Extra 4: The Boy Passed Away
"No problem, let's do it in the afternoon. I'll meet them in the afternoon."
Chu Lingyun smiled and agreed that even if they didn't come to him, Chu Lingyun would come to them this time.
He has already prepared a lot of funds in Hong Kong, which can be sent to the organization through Mr. Huo. Although it cannot completely help all the country's needs, it can at least help part of it.
"I would like to thank you on their behalf. From today on, Comrade Zuo Xuan will accompany you all the way."
Secretary Wang happily replied that Zuo Xuan was the one invited to accompany Chu Lingyun this time. After all, Secretary Wang’s identity was a bit sensitive, but Zuo Xuan was different.
He was originally Chu Lingyun's subordinate. When the old leader returned to China, it was natural for Zuo Xuan to accompany him.
Chen Zhanli can also do it, but he is not as suitable as the left-handed player.
After all, after Chen Zhanli's return became known, it was easy to guess that he had not really betrayed him at first. Moreover, Chen Zhanli had not been back for a long time and was currently traveling across the country.
Chen Zhanli wants to take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
I have worked hard all my life and worked hard all my life. Today's country is finally the same as their original dream. The people are the masters of the country, and the common people have truly become the masters.
At this time, he should be allowed to do what he likes instead of being disturbed.
"Okay, please, Comrade Zuo Xuan."
Chu Lingyun agreed again. He knew the situation in the country better than anyone else, but after all, he had not been back for decades. It was convenient for him to have a former subordinate following him, so that he could better understand the situation in the country.
"This is what we should do. Comrade Zuo Xuan is outside the door. Just call him when you go out."
Secretary Wang stood up. His mission had been completed. Next, he would secretly protect Chu Lingyun's family and would not appear in public again.
Chu Lingyun sent him out personally and called Zuo Xuan in.
Zuo Xuan is one of our own and an old subordinate. Now that he is so old, it is impossible to keep him waiting outside.
Chu Yuanchen and his wife had already woken up. They hugged each other and sat in front of the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, feeling extremely satisfied.
Chu Lingyun restored the appearance of the outside of their bedroom as much as possible to make the home look as original as possible. This is what parents want to see and want the most.
On the same day, Taipei Hospital.
Bao Shengqun, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked haggard and had a withered face.
His life has entered its final moments.
His son and daughter were at his bedside, as well as many of his grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.
Bao Shengqun's wife passed away three years ago. In the past three years, his health has deteriorated day by day. As he gets older and has self-awareness, he understands that today is his final day.
"After I leave, bury your mother and I together first, but in the future, whenever there is a chance, we will be moved back to our hometown."
Bao Shengqun said weakly that he was not the only one who had this idea, including the deceased old man.
Returning fallen leaves to their roots is the last wish of many Chinese people.
Foreigners can’t understand that if everyone is gone, where can we stay?
But what Chinese people, especially older Chinese people, are most afraid of is dying in a foreign land. After a certain age, Chinese people are simply unwilling to go out again.
Afraid of an accident happening outside.
This is how corpse driving was done in ancient times. When people are gone, as long as there are conditions, no matter how far away they are, they have to find a way to go back.
"Dad, you'll be fine."
Several children's eyes were red, and Bao Shengqun's granddaughter, who had grown up loving and loving her, was already crying.
"I'm getting older. I've been dreaming about your mother lately. It's time to go."
Bao Shengqun smiled and shook his head. At the age when he knew his destiny, he had no fear of leaving.
Being able to live until now is a gift from God.
The children and grandchildren did not speak. The doctor told them the answer: Bao Shengqun was at the end of his rope and could not survive for a few days.
The Bao family's life is not bad now.
Bao Shengqun had a flexible mind. After Qi Limin's death, he left the intelligence system and started his own business. He caught up with the eldest son's full development period. The company did very well. Today, the family assets are probably tens of millions of dollars.
Taipei has indeed produced many wealthy people in recent years. The rapid economic development will inevitably lead some people to become rich first.
Bao Shengqun has a flexible mind, and most people can't fool him. He doesn't have too many ambitions, as long as he makes a profit, and he doesn't pursue huge profits. Over the past few decades, his assets have increased more than ten times, and he has reached the current scale.
As early as ten years ago, Bao Shengqun stopped taking care of business matters and left everything to his son.
"Dad, don't think too much. The doctor said you can be cured."
Bao Shengqun's son Bao Qiusheng said against his will that he deliberately deceived and wanted to give his father more confidence.
"Qiu Sheng stays, the others go out first."
Bao Shengqun said lightly. Everyone was stunned, but still followed Bao Shengqun's request and all went outside the ward.
This is a separate ward with good sound insulation.
"Qiusheng, I have a secret to tell you. Remember, don't tell anyone."
Bao Shengqun said slowly that when he gave birth to his son, he chose a homophonic name for his son.
Miss Qiu's Qiu.
Without Miss Qiu, whom he had never met before, Qiu Sheng would not have been born. After having a son, Bao Shengqun no longer had any regrets, and now he only had his last wish.
"You said, I will never tell anyone."
Bao Qiusheng responded hurriedly. He was born late and is only in his thirties this year, which is still relatively young.
His father loves him the most. Now, 80% of the Bao family's property is under his control, and the remaining 20% belongs to his sister and the others.
The core part, Bao Shengqun had already handed it over to him.
Bao Shengqun was still somewhat feudal in his bones. He wanted to leave the family property to his son, and his daughter would just have enough for her. Besides, he gave his daughter a lot, enough for her family to live a stable life.
As long as there is no prodigal son, his great-grandson will not be able to spend it all.
"Actually, I am from that side." Bao Shengqun whispered. This was his biggest secret. His wife didn't know about it until she died.
"That side?"
Bao Qiusheng was a little confused.
"Across the sea, people from the mainland."
Bao Shengqun had to explain. Bao Qiusheng's eyes widened and he quickly covered his mouth.
He knew that his father was a spy in his early years, and a big spy.
His father was actually a member of the Red Party?
"I didn't join them, but I did a lot for them. The eldest son intends to ease the relationship over there. Sooner or later, we will be able to interact with each other. At that time, you can take my and your mother's bones and move over together."
Bao Shengqun continued to say that this wish of his could not be realized during his lifetime, and he could only let his son help him realize it.
After all, he was considered a member of that side, and he had done a lot for that side, and he was a meritorious official.
"Remember, my code name is Little Boy, and I have been working for them since 1937. My initial code name was Miss Qiu. If they don't recognize me, then you can spend some money and find a way to send me and your mother over there."
Bao Shengqun told his biggest secret, and even told his son some of the things he had done.
These are his achievements, which can be verified.
Although he had never really come into contact with the people over there, he had done a lot of things, and even provided a lot of intelligence for them after arriving in Taiwan.
He did not ask for any reward, but only hoped that he could eventually return to his roots.
"Do you remember all of them?"
After speaking, Bao Shengqun asked his son, he knew that his son was very smart and could remember these.
"Remember."
Bao Qiusheng nodded hurriedly, he knew that these things could not be written down, and once they were discovered, it would definitely be a disaster for them.
Even if it is not as severe as in the past, the people above still have many ways to deal with them.
No wonder his father drove everyone out and only dared to say it when he left himself.
"Very good, I'm tired, I'll sleep for a while."
Bao Shengqun closed his eyes with satisfaction. At first, he was still breathing a little, but his breathing gradually became weaker and weaker until it stopped completely.
Bao Qiusheng was still recalling his father's words, memorizing all his words, and not paying attention to his father's condition. He looked up suddenly when the machine sounded beside the bed.
"Dad."
Noticing that his father really had no breath, Bao Qiusheng shouted in grief, and his voice startled everyone outside the door. The people outside rushed in without paying attention to the old man's instructions.
After a while, the ward was full of crying.
The little boy who served the organization for many years but did not join the organization passed away.
Chu Lingyun, who was far away in Ningcheng, seemed to have sensed something and looked to the south.
He didn't know what happened, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
"Boss Chu, thank you so much. The two hundred million US dollars you gave us in the early stage can be said to have helped us a lot."
Xu Xiansheng said excitedly. He came to negotiate with Chu Lingyun on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce. Unexpectedly, the progress was very smooth. Boss Chu was willing to provide them with funding, but in the form of business.
They shipped the goods, and Chu Lingyun settled with them in US dollars.
It doesn't matter what the goods are, what matters is to pay them.
And this is the first batch.
"Don't say that, I'm Chinese too."
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. He already knew Xu Xiansheng's identity. In fact, he could guess it without Zuo Xuan's introduction.
Xu Xiansheng looks too much like his father, and is exactly the same as Xu Zhanli back then.
"I'll go back and prepare right away."
Xu Xiansheng stood up and looked at Zuo Xuan gratefully. He thought the reason why this mission went so smoothly was because Zuo Xuan spoke for him.
When he met the plane yesterday, he also noticed that Zuo Xuan and the American boss who came this time were old acquaintances.
But Zuo Xuan knew that he didn't speak for him, it was the team leader who was willing to help.
He is worthy of being the team leader. He spent 200 million US dollars at once. For the current country, this money is very important and can allow them to buy many important things.
What Zuo Xuan and Xu Xiansheng didn't know was that this was only the first time and the first batch.
In addition to Mr. Huo, there are also companies on Feng Yong and Ran Wu's side, which will use various trades to send money to the country. Half of the eight coolies who followed Chu Lingyun back then have left, and only four are left.
The four are still loyal to Chu Lingyun.
Especially Feng Yong and Ran Wu, who have been doing secret things for Chu Lingyun over the years and have cultivated a lot of secret forces for Chu Lingyun outside.
