Chapter 681 Cousin
The meeting continued, and Sister Jing began to tell me about the situation in Jiangbei so that I could better understand it.
“When you left a little over a month ago, there were already signs of trouble in Jiangbei. It was mainly because so many things had happened in Jiangbei in the past year, coupled with the chaos in management and some people’s deliberate framing. Su Mu was hated by the people of Jiangbei in no time. I don’t know if someone was deliberately inciting public sentiment, but in the end, because Su Mu did something small, he was forced to step down.”
I frowned and asked, "What did Su Mu do?"
Sister Jing said, "It was a very small thing. He didn't know that the people in Jiangbei harbored a lot of resentment towards him. So when he went out, he just grabbed a bottle of wine that someone else had brewed. Then, everyone erupted and started attacking him. At the time, no one knew who it was, but they locked him up in the Jiangbei prison."
After Sister Jing finished speaking, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He asked, "Was it someone from the committee who framed you?"
Sister Jing shook her head. "I don't know, but judging from what they did afterward, it's very likely that the committee framed Su Mu. We don't know what happened in between. In short, Jiangbei has cut off all contact and cooperation with all communities. Three days ago, they even demanded that the resort be handed over to their committee for management. Otherwise, Jiangbei would not recognize the resort, the central town, or Yao Chengjie's community. They gave us ten days to consider. If we do not agree within these ten days, they will use force against us."
I laughed when I heard that. "A military decision? Is the Jiangbei committee playing house? Don't they know Jiangbei's actual strength?"
Pu Weichao then said, "I have had people investigate this matter. The armed forces in Jiangbei are acting strangely. In short, their strength is much greater than before, and they have more firearms and weapons. In addition, the weapons stockpile in the central town is running low. So, if Jiangbei really wants to launch an attack, I'm afraid we will have a hard time resisting them."
Sister Jing said, "Yes, so we are now in a dilemma. We don't know why the situation in Jiangbei has become like this, but what is certain is that they have either found a batch of weapons or have a very powerful force supporting them behind the scenes. Otherwise, Jiangbei would not dare to act so recklessly."
Is there a force supporting Jiangbei from behind?
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the old Central Town. Wasn't Central Town supported by the force behind Xu Le?
Could it be...?
I immediately felt helpless.
Looking at my expression, Pu Weichao asked, "What are you thinking about?"
I sighed and said, "I think Xu Le is the one behind this."
"Xu Le?" Sister Jing asked in surprise.
I said, "Jiangbei's current strength is definitely not a coincidence. And doesn't this kind of framing of Su Mu and then manipulating the committee to exercise dictatorship seem familiar to you?"
They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
I suddenly remembered that I was the only mole in Central Town at the time, and they didn't know what had happened in Central Town.
So all I could do was tell them what had happened in the central town at that time.
Afterwards, they understood many things.
Jing asked, "So you think Xu Le was actually the one who did this?"
I said, "I'm not sure if it's Xu Le, but only they could provide so many weapons. I don't believe it could be any other force."
Pu Weichao said, "Since we're unsure, what do you plan to do?"
I gave a wry smile and said, "I'd also like to ask you what we should do."
Pu Weichao raised an eyebrow and said, "Go to Jiangbei and confirm."
I nodded. "It seems like this is the only way. Let's go to Jiangbei then. It's still early, shall we go together?"
Pu Weichao said, "No problem."
Finally, it was decided that Jingjie, Pu Weichao, and I would go to Jiangbei.
The troubles in Jiangbei must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, who knows what might happen here.
Just as we were about to leave, Gu Yu suddenly appeared at the entrance of the resort and stopped my car.
I got out of the car and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yu asked with a serious expression, "Where are you going?"
I said, "Go to Jiangbei. You should stay here. You went to Jiajiang to find a safe place to live, right? It's safe here now, so you don't need to go to Jiajiang anymore."
Gu Yu asked, "Go to Su Mu's Jiangbei?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
Without a word, Gu Yu decisively let me go and got into the car. I was speechless at his actions. What was this girl trying to do?
Pu Weichao and Sister Jing were also surprised when Gu Yu suddenly got on the bus.
I got back into the car and asked, "Why are you going?"
Gu Yu said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. After I tell you, you'll understand why I'm going with you."
I glanced at Sister Jing and Pu Weichao; neither of them understood the situation.
I nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Gu Yu didn't say it directly, but said, "You drive first, and I'll tell you when we're halfway there."
I gave a wry smile. This girl is quite cunning. She probably said that because she was afraid I wouldn't take her there after she finished speaking.
Oh well, it doesn't matter, one more person won't hurt.
I started the car and continued on my way.
More than half an hour later, we were halfway there, and I said, "Now you can tell me."
"Yes." Gu Yu nodded. "I wasn't lying to you when I said I came to Jiajiang to find a safe place to live. I just hid some things from you."
"uh-huh?"
Gu Yu said, "I came to Jiajiang to find Jiangbei, because I have relatives there."
"Family?"
“Yes, it’s Su Mu, he’s my cousin,” Gu Yu said.
"..." I was shocked by this answer. "You mean... Su Mu is your cousin?"
Gu Yu said, "Yes, he is my cousin. We got separated when the zombie outbreak first started. He promised me that he would wait for me in Jiajiang and create a suitable living environment for me. He said he would welcome me when I came."
I had some doubts about the veracity of this statement, but judging from Gu Yu's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
Gu Yu continued, "So, I'm going to Jiangbei to find my cousin. I want to tell him I'm back."
I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Pu Weichao then said, "I see."
I asked, "What do you mean?"
Pu Weichao shook his head, "It's okay, let her come along, just don't try to stand out."
