Qiu Bai couldn't get past his own hurdle!
This was also why he was unhappy the last time Du Yun found him. If it weren't for Li Zhonglou, Qiu Bai wouldn't want to say another word to him now!
And when Du Yun heard that those two had actually used him to deal with Li Zhonglou, he instantly understood what Li Zhonglou meant.
"So you're actually not a group?"
Li Zhonglou nodded and said, "You could say that. As for more, I can't reveal it for now. You just need to understand one thing: my grandfather and I have a relationship of mutual benefit. Letting him agree to me is mutually beneficial."
Du Yun immediately fell silent.
He had to rely on himself to judge whether what Li Zhonglou said was true or false.
Li Zhonglou's intention had always been very clear: he wanted Du Tian to come out of seclusion for him, not for the General Bureau. However, Du Yun had now thought of a contradiction.
"Brother Lou Zhong, didn't you just say that going with the General Bureau would cause trouble, and refusing would also cause trouble? Then why wouldn't there be trouble if he agreed to go with you?"
Du Yun stared intently into Li Zhonglou's eyes after speaking, as if he would capture the slightest lie the moment it was spoken!
Li Zhonglou smiled confidently, "It's not that there won't be trouble if he agrees with me, but I will shield your grandfather. If he chooses to go with me, he only needs to complete the tasks I arrange, and nothing else will concern him!"
Dominant, confident!
Du Dong's heart stirred. If this were really the case, then it was clearly more convincing to persuade his grandfather to go with the person in front of him.
However, all of this was based on Li Zhonglou's words being true!
The problem had circled back to this point after all.
After thinking for a moment, Du Yun said directly, "Brother Lou Zhong, I only believe now that you are not with those two, but that doesn't mean you don't have ulterior motives towards my grandfather."
Du Yun stared directly into Li Zhonglou's eyes, his meaning already very clear: I haven't been given enough peace of mind yet!
However, this time Li Zhonglou did not comply.
"Brother Du Yun, I've said all I can. The final choice is up to you."
Du Yun fell into a dilemma.
Qiu Bai also stopped speaking. He didn't have a good impression of Du Yun in the first place, and he didn't care what the other party did.
Silence filled the ward.
After a while, seeing that Du Yun still couldn't make a decision, Li Zhonglou sighed and said, "I think you don't need to agonize over it too much. As I said, if you can't figure it out yourself, you can discuss it with your grandfather."
"The one who truly makes the decision is never you."
As the saying goes, a single word can resolve a thousand worries. Du Yun's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.
"I understand! Please let me consider this further!"
Li Zhonglou nodded. Although Du Yun was a bit slow in some aspects, he was still a smart person.
However, as he was leaving, he still emphasized.
"You must not say anything about Qiu Bai's matter; it also concerns his life safety."
Du Yun nodded seriously, and then the two left the hospital.
After parting ways, Li Zhonglou soon received a call from Su Qi.
"Brother Lou Zhong, I have a plan. Come over first."
It was already noon by the time Li Zhonglou arrived at Su Qi and the other two's residence.
The weather wasn't good today. Heavy, dark clouds covered the sky, obscuring the sunlight, giving people a sense of oppression.
Li Zhonglou pushed open the door, and the three of them were sitting on the floor inside.
Practitioners generally didn't mind the environment, and Li Zhonglou also sat down on the floor.
"What plan?"
Li Zhonglou went straight to the point, but Tian You spoke up, "Let the captain tell you about your mission first."
Yesterday, he had only passed one of the tests, and Li Zhonglou had not yet officially joined the Divine Envoy Organization. However, it had been agreed yesterday that the mission was to obtain Elder Tie's Star Stone.
Were they bringing it up again now? Had there been a change?
Li Zhonglou cast his gaze towards Da Gan, who always wore a faint smile.
The latter's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly, "The mission to join the organization hasn't changed, but a temporary one has been added. The higher-ups hope you can cooperate with these two to invite Du Tian out of Wushan Town."
Li Zhonglou raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Are we going to pull him into our organization?"
The "our organization" made the three smile knowingly, but they didn't mention it. Da Gan shook his head, "Du Tian is not stable yet, so we can't rush into getting him into the organization."
"Meaning, first, let him agree to the General Bureau's invitation?"
Da Gan nodded.
"Why must he leave Wushan Town?"
This was the question Li Zhonglou truly wanted to ask.
From the very beginning, when Da Gan had first arrived, he had expressed this idea. Li Zhonglou couldn't understand it, because he felt that this Divine Envoy Organization didn't seem to want Du Tian himself!
However, Da Gan did not directly answer this question.
"This is a decision from above, and I'm not very clear about it. Just follow the instructions."
Li Zhonglou fell silent.
Su Qi thought Li Zhonglou was worrying too much and couldn't help but say, "Brother Lou Zhong, Captain isn't deliberately hiding it. We really don't know why the higher-ups made this decision."
Li Zhonglou shook his head, "That's not what I'm thinking about."
Tian You narrowed his eyes, "Brother Lou Zhong, are you afraid of him?"
The three of them had discussed this before. Li Zhonglou had always claimed that he was just an ordinary person and didn't want to get truly involved, as almost everyone was in the circle. Although Du Tian wasn't, he could be surrounded by a sea of experts!
Tian You could understand Li Zhonglou's thoughts, but at this moment, it wasn't up to him to consider too much. Among the four, only Li Zhonglou was an ordinary person and the most suitable candidate to approach Du Tian.
However, Li Zhonglou still shook his head.
Su Qi and Tian You exchanged glances and said in unison, "Then what is Brother Lou Zhong worried about?"
Li Zhonglou then said, "It's not other issues. I think using the method of inviting him to the General Bureau to get him to leave might not work."
What the three of them didn't know was that at this moment, Li Zhonglou appeared to be solemnly worried, but in reality, he was overjoyed internally!
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to steer the conversation in this direction, but he never expected that they would do it themselves without him having to think too much!
The three of them froze and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Li Zhonglou suppressed his inner joy, frowning tightly, "I've dealt with him several times, and Du Tian likely has many unknown secrets.
"And once he joins the General Bureau, his background will at least be investigated. So, the second time I went to see him, I felt that his impression of the General Bureau wasn't good."
Da Gan also frowned and said, "Then, do you mean you want to directly pull him into our organization?"
"No."
At these words, the three became even more confused.
Not joining the General Bureau, nor joining their organization?
