#356 - Chapter 356 Just Follow the Plan

"Are you not afraid?" Sparrow Heart asked.

"I was afraid at first, but I'm not anymore," Li Xu said with a smile.

"Oh? What makes Leader Li say that?" Sparrow Heart was curious.

"I think the fact that I'm still alive is the answer," Li Xu said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Leader Li sees things very clearly," Sparrow Heart nodded, complimenting him.

"Thank you, Mayor Sparrow, for the praise. Is there anything I can do for you?" Li Xu really saw things clearly and knew his place.

"I want you to help me put on a show..." Thereupon, Sparrow Heart explained his plan.

"Mayor Sparrow, you're aiming high!" Li Xu was a little surprised after listening.

"This is nothing. You'll understand later. Now, answer me, what's your decision?" Sparrow Heart said.

"Looks like I don't have a choice," Li Xu agreed.

"Good. After it's done, Creek Lake will still be yours," Sparrow Heart said.

......

With everything arranged, Sparrow Heart brought Wu Zhan and the captured Li Xu back to the South Gully Settlement.

The sun was about to set.

"Mayor Sparrow, you're back so soon? It's okay, this matter can't be done in a day or two," Lun Jianian said sarcastically, assuming Sparrow Heart had failed.

He didn't really expect Sparrow Heart to take Creek Lake. This was just an excuse to refuse him from settling in South Gully.

"Mayor Lun, Creek Lake hasn't been taken yet, but I brought Li Xu back for you," Sparrow Heart said calmly.

"Not taken... What? What did you say? You captured Li Xu?" Lun Jianian was about to mock him again, but quickly realized the problem.

"That's right. He's outside. Do you want to bring him in to take a look?" Sparrow Heart chuckled.

Lun Jianian looked at Wu Zhan, who nodded to indicate it was true.

"Bring him in!" Lun Jianian's expression became serious.

"Let me go! Let me go! Lun Jianian, you old geezer, you actually dare to plot against me!" Li Xu started shouting as soon as he entered the door, seemingly putting on a good show.

Lun Jianian was overjoyed to see that it was really Li Xu, and he didn't care what he was shouting.

"Hahaha, Mayor Sparrow really has the means. You solved the problem that gave me the biggest headache in half a day."

"Luck! All thanks to luck. Mayor Lun, now that Li Xu has been captured, I don't need to handle the matter of taking back the Creek Lake Settlement, right?" Sparrow Heart asked.

Lun Jianian naturally understood what this sentence meant.

He wouldn't feel relieved letting Sparrow Heart take over the settlement.

"Naturally, there's no need to trouble Mayor Sparrow with such a small matter," Lun Jianian said with a smile.

"Then the thing you promised...?" Sparrow Heart reminded him.

"That's easy. After I take over Creek Lake, South Gully will be yours to settle in!" Lun Jianian said generously.

"That's really too kind of you. Mayor Lun, now that Li Xu has been captured, Creek Lake might be in chaos at any time. I suggest you send someone over there as soon as possible, lest things change," Sparrow Heart wanted to end things here as soon as possible so he could continue to Fengtian.

"Mayor Sparrow is right. Little Wu, make arrangements and have Ning'er take people over there first thing tomorrow morning," Lun Jianian instructed.

"Okay, Mayor Lun, I'll go now," Wu Zhan nodded in response, then turned and left.

"Mayor Lun, now that things have been settled, I'll go back first. I'll come back after you've made arrangements," Sparrow Heart bid farewell.

"Mayor Sparrow, take care," Lun Jianian didn't stand on ceremony with him.

In his opinion, Sparrow Heart was just a stray dog, and there was no need to be polite.

After Sparrow Heart left, Lun Jianian sent Wu Zhan to North Gully Settlement overnight.

But he never expected that Wu Zhan had already been bought over by Sparrow Heart.

"Mayor Sparrow, Lun Jianian wants to harm you!" Wu Zhan didn't go to North Gully and came to Sparrow Heart first.

"Oh? Don't worry, tell me slowly," Sparrow Heart wasn't in a hurry.

"It's like this. Lun Jianian plans to have North Gully send people to feign an attack on South Gully Settlement tomorrow. If that happens, you won't be able to take over," Wu Zhan explained.

"What's there to be nervous about? With their few broken guns, they dare to fight with me?" Sparrow Heart didn't care.

"That's one thing. He also..." Wu Zhan was embarrassed to say it.

"Also what?" Sparrow Heart asked.

"He also asked me to secretly sprinkle blood where you're resting tonight to attract zombies," Wu Zhan said the dirty plan with his eyes closed.

"Lun Jianian, ah, Lun Jianian, he's really ruthless!" Sparrow Heart shook his head and sighed, but it was clear that he was still very calm.

"Then what do we do next?" Wu Zhan asked.

"We still have to go to North Gully. We'll take the opportunity to clean up that side as well," Sparrow Heart replied.

"But we might not have enough manpower, right?" Wu Zhan thought Sparrow Heart only had about a thousand people.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be enough manpower. Just act according to the plan, and I'll take care of the rest," Sparrow Heart didn't reveal his bottom line to him.

"Alright then!" Wu Zhan didn't say anything more.

Early the next morning, North Gully Settlement sent more than two thousand people towards South Gully.

At the same time, Lun Jianian's son, Lun Yongning, led dozens of people towards Creek Lake in a great hurry.
