said with a hint of pride, "Yes, this is my place, isn't it beautiful?"
"Mmm, beautiful! The scenery here is wonderful."
Hu Fei smiled and said, "How about we live here from now on?"
"Okay, okay."
I had absolutely no interest in their pointless conversation. After getting off the bus, I noticed that there were many more people living in the resort. I stopped one of the strangers and asked, "Do you know where Lu Jing is now?"
The stranger saw me and clearly didn't recognize me, but still pointed me in the right direction.
I saw that she was pointing in the direction of the villa by the lake, which was the villa where I used to live, so I ran over without hesitation. As for Hu Fei and Gu Yu, I didn't pay much attention to them and let them wander around here.
When I arrived at the villa's entrance, I was surprised to find people with guns at the gate. I had to admire the security measures taken by Sister Jing and her team.
I thought the two people at the door knew me when I moved in, but as soon as I went over, they stopped me.
"Excuse me, there's a meeting going on inside, you can't go in."
I frowned and said, "Go in and tell them that I, Lu Xiaonan, have returned."
The two guards were surprised when they heard my name. "You're Lu Xiaonan?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, I am Lu Xiaonan."
"Wait here for a moment," one of the guards said, and went inside the house. Not long after, I saw Sister Jing and the others run out.
Besides Sister Jing, Zhou Qingya, Fei Lichao, Lu Yun, Pu Weichao, and others all came out of the conference room.
After Jingjie ran out, she hugged me tightly. "Xiaonan, you're finally back!"
I was a little uncomfortable with their enthusiasm, but thankfully they didn't hold me for very long.
After they pulled me into the house, they started asking me all sorts of questions. I gave them some casual answers to brush them off, and then said, "I've heard about what happened in Jiangbei. You're having this meeting here, so it must be to resolve this matter, right?"
Pu Weichao then said, "Yes, the Jiangbei matter cannot be delayed any longer, so we are trying to find a solution."
I nodded. "Then let's continue. I'll join the discussion too."
Sister Jing asked, "Xiaonan, you just got back, why don't you go and rest first?"
I said, "No need. I came back with a mission. My mission can't proceed without resolving the Jiangbei issue, so let's continue."
