Chapter 470: Death of Xu's Mother
Li Zhuang glanced at him and looked at the guard calmly.
“This woman said you are her husband’s brother and she will wait for you here,” the guard explained.
"I don't know her," Li Zhuang said with a cold expression and a flat tone, "She is blocking the way."
"Okay, okay," the guard immediately reached out to pull He Mei.
"I am Dong Hongyuan's wife. He said you are his brother. You two have a life-and-death relationship. You can't just ignore me..."
"We have children. I gave birth to his child and he said he would treat me well..."
"I want to go back, I miss my daughter..."
He Mei watched the car drive past her without stopping, and she collapsed and sat on the ground crying.
Xu Yi had seen enough of the excitement, and almost reached the door of the villa, and suddenly asked, "You said she can have a baby, is it a problem with her body?"
Li Zhuang's eyes moved, and he thought for a moment, "Who knows?" He parked the car, turned his head to look at Xu Yi, and smiled, "Do you want a child?"
"I hate children the most," Xu Yi said proudly with his chin held high, then got out of the car in a cool manner.
As soon as I closed the car door, Taotao rushed over and hugged my thighs, "Uncle, that's great."
"There's nothing delicious," Xu Yi said righteously, pulling his hand away. After helping him stand up, he acted as if nothing had happened and said as if giving him a reward, "Let me give you a taste of the leftover sweet cake."
Li Zhuang helped him get his things and walked into the villa with a smile.
Before he had packed up the things he had bought, He Mei's news had already been delivered to Li Zhuang.
At the beginning, He Mei followed Lu Xiao's team back to Kyoto base. Because Dong Hongyuan gave her crystal cores and supplies, Lu Xiao's subordinates took good care of her along the way. Compared with other companions, she lived much better.
After returning to Kyoto safely, the cost of living in the city alone stopped many of their companions from traveling. However, He Mei had already been arranged, and she entered the base smoothly, and they also helped her to obtain a residence permit.
But to survive in the Kyoto base, one cannot rely on a residence status alone. Housing, food and drink are all problems, and He Mei also wants to find the whereabouts of her parents.
During the last few years of the apocalypse, she was raised on an isolated island. Later, she spent time in Yueban Bay to nurture her pregnancy and give birth, and had not really experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse.
When she had used up all the crystal cores she brought with her, there was still no news from her parents. She could only find a job to make a living. However, it was difficult for ordinary people without special powers to survive, let alone a beautiful and cowardly woman. It was common for her to be harassed.
The boss would not offend others for an ordinary person with no power or influence. After working hard for a long time, she could not even guarantee food and clothing. Only then did she gradually realize that the cage that she once disdained was actually a paradise for so many people.
After she couldn't make ends meet, He Mei thought about returning to Yuebanwan Base. She didn't have the ability to do it on her own, and she didn't even have the money to hire someone to give her a ride.
She once tried to find someone from the Flame Team, but she couldn't contact the top management and didn't know anyone at the bottom. Besides, Dong Hongyuan had made it clear at the beginning that she would have nothing to do with them if she left.
As for the members who came here from Yuebanwan base, she had inquired for a long time before she found out that there was Li Zhuang. She wanted to seize the last chance by using Dong Hongyuan's name.
"Thank you," Li Zhuang said to Lin Mo who came to deliver the message after looking at the work He Mei had done after being away for so long.
"The captain asked me to give it to you."
Li Zhuang nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Can we contact the base at this time?"
"Can"
"Then I'll send a private message." Li Zhuang followed Lin Mo to the communication room and told Dong Hongyuan that He Mei had come to see him. He even mentioned the issue of having children without any reservation.
"You want to take the person back?" Zhuang Mingxu immediately understood what he meant when he saw the message he sent.
"Xiao Dong really wants a family and likes children. Maybe he can have a few more," Li Zhuang did not hide it.
Xu Yi's words reminded him that the only children who appeared in their base after the apocalypse so far were Qin Nian and Dong Baobao. Yin Jin was working at the base now, so it was impossible for him to have children, especially since Qin Nian was obviously more valuable for research. In order to have better cooperation, the base did not want to make the relationship awkward.
He Mei, who has no background, is another experimental subject.
As Dong Hongyuan's brother, Li Zhuang wanted to fight for his brother first.
After waiting for a while, the two received a message from Dong Hongyuan, which consisted of only a few words, "It's enough that I have a baby."
Li Zhuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
The two looked at each other and made a decision tacitly.
"You go talk to her," Zhuang Mingxu said.
Li Zhuang nodded and walked out, just in time to meet Xu Sa and Liu Rui hurrying out, "After dinner, where are they going?"
"...Someone just told me that Xu Sa's mother is dying." Xu Yi, who was playing with Taotao in the yard, looked in the direction the two left and said softly, "He said I don't need to go."
**
After Qin Hu's death, the Morning Light Team was no longer as powerful as before, but Qin Zhifei was used to the way of being a young master, and he never returned the villa that symbolized his status.
Xu Sa went there with familiarity. Before he even entered the house, he heard the crying of a child and the scolding and sarcasm of the adults. He saw Zhang Bijuan lying in the yard covered in blood. A woman was dragging her by her hair, cursing as she walked out. The older boy was pushing the woman hard, shouting, "Let my mother go." The younger girl just cried at the top of her lungs.
Compared to other villas, this one is much more crowded. Simple houses have been built in the original flower beds and backyards. The spacious courtyard looks unusually crowded. There is a clothesline in the yard, with miscellaneous clothes swaying in the wind. Several women are sitting in the yard washing clothes by hand, and they look up from time to time in the direction of the noise, indifferent as if by habit.
Qin Leyang was the first to see Xu Sa at the gate. He burst into tears, as if he had seen a savior. He stared at Xu Sa silently, like a frightened puppy.
Qin Le'an, who was crying, couldn't hold back as he did. The moment he recognized Xu Sa, his thin body rushed towards Xu Sa like a small cannonball, hugged his thighs, and cried bitterly, "Brother, they are beating mom, please save mom."
Xu Sa has come into contact with quite a few children. Apart from Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao who were pampered in the villa, Qin Nian has been teased by the entire team since he was a baby. He thought he was not averse to children.
But the moment Qin Le'an hugged him, Xu Sa still felt uncomfortable all over, especially when he looked down and saw the little girl's face that resembled Qin Hu, and a pair of eyes that were the same as Zhang Bijuan's, which seemed to be full of spring water at all times, looking up at him and crying, he immediately thought of the way Zhang Bijuan looked when she begged him.
Gentle and pitiful.
The yard became quiet for a while because of Xu Sa's appearance. The woman who had been pulling Zhang Bijuan's hair let go and looked at Xu Sa with her arms folded.
Xu Sa took a step back suddenly, pulled his thighs out of Qin Le'an's arms, looked at her coldly, and took a few steps towards Zhang Bijuan.
"Brother?" Qin Le'an, who was broken free and sitting on the ground, looked at Xu Sa helplessly.
Qin Leyang trotted forward, picked up his sister, held her hand and followed behind Xu Sa.
"I heard that you were going to die?" Xu Sa looked at Zhang Bijuan, who was breathing out more than she was breathing in, and said in a flat tone.
The once charming woman now looked like a withered straw. Her ravaged appearance did not make him feel happy, but instead made him feel indescribably confused.
Zhang Bijuan's lifeless eyes trembled slowly when she heard his voice, and turned towards Xu Sa. Her lips trembled for a moment, and she said hoarsely, "Sa... Sasa..."
Xu Sa looked down at her without saying a word.
"S-Sorry, I...I don't want to disturb you..."
"I don't have... time anymore. Please take care of... take care of Yangyang and... An'an..."
"Hehe." Xu Sa smiled at her with a sarcastic look in his eyes. "They have Qin Hu's blood in their bodies. You entrusted them to me. Aren't you really afraid that I will feed them to the zombies directly?"
"Ssasa..." Zhang Bijuan reached out to grab Xu Sa's trouser leg, but when she was about to get close, Xu Sa took half a step back and she didn't touch him at all.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, mixed with the blood on her face, making her look particularly miserable.
Xu Sa was in a daze for a moment, wondering how the gentle and decent woman in his memory had become what she is now.
“S-Sorry, sorry…”
Zhang Bijuan could no longer say anything else. She kept repeating these three words. Her scarred hands reached out towards Xu Sa, as if she was trying to grab the last straw.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of that straw for her to grab.
Finally, she fell down limply, and her eyes were looking at Xu Sa until her death.
"Wow...Mom..."
"Mom, wake up, Mom..."
The child shook Zhang Bijuan's body, cried loudly, turned around helplessly and pulled Xu Sa's pants, "Brother, please save our mother, please save her."
Xu Sa, who was 1.80 meters tall, seemed unable to stand steadily as she swayed lightly. Her body swayed twice and she was supported by Liu Rui who was beside her.
The mountain that once weighed on me finally disappeared completely at this moment, and what followed was not only relief but also unspeakable helplessness.
"Don't cry." Liu Rui took the silent Xu Sa into his arms and wiped the tears from his face onto his clothes.
"Oh, how is that possible? I didn't..." Xu Sa smiled and reached out to touch the water marks on his face.
"She deserves it," Xu Sa whispered, "She is getting her retribution."
“Yes, yes, she…deserves it,” Liu Ruiying.
But Xu Sa didn't feel relieved. Even though they had now received the retribution they deserved, those mistakes still left a mark on him, and his ruined life could never get back on track.
It's like justice delayed, if it's delayed, it's meaningless.
Xu Sa's emotions eased quickly. After a few breaths, he calmed down. He took one last look at Zhang Bijuan, and looked at the woman closest to him with a calm gaze, "Who hurt her?"
These words made the people watching the excitement quiet for a moment. Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered.
Even though the Morning Light Team has new members, the ones who can live in the villa are still the senior executives and their families, most of whom are the former ones. Many of them have seen how Xu Sa once led people to easily destroy the original person in charge and was able to get away with it.
