Rong Yan, who was behind Chu Li, pulled Chu Li’s sleeve to motion for him not to speak too harshly. Chu Li was firm and he stared intensely at Eleven. After a while, Eleven opened her eyes and said, “Chu Li, keep these words between us. Don’t tell Wei Wei anything.”
As a woman, Rong Yan was more attentive and sensitive. She felt the sadness in Eleven’s words and asked immediately, “What happened to Wei Wei? She was still fine when I talked to her on the phone a few days ago.”
Eleven’s expression darkened. “She had a miscarriage.”
Rong Yan’s eyes widened in shock. It was obvious whose child it was. She was heartbroken. Rong Yan had always treated Ye Wei and Eleven as her beloved younger sisters. It was inevitable for her to feel sad when she learned that the both of them had suffered so much pain and grievance in the past year.
“Eleven, take Wei Wei back. Don’t wander outside anymore. She just had a miscarriage and needs to be well cared for. Otherwise, it would be bad for her body and bones,” Rong Yan said worriedly.
Eleven replied, “I’ll have to ask Wei Wei first.”
Chu Li began to soften up. Eleven could tell that he was a little tired, so she didn’t want to say more or ask about the situation of the casualties. She could see it clearly in Rome. There was no need for her to mention things that would make them feel sad again.
After hanging up the call, Chu Li covered his face with his hands. He was extremely tired and didn’t want to care about anything else. Rong Yan gently touched his hair. Chu Li’s hair was thick, soft and comfortable to touch.
“Ah Li, don’t be sad. It’s neither your fault nor Ye Wei’s or Eleven’s.”
“Then, whose fault is it?”
“God’s fault. I know it’s depressing to have lost so many people all of a sudden, but it’s useless to be sad now. Why not think about what you should do next?” Rong Yan said gently and hugged him. “I will be with you. Always.”
Hearing that Ye Wei had lost her child, Rong Yan was reminded of her baby. If her baby was still alive, there probably would be another angel comforting him together with her. The strong and determined Chu Li, who had never been knocked down by anything, showed such negative emotions for the first time.
“I don’t wish to think about anything now,” Chu Li said. “Yan Yan, I’m really sad. I was just discussing the magnetic wave gun with Ouyang excitedly a few days ago. In a blink of an eye, he left me. And…”
“Okay, stop. The more you say it, the more you feel sad.” Rong Yan stroked him gently. “Cheer up. It’s all going to pass.”
“If it had not been for the Top Terrorist Organization, there would not have been so many deaths,” Chu Li suddenly said. Rong Yan was surprised, and she held his face while crouching down. She said, “Ah Li, stop having this kind of thoughts. Think of how many people this organization has saved and given hope to. If you keep thinking like that, would there be any hope in the future? Don’t be defeated because of this.”
Chu Li looked exceptionally scary with his bloodshot eyes. He hugged Rong Yan and cried out her name in a choking voice again and again, as if only by calling her name could he gain endless power and hope.
Warm tears dripped onto Rong Yan’s neck and scalded her skin. ‘Ah Li, don’t cry. My heart aches whenever you cry.’
Men only weep when deeply grieved.
He didn’t even shed a tear the last time when she was dying. Hence, what happened this time was definitely a huge blow to him.
“Ah Li, do you remember the first time we met in the slave market of Country R?” Rong Yan touched his face gently, wiped off his tears, and kissed his eyelids. Her smile was gentle and beautiful. “You were still just a boss of a third class gang without power when I first got together with you. The Top Terrorist Organization had also just started then. I’ve watched you grow until now, and it’s nothing if you fall. I’ll walk with you again. In the end, we will have everything. With this experience, we will not fall again next time.”
“Yan Yan…” Chu Li looked at the woman in front of him, feeling touched. Right, she had been with him for so many years. What was he afraid of? She would still be there with him no matter what happened in the future.
Rong Yan… Rong Yan… He remembered the days Rong Yan had accompanied him. Looking at her peaceful face when she slept sometimes calmed him down. He was familiar with every wrinkle on her face, which seemed to look beautiful and gentle now.
“Well, let’s have a go at it again. We have the connections, capital, and experience. It won’t take five years for us to be the Top Terrorist Organization that would dominate the world again. Before that, whoever wants to be the boss can take the position as he wants.” Rong Yan held his face in her hands and said gently with a smile, “You don’t need to be someone else’s boss. In my heart, you are already the god I believe in.”
“Yan Yan…” Chu Li teared up and kissed her. She had always known how to give him strength and encourage him with her words.
Yan Yan…
It was a blessing to have her in his life.
Actually, who was whose god was debatable.
The relationship between the Top Terrorist Organization and the United Kingdom had always been very close. No matter what they did, the British royal family had never made a statement and chose to support them most of the time due to Ross’ connections.
Being headquartered in London was also a decision they had thought about for a long time. It proved that the decision to do so was very right. Only the United Kingdom accepted them and gave them sufficient time to settle down with relaxed management.
Chu Li asked Black J to check the list of people who died and register their family members so that they could provide help to them one by one.
Sir made use of his connections and fulfilled his promise to rescue the arrested researchers and technicians secretly. Those people were top talents in the field of armaments and had been loyal to the Top Terrorist Organization for many years.
The war left the city in ruins and they had suffered a heavy loss. At this time, talents were absolutely indispensable. Although more than half of his best brothers were killed or injured, those who survived also had outstanding skills. Chu Li had to make them stay for the sake of technology, talent, or morality.
Of course, Chu Li had given them the choice to stay or leave when they went back. Almost all of them had chosen to stay, except for some of them who were still unconscious due to their serious injuries. Chu Li was pleased, touched, and shocked at their choices…
Only in adversity can we see who is true to us.
As for those who chose to leave, he did not blame them. Fortunately, they had nothing to do with the top secrets regarding the core personnel and could reveal nothing. It was their freedom to choose to serve the government.
No one should be blamed for the choices they made when faced with life and death. Life is the most important.
Rong Yan smiled and took Chu Li’s hand. She looked at the current situation of the Top Terrorist Organization that Black J had just analyzed and said gently, “Look. Did you have these technicians and researchers five years ago? Did you have this much money or any of these connections? The situation is still considered good.”
Although it couldn’t beat what they had before the war, it was still much better than what they had five years ago.
That was the only words she could think of to comfort and encourage Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled gradually. “Well, there’s another thing that I didn’t have five years ago but I have now. You.”
