“Tick tock ……”
The instruments set up in the ward emitted an ear-piercing sound, and everyone present understood that Wu Zhengmin was dead.
Wu Zhengmin’s wife lost her voice and cried out in pain, and Wu Zhiyong’s face was pale.
Only Wuzhengxiang, standing there in a daze, looked into Wuzhengmin’s eyes and quickly averted his gaze, but he could not forget the last look Wuzhengmin gave him, and to this day, Wuzhengmin still stares at him with his eyes just like that.
Wuzhengxiang turned around and walked out of the ward.
Wu Zhiyong was awakened by the sound of Wuzhengxiang’s walking and came back to his senses for a moment, he looked back deeply at Wuzhengxiang’s back.
A moment later, Wu Zhengxiang walked back in and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll go and make some arrangements first, don’t be too sad when big brother goes.”
After saying that he hurriedly left.
Then Wu Zhiyong immediately stood up and left the ward with quick steps, he went to the corridor and found Xiao Lin, his father’s personal guard, from a group of guards, only to see that Xiao Lin was also looking at him.
Wu Zhiyong winked at Xiao Lin and then walked towards the end of the corridor, who complied and immediately followed.
The two of them arrived at the public toilet at the end of the corridor. Wu Zhiyong looked around and frowned slightly. Xiao Lin was just about to speak when Wu Zhiyong suddenly raised his finger in a gesture of silence, then turned around and walked away.
Xiao Lin was stunned and hurried to follow him, but he saw Wu Zhiyong arrive outside a ward, push open the door and walk in. Xiao Lin immediately followed him in, and Wu Zhiyong said, “Close the door!”
“Young master, this is what the minister told me to give you!” Xiao Lin took out a black object from the slit in his belt buckle and handed it to Wu Zhiyong.
Wu Zhiyong took it and looked at it, but found that it was a memory card, he asked, “This is ……”
Xiao Lin said, “The minister said that you will understand after reading this.”
Wu Zhiyong nodded and asked again, “What else did my father say?”
Kobayashi shook his head and said, “Nothing.”
Wu Zhiyong asked, “Then has anyone come to see my father in the past few days?” He had been in Northern Shaanxi all this time, and if he had not received the call that his father was critically ill, he would not have come back because his current status was so awkward that it would have been better to come back than to stay in Northern Shaanxi.
However, when he knew that his father had also left something for him, he immediately thought of a lot.
Kobayashi nodded and said, “A few people have come to visit the minister.” He said a few names.
Wu Zhiyong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Xiao Lin said, “Eldest young master, if there is nothing else, then I will go back first.”
Wu Zhiyong nodded, and when Xiao Lin had just taken a few steps away, Wu Zhiyong suddenly said, “Xiao Lin, you take care of yourself.”
Looking at the memory card in his hand, Wu Zhiyong’s expression was extraordinarily grave and nervous. He took off his shoes and put the memory card in his socks and hid it, before he walked out of the ward.
After going out, he found that no one was paying attention to the place, and he was then slightly relieved. He couldn’t help but be a little thankful that this was an intensive care ward, and that it was specially prepared for big leaders, so basically no one would suddenly come over, even if the ward was empty.
……
Two days later, the news of Wu Zhengmin’s illness and death was officially announced.
In fact, by this time the entire circle basically knew about it, including places outside of Yanjing. But to many people’s surprise, Wu Zhengmin’s death did not stir up much of a ripple, which had to do with the fact that he had retired to the second line a long time ago.
Nowadays, the pillar of the Wu family is the oldest one, Wu Zhengxiang.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of many people, Wu Zhengmin was originally a man who wore the blame, especially for those in the Wu family lineage. Certain mistakes made by Wu Zhengmin had caused the Wu family lineage to lose a lot of money at one time, and this could not help but make some people have grievances.
So after Wu Zhengmin retired to the second line, not too many people came to his place to walk around.
Now that he had died, at most they would only come over to offer their condolences out of face or for the sake of Wu Zhengxiang and the old man of the Wu family.
What was notable, however, was that the old man of the Wu family did not appear at Wu Zhengmin’s funeral.
Some people said that the old man of the Wu family had suffered a great blow because of Wu Zhengmin’s death and his body had collapsed and he feared that he would not live long.
But others say that in fact, the old man of the Wu family’s health had already failed a long time ago, which is why he did not attend his eldest son’s funeral.
There were also rumours that the old man had secretly expelled Wu Zhengmin from the family because he was angry with him and did not even attend his funeral.
All kinds of rumours were going around, and even Ji Feng, who was far away in Jiangzhou, had heard many of them, but he was inclined to the idea that the Wu family’s old man had failed in health early on.
On the one hand, it was because the old man of the Wu family was already very old and it was time for him to reach his station. On the other hand, it was because of the death of Wuzhengmin. As the eldest son, it would be false to say that the death of Wu Zhengmin did not have a blow to the old man of the Wu family, and in Ji Feng’s opinion, it was certainly not a small blow.
This is because from some of the rumors he heard, it was said that although Wu Zhengxiang was also extremely shrewd, he did not have Wu Zhengmin’s atmosphere and was not a perfect candidate for the head of the family. Perhaps, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had no choice, the Wu family’s senior would never have allowed Wu Zhengxiang to sit on the head of the family!
However, these were only Ji Feng’s guesses, what exactly was the inside story, he wasn’t too sure.
Rather, it was the second brother, Ji Shaolei, who said excitedly during a meal, “Third son, have you heard, the old man of the Wu family is not going to make it.”
Before Ji Feng could come to speak, Ji Zhenguo’s face sank: “Can’t you still block your mouth at dinner? Is everything something that you can comment on?”
Ji Shaolei then wilted.
Ji Shaodong, who had just returned from the Golden Collar, laughed, “Shaolei, you should worry less about these matters! It’s not something we should worry about!”
And when Ji Feng found that his second uncle had no intention to explain, Ji Feng did not ask more questions.
The change in the Wu family, from a subjective point of view, it was good for him, otherwise with the relationship between the Wu family and him, or rather with the Ji family, something might have happened, but now, I’m afraid the Wu family is going to be in chaos for a while.
Although Wu Zhengmin made a lot of mistakes when he was in charge of the faction, he did not have no followers, and he still had a lot of people around him.
However, it was rare for a family to get together, so naturally they would not talk too much about the affairs of other families.
Ji Shaodong asked, “Dad, there are still two years to go before the change of government, can eldest uncle still make a move?”
Ji Zhenguo shook his head and said, “These things will naturally be considered.”
Ji Shaodong stopped asking, he knew that when he reached his father’s level, he respected the law and the system more and more, because only when he reached their level could he understand how important these things really were.
Ji Shaodong, however, also had his own analysis, and he knew that it was precisely because he had to have more of this analysis that he would progress.
So after they had eaten, the three brothers got together again and Ji Shaolei asked first, “Big brother, did you just say that Eldest Uncle can still move a bit?”
Ji Shaodong said, “I think there is this possibility, last time when there was a change of government, although eldest uncle didn’t move in his current position, he was the headmaster at the same time, next time when there is a change of government, the general situation will not change, neither will the general framework, however, eldest uncle may go up to the deputy.”
Ji Shaolei’s eyes lit up at that, “On the deputy? Then isn’t this preparation for five years from now?”
Ji Shaodong nodded and said, “This is also just my analysis, however, to be precise, it is seven years later, but seven years is too long, no one knows what will happen at that time.”
“Big brother is right, seven years is too long, it’s better to focus on the immediate future first.” Ji Feng laughed.
“Last time when there was a change of government, the Wu family boss was sniped, the eldest uncle actually considered a small step forward and took the position of headmaster, this time the Wu family boss is already gone, I heard that the Wu family’s old man’s health is also failing, so I guess it’s soon, then the next target should be a safe bet!” Ji Shaolei laughed.
Ji Shaodong shook his head and said, “This analysis of yours is too optimistic.”
Ji Feng also smiled and nodded, not taking this guess and analysis of Ji Shaolei’s seriously, after all, seven years was too long, and many, many things could happen in between.
And the most important thing was that it was said that the old man of the Wu family was not going to make it, yet, up to now, no one had still confirmed it.
As long as the old man is still alive, there are still variables in everything.
In fact even if the old man of the Wu family is no longer alive, but if Wu Zhengxiang has a very clever wrist, he is still able to form a great resistance to sniping.
There are a lot of variables in between!
Afterwards, Ji Feng carefully asked Li Yantong’s mother and daughter about their situation and chatted for a while about other topics before returning home in the evening.
It was impossible for Ji Shaodong to stay in Jiangzhou for a long time, after all, as his position got higher and higher now, his work became busier and busier, and he had even less time to himself.
“By the way Lao San, it’s time for you to get married, right?” Ji Shaolei suddenly asked.
“Well! Shao Lei’s question is on point, Lao San, since you’ve already graduated, it’s time to think about getting married.” Ji Shaodong said, “After all, your situation is a bit special.”
Ji Feng nodded and said, “I’m thinking about it.”
Marriage ……
Ji Feng fell into deep thought.
For the following period of time, the outside world was still buzzing with activity, while Ji Feng remained buried in researching his weapons, meanwhile, Ji Shaodong and Ji Shaolei’s words made him realise that it was time to take some responsibility and not put it off any further.
This night, Ji Feng’s consciousness entered the intelligent brain space.
“Good day, master.” The wise brain floated in shakily, “May I ask what the master has ordered?”
“You …… this is also programmed?” This way and tone of greeting from the Wisdom Brain, which was almost like a greeting between a person and a human, made Ji Feng quite surprised.
“No, I think the master should like this way of greeting.” The intelligent brain said.
“You think?”
Ji Feng was instantly amused, “So, you can think?”
