Chapter 756 Dragon Lake Men
"So, so... this is your place too?" Old Guang was a little confused.
I thought about it for a moment, and realized that this place was actually Wu Shuang's territory, but there was no real difference. I smiled and said, "I guess so."
Lao Guang and Yao Fei exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "No problem, we'll join in. You tell us what you want us to say."
I said, "Right now, you don't need to do anything. Just keep a low profile. This is something you keep to yourselves. Don't tell anyone else for now. When the time comes, I hope you'll be on our side, okay?"
Lao Guang said, "No problem. No matter what, we will always stand by your side."
I don't know if Lao Guang is telling the truth, but judging from their expressions, it seems like he's not. After all, we were in the same boat before, and now they're choosing sides. It would be a bit much if they chose Longhu instead of me. Besides, they've seen the strength I've shown so far; staying is the wise choice.
Their issue was resolved, and I didn't dwell on it too much. The two of them didn't leave today; instead, they stayed here.
Du Xu went to Longhu to discuss the two small communities with the other party's leader and returned two hours later.
He brought us some good news.
"Longfor has finalized the plan. They will send people to the two locations to negotiate tonight. If anyone disagrees, they will take action."
Wu Shuang said, "Negotiation? Isn't it just about taking action? What if the two places agree to the negotiations?"
Pu Weichao said, "Don't rush, I don't believe they will agree. Even if they do, it will only be a superficial agreement. They will definitely be thinking about how to leave Hangzhou, or even how to get rid of Longhu. They might even ask us for help. Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, let's split into two groups tonight and go check it out."
That's all we can do now.
The choice of those two small communities is crucial to our next plan. However, I think even if those two communities agree to Longfor's proposal, Pu Weichao will probably find a way to sabotage it. After all, he can't just stand by and watch Longfor's power grow stronger.
...
Night falls.
We split into two groups and went to the two small communities. I naturally went with Wu Shuang. We arrived at the small community on the west side of Longhu District. This place is already close to the edge of Longhu District. And this place is indeed small. It is basically a house in a community, surrounded by a circle, and people live inside.
Wu Shuang told me that only about thirty people live here, which is not even as big as the building where Lao Guang lives.
On the other side, Du Xu and Pu Weichao went over, but we don't know what the situation was like on their end.
Du Xu told us that Longhu's people would arrive at 9 PM to negotiate with them, but it's already 9 PM and Longhu's people haven't shown up yet.
"Could they have gotten 'lost'?" I joked.
Wu Shuang took it seriously. "How could they possibly be 'lost'? They certainly know where this place is. They might be observing the surroundings just like us."
I felt a little helpless, gave an awkward laugh, and stopped talking, because Longhu's people showed up at that moment.
They drove here. Longhu is indeed quite far from here. It took us a full hour to get here, so it's normal for them to drive. There were a total of ten people who came to visit, which is about a third of the total number of visitors here.
I'm very curious about how they will treat them.
The leader knocked on the door, and someone from the small community came and opened it. Seeing the people outside with guns, he was puzzled as to what they were doing there.
I stared intently at the doorway. Because we were quite far away, I couldn't hear what the people at the door were saying. I only saw that after a short while, the people inside let the people outside go in. Of the nine people outside, only three went in. The rest stayed outside and didn't go in. Then they went into the inner room, and we could no longer see the rest of them.
Wu Shuang said, "Should we go over there and eavesdrop?"
I said, "There's no need. We can go over there after they leave. There's no need to take the risk."
"I'll listen to you."
I smiled slightly and said nothing more.
The people from Longhu went inside for about ten minutes and then came out quickly.
Then, we saw the community leader, with a smile on his face, seeing off the Longhu team. After the Longhu team left, we saw them hurriedly close the door, their faces drooping, seemingly very displeased.
Wu Shuang and I exchanged a glance; we had similar thoughts.
Afterwards, we went down from where we had seen them and came to the wall behind them. Through the window, we could hear them discussing something inside.
"You guys heard what that guy from Longhu said earlier. What are your thoughts? Do we really want to join them?"
"Let's join. I don't think we have any other choice now. What if they really kill us if we don't join? Do you think we can escape?"
“I don’t think we should join. Once we join, we’ll lose our freedom. We can just leave here. Why should we listen to them?”
“Yeah, boss, why do we have to listen to them?”
Suddenly, a quarrel broke out in the room.
Wu Shuang and I are a bit conflicted.
"Stop arguing!" the leader inside said. "Whether we join or not, there's no point in discussing it now. No matter what we choose, this peaceful life is impossible. It's getting late, let's go to sleep first, and we'll discuss it again tomorrow morning. Anyway, they gave us three days, that's enough."
Three days?
When Wu Shuang and I heard that they weren't going to discuss it anymore, we decided to leave the place and return to the large community.
Not long after we returned, Pu Weichao and Du Xu also came back.
After exchanging information, they found that the two communities were quite similar and were both considering joining Longfor.
Pu Weichao said, "How about this, we'll go directly to those two places tomorrow morning to make contact with them, and then tell them about Longhu's situation, and how Longhu wants to utilize them..."
Pu Weichao fabricated a reason, a very reasonable one, which was very suitable for deceiving these two small communities.
So that's what we plan to do tomorrow.
