If he were not to die, given Anthony's temperament, he would surely make a big fuss about that night, or threaten him repeatedly.
As the Hidden Master, if he were exposed for having that kind of sordid affair with a man, his position as Hidden Master might not be secure.
Even if he remained the Hidden Master, he would be exploited and threatened by Anthony every day.
The best way to eliminate future trouble was to cut the weeds and remove the roots.
"When are you leaving?" He Kaiyan asked again.
Qing Muye thought for a moment and said, "Awei's adoptive parents seem to have been taken to the Hidden Clan. We'll go back as soon as we find them."
"Alright. I'll help you find them." He Kaiyan thought for a moment, then asked with lingering concern, "Can Meng Jingwei really disguise herself as Anthony?"
"The first time I met you, you didn't recognize my identity. If you don't trust Awei, don't you trust me?"
Qing Muye retorted.
He Kaiyan was stunned at first, remembering that when he first met Qing Muye, he was still in the identity of "Iron Pillar," and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
That night, the two talked for a long time.
He Kaiyan wanted to drink to celebrate, but Qing Muye repeatedly refused.
After He Kaiyan left Yipinju, he immediately ordered that Antina, Xiao Cheng, and Han Junyan be arrested and thrown into prison.
The next day.
Qing Muye and the others rested at Yipinju.
Meng Jingwei went to the hospital to visit He Xiaomingjin, but there was no news of He Xiaomingjin at the hospital.
She inquired, and the doctor handed her a letter, saying, "He Xiaomingjin asked me to give this to you."
Taking the letter, Meng Jingwei got into the car and opened the envelope.
"Sister Wei:
By the time you read this letter, I will be gone.
I never approved of Grandpa and the others reclaiming the position of Hidden Master, precisely because I feared it would lead to further casualties. However, I could not change everyone's minds with my own power, and I was ultimately persuaded by Grandpa to become a part of the plan.
What happened yesterday has caused me unbearable pain and anguish, and I deeply blame myself.
I feel for my grandfather, because he is my kin; I feel for He Xiaolanya, because she treated me as kin.
I feel for you, because I love you.
They, ultimately, met their end with 'death'; and you, will eventually board the ship back to Huilan City.
The day you set sail will be the day we part ways forever.
I do not resent your ruthlessness towards my grandfather, nor your manipulation of me, because I know you are also a victim.
This parting, I hope you and Qing Muye can be happy.
I can see that he loves you very much and is a rare good man. Being with him, you will surely be the happiest woman in the world.
Your adoptive parents did not come to Country C.
My grandfather initially arranged for me to send people to bring your adoptive parents to the Hidden Clan, but I couldn't bear it, so I lied to my grandfather, saying that they had arrived.
My grandfather was busy discussing the grand plan to 'retake the Hidden Master's position' every day and had no time to visit them, so he never knew I was lying.
This is the only thing I could do to help you.
No need to thank me, because there is not much I can do.
As for me, I plan to go to the slums and teach children, help them learn to read and write, and understand the beauty of the world.
Perhaps only in this way can I atone for my sins.
After all, my abilities are limited, and the only way I can help the people in the slums is this.
Finally, I hope you can bury Grandpa and Madam Lanya.
They were not inherently bad, just had the wrong starting point.
Moreover, there is no absolute good or bad in this world.
Weiwei, in your remaining life, be sure to love yourself. And I, will carry the brooch you gave me, live well, and strive to fulfill my mission."
