We all looked into the distance, and suddenly several car headlights lit up, illuminating everything around us.
"Yu Sheng is here." Pu Weichao smiled.
"Well, it's finally here." I gave a wry smile.
It was almost nine o'clock when Yu Sheng finally arrived with his men. The headlights quickly spread out, and in the distance, a whole row of headlights and numerous vehicles completely surrounded Su Mu.
I was a little surprised. "How many people have come?"
"I estimate there are a lot of people." Pu Weichao was also surprised. The number of vehicles in front of him was already difficult to estimate. They were able to form an entire encirclement, completely surrounding all of Su Mu's men. This showed just how many people there were.
Although Yu Sheng shouted "Attack!", he did not attack directly. Instead, he imitated Su Mu and shouted through a megaphone, "Pu Weichao, I'm not late, am I? Lu Xiaonan is still alive, right?"
Pu Weichao laughed and said, "You're not late, on the contrary, you've arrived just in time. Of course Lu Xiaonan is alive."
Yu Sheng said, "That's good, that's good. You don't know, his wife kept urging me before I left. If he died, I wouldn't be able to explain myself. Oh, by the way, Lu Xiaonan, your wife asked me to pass on a message to you. She said, 'You absolutely cannot die. If you die, I'll kill everyone in the entire Delta region!'"
Yu Sheng imitated Wu Shuang's speech in a very effeminate and disgusting way, but his words had a certain domineering air about them.
Pu Weichao laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's leave this kind of thing for after this is over."
Okay.
Pu Weichao looked at the car below and said, "Su Mu, what do you plan to do now? Surrender? Or 'commit suicide'?"
Su Mu looked around at everyone and waited a long time before speaking again, "I didn't expect you to bring people from Hangzhou here. Don't you think it's inappropriate to do this?"
Pu Weichao sneered, "First, the people from Hangzhou weren't brought here by me, but by Lu Xiaonan. Second, the whole plan is basically Lu Xiaonan's plan. I didn't get involved in anything; I just helped him direct the operation. So the whole thing has nothing to do with me. In essence, you lost to Lu Xiaonan."
Su Mu sneered, "Do you think I don't have any backup plans?"
Pu Weichao said, "If you're talking about the resort, then I think you really have no backup plan. I had everyone at the resort evacuated a long time ago. I know you're probably searching for the trail we left behind, but you definitely won't find it because it's a fake trail. As for where the people at the resort are now, I won't tell you."
Su Mu remained silent, and no one knew what he was doing.
He now has no chance to resist. All his men are surrounded. If he tries to resist, he will be killed. I don't want him to resist. After all, if he surrenders, he will have a chance to live. If he resists, he will only die.
After waiting for a long time, I saw him appear in the firelight, which illuminated his figure. He was holding a megaphone and shouted, "Alright, I admit defeat. When it comes to scheming, I can't outsmart you. You can kill me, but please spare the people behind me. They were just following my orders and had no other intentions. Anyway, I have already surrendered."
Seeing him surrender, I breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't die, and this farce was finally over.
Pu Weichao had his men go over and tie him up. As for his unit, after Su Mu gave the order, everyone laid down their weapons and accepted our temporary custody.
There's no other way; it's best to keep these people under control for now. If we let them leave now, they might just grab their weapons and come back. So, until we're absolutely sure it's safe, it's better to be cautious.
I approached Su Mu, and he looked at me and said, "This time I have indeed fallen into your hands, but it's alright, at least you won't kill me."
I sighed and said, "Yes, I won't kill you, but I also hope you can stop being so ambitious."
"No matter how big you are, you're still bigger. If it weren't for your good luck, I wouldn't have lost this time."
I said, "No one can win forever. When it's time to end, it should end. If you keep trying to win, one day you'll lose your life."
Su Mu smiled and didn't say anything more to me.
After it was all over, I suddenly felt much lighter.
As for what will happen to this group, I don't know. Let Pu Weichao handle it. I'm sure he'll give them a satisfactory result.
...
Three days after the incident ended, I returned to the dam and met with Xu Le.
"Have you sorted things out on your end?" Xu Le asked bluntly.
I said, "It's all settled. What about Mingzhu City? How's it going there? Is it settled too?"
Xu Le nodded and said, "Yes, it's all settled now. That area is practically my territory now, but it's almost crippled and still needs development, so let's take it slow and there's no rush."
I wasn't concerned about that and said, "So, our cooperation can continue, right?"
Xu Le said, "Absolutely no problem. As long as you don't change your mind, there won't be any issues for me."
"That's good."
I don't know what kind of person Xu Le is, after all, I haven't known him for very long. I don't know if he will keep his promise in the future, I can only hope.
...
Two weeks later, the Delta Regional Committee, chaired by Pu Weichao, was officially established. Each of the five communities sent one member, and Xu Le's people established a new community, making a total of five communities including the resort.
The establishment of the committee signifies that the Delta region has officially entered a unified phase. Su Mu is still imprisoned, but everyone has treated him well, and he is expected to be released in a month or two.
I stood in the villa of the resort, looking at the calm lake.
Wu Shuangzhan, standing beside me, smiled and said, "Actually, there's something I should have told you half a month ago, but I saw that you've been too busy these past two weeks, so I didn't say much."
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
"I am pregnant."
...
Nine months later, my child was born, a girl, and I named her Lu Xiaobei.
(It's over. I don't want to say much more. There won't be any author's notes or anything like that. Lu Xiaonan's life will continue, but I don't know what the future holds. You can imagine for yourselves. Let's talk about the new book. It's called "Zero Different Files," written under the pen name Lu Tingnan. It's first published on Qidian. You can find it by searching for it on Qidian. It's already over 200,000 words long, quite substantial. If you're interested, you can check it out.)
