Chapter 2156 News from Parents

After Leon left, the room fell into a strange silence. Everyone looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces.

Fu Yu's brow furrowed, clearly unhappy with Su Ziwu's sudden decision. After all, they were completely unprepared for such a long journey, and this sudden plan had caught them off guard. Furthermore, they knew nothing about Leon and had no idea if he could be trusted. If Leon had ulterior motives, they would be like fish on a chopping block, powerless to fight back. However, Fu Yu also understood how desperate Su Ziwu was to find Ye Ye. Not only Su Ziwu, but everyone else was constantly concerned about Ye Ye. So, despite her concerns about this trip, she had no choice but to accept it.

In stark contrast to Fu Yu's anxiety were Zhao Ling and Lan Yunsheng. The two seemed eagerly anticipating this long journey, whispering to one another, their faces lit with excitement. Their expressions revealed a genuine curiosity and eagerness for the unknown adventure.

In contrast, Tong Chengcheng was remarkably quiet. She sat quietly in a corner, tablet computer in hand, looking at something unclear. Her attention was completely focused on the screen, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding discussion and atmosphere.

"Pack your things. Use the storage equipment to take away everything you can. The five of us must not disappear rashly. I have already arranged a video conference with Staff Officer Liu in an hour. Someone from home must be present for this matter."

Tong Chengcheng spoke solemnly, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, making a crisp sound. As the last character was entered, she raised her head and cast her gaze towards Su Ziwu, as if waiting for her response.

Su Ziwu was silent for a moment, then nodded silently, agreeing with Tong Chengcheng's decision. She knew the importance of this operation and couldn't take it lightly.

"I'll call my grandfather too."

Su Ziwu said, his voice a little low.

"Fu Yu, remember to inform your parents. We don't know how long it will take for us to come back."

Su Ziwu reminded, turning his gaze to Fu Yu.

Fu Yu nodded, a trace of worry on her face. She knew that this departure might mean a long separation, and she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

After hearing Su Ziwu's words, Zhao Ling and Lan Yunsheng also realized the seriousness of the problem. They looked at each other and said in unison.

"Let's go make a phone call too."

After that, the two of them found a secluded place and started calling home.

Su Ziwu watched the busy figures, feeling a surge of emotion. This operation was fraught with uncertainty and danger, and no one knew what would happen. But she understood that this was a challenge they had to face.

She walked silently to the front door, gently opened the door, and left Ye Ye's house. The moonlight outside shone on her, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart.

Su Ziwu came to a pavilion in Yeye's residential complex. It was a quiet place, shaded by green trees, a perfect place to think. She sat on a stone bench, quietly pondering her next plan.

After a moment, Su Ziwu took a deep breath, as if to expel all the anxiety and hesitation in her heart. She gripped her phone tightly, her fingers trembling slightly, but she finally mustered up the courage to call Su Yan, who was far away in Beijing.

After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up and Su Ziwu heard a familiar voice.

"Hey?"

Su Ziwu calmed himself down and spoke softly.

"grandfather."

Su Yan was obviously a little surprised by Su Ziwu's call, but more than that, he was happy. He quickly responded.

"Huh? Why are you in the mood to come to an old man like me? Did something happen to you?"

Su Ziwu was silent for a moment, not knowing how to start. Ye Ye's sudden disappearance was a huge blow to her. She had been unable to accept this fact and her mood became increasingly depressed.

Su Yan seemed to notice Su Ziwu's silence on the other end of the phone. He cursed Ye Ye's unreliability, but he felt helpless. After all, Ye Ye had sacrificed himself for the entire human race. To the people of Blue Star, he was an undoubted hero. However, for Su Ziwu, Ye Ye's departure made her feel extremely lost and helpless.

Watching his granddaughter become increasingly depressed and thin, Su Yan felt as if his heart was being stabbed by needles. He felt a sharp pain, yet he felt helpless. He wished he could share some of Su Ziwu's pain and help her cheer up again, but he knew that some things could only be healed slowly with time.

Fortunately, Su Ziwu still had friends like Fu Yu by her side, which made Su Yan feel a little more at ease. He thought that perhaps letting Su Ziwu be with her friends would make her feel a little better. So, Su Yan decided not to interfere too much in Su Ziwu's life and give her some space to adjust herself.

However, Su Ziwu's heart was filled with contradictions and entanglements. She knew she couldn't continue to be depressed like this. She needed to face reality and start her life anew. However, she didn't know how to take this step.

That day, Su Ziwu finally mustered up the courage to call Su Yan. When Su Yan's familiar voice came from the other end of the line, Su Ziwu's throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by something. The words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.

"Nothing... I just wanted to call you."

Su Ziwu hesitated for a moment, but still said this. She actually had a lot to say to Su Yan, but she didn't know where to start.

Su Ziwu's grandmother tragically died during the Lingxu invasion war, and Su Yan painstakingly raised Su Ziwu's father. However, fate seemed to be unfair to this family, and Su Ziwu's parents also passed away after she was born. Now, Su Ziwu is also leaving Blue Star, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Su Yan.

In a sense, Su Yan really became a lonely old man. Su Ziwu knew this very well, so she really didn't know how to tell Su Yan that she was leaving.

"Nothing? Grandpa doesn't understand you yet? Just tell me if you have anything to say. Are you missing Ye Ye?"

Su Yan said with a smile, half jokingly and half seriously.

Hearing this, Su Ziwu's face flushed slightly, as if someone had touched upon her inner thoughts. She glanced at the phone in her hand with a frown and said coquettishly.

"Who would miss him?"

However, although Su Ziwu's tone was slightly angry, the shyness in it was hard to conceal. This made Su Yan's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly realized that what he had just said might be a little inappropriate.

In fact, Su Yan regretted it after he said that. He knew that the relationship between Su Ziwu and Ye Ye was a little delicate, and he shouldn't mention Ye Ye lightly, so as not to make Su Ziwu unhappy.

However, what Su Yan had never expected was that Su Ziwu's reaction was completely unexpected. Not only did she not show any displeasure, but she seemed to be looking forward to it.

Su Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that Su Ziwu might be about to make some big move. Could it be that Su Ziwu had already found Ye Ye's trace?

The older one gets, the wiser. Just by listening to Su Ziwu's few words, Su Yan guessed the truth of the matter almost exactly.

Su Ziwu seemed to realize that her reaction was a little abnormal. She quickly calmed herself down and spoke in a calm manner.

"It's like this... yesterday..."

Next, Su Ziwu recounted in detail Leon's sudden visit and how they brought him to Los Angeles. She described the surprise and confusion Leon's appearance brought to them, and how they communicated with Leon and gradually built trust.

Then, Su Ziwu continued to talk about how they persuaded Leon to take them away from Blue Star and go to the wider universe. She mentioned their concern for Ye Ye and their determination to find him, as well as Leon's understanding and support for them.

However, Su Ziwu did not mention the specific details of how she persuaded Leon. She knew that this matter involved many important factors and secrets, so she chose to remain silent.

When Su Ziwu finished telling the whole story, Su Yan fell silent. His heart was filled with mixed emotions: joy that Ye Ye was still alive, and reluctance to see Su Ziwu go.

He was happy that he finally got the news that Ye Ye was still alive, which made him feel relieved. But at the same time, he also knew clearly that Su Ziwu decided to follow Leon to leave Blue Star to find Ye Ye, which meant that they were about to separate.

Su Yan's reluctance to leave wasn't solely due to Su Ziwu's departure; there was another reason buried deep within his heart. This reason was related to a long-forgotten matter, of which Su Ziwu was unaware.

Seeing Su Yan's silence, Su Ziwu also became a little nervous. She knew that Su Yan would definitely be unhappy if she told him this, but she still decided to tell him the truth.

However, what Su Ziwu did not expect was that Su Yan quickly broke the silence and gave a response.

"Go ahead, it's good to go out and try your luck. You didn't have the conditions before, but now you have them, so go ahead."

"There's something I shouldn't hide from you anymore."

There was a hint of confusion in Su Yan's tone when he spoke, and Su Ziwu frowned slightly, a little surprised that Su Yan was so calm, and what exactly he wanted to tell him.

"Your parents should still be alive, but I'm not sure. Your current situation is very similar to theirs..."

Since Su Yan had decided to tell Su Ziwu, he spoke directly without any hesitation.

These words made Su Ziwu's pupils suddenly dilate, and he froze in place.

"What!?"

After a while, Su Ziwu spoke with difficulty.

Since she was a child, she had no impression of the concept of father and mother. Every time she asked Su Yan, Su Yan would say that they had gone to a very far place. When she grew up, Su Ziwu gradually understood the meaning of this sentence. Isn't this a very subtle way of saying that they have passed away?

Apart from mentioning it a few times to Ye Ye, Su Ziwu buried the matter deep in his heart and didn't think about it. But now Su Yan actually told him that his parents were still alive?

"Didn't you say they went far away? They..."

"Yes, they went to a very far place, but I didn't say that place was heaven... I don't know where they went, so I can only tell you this."

There was a hint of helplessness in Su Yan's tone, and his eyes looked straight ahead, as if he had returned to the scene when the two young men were determined to travel far away without hesitation.

"Your father has always been incredibly curious about everything, and he's been incredibly passionate about scientific research. By chance, he met your mother, who shared the same aspirations. They were instantly attracted to each other, eventually got married, and you were born."

"But when you were just born, the two of them seemed to be bewitched by something and kept clamoring to leave Blue Planet and head for the vast universe. I even thought they were brainwashed by some evil cult and even wanted to cause trouble for the Heling Cult. But before I could make a move, they disappeared and I haven't heard from them since."

"Finally, your father and mother left me a letter, claiming that they had discovered the secret of Blue Planet, the secret of the universe, and that they wanted to save Blue Planet, something only they could do."

Su Yan's words startled Su Ziwu. Blue Star's secret? Could it be...

"Actually, this makes sense. The appearance of Olmid, the demon race, and the black-robed man all proves that the universe has been watching Blue Star for a long time. The reason they were able to leave Blue Star is closely related to these three forces. Either they went to the Zerg race, or they went to the demon race."

"But the highest probability is that the morning star coincides with your destination."

"Go ahead, you don't have to worry about home. Ye Ye is here, I'm sure he will take good care of you."

Su Yan said a lot in one breath, and after he finished, Su Yan felt a lot more relaxed.

As for Su Ziwu's sudden departure, Su Yan actually didn't feel too uneasy.

Young people always have to go out and try their luck. Isn’t Su Ziwu today a replica of her parents?

"I see...."

Su Ziwu sat powerlessly on the chair in the pavilion, looking at the phone that had been hung up, muttering...

The next morning.

The five of them were ready to go, and Leon arrived as promised.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready."

In response to Leon's question, the five people spoke in unison.

Looking at Su Ziwu and the other four who were in different mental states, Leon sighed.

"gone."

Leon waved his hand, and a terrifying aura that the five people could not describe flashed by. The moment the mental power burst out, the five people felt that even the space in front of them became extremely distorted.

The next moment, they had arrived at the surface of the high seas, surrounded by blue sea and no land in sight.

"My small shuttle is parked just below the surface of the sea. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. If any of you haven't decided to head for Morning Star, please speak up now."

Leon looked at Su Ziwu and the other four and issued an ultimatum.

The five of them looked at each other, and finally nodded in unison.

"We are ready!"
