When Wen Yu saw that figure from behind, he thought of many things... It was hard to explain what kind of feeling it was.
There might have been some guilt, perhaps a little embarrassment, but more than anything, it was an awkwardness of not knowing how to face Sun Ruixing's daughter.
Until Sun Xuewei turned around and looked at Wen Yu.
"Who are you?"
Her crisp voice came, leaving Wen Yu at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, the woman who was leading him spoke up.
"He said he was entrusted by your father to find you. This is what he just gave me outside the door."
After the woman finished speaking, she directly took out the pendant that Sun Ruixing had given to Wen Yu!
The moment Sun Xuewei saw the pendant, she became excited.
"This... this is..."
Seeing Sun Xuewei trembling as she looked at the pendant, tears streaming down her face, and unable to speak fully, Wen Yu remained silent for a moment before speaking first.
"This is what your father, Sun Ruixing, entrusted to me."
Sun Xuewei covered her mouth and nose, sobbing for a while, and only then did she manage to calm her emotions enough to ask with difficulty.
"So... he..."
Wen Yu just stood there, silent.
That expression, that response! It already explained a lot of things!
...
Wen Yu sighed lightly, looking at the almost broken Sun Xuewei in front of him, and then glanced at the women around her who were comforting her. He gently said,
"Could you please step outside for a moment? I have some things I want to discuss with her."
Upon hearing Wen Yu's voice, the women around shot him a glare but did not take any further action.
In their eyes, Wen Yu was not some second-tier figure; he was merely a death-crier bringing bad news!
It wasn't until Sun Xuewei managed to speak that the women turned to leave the room.
When there were only the two of them left, Sun Xuewei wiped her tears and asked once more.
"What about my mom?"
"Old Sun told me that your mother did not survive the first wave of zombification."
After hearing this, Sun Xuewei did not show any special expression, only staring blankly at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu sighed, found a chair, and sat down. He looked into Sun Xuewei's eyes and said seriously,
"Your father entrusted me to ensure your safety. I sent someone from the military to find you a while ago, but I heard you were unwilling to join the military. Now, I want to understand your thoughts."
Sun Xuewei nodded, a heavy sniff escaping her nose.
"I... I..."
After repeating "I" twice, Sun Xuewei found her emotions still somewhat uncontrollable and shook her head directly.
Wen Yu nodded and continued,
"So, you want to stay here?"
Sun Xuewei nodded.
"But this place isn't safe; their strength is quite weak."
Sun Xuewei nodded again and finally spoke up.
"But they are the only familiar faces I have left."
"Understood," Wen Yu said as he stood up and began pacing around the room.
After a while, he walked back in front of Sun Xuewei and took out two items from his Spatial Ring.
One was a broken shield and the other was a scroll.
Then, Wen Yu spoke.
"This is the weapon your father left in his lifetime, and this is the skill he entrusted to me to give to you. These two items are your father’s legacy, and now I am giving them to you!"
Sun Xuewei glanced at Wen Yu, first taking the shield from his hands and gently touching the broken areas before speaking.
"How did my father... die..."
"He was a hero. He died in... a war!"
Wen Yu did not tell the truth, but this was important for him; for Sun Xuewei, it wasn’t!
If Old Sun had any spirit in heaven, he might not want Wen Yu to tell Sun Xuewei the truth!
Sun Xuewei nodded, remaining silent for a moment before carefully placing the shield at the bedside. She then directly pushed the scroll back towards Wen Yu.
"This thing, consider it your labor fee. I really appreciate you coming all the way to Beijing to find me."
Upon hearing Sun Xuewei's words, Wen Yu actually laughed.
"Really, you and your father have the exact same tone, tsk tsk."
