Chapter 34 Surviving in a Cataclysmic World (Part 3)
Wang's father was processing Liu Yuxi's words when his cigarette burned out, and he finally realized, "We need to report this to higher authorities. You did a good job. This news cannot be shared with anyone else before it is confirmed."
He didn't ask what the outcome was for his family in Liu Yuxi's experience. After all, he was someone who worked within the system and knew what was most important at the moment. He lit another cigarette.
Then I said, "I'll call your brother Wang Heng and tell him I'm having some health issues, and ask him to come back. It's convenient, he hasn't taken his vacation yet this year. It's not convenient to talk about this over the phone."
"We still need to talk to him in person. Why don't you stay at Lihua's for a few days? We'll discuss what to do after your brother Wang Heng gets back." "Okay."
Afterwards, the two of them went to Liu Lihua's house for dinner. They both looked a bit serious, and Aunt Wang didn't say anything.
Wang Yi, being a young man, was quite curious and asked his father at the dinner table, "Dad, what does Yuxi want with you?"
The other two also looked at Wang's father. Wang's father put down his chopsticks, looked at the group and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Remember, Yuxi is just coming to stay with her sister for a few days. You two take her shopping for some clothes after get off work these few days. That's all. Understand?"
Because the father's expression was too serious, everyone else nodded obediently.
After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Wang returned home. Mrs. Wang looked at Mr. Wang and said, "Don't ask. This is a big deal. I'll tell you when the time is right, but not now. Don't worry, it's not a family matter. Just continue with your normal work and life."
Also, call Xiaoheng later and tell him I'm not feeling well and that he should take a couple of days off and come back by plane. Don't tell Xiaoyi about Xiaoheng coming back.”
After listening thoughtfully, Wang's mother said, "Okay, I understand. I'll call Xiao Heng in a bit."
Not to mention that Wang Heng's mother called him, Wang Heng asked for leave to go home. After his parents left, he looked after his third sister and brother-in-law.
Liu Yuxi said with a hint of helplessness, "This is not something you should know, nor is it something you should be curious about. You should just go about your business. Remember to buy me clothes later; if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Also, Third Sister, I probably won't be staying here in a couple of days; I have to go somewhere else."
Uncle Wang knows about this, so don't worry. If your uncle and grandma call, just make up an excuse. I reckon I'll be back in a few days.
Seeing her acting like a little adult, her third sister and brother-in-law were speechless, especially Liu Lihua, who was completely confused. "You didn't say anything, just told us your plans. Have you forgotten that you're still a 12-year-old child?"
But it was obvious that Liu Yuxi wouldn't say anything to them, and Wang's father knew what it was about, so they could only do what they were supposed to do!
Wang Heng returned home the next evening. His father had returned earlier, saying he wasn't feeling well. Liu Yuxi was also waiting at his father's house.
Mr. Wang had told his parents beforehand that they would be having dinner at Wang Yi's place that day, and asked them to cook there after work. When Wang Heng entered the house, he saw his father sitting in the living room with a little girl. He was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything.
After greeting him, he asked his father, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Have you been to the hospital?" "Put your things down and come with me to the study." He then led Liu Yuxi into the study first, followed by Wang Heng.
The three sat down, and Wang's father gestured for Liu Yuxi to repeat the story again. Liu Yuxi repeated it and demonstrated the existence of the space.
Wang Heng was initially bewildered. He was shocked to see Liu Yuxi demonstrate the existence of space. After listening to Liu Yuxi's description, his expression became serious. He was now the battalion commander, and he could not report it to higher authorities without going through the proper channels.
He looked at Liu Yuxi and asked seriously, "Can you guarantee the truthfulness of what you're saying?" "I can guarantee it!"
"Then I have to go back to the unit to report now. You might have to come with me!" "Okay, I was already prepared when I came to see Uncle Wang." "Alright, let's go now."
Liu Yuxi and Wang Heng immediately left the residential area and took a taxi to the airport. Wang's father came to Wang Yi's side, and Wang's mother didn't say anything when she saw that Wang's father came alone.
Liu Lihua panicked when she didn't see Liu Yuxi and hurriedly asked, "Dad, where's Yuxi?" "She went to take care of something. What is it? Where did she go? Don't ask. She'll probably contact you in a few days."
Liu Lihua could only go inside to eat with a heavy heart. Seeing her like that, her father could only say to her, "It's not a bad thing, and it's not dangerous for her. What you need to do now is to act as usual. Also, if your family calls looking for Yuxi, just say that Yuxi is in our room with my husband and me. Don't let your family worry."
Regardless of her inner thoughts, Liu Lihua replied, "I understand, Dad!"
Liu Yuxi arrived in Beijing at 9 p.m. Before boarding the plane, Wang Heng called the regimental political commissar and asked him to send a car to pick him up. The political commissar knew that something must have happened, but he didn't ask on the phone and only said that he would make arrangements.
So, after they got off the plane, they took the military vehicle directly back to their unit; the political commissar was still waiting for them in the barracks and hadn't gone home. Then came another explanation and demonstration. The political commissar immediately led them to the division headquarters, where the highest-ranking officer was the division commander.
It was almost 1 a.m. when they finally met the division commander, but they couldn't delay any longer once they knew about it. The division commander used a secure internal phone to report the matter to the army commander, and the four of them waited in the division commander's office, knowing they wouldn't be able to go home.
Seeing that Liu Yuxi's head was nodding off in sleep, they let her sleep on the sofa. The three of them stayed together, smoking and exchanging words from time to time. "Xiao Wang, do you think what the girl said is true?"
"Commander, I think it might be true. After all, she's my sister-in-law's younger sister, and she's always been perfectly normal." The political commissar asked, "Is it possible she was traumatized by her parents' passing?" "And how do you explain the spatial dimension?"
Yes, they all knew that if Liu Yuxi had only talked about what would happen in the future and said that she was reborn, they probably wouldn't have believed it. But because of the appearance of the space, they actually believed Liu Yuxi's statement, they just didn't want to believe it subjectively.
They waited until dawn. Breakfast was brought over by the guards outside the door. After they finished eating, they heard footsteps outside the door. Commander Liu Dahai came in directly, while the others stood guard outside. After a few people saluted, Liu Yuxi had no choice but to repeat the explanation and demonstration again.
The army commander knew about the situation before he arrived, but he was still somewhat shocked when he saw it on the spot. That night, the history of Liu Yuxi's ancestors for eighteen generations was thoroughly investigated, and the possibility of foreign interference was ruled out. The next step was to verify it in secrecy.
