Chapter 411 The Old Leader’s Instructions
Ying Qin pushed open the door of the ward and saw that the old leader had a ruddy complexion and was asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaorou."
Ye Rou responded and walked out.
Li Weijun, Liang Yushan and Secretary Du immediately surrounded them.
"How is the old chief?"
Ye Rou lowered her eyes and shook her head.
Secretary Du was stunned. After a moment of silence, he entered the ward.
Ying Qin noticed Ye Rou's emotions and patted her shoulder gently.
"Commander Li, Hu Lun is clamoring to see you."
Li Weijun said with a cold face, "What on earth does he want to do!"
Liang Yushan coughed softly and said, "Go meet him. After all, he is the old leader's only grandson."
Li Weijun walked over with a dark face, and Liang Yushan followed him out of concern.
Ying Qin let out a long sigh.
"It really makes me worry."
Ye Rou asked, "Grandma Ying, why did the old leader's condition suddenly worsen? I clearly told Secretary Du not to let the old leader get upset."
Ying Qin felt angry but also helpless.
"This is not Secretary Du's fault. It's Hu Lun. He is the old leader's grandson. He came to see the old leader. No one dared to stop him."
Ye Rou didn't understand: "Old Chief's grandson, why haven't I seen him before?"
"This is a confusing matter," Ying Qin said sadly, "The old leader only has one son, and he's a truly exceptional child."
The old leader went to the west to fight, and his mother died early. Hu Ming was raised in the village since he was a child, eating at many people's homes, but his personality was not extreme or sensitive, but cheerful and sunny.
Later, the old leader retired from the front line of the battlefield after making great contributions and was about to go to Beijing to pick up Hu Ming.
The village chief had an idea. Under the pretext of congratulations, he got Hu Ming drunk and sent him to the bed of his daughter Cui Ping.
And just like that, the marriage was done.
The old leader agreed to the marriage reluctantly, but Hu Ming didn't like it. Instead, he seemed to be stimulated and went to join the army.
The son doesn't come home once a year, and Cui Ping is not an honest person. She causes trouble everywhere. Everyone in the military region knows about these things happening in the old leader's family.
Later, Hu Ming died on the battlefield and became a martyr.
Cui Ping didn't want to be a widow at such a young age and insisted on remarrying.
The old leader agreed.
Cui Ping knew that she, a woman from the same village, had come this far thanks to the old leader.
She was afraid that after she remarried, the old leader would ignore her and she would be bullied when she went to her husband's house.
Finally, she set her sights on two-year-old Hu Lun.
She wanted to take the child away, but the old leader naturally disagreed.
But Cui Ping couldn't stand it and made a fuss all day long. In the end, she even tried to commit suicide with her children several times.
The old leader who had fought on the battlefield all his life and never bowed his head bowed his head to a woman.
He felt sorry for his grandson and was afraid that Cui Ping would really hurt his son's only flesh and blood, so he gave in.
Whenever Cui Ping was bullied by her husband's family, she would bring up the old leader. Over time, her husband kept his distance from her. She was unhappy and often took her anger out on her children. The old leader was heartbroken but helpless.
When Hu Lun grew up, he was sensitive and inferior, and even more confused than his mother.
But he was the only grandson of the old leader, and people in Beijing gave him some respect, which in turn led to his arrogant character, causing him to often cause trouble.
The people in the military district kept the fact that the old leader was sick and hospitalized a secret from Hu Lun, for fear that he would provoke the old leader.
In the end, he failed to prevent it, and Hu Lun found out.
Hu Lun went into the ward to see the old leader. No one knew what they talked about. A moment later, Secretary Du went in again. The old leader had already fainted from vomiting blood due to anger.
Ying Qin sighed and said, "The old leader has lived his life with a clear conscience, serving the people up and down, being worthy of the country and his conscience. But it's these things that happened at home. Alas."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Ye Rou looked unhappy, so she dragged Ye Rou to her office to rest for a while.
——
Li Weijun and Liang Yushan entered the next ward one after another.
Hu Lun's shoes stepped on the white sheets, leaving black footprints.
He looks very similar to Cui Ping, with a thin face, sparse eyebrows, and both like to look at people with squinted eyes.
Li Weijun and Liang Yushan were both men who had come back from the battlefield, and they had a cold aura.
Two men stood beside the bed with dark faces, like two black towers, hard, cold, and extremely powerful.
But Hu Lun was not afraid of them. He still crossed his legs and ate the peeled apple.
He chewed the apple in big mouthfuls and said in a somewhat slurred voice, "You are finally willing to see me."
When Li Weijun was young, he had a hot temper, but after experiencing the cowshed incident, he became much calmer.
Otherwise, if he were younger, he would have beaten this kid up anyway.
He said coldly: "What on earth are you going to do, kid?"
Hu Lun snorted, "I was just wondering what you guys wanted to do!"
"How dare you hide the news that my grandfather is seriously ill from me."
He glared at the two of them and said sarcastically, "Is what they say outside true? You two are waiting for my grandfather to die so that you can inherit his position!"
Li Weijun and Liang Yushan did not respond to Hu Lun's accusations.
Seeing his scrutinizing, indifferent and cold gaze, Hu Lun shuddered and became inexplicably more honest.
Li Weijun asked sternly, "What on earth did you say to the old commander?"
Hu Lun chewed the apple silently without saying a word, but his eyes kept rolling around, revealing his current restlessness.
It was useless for Liang Yushan and Li Weijun to press him to tell him what he refused to say.
After all, Hu Lun knew that they would not hurt him no matter what.
Because he is the old leader's only grandson.
His act of pretending to be crazy and stupid made Liang Yushan and Li Weijun realize that there was something wrong.
After a while, a soldier pushed the door open and whispered a few words into Li Weijun's ear.
Liang Yushan's eyes moved slightly.
It seems that the person in charge of interrogating the old leader's guard asked some questions.
It was this guard who revealed the news that the old leader was seriously ill to Hu Lun, leading to today's farce.
Li Weijun didn't know what he heard, and his face immediately darkened.
"I understand. You can go out now."
After the soldier in charge of the report left, Li Weijun's eyes were extremely complicated.
He glanced at Liang Yushan solemnly, leaving Liang Yushan puzzled.
Before he could ask, Li Weijun said with great displeasure, "Hu Lun, what did the Ji family promise you?"
Liang Yushan was caught off guard by these words, and his eyes widened as he looked at Li Weijun.
"Li Weijun, what do you mean?"
Li Weijun didn't answer Liang Yushan's words. He continued to stare at Hu Lun and forced him to speak.
At this point, Hu Lun did not lie or deny it. He raised his sparse eyebrows.
"Of course it's money."
Li Weijun frowned, "Just for money?"
The disbelief in his tone amused Hu Lun.
Hu Lun laughed and said, "Money is the most important thing."
"You're a complete idiot."
Li Weijun didn't expect that Hu Lun would agree to the Ji family's request for just a little money, in order to anger the old leader and make him leave faster.
This is ridiculous.
Is money more important than the old leader’s life?
He thought so and asked it out loud.
Hu Lun snorted and laughed, "If my grandfather were still alive and well, anyone who agreed to the Ji family's request would be a fool. But isn't he dying now? He's old and will die sooner or later. Since someone is willing to pay for his death, why shouldn't I agree?"
Li Weijun was shocked by Hu Lun's words.
Liang Yushan got a headache when he thought about the Ji family getting involved in such a thing.
His father-in-law is an old fox. When he couldn't defeat the Qu family, he pretended to be sick to avoid the limelight and secretly supported him to fight against the Qu family.
Now, seeing that the Qu family has been defeated, he can no longer sit still in his position as the leader.
——
The old leader had a long dream, opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
What he couldn't let go of the most was China.
Surrounded by wolves, the hardships that China needs to overcome if it wants to develop are unimaginable.
Politics, economy, technology, education... At this time, China was lagging far behind other countries. If it wanted to develop, it would inevitably be surrounded and blocked. If it took a wrong step or exposed its weaknesses, it would be pounced on and devoured by the surrounding enemies.
What would happen to China's future was what the old leader was most worried about before his death.
Ye Rou's speech at the opening ceremony deeply touched the old leader's heart.
And in this dream today, he truly saw the red miracle.
The big stone in his heart was put down.
Secretary Du, who was guarding the bedside, saw that the old leader had woken up and said excitedly: "Old leader, you are awake. I will go call Doctor Ye."
"Xiao Du, wait a moment." The old leader called him.
Secretary Du had a bad premonition and sat down beside the bed as the old leader instructed.
"Good boy."
The old leader patted Du Yun's hand and sighed, "Xiao Du, I've delayed you for following me all these years."
Du Yun seemed to have realized something. He was so sad that he couldn't speak and just shook his head.
The old commander said slowly, "I've already transferred you to the government. You don't have a strong foundation in the military region, so you won't get far. Don't be so quick to refuse. I'm asking you to go to the government because I want you to do something."
Du Yun didn't understand but still listened obediently.
The old, rough hand held Du Yun tightly and said seriously, "Protect Ye Rou."
