Chapter 32 Confession
"Grandma, let me introduce you. Commander Zhang brought me back this time, along with Captain Lu. They're in our yard right now!" Gu Xinyan hurriedly explained to her grandmother.
Upon hearing her granddaughter's words, Grandma Gu quickly greeted her, "Oh dear, you silly girl, you've come all this way and you haven't even greeted them? Come on in, come on in." With that, she stepped into the house.
Seeing this, the group hurriedly followed. Gu An'an, who was at the back, saw that everyone had left and quickly pulled Li Chendong towards the house, muttering to herself as she walked.
"Hurry up, Brother Chenchen, walk faster, or we won't be able to hear anything!"
Li Chendong: "........."
I never expected this child to be so curious!
While mentally complaining, he didn't slow down. Seeing Gu An'an struggling with his short legs, he scooped him up. How could he not be eager to watch the fun?
Moreover, he had a premonition that the question that had been puzzling him for over a month would be answered today.
After everyone was seated on the sofa in the living room, Gu Xinyan poured a glass of water for each person as her grandmother had instructed. After finishing all that, she sat down next to her grandmother.
"My dear, a while ago, some government officials came and said you were bound to some kind of system? And you're going to do business in another world? What exactly is that system? And where is that other world?"
"How come I didn't know there was a place called Another World around here? Tell me quickly, where have you been all this time?" Grandma Gu grabbed Gu Xinyan's hand and asked anxiously.
As soon as Grandma Gu finished speaking, apart from Commander Zhang and Lu Yunting, who already knew the truth, everyone else present couldn't help but gasp. What had they just heard?
System? Another world?
Li Chendong and Gu Xinya exchanged a silent glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. However, they dared not ask any questions, as their two superiors were present.
Their curiosity, like cat scratches, made them restless, and they all turned their questioning eyes to their captain.
Lu Yunting, who received the gaze, was speechless.
Why are you two in such a hurry? We're just talking about it. The reason I didn't kick them out before was because they're going to be reserve members of the time-traveling team. It's good for them to know the truth beforehand. But I don't want to explain things to them now. Want to know? Keep listening!
"Grandma, it's like this. A month ago, on the day you brought An'an back to the village, near dusk, I was bound to a dimensional trading system called 011."
It transported me to another world, to what it called the garbage planet G5588. I was terrified, afraid I'd never come back. Later I learned that as long as I completed the mission, I could travel between the two dimensions.
After I returned, I worried that I wouldn't be able to handle the situation, and I was also afraid that if others found out, they would cause trouble for us. That's why I contacted our country's leader through 011.
I originally planned to come back first, but the mission 011 issued had a very tight deadline, so I didn't have time to come back. That's why I went on the mission first. As soon as the Tang Dynasty mission ended, I rushed back.
Grandma, you have no idea how much I've missed you these past month! Oh, and An'an too.
Gu Xinyan recounted everything that had happened in the past month, as if pouring out beans.
"What? Such a big thing, why didn't you call Grandma? Where is that system called 011?"
You silly girl, thank goodness you're alright. If something had happened to you, what would I, this old woman, have done? It's a good thing your parents passed away early, otherwise you wouldn't have to live in such fear all by yourself.
Grandma Gu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She really didn't expect that this other world was not a place name, but another world, and that her precious granddaughter had actually been to two worlds in just over a month!
"That brat! How could she be so bold? It's terrifying to even think about it." He unconsciously tightened his grip on his granddaughter's hand, then, as if remembering something, he quickly asked:
"Sweetie, did you go alone? Did anyone go with you? Did anything happen to you outside? Do you want to go again in the future?"
Grandma Gu's barrage of questions didn't annoy Gu Xinyan at all; instead, it warmed her heart. She answered them one by one:
"Grandma, I went alone both times. 011 is a small system, and at first it didn't have the energy to take one more person with it. But it's better now, it recently leveled up, and next time we go on a mission, I can take one more person with me."
It was busy with something a few days ago and hasn't come back yet. When it returns, I'll bring it to see Grandma. Grandma, don't worry, when I was in that other world, I had 011 protecting me, so I wasn't in any danger.
"And I also think this is an opportunity. Maybe I'll find medicine to cure Grandma's eyes in another world someday!"
Hearing Gu Xinyan's words, everyone present was somewhat moved. Gu Xinya and Li Chendong, who were standing to the side, had their eyes light up. Taking people to another world?
Do they have a chance? Thinking this, they couldn't help but cast longing glances at their captain.
Lu Yunting: "........."
When Grandma Gu heard these words, her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion as she said:
"You've always been decisive, girl. As long as you have a plan in mind, and with the country helping you, I can rest assured."
Grandma may not be very capable, but I don't want to be a burden to you. You go out on your mission and don't worry about things at home. With this old woman like me here, nothing will happen.
"Medicine or not doesn't matter. I've long been used to the darkness. My biggest wish in this life is for you and An'an to be healthy and safe!"
"Yes, yes, An'an and I will definitely be fine. Grandma, you too, we all need to be well. Oh, by the way, Grandma, I have something to tell you this time I came back."
Seeing that her grandmother was about to cry, Gu Xinyan quickly changed the subject. After all, the doctor had said that her grandmother's body couldn't withstand extreme joy or sorrow anymore, and she couldn't let her grandmother be so sad. So, before her grandmother could speak, she continued:
“Grandma, we came back this time because the new base is located on an island near us. Commander Zhang said that the facilities there are very complete, and I guess I will be living there for a long time.”
