Chapter 788 The Life We Hope For (The Finale)
In that instant, I really wanted to kill Su Mu, but he was hiding inside the car, so I couldn't make a move.
Pu Weichao patted my shoulder, and I calmed down. I said angrily, "Su Mu, you're threatening me, aren't you? Fine, go ahead and kill. If you kill one person from the resort, I'll kill a hundred people from Jiangbei. If you dare to kill ten people from the resort, I'll slaughter the entire Jiangbei. Don't think I can't do it. Let me tell you, one day I'll make you know what the price is."
"Hahaha, Lu Xiaonan, did you ever think about what kind of person you are when you said that? If it weren't for giving you face, do you think you would still be alive now?" Su Mu sneered. "Back in Jiajiang, I should have just killed you. That way, we wouldn't have all this trouble now."
I was speechless, mainly because I was angry with Su Mu.
Pu Weichao took the megaphone from my hand and said, "Su Mu, I won't waste any more words with you. If you want to fight, come on over. I'll take you on and see if you can beat me. If you want to kill people at the resort, go ahead and send your men. Do you think I'm unprepared? Jiangbei may seem like an impenetrable fortress right now, but it can't withstand problems from within. If you've got the guts, come on over. Let's have a fair fight and see who wins and who loses. If you don't dare, then get the hell out of here!"
Su Mu seemed unmoved by this, still sneering, "Pu Weichao, I've said what I needed to say. Since you've made this choice, don't blame me for being ruthless. You know the Delta region must be unified. Since you don't have the strength to unify it, then I'll do it. After all, my fist is the biggest. You don't need to provoke me. I know what you're planning. You've already laid an ambush. If I make a move, I'll probably be the one who suffers. Don't worry, we'll take it slow. I have plenty of time to wear you down and see who can outlast you."
As dusk settles in, it's actually getting late. We arrived at 4:30, and after a brief battle, it's now 5:00. Although it's still light, dusk is already falling, and it will probably be dark soon.
I don't know what Pu Weichao is planning, but Su Mu is definitely planning to wait until dark and then launch a surprise attack on Central Town. If that's the case, we'll be at a complete disadvantage. The current situation is a bit unpredictable. Pu Weichao obviously has some plans, but he won't say. I guess if I ask him, he'll only give me a rough idea.
Since you two are both going to wait, then wait and see what happens. At worst, you'll just die.
Since this is a war, death is inevitable.
Neither of them said anything more, and the situation remained deadlocked, creating a strange atmosphere.
Neither side lit a fire. Before long, night fell, and the sky was filled with the bright stars and the vast moon, so it wasn't dark at all.
The wind howled mournfully, as if foreshadowing what was about to happen.
I stood on the rooftop, enjoying the not-too-cold breeze. It was almost June, and the weather was gradually getting warmer. The evening breeze was quite cool. After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I stared at the Jiangbei troops outside and asked Pu Weichao beside me, "Can we really win?"
Pu Weichao said, "There's no need to talk nonsense like this. Whether we win or lose, people will die in the end. This was a meaningless war to begin with. We will eventually arrive too late. If we could have come back earlier, perhaps this inexplicable war would not have happened. But there's no point in talking about this now. Since it has happened, let's deal with it properly and not ask stupid questions like whether we will win."
I was a bit speechless. "Do you have some kind of plan?"
"What plan do I have?" Pu Weichao was taken aback, and said with a wry smile, "Isn't my plan just to follow your previous plan? Don't tell me that you don't know what I'm doing now."
I swallowed hard and nodded.
Pu Weichao rolled his eyes, sighed, and said, "I don't have any feelings for you anymore. From the beginning until now, I have been following the plan you specified. Regardless of whether Mingzhu City will take action, as long as we manage things here, that's fine. As for why I want to delay, it's simple: I'm waiting for Wu Shuang."
"Wait for Wu Shuang!" I exclaimed in surprise. After the initial shock, I immediately realized what had happened and slapped my forehead, feeling incredibly foolish. This plan had clearly been devised long ago, yet I had forgotten about it. It was truly inexcusable.
"Yes, as long as your wife can bring the people from Hangzhou here in time, there shouldn't be any problems. Yu Sheng should bring a lot of people with him, right?" Pu Weichao guessed.
I thought for a moment and said, "Probably."
I have no idea how many people Wu Shuang will bring, but it will definitely be a lot. Wu Shuang has already been to the resort before and learned about the strength of the three forces. If we want to defeat them, we will definitely have to bring more people. Otherwise, we will be doomed if we can't win.
Time ticked by, and Su Mu's reason for stalling was obvious: either he wanted to capture someone in the resort to threaten us, or he wanted to secretly eliminate the ambush Pu Weichao had set up around the area. Whatever his reason, he certainly wouldn't dare to make a direct move.
Procrastination is not a good thing for many people, and as it gets later and later, many people in the central town are starting to get restless.
