Chapter 22: Group Action

When Scorpion Girl arrived at the meeting room, all the leaders were already there.

She came to the first seat and sat down, looking at Yu Ze, and said coldly: "Let's start"

Yu Ze nodded and projected the copy of the Lingyin Grass Organization's plan brought back by the surviving leader onto the screen.

"Linyin Grass received instructions from Lieyanghua and is preparing to organize three plans to find the current base of the Scorpion Tail Organization and eliminate the inferiors."

"These three plans are located in three locations where the upper class live. This operation will be carried out by the leaders, in teams of two, with the higher-ranking leader leading the lower-ranking leader."

Yu Ze said this and sat down next to the Scorpion Girl.

The Scorpion Girl glanced at the content on the screen, then turned her attention to the other leaders: "This operation concerns the future of the lower class, so everyone must go all out."

"According to the content displayed on the screen, almost 80% of the members of the Lingyin Grass have been placed on the plan to eliminate the inferior people, and their leader Bai Jichen will personally lead the team, so this task will be carried out by me personally."

As she spoke, the Scorpion Girl turned her attention to Xu Jingzhe, who was sitting at the last seat. "From highest to lowest, Xu Jingzhe will be cooperating with me in this operation. Li Beichuan and A Lie will be in one group, and Yu Liang and Yu Bao will be in another."

"Boss" Yubao turned around and glanced at Yuliang with disdain, "Can I change someone else's group?"

The Scorpion Girl crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back in her chair, and replied coldly, "You and Yuliang are equally strong, and the action I assigned to you is the simplest."

If Yu Ze was not responsible for guarding the base, he would be the most suitable person to replace Ali.

"We have executed many plans regarding the Lingyin Grass, and this operation is the best time to deal with the Lingyin Grass leader. This will also slow down the time it takes for them to implement their plans."

The Scorpion Girl said, looking at everyone: "Is there anything else you need to know?"

"I have..." Xu Jingzhe asked, "What are Bai Jichen's combat methods and strength?"

The Scorpion Girl thought for a moment and replied, "If there were a ranking of combat power among people, then Bai Jichen's strength would be ranked third. He is good at long-range attacks, but even better at close combat. His strength and concentration are his most obvious advantages."

"As for the other Lingyin Grass leaders you will encounter, their strength is probably outside the top ten. As long as you are more careful, your life will not be in danger."

Hearing what the Scorpion Girl said, everyone nodded in unison.

While she was speaking, someone was watching her silently.

Yu Ze looked at the Scorpion woman who was talking incessantly in front of everyone, and the feeling of being torn in his heart became more and more obvious.

From childhood to adulthood, all he saw was Yu Qingmeng's back, and what he always pursued was her back.

He still remembered the second year after Ye Lingtian was taken home by Yu Qingmeng.

That day, Yu Qingmeng put the wreath crown that she had been trying to weave for a long time on Ye Lingtian's head.

Ye Lingtian touched the wreath in surprise, his face flushed completely. He looked at Yu Qingmeng with tears in his eyes.

"Why did you suddenly give me this?" Ye Lingtian asked.

"Because... Lingtian is like a prince, always shining!" Yu Qingmeng pointed at the wreath crown on Ye Lingtian's head and said, "I wove this with Fiery Sunflowers and Cold Yin Grass."

The sunflower and the gloomy grass coexist with each other. During the day, the sunflower will open its petals to absorb sunlight, while the gloomy grass will burrow into the soil.

At night, the sunflower will tighten its petals and curl up into a ball. At this time, the Yin grass will emerge from the soil to block the moonlight for the sunflower.

What a beautiful story, but Yu Wuming is neither the Sunflower nor the Shady Grass, he is just a thief hiding in the shadows.

When he saw the two of them laughing and holding each other's hands, he could only hide in the corner and hold tightly the failed work he had woven from Yu Qingmeng.

From beginning to end, all he saw was Yu Qingmeng's back, watching her and Ye Lingtian gradually develop feelings for each other, watching her practice hard alone, and hearing the news that she and Xu Jingzhe slept in the same bed.

Yu Ze lowered his head slightly, and the tears in his eyes blocked his vision.

"Yu Ze?" The Scorpion Woman called out coldly, and suddenly withdrew her hand that was about to pat his shoulder.

"Are you not feeling well? Do you want to go back and rest?" Although the Scorpio woman seemed to care about him on the surface, her words revealed disgust.

Yu Ze thought that what she meant by "feeling uncomfortable, go back and rest" should be "want to fool around with your sisters-in-law again?"

"It's okay, I was just a little distracted." Yu Ze rubbed his temples. "Now that we've agreed, let's hurry up and set off. The location has been sent to your communicators."

"You have twenty minutes to say goodbye to your family and companions. Also, A Lie and Xu Jingzhe, your mechas have been custom-made and you need to come with me to pick them up."

"Let Ali help take care of it. I'll go back and say goodbye to Mengbao." As soon as Xu Jingzhe finished speaking, he met Yu Ze's murderous gaze.

Yu Ze glanced at the Scorpion Girl, then looked at Xu Jingzhe and said sternly, "I haven't agreed to you being with my sister yet! There's no need for you two to say goodbye. Come with me to get the mecha, or I'll tear you apart!"

After saying that, Yu Ze stood up, grabbed the back of the collar of A Lie and Xu Jingzhe with one hand each, and dragged them out of the meeting room.

"Then... let's hurry up and get ready." The Scorpion Girl turned to look at Li Beichuan, "Please stay for a moment, I have something to tell you."

After watching Yuliang and Yubao leave the conference room, the Scorpion Girl slowly spoke: "The medical equipment you brought back from the superior factory was equipped with a Scorpion Tail covering net. I discovered a leak in the protective shield today..."

Before the Scorpion Girl could finish her words, she was startled by Li Beichuan who suddenly stood up. He looked nervous and uneasy. "Is... is there something wrong with A Yin?"

"On the contrary. Judging from the physical and brain tests, Ayin has shown signs of recovery. I think she will wake up soon. Maybe you will see her after you complete your mission and return."

The Scorpion Girl stood up and walked to Li Beichuan, patting his shoulder. "Don't be distracted. Ayin is safe in the base. Our most important task now is to solve the plan of the Linyin Grass Organization."

Li Beichuan nodded, then turned around and left the meeting room and rushed home.

A slight sigh echoed in the conference room, and sharp mechanical legs rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

She thought of her brother. If he were still alive, he would probably have his own wife now and they would live happily together.

His brother was only seventeen years old when he died. What was he thinking when he pushed Yu Qingmeng into the closet in the room in a panic despite his fear?

It was obvious from the beginning that his father wanted him to be the leader, and Yu Qingmeng would be the supporting role.

Seeing that they were able to say goodbye to their loved ones, the Scorpio girl felt a pang of sadness in her heart. All her loved ones were dead, without even a trace of them remaining.

The hatred for Ye Lingtian in his heart and the self-blame he felt for himself deepened a little.

She returned to her seat and sat down, calming herself down for a while. When she stood up from the chair again, she had become the scorpion-tailed leader who could stand on her own.
