Transmigrating into a book: You are a cannon fodder, but you have to run away

Brother Yu observed Meng Xue carefully, not missing any changes in her expression.

He could see that when Meng Xue expressed regret, it was more of a hidden self-blame.

What is she blaming herself for?

"Can you... tell me what you regret?"

Yu Ge was afraid that asking this would make the other person uncomfortable, so he quickly explained:

"If you don't feel comfortable saying it, you don't have to."

Meng Xue smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Actually, there's nothing I can't say."

She sat on the chair opposite Yu Ge and looked at him.

"This happened to me when I was a child. I still remember clearly that it also happened on a rainy day. The only difference was that it was during the day."

"I met a little brother who was lying in an alley covered in wounds. I was young at the time and couldn't help him by myself, so I ran out to find an adult and met an older brother. I took the older brother with me to save the little brother."

Meng Xue paused for a moment, she seemed to be lost in memories of the past.

"Big brother, call the ambulance and take the little brother away."

Brother Yu’s expression is a little hard to describe.

Forgive his lack of knowledge and talent, but I really don’t understand where the regret lies.

Did you do something good? Are you regretting it?

But what are you regretting?

Regret that you did a good deed but the other party didn’t give you money?

He said he didn't understand or comprehend.

"Are you wondering what I'm regretting?"

Brother Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"You know what? A week later, I heard the adults talking about it. I learned that the police had caught a group of human traffickers, and that the little brother was the one who escaped from the traffickers, and the older brother I found was the trafficker."

"I personally delivered the escaped little brother to the hands of the human traffickers."

"If I had been smarter and found a few more people, maybe my brother wouldn't have been caught and wouldn't have died."

"I regret that I didn't help him, and I blame myself for not being smart enough and hurting him."

When Meng Xue said this, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled and fell.

Brother Yu felt quite uncomfortable when he saw Meng Xue, whose eyes were full of self-blame.

"So, when I saw you, it was like I saw that little brother. This time, I won't ask for help from others, I want to help myself."

Meng Xue's explanation explained why she chose to help people alone instead of going to the hospital or the police.

Because this incident left such a deep impression on her that it caused her to feel uncertain about her sexuality.

"You...don't blame yourself."

Brother Yu had never comforted anyone before. At this moment, he wanted to comfort Meng Xue, but after thinking for a long time, he could only say these words dryly which had no comforting effect.

"this is not your fault."

"You were still young at the time, you didn't understand anything and couldn't do anything, so of course you would ask adults for help."

"You have good intentions, and you wouldn't have thought things would turn out this way."

"Besides, they are human traffickers. They are the most inhumane group of people. So, it's a blessing in disguise that you were not implicated."

Brother Yu didn’t know whether he was moved by Meng Xue’s kindness.

He felt that Meng Xue had no need to blame herself.

After all, if she was unlucky and was captured by human traffickers, wouldn't she be saving others and sacrificing herself?

Brother Yu is not a good person, but when he thought about Meng Xue being captured by human traffickers, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Meng Xue lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, looking so pitiful.

Meng Xue raised her head, and a gentle smile bloomed on her tear-stained face.

At this moment, it seemed as if something exploded and bloomed in Yu Ge's heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want anything for lunch? I'm going to the supermarket to buy some groceries. Do you think you'd like anything? Tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Meng Xue wiped away her tears and looked at him with a smile.

"No. I don't have anything in particular I want to eat. I'll eat whatever you make. I'm not picky."

Yu Ge answered dryly. He felt a little strange and his heart was beating too fast.

"Well, you have a good rest."

Meng Xue picked up the medicine box and left. After putting the medicine box away, she put on a hat and mask and left home.

The moment the door closed, Meng Xue was in an extremely good mood.

She didn't expect that this seemingly smart man could be so gullible.

She had read the words just now in a novel.

So she took it and used it.

Combined with the acting skills she had learned during this period, she gave a perfect answer.

Next, she had to think carefully about how to leave a deep impression on this person.

After Meng Xue left, Brother Yu got up and walked around the house.

The house is very simple, just an old-fashioned one-bedroom and one-living room layout.

The house was kept very clean, giving him a feeling of peace and tranquility.

He went to the bathroom, washed up briefly, and returned to the bedroom.

He picked up his phone from the table.

Even though he had a rough life these days, he had always kept his cell phone well protected.

This phone contains very important information for him, so he can't lose it.

He turned on his phone and started checking whether there had been any news about human traffickers being arrested in Beijing before.

Even though he agreed with Meng Xue's words, he was cautious by nature and would definitely start to verify it further.

If he had been so foolish as to just listen without verifying the facts, the grass on his grave would probably be ten meters high.

He started to search the news, and surprisingly, he actually found it.

A news report from thirteen years ago.

The above report said that the police cracked a vicious child trafficking case.

More than ten criminals were arrested, and some children were reported to have been killed.

After seeing this news, Brother Yu believed Meng Xue’s words even more.

But he had no idea that Meng Xue's words were based on the plot of a novel, which she had embellished before telling him.

Neither he nor Meng Xue knew that the author of this novel was from Beijing, and that it was a crime book that happened to be based on a child trafficking case at the time.

It was just such a coincidence, a complete coincidence.

Jingle Bell....

Brother Yu's cell phone rang. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was one of his men calling.

"Brother, where are you?"

As soon as the call was connected, a loud voice came from the other end, which made Brother Yu's head buzz.

"Keep your voice down."

"I'm fine. I'm safe now."

"That's good, Brother Yu, do you want me to pick you up?"

"Not for now. Just keep an eye on my good brothers."

Whenever his good brothers were mentioned, Brother Yu would grit his teeth.

He suffered so much, and his good brothers deserve credit for their contribution. He must give something back.
