Chapter 524: Farewell, Mr. Gu!

Looking at the continuous drizzle, Li Qing took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lighting it with the help of the fire handed over by Zhang Dongxiu next to him.

He took a deep breath, and the smoke he exhaled slowly dissipated in the rain.

He took out the letter written by Gu Lao to him, tore open the seal that was very sticky, and carefully took out the letter inside.

Obviously, the handwriting inside the letter was not as strong as that on the envelope, and some of it was even a little crooked.

I think the envelope was prepared long ago, and the letter was written recently.

"Ah Qing:

I am glad to receive your letter!

When you read this letter, I must have passed the Yangguan Road. Please do not be sad!

I have lived in poverty since I was a child. I was admitted to the university with a strong determination. Seeing the mess in the country, I resolutely gave up writing and joined the army, but after many twists and turns, I still embarked on the road of scientific research.

Because the country is poor and weak, I can't just stand by and watch. I only have a slightly smart brain that can be used by the country.

So I decided to study in Russia and specialize in the most advanced aircraft manufacturing technology. Fortunately, I have learned something and can serve the motherland.

.....

Speaking of which, I still want to thank you!

Although we have been together for a short time, we have similar temperaments.

The old man is about to die, so I will tell you my true feelings.

You are a few decades later! If you were the same age as me, you would be a general who is good at fighting.

Before I met you, I had heard people talking about you, saying that you were a great hero.

Don't blame me, in fact, I sneered at the beginning. I came from that era, and I have seen many so-called heroes.

So I thought you were just like that.

But after I met you, I found that the word "hero" was a derogatory term for you, especially when we were chatting around the fire, I still remember what you said.

I have never flattered people in my life, but what you did really moved me. I heard that you had a dispute with the Turks over the Varian a few days ago, and I was very worried.

Fortunately, there was no danger. We have seen everything you have done for the country..."

Li Qing saw this, and his hand holding the letter trembled a little, because the following words became more crooked, and some words were even difficult to distinguish.

He guessed and guessed before he knew what Gu Lao meant:

"My mind is a little confused, and what I said above is not logical at all. I'm sorry to make you laugh.

There are still many things I want to tell you, and I also hope that you will promise me that more advanced plane.

But, my old bones can't hold on any longer.

I know that I don't have much time left, and my funeral has been handed over to my student Sima Sa. I specifically asked him to wait until he handles my affairs before sending this letter. I don't know if he listened to it.

I also told him that if you come, I must take you to eat the braised pork I promised you.

Finally, I don't know what secrets you have in your heart, but please put down the burden in your heart and live your life well.

Okay, I've written so much, even I, an old man, am a little annoyed.

Ah Qing, take care!

I'm leaving, leaving...."

After reading the whole letter, Li Qing took a deep breath. Many people saw that he was the leader of the multinational organization New World, the overlord of the Southeast Asian underworld, and the head of the Java Chinese Autonomous Province.

But not many people know his inner thoughts. Gu Lao just treats himself as a simple friend regardless of age difference, and lets himself live a good life.

He has only felt this kind of pure blessing from two people, one is his grandfather, and the other is Hong Kong Huo Lao.

Many people care about whether you fly high, but few people care about whether you are tired.

Li Qing sniffed, solemnly folded the letter again and stuffed it into the envelope, and then put it in his left chest pocket.

He looked up at the light rain like a curtain, thinking that maybe this is the whole world's sorrow.

The people around have been paying attention to Li Qing's movements. Some people have a moving expression on their faces and want to talk to Li Qing.

If they really catch Li Qing's eyes, they will rise to the top in politics or business.

But Zhang Dongxiu and Crow did not give them a chance, and directly used their eyes to drive away those who wanted to get close to them.

At this time, a business car hurriedly drove in from the entrance of Babaoshan Funeral Home. Several men in black got out of the car, wearing a special badge on their left chest.

Those who were well-informed knew that this was the logo of the National Security Bureau. A young man hurriedly walked towards Li Qing.

Zhang Dongxiu and Crow took a look and did not let anyone stop him. They both knew the person coming.

The person coming was the National Security personnel who came to Beijing to protect Li Qing and others last time.

"Mr. Li Qing, we are outside. If you have anything, please call us."

Apparently, they had just received the news of Li Qing's arrival and hurried over.

Everyone who saw this scene secretly smacked their lips. Li Qing was more valued than they thought, and it was estimated that he must be ranked high in the minds of the top leaders.

"Yeah."

Li Qing hummed softly. He knew that it would be useless for him to ask them to go back. This was their job.

The National Security personnel had just walked back to the car when several military vehicles appeared in front of the funeral home.

A solemn-looking officer stepped down from the leading Warrior vehicle. Some people secretly glanced at the gold star on the man's shoulder and knew that the man was a major general.

The man didn't care about other people's eyes and walked straight to Li Qing, "Brother Li, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming."

That's right, the man was Qi Gang.

"Brother Qi, I also made a last-minute decision. I met Mr. Gu and I came to see him off."

Qi Gang looked at the portrait in the mourning hall and nodded with a little regret, "I also came to bid farewell to Mr. Gu the day before yesterday. It was too late when Mr. Gu's illness was discovered. If it had been intervened earlier, perhaps... perhaps it could have extended his life a little."

Li Qing smiled and shook his head, "Life is determined by heaven, Mr. Gu has no regrets in this life!"

The two stayed under the eaves until Mr. Gu was cremated, and followed the long team directly to the cemetery.

The country has reserved cemeteries here for meritorious people. Because Mr. Gu wanted to be buried with his wife, the relevant personnel also specially made a new tombstone.

The tombstone is made of a whole piece of black marble, with a bright five-pointed star on the top.

The photo on the tombstone is of Mr. Gu and his wife when they were young, snuggling together and smiling brightly.

With the crying of Mr. Gu's students, Mr. Gu's urn was slowly put into the cemetery, and the white urn next to it was his wife.

Li Qing pursed his lips tightly. Parting in life is always painful. Looking at the photo of Gu Lao, he murmured: "Gu Lao, rest in peace!"

At this time, Qi Gang couldn't help but tear up and said regretfully: "The backbone of the country is gradually withering!"

Then he patted Li Qing on the shoulder, "Fortunately, a new backbone has stood up."

On the way back, Li Qing saw many tombstones of meritorious service, martyrs, and celebrities, and joked: "I wonder if there is a place for me in Babaoshan?"

Qi Gang listened and looked serious, nodded, "Yes, do you want me to take you to see it?"

Li Qing: "..."
