Chapter 694 The So-Called War
The assassinations went smoothly, much smoother than I had imagined. The next four groups, a total of twelve people, were all successfully assassinated; not a single one was left alive. No accidents occurred during the operation. Initially, the people around were surprised by the killings, but upon seeing that it was Su Mu who was committing them, they felt hopeful and began helping to hide the bodies.
So, by now, sixteen people have died in the assassination attempt.
The guard said, "There should be three more groups patrolling outside, all near the main gate. Our men have almost finished their patrols. If we were to deal with those three groups, it would probably be very dangerous."
Su Mu said, "No rush, take your time. As long as we confirm that their three groups are still at the main gate, that's fine. Now, you all need to quickly gather the remaining patrolmen and have them meet at the front gate."
The guard was surprised to hear this. "Chief Su, are you planning to start a war right away?"
Su Mu said, "I guess so. In the current situation, it's practically the same as going to war. Do you really want to wait any longer? The sooner we resolve the Jiangbei issue, the sooner it will end, so that everyone won't have to suffer anymore."
The guard had no objection to these words, but he was still a little scared, so he eventually turned around and went with his companion to inform others.
I stood beside Su Mu, watching the guards run away, and said, "Do you think they can be trusted?"
Su Mu said, "I don't know, but at least they trust me now, so I will trust them too."
I smiled slightly. "It seems that there were still some major misunderstandings in our previous plan. In fact, they trust you more than me. After all, you are the creator of Jiangbei and have been the de facto ruler of Jiangbei for the past year. Such a position is something I cannot compare to."
Su Mu said, "I didn't expect them to trust me so much, but it's good that way, it saves us a lot of trouble."
I raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, it certainly saved me a lot of trouble; at least I'm much more relaxed now."
Su Mu smiled and said, "It's easy now, but things might get busy soon. If a war really breaks out, a lot of people will probably die."
I said, "That's inevitable; people always die in war."
"That's true, people always die in war."
This sounds somewhat helpless, but it is indeed the case. Once we have a certain amount of power, our desires will begin to swell. We always want to get better and more things, which will incite conflicts, lead to war, and then death will be inevitable.
Although we try our best to avoid it and be good people, our hands are already stained with countless lives.
Su Mu said, "The remaining three teams are a bit troublesome. They are very close by. If we try to assassinate them by force, they will definitely be discovered by the other teams."
I said, "Hmm, it seems we have to do it all at the same time, but if we do it all at the same time, the risk is too high."
Su Mu frowned and said, "This is really troublesome. No matter what we do, we're likely to be exposed."
I looked at him in surprise and said, "But didn't we come here to expose ourselves? They're looking for us here because we've been exposed. If we hadn't been exposed, they probably wouldn't have sent anyone to look for us."
Su Mu was taken aback. "Uh, you mean we should just go over there and kill them later? We don't care about being exposed?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah, why worry so much? We're here to liberate Jiangbei. What's the point of assassinations if we don't stand up? Anyway, there are only these three groups left outside. As long as we take them out, there shouldn't be any problems. Then, we just need to let the main force in and fight those idiots in the building. Who do you think will win and who will lose?"
Su Mu realized what he'd done and slapped his forehead: "Oh yeah, how could I forget? We have a lot of people!"
I gave a wry smile. "So, let's just wait and see. We'll start our operation once those people arrive."
We waited here for a short while, and all our own men patrolling around came over with the same guard from before. They were very careful as they came over, all crouching and crawling forward, without exposing themselves at all. The three teams ahead of us did not notice them either.
After the guard returned, he said to us, "The people are here, what do we do now?"
Su Mu said, "Just ambush them. Once you get close, assassinate them without holding back."
The guard replied, "Okay, I understand."
Afterward, the guard told the others about the plan. I looked at their expressions, and they all seemed surprised and skeptical of this radical plan, and even somewhat resistant to it.
Fortunately, there are still people willing to do it.
Seeing their expressions, Su Mu understood that not everyone was willing to go and kill. After all, some people were afraid of death, afraid that the assassination would fail and they would be killed themselves.
Su Mu could only say, "Those who want to go can follow me, and those who don't can stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, remember to remind me."
Subsequently, those who were willing to go followed in Su Mu's footsteps. Because everyone was crouching as they went, the three teams ahead of them basically did not notice their presence.
In less than two minutes, Su Mu's team had reached the leftmost group, my team had reached the rightmost group, and the guards' team had reached the middle.
Immediately afterward, Su Mu made his move, and the moment we saw him do so, we joined in.
The four people in front of us all had their backs to us. In addition, we acted swiftly and decisively, without making a sound. It was basically a one-hit kill. So after we killed three people, the guy in front did not notice what was happening behind him.
So I quickly went up to him and killed him too.
Bang!
Just when we thought things were going well, gunshots suddenly rang out from Su Mu's side, which startled us.
I turned my head and saw that Su Mu had been shot. I quickly pulled out my pistol and fired a shot at the guy who had fired the shot.
After killing him, I glanced at the central building and saw that the guards there had reacted and hurriedly fired three shots into the air.
The signal has been sent, and Pu Weichao outside should have heard it by now.
Not long after, the gates of Jiangbei suddenly opened, and many cars came in. I saw Pu Weichao in one of those cars.
"They came really fast; it looks like they were already waiting outside." I thought to myself. Just then, gunshots suddenly rang out from the central building.
