After Biyuan's people retreated, we didn't rush back to the school. After all, no one knew if Biyuan had continued to ambush us in the area, so we decided to wait until tomorrow to check the situation. We'll just make do here for the night.
But I can't sleep right now because too many questions are swirling in my head.
what is going on?
Why did Biyuan's troops go directly to attack Jiangbei instead of attacking the school?
And what about Su Mu? Only Chu Yu can probably answer all these questions.
I tried to get to the bottom of things from Chu Yu, but she insisted on going to sleep and wouldn't explain, which left me feeling conflicted. In the end, she even hid herself away, leaving Wang Xintong's alternate personality to appear in the outside world.
I sighed and could only tell her to go to sleep.
Du Xu, watching helplessly, said, "Forget about her. Since she wants to sleep, it means there's nothing else going to happen. As for what exactly happened, we'll find out tomorrow."
"That's all we can do," I said helplessly. "By the way, what about Fan Bin? What's he doing now..."
Du Xu said, "I tied him up when we left the school, and Chu Yu told me to do it. As for why, I don't know. I'll have to ask Chu Yu tomorrow."
I nodded and said, "Yeah, we can only wait until tomorrow. This girl is really something, deliberately hiding her actions from me. Do you think all smart people like her have this problem? They like to act behind people's backs? No, I should say that we ordinary people are their pawns."
Du Xu smiled wryly, patted my shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it, we'll know the results tomorrow."
...
The next morning, I sat on the floor-to-ceiling window, yawning, with dark circles under my eyes.
I haven't slept all night, and my head is a complete mess. I stared at the school all night, and now that it's dawn, I'm yawning constantly.
Around 7 a.m.
Du Xu yawned and came over, patted my shoulder, and said, "Chu Yu wants us to go to the rooftop, let's go."
I looked up at Du Xu, who was startled when he saw my expression. "Damn, Lu Xiaonan, you didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"
My brows furrowed and my forehead was covered in black lines. I waved my hand, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the rooftop."
Du Xu pulled me aside, worriedly saying, "Hey, is this really okay? You haven't slept all night. What if you fall asleep on the rooftop? Why don't you rest for a bit?"
I patted my cheeks, both sides, then rubbed my eyes and said, "It's okay. I used to work 24-hour shifts at the hospital, and sometimes even 48-hour shifts. I'm used to it. I probably haven't even worked 24 hours yet. It's okay, I can handle it."
Du Xu was skeptical, but he didn't stop me.
When we got to the rooftop, we saw Chu Yu and Huang Yiyang looking towards the school through binoculars.
After we arrived, Chu Yu smiled and said, "You're here, come on over."
We both sighed and went to Chu Yu's side.
I said, "Speak! I've been waiting all night. You have to give me an answer today. Damn it, I was all ready to kill someone yesterday, and then you pull this on me? Is this appropriate?!"
Chu Yu glanced at me and asked, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
I closed my eyes and angrily said, "No."
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow: "If you're angry, then you're angry. Why won't you admit it? You're so arrogant."
"..." My mind was racing with a million thoughts. Me, arrogant?! You're the arrogant one! Your whole family is arrogant!
Chu Yu said, "Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Actually, the plan is very simple. Let me explain it to you from the beginning."
Chu Yu began to explain her plan.
Actually, her plan wasn't complicated; it's just that Du Xu and I only knew part of it, so we thought it was troublesome.
Chu Yu had already deduced from the beginning that Biyuan would definitely split into two groups in this operation, with the main force going to launch a surprise attack on Jiangbei, while the school group would only serve as a backup.
From the very beginning, Chu Yu knew that Bi Yuan no longer trusted Fan Bin, the mole. So the plan she told us was just an act for Fan Bin to see. However, in order to make the act more realistic, she could only tell us a plan that was not part of the actual plan.
As for Su Mu, Chu Yu actually contacted Su Mu once after I got to know him. For the sake of Jiangbei's safety, Su Mu will definitely choose to return to Jiangbei.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Fan Bin, the mole, provided false information last time, causing heavy losses to Biyuan's people. If Biyuan were to believe the information he provides this time, it would be foolish.
It was this reverse thinking that allowed Chu Yu to deduce Bi Yuan's actions, which made Jiangbei safe and caused Bi Yuan to suffer heavy losses once again.
I guess Li Shujiang is having a bit of a hard time this time.
He must be feeling pretty bad after being thwarted twice in a row.
After Chu Yu finished explaining his plan, he spread his hands and said to us, "So, that's the plan."
I sighed and said, "People like you are really terrifying. Why make a perfectly good plan go through so many twists and turns? Is it really necessary?"
Chu Yu said, "Is there any detour? I just lied to you and Du Xu. Everything else seems to be going according to my plan, and nothing has gone wrong."
I said, "I know, I know, you didn't make a mistake, it's just that I'm not used to it."
Chu Yu smiled, "That's because you're too stupid."
I said, "Can you please not do this again? Can you just tell me what your plans are? I feel very insecure if you keep things from me like this."
Chu Yu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, alright, I've already told you everything. But after this plan is over, Biyuan will definitely rest for a while and won't act impulsively again. As for this mole, do you two have any ideas? If not, leave it to me. I just want to use him to test Biyuan's current attitude."
Du Xu and I both had no objection to this.
However, I still said, "I can give him to you, but please don't kill him."
Chu Yu looked at me. "What, do you have a relationship with him? Don't want him to die?"
I shook my head and said, "I want to kill him myself after I've used him. Du Xu, I hope you haven't done anything like that."
Du Xu opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, and finally sighed, saying, "Alright, this kid, I didn't expect him to do something like this. After this is over, I'll leave it to you to handle."
Thanks.
I want to kill Fan Bin with my own hands because Zhang Zhihao died because of him, the traitor!
