Chapter 411 The Funeral Ends
Just as everyone was about to speak, the sound of a motorcycle came from ahead. Unexpectedly, the police abandoned their car and came over on a motorcycle!
After the police came down, they immediately set up a cordon, made several phone calls, and then looked at them.
"What's going on here! What are you doing?!" He said, his eyes sweeping over the dozen or so bodyguards from the Zhou family, his gaze wary.
Gu Yin blinked, then stepped forward and stood in front of the crowd, saying fearfully, "We don't know what happened either. We just came back from the airport, and as soon as we got out of the car at the entrance, this van accelerated and rammed into us! The black car did the same thing, swaying and wobbling, and the people inside seemed drunk, and it also drove towards us! Officer, I just entered Professor Cheng Dong's lab and this happened. I suspect that the people inside have been bribed by hostile foreign elements!"
"Officer, you absolutely must investigate this thoroughly! I suspect the people inside are trying to murder me for money!"
Gu Le also realized what was happening and stepped forward, pointing to the bodyguards: "If it weren't for the bodyguards my grandfather hired, we would be dead here today! Officer, I came from Hong Kong, and this is my first day here, and I've already encountered all this. What else could this be but a robbery and murder? After all, my grandfather is a shipping magnate! The kind with a net worth of hundreds of billions!"
When the police heard that this was some kind of laboratory and belonged to a shipping magnate, they were completely baffled! If the two kids weren't lying, then this was a serious matter!
“We will find out the truth. Now you need to come with me to the police station to make a statement.”
Gu Yin looked at the three members of the Chu family: "Dad Chu, could you please ask my parents to come out for me? After all, my brother and I are still minors. Then you can go about your business and don't worry about us. We'll be fine."
Chu Xiong knew this was no simple matter. Gu Yin and Gu Le had arrived in Jiang City that morning. If this was truly aimed at them, they should have acted during the day, not waited until now. Therefore, the target of these people's actions was actually the Chu family.
But now that the old man is holding a funeral, they can't leave. Gu Yin and Gu Le took the initiative to involve the Zhou family and Academician Cheng. This means there are big things involved behind the scenes. No matter who is behind them or who they want to deal with, this time they are definitely facing the Zhou family and the country. After all, Gu Yin said that they might be hostile forces.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Chu Xiong would have laughed. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get Brother Gu. Officers, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he told Chu Yan to wait here with him, and he and Yao Jinse returned to Professor Yao's house and then called the people out.
When they heard the sound of the car collision, the people in the Yao family hadn't reacted yet. They thought it was a house being demolished somewhere. It wasn't until the screams continued that they realized something must have happened. But since Old Master Yao's matter was important, no one went out.
When Chu Xiong and his wife came in and learned that something had happened to them, they were so frightened that they immediately ran out.
The rest of the Gu family also ran out, and they were relieved to see Gu Yin and Gu Le standing there safely.
Looking at the wrecked van, then at the black car next to it whose front end was completely smashed, and at the several people lying on the ground groaning and unconscious, Grandma Gu patted her chest and exclaimed, "Thank goodness Brother Zhou had the foresight to hire so many security guards! Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! Officers! These people must be trying to kidnap my grandson for money! You must punish them severely!"
When the parents arrived, the police told them to go with Gu Yin and Gu Le, along with the bodyguards. The other officers waited for the ambulance and their team to arrive and investigate the scene.
After everyone left, Chu Yan returned to his maternal grandfather's house. He felt at ease knowing that Gu Yin and the bodyguards were at the police station.
When Chu Yan entered the mourning hall, Old Madam Ye had already been woken up by Ye Tiantian and was talking to Yao Jinse about what happened last night and his last words.
"Yesterday was the routine check-up at the hospital, and everything came back normal. Whenever Grandpa comes back from a check-up with nothing wrong, the family doctor takes the day off. I cooked dinner, and after Grandpa ate, he went to rest. Then I went out to chat with some other elderly ladies. When I came back in the evening, I wanted to ask Grandpa what he wanted for dinner, and I saw him convulsing in bed. I called him, but he didn't respond. So I called a car. Halfway there, Grandpa was in so much pain that he passed out before we even got to the hospital. He was resuscitated at the hospital, and he woke up for about half an hour before he passed away! Waaah, it's all my fault! If I hadn't gone out to chat, if I had noticed he was unwell immediately, he wouldn't have left us like this!"
After saying that, she burst into tears.
Yao Jinse and Chu Xiong went to see the old man's spirit, and then looked at the doctor's diagnosis, critical condition notice, and other documents, all of which indicated that the old man had passed away from a heart attack.
Chu Xiong patted Yao Jinse on the shoulder, then went to arrange for a Taoist priest to perform a ritual. By the time Gu Yin and the others returned from the police station, the ritual was already halfway complete.
Only relatives could follow the monk around the white sail, so after the Gu family returned, they could only stay inside.
The religious ceremony continued until midnight before they rested, followed by a vigil that lasted until 7 a.m. the next morning, when the coffin was finally taken out.
Grandpa Yao bought the cemetery plot a long time ago. The cemetery at that time was different from that of later generations. It consisted of cement tombs built of cement, and the area was quite large.
The monk performed another ritual, and the burial took place at sunrise. Afterward, the funeral shop staff began to build the grave.
It wasn't until after noon that everything was finished.
Back at the old man's house, Chu Xiong settled the bills with the Taoist priest and the funeral shop staff, leaving only his own family members at home.
After making a phone call, Yao Jinse looked at Old Mrs. Ye and said, "My father is gone. Do you want to stay here or come back to Beijing with me? If you come back to Beijing, I will arrange accommodation for you and hire a caregiver. You can just relax and enjoy your retirement there."
Grandma Ye sobbed weakly, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here. This is my and Lao Yao's home. I don't want to go anywhere! Waaah!"
"Grandma, please stop crying. You've been crying for two days now. What if you ruin your eyes?! No one's chasing you away, so don't worry!" Ye Tiantian comforted the old lady in a low voice.
Seeing this, Yao Jinse didn't say anything more: "Everyone has been busy all day. Let's all go and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Since there weren't many rooms in the house, everyone moved to a hotel for accommodation.
