Chapter 372: Farewell

This exquisite performance was rated as the greatest performance of the century by the global media.

When Coubertin saw Luo Jiu, he said excitedly: "I don't know what kind of ignition ceremony people will come up with in the future, but this one really can't be replicated."

Luo Jiu nodded proudly, "They are two miraculous beings, so they can create a greater miracle together."

Luo Jiu smiled and looked at Coubertin, thinking: It's a miracle that the old man can live until now. I guess the supplements she gave him played a big role. Otherwise, according to the original timeline, it should have been three years.

We held this Olympic Games in a grand manner, with more than 180 countries participating, including all the countries on the planet that can be contacted.

After Fubao and Feng Qi had been on the job for a few days, the system prompted that they had completed the KPI.

Feng Qi said proudly: "What's so difficult about defeating a hundred countries? If the system wants to make things difficult for us, it should set the goal of defeating two hundred countries."

Zhong Jialing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said: "Don't be such a pessimist. Where can I find two hundred countries for you?"

Luo Jiu smiled and shook his head. Fu Bao asked hurriedly, "Second Mother, are we going back to the end of the world?"

Luo Jiu thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter whether I go back or not. I saw Qiao Zhiyu in the space a few days ago. She said that everything is fine over there. With the supplies we brought over, they have basically achieved normal life. But there are some zombies nearby, so she asked for some building materials to strengthen the defense.

At present, we are not needed in the apocalypse, and we can go back later or not.

Unless...something unexpected happens."

Fubao smiled and said, "What kind of accident could happen? I think everything is under our control."

This was said just over two months ago. Shortly after the Olympic Games ended, my country's sports industry flourished and easily took the top spot in the medal table. The whole country was in a festive atmosphere.

At this time, an insignificant news came from overseas, but this news was bad news for Luo Jiu and others.

At the Wucheng World Championships, a competitor took drugs and died of heart failure during the competition.

The IOC immediately took it seriously and strictly investigated the use of drugs and stimulants by athletes. It immediately set up a doping department and required all participating athletes to participate in blood tests within five years.

When the news reached China, Fubao was in a dilemma. Although she did not take any drugs or stimulants, she could not draw blood. With her physical condition, she did not know how to draw blood.

But I cannot refuse this examination. As a world-renowned athlete, I must set an example. What should I do?

Luo Jiu thought for a moment, made up his mind and said: "Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one."

Fubao: "The world is so big, and there is no place for me to hide. Where should I go?"

Luo Jiu smiled and said, "It doesn't exist in this world, but it exists in another world. Let's go back to the end of the world."

It was decided that everyone around them was reluctant to let them go, but since they were leaving, everyone would send them off in their own way.

Comrade Quansheng immediately arranged for people to secretly stockpile a large amount of supplies and replenish them in their space.

Liuzi also went around making arrangements, preparing everything he could think of and putting them in the space in case of emergency.

Jiang An and Zhong Cunzhi were leaving, so they had to tell Sui Chunfang the inside story. From now on, the pharmaceutical factory would have to be managed by her alone. They let her know the reasons so that she wouldn't be sad.

But how can I not be sad? After all, I still can't let go.

Sui Chunfang, Zhu Jiumei, and Lu Qingyun didn't want them to leave, but they had no choice but to prepare things as best they could, muttering from time to time, "It would be great if you guys didn't leave."

In a few days, the things in the space piled up into continuous mountains.

The space at this time has been upgraded many times and is close to infinity, but it is still mostly filled with supplies prepared by everyone.

I don’t know what’s inside many of the things, but there are already several stacks of notebooks just for recording the supplies.

They have contributed a lot to this world, but when they leave, they give back even more.

Looking at the boxes filled with supplies, I can feel everyone's thoughtfulness, but, finally, it's time to say goodbye.

Liuzi has been hanging around them these past few days, sometimes his eyes turn red while he's talking. Now he can't help but ask, "Aunt, when are you leaving?"

Luo Jiu glanced at him and said, "The day after tomorrow morning, Nanyuan Airport."

We promised the doping agency that we would send Fubao and Fengqi to the testing agency. The testing agency was in Switzerland, and Fengqi happened to have a business event in Switzerland. Switzerland is also a tourist country, so it was reasonable for the whole family to go there together.

Luo Jiu thought, since he was leaving, he couldn't just disappear for no apparent reason. It would be better to create an accident and disappear from this world in a reasonable way.

They would go to Switzerland under the pretext of a family vacation, and would take their grandmother, Jiang An, Zhong Cunzhi, and the other four, as well as Fubao, and board the pharmaceutical factory's private plane.

There will be media records during takeoff, which can also be regarded as an explanation to the world.

Liuzi didn't expect the time to be so close. He choked up for a moment, pursed his lips and his eyes turned red again.

Luo Jiu couldn't help but smile, "What are you doing? Last time we met, you were still a half-grown child, crying like a baby. This time, you're the father of a child, do you still want to drop some gold beans?"

Liuzi smiled and rubbed his eyes. "No, I just feel...uncomfortable. The two most important elders in my heart are my father and you. Now that you are gone, I can't be a child even if I want to."

Luo Jiu looked at the mist in his eyes and felt a sore nose. She patted Liu Zi's shoulder and forced a smile, "I am leaving in a different way than your father is leaving. Don't curse me."

Liuzi chuckled, but tears came out.

Luo Jiu couldn't help but sigh. If there was anything that made her reluctant to leave every time, it was definitely not the power, status, villas, luxury cars and other material things. What made her reluctant to leave the most was always the people and friendship.

In such a system setting, separation between life and death is like separation between life and death.

Luo Jiu touched Liuzi's head, held him in his arms and patted him.

"Don't blame me for leaving you again and again. Just think of me and your father as blessing you from heaven. Look, didn't I rescue you this time?"

Liuzi nodded while crying, and Luo Jiu spoke frankly, "In fact, your father dotes on you. That's why you always act recklessly and follow your own temper. Your heart is right, but sometimes you are too naive, and sometimes too stubborn. Your personality is not suitable for being a politician.

I have talked to President Quan, you can be an idle person in the future. You can teach in school and play football. If you don't want to teach anymore, it's also good to manage football.

No one will put a burden on your shoulders that you cannot bear. You have a family business, so you can live the rest of your life as a rich and idle person.

I have also told the others that if you encounter problems that you cannot solve, you can go to Zhu Jiumei or Lu Qingyun, they will try their best to help you. Similarly, if they have problems, you should support them as you support me.

Of course, you can't break the law knowingly, and you can't do anything that crosses the line, understand?"

Liu Zi cried so hard that he looked embarrassed. He choked and said, "I understand."

Luo Jiu pinched his neck, "Okay, grandma said she made you a set of cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and will send them to you later. You're crying like this, and if she sees you, she'll be sad and cry, so don't let the old lady cry."

Liuzi sniffed and quickly held it back.

Early in the morning on the day of departure, Liuzi hurried over and said, "I put some more things into the space. Also, let me see if you have any luggage. I will help you with it."

Feng Qi smiled and said, "What luggage is so heavy that you need to carry it? I and Fubao are here."

Liuzi looked at Fubao, then at Luo Jiu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Luo Jiu smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did you remember something and forgot to say it?"

Liu Zi shook his head and said, "I...I won't go to the airport. I'm not good at seeing you guys."

Luo Jiu nodded and said, "That's fine. Even if we travel thousands of miles apart, we will have to say goodbye. As long as you know that we are all doing well, it doesn't matter whether we meet or not."

Liuzi said "hmm" and called Fubao aside.

He took out a white jade pendant from his arms, the one he had given to Fubao before.

"You gave it to me when we met last time, and I've kept it ever since. I'll give it to you this time. Although I know the chance of seeing you again is slim, if we can meet again, you should give it back to me."

Fubao took the pendant and teased with tears in his eyes: "Seeing you again, I have to save you again, it's troublesome."

Liuzi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that? Friends are like this. The main thing is that you didn't even give me a chance to save you.

But next time when I am old, don’t save me. I will look ugly when I am old, and I am afraid you will laugh at me.”

"No." Fubao replied with a smile.

Liuzi added: "But if you travel back to when I was a child, you must go find me. I had a hard time as a child, and I was hoping someone would come and save me."

Fubao was choking up and couldn't speak. He just nodded and smiled at the end. "When you were a child, even if you couldn't speak yet, I would go find you. At most, I would raise you as a child, take you away and buy you candies."

When the two thought of that scene, they couldn't help but laugh, but the more they laughed, the more their noses felt sore.

Cheng Yaoyao looked at her watch and couldn't help but remind the two of them, "It's time to go."

"Okay." Liuzi raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, snatched the luggage from Fubao's hand and helped put it in the car.

Zhu Jiumei and Lu Qingyun were waiting at the door and got into the same car with Luo Jiu.

Both of them had swollen eyes, probably because they shed many tears in secret. But they pretended to be fine and just kept looking at Luo Jiu, as if they had a thousand words to say.

Zhu Jiumei asked: "Is there anything else we need to do?"

Luo Jiu took a deep breath and sighed, “Yes, we need you to stay strong, sober, and wise to protect this country.

The territory can only be expanded, not reduced. The people's living standards can only be raised, not lowered.

We must maintain the current status of women in society, and not allow any discrimination or injustice to occur, and we must implement the word equality to the end.”

Zhu Jiumei and Lu Qingyun looked at her and said with certainty, "We will definitely do it."

When getting off the car, Luo Jiu grabbed Lu Qingyun and put the pen he usually used to mark documents into her pocket.

She whispered, "President Quan told me that he would treat you as he had treated me. You are knowledgeable and capable, and you have come a long way from the war. You have gone through countless trials and tribulations. We both have high hopes for you, and we hope you will not let us down. Use the power in your hands well and serve the people."

Lu Qingyun stared into her eyes and answered firmly: "I will not refuse even if it means my body is torn to pieces or I die."

Luo Jiu smiled and patted her shoulder, took the briefcase, and strode into the airport.

There were many media waiting at the airport, but in the eyes of the public, this was just an ordinary outing.

Everyone was asking about the travel plans to Switzerland and what to do next after returning from the doping control trip.

Fubao and Fengqi both knew they would not be coming back, but they still smiled and answered the media: "What happens next will be kept secret for the time being. As for this trip, there is no fixed plan. We are happy as a family and together no matter what."

Fu Bao smiled and waved, "I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much, but don't forget me. Think about me occasionally. Goodbye!"

Reporters used their cameras and video cameras to record videos and photos of this scene. Eight people boarded the plane together.

Zhong Jialing personally piloted the plane, and after a period of taxiing, it officially took off.

She put the plane into cruise mode and went inside to prepare.

Everyone had already changed their clothes and were ready for the upcoming journey.

The time bomb has been prepared and will be activated before leaving. It will explode and crash when the plane reaches an uninhabited mountain area.

Jiang An and Zhong Cunzhi took some gift boxes and held them in their hands. Zhong Jialing asked hurriedly, "What are you doing with these?"

Zhong Cunzhi said: "This is the first time we meet your friends from the end of the world, so shouldn't we be polite? Besides, we've been out for a while, so we can bring some souvenirs for everyone to show that we're thinking of them. That would be great."

When grandma heard this, she also took out two bags and said, "These are all the snacks I bought, including pastries and cooked food from Lao Fengtian's store. I'll carry some too. When we meet Xiao Qiao and the others, it will seem like we prepared something specially, right?"

Luo Jiu smiled helplessly and thought: I don’t know who I will meet first when I go back.

Cheng Yaoyao checked the time and said, "We are almost entering the mountainous area. Get ready. If we are late, the reporters may not be able to take pictures."

So everyone gathered together, Luo Jiu pressed the bomb with a one-minute timer, put it aside, and then pressed the upgrade and travel button on the space holographic interface.

With a flash of white light, everyone in the cabin disappeared.

People watching from a distance suddenly noticed that the plane shook, but they did not suspect anything. They just took empty shots as usual until there was a loud bang. Everyone watched the plane explode and fall, and everyone was stunned.

Rescue, search, public announcement and memorial service, everything is proceeding according to normal procedures.

When the news of the "death" was made public, the whole world was shocked.

Countless people were crying, countless people were grieving, and countless people were immersed in this sudden event and could not believe it.

When Xit saw the news on TV, he thought it was a rumor and called to inquire personally. It was not until Lu Qingyun choked up and told him that everything was true that he hung up the phone in silence.

He sat blankly in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, unable to accept it all.

After a long time, the secretary pushed the door open and came in. He murmured, "The snow in Vienna has stopped."

However, the river of destiny never stops rushing forward.

Luo Jiu and others had no time to worry about the sadness of parting, because new challenges were already before them.
