Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui's words were full of ulterior motives. Did Mr. Wu ask him to go and call Wu Pingtao back?

Why should he agree?

If he had been on Mr. Wu's side, he would have persuaded Wu Pingtao and forgiven Mr. Wu for having to resort to such unavoidable measures as the patriarch.

Taking the life of his daughter-in-law Li Lihua in exchange for Xiaojie's life was considered a thundering measure.

Demoting Wu Pingyan to a remote corner of the impoverished mountainous area can be considered a punishment for that grandson.

It just so happened that he and Old Man Wu were not in the same camp, and Wu Pingtao was a person that Ye Tianshui valued and had high hopes for, so it was already good enough that he did not add insult to injury.

"Xiao Shui, your words are not enough to save my reputation. The kid is still blaming me.

But after observing him for several years, I know that he only respects you.

To be honest with you, it’s not that I don’t contact him, it’s that he doesn’t want to come back to see me.

Alas, this child has misunderstood me so deeply.

I am begging you, old man, to help me persuade him, okay?"

It seemed that Mr. Wu really felt that his life was coming to an end, so he humbled himself and said such soft words to Ye Tianshui.

But does he think he has kept the tricks he played on Ye Tianshui behind his back in the past few years well?

Or do you hope that Ye Tianshui and the Wu family can put aside their grudges and shake hands in peace?

Or, because of his good relationship with Wu Pingtao, he dragged his grandson to join the Wu family's camp?

"Grandpa Wu, I will definitely pass on your words if I have the chance, but you can't have too high expectations of me.

Goodbye, take care! "

Ye Tianshui bowed to Old Master Wu and said goodbye. He knew what Old Master Wu was up to, so he didn't need to continue to be perfunctory.

"Xiao Xiao, send Xiao Shui off for me."

Mr. Wu instructed Secretary-General Xiao.

Ye Tianshui was still very interested in Mr. Wu's bodyguard Xiao Jin. He had clearly seen him guarding the room just now, but now he did not appear in front of Ye Tianshui.

He didn't see him go out either, so Ye Tianshui guessed that there should be another room similar to a secret room in this room?

Xiao Jin is quite skilled and has fought with Ye Tianshui before. Of course, the other party concealed his identity and attacked him by surprise.

But he was defeated by Ye Tianshui.

Up to now, Ye Tianshui has never seen this person clearly from the front, but he knows that he is Mr. Wu’s loyal dog.

He is the kind of loyal person who is willing to sacrifice his life for his country.

Therefore, Ye Tianshui never thought of inciting him to rebel.

As long as there are no more assassination attempts against him, Ye Tianshui is willing to let him go.

After all, he is a good man, just with different positions and serving different masters.

Secretary Xiao took the order and respectfully sent Ye Tianshui to the stairs. He held his hand tightly and said sincerely:

"Team Leader Ye, Mr. Wu misses Master Tao, please try your best to persuade him to come back and see Mr. Wu.

We are grandparents, so any misunderstanding can be resolved."

Ye Tianshui smiled calmly:

"Got it. I'll pass it on."

Sitting in the car, Ye Tianshui started the car while unfolding a small piece of paper in his hand. There were two simple lines of words on it:

"The doctor said that Mr. Wu would not survive the winter.

I have already sent people to pave the way for Master Yan."

Ye Tianshui stuffed the note into his trouser pocket, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out.

At the window on the third floor, through the gap in the drawn curtains, Xiao Jin's two sharp eyes, like those of a hawk or a dog, appeared. After watching Ye Tianshui's car disappear, he returned to Grandpa Wu's bedside.

At this time, there were only two of them in the room, and Xiao Jin reported in a low voice:

"The young man drove away without looking back."

Old Master Wu leaned against the pillow behind him, closed his eyes, nodded, and his face looked gloomy.

"Do you think he will persuade Master Tao to come back?"

Xiao Jin hesitated for a while:

"It's hard to say. Mr. Tao is very stubborn right now. He won't answer the phone even if you call him in person.

I'm worried that Ye Tianshui won't really try to persuade him."

"Alas, this grandson is indeed excellent, but it's a pity that he is not on the same page with the Wu family!

These two good children were ruined by Li Lihua.

How is Pingyan doing now? Is that kid not causing any trouble?"

A layer of light golden color appeared on Mr. Wu's face, and the "kindness" he showed in front of Ye Tianshui was gone. His voice was hoarse like an old man, and there was a "snoring" sound in his throat from time to time, followed by bursts of wheezing and coughing.

There was a fishy stench coming from the spittoon beside the bed.

The whole person is full of death and hostility.

"Master Yan has a good relationship with the county magistrate named Bian Kang. The other party knows his identity and does not let him take on any hard work.

Fortunately, Bian Kang was a sensible person and he set up the people for Master Yan. Now Master Yan has made remarkable achievements in politics.

Bian Kang will be promoted to county party secretary immediately, and Master Yan is a candidate for county governor, so he can pass without controversy."

Xiao Jin reported in detail.

"Alas, that kid is too playful. If he had half the effort of Ping Tao, he would have been promoted directly to the position of deputy mayor.

Even if he is the county magistrate, I am still worried that he may make a mistake. That kid is not suitable for the job.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the chance to plan for him. It all depends on his own luck."

Mr. Wu let out a long sigh.

"Wu, you will live a long life. Master Yan is still young and his future will not be worse than Master Tao's."

Xiao Jin said things that were not what he meant, but the expression on his face was genuine.

After another bout of violent coughing and wheezing, Mr. Wu rinsed his mouth and drank the cough syrup prepared by the doctor.

He calmed down and closed his eyes again.

Xiao Jin stood motionless two steps away, quietly standing there, with a rare sadness on his face.

Everyone around the old man is aware of his physical condition. It is very painful for him to endure the day after day like this.

Xiao Baoguo was in his office next to the reception room.

He had to handle a lot of official business for Mr. Wu, and without Mr. Wu's summons, he didn't need close care.

After seeing Ye Tianshui off, he finally put his mind at ease. Xiao Baoguo and Xiao Jin were at different levels. Xiao Jin was a die-hard fan who didn't talk about politics.

However, he has his own likes and dislikes and choices. Among the younger generations of the Wu family, he looks down on the playboy Wu Pingyan and admires Master Tao more.

It can be said that Wu Pingtao grew up under his care.

Even when it came to Ye Tianshui, who was on good terms with Master Tao, Xiao Baoguo looked at him with admiration.

However, as long as Mr. Wu still has a breath left, the people he is supposed to serve loyally will not change.

Even if the monkeys scatter when the tree falls in the future, he still has to be careful in his choice, because the old man's disciples and former officials are spread all over the place.

It is not easy to change camp.

The ideal outcome is that Mr. Tao can return to the Wu family, and then no one can blame him for choosing Wu Pingtao.

Well, let's take it one step at a time, hoping that Master Tao will stand in a high position one day, so that his current fear and anxiety will be worthwhile.

Inside the room, Mr. Wu suddenly opened his eyes and beckoned Xiao Jin to his side:

"Xiao Jin, when my time comes, you will go to Master Yan and protect him.

If he says or does anything inappropriate, please teach him a lesson on my behalf.

When he comes back this time, I will talk to him in person. Also, I will leave you a handwritten letter. If he disobeys, show it to him to prove that it is my intention.

I've left you a house in Beijing, but your administrative level can't be too high, so you can only be below Ping Yan.

When Pingyan is promoted step by step in the future, he will definitely give you a promotion."
