He made the arrangements methodically: "Tonight we will be dressed and dressed for the funeral, so you will be in charge of keeping watch. Tomorrow we will arrive in Jiayu, so he will be in charge of keeping watch. The day after tomorrow is the day of the funeral procession, so you should all get some rest and come together to greet the guests."
He immediately added, "Let's go get some late-night snacks and change our clothes. We'll be setting off for the funeral in 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the reporters. Have a good cry. If you really can't, wear sunglasses. I've prepared some for you. Wear them, otherwise they won't look good in the photos."
Nie Yao did not choose to have a late-night snack. At this time, the funeral team was helping his father dress and prepare his body for burial. Chen Rou and A Yuan were guarding outside the ward. Chen Rou was kneeling, while little A Yuan was standing on tiptoe, looking into the room.
Nie Yao knelt down beside Chen Rou, first saying sorry, then asking, "How's A-Zhao? He must be working really hard lately."
Nie Zhao has really worked hard. For more than a month, he has been coming to visit his father every day, waiting for him to burp.
As a result, within a month, Nie Rong became more and more energetic. Nie Zhao had given up hope, but then he suddenly burped.
Chen Rou nodded: "He needs to rest."
Then, noticing the bruises on Nie Rong's wrist, which he guessed were from the Russian guy's scratch, he said, "Sorry, the matter is rather urgent."
Nie Yao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, A-Zhao. I read in the newspaper that he stayed by his bedside every night. He is so pure and filial."
Hong Kong paparazzi, as long as they receive a bribe, will talk a lot of nonsense.
Nie Zhao only stayed with them for one night, but when they wrote it down, it was as if he had personally tasted the medicine and worked day and night.
Chen Rou could actually understand Nie Yao's feelings of not liking to come to Hong Kong and disdaining to associate with Nie Zhao.
He spent the first thirty years of his life in an ivory tower. His business ventures were paved by Nie Rong, and he played house.
After Nie Zhao shattered his ivory tower, he was fortunate enough to enter another ivory tower.
The military newspaper office is a place free from the corruption of power and money, relying solely on the pen.
Nie Yao was the best writer there, with the most insightful views. Leaders from various places would call him from time to time to praise him as the great reporter. He had little material desires, was not so greedy for money, and loved fame, so he maintained his aloofness.
Nie Zhao knew better than anyone else what his attitude and feelings were towards his father.
When he saw Nie Zhao featured in the newspaper, with the entire page filled with marketing about the deep bond between father and son, he felt disgusted and didn't bother to come.
But this time he really didn't expect it; if he had, he would have come to see him.
Uncle Ming wouldn't listen to his explanation, so he just wanted to talk to Chen Rou, which could also be considered as telling his deceased father from afar.
But just then, A Yuan reminded Nie Yao, "Uncle, they're calling you, they're calling you."
The old man is dressed and ready to go in.
Nie Yao then got up and went inside, not recognizing the person at first.
Because his father was wearing a black and purple Chinese-style long robe with swastika patterns and a mandarin jacket, as well as a round hat with a jade inlay on the forehead and black boots, Nie Yao had a feeling that something was wrong.
In his memory, Han Yuzhu was buried wearing a Western-style dress, an oversized Western-style hat, and high heels studded with diamonds. Since they were husband and wife, their clothing should have been uniform if they were to be buried together. But why was one Chinese and the other Western, with no uniformity?
Moreover, Nie Yao soon discovered another problem. Logically speaking, his father's grave and Han Yuzhu's grave were one, a joint burial grave, and only Nie Rong needed to be buried there. But why did he hear the Taoist priest talking about new graves, old graves, and the ritual of passing through the ancestral grave? So, without his knowledge, Nie Zhao built a new grave for his father.
Nie Rong's own parents were buried in Kowloon, and their graves were in his family's ancestral cemetery.
If he says he wants to go to the ancestral graves, does that mean Nie Zhao is planning to bury his father in Kowloon?
Nie Yao glanced at his father, who was dazed and confused, and continued to kneel. A little while later, Secretary An came over with a black canvas box, knelt down beside him, and pushed the box away.
Seeing that it was a very large box, Nie Yao was even more confused and asked, "What is this?"
He then asked, "Why are you giving me this?"
There was one thing Nie Zhao had planned long ago: to confront Nie Yao and reveal the truth on the day his father died.
Today was the day, and although he was devastated and exhausted, he did not forget what he had to do.
Secretary An pushed the bag over and, amidst the commotion, whispered, "Back then in the basement in Causeway Bay, the boss went a bit too far. You might not understand, but at the time, the boss didn't know there were Military Intelligence Bureau people in Hong Kong. Also, at that time, Yu Zhengrong, the Chief Inspector, and Lei Shijun, the Chief Sergeant of the Central Police Station, were both determined to kill the boss. If he didn't do that, he would die."
Nie Yao was locked in the basement for a full three months.
During those three months, Nie Zhao even went out to work on the third day after his brain surgery.
Once a brain infection occurs, his brain tissue will protrude from the site of the craniotomy, like tofu pudding.
But he still went, because if he didn't, Yu Zhengrong would lead a group to storm into the hospital and find out the whole story.
Nie Yao nodded, still a little impatient: "Alright, I know, I don't want to hear it anymore."
Secretary An patted the box again: "Mrs. Mei only stayed for a month, and then she went to a mental hospital because she was indeed mentally unstable. The surveillance footage from every day after that is here. Her cause of death and her ashes are also here."
Mei Lu was not killed intentionally by Nie Zhao, nor did he intend to kill that woman.
If possible, he would even prefer her to stay in a mental hospital for many years, suffering incessantly.
He could afford it, and he also needed that woman to experience the pain of being in hell.
