The bandits are all rough people; none of them are equipment manufacturers. They may use weapons once they get their hands on them, but they’re clueless about making them.
Without Huang Shou, they would be like cats without whiskers, barely able to walk, let alone run!
"Huang Shou is not that easy to appease! You may be able to stabilize him for now, but future issues are a major hassle!"
Chuan Er often dealt with Huang Shou and was more aware of his temperament. If it were so easy to solve, they would have resolved it long ago!
"Brother Chuan Er can control the villagers up in the mountains, but can’t control a single Huang Shou? Isn’t it ridiculous if word gets out!"
Gu Tong waved his hand fearlessly and said evenly, "Actually, we should change our approach! What if we really imprison Huang Shou and Zhou Li together? They’re not invincible. Even if they avoid a barrage, we can wear down their edges, and in the end, they’ll obediently follow our lead!"
"Besides, our chosen hideout is surrounded by the sea, and a supply boat comes only once a week. As long as you control the transport and emergency boats, I refuse to believe they can sprout wings and fly out!"
This statement indeed made sense, and Chuan Er was completely convinced by it...
He couldn’t help but feel that Gu Tong’s methods and ideas were flawless; what he originally perceived as the enemy’s schemes finally showed some wavering.
Similarly, this was Gu Tong’s strategy: analyzing pros and cons from Chuan Er’s perspective and handling matters with balance. Only by standing in the opponent’s shoes would he regard you as one of his own. This is the way of undercover work.
Back then, Gu Tong had infiltrated the Mafia for several years, relying on this self-taught undercover theory to survive safely! Undercover work is a profound discipline.
"I haven’t had the chance to ask your name yet, nor what position you hold beside Master Wu?"
Chuan Er finally asked this question, but he asked it in detail, leaving himself some leeway.
Gu Tong threw out the name she had used for many years. Saying it again gave her a strange sense of familiarity and an inexplicable emotion.
Going out, everyone used a code name, Chuan Er did the same, so he understood and didn’t probe further into Gu Tong’s real name.
"Then Miss Xue Tong, does Master Wu have any further instructions?"
Chuan Er was grasping at straws, to put it bluntly. He had no other option. With interference systems both on and off the mountain, he had no means to make contact, so he had to temporarily trust Xue Tong.
But even so, he hadn’t forgotten the original plan. Just that Gu Tong’s proposed method didn’t overturn their initial thoughts; he could still choose to believe it.
"For now, follow the original plan, but Devil King has escaped! The target point of the plan has changed. If he really reaches the foot of the mountain, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Gu Tong understood his thoughts and naturally would not go against the trend but go along with it.
No one in this world would change their original plan for someone else’s words, especially in matters of life and death, they trust their intuition more!
Therefore, Gu Tong was utilizing this intuition, using it so skillfully and perfectly that no one would have any reason to doubt.
Only by doing so could she truly gain trust and successfully continue undercover!
