Afterlife Department

Chapter 497 - Wallace

Hao Baiyun nodded. "Thank you." He spoke before he turned to Gu Xingfeng. "You can leave us now." He told him.

This surprised Yi Bing, Huo Ling and Shi Jiu, but they didn't show it. They then remembered that Shou Ji said about Hao Baiyun's and Gu Xingfeng's relationship in private and what Hao Baiyun said just now which is implying of driving Gu Xingfeng away is a confirmation of Shou Ji's speculation.

Gu Xingfeng froze. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Hao Baiyun, but then stopped as if he recalled something. In the end, he turned to Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Shi Jiu and Shou Ji and slightly nodded at them. "I'll be leaving xiao Yun in your care." He told them before he turned and left alone, leaving all the bodyguards with Hao Baiyun.

"Let's go?" Hao Baiyun spoke.

"Yes." The four 'people' answered. Actually, Gu Xingfeng not present is convenient to them since they wanted to ask Hao Baiyun, someone who is related to the military, about Yu Yan.

…

"Brother? Brother!" Emily called after she opened the door and saw Wallace Daune lying on the floor, unconscious. "Brother!" she cried and knelt beside him as she touched him, only to feel that his clothes are soaking due to sweat. "Call an ambulance!" she yelled outside.

"Yes!" the staff hurriedly answered and immediately left while their bodyguards who was waiting somewhere came in and helped Wallace up. Fortunately, his spiritual strength and mental strength aren't fluctuating anymore thus they weren't harmed.

When the ambulance arrived and Emily sat inside to accompany her elder brother, she can't help but recall the time that her elder brother returned to them.

Wallace Daune was kidnapped when he was born. Their mother gave birth to him in the middle of travelling after an accident happened and her water bag broke. The ship she was in was hijacked by the space pirates and she almost died during the rescue when the military and the space pirates exchanged fires. She was injured and heavily bled, resulting to her fainting from blood loss.

When she finally woke up, she was in the hospital. But, her baby was gone. She asked everyone if they saw her child but none of them know of his whereabouts. Her husband also used his connections to pry open the mouths of the passengers in the ship with his wife at that time, but it was futile. It was as if the child has disappeared like a smoke. It was as if it was a nightmare.

Years passed by and she fell into a depression. But, fortunately, a light lit up her dark world after her son was gone. She was pregnant, and it was a daughter. Although her pregnancy was complicated this time, but it gave her hope. Her daughter was miraculously born safe, and she and her husband pampered her to the fullest. As she grew up, they didn't hide it from her that she has an elder brother, and she also longed for her unknown elder brother, wishing day and night that she could see him, finally found him.

It's as if the heaven heard her wish and it was granted. She was visiting a friend who lived on a planet inhabited by Zergs but was rescued by the military. Regretfully, when her friend wanted to thank the general, she learned that the general died in explosion.

Emily was on her way to see her friend when she saw a man lying on the stretcher that was pushed by the nurses, probably just finished for his check-up. It was just an inadvertent glance, but it changed her family's life that instant. Until now, she still could feel the thrill, the shock and joy when she saw her elder brother for the first time.

That day was bound to be restless. She shouted that it was her elder brother. At first, the staff of the hospital thought that she had gone crazy since in Wallace's information, his family is the Wei family. But, she called her parents and immediately, they arrived. How did she determine that he was her missing elder brother? His face is both of their parents! The shape of his face and his brows are like their father's while his lips and nose, and the shape of his eyes are from their mother's! She has been sticking with their parents for all of her life so she is very familiar of their faces!

That day should have created a big wave due to her actions. But, the next day, it's as if nothing has happened, except that Wallace was gone in the hospital, along with his records. It's as if he didn't exist. That's how efficient father Daune. Emily, meanwhile, apologized to her friend that she hasn't come that day because there was an accident. Then, she left with her parents, taking her now found elder brother along with them, as well as all of the information relevant to her elder brother.

The space was vast but finally, their family was reunited. They learned that her elder brother was adopted by the Wei family after they found him on the street. But, as for how he ended up on the street, the Wei family didn't know. It was just out of their kindness that they took the poor child in, not knowing that he is actually the prince of the Daune royal family! As for why no one knows of the Daune royal family, it is because they are very low-profile and doesn't like the media, only coming out to socialize if it is necessary. One of the reasons for this is because their business involved the underworld. Not to mention that the planet they rule in is very distant.

This is why 'Wallace Moone' disappeared like a smoke, just like how he did when he was still a baby. When he finally woke up, he became Wallace Daune from Wallace Moone and Wei Shi. It was like he was reborn, especially when they found out that he didn't remember anything before he woke up. His family was already very happy that they found him and he returned to them, and even more happy that he forgot his past which is very tragic – from being kidnapped when he was young, bullied in the Wei family and treated like a servant, and was also suppressed in the military, until that accident happened.

But, little did they know that Wallace actually retained his memories. He just told them that he had amnesia since he wanted to sound them out first, and later wanted to make them feel happy after confirming that they were indeed his real family. In the end, it was only Emily that he told about this, and Emily was very happy that he trusted her.

"His mental strength and spiritual strength upgraded!" the doctor exclaimed when he got the result of Wallace's condition. He immediately relayed the information to Emily. "His past headaches and sleeping spells… it is because his brain became even more developed thus resulting to his mental strength and spiritual strength becoming stronger. He has now SS-rank mental strength and SS-spiritual strength." He told her.

Emily sighed in relief as she weakly fell on the chair. Her heart hanging on her throat finally settled down. "Will there be repercussions after this?" she asked. She is still afraid that something might happen to her elder brother again. She, especially their parents, can't take it.

"For now, there is none." The doctor answered. "But, we still have to observe him for a week to be certain." He told her.

Emily nodded in understanding and thanked him before she went to see her elder brother. On the way, she called their parents, informing them that something came up and they have to stay for a week in the planet. Their parents agreed.

"Sorry." Someone apologized when they bumped into her.

Emily almost dropped her phone and turned to see who it was. Her bodyguards that are hiding in the corners immediately moved and surrounded her, but she raised her hand to stop them when she recognized the person. "Lieutenant colonel Yu Yan." She spoke.

Yu Yan was startled and he raised his head to see a beautiful and elegant woman. "Hello. You know me?" he asked, surprised.

Emily nodded. "I've heard of you." She answered.

Yu Yan smiled. "So that's it. May I know who you are?" he asked. He was too busy in the military and has no time to socialize lately.

"Just a fan of the former general." She answered as she stared at Yu Yan's face. But, seeing that there were no ripples on his expression, she excused herself. "My name is Emily. It was nice meeting lieutenant colonel Yu Yan. Goodbye." She said and then left to go to her elder brother's room.

Meanwhile, Yu Yan watched her leave until she disappeared before he resumed on his way. His head is aching lately and he thinks it was due to stress. He didn't know that the girl he just met went to see his former comrade-in-arms whom he has now forgotten.
