"Xiao Xiao, I might have a way to wake up Song Moting here. Will you co?"
Wu Weiguo’s call made Jiang Xiaoxiao hesitate.
At this point and place, even if Wu Weiguo was deceiving her, there was no benefit in it for him. Jiang Xiaoxiao drove straight to the old Wu family residence.
Once again, upon seeing Wu Weiguo in this living room, her heart sank.
Unexpectedly, it had only been a short year since they’d last t, and Wu Weiguo now looked like a man gravely ill.
Indeed, he hadn’t deceived her; he truly was beyond saving.
Wu Weiguo sat in a wheelchair, a blanket covering his legs, appearing emaciated like a skeleton.
His complexion was a mix of blue and black, with a hint of purple; his lips were an almost dark blue. His overall physical condition had deteriorated to an alarming state.
The mont he saw her, his slightly closed eyelids opened.
In that instant, Jiang Xiaoxiao montarily mistook the look in his eyes for affection.
Her peach juice had no effect?
The teor radiation was too powerful.
She slowly sat down on the chair beside Wu Weiguo.
Wu Weiguo gasped for breath as he raised his hand, but lacking strength, it fell instantly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart sank.
Even though she had once hated Wu Weiguo for his mistakes, which had led to her and Song Moting’s ordeal,
she couldn’t remain completely indifferent in this mont, facing this elder on the brink of death.
Involuntarily, she took out a pill from her bag.
Wu Weiguo shook his head, "It’s useless. I know you brought out the family secret redy, but you probably don’t know. Your grandmother secretly obtained the peach juice from Old Mrs. Song. I’ve already verified that those secret redies are just peach juice.
Although I don’t know what secret you carry, child, those peach juices have no effect on ; the redy that can cure everyone is completely ineffective on .
My ti is running out; I know I won’t make it through the night."
After saying this much, Wu Weiguo was already breathless; the tall, dark man beside him quickly took out a bottle of dark green liquid from his pocket.
He gently poured a drop into Wu Weiguo’s mouth, and finally, a faint red glow appeared on Wu Weiguo’s face.
But that redness was abnormal.
"Child, I’m sorry. I initially wanted to give you a stable life, for you to grow up happily and have your own happiness, but I didn’t expect to end up burdening you."
Wu Weiguo closed his eyes to rest for a mont, whispering the only apology of his life.
"There’s no need to apologize. From the mont I beca your daughter, it was destined that I could never have a stable life in this world. If you truly feel sorry towards , then tell how I can wake up Song Moting."
Jiang Xiaoxiao tried hard to maintain her cold deanor.
Whether Wu Weiguo was well or not had nothing to do with her.
The thin familial bond between them wasn’t enough to move her.
Even though the elderly man before her was about to die, which made her heart slightly uneasy, it wasn’t enough for her to forgive him.
"The explosion in the lab destroyed everything; the teorite in the lab has completely disappeared. I don’t know where it went, but the only explanation is that the teorite likely caused an energy fluctuation with that explosion.
That energy severely hard Song Moting, leading to his current state. The only possible solution is to find that teorite."
Wu Weiguo opened his eyes, his gaze focused and cool.
He seed to be talking about an irrelevant topic with a stranger.
"You also ntioned it’s gone, so where can I find it?"
The tall, dark man brought over a box.
Handed it to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at it but didn’t open it.
"When studying that teorite, I made two preparations. I sliced off a small part of the teorite and preserved it in this box. As long as you hold this piece of teorite, you can sense the location of the other teorite. Follow this, and you’re sure to find it; once the two rge, the energy they produce should be enough to wake up Song Moting."
Wu Weiguo looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao eagerly.
"You ntioned the teorite has energy, with strong radiation capabilities. You were already affected by radiation and ended up in this state. Now you’re handing it to . Aren’t you worried about my condition?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t open it.
There were only a few people in the world she could trust, and Wu Weiguo was certainly not one of them.
"This teorite is small, and the radiation has been isolated with special tal. I can assure you that the radiation won’t affect you. It possesses unique abilities. So far, I only know it can alter the dinsions of ti-space, allowing you to traverse through it.
If you’re unwilling to use its power to find the other teorite, you can discard it. Don’t force yourself, Xiao Xiao. The one thing I want to say is that of everyone in this world, you’re the one I owe the most. I hope you can live well."
Wu Weiguo panted, his face turning pale. The tall, dark man quickly took out more green liquid.
Wu Weiguo shook his head, "There’s sothing in the box ant solely for you. If you choose not to find the teorite, you can throw these things away with the teorite. Only your fingerprint can access everything inside and activate the teorite’s energy shield.
No one else can open it.
I’m sorry, for I am not a competent father. I hope in the next life, I can have the chance to repay."
Wu Weiguo closed his eyes. Were it not for the rise and fall of his chest, Jiang Xiaoxiao would have thought he was already gone.
The tall, dark man cast a reproachful glance at Jiang Xiaoxiao, as if accusing her of unwillingness to let a father who loved her depart peacefully.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked silently at Wu Weiguo, lightly placing her hand on his as she patted it, and then turned to leave with the box.
At the mont Jiang Xiaoxiao patted his hand, two crystalline tears rolled down Wu Weiguo’s eyes.
His breathing gradually ceased, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a peaceful smile.
At that mont, the surroundings were silent. The tall, dark man’s head lowered, tears falling onto the floor.
His boss was gone forever; he’d never again have the chance to joke with him.
The next day, the Wu family published a funeral announcent.
Wu Weiguo was formally cremated.
He was buried in the Martyrs’ Cetery of Jingbei.
All proceedings were carried out very quietly.
Besides the elderly couple, none of Wu Weiguo’s siblings were allowed to attend his funeral.
Amid skepticism from the outside world, Wu Weiguo vanished completely from public view.
