Nie Zhao and Nie Yao were naturally at the head; they were sons, after all, born to carry the coffin.

Liang Lisheng was behind Nie Zhao, a special arrangement made by Uncle Ming. He knew Nie Zhao best; he was cunning but genuinely weak. When they went down the steps, the weight of the coffin would be transferred to their shoulders.

He was afraid that Nie Zhao would be unable to bear it and would throw his shoulder, but Liang Lisheng, though old, had plenty of strength and knew how to use it.

Despite all his careful planning, Uncle Ming misjudged Liang Lisheng, and Liang Lisheng overestimated himself, which is about to cause a major disaster.

Just as they were descending the steps, the weight of the coffin fell onto their shoulders, and the people supporting the coffin all changed their expressions, because none of them had expected it to be so heavy. Liang Lisheng, who was behind Nie Zhao, bumped his knee into Nie Zhao.

By the way, his knees were weak, so they must have been wrapped in gauze.

Nie Zhao instantly realized that Liang Lisheng had only come once in three days because he had injured his knee.

But he didn't tell Nie Zhao, keeping it a secret, probably because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to carry the coffin and send his elder brother off on his final journey.

But he didn't say anything, which put Nie Zhao in a difficult position. Liang Lisheng himself weighed over 200 pounds, and his legs were weak. He couldn't lift the coffin, let alone keep it up to maintain his balance. With the weight of the coffin, all the force on one side was on Nie Zhao's shoulder, which he couldn't bear. He could feel the entire coffin pressing down on him.

Nie Yao's expression changed as well, because he tried to suppress it, but couldn't, and the coffin lifted off his shoulder.

On both sides were guests who had come to pay their respects, and opposite them were cameras and video recorders filming. In the instant the coffin crashed down, Nie Zhao knew he was going to die. The coffin would slide off the tow truck and crash down on him.

Even if he doesn't die, he'll be crippled. His father will be thrown out. It'll be a public accident, a horrific accident.

He's doomed.

But just as Nie Yao was struggling to hold onto the coffin, Nie Zhao was arching it with all his might, and Liang Lisheng was covered in sweat and his face had turned ashen yellow, two people suddenly emerged from the funeral procession on both sides. One pulled Liang Lisheng, and the other bent down to support his shoulders.

People's physical strength is really different. Some people are truly strong enough to lift mountains and have an overwhelming presence.

It was Chen Ke who pushed the coffin onto the shoulder, and the people pulling the rope behind were dumbfounded. They couldn't hold on, and the whole coffin was about to smash into the big boss. But suddenly someone jumped out halfway, bent down, and then raised his shoulder and swung it.

How exaggerated was it? Nie Zhao felt his entire shoulder lighten and lose strength, but on the other side, even Nie Yao was gritting his teeth.

As Chen Ke straightened his shoulder, the weight of the coffin on one side was shifted to the other.

Uncle Ming's blood pressure rose even more, despite the small pills, his eyelids twitched rapidly, and his head was buzzing.

He gave Yue Zhongqi, who had just escorted Liang Lisheng aside and was still standing on the red carpet, a grateful look.

He was determined to give Nie Rong a grand funeral, thinking he had a brilliant plan, but he almost made a huge mistake.

Yes, it was only a short distance, less than a hundred steps, but the accident happened in an instant. And who could have imagined that the person who would be the most loyal to Nie Rong, his good brother Liang Lisheng, would be the one to suffer the accident?

But strangely enough, it only happened in a few seconds.

Chen Ke, who had been at the scene since yesterday, had been playing with A Yuan and holding him to sleep while keeping watch.

Yue Zhongqi, on the other hand, was spontaneously helping out, tugging in here and doing a little something there, smiling as he helped out with small tasks.

Uncle Ming himself only realized something was wrong the moment Liang Lisheng bumped into Nie Zhao. But at that moment, Yue Zhongqi had already moved the flower basket blocking his way and elbowed Liang Lisheng's arm. He pulled him, and Chen Ke bent down and crawled through. The two of them put the out-of-control giant coffin back on track.

They, especially Yue Zhongqi, should have foreseen the danger before it occurred.

How did he anticipate this? Was it by observing Liang Lisheng's complexion? But Liang Lisheng hadn't shown any signs of discomfort before.

Besides, if he had noticed it, he would have communicated with Uncle Ming privately beforehand.

On an occasion like today, Yue Zhongqi is still a member of his third wife's family, so he certainly doesn't want anything to go wrong and won't keep quiet about it.

That leaves only one possibility: he was the one who discovered it at the time, and he was also the first to discover it.

The coffin had arrived beside the hearse, and Uncle Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He also had to remark that the soldiers on the mainland had really good eyesight!

The hearse led the way, followed by a long line of funeral vehicles. Almost all of the Nie family's vehicles were on the road, from sedans to SUVs to minibuses, medium-sized buses, and large buses, forming a long procession.

Once everyone was on board, the security personnel at the intersection gave a notification via walkie-talkie, and the hearse could set off amidst the sound of firecrackers.

Inside the lead car were Nie Jiajun and Nie Jiayu, who were being held by Uncle Ming, as well as Nie Yao, who looked lost in thought, and several burly bodyguards who were escorting the car and carrying the coffin. Nie Zhao and his wife, along with their son, and Nie Han were in the second car.

Before the bus departed, Nie Zhao had already called Liang Sihan to inquire about Liang Lisheng's situation.

The story goes that he liked staying in mainland China. He was originally in mainland China when he heard about his elder brother's death. He twisted his knee when he got out of bed, but he didn't want others to know, so he asked Liang Sihan to come and pick him up.

Liang Sihan had originally planned to go and take over the Jade Pearl ship, and he even had the key with him, so he had no choice but to go pick up his father.

And so, he delayed the departure of the Jade Pearl, which was now just heading to the dock.

Liang Lisheng insisted on seeing his elder brother off, so he secretly went to the hospital to get a nerve block injection and then came over.

He was a good brother, practically the epitome of loyalty, but he also almost caused Nie Zhao's death.
