Chapter 755 Subduing Lao Guang and His Group
The moment he finished speaking, Wu Shuang glared at him. Not only Wu Shuang, but also me and Pu Weichao glared at him. He was startled and then said tremblingly, "Did I...did I say something wrong?"
Wu Shuang wasn't angry; after all, ignorance is no excuse. Regarding the Longhu matter, she sighed and said, "No."
"If there were no conflict between the people of Longhu and us, you're not wrong. We could easily make them submit to us and bring them under our control. But unfortunately, we have a conflict. They wiped out all my people before, and I don't want to see them alive. Besides, you've had dealings with those people in Longhu before, don't you know what kind of people they are? Do you think it's possible to make them submit?"
"Impossible..." the person replied.
Wu Shuang continued, "Since it's impossible, and war will break out no matter what, it's better to be direct and eliminate them, so as not to give them any opportunity to take advantage."
Wu Shuang was determined to destroy Longhu, and no amount of opposition could change that. In reality, they were all from Jiajiang and didn't care about the matter. Although they were ordered to unify Hangzhou, none of them wanted to lose their lives. As a result, it was clear that no one wanted to get involved.
But it doesn't matter. I never intended for them to get involved. We are enough to deal with Longhu.
The meeting ended quickly, and at that point, only the five of us remained in the conference room.
Pu Weichao told Yu Sheng to close the door and said, "Wu Shuang, why did you tell those people about this? If you want to make a plan, just a few of us are enough. There's no need to notify them."
Wu Shuang looked at Pu Weichao and said, "I did this just to test those people's situation, to see if they were willing to help, and then to see if they would leak this information."
I was momentarily stunned. Wow, that's impressive. So, besides discussing the plan, was another reason for this meeting to test the loyalty of those people?
Pu Weichao nodded. "I understand what you mean. Then let's not waste any more time. I'll just tell you the plan I was thinking of."
I looked at him speechlessly. Was he even human? He had already made plans to get along with me in such a short time?
Wu Shuang was also surprised, "Yes, that's fine."
Pu Weichao said, "I have already learned about the situation here. Although there are hundreds of people here, they don't have many weapons. I don't think Su Mu would give you too many weapons, right?"
"Yes, he didn't give me much."
"But that's enough for you. Besides that, if you want to get rid of Longhu, the first thing you should do is deal with those small factions in the Longhu District."
“That’s simple, we’ll cooperate. If that doesn’t work, we’ll force it,” Wu Shuang said.
Pu Weichao shook his head. "No, we can't cooperate. If we cooperate, we'll lose our original advantage. We need to take a hard line and force them to join."
Wu Shuang was a little confused. "But wouldn't taking a direct, forceful approach backfire?"
Pu Weichao smiled and said, "Who said we need to force it?"
Wu Shuang was surprised, "You mean you want Longhu's people to go over there and fight them head-on? And then we'll 'intervene' in the process?"
Pu Weichao nodded, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Since these small forces are unwilling to join you and instead choose to negotiate with you in the form of cooperation, it's obvious that they want to be independent and don't want to have anything to do with any force. But right now, this situation is unrealistic. So the best way is to have Longhu's people go and take action against them, and then we can secretly contact them and bring them in."
Wu Shuang said, "No problem. Du Xu, you can talk to the people at Longhu later. I think they won't refuse."
"Okay, no problem." Du Xu smiled.
I sat to the side, listening to the two of them discuss their plans. I have to say, Pu Weichao is indeed Pu Weichao; his mind works much faster than the average person's.
Not long after, he told us the whole process of the plan. We all felt that the plan would definitely succeed because no matter what Longhu did next, they would have no way to resist. As long as they went to Linshan, the Binhai District would start to surround them. They would have no chance to run away.
...
After the plan was officially finalized, Du Xu went to Longhu to begin negotiations with the leaders of Longhu.
Longhu will not object to their suggestions now, but it will definitely be wary. Pu Weichao said when they were discussing the plan that Longhu may still trust Du Xu now, mainly because Du Xu's side does not have much ability to resist. However, if Du Xu's side shows strength, Longhu will definitely not let it go unchecked.
It's quite possible that they'll intervene in this situation at that time.
Therefore, everything still needs to be kept low-key.
As long as our strength isn't revealed, Longhu won't have any doubts, which will give us more time to prepare.
Now that the plan is finalized, it's time to get started.
Du Xu went to Longhu and began to persuade the leader of Longhu to take action against two smaller forces.
As for me, I went up to Lao Guang and Yao Fei.
When they saw me, they were very excited and immediately pulled me into a corner to ask me all sorts of questions.
I was a little amused and exasperated by their question. After all, they didn't know that I knew Du Xu before we came here, and they panicked a bit after discovering that.
I said, "I'll tell you about this later. I need to ask you some questions now, and I hope you can answer me truthfully."
Old Guang asked, "What is it?"
I said, "Now, do the people in your building all listen to the two of you?"
Lao Guang nodded and said, "More or less, including Fan Xian, the three of us."
I said, "That's good. Since they listen to you, are you willing to join them here?"
"Join this? What does that mean?"
"It means exactly what it says: you all need to join us here, but your living arrangements will remain unchanged for now. Once you agree, don't spread this around. So, agree or not?"
"We agree without any problem, and the people in the building won't object, but why? Why are we suddenly being asked to join in?"
I said, “It’s very simple. I want to unify the entire city of Hangzhou. As for the leader here, he is my friend. He came from Jiajiang. Do you remember? Jiajiang is mine.”
