Chapter 145 Do you doubt me?
Then, Ye Zirou asked, "So, everyone, are you willing to go to Seoul with us?"
"We do!" everyone responded in unison.
"Okay!" Ye Zirou showed a happy look.
For some reason, whenever people hear Ye Zirou speak, they always feel convinced.
At this moment, the yamen runners were looking for Li Mao in the crowd, but they could not find any trace of him.
They came to Wu Yong with anxious faces, and one of the yamen runners lowered his voice and whispered in his ear.
"Brother Wu, where is the boss? Why can't I see him?"
When Wu Yong heard this question, his body trembled slightly and his eyes turned red instantly. He tried hard to control his emotions, but tears still welled up in his eyes.
"The boss...is dead."
When the yamen runners heard the news, they were stunned, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
One of the guards asked in a trembling voice: "What? How is this possible? What is going on? Where is the body? Where is the body?"
"No... Impossible, Brother Wu, you must be lying to us, right?"
"Yes, Brother Wu, please tell us where the boss is."
Wu Yong turned a deaf ear to their constant inquiries and did not make any response.
They were all extremely reluctant to believe this cruel fact. Everyone had returned, but their leader could not come back.
They worked together in the yamen, although Li Mao was sometimes extremely strict with them.
But more often than not, he cares for them and teaches them carefully, just like a kind brother.
They began to confide in each other every little detail of their time with Li Mao, recalling the days when they carried out missions together, and the laughter and sweat they shared in the yamen.
"Last time I was injured, the boss took care of me personally and applied medicine to me. Why is he just..." a yamen runner said while choking.
Another yamen runner also asked anxiously: "Brother Wu, where is the boss's body? We must go and see him."
Wu Yong took a deep breath and said with all his heart, "I found a quiet place to bury the boss. Now we still have a mission to complete. When we complete the mission and return, I will take you to meet up and go home."
After saying these words, Wu Yong could no longer control his emotions. Tears burst out like a flood and he cried like a helpless child.
It's really hilarious to see a usually strong man lose his composure like this at this moment.
However, in this situation, no one around could laugh. An unspeakable sadness welled up in their hearts.
Everyone stood there silently, immersed in sorrow with Wu Yong.
After a long time, Wu Yong slowly raised his head, wiped away his tears, and looked at everyone with firm eyes.
"Miss Ye, let's go!" Wu Yong turned and said to Ye Zirou.
Ye Zirou nodded.
There were more and more people in the team, but the only one missing was Li Mao who had come with them.
Along the way, everyone was silent and in a heavy mood.
Wu Yong has been walking at the front of the team. His steps seem a little unsteady, but his eyes are extremely determined.
He looked back unconsciously from time to time, as if expecting Li Mao to suddenly appear at the back of the team.
Ye Zirou felt sad when she saw Wu Yong so sad.
This feeling was very familiar to her. In modern times, she had experienced the death of teammates more than once. Every time a mission was carried out, someone would inevitably get injured and sacrificed.
Every time a teammate left, she was heartbroken. Gradually, she no longer dared to make close friends. She was afraid of the feeling of losing, so she would rather choose loneliness from the beginning.
She walked over to Wu Yong and patted his shoulder gently.
"Wu Yong, please accept my condolences. Your boss Li would definitely not want to see you so sad."
Wu Yong nodded, "I know, I just find it hard to accept it for the time being."
"We will definitely find Xiaoyao Pavilion and avenge Brother Li." Ye Zirou said.
Wu Yong glanced at Ye Zirou.
"Thank you, Miss Ye."
The team continued to move forward in a heavy atmosphere.
When they reached a stream, Ye Zirou spoke to Wu Yong.
"Let's take a break."
"it is good."
Wu Yong nodded silently and turned to speak to the crowd.
"Everyone, take a break here. We should be able to reach Seoul before dark."
Everyone found a place to sit down and started eating some dry food to restore their strength.
Wu Yong sat quietly aside, staring at the water, his mind full of thoughts.
Ye Zirou and her group sat under the shade of the tree.
Both she and Mo Tianyu's eyes were fixed on Wu Yong.
"Tianyu, do you think he might be suffering from depression?"
“What is depression?”
"Depression is when a person cannot bear the blow and then chooses extreme behaviors such as committing suicide."
"I don't think so. In this era we live in, separation and death are common. If this is the case, I will be depressed, and your husband should have died long ago."
"You should have died a long time ago."
Ye Zirou spoke quickly and said this without thinking. She regretted it right after she said it. She said quickly, "Pooh, pooh, pooh~ Sorry, sorry, I said the wrong thing."
"Rou'er is right. It's because I'm lucky enough to have met you."
Then he asked Ye Zirou.
"Rou'er, just now on the mountain, you really couldn't save Li Mao?"
After hearing this, Ye Zirou showed shock and anger on her face and looked straight at Mo Tianyu.
"???"
"You doubt me?"
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Mo Tianyu quickly waved his hands to explain.
"No, no, why would I doubt you? I just think that with your medical skills and the space you own, you can even cure the poison in my body, so you shouldn't be unable to save me."
Ye Zirou frowned, sighed helplessly, and explained.
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen given the medical room in the space. But, you saw it at the time. It's impossible for me to just disappear in front of everyone and bring people into the space.
Moreover, his heart artery was seriously injured, which cannot be cured in a short time. Surgery is needed, which takes a lot of time and energy. Besides, I cannot guarantee that I can save him. "
After listening to Ye Zirou's explanation, Mo Tianyu showed a guilty look on his face. He gently held Ye Zirou's hand and said.
"I see, Rou'er, I shouldn't have had such doubts, I'm sorry!"
Ye Zirou sighed softly and said, "I know that everyone is sad about Li Mao's passing, but the situation was really critical at the time, and I have done my best."
