Chapter 2474 - 2377: Returning Home

In recent years, Huo Sining had more contact with Wu Jun Yaya, and they talked about their experiences in Yun Province more or less.

Wu Jun achieved remarkable results in Falcon, and if things went well, he might reach the heights of Gu Xu.

However, this Soldier King disobeyed orders during a drug bust mission to avenge a comrade tortured to death by drug lords, directly killing five or six drug dealers, shedding his military uniform, and ended up in a military court.

Although this incident ended this Soldier King’s military career, every time Huo Sining heard Gu Xu talk about it, she felt waves of emotion inside and couldn’t control the urge to applaud for Wu Jun, for what he did was so satisfying, truly relieving!

Of course, outsiders found the incident exciting, but in reality, Wu Jun tasted endless bitterness from it.

He shot and killed several drug lords, but he gained nothing, as one of the drug lords escaped and remembered Wu Jun’s face.

Afterward, this person, seeking revenge for his companions, traced back to Wu Jun’s hometown.

At the time, Wu Jun was still waiting for his sentence, completely unaware that his actions had brought disaster upon his parents.

Hence, on a dark and windy night, Wufu Wumu were unexpectedly killed by having their throats slit.

Wu Ya, luckily, escaped the disaster as she was staying overnight at a neighbor’s house for fun.

But the tragedy that befell this family was just beginning.

Wu Jun was forced to retire, could only do manual labor for a living, and his young sister couldn’t follow him, so he had to entrust her to his uncle.

Little did he know, that uncle and aunt were not good people; after Wufu Wumu passed away, not only did they seize his house and land, but they also mistreated his sister severely, making her do all the housework and even dropping out of school.

Wu Jun worked outside, sending almost all his earnings back home, hoping that his uncle and aunt would take better care of Wu Ya because of the money.

But who would have thought that the money went into the greedy pockets of his aunt and never came out?

The aunt not only denied taking his money but also tried to sell off his sister to a remote mountain village as a child bride while he was away working.

If it weren’t for Wu Ya being clever, overhearing the aunt negotiating with the buyer, realizing something was off, and escaping with her schoolbag from home, she might have been sold into a mountain village to be someone’s bride.

In the mountains, a little girl of twelve or thirteen, sold to a poverty-stricken village, it would be like calling for help with no response, impossible to escape.

In many remote mountain villages in Huaxia Country, it requires walking miles of mountain roads to leave the mountains. Without an ox cart, one can’t walk out solely on foot.

Moreover, places where little girls are bought as brides are all accomplices, and any hint of escape is quickly discovered and caught by the villagers. Escape is impossible, left only to bear children and be enslaved.

Just thinking of such a scene, even Huo Sining felt a chill, let alone Wu Ya.

So, Wu Ya hating her uncle and aunt is understandable, no wonder the little girl was so resistant to returning to her hometown.

However, now that Wu Jun’s status has changed, protecting his sister is easier, and as for that uncle and aunt, he has long severed ties with them, treating them as strangers. If they don’t know better and try to get involved, his fists will certainly not be polite.

They flew directly from S City to Dali on New Year’s Day, arriving at the town of Wu Jun’s old home after a bumpy ride, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Visiting the grave and offering incense couldn’t be done at night, so they directly checked into a motel in town.

It wasn’t that Huo Sining was reluctant to spend money, but Wu Jun’s old home was seventy or eighty kilometers from Dali, a very remote and poor area. The best motel in town was it, wanting to stay in a hotel? Sorry, no way.

Fortunately, Huo Sining also came from a rural background, and although she had lived a high-standard life over the years, she could still accept tough conditions and wasn’t too uncomfortable.

Although Wu Ya hadn’t returned in years, the shadow of this place still lingered in her mind, so once back in town, the little girl’s mood became uneasy, silent, not smiling, very apprehensive.

Even Wu Jun’s expression was somber, looking deeply thoughtful.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

She had always thought of Wu Jun as stable and mature, but seeing his behavior now, she realized that no matter how steadfast one might be, they couldn’t remain indifferent when facing such matters.

Thinking of all that Soldier King experienced in the first half of his life, Huo Sining felt a wave of heartache.

Imagine if Gu Xu hadn’t sent Wu Jun’s resume to her email, this lonely hero might still be working as a porter at that Hongqiao port, struggling to sustain himself and his sister on a meager salary.

Thirty years of the East, thirty years of the West. Perhaps at that time, Wu Jun could never have imagined that within less than three years, his life would have changed so completely?

It wasn’t just a change of status, but a change of perspective. Over these years, as Huo Sining’s company developed step by step, Wu Jun also grew step by step, far from the naive young man he once was.

In recent years, Huo Sining quietly provided Wu Jun with many items containing Spiritual Energy, and his body, originally plagued by hidden injuries from his missions in Falcon, had mostly healed.

In earlier years, whenever it rained, Wu Jun’s body would be in severe pain, but over the years this condition subsided, and has now completely disappeared.

Although Huo Sining never mentioned this in front of Wu Jun or claimed credit, Wu Jun knew in his heart that it must have been Huo Sining’s doing.

The way Huang Chengyi’s leg was cured might not be clear to others, but Wu Jun knew very well, and he was sure that his hidden ailments were cured by Huo Sining’s hand.

Since Huo Sining didn’t speak of it, Wu Jun kept it to himself.

He had long regarded Huo Sining as his own sister, and she held the same place in his heart as his sister Wu Ya. As long as Huo Sining needed him, he would follow her for life, even if it cost his life!
