After Commander Xiao woke up, he was discharged from the hospital. He still had to go and "arrange his grandson's funeral."
Bai Yajing also went to Xiao Che's burial.
Because of the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign, even the martyrs who sacrificed their lives cannot have grand funerals, let alone burn paper money or perform rituals for their souls. Therefore, the Xiao family simply hung a white cloth, and the family members wore black veils.
However, quite a few people still came, most of whom came spontaneously to mourn the martyrs.
Of course, there were also people with ill intentions mixed in...
The small urn contained Xiao Che's military uniform and those heavy medals.
Even though I know it's fake, the Xiao family grandfather and grandson are ruthless! They don't even care about bad luck, they've already put out those black and white photos!
The Xiao couple stood dejectedly to one side, numbly thanking those who came to see them off.
On the surface, Old Master Xiao appeared sorrowful, as if he was forcing himself not to collapse, but in reality, he was secretly observing the people who had come.
During this time, the grandfather and grandson had already found out who the spy was, but there was more than one person, and there were other people behind the scenes, so they kept their plans to remain silent and decided to turn the tables on him.
The old man was just waiting for the person in the shadows to lose patience and jump out, so that he and his grandson could catch them like turtles in a jar!
After all, today is the best chance to provoke this old man to the point of meeting the King of Hell!
Bai Yajing observed discreetly from the day she arrived and made her deal with Commander Xiao. She and her uncle had already been categorized into factions within the Xiao family, and her abilities had likely been noticed long ago.
Therefore, the Xiao family cannot fall; if it does, she and her uncle will not fare well either.
Dean Gao is a shrewd and experienced man. Last time, Commander Xiao was able to fake fainting so smoothly because he was the one who helped cover for him.
The two have been friends for decades; it's only a matter of time before they fall apart.
He saw Bai Yajing and beckoned her to come and sit down.
We're all in the same boat, so let's stay together. If she stays with him, those people will be wary of the Gao family and won't be able to do anything to her until the Gao family falls.
Those people must know the value of this girl. They will definitely plan to take her under their control. But she is branded with the Xiao family's mark, so they won't feel at ease using her. It's easy to imagine what dirty tricks they will use to coerce her later.
Bai Yajing knew that Dean Gao was protecting her, so she generously went over and sat down to greet Commander Xiao and his family.
This moved Xiao's mother to tears, and Xiao's father was also deeply touched.
Since Xiao Che's accident and the news that Commander Xiao's health was failing, the couple had clearly felt the difference in their lives.
Many people felt that the Xiao family was declining, and most of the previous obsequiousness and flattery had disappeared.
Instead, indifference and alienation prevailed.
Even worse, some idiots couldn't wait to kick someone when they're down and make sarcastic remarks.
Therefore, Dean Gao and Bai Yajing's actions at this moment were undoubtedly like sending charcoal in snowy weather, warming their hearts that had been chilled to the bone.
"Uncle Gao, young comrade, you're so kind!"
Bai Yajing waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly, but then felt it was inappropriate, so she offered a few words of comfort.
"Uncle and Aunt, please take care of yourselves. Commander Xiao would not want to see you sad and upset."
Dean Gao waved his hand magnanimously, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father and I have been friends for so many years!"
"Okay, okay..."
As they were talking, a commotion arose outside. Judging from the footsteps and voices, quite a few people were heading this way.
Bai Yajing, Commander Xiao, and Dean Gao exchanged a glance. Here they are!
