Rebirth: 1977

In the end, Mr. Wu could not be rescued and passed away without leaving a single word.

Boss Wu was terrified. He had never expected that his powerful and domineering father would pass away just because he was choked by a mouthful of phlegm and couldn't breathe.

When the doctors and nurses announced in fear and frustration that Mr. Wu's heart had stopped beating, the second and third sons of the Wu family, who had just received the notification, rushed over.

"What's going on? Hasn't Dad been fine? Why would he just leave like that?"

"Ah, Dad, why did you leave like this?"

"grandfather!"

Wu Pingtao was the one standing closest to the patient. After the doctor announced that the rescue was ineffective, he took a step back and gave up his seat beside the bed.

"grandfather!"

Wu Pingtao knelt down beside the bed with a plop. His eyes were stinging and his face was itchy, with watery substance flowing down.

Although he had predicted this outcome, when it really happened, he found himself very sad, extremely sad.

Head nurse Xi Meijuan is most familiar with Mr. Wu's health and is always prepared for this day to come.

At this moment, she was crying "wuwuwu" while directing several nurses to wipe the old man's body.

The old man’s burial clothes had been prepared long ago, a brand new Zhongshan suit.

At this time, someone also took things out of the cabinet. Without any instructions from the Wu family, they put down the mosquito net and started to change clothes for the old man.

Mr. Wu's three sons were all called one by one by Secretary-General Xiao according to Wu Pingtao's instructions.

Boss Wu was the first to arrive. Xiao Baoguo gave him Wu Pingyan's death notice downstairs and gave him a brief report.

When the next two arrived, the old man had already been declared dead.

All the grandchildren came, crying for their father and grandfather.

At this time, Wu Pingtao heard his two uncles say, "Dad was always fine, how could he just leave like that?" He felt sad for the old man.

Doesn’t anyone know that grandpa’s body is just hanging on by a thread?

How can you have the nerve to say "everything has been fine"?

"Dad, you're gone, what should we do..."

"Dad, Dad, why did you leave?"

Amid the crying, Wu Pingtao wiped the moisture off his face, kowtowed three times to the old man, sighed softly, and stood up.

He stepped aside and wanted to discuss with Xiao Baoguo the next steps of sending out the obituary and notifying the people who needed to be notified. The list had already been drawn up.

"Ping Tao? When did you come back?"

Wu Laoer was the first to raise questions.

"Why is Ping Tao here? Dad is usually very nice. Did you say something to your grandfather that pissed him off?"

Wu Laosan rubbed his dry eyes and asked.

"Ping Tao, did your grandfather tell you anything before?"

Boss Wu also joined in the fun and asked about his son.

Everyone forgot to cry and looked at Wu Pingtao eagerly, some blaming him and some questioning him.

Wu Pingtao glanced around. When he asked Secretary-General Xiao to notify everyone, he originally wanted to let everyone see his grandfather.

These are all Mr. Wu’s immediate family members.

He thought the old man could hold on for a while, but who knew that his own father would really disappoint him.

A howl sent the old man to heaven.

Wu Pingtao's eyes finally fell on his biological father, and he replied in a gloomy tone:

"I arrived at the same time as you guys, and I didn't have time to talk to Grandpa."

"How could it be such a coincidence? Ping Tao, did you really not say anything to make your grandfather angry?"

"That's right. Ping Tao hasn't been back for more than half a year. What a coincidence that you saw him off for the last time?"

At this time, Boss Wu realized that his two younger brothers were blaming and questioning his son.

He immediately defended him: "What are you talking about? Ping Tao is the most filial to his grandfather and would never say anything to disobey his grandfather."

He knelt down beside the old man's bed with a thump, holding the death notice of his youngest son in his hand. He couldn't help but burst into tears with grief.

"Dad... Dad, what should I do? Pingyan is gone, and you're gone again..."

Wu Pingtao's eyelids twitched violently.

Is this the time to talk about this?

No wonder grandpa always put his father and two uncles in the position of director and wouldn’t let them move.

He left the room while there was chaos inside. Xiao Baoguo and all the medical staff and guards stood in the corridor with sad faces.

Instead, Wu Pingtao saw real sadness on these people's faces.

Now that the old man is gone, they are all temporarily unemployed.

Where can I find such a well-paid job in the future?

Xiao Baoguo, with tears on his face, greeted Wu Pingtao and asked in a low voice:

"Master Tao, shall we set up a funeral committee first? Also, where should we set up the mourning hall? We must report Mr. Wu's case to the higher-ups first, what do you think?"

"These matters are left to you. Just do what you need to do without asking anyone."

In this small building, Mr. Wu is the elder of the Wu family, but he is not just the elder of the Wu family.

The old man's mourning hall and funeral are not decided by any descendant of the Wu family.

"Got it. Master Tao, don't worry. Everything has standards, and we have discussed it beforehand."

Xiao Baoguo agreed in a low voice.

In the evening, Ye Tianshui received a call from Wu Pingtao:

"Xiao Shui, my grandpa...he's gone."

This news did not cause any ripples in Ye Tianshui's heart. He had met the old man and knew the news of Wu Pingyan's death, so he would most likely send him away.

"Brother Tao, please accept my condolences and just focus on your work these days. I'm sorry, I will wait until the memorial service to kowtow to the old man.

Your transfer order is already in process. After the old man's death, all the procedures will be basically completed.

Before you leave, let's meet again to discuss some details."

Wu Pingtao hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is definitely going to Meihua County!

Since both my father-in-law and Xiaoshui said there was something fishy about the deaths of Wu Pingyan and Bian Kang, there must be something fishy.

Although the two people deserved to die, how did they die? He would not allow anyone to fool him, he had to figure it out himself!

Especially Wu Pingyan, why would he commit suicide out of fear of punishment?

It is one thing for the brothers to have personal grudges, but as a member of the Wu family, they cannot die in obscurity!

"Dad, Mr. Wu has passed away."

After the whole family finished dinner and the two children were taken away by the caregiver, Ye Tianshui told everyone the news.

"Really gone? That old man."

Hua Guoxing was surprised and sighed.

Ye Jianfeng also sighed:

"That old man is also confused. I wonder if he thought it through before he left?"

No one knows what Mr. Wu was thinking when he left.

"Dad, you're going to go to Mr. Wu's memorial service, right?"

Ye Tianshui asked Ye Jianfeng.

"Of course I have to see him off. He and I always like to go against each other. He has a violent temper. Seeing how old he is, I try not to confront him as much as possible.

I must see him off on his last journey.

His contribution to the country is indelible.”

"I'll try to take time off to see him off. He was once a senior whom I respected. He's also Xiaoshui's grandfather."

After expressing his feelings, Hua Guoxing made a decision.
