Chapter 1627 - You’re Finally Here
Chapter 1627: You’re Finally Here
Far East Ace slowly straightened his body and looked at the tall man who was in a daze, with satisfaction.
He reached out, took the burning cigarette from Lu Yuan’s hand, and threw it into the trash can nearby. He then repeated what he had just said,”… winter is here, will spring be far away?”
Lu Yuan came back to his senses and subconsciously said, “Yes, because, in some places, winter is the only season all year round.”
This time, the Far East Ace was stunned.
Although he had been puzzled for a long time, although he was mentally prepared from the moment this person walked out from behind the Holly tree and asked him about Yeltsin and Gorbachev, when he heard the other party catch the code word he threw out, his heart was pounding so quickly.
The two of them stood silently in the snowy night and looked at each other, as though they were two motionless statues.
The heavy snowfall quickly accumulated and formed a layer of crystal-clear snow that covered their shoulders.
After a long time, Lu Yuan let out a soft sigh and said,”… you’re finally here…”
His voice was so low and fleeting that the moment he spoke, it disappeared along with the heavy snow.
However, the sharp ears of the Far East Ace heard it.
He did not deny it, but neither did he admit it. Then, without context, he asked, “… you were the one who sent us the coordinates, right?”
Lu Yuan reached out his hand and brushed off the snow on Far East Ace’s head and shoulders. He said, unusually kindly, “Yes, you guys did a good job. It’s so relieving that we have a successor for our country.”
The eyes of the Far East Ace instantly turned red, but he had already turned his back. Under the cover of the night, even Lu Yuan did not notice this detail.
He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry to disappoint, I came here purely for personal matters.”
Lu Yuan did not smile. He shook his head solemnly. “No, I’m not disappointed. She’s worth it.”
To an outsider, the criterion for judging whether you should do something was whether it was worth it.
However, Huo Shaoheng knew very well that even if it wasn’t worth it, he would still do it.
This was the only time in his life that he had been willful, and it was also the decision he had made after careful consideration.
However, he did not refute Lu Yuan. Instead, he said, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, my mother’s illness wouldn’t have fully recovered.”
He now fully understood why Gu Nianzhi had been sent to their side, and why he had been appointed to take over.
This was because the man in front of him, even though he was in a foreign land, was still concerned about Song Jinning’s illness.
In front of this person, Huo Shaoheng does not need to put up a front anymore.
He was his senior.
“But, how did you know about my mother…”Huo Shaoheng asked, puzzled.
As far as he knew, after the experiment failed eighteen years ago, this person, who was also his uncle Huo Guanyuan, disappeared without a trace.
At that time, he still didn’t know about Song Jinning’s illness, right?
Lu Yuan also clarified his identity at this time. He had hidden his identity for eighteen years, in this strange and familiar world.
“I am your uncle, Huo Guanyuan. After the failure of the experiment, I was knocked out by the explosion. When I woke up, I found myself in a strange place, and found the four soldiers who came with me dead, by my side.”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart tightened.
This was caused by the fact that the corresponding bodies could not coexist in the same space and time, right?
Huo Guanyuan continued, “Then I met… Lu Jin, Nianzhi’s father. He was the first to discover the abnormal fluctuations of the magnetic field, found our location coordinates, and helped me cremate the four soldiers.”
“It was also him who after understanding the situation of our experiment in detail, told me about the possible consequences of the magnetic resonance experiment. One of them was that the brain would be disturbed by the high-energy magnetic field, causing a genetic imbalance, which also means something akin to a mental disorder.”
“I. . .” Huo Guanyuan was a little embarrassed at this time. He cautiously said, “With Lu Jin’s help with the magnetic field monitoring, I saw the conditions your mother was living in.”
At that time, he could have used the energy to directly contact the other world.
But for some reason, what he saw was Song Jinning’s mental disorder.
From then on, he decided to help Song Jinning recover.
Lu Jin had told him that this disorder was not incurable.
However, Lu Jin did not store much energy at that time, and he did not trust the world on the other side. Therefore, after observing for a while, he turned off the monitor to save energy.
For subsequent contacts, he only used a very small amount of energy, enough for Huo Guanyuan to communicate with the world on the other side.
Huo Guanyuan had considered the complex situation and did not want the other world to ignore the lives of the soldiers, forcefully conduct more experiments. He did not want them to use the experiment inappropriately. Therefore, he used a very subtle method to guide the other side step by step, to achieve his goal of saving Song Jinning.
In fact, his concern was absolutely valid.
Then, he took out four military identification cards and said to Huo Shaoheng, “These are their belongings and their ashes. If there’s a chance, help me bring them back.”
“You’re not going back?” Huo Shaoheng had not received the four military identification cards and asked calmly, “It’s better if you take them back yourself.”
Huo Guanyuan held the four military identification cards so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand showing, and his voice was particularly hoarse.”… I’m not going back.”
“Oh? I heard that you haven’t settled down here yet. You have a wife and daughter there, so why aren’t you going back?” Huo Shaoheng asked calmly. “Besides, our country needs people like you.”
Huo Shaoheng admired his uncle from the bottom of his heart.
“No, I’m already old. Our country depends on you now.” Huo Guanyuan still stubbornly held out his hand and handed four military identification cards to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the man in front of him quietly. He thought of his paintings, the things that were buried deep in his heart, and seemed to understand his stubbornness.
“Are you really not going back?” Huo Shaoheng reached out his hand slowly, his face full of regret. “It’s a pity that a lot has changed over the years. Have you paid attention to them?”
Huo Guanyuan sighed again. “Every observation consumes energy. In order to save energy, we don’t do meaningless monitoring.”
Every time the two worlds connected, whether it was communication, real-time monitoring, or directly moving between the two worlds, it would consume energy.
Lu Jin and himself were not as rich as Chengjian and others. They could not communicate with the other world whenever they wanted to and not care about energy consumption.
They were, after all, acting on behalf of the state, doing important things, unlike Huo Guanyuan and Lu Jin who were into more minute matters.
However, it was also because of this that when Chengjian ordered his men to kidnap Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin engaged in an energy battle with them. These people were so carried away that they used up most of the energy they had stored up, the only bit of energy they had left was used to monitor the energy source in the other world.
Huo Shaoheng saw that Huo Guanyuan’s information about their world was still stuck at that of more than a decade ago, hence he quickly started to update him.
“My mother was mentally abused by your daughter, Huo Jialan when she was sick for more than a decade. She almost lost her life. If it wasn’t for Nianzhi, my mother wouldn’t have lived to send me here.”
“What? ! Jialan? ! How dare she… !” Huo Guanyuan almost lost his mind when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and showed a rare expression of anger.
“Yes, and Bai Jinyi. You know her, right? After my mother fell ill, she took over the Chinese Institute of High Energy Physics and became my father’s girlfriend. Oh right, in order to gain ownership of your phone, she killed your wife, Luo Xinxue, eleven years ago.”
After seeing that Huo Guanyuan was stunned, Huo Shaoheng said with satisfaction, “But don’t be angry. Nianzhi has already helped her aunt clear her name and sent Bai Jinyi to prison. Huo Jialan, who is now Luo Jialan is also in prison for treason.”
Huo Guanyuan’s mind was filled with so much information that was completely different from what he knew. His heart was in a mess.
Even though he was very good at hiding his emotions, he couldn’t control his expression at that moment.
“… Xinxue is dead? Bai Jinyi became your father’s girlfriend? Then your mother…” Huo Guanyuan stammered, his heart beating like a drum.
“Yes, my father divorced my mother many years ago, on grounds that she was too sick for them to live as a couple, so he was able to find a proper girlfriend.” Huo Shaoheng’s voice returned to his normal low-toned voice, and his tone was heavy.
Huo Guanyuan could hardly believe his ears, and his face instantly turned red. “What reason did your father use? ! How could he be so shameless? !”
Huo Shaoheng didn’t want to talk about this anymore, so he quickly added, “Oh right, we also know that Luo Jialan is not your biological daughter, but the posthumous child of your comrade.”
Huo Guanyuan felt a little guilty about his wife’s death.
He didn’t kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him.
If it wasn’t for that phone, Luo Xinxue wouldn’t have been killed.
Huo Guanyuan knew that he was responsible because he had never treated her as his real wife. He had never expected that his “legacy” would be handed over to his “wife.”.
“Then, what about your grandmother?” Huo Guanyuan couldn’t help but ask. He thought that his “legacy” would be handed over to his mother, Xie Ziyan.
Huo Shaoheng’s expression really darkened. “My grandmother passed away soon after you left.”
Huo Guanyuan thought about the changes that had taken place in the world over the past 18 years and organized his thoughts.
“In other words, your grandmother passed away, Luo Xinxue died, Bai Jinyi and Luo Jialan are in prison, and your father and mother divorced many years ago? !”
Huo Shaoheng nodded heavily and asked with hope, “Then, do you still want to stay here?”
