Chapter 686 Ice Lake
During our conversation with Su Mu, we learned something.
Xu Le is not in Jiangbei.
Su Mu said, "He does seem to be out of Jiangbei. If he were, he would definitely have come looking for me during this time, and he wouldn't have let you escape so easily, right?"
"Yeah, knowing Xu Le's nature, he definitely won't let us leave."
Su Mu said, "Moreover, the last time I saw him, I noticed that he seemed to be in a hurry. I don't know what happened, but he left in a rush, as if he had no intention of staying."
I asked curiously, "Could something have happened at the dam?"
Nobody knows if something happened at the dam, but judging from Xu Le's sudden departure, only something bad could have happened at the dam to make him so anxious.
However, I am happy to see this happen. As long as something happens on the dam side, Xu Le here will be unable to take care of it.
Although saying this might sound like I'm belittling myself, Xu Le is just too powerful, practically a bug in the system. If he's one of our own in the Delta region, that's fine, but if he's an enemy, the consequences are unimaginable.
I said, "Since Xu Le is not here now, the matter in Jiangbei is not difficult to resolve. The biggest fear is that Xu Le will come back halfway."
Pu Weichao asked, "What exactly is Xu Le's dam?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. He didn't explain it in detail back then, but judging from their performance, they are indeed very powerful."
Su Mu said, "Could you please put aside the matter of Xu Le for now and discuss how to take back Jiangbei? The sooner we take it back, the sooner we can make preparations and avoid any further mishaps."
Su Mu is right, let's deal with the Jiangbei matter first.
Silence fell over the car; no one seemed to know what they were thinking. The road to the resort was long, and half an hour later, Su Mu asked, "Have you come up with any ideas?"
I glanced at Pu Weichao.
Pu Weichao cleared his throat and said, "If you want to resolve the Jiangbei issue, it's actually quite simple. The key is to let them know what exactly happened in Jiangbei. Xu Le used the same method to remove you from your position as leader. Now, if we do the same thing, we can basically get you back to your previous position and also dismantle the current committee."
Su Mu frowned and asked, "Is it that simple?"
Pu Weichao said, "Of course it's not that simple. I've only mentioned a method. As for the specific implementation, we'll have to take it one step at a time. There are already two people secretly spreading the news for us, but I estimate that they won't last long. Jiangbei is still under the control of the committee. To completely resolve this, we must make the committee members lose their trust."
Su Mu frowned and said, "According to you, wouldn't it be very troublesome if I went back with you now?"
Pu Weichao said, "Even if you stay in Jiangbei, what good will it do? Right now, everyone in Jiangbei hates you. What effect do you think you can have?"
Su Mu sighed helplessly, "Alright, then tell me, what should I do now?"
Pu Weichao said, "Let's wait. We planted a few spies in Jiangbei before, and now it's time for them to act. Now that they know the truth, the people in Jiangbei have the right to know as well. Once everyone below knows the truth, the committee basically won't be able to cause any trouble."
I said, "Well, the people in Jiangbei aren't stupid. Since Jiangbei declared independence, their quality of life has been declining. They can't possibly not see that. So as long as the truth is publicized properly, what's going to happen will happen sooner or later. There's no need to rush."
"As for whether Xu Le will come back halfway, I think it doesn't matter if he comes back. By then, it will be too late for him to stop us."
An hour later, we returned to the resort.
Our safe return brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
In the following period, Pu Weichao and Xu Sanshui contacted the spies they had planted in Jiangbei and told them the truth about what had happened there, so that they could start spreading the truth within the area.
As for what will happen in Jiangbei next, no one knows, so we can only wait and see. Once the situation in Jiangbei stabilizes, we can start wrapping things up.
As for what the committee will do after they learn that the truth is being spread, that remains to be seen. If they start killing people, they're doomed; if they do nothing, it will arouse suspicion.
The committee is truly a laughable entity.
...
When little Zhong Linyun found out I was back, she ran and jumped into my arms. Although it had only been a little over a month since I last saw her, this little girl thought about me every day. I really felt sorry for her.
This little girl didn't want to leave my side after she came to me. She stayed by my side the whole time, even during the later meetings. But she was quite well-behaved.
The little girl isn't actually that little; she just likes to stick close to me.
She led me to the lakeside, walked directly onto the frozen surface, and laughed, "Brother Xiaonan, come on up, you won't fall in."
I'm a little scared and I don't know if I should go up. What if I fall and I'm done for?
But seeing how steadily the little girl walked on it, I figured nothing would happen. I tiptoed up carefully, and by then the little girl had already gone quite a distance, laughing, "Brother Xiaonan, come quick!"
"They're here, they're here."
I walked very slowly, afraid of slipping or falling.
However, after walking for a long time, they found that there were no cracks in the ice, so they became bolder and followed the little girl into the lake.
Looking around from here, I found the scenery to be quite different.
"Brother Xiaonan, isn't this place beautiful?" the little girl said happily.
I smiled and said, "Yes, it's very beautiful."
The little girl grabbed my hand and asked, "Brother Xiaonan, has Sister Wu Shuang been found?"
I said, "We found her, but she didn't come back with me."
"Why?"
I said, "Because she also has some troublesome things to deal with in Hangzhou. Actually, I came back this time to find someone to help her, but I guess I can't help her, so I can only go back alone."
The little girl said, "I'll go with Brother Xiaonan then. I haven't seen Sister Wu Shuang in a long time."
I hesitated, unsure whether I should agree, because Hangzhou is still very dangerous, and I didn't want this girl to take any risks.
