Chapter 1069: The funeral

"Alright," he said. In response to Yuan Zhou's words, Ling Hong nodded his head quietly again.

"This is really strange. What's wrong with this person?" Wu Hai first looked at Ling Hong with a magical expression.

Only after a while did he realize that Yuan Zhou had just said that he had a rest day today.

"Are you serious, compass? Why do you need to rest? wait, I won't agree to it. " Wu Hai immediately joked. No joke was more important than his meal.

Even if the rich man looked too sad, he would just treat him to an all-fish banquet to nourish his body.

No matter what, he couldn't rest.

Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou in shock and revealed a puzzled look.

However, before Yuan Zhou could explain, or before Wu Hai could make more noise, Yin ya and Jiang Changxi came together.

The two of them really meant what they said.

It had only been eight minutes since Yuan Zhou finished the phone call and the two of them arrived at Yuan Zhou's restaurant.

Yin ya was dressed in a beige suit and her hair was tied into a ponytail. She was carrying a printed bag in her hand and wearing a pair of simple black middle-heel shoes. Her thin brows were knitted and she was looking at Yuan Zhou worriedly with her watery eyes.

As for Jiang Changxi, she was dressed in a black female suit, a pair of black high-heeled shoes, and a classic black leather bag.

However, her usually smiling eyes were now particularly nervous. She first looked at Yuan Zhou's expression and then at Ling Hong, who was leaning against the wall with his back hunched, and then felt a little relieved.

"Compass, how could you ..." Wu Hai didn't even turn his head when he heard the sound of the footsteps and directly opened his mouth. However, before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Changxi.

"You're not allowed to speak. " Jiang Changxi walked to the middle of the three people in a few steps, turned her head and said to Wu Hai with a strong and serious manner.

Wu Hai instantly knitted his brows. When he was about to refute, he suddenly stroked his small mustaches and became quiet. Perhaps he thought of Wu Lin, or the expressions on Jiang Changxi and Yin ya's faces were too bad.

"You haven't said anything, have you?" Seeing Wu Hai quieten down, Jiang Changxi turned around and asked Ling Hong.

"Yes." Ling Hong answered with a light "hmm" and didn't move.

Jiang Changxi nodded her head and didn't say anything for a while. However, Yin ya at the side spoke.

"Yuan Zhou, I'm here." Yin ya said with a gentle tone.

"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still nodded his head with a mild expression.

"Since everyone's here, I'll do the talking." Jiang Changxi said after the two finished their greetings.

"Ling Hong can't say it out loud. But it happened three days ago." Jiang Changxi's tone was serious and not frivolous at all.

"Go ahead," Yuan Zhou said calmly.

"There was a piece of social news three days ago. An old man was stabbed while trying to stop a thief. After he was sent to the hospital, he died after failing to save him." Jiang Changxi took a deep breath and then said word by word.

Yuan Zhou's heart thumped and he looked at Jiang Changxi and Ling Hong with a serious expression.

On hearing Jiang Changxi's words, Ling Hong lowered his head and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. As for Wu Hai, his hand stopped on his small mustache and didn't move.

Yin ya looked at Yuan Zhou himself with a worried expression.

"It's Grandpa Jia, right?" Yuan Zhou said in a low and calm tone.

"Yes, it's Grandpa Jia." Yin ya nodded her head.

Although Grandpa Jia had retired from the Army for a long time, he would definitely step in to stop this kind of thing. No matter how one looked at it, he was worthy of being a former soldier.

He just didn't expect the thieves to be so rampant now.

"Grandpa Jia doesn't have any relatives. Ling Hong's grandfather took over Grandpa Jia's funeral Affairs after he found out about it. That's why Ling Hong didn't come to the clinic these three days." Jiang Changxi said.

"What about the thief?" Wu Hai asked.

"We were caught yesterday. We're waiting for the trial of the law." Ling Hong gnashed his teeth and said.

"We'll head over immediately. " Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and then said.

"I drove here. Let's go in my car." Ling Hong said.

"Yes." The few of them nodded and walked out of the alley.

Both Yuan Zhou and Wu Hai were dressed in sportswear and walked out of the side street with the others just like that. It was rare for Yuan Zhou to walk in the side street so openly after taking leave.

Actually, it was still early at this time. The restaurant was only opened by some steamed buns and mantou stores. During the period, someone greeted Yuan Zhou, but he just nodded his head and said nothing.

The five of them walked to the intersection in silence. There was a black SUV parked there with a ticket already stuck on it. It must have been posted by the meticulous and merciless traffic police.

The traffic police were still there, Ling Hong didn't pull out the key after he got off the car, and even the door of the driver's seat wasn't closed.

"I'm sorry, we have something urgent to attend to right now. It's really troublesome. " Yuan Zhou took a step forward and said to the frowning traffic policeman.

"You can't just ignore it. Don't do it again. Remember to pay the fine." The traffic police officer frowned at them and left after saying that.

"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou said softly.

The traffic police officer who heard this waved his hand and left.

"I'll drive. " Yin ya looked at Ling Hong and then said.

"Alright, here you go." Ling Hong wanted to take out the key subconsciously, but he found nothing in his pocket.

"The key is still inserted. Yin ya, slow down." Yuan Zhou pointed at the keys on the steering wheel and said.

"I'll be careful. " Yin ya nodded her head earnestly.

"The three of us will sit in the back seat. Jiang Changxi, you sit in the front passenger seat." While saying that, Yuan Zhou opened the back door to let Wu Hai enter first.

It was rare for Wu Hai to be so quiet. He entered the restaurant and sat down quietly. Then, Yuan Zhou sat in the middle and pulled Ling Hong to get in the car.

After they were seated, Yin ya started the car and started it slowly.

That's right. Yin ya had already known about Grandpa Jia's matter on her way here, because she met Jiang Changxi who was hurrying over.

However, Jiang Changxi knew about it one day earlier than them.

On the road, except for the sound of Jiang Changxi leading the way, it was unusually quiet in the car. No one spoke.

When they arrived at the vicinity of the horse-herding mountain, the greenness around the car became more evident and there were even chirps of birds. At this time, Yin ya silently rolled down the window.

"I still owe Grandpa Jia A breakfast." Yuan Zhou suddenly said.

"I still owe Grandpa Jia A dinner and a drink." Ling Hong was startled and then said in a low tone.

Wu Hai didn't communicate with the others and just muttered to himself,""All thieves should be shot to death, shot to death, shot to death."

"It's alright. Grandpa Jia and grandfather Ling are here. " Yuan Zhou thought of the boxer who only had the nurse to deliver his belongings.

Whether it was the food or the wine that they owed, they could never return it. After a few words, the car fell silent again, but at the same time, they arrived at the place. It was a large and quiet courtyard, with black and white flowers outside the door.

Yin ya stopped the car and then they got off the car and walked straight to the villa.

After passing through the courtyard, they arrived at the hall. Grandpa Jia's coffin was parked in the middle of the hall. Grandpa Jia's portrait was 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 the war. If you have to say it, he looks much better than me when I was young." Just as the few of them were in a daze, grandfather Ling's hoarse voice rang out.

"I just didn't expect this old man to have no other photos other than this one. Great, he's more handsome than me now." Grandfather Ling scolded as he spoke, his walking stick making a dissatisfied sound as it hit the ground.

"Yes." The few of them nodded at the same time and did not answer.

"I didn't call anyone else, just these few. Class monitor Jia, I think you would like to see them."

"Especially this little boss Yuan. Didn't you say that you want to eat his cooking until you die?" Grandfather Ling said.
