Later, it was rumored that someone rescued a withered girl in the desert. People said her tears had flooded the entire desert, and after she woke up, she brought the first heavy rain to the desert that hadn't seen rain for three years.
"The desert may bury my lover, but his love will not. He will come to find me, just as my surging tears carry my longing for him to the sands that bury him."
Su Ruiyi softly recited her ninety-ninth letter to Ou Yunchen, then carefully folded it and put it into an envelope, asking the butler to send it to an addressless place...
The butler: "The flight route has been booked, and we can fly to Country M tomorrow."
Su Ruiyi: "Okay."

The next day, Su Ruiyi appeared at the meeting of the Bilderberg Club.
Hassan: "Everyone, please let me introduce Miss Ou Yunchen's representative. From now on, she will be appearing on his behalf."
Su Ruiyi: "Hello everyone, it is my pleasure to attend the meeting on behalf of Mr. Ou Yunchen."
Some people raised objections.
Su Ruiyi: "Like some of the politicians present, Mr. Ou Yunchen will be dedicating himself to more important fields, so this meeting will be attended by me in his stead."
Su Ruiyi explained with a smile to the group, as if Ou Yunchen himself had told her what to do.
Mo Qingyun, however, stared at Su Ruiyi with a blank expression. She had let Kaiwei go, but she hadn't expected Su Ruiyi to dare show her face again, and now she was arrogantly claiming to represent Ou Yunchen at the club.
Mo Qingyun: "No one has permitted you to represent Ou Yunchen. You are not welcome here, Su Ruiyi."
Su Ruiyi smiled and explained: "The Bilderberg Club allows members to miss meetings, but they must send a representative."
Mo Qingyun: "What I mean is, you have no right to represent Ou Yunchen."
Su Ruiyi: "Ou Yunchen asked me to come."
Mo Qingyun: "Is that so? How can you prove it?"
The smile on Su Ruiyi's face froze. She didn't know how to prove it, but she had received a call from Hassan asking her to represent Ou Yunchen.
Mo Qingyun: "Can't prove it? Then please leave."
Su Ruiyi: "I think you have a way to prove it for me."
Mo Qingyun: "Ridiculous, how could I possibly?"
Su Ruiyi: "You certainly do, otherwise you are..."
Su Ruiyi mouthed "murderer" to Mo Qingyun without making a sound!!!
Mo Qingyun was startled, and Su Ruiyi looked at her with a smile.
Just as everyone was curious about what Su Ruiyi had said, Mo Qingyun's attitude suddenly changed.
Mo Qingyun: "Let's begin the meeting."
Lyon presided over the meeting, which was to discuss Country M's tightening monetary policy. However, Mo Qingyun was distracted. She kept watching Su Ruiyi's movements, unable to concentrate.
The agonizing morning finally ended. Mo Qingyun immediately left the conference room. She didn't want to spend another minute with Su Ruiyi, not even another glance, lest it remind her of Ou Yunchen.
Back at the hotel, Michelle was already waiting for her.
Michelle: "What's wrong?"
Mo Qingyun: "Su Ruiyi... she attended the Bilderberg Club in place of Ou Yunchen."
Michelle: "What do you think?"
Mo Qingyun: "I... I keep thinking of Ou Yunchen lately, and I keep dreaming about him..."
Michelle: "Do you still hate him?"
Mo Qingyun: "I don't know..."
Michelle: "Here are your test results, take a look."
Mo Qingyun quickly opened the doctor's report. It stated that the Umbrella virus in her body had decreased by another one percent compared to the previous month, proving that she was gradually recovering...
Perhaps, in a few more years, she would be completely free from the cold and ruthless Umbrella virus...
Mo Qingyun slumped into her chair, and she began to fear...
Mo Qingyun: "I can't get rid of the Umbrella... I need it..."
Michelle: "You have to face it. Getting sick and then recovering is a process."
Mo Qingyun: "I don't want to recover..."
Michelle: "Why?"
Mo Qingyun: "Because..."
Suddenly, Mo Qingyun's door was burst open. Several men in black, escorting Su Ruiyi, appeared before Mo Qingyun.
Subordinate: "Miss Su wanted to kill you and was caught by our men downstairs."
Michelle: "Mo..."
Michelle looked anxiously at Mo Qingyun. Mo Qingyun, not yet fully recovered, could at any moment lose her mind and make a terrible decision. And Su Ruiyi was already her nemesis; Su Ruiyi's provocation was akin to seeking death...
Mo Qingyun looked at the pistol found on Su Ruiyi by her subordinates and smiled, then asked everyone to leave.
Michelle saw the expression controlled by Umbrella on Mo Qingyun's face again. Su Ruiyi was doomed...
Michelle: "Don't..."
Mo Qingyun: "Do you want to die here with her?"
Mo Qingyun: "Take Michelle out."
As Michelle was dragged out, she continued to plead for Su Ruiyi, begging Mo Qingyun to spare her and telling her that it was all over and there was no need to hurt anyone else.
But Mo Qingyun yelled that no one was allowed in without her permission.
***
Michelle kept pounding on the door, begging Mo Qingyun not to kill Su Ruiyi.
Inside the room, however, Su Ruiyi glared at Mo Qingyun with tears in her eyes.
Mo Qingyun: "You're quite bold, trying to kill me?"
Su Ruiyi: "I want revenge for Ou Yunchen!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "Hahaha, have you forgotten? He was in the wrong first, he lied to me, he watched me fall! And you, you are also guilty!!!"
Su Ruiyi: "But you took his life, you had him killed!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "He deserved it, he should have died."
Su Ruiyi tried to pick up the gun but was kicked away by Mo Qingyun, who then grabbed Su Ruiyi and threw her. The Umbrella virus allowed her to easily deal with someone like Su Ruiyi.
Su Ruiyi clutched her chest, looking at Mo Qingyun in shock. What kind of person had such strength...
Mo Qingyun: "Just you? Did you think I would let you go just because you escaped from Kobdithia? I could kill you in minutes. If it weren't for the fact that Ou Yunchen is already dead, I shouldn't have kept you alive!"
Su Ruiyi used all her strength to throw a chair at Mo Qingyun, but Mo Qingyun felt no pain. She blocked it with her hand and then lunged in front of Su Ruiyi, grabbing her by the neck.
Mo Qingyun: "Don't provoke me!"
Su Ruiyi: "Kill me now, or I'll come back to kill you again!"
"Xiao Yun..."
In a daze, Mo Qingyun seemed to hear Ou Yunchen calling her name...
Suddenly, the Umbrella virus seemed to fail. The guilt that had torn at her will countless nights returned...
This was why Mo Qingyun didn't want to recover. The brief return to sanity would make her regret her decisions...
When controlled by the Umbrella virus, she had only one thought: to kill everyone she hated in her heart, including Ou Yunchen and Su Ruiyi...
But when the peak subsided and the Umbrella virus was gone, Mo Qingyun lived in unbearable regret...
She finally understood Ou Yunchen's predicament...
On one side, a responsibility she could never forget; on the other, the one she loved but couldn't deeply love...
Mo Qingyun: "Ah!!!"
For a moment, it was as if countless Ou Yunchens were calling Mo Qingyun's name simultaneously. Sweet memories and painful recollections surged forth. Mo Qingyun knelt on the ground, clutching her head and wailing...
Su Ruiyi quickly picked up the gun and pointed it at Mo Qingyun's head but hesitated to pull the trigger.
As Mo Qingyun looked up with tears in her eyes, she finally saw Su Ruiyi's face clearly...
Su Ruiyi: "Why... why did you kill Ou Yunchen!!! He was clearly the one you loved the most!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "It was me... it was I who ordered him killed... I'm sorry..."
Su Ruiyi: "Do you think Ou Yunchen would have been happy if he had chosen me back then? He never forgot his debt to you, he felt guilty for a long time, he even gave up on himself!"
"You never saw such a dejected Ou Yunchen, you will never know how much he loved you then, and how desperate he was!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "I'm sorry..."
Su Ruiyi: "What he owed you, and what he owed this damn empire, has long been repaid. You shouldn't have tormented him!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "Do you think I wanted to? I would rather he died by my hand than be captured and used as an experimental subject!!!"
Su Ruiyi: "You're lying!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "I also thought only O'Nassis of the Tang Empire needed this virus, but in reality, the entire Tang Empire is just a puppet!!!"
"Have you heard of the Eagle Eye Court? No, right? That court, which has existed for hundreds of years, controls this virus!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "They want this virus to bring disaster to humanity. If it were you, what would you do? Would you hand Ou Yunchen over?"
Su Ruiyi: "..."
Mo Qingyun: "Only by killing him... I could only choose to kill him!!! Do you understand? Killing him was to protect everyone!!!"
Su Ruiyi's hand holding the gun became weak. She had thought she would die here today, she had thought Mo Qingyun would beg for mercy, she had even thought about killing Mo Qingyun and then committing suicide. But she never expected Mo Qingyun's explanation to be like this...
Su Ruiyi: "I don't believe you. You're just taking revenge, you just wanted him dead..."
Mo Qingyun and Su Ruiyi got into another struggle, even accidentally firing the gun in the process...
This terrified Michelle outside the room, and even the guards at the door began to worry about the situation inside.
Michelle: "Open the door, quickly open the door!!!"
Just as the guards hesitated, Lin Yi rushed over. She brought people with guns pointed at the guards, and only then did they open the door.
When everyone rushed into the room, Mo Qingyun once again uncontrollably gained the upper hand. She had already snatched the gun from Su Ruiyi and was about to finish her off!!!
Michelle: "Mo Qingyun, I lied to you!!! Ou Yunchen saved you!!!"
Mo Qingyun stared blankly at Michelle, asking her to repeat herself.
Michelle: "It's true. A few days before you and Colin fell, Ou Yunchen came to see me. He predicted that Colin would find you and use you to threaten your brother, so Ou Yunchen begged me to save you..."
Mo Qingyun: "No, he didn't choose to save me, he chose Su Ruiyi!!!"
Michelle: "Because he knew I would save you!!!"
Mo Qingyun: "No!!! It's not like that!!!"
Mo Qingyun began to break down. This news undoubtedly shattered her last shred of hatred for Ou Yunchen.
Mo Qingyun: "Even if he asked you to save me, the harm he did to my brother is real!!! He also tried to use me to harm my brother!!!"
Michelle: "Xiao Yun, that's because he, like you, was controlled by the Umbrella virus. He was kept in the dark. When he realized he had misunderstood your brother, he gave up on revenge..."
Mo Qingyun cried, unwilling to believe, but her faint rationality also advised her to put down the gun...
Michelle: "If you truly want revenge, you should find the Eagle Eye Court. They ordered your brother's death, which is why Axe had to use an artificial heart to stay alive..."
Michelle: "We are all victims of the Eagle Eye Court..."
Mo Qingyun: "No, no!!!"
With a bang, the gun in Mo Qingyun's hand went off...
Su Ruiyi's eyes widened as she looked at Mo Qingyun pressing down on her, and Mo Qingyun also regained some clarity from the shot.
But unfortunately, a bloody hole was bleeding profusely. A large amount of blood also flowed from Su Ruiyi's mouth...
Mo Qingyun: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Su Ruiyi: "You..."
Mo Qingyun: "Help!!! Call a doctor!!! Call a doctor!!!"
Mo Qingyun threw the gun aside, covered the hole in Su Ruiyi's chest with her hand, and begged for Su Ruiyi's forgiveness...
Su Ruiyi: "Ou..."
Mo Qingyun: "What? What did you say?"
Mo Qingyun leaned close to Su Ruiyi's lips, listening intently to her words...
Su Ruiyi: "Ou Yunchen..."
Mo Qingyun: "Ou Yunchen... Yes, I heard. Ou Yunchen..."
Su Ruiyi: "He... where... is he?"
Mo Qingyun slowly stood up, looking numbly at Su Ruiyi's pleading eyes...
Then she closed Su Ruiyi's eyes and stood up blankly.
If she felt the same sadness as everyone else, then the Umbrella virus in Mo Qingyun's body would be child's play...
But Mo Qingyun never expected that Su Ruiyi still refused to believe Ou Yunchen was dead...
Didn't she hear the gunshot herself?
Mo Qingyun walked forward with a blank expression, slowly leaving the room, and glanced back at the doctor who rushed in to save Su Ruiyi, smiling coldly.
Mo Qingyun: "You will never have Ou Yunchen..."
