Dissection...?
Is this... insane?
How much does Song Qu hate Feng Jingsheng?
Even though he's dead, they won't leave his body alone?
Meng Youcheng was completely dumbfounded and could hardly believe his ears. He knew that his cousins didn't get along, but he didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless!
They wouldn't even leave him a complete corpse, let alone let him die!
However, Meng Youcheng absolutely could not agree to let him dissect the body. After all, Feng Jinsheng was not really dead at the moment. If the body was dissected, wouldn't everything be over?
But... how should I put it?
Song Qu picked up his coat and prepared to leave, but Meng Youcheng quickly reached out and grabbed his arm. Song Qu froze for a few seconds. "What's wrong, Teacher Meng?"
We can't let him leave here!
But how can I explain it in a way that will not make him doubt me, while still preserving Feng Jinsheng's body?
It seems not. No matter what I say, he will suspect me. I finally managed to shift the blame to the interrogator, making him mistakenly believe that Feng Jingsheng was beaten to death. If I say anything more now, his attention will definitely turn to me!
What should we do then?
We can't really make him dissect a corpse, can we?
"Could you...?"
Meng Youcheng's voice was very weak, almost inaudible.
Song Qu didn't pull her hand away, but asked curiously again, "What's wrong, Teacher Meng...?"
Just then, a red sedan pulled up in front of his house. Meng Youcheng immediately noticed it and changed the subject, saying, "Look who's here!"
Song Qu followed the gaze...
A woman hurriedly opened the car door and rushed over.
The moment Meng Youcheng saw the woman, his anxious heart finally calmed down...
Song Qing rushed over in a panic. She was wearing high heels and wasn't walking very steadily, but nothing unexpected happened, let alone she fell.
The moment Song Qu saw Song Qing, a strange emotion involuntarily flickered in his eyes...
He sighed. Song Qing was already standing before him, her face filled with a mixture of emotions: terror, disbelief, fear, and even tears welling in her eyes…
"Qu'er..."
Hearing the woman's weak cry, Song Qu's heart softened immediately. She grasped the woman's hand and said, "Sister, you...you know everything, right?"
Tears welled up in Song Qing's eyes and streamed down her face. Her expression was filled with disbelief. "Why...why so suddenly? Why didn't I even get to see him one last time? Why...what happened? Tell me...how could it all happen so suddenly?!"
Song Qu's eyes were filled with heartache. "Sister... don't be sad... it's possible... the interrogator was too rough, and Feng Jingsheng... couldn't hold on?"
Tears streamed down Song Qing's face like a raging river, unstoppable. Overwhelmed with grief, she choked back sobs, finally managing to say, "Asheng... I haven't even seen him... get married and have children... Dad said... I must take good care of him... What am I supposed to do? I won't even see him one last time... How will I face my father when I die?"
Song Qu quickly said, "Sister, none of this has anything to do with you, it's all my fault. If Uncle asks about it in the afterlife, just say it's me, he won't blame you..."
Song Qing was speechless, tears streaming down her face, and she shook her head desperately...
Meng Youcheng, who was standing next to him, was completely dumbfounded.
He seemed to know something: there was no reason why Song Qing had been able to hide until now. Damn it, with acting skills like that, it's a real shame she's not an actress!
If I hadn't gotten the script beforehand, I really thought you would be heartbroken.
Song Qu kept comforting her, trying to calm her down.
Song Qing cried for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Song Qu's hand. "Qu'er... can you grant your older sister one last request?"
Song Qu nodded with a pained expression, "As long as I can do it, just say the word..."
"I want to put...Ah Sheng's body in the mourning hall, so that it will have a final resting place. And when I die, it will be better, so I can explain things to Dad... Is that alright?"
Song Qu's expression changed drastically. "Of course not... Sister, you know that the Song family ancestral hall has always housed the remains of high-ranking figures from the upper echelons. Feng Jingsheng... He betrayed the upper echelons, how can we keep his body there?"
Song Qing burst into tears, unable to control herself. "Asheng... is my only younger brother. He's a member of the Song family. Why can't he be left alone? Besides... even if he did something wrong, it doesn't change the fact that he's a member of the Song family!"
"Qu'er..."
Song Qing wiped away her tears and said sadly, "Please help my sister, fulfill her last wish. I didn't even get to see him one last time. As his sister, I can't even put his body in the mourning hall. I can't bear it..."
Song Qu hardened her heart and shook her head. "I'm sorry, sister... The Song family ancestral hall no longer belongs to the Song family. The body that can be placed inside must be an outstanding hero of the upper class. Feng Jingsheng... He betrayed the upper class and the organization, so he is destined not to be placed inside..."
"This matter is not up to me. The Commander-in-Chief will absolutely not agree. You should... change your request."
Song Qing immediately burst into tears and wept bitterly...
Meng Youcheng seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and gently patted Song Qing's shoulder. "Miss Song... don't be sad. The dead cannot be brought back to life. How about this, we'll give you Asheng's body so you can bury it. If you miss him in the future, you can go and talk to him..."
Before Song Qing could speak, Song Qu immediately retorted, "No! The corpse..."
Song Qu gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and said, "I want an autopsy, I want to investigate everything thoroughly, I want to give...the higher-ups an explanation, and I want to give my identity as a general an explanation!"
Tears welled in Song Qing's eyes as she stared wide-eyed at Song Qu in disbelief. "What...what did you say?"
She muttered incredulously to herself, "You said you were going to... dissect Ah Sheng's body?"
Tears instantly broke through her defenses, gushing out. Song Qing pounded on Song Qu's chest, screaming in anguish, "Are you crazy? Ah Sheng... but he's your brother! Why did you do this? He's dead... can't you even leave him a whole corpse? Are you really that heartless? All the good I've done for you..."
"Song Dynasty opera...!"
Song Qing patted Song Qu more than a dozen times. He did not resist, nor did he utter a sound. He gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
Exhausted from the fight, Song Qing stumbled back a step, lost his balance, and fell to the ground...
Song Qu immediately helped her up, "Sister..."
"Don't touch me, I don't have a brother like you!"
Song Qu's eyes filled with tears. "I have no choice... Feng Jingsheng died suddenly. If I don't find out the truth, I can't explain myself, and the Commander-in-Chief will..."
Song Qing's eyes were red-rimmed as she looked up at him. "If... you really dissect Asheng's body, I'll die right here today!"
Meng Youcheng stepped forward and tugged at Song Qu, "Mr. Song... let's each take a step back."
Song Qu closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. "Alright... but let me make this clear beforehand: Feng Jingsheng's body cannot be brought into the mourning hall... I will give it to you, and you can decide where to bury it."
……
Thankfully, it was a close call.
Meng Youcheng slumped onto the sofa, tilted his head back, and let out a sigh of relief...
To be honest, Song Qing's acting skills are really good. If she hadn't appeared in time, Feng Jingsheng's health would definitely have been ruined. Thanks to her, but...
How heartbroken she must be!
Meng Youcheng could tell that Song Qing doted on her two younger brothers. In order to save Feng Jingsheng, she had no choice but to use Song Qu. She must be feeling terrible right now.
Sigh... whatever! As long as Feng Jingsheng is safe!
However, it's unclear how things are progressing. After Feng Jingsheng is successfully rescued, where will he go, and will there be another chance to see him?
Alas... such a poor soul...
He was injured so badly, he should need at least a few years to recover, right? No, this is a novel, he should be fine in a month or two, or maybe ten days or so. Don't worry. According to the setting, he should be the protagonist of this novel, so he won't die...
But... after all he's endured, I still want to see him!
[002: Congratulations, host! The second phase of the mission has been successfully completed. Feng Jingsheng has been rescued!]
Hearing this, Meng Youcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He scratched his head and couldn't help but smile, "Hmm..."
[002: I'm about to issue the final mission. Aren't you curious about what it is?]
Meng Youcheng pondered for a moment, "I can probably guess..."
[002: Oh?]
"It should be... how to make the upper part disappear from this world, right? To restore peace to this world, to make everyone equal, that's probably it?"
[002: Very clever... The last mission is to kill the Supreme Commander. If that's successful, the instance of this world will be complete. Please do your best, host!]
Just as Meng Youcheng was about to speak, Song Qu suddenly appeared in his line of sight, stumbling and staggering...
He seems to have had too much to drink.
