Chapter 5: Love doesn’t necessarily leave a mark, at least it won’t hurt the other person
Yu Ze quickly cut off the connection, not giving the three people any chance to hesitate or refuse.
Ali opened the document sent by Yu Ze. It was filled with dense writing, but the most important points were the following two:
First, the levels of Scorpion Tail organization members are roughly divided from low to high: ordinary members, captains, leaders, and the highest level leaders.
Second, all tasks of the Scorpion Tail Organization are uniformly assigned by the highest-level leader (boss). The captain leads ordinary members to complete the lowest-level tasks, the leader completes the middle-level tasks, and the higher-level tasks are completed by the leader-level.
If there is an important task, the boss will lead the chief and leader-level members to complete it.
After carefully reading all the contents of the document, Ali couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed the Scorpion Tail Organization. The rules and regulations are indeed more complete than ours."
"Medium-level missions are basically assassinations or preventing transactions between superiors. Low-level missions are simple purchases, very suitable for ordinary people with little combat ability."
Yu Qingmeng said as she looked at A Lie: "You two are both very capable, and you are the leaders of the Shepherd Organization. After joining Scorpion Tail, you will be at the leader level, just like after merging with other organizations."
Ali nodded and smiled helplessly: "It doesn't matter to us. As long as the people under us are doing well, anything is fine."
"I have to trouble you again, Miss Captain, at two o'clock in the afternoon. I'll let Jingzhe take you back to rest first," Ali said and gave Xu Jingzhe a look.
"Let's go." Xu Jingzhe stood up and extended his hand towards Yu Qing'an.
When the two figures completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, a low sigh sounded from the conference room.
Ali held his head and leaned on the table, his eyes seemed to have lost their former luster.
After returning to the first floor, Xu Jingzhe did not take Yu Qingan back to the room, but went to another place.
There is a wide lawn in the sheep herding base, where many children often come to play, but now it is class time and the lawn is empty.
Xu Jingzhe pulled Yu Qing'an to sit on the swing in the middle of the lawn. He stood behind the swing and gently shook the swing rope.
"The air here is great. Staying in the room all the time will make you suffocate," Xu Jingzhe said, looking up at the sky. "Mengbao, tell me... in the era of equality a thousand years ago, could everyone look up at the sky without any scruples?"
A thousand years ago was too far away. Even though Yu Qingmeng had read many books, he still could not answer his question.
"Maybe. After all, there wouldn't be a nuclear bomb suddenly falling from the sky in that era." Yu Qing'an looked up at the sky with Xu Jingzhe.
Over the past hundred years, the lives of the lower classes have gradually improved, but everyone understands that these lives were achieved at the cost of the blood and flesh of countless people.
Even if there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind them, and fog and thorns ahead, they will still move forward, cutting through the thorns and dispersing the fog for future generations.
“Everyone is fighting for tomorrow. I really hope that one day, everyone can look up at the sky without worrying about whether they will die tomorrow.”
At this moment, Yu Qingmeng seemed to have forgotten her disguise. She looked at the sky, and her childhood memories emerged bit by bit from the depths of her mind.
She was old enough to remember things that year, but she didn't understand why everyone started a war and disrupted their peaceful life.
The raging storm is hidden behind you, and by the time you see it, you are already in the center of the storm.
Even now, Yu Qingmeng still remembers the scene of her parents being killed by the upper class. She will never forget that day...
She hurriedly pulled herself away from her memories. She didn't dare to recall them, nor could she recall them. Once that scene appeared in her mind, her body couldn't help but tremble.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jingzhe suddenly bent down and placed his hands on both sides of Yu Qingmeng's shoulders.
His voice was like a gentle breeze, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind and bringing Yu Qingmeng back to reality.
Yu Qingmeng shed tears, shook her head gently, and answered in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I was just a little distracted."
"Mengbao's words just now were very firm, not at all like the you I knew before," Xu Jingzhe said, slowly pulling his hands away and climbing up the rope of the swing. "But Mengbao like that is also very good, very brave, and very strong."
Yu Qingmeng lowered her eyes and looked at the tender green grass under her feet. She took a deep breath of fresh air and replied, "Unfortunately... I'm not brave, I'm just a coward."
His voice trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, everything seemed like a disguise, but the words he said were sincere.
If she had not neglected her exercise due to laziness, perhaps her parents would not have died in front of her.
She didn't even have the courage to push the door open and rush out to resist and stop the bullets that kept hitting her loved ones.
"Everyone is cowardly. It's just instinct, not a shortcoming. But there will always be a day when we muster up the courage." Xu Jingzhe gently pushed the swing.
Because of the thrust, the wind seemed to be particularly favorable to Yu Qingmeng today. She held the rope of the swing tightly, watching the sky move farther and closer, as if all her worries were thrown behind her.
The only sound left on the entire lawn was the faint swaying sound of the swing. Xu Jingzhe looked at Yu Qingmeng's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the swing stopped, and Yu Qingmeng's hand holding the rope was tightly grasped by the person behind her.
A dark shadow suddenly attacked, followed by a soft touch on the right cheek, and Xu Jingzhe's anxious breathing could be heard in his ears.
He stretched out his hands and hugged her, resting his chin lightly on Yu Qingmeng's shoulder, and whispered: "I want to be with Mengbao forever."
Together forever?
Although Xu Jingzhe's words were not complete, Yu Qingmeng still understood the meaning of his words.
Whether you are a superior or inferior person, you have only one right to love and stay with others in your life.
As long as both parties agree, they will leave their own unique mark on each other.
As long as the mark is left, the two will officially become partners, but at the same time they will also regard each other as their weakness.
Once one of them is captured by the superiors, they will follow the mark to find the other one.
Yu Qingmeng carries the expectations and lives of tens of thousands of people in the Scorpion Tail Organization. She cannot be willful and cannot expose her shortcomings in front of anyone.
"Sorry..." Although Yu Qingmeng did not say no, the meaning of her words was very clear.
Xu Jingzhe was stunned for a second, then smiled. It was unclear whether the smile was mocking himself or Yu Qingmeng.
"I'm just talking, don't take it seriously"
He continued to push the swing without saying anything else.
In reality, both of them knew that this kind of relationship was already the limit. Love didn't necessarily have to leave a mark, and even if someone superior caught them one day, at least the other person wouldn't be implicated.
Her heart was filled with sadness and tears fell again. Yu Qingmeng looked down at the tip of her shoes and sighed softly in her heart.
