Chapter 138 The Unheard Chapter
Wen Shumu had actually wanted to investigate for a long time, but he felt it would be impolite to do so in front of the person involved.
Now that Blackfire had spoken, he quickly searched the StarNet.
The more I look, the more shocked I become.
Blackfire is actually a Class A wanted criminal of the Empire. He has threatened the late emperor many times and attempted to assassinate him. He also controls a large-scale space pirate group.
"A general with a bright future should not have a father who is a space pirate."
Wen Shumu paused slightly, then hesitated and said, "I think... he wouldn't mind your identity."
"He doesn't mind, but others will." Blackfire gazed at the vast blue sky ahead. "If I were to acknowledge him as my father, forget about becoming a marshal; he'd probably have to drop out of military academy."
Wen Shumu had to admit that Hei Ying was right.
Every soldier in the empire must undergo a rigorous political background check. If it is discovered that Ling Suyu has such a father, he will certainly be unable to continue on this path.
Wen Shumu then asked, "When did you find out about him?"
Now it seems that Hei Ying is not the irresponsible father he imagined. If he had known about Ling Suyu's existence earlier, he probably wouldn't have let him stay in a place like the desolate planet.
Sure enough, Black Firefly remained silent for a moment before saying, "After he entered the military academy..."
Having been wanted for so many years, Hei Ying has managed to thrive, which means she naturally has her own unique information channels, especially focusing on news related to Ling Yun.
Ling Suyu's outstanding performance after entering the military academy attracted the attention of the military's high command, and his blood relationship with Ling Yun gradually became known to the high command.
The news quickly reached Blackfire's ears.
Counting back from Ling Suyu's age, Ling Yun became pregnant in the same year he left her.
In addition, Ling Suyu resembles him in appearance.
He was absolutely certain that this was his child.
It is his and Ling Yun's child.
The stealth mech was extremely fast and soon came to a stop in the manor's square.
Wen Shumu had informed Allison beforehand, but didn't dare mention who it was. He only said that a guest was coming and would arrive in a mech, so the guards didn't need to panic.
Allison was already waiting at the door. The lady had gone to the palace and even brought guests back. To be able to pilot a mecha in a place like the Imperial Star where mechas are prohibited, she must be some kind of important person.
Could it be His Majesty the Emperor?
As Allison's thoughts wandered, he suddenly caught sight of a giant black mech standing beside the fountain, which nearly made him faint.
Why didn't the mecha drive in?
Before leaving the cockpit, Wen Shumu said, "Why don't you take off your mask? I haven't told Allison your identity, and wearing this mask might arouse his suspicion."
Blackfire nodded, took off her mask, and threw it onto her seat.
Alpha is probably around the same age as Yi Hao, and his appearance is very similar to Ling Suyu's. However, Ling Suyu has incorporated his mother's best features, making him even more refined and handsome.
Wen Shumu was momentarily distracted.
Allison, who also saw Blackfire, was in a daze.
The butler's mind raced as he recalled all the melodramatic TV dramas he had watched over the years, and he suddenly became alert.
The lady loves the marshal so much, she certainly wouldn't do this on her own initiative...
Could it be that His Majesty found an Alpha who looks like the Marshal to act as a stand-in in order to comfort his wife and distract him?!
He looks quite old, definitely older than the marshal.
Oh dear, I should have known better than to tell Loren that the lady wasn't feeling well!
What terrible ideas are these, Your Majesty!
Wen Shumu noticed Allison's ever-changing expression and cleared his throat: "This is... uh..."
He didn't know how to introduce Blackfire, and there was no record of Blackfire's name on the StarNet.
Black Firefly continued, "My surname is Jian."
Allison gave a forced smile and said, "Mr. Jane, hello. I'm Allison, the butler here. You can just tell me what you need. Our marshal isn't here, and the madam and you are not of equal status, so perhaps..."
He suddenly squeezed between the two: "It's better not to stand so close."
Wen Shumu and Hei Ying: "..."
Wen Shumu had a feeling that Allison had misunderstood something. There were other waiters present, and he couldn't explain it to them, so he could only lead Hei Ying to the reception room first.
Allison usually kept his distance, but this time he followed them closely, occasionally glancing at Blackfire with a critical look on his face.
Wen Shumu was afraid that if things continued like this, Hei Ying would hit him.
Upon arriving at the reception room, Wen Shumu quickly made up an excuse to send Allison away: "His Majesty will send someone over later with something very important, so it would be best if you received it."
Allison then left, turning back every few steps. As he left, he arranged for a waiter to serve tea to stay by his side, ensuring that the two would never have a chance to be alone.
Wen Shumu smiled sheepishly: "Allison isn't usually like this; he might have misunderstood something."
He tentatively asked, "Can I explain it to him?"
The question is whether Black Firefly can tell Allison that he and Ling Suyu are father and son.
Black Firefly had been silently watching Ling Suyu, and knew that this butler was kind-hearted and extremely loyal to Ling Suyu, so she nodded slightly.
Allison rushed back shortly afterward, carrying a delicate little box, which he handed to Wen Shumu: "Loren delivered this personally."
The fact that the chief eunuch of the palace was mobilized suggests that it must be something very important.
Then he saw Wen Shumu hand over this important item to the black-clad Alpha.
Allison: ? ? ?
How can you mess with a stand-in of unknown origin!
He took a deep breath and was about to speak when Wen Shumu pulled him away from the reception room and had the waiter come out as well, leaving only Hei Ying alone.
Wen Shumu quietly closed the door to the living room and turned to meet Allison's complex gaze.
Wen Shumu asked the waiter to leave first, leaving only him and Allison in the corridor.
"We're not what you think, and I'm confused too," Wen Shumu sighed. "This person is... an elder to both me and the Marshal."
Allison exclaimed in surprise, "An elder?!"
He was also the Marshal's elder.
Allison was quick-witted. Connecting the dots with Blackfire's appearance, an incredulous expression crossed his face. He lowered his voice and asked, "Could he be the Marshal's biological father?"
Wen Shumu nodded.
Allison was struck dumb, and even wanted to pinch his own philtrum.
What did he do in front of his marshal father?!

Inside the reception room, Black Firefly held the small box steadily in her palm, stared at it for a long time, and then slowly reached out to open it.
After opening the box, a small terminal was found inside.
This type of terminal cannot be used for communication; it can only be used for recording and projection.
Blackfire raised and lowered his hand several times before pressing the button on the terminal to project the image, his hand trembling slightly.
Suddenly, a slender figure appeared in the air in front of them.
The familiar face that had haunted his dreams for thirty years revealed an extremely gentle smile, and he softly called out, "Xiao You."
The once silent black pupils rippled with emotion, and Black Firefly seemed to have lost all her energy, unable even to blink.
"Youyou." She called out affectionately again, a hint of helplessness in her smile. "If I could, I would really like to call you that to your face."
A single tear rolled down Hei Ying's cheek as he softly replied, "Sister Yun, I'm here."
Unfortunately, the people in the projection will never hear his response.
