Chapter 49: She
The situation was urgent, and Yu Qingmeng hurried back to the base without even having time to change out of her mecha.
There were many people gathered outside the ward, including leaders and chiefs.
Surrounded by their gazes, the Scorpion Girl walked through the crowd and out of the ward.
"Boss..." Perhaps he didn't expect the Scorpion Girl to come, Li Beichuan's expression became a little tangled.
The Scorpion Girl ignored him, gritted her teeth, and looked into the ward.
Yu Ze was lying on the blood-stained hospital bed, his body below the waist shattered by artillery fire.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and sobbing sounds came from all directions, continuously drilling into her ears.
"Why are you crying! He will be fine!" The Scorpion Woman roared and drove away all the people surrounding the ward.
She walked slowly to the bed, knelt gently on the ground, and looked at him.
Usually, Yu Ze would smile when he saw her, and the occasional quarrels became the spice of life.
But seeing him so quiet, my extremely broken heart seemed to be completely shattered at this moment.
"Brother..." Yu Qingmeng took off the mask and called softly.
Yu Ze's eyelids moved slightly, he slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at her. Even though the pain made his meridians surge, a smile still appeared on his face.
"Why don't you change out of your mecha before coming back? What if someone finds you?" Yu Ze reached out and grabbed her.
"Xiao Meng, I may... not be able to accompany you for the rest of the journey." Yu Ze sighed softly, his eyes full of reluctance.
"No! No!" Yu Qingmeng's tears fell and dripped onto the back of his hand: "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, you, Mom, Dad, and your brother would be fine!"
"If it weren't for me, you would be alive, alive in the sun!"
"Xiao Meng..." Yu Ze raised his hand with all his strength and wiped away the tears on Yu Qingmeng's face: "None of this is your fault. No one can fully predict what will happen in the future."
"I remember...my brother said something when he hid me..." Yu Ze's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was hoarse: "Xiao Meng is the hero who saved everyone, and I am the hero who protects heroes."
"Xiao Meng, in the eyes of your family, you will always be the innocent and cheerful girl you once were, not a cold and ruthless leader."
"The death of your family also took away your once innocent self. Although your appearance is gradually getting stronger, your heart still longs for your family's care."
"I guess I'm considered your family now, right?"
"As a brother, I want to say... Xiao Meng, you don't have to carry other people's expectations on your shoulders and turn them into shackles to carry on. You should find your own life."
Yu Ze suddenly smiled, tears streaming down his face: "It's great... I can finally... stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Meng, without having to... look at your back, or follow you around anymore."
"If this pain is the price of protecting you, I...will gladly bear it."
"Xiao Meng, I will be by your parents and brother's side, watching you, watching you...pursue your own life."
"We will always, always love you"
"I will always support all your decisions."
"But unfortunately, I can't be by your side"
“But even if I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice.”
"Goodbye...Xiao Meng"
"As Wuming, I have always...always loved you."
After saying the last sentence, Yu Ze's breath gradually disappeared.
Yu Qingmeng did not cry heartbreakingly, but the kind heart she once had could no longer be put back together.
"Brother, but I... don't want to say goodbye to you"
Yu Qingmeng lowered her head and buried it in Wuming's chest, but she could no longer feel his heartbeat.
He really left.
I remember that when he was brought home by his parents, he was quiet and withdrawn, and he didn't speak for several years.
The first thing he said to her was: "Xiao Meng, I will be your support and always follow you."
Wuming really did it, but Yu Qingmeng didn't want him to do that.
After sitting in the ward all night, my tears had already dried up.
Many people came to her, concerned about their families and their future.
But Yu Qingmeng no longer has any family.
On this day, Yu Qingmeng lost the last of her family.
The next day, she convened a meeting as a Scorpio woman.
Everyone in the meeting room arrived on time, all the leaders were present except Wuming.
They looked at the broken mecha and the blood that had not yet dried on the Scorpion Girl's body, and there were complicated emotions in their eyes.
After a long while, the Scorpio woman slowly raised her head and sighed softly: "You have known each other for a long time and have fought for equality for a long time. Perhaps you are already exhausted physically and mentally."
She turned to look at Xu Jingzhe, who looked worried, and said, "Don't worry, Yu Qingmeng is fine and safe now."
After that, she took off her mask in front of everyone's surprised gaze.
"I, Yu Qingmeng, as the third leader of the Scorpion Tail Organization, would like to thank everyone for their support and cooperation over this long period of time."
"Meng...bao?" Xu Jingzhe was a little surprised, tears filling his eyes.
"The bell symbolizing victory has rung. What awaits me is not death, but the long-awaited equality."
"For my devastated family and for my own sake, please join me in creating a better future!"
After the meeting, Yu Qingmeng didn't see anyone and locked herself in the chief's room, dealing with Wuming's daily work.
It seemed as if only in this way would Wuming not leave.
"Brother, it's all my fault"
She kept repeating this sentence in her mouth for two days.
By the time she came to her senses, it was already the deadline given by Ye Lingtian.
There was a ding-dong sound from the cell phone.
She didn't check the message, but called Ye Lingtian directly.
"Hello"
"Mengmeng is in an especially good mood today. She actually took the initiative to look for me. I'm so happy." Ye Lingtian's voice came from the receiver: "But the time is up. Mengmeng, have you decided how to answer?"
Yu Qingmeng lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say you were going to get married? Then...when will you come to pick me up?"
"Mengmeng, have you agreed?" Ye Lingtian's happy laughter came from the phone: "Then I'll come pick you up right away."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Then, I will send you to hell personally!
Ye Lingtian moved quickly. He arrived at the Scorpion Tail Base in just a few minutes and walked in with a swagger.
His men tied up almost all the inferiors in the place where they lived. They were not only bargaining chips to threaten her, but also a threat to restrict her freedom.
Yu Qingmeng led all the chief-level and leader-level members to stand in the lobby of the base to welcome them.
"Mengmeng" Ye Lingtian walked towards her quickly and hugged her excitedly.
He still wore the gold bracelet on his wrist that symbolized their "love", and his face was full of joy and excitement of having his wish fulfilled.
"Mengmeng, I love you," Ye Lingtian said softly.
Xu Jingzhe, who was standing behind Yu Qingmeng, couldn't help but secretly clench his fists. If Li Beichuan hadn't been holding him back, he would have rushed over in the next second.
"Yeah," Yu Qingmeng replied in a low voice.
