âJust came to see my godfather.â
Gul was the first to speak, his smile clear and his eyes brightâthis was the truth.
âI also came to see my godfather...â
It was Tang Hao who spoke next, his eyes flickering, and his words clearly insincere.
Without thinking, it was obvious that Tang Hao had dragged Gul along to act as a cover for him...
As for the purpose... one could only say that the work of a godfather is not as close as that of a real father.
Looking at Tang Hao's shifty eyes, Wen Yu couldn't help but chuckle lightly. He fixed his gaze on Tang Hao and teased, âNothing wrong? If nothing's wrong, then you should leave. My godfather just got back, and thereâs a lot to do.â
âThen we won't disturb my godfather.â
Gul immediately spoke up, instinctively pulling Tang Hao to leave the office. However, Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and seemed to make a firm decision.
âGodfather, I... I have other matters.â
âHmm, go ahead.â
Wen Yu still wore a smile, his tone gentle.
âMy father... my father...â
âHe has a secret mission and left before the war started; he hasnât come back yet.â
Wen Yu showed no intention of hiding thisâit didnât need to be concealed.
Upon hearing this news, Tang Hao's mouth dropped open. He hesitated to voice âthen... then...â, but his words couldnât form a complete sentence.
It was Wen Yu who provided the final answer.
âThe mission is very dangerous; it involves infiltrating the Demon Realm for sabotage behind enemy lines. Under normal circumstances, this task could be completed in ten days to half a month, but eight years have passed, and Tang Haofei still hasnât made any sound... I suspect he might have encountered an accident...â
Indeed, Wen Yu had no intention of covering it up...
Tang Hao was an adultâthough he seemed like a child in front of Wen Yu, he was nearly thirty years old...
Some things are better said openly than kept hidden!
The pain may be temporary, but suspicion lasts forever, and Wen Yu was particularly annoyed by this kind of concealment!
Hearing Wen Yu's firm conclusion, Tang Hao's face turned pale instantly. His body swayed, seemingly heavily affected by the sudden blow.
But this was merely a necessary experience for growth⌠Wen Yu didnât even bother to comfort him and simply waved at Gul, signaling him to carry Tang Hao out.
Wen Yu had seen too many goodbyes in life and death.
Seeing this, Gul immediately helped Tang Hao up, dragging him out of the office. After the two left, Wen Yu sighed and picked up the damage report on the desk to review it again.
Loss of life...
Loss of materials...
A series of data made Wen Yu's scalp tingle.
After about three minutes, the office door was knocked on again.
âCome in!â
As Wen Yu's voice sounded, the office door was suddenly pulled open. Outside were Tang Hao and Gul rushing in, Gul looking confused and shocked, while Tang Hao's face was filled with joy, even his complexion had become much rosier.
Wen Yu frowned.
âWhat happened again?â
âGodfather... my father... my father...â
âHe might be dead; was I not clear enough, or did you not understand?â
âNo... my father is back!â
Tang Hao was speaking incoherently, excitement creeping into his tone, and when Wen Yu heard the words âmy father is back,â he was momentarily stunned, staring wide-eyed at Tang Hao until more footsteps were heard at the door.
As the footsteps drew nearer, Tang Haofei's figure appeared at the doorway.
âLook! Look!â
Tang Hao grabbed Tang Haofei and pointed at Wen Yu, his excitement and agitation palpable, while Wen Yu just stared blankly at Tang Haofei until Tang Haofei smiled gently at him.
âMission accomplished; although this report came a bit late, itâs been a long time...â
Wen Yu's expression was wooden until Tang Haofei finished speaking, then he finally broke into a smile.
âWelcome back, my brother, you've worked hard!â
However, deep down, Wen Yu was cursing the spirit of the demon lordâs ancestors from start to finish!
