As Lin Wu spoke, the surrounding area seemed to become even more silent.
Breathing and heartbeat were audible.
A lengthy silence.
After a while, Gu Siyin was the first to break the silence. She hesitated slightly, "Lin Wu, who are you?"
The others were startled, not expecting Gu Siyin to ask this question.
Seeing the reactions of the others, Gu Siyin paused and then forced a patient explanation, "Sorry, I've been quite busy and seldom have time to catch up on outside information. I also haven't paid attention to happenings in the outside world for several months."
Lin Wu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Siyin looked at Lin Wu with uncertainty and continued, "Forgive my bluntness, but... you... you look very much like my mother. Just now, someone said that... I am your biological sister? Do you know my mother, Chi Yangzhi, or are you her... niece? But I've never heard of my mother having any relatives; she was an orphan..."
Suddenly, Gu Siyin's expression changed.
