Chapter 79 Xie Yu ran downstairs...
Xie Yu ran downstairs, overwhelmed by immense unease, as if she were in a nightmare. She couldn't believe it: "Grandma? Where's Grandma? Why is Grandma vomiting blood?"
Wang Ma was crying so hard she was about to faint.
Shen Lang drove, and Wang Ma got in first, followed by Xie Xun and Xie Yu. Jiang Can sat in the passenger seat.
Xi Ling then drove another car.
Wang Ma kept urging Shen Lang to hurry up, even faster.
The car was filled with her sobs. Xie Xun's hands trembled with emotion. Cry, cry, this is just the beginning.
The military hospital was very close, and Shen Lang drove fast, arriving in just five minutes.
Grandma Xie had already been taken to the emergency room, while Grandpa Xie and Xie Xuan stood anxiously at the entrance.
Wang Ma covered her mouth, afraid to cry anymore, lest she disturb the doctor inside and affect the old lady's treatment. She paced back and forth outside, so anxious that she kept hitting her head, tears and snot streaming down her face.
After an unknown amount of time, the head nurse rushed out, and Xie Xuan quickly asked, "Where's my mom? How is she?"
The head nurse cried out urgently, "The patient is bleeding heavily, don't block the way!" She fetched type B blood from the blood bank and ran back into the operating room.
This time, more than forty minutes later, the light outside the operating room went out, and the attending physician came out of the ward, bowed to Mr. Xie, and said: "I'm sorry, the old lady was not in good health and developed multiple complications. She could not be saved. Please accept my condolences."
Old Master Xie couldn't take it; if Shen Lang hadn't been supporting him, he would have fallen.
Xie Yu burst into tears: "No, my grandma is fine, my grandma is healthy, you can't lie to us." She grabbed the doctor: "You're lying to us, you're lying to us."
Wang Ma rushed in: "My sister, how could you be so heartless? You can't abandon me!"
The operating room reeked of blood. Old Mrs. Xie was covered with a white sheet, which was also soaked with blood. Wang Ma rushed over, crying, "Sister, how could you be so heartless? How could you bear to leave me like this!"
Grandpa Xie was helped inside, each step unusually heavy. He knelt before the bed and said, "A-Shu."
Xie Xuan and Xie Shuo also knelt down in front of the hospital bed, and everyone else also knelt down in front of the bed.
All that could be heard were heartbroken cries of grief.
After an unknown amount of time, Old Master Xie chased everyone out.
As dawn broke, the Xie family began preparing for the old lady's funeral.
Lu Li and Xi Ling brought Xie's favorite clothes and jewelry to the ward to help her change.
Finally, Xie Xuan carried Old Madam Xie out and took her to the crematorium for cremation.
Grandpa Xie requested cremation.
The Xie family has always followed the country's lead. When the country promotes cremation, members of the Xie family are cremated after they pass away.
Xie Yu cried out, "No, no! I don't want Grandma to be cremated!"
Xie Xun rushed forward, crying, "How can Grandma be cremated? Grandma loved beauty so much, she should leave in beauty."
Xie Shuo rushed to the car faster, got in, and blocked Xie Xun and the others outside.
The car drove off.
When Shen Lang and his group arrived at the crematorium, the boiler was already lit. Once it was finished burning, all that would be left was a handful of ashes.
Xie Yu was crying her eyes out, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her voice was hoarse. She was kneeling outside the crematorium, sobbing like she had lost her soul. Jiang Can felt heartbroken. This silly child, everyone else was acting, but she was the only one who was really heartbroken.
The Xie family's acting skills are truly superb, especially Wang Ma. If she were to act in a movie, she would definitely win a Best Actress award.
The Xie family's long-time friends and relatives all came to the crematorium to bid farewell to the old lady.
There was crying everywhere; it was simply unbelievable that Old Mrs. Xie had passed away.
The old lady's nephew grabbed Xie Xuan's clothes, shouting, "Who told you to be cremated!"
Although cremation is now being promoted, many people still choose burial. It was unexpected that the Xie family would cremate the old lady.
Xie Xuan knelt on the ground, grief-stricken and in pain, completely ignoring the other person.
The other person also knelt on the ground.
The person has already been sent in, what's the point of saying all this?
After a long while, a funeral home staff member came out carrying an exquisite box.
Grandpa Xie held the box and said, "Ashu, I'll take you home."
Wang Ma said, "Sister, walk slowly on the road, wait for me." She then went to bang her head against the wall, but Jiang Can stopped her.
Lu Li and Xi Ling pulled her back, while Xie Shuo cried uncontrollably, "Wang Ma, you can't do this. You have to watch over us for Mom."
Xie Xun was somewhat disappointed; why didn't this old woman die with him?
Grandpa Xie brought Grandma Xie's urn home, and the festive decorations in the house seemed particularly ironic, especially the red carpet.
Xie Xun stepped onto the red carpet, a cold smile playing on his lips. "These will all be replaced with white soon, how wonderful!"
After Mrs. Xie passed away, the Xie family hung white mourning clothes and prepared for her funeral.
The descendants all wore mourning clothes and stayed before the coffin, but Xie Yun was the only one missing.
Grandpa Xie changed into a white shirt, and he looked much older. Standing there, he appeared exceptionally weathered: "The interests of the country are greater than the interests of the family. There's no need for Xie Yun to come back."
Lu Li disagreed: "We must tell A-Yun. If he finds out, he won't want to come back. That's his choice, and we can't keep it from him." She was already sobbing as she said this: "A-Yun was raised by his mother, how can we not tell him?"
Xi Ling and Lu Li stood on the same side: "We can keep other things from A Yun, but we can't keep this one a secret."
Xie Shuo also advised, "Dad, you need to get A-Yun to call, otherwise A-Yun will never get over this in her life."
Xie Xuan: "Dad, I'll listen to you."
Lu Li roared in anger: "I disagree!"
Xie Xuan: "Xie Yun is a soldier!"
Xie Xun was so afraid that his grandmother would pass away that he didn't even inform Xie Yun. He cried and said, "Grandpa, even if you don't let my eldest brother come back, you should at least tell him. That's not just anyone, that's Grandma."
Xie Yu asked in a hoarse voice, "How heartbroken would my brother be if he didn't know?"
Lu Li was determined; she was determined to inform Xie Yun.
Grandpa Xie sighed: "Go ahead and fight."
Xie Xun was particularly afraid that his grandfather would go to the military region to make a phone call. Perhaps the old lady's death had completely devastated him, and he had overlooked it and used the home phone instead.
They eventually got in touch with Xie Yun.
Grandpa Xie handed the phone to Lu Li.
Lu Li: "A-Yun, your grandmother has passed away." After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "Please come back."
After a long while, Xie Yun hung up the phone.
Lu Li covered her face and wept bitterly: "A-Yun, don't go back. That unfilial descendant, his grandmother has passed away, and he is so heartless. Does he even remember that his surname is Xie?"
Xie Xuan: "Ali, Xie Yun is a soldier."
Xie Xun wasn't too disappointed; as he had expected, Xie Yun indeed wasn't coming back.
Just how important is the project he's researching? Has he really developed a stealth bomber?
That's why he didn't even come back when his grandmother passed away.
This research project must be eliminated, and Xie Yun must be eliminated.
He's amazing.
However, this phone call was enough to locate Xie Yun.
He knelt on the ground, his head hitting the ground, the smile on his lips growing wider and wider. Cry, cry, this is just the beginning.
Next up is Xie Yun.
He was chuckling to himself, unaware that everyone's gazes were subtly sweeping over him.
Jiang Can hoped Xie Xun would quickly stir up trouble, preferably making it as big as possible, otherwise everyone would find it unbearable.
The Xie family knew the truth, and a very small number of people knew it too; most people didn't. When the old lady's best friend of decades heard the news, she cried so hard she couldn't stand up and fainted. She was quickly taken to a guest room to rest.
Xie Yu also cried uncontrollably, her tears almost dried up. She was truly heartbroken, more heartbroken than she had ever been before. Everyone felt extremely sorry for her seeing her like this. Xi Ling hugged her, but ultimately held back her own tears.
Keeping vigil is exhausting; you have to cry, kneel, and kowtow.
It can't be fake yet.
When acting, you have to get completely immersed in the role.
Jiang Can is alright. She's just a granddaughter-in-law she's recently recognized, so she's bound to have feelings for her, but she's not so heartbroken that she's practically dead.
The others would have to act as if they were half-dead.
Wang Ma also cried until she fainted and was taken back to her room. After everyone left, she lay down on the bed and exclaimed, "Oh dear, being an actress is really not easy. Today was more tiring than working for a month."
She gave herself a big thumbs up for hitting the wall! She's so clever!
She slept soundly for two hours, then stumbled out of the room, crying, "Sister, sister, how could you be so heartless? How could you bear to leave us like this?"
We'll be keeping vigil tonight; everything outside has been changed to white, and white candles have been lit in the room.
Everyone knelt in front of the mourning hall, and Lu Li and Xi Ling burned paper money in a copper basin.
Jiang Can kept watch for the first half of the night, and then took Xie Yu back to their room to rest for the second half.
Xie Yu didn't want to sleep, but Jiang Can still took her back. "Even the strongest body can't take it. Sleep for a while and recharge. We'll need you tomorrow."
They also put sleeping pills into Xie Yu's water glass.
Xie Yu was heartbroken. Even when she stopped crying, she was still sobbing. She couldn't sleep at all in bed. She didn't understand why her grandmother had passed away. She was perfectly fine. Under the influence of sleeping pills, her eyelids soon closed.
During this time, Xi Ling came over and visited Xie Yu.
Jiang Can pointed to the sleeping pills, "I took two."
Xi Ling was relieved. She touched her daughter's face, sighed, and didn't dare to tell Xie Yu the truth.
Two days passed in this manner.
Jiang Can looked much more haggard, not to mention the rest of the Xie family.
On the second night, another piece of bad news arrived.
The Hongyu Base in northern Xinjiang was destroyed by a missile, resulting in the deaths of more than 2,000 people and the failure of the research mission.
Xie Yun sacrificed her life.
Lu Li fainted on the spot.
Sadness and despair enveloped the entire Xie family.
Xie Xun's cheeks flushed with excitement. He had done a great service and would receive more resources and be given the most important responsibilities.
He was so overjoyed that he quickly realized his mistake and burst into tears. Fortunately, everyone was grieving and no one noticed his emotions.
After Lu Li woke up, he refused to set up a memorial altar for Xie Yun, saying, "I want to see him alive or dead. I don't believe my son is still alive."
Xie Xun chuckled to himself. There were no corpses to be seen. Under the missile, everything had turned to ashes.
Perhaps if you grab a handful of ashes in the Red Jade Base, you'll find Xie Yun's corpse inside.
Doesn't the Xie family prefer cremation? This way, we don't even need to send it to the crematorium; it saves so much trouble!
Lu Li fell ill, and Xi Ling also fell ill, but she persevered, entertaining guests with Jiang Can and managing the old lady's funeral.
As a daughter-in-law, Jiang Can would take care of Lu Li whenever she had a spare moment, and also touch up Lu Li's makeup to make her look sickly.
Lu Li could only catch his breath by lying in the hospital bed and pretending to be sick.
The pressure fell on Xi Ling, who had to act out a desperate and painful state, and also had to cry, kneel, and entertain guests.
You have to deliberately starve yourself to lose weight, and you can't sleep too well either. Everyone here is smart; if you sleep well, your energy and spirit will be different, even if you put on dark circles under your eyes.
She felt like fainting and needing to catch her breath.
Fortunately, Xie Xun fainted. He was just too tired from acting and pretended to be sick to avoid work.
With him gone, things are a bit easier for the others; at least they don't have to go through the whole charade anymore.
The Xie family ultimately did not hold a funeral for Xie Yun.
On the fourth day, the old lady was buried. The sun was shining brightly that day, and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky.
Xie Xun felt that the weather was just like his mood.
He was dressed in mourning clothes and followed the procession, crying loudly. When they arrived at the cemetery, the crying continued in waves, which sounded like the best music to him.
The crowd suddenly became agitated. Soldiers surrounded the cemetery, pointing their guns at the people in the graves.
Xie Xun's heart skipped a beat, a chill rose from the soles of his feet and spread throughout his body, leaving his limbs stiff and unable to move. No, it can't be.
Could it be that they discovered the information leaked from the Xie family and are now trying to arrest them?
Yes! That must be it!
Arrest Xie Rong, arrest Xie Xuan, and execute them.
He was merely a descendant of the Xie family with no blood relation to him; they had absolutely no connection whatsoever.
A red dot was aimed at his temple.
It's a sniper rifle.
Xie Xun felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. He was doomed.
The seven people targeted by the sniper rifle were, apart from Xie Xun, six of whom were sons-in-law of high-ranking officials. The other two women were also married to high-ranking officials.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the chance to attend the old lady's funeral.
Xie Xun finally found his voice: "This is a play, a play made for me." He tried to drag Xie Yu down with him before he died.
It was discovered that Xie Yu was being protected by Shen Lang.
Moreover, the sniper rifle was faster than his movements; he ultimately didn't want to die.
He's only 19 years old. As long as he's alive, the US will definitely save him.
Xie Xuan looked down at him: "Are you worthy?"
Xie Xun is unworthy.
Killing Xie Xun is too easy.
What good would killing him do?
What the Xie family wants to eliminate is the powerful figures behind Xie Xun.
This power is too great; they can even launch nuclear missiles.
They also supported a group of very young people to enter various industries. If this continues for another ten years, these people will definitely be in high positions, and the resulting losses will be incalculable.
Fortunately, it was discovered now.
Early enough.
These people were quickly brought under control and put in handcuffs and leg irons.
Everyone was stunned. What was going on?
These people are all very influential.
Xie Xun is the Xie family's grandson who was switched at birth. The other man, in his early thirties, is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. The others are also sons-in-law and daughters-in-law from the military compound. What did they do to warrant such a large entourage?
Xie Yu suddenly grabbed Shen Lang's arm: "Tell me, where is Grandma?"
Her voice was trembling.
Shen Lang glanced at her. Hmm, she wasn't completely stupid. He said, "It's nothing."
"Where's my older brother?"
Shen Lang: "It's all fine."
Xie Yu burst into tears.
Since everyone has been arrested, there's no need to continue the funeral.
They tore off their mourning clothes and burned the burlap sacks; it was too unlucky!
The crowd came over to find out what had happened.
The fact that they came to the cemetery to arrest people means the matter is over and there's nothing that can't be said.
Even if the Xie family doesn't say anything, other families can find out by doing a little investigation when they get home.
Xie Xun and others are a group of spies supported by the Kuomintang and the United States, who want to gradually control the Chinese military and hinder its development.
If it weren't for Xie Xun's incident, it would actually have been very successful.
Xie Xun is a very clever man, but he has too big an appetite. He wants both wealth and power, and he always wants to kill Xie Yu and later Xie Yun so that he can seize the entire Xie family's assets.
When the Xie family learned of his intentions, they guessed the power and influence behind him. They realized that he couldn't possibly have that much ability on his own.
The Xie family released the bait of the stealth bomber, and immediately lured everyone out.
The United States is also researching stealth bombers, so how could it allow China to develop a stealth bomber first?
Of course, the rest cannot be discussed.
Others found it hard to believe, so they thought the Xie family staged the whole thing—the death of Old Madam Xie—in order to lure out enemy agents.
The old lady faked her death and arranged for a black and white photo to be taken at the funeral hall, with all her descendants dressed in mourning clothes.
Looking at the Xie family's demeanor, how could this be fake?
The most distressed are the families of the enemy agents who were just taken away. They were only there to attend a funeral when enemy agents appeared in their own homes.
The youngest daughter of the Zhou family was filled with regret; how could she have married such a scoundrel!
Is your husband more important or your family? Of course, your family is more important.
Her husband probably didn't get any information from the Zhou family.
Hang Jingjing was still reeling from the shock, so Xie Yu's grandmother was not dead, and Xie Yu's older brother was not dead either?
Not only did he not die, he also put on a grand show.
Her aunt was even labeled a spy? And she was arrested?
The Xie family has not only survived but also captured so many enemy agents. Wouldn't that be a further step forward?
Hang Jingjing's vision went black, and her back began to ache again.
Of course, there are also those who are unaware of the situation and make a fuss about not letting their husbands be arrested, but they are immediately stopped by their elders and told to quickly distance themselves from the situation!
Xie Yu's mind was in a mess, like a tangled ball of yarn. She didn't ask Xie Xun anything; all she wanted to do right now was see the old lady. She asked, "Where's Grandma?"
Shen Lang: "He's in the army. He should have been sent home by now."
Xie Yu wants to go back to find her grandmother.
When they arrived home, Grandma Xie was directing people to remove all the white decorations hanging in the house, saying they were too unsightly, and to put the red lanterns, red ribbons, and red carpets back on.
Burn all the white stuff quickly.
The black and white photos were torn up, making it seem as if she were really dead.
Xie Yu rushed over and hugged the old lady. Her grandmother's embrace was warm, and she could feel her grandmother's heartbeat. This was her living grandmother: "Grandma, Grandma, please don't scare me anymore. You must live to be a hundred years old and stay with me forever."
The old lady hugged Xie Yu, looking at her haggard face, swollen eyes, and the bruises under her eyes that made her look like a panda. This child had been her biggest worry these past few days.
They might not be able to withstand the blow.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, Grandma wouldn't dare to hide it from you."
Xie Yu felt wronged, but mostly happy. "Grandma is alive and well, and my older brother is alive too. I'm so happy, so incredibly happy, like I'm dreaming." She started crying as she spoke. Every time she fell asleep, she dreamed that her grandmother was alive, and after her older brother's accident, she dreamed that both her grandmother and older brother were alive.
The old lady patted her: "Good child."
Zhang Ma went to cook, making all of Xie Yu's favorite dishes, and told her to eat first.
Everyone else would sneak a bite to eat, but Xie Yu really hadn't eaten much these past two days.
Xie Xun would no longer starve himself; he wouldn't eat in front of everyone, but would secretly eat snacks.
Xie Yu drank a large bowl of chicken soup, ate chicken wings and drumsticks, his mouth full of oil, and was very satisfied.
After she finished eating, Xi Ling said, "Xiao Yu, go to the study to reflect on your actions."
Xie Yu was deeply hurt: "I should reflect on my actions? Why? You all kept it from me! You don't trust me!"
Xi Ling forced a smile and said, "No one is hiding anything from you, it's just that no one is telling you the whole story. No one will openly discuss this matter, but everyone understands. You're already 16 years old, do you still need someone to teach you word by word? If you haven't thought things through, then just stay in the study."
Jiang Can touched her tired face: "Why don't you start reflecting on your actions tomorrow?"
Xi Ling: "Grandpa said you should reflect on your actions today. Luckily you didn't ask why Xie Xun was arrested, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to drink this chicken soup."
He's like a complete idiot, even more clueless than Xie Shuo.
Xie Yu was sent to the study to reflect on his actions.
Jiang Can also felt that Xie Yu should reflect on his actions and be more cautious with everyone.
Grandpa Xie and Xie Xuan did not return for dinner, so Grandma Xie let Xie Yu out for dinner again.
A pile of papers was scattered on the table and on the floor, all written by Xie Yu. She had written down everything, forming a line.
Xie Yu cried again, “My third brother wants to kill me, for the money my parents earned. He wants to kill my aunt because she saw my second brother. He also wants to kill my grandmother. Did they tamper with her medicine? They want to know where my eldest brother is! Xie Xun urged me to send something to my eldest brother a few days ago. He’s a traitor, he’s an enemy agent! That missile was launched by enemy agents to kill my eldest brother and destroy his research.”
Grandma Xie sighed: "Yes. After your second brother was brought back, your eldest uncle secretly changed my doctor. He checked the medications I had taken before and found that they were all problematic and could cause me to have a heart attack and die suddenly. The medication he prescribed for me a couple of days ago had a higher dosage. He's trying to kill me. Yesterday, the day I was supposed to take the medication, the head of the emergency department was also transferred out in advance."
His mistress lost her child, and he rushed back to be with her.
Xie Yu couldn't help but feel relieved: "Thank goodness you're alright! Xie Xun is so hateful! We can't let him get away with this."
The old lady said, "He caused so much trouble for our Xiaoyu, almost tearing our family apart. How can we let him get away with this?"
She was glad that Xie Yu wasn't acting on emotion and could distinguish right from wrong.
She patted Xie Yu's hair: "If you've thought it through, come out for dinner."
Xie Yu: "Is Xu Ruyi an enemy agent?"
Grandma Xie: "You'll have to ask your uncle about that. I don't know anything about Xu Ruyi either. She's definitely not a good person."
Dinner was very lavish. Grandma Xie sat in the main seat, inviting the younger generation to eat. Everyone hadn't had a proper meal in the past few days, so they enjoyed a lively and hearty meal.
After the meal, Grandma Xie told everyone to go back to sleep.
Every member of the Xie family looked haggard. They had to play their part completely; they had genuinely cried until their eyes were swollen, shouted until their voices were hoarse, and starved themselves thin!
Even if they were just putting on an act, Xie Xun wouldn't believe it.
Even those behind Xie Xun wouldn't believe it.
Now that the matter has been resolved, the rest is up to the old man and Xie Xuan.
Shen Lang and Jiang Can both fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the bed, and slept until the next morning.
According to morning news reports, an island belonging to Country M was attacked by Country C at 5:00 AM and destroyed by Country C's missiles.
Country C does not have [the item], and it is unknown which country gifted it to them.
The Xie family all knew that this was China's retaliation.
When we had breakfast, Grandpa Xie had already returned. He was in excellent spirits and ate a large bowl of mutton soup with flatbread.
The old man knew everyone was curious about what would happen next, so he told them everything he could.
The enemy's agents are deeply entrenched, and they have grand schemes. They want to control the military forces of China and suppress the development of Chinese weapons. As long as China falls behind, it will be attacked and lose its voice in the international arena.
The vice president, director of the emergency department, and director of the gynecology department of the military hospital were all enemy agents. Over the years, they not only replaced the Xie family's children and benefited from Xie Xun's obedience, but also replaced the children of two other families. However, the children were still young, one was ten years old and the other was five years old, and they had not yet started to do evil.
The enemy agents, including Xie Xun, have not obtained any useful information over the years. The only way to obtain real information is to go up to the enemy and get the information they have the authority to do.
Just like Xie Xun, who has been in the Xie family for so many years, he only receives ordinary information.
It's dispensable and has no use whatsoever.
The fact that Xie Xun knew about Xie Yun's affairs was also due to the Xie family proactively revealing it to him.
Xu Ruyi is not Chinese. Her parents were Japanese. After they died, she was brought to China and became the daughter of the Xu family. She was smart from a young age and knew her future path.
Therefore, the Xu family members were all afraid of her.
Her future path is to get to know Chu Mu, Huo Yuanqi, and their group, and eventually choose the one with the highest status and the most benefit to marry.
Of course, she will cooperate with Xie Xun and others during this process.
Correspondingly, when she needs help in the future, Xie Xun and others will also need to cooperate with her.
They all shared the same great dream for the United States.
Xu Ruyi has now also been arrested.
Once they have confessed all the information they know, these people will be sentenced. Those who should be executed will be executed, and the rest of their lives will be spent in prison.
Let those enemy agents see the consequences of failure.
If the United States is willing to exchange resources, that would be even better, because they would be very, very expensive, so expensive that the United States would also feel the pinch.
-
The old man and woman took the whole family to Sendai Temple to burn incense.
Why are we going to Sendaiji Temple again?
Xie Yu felt that Xie Xun had tried every means to kill her, but failed. She was only able to run into Shen Lang and Jiang Can thanks to divine intervention.
Otherwise, she would have died long ago.
Grandpa Xie thought Sendai Temple and Fulushou Temple were both fine, as long as they were large temples.
The old lady faked her death, and the whole family dressed in mourning clothes and held a funeral.
They're just short of being buried.
That's really bad luck.
When they arrived at Sendaiji Temple, the abbot came out to greet them and take them inside.
They burned incense, worshipped Buddha, donated money, and listened to sutras. After lunch, they ate vegetarian food and continued listening to sutras in the afternoon.
As evening approached, the abbot and a group of monks escorted Xie's family down the mountain.
Sendaiji Temple was delighted with the day's earnings, which boosted its reputation. The Xie family was also happy, as the abbot said that the old man and woman had accumulated immeasurable merit and would live to be a hundred years old.
I also showed it to the rest of the Xie family, and they all said they were destined for good fortune and a bright future.
In the following days, the Xie family received a constant stream of guests, all of whom came to inquire about the old lady's health and praise her for putting on such a grand show. Those who were unaware of the truth were heartbroken and cried their eyes out.
The Chairman and his wife visited the old lady and presented her with a Guanyin image embroidered in gold thread, along with an inscription by the Chairman wishing her good health and a long life.
Actually, the elderly are somewhat superstitious, but for the sake of the country's interests, they were still willing to put on such a show with the Xie family.
The old lady was naturally delighted and had the Guanyin statue hung in the living room.
In addition, gifts were given to the Xie family's descendants; the boys received jade pendants, and the girls received jade bracelets. Thank you all for your hard work.
The Chairman and Mr. Xie chatted for a long time in the study, and then the Chairman left after having lunch.
Of course, the third generation cannot sit at the head table.
September 16th.
The Xie family held a family reunion banquet to welcome back Xie Lang, the true young master of the Xie family. It was also a celebration banquet to commemorate the successful completion of this mission.
Xie Yun didn't come back; he truly couldn't leave. He asked Lu Li to help him retrieve an aircraft carrier made from bullet casings from his cabinet and give it to Shen Lang and Jiang Can.
Xie Yu exclaimed, "These are my brother's most treasured possessions, he wouldn't give them to anyone! They're the first batch of bullet casings he used after he entered military academy. Every single one has a story behind it."
The more her older brother didn't want to give it to her, the more she wanted it. Of course, in the end, he didn't give it to her and gave her something else instead.
Shen Lang accepted the gift and placed it on his desk, next to the submachine gun given to him by Grandpa Xie.
Jiang Can thought Shen Lang seemed quite happy at that moment.
The Xie family's family reunion banquet was very lively. Since it was a family reunion, who wouldn't recognize Shen Lang and Jiang Can?
The two had only been back at the Xie family's house for a few days, and the Xie family had already accomplished such a big thing.
It's hard to say that Shen Lang didn't discover the clues.
To be so talented at such a young age.
The Xie family's future has taken another step forward.
The old guys are impressive enough, but the kids are even more impressive.
Grandma Xie led Jiang Can by the hand and showed her around.
Xie Yu went to find Chu Mu, Huo Yuanqi, and the others, not out of friendship, but because she wanted to ridicule them.
A few people sat in a secluded spot, not chatting, not even wanting to speak, looking listless and lacking energy.
They've had such a hard time at home these days, everyone has to yell at them.
A good-for-nothing bastard, a brainless idiot, a moron who only grows tall but not smart...
Five or six of them were completely outmaneuvered by an enemy agent.
Xu Ruyi's ultimate goal was to marry one of them, wait for them to rise to a high position, and then obtain national information from them in order to harm national interests.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle, and I feel like slapping my past self.
