After thanking Shi Shi, Wenren Sheng left Blood Island World and hurried home.
He already knew that while he had spent three years in Flame World, only three or four months had passed on Earth.
Still, he thought his family probably missed him too...
He wondered how his parents were doing. They had probably cooked a meal and were waiting for him.
More than an hour later, he returned home.
However, the house was completely empty...
He looked around and found only a video recording from his father. "Son, your mom and I went traveling. Since you aren't around, we're going to relax for a few months."
Looking again, he found that even Li Shuangyue had left a message saying he had gone back to his hometown for a visit.
Well, that was a waste of emotion.
"The whole family's gone just like that? Not a single person here? Then why was I in such a hurry to come back?" Wenren Sheng wandered around.
The sprawling villa had once been bustling with life, but now there was not even a single bark from a dog.
Fat Doll was outside training his ants and bees, so he was not home either.
Wenren Sheng flopped sideways onto the sofa, feeling an inexplicable emptiness well up inside him.
Ah, forget it. I'll rest for a few days too.
But the moment he made that decision, a phone call interrupted him.
"Old Wen, you're back?" It was Inspector Liu.
"Yeah, I just got home."
"Perfect. We're planning to turn the space passage you opened earlier into a permanent one. That means we'll have trade markets and raw-material sources equivalent to dozens more Earths in the future!" Inspector Liu said excitedly.
"Uh, you're planning to start trade between the two worlds?" Wenren Sheng's heart stirred.
