Chapter 1068 Funeral
"Okay." In response to Yuan Zhou's words, Ling Hong nodded quietly again.
"It's really strange. What's wrong with this man?" Wu Hai looked at Ling Hong with a mysterious look on his face.
It took a while to realize that Yuan Zhou just said he had a day off today.
"Compass, aren't you? Why do you need to rest? Wait, I don't agree." Wu Hai immediately started making trouble, joking that nothing was as important as his meal.
Even if the rich man looks too sad, the worst he can do is treat him to a fish dinner to make up for it.
No matter what, I can't rest.
Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou in shock, with a puzzled look on his face.
But before Yuan Zhou could explain, or Wu Hai became more noisy, Yin Ya and Jiang Changxi came together.
What these two people said right away really meant right away.
It had only been eight minutes since Yuan Zhou made the call, and the two of them arrived at Yuan Zhou's store.
Yin Ya was wearing an off-white suit, her hair was tied into a ponytail, she was carrying a printed bag in her hand, and a pair of simple black mid-heeled shoes on her feet. Her thin brows were furrowed, and her moist eyes were looking at Yuan Zhou worriedly. .
Jiang Changxi, on the other hand, was wearing a black women's suit, a pair of black high heels, and a classic black leather bag in her hand, all in black.
But her usually smiling eyes were now extra nervous. She first looked at Yuan Zhou's expression, and then looked at Ling Hong, who was leaning against the wall with his back, and felt a little at ease.
"Compass, how could you..." Wu Hai didn't even turn his head when he heard the footsteps, and spoke directly, but was interrupted by Jiang Changxi before he finished speaking.
"You are not allowed to speak." Jiang Changxi walked between the three of them in a few steps and turned to Wu Hai with a powerful and serious voice.
Wu Hai frowned for a moment, and when he was about to refute, he suddenly touched his moustache and became quiet again. Perhaps he was thinking of Wu Lin, or the expressions on Jiang Changxi and Yin Ya's faces were too bad.
"You haven't said it yet, right?" Seeing Wu Hai quieten down, Jiang Changxi turned back to Ling Hong and asked.
"Yeah." Ling Hong hummed lightly and did not move.
Jiang Changxi nodded and didn't speak for a moment, but Yin Ya beside her spoke.
"Yuanzhou,
I am coming. "Yin Ya said in a soft tone.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou had a bad feeling in his heart, but he nodded with a gentle face.
"Since everyone is here, let me speak." Jiang Changxi waited for the two of them to finish their greetings before speaking.
"Ling Hong can't talk about this, but it happened three days ago." Jiang Changxi's tone was serious, not frivolous at all.
"Say." Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"There was social news three days ago. An old man was stabbed while trying to stop a thief. After being sent to the hospital, he died after being rescued." Jiang Changxi took a deep breath, and then said every word.
Yuanzhou's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Jiang Changxi and Ling Hong with serious eyes.
Ling Hong lowered his head when he heard Jiang Changxi's words and couldn't see his expression clearly, while Wu Hai's hand paused on his mustache and stopped moving.
Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou herself with a worried look.
"It's Uncle Jia, right?" Yuan Zhou said calmly and in a low voice.
"Well, it's Uncle Jia." Yin Ya nodded.
Although Uncle Jia has retired for a long time, he will definitely stop it when he sees this kind of thing. No matter from which aspect, he is worthy of being a former soldier.
I just didn’t expect thieves to be so rampant now.
"Uncle Jia has no relatives. Ling Hong's grandfather found out and took over the affairs of Uncle Jia's death, so Ling Hong hasn't been here for the past three days." Jiang Changxi said.
"What about the thief?" Wu Hai asked.
"I was caught yesterday and am awaiting legal trial." Ling Hong said through gritted teeth.
"We'll go there right away." Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and then said.
"I drove here, so we can go there together in my car." Ling Hong said.
"Yeah." Several people nodded and walked out of the alley together.
Yuan Zhou and Wu Hai were both wearing sportswear and followed a few people out of the small street. It was rare for Yuan Zhou to walk on the small street openly after asking for leave.
It was actually still early at this time, and the shops were just some steamed bun shops. During this period, some people greeted Yuan Zhou, but Yuan Zhou just nodded and said nothing.
The five of them walked to the intersection in silence. There was a black SUV parked there, with a ticket already posted on it. It must have been posted by the traffic policeman who was meticulous and never showed mercy.
Because the traffic police were still there, and because Ling Hong didn't take out the key after getting out of the car, and he didn't even close the driver's door.
"I'm sorry, we are in an emergency now and it's really troublesome." Yuan Zhou took a step forward and said to the frowning traffic policeman.
"If something happens, you can't just ignore it. If you don't do it next time, remember to pay the ticket." The traffic police frowned and looked at a few people, then left.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou said softly.
The traffic policeman who heard this waved his hand and left.
"I'll drive." Yin Ya looked at Ling Hong and said.
"Okay, here you go." Ling Hong subconsciously took out the keys but found that there was nothing in his pocket.
"The key is still inserted, Yin Ya, please slow down." Yuan Zhou pointed to the key on the steering wheel and said.
"I'll pay attention." Yin Ya nodded seriously.
"The three of us will sit in the back seat, and Jiang Changxi, you will sit in the passenger seat." Yuan Zhou said, opening the back seat door and letting Wu Hai go in first.
Wu Hai was rarely quiet, so he quietly went in and sat down. Then Yuan Zhou sat in the middle and grabbed Ling Hong to get in the car.
After a few people were seated, Yin Ya started the car and started slowly.
Yes, Yin Ya knew about Uncle Jia on the way here because she met Jiang Changxi who was coming over.
And Jiang Changxi knew it one day earlier than they did.
Except for Jiang Changxi's voice pointing the way, the car was unusually quiet and no one spoke.
Until we drove near Muma Mountain, there was more green on the side of the car, and there were even birds chirping. At this time, Yin Ya silently opened the car window.
"I still owe Uncle Jia a breakfast." Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"I still owe Grandpa Jia a dinner and wine." Ling Hong was stunned, and then said in a low tone.
Wu Hai did not communicate with anyone else and muttered to himself: "All thieves should be shot, shot, shot."
"Fortunately, Uncle Jia and Mr. Ling." Yuanzhou thought of the boxer who was left with only a nurse to deliver his belongings.
Whether it was the food or the wine that was owed, I could never pay it back. After a few words, the car fell into silence again, but at the same time, we arrived at the place. It was a large courtyard, very quiet, and there was a black man holding his arm outside the door. and white flowers.
Yin Ya stopped the car, then several people got out of the car and walked straight to the villa.
After passing the yard, we came to the hall. Uncle Jia's coffin was parked in the center of the hall. Uncle Jia's portrait hung on the wall, but the photo was too young.
"He gave this to me after the treat. He said it was a photo of him before he joined the war. He insisted that he looked much better than when I was young." Just when a few people were stunned, Mr. Ling's hoarse voice sounded.
"I just didn't expect that this old guy has no other photos except this one. Now, this is more handsome than me." Mr. Ling cursed as he spoke, and his cane made a dissatisfied sound on the ground.
"Yeah." Several people nodded at the same time but did not answer.
"I didn't call anyone else, just these few. Captain Jia wants to come here because you want to meet them."
"Especially this little boss Yuan, aren't you talking about eating his food until you die?" Mr. Ling said.
