"Alright." Ling Hong nodded his head quietly at Yuan Zhou's words.
"That's weird. What's wrong with this person?" Wuhai looked at Ling Hong with a strange expression.
After a while, he realized that Yuan Zhou said he was resting today.
"Compass, are you serious? Why are you resting? Wait a minute, I don't agree. "Wuhai immediately started to make a fuss. Nothing was more important than his meal.
Even if Tu Tieguo looked extremely sad, he would treat him to an all-fish feast to nourish himself.
No matter what, he could not rest.
Wuhai looked at Yuan Zhou in shock and confusion.
Before Yuan Zhou could explain, or rather, Wuhai could make a fuss even more, Yin Ya and Jiang Changxi arrived together.
When the two of them said they were going to do it immediately, they were really going to do it immediately.
It had only been eight minutes since Yuan Zhou made the call and the two of them arrived at the Yuanzhou shop.
Yin Ya was wearing a beige suit with her hair tied up in a ponytail. She held a floral bag in her hand and wore a pair of simple black mid-heeled shoes. Her eyebrows were knitted together and her watery eyes were looking at Yuan Zhou worriedly.
Jiang Changxi was wearing a black lady's suit and a pair of black high heels. She held a classic black leather bag in her hand and was dressed in all black.
However, her usually smiling eyes were extremely nervous. She first looked at Yuan Zhou's expression and then looked at Ling Hong who was leaning against the wall with his back hunched. She felt slightly relieved.
"Compass, how could you …" Wuhai did not even turn his head when he heard the footsteps. However, he was interrupted by Jiang Changxi before he could finish his sentence.
"You're not allowed to speak," Jiang Changxi walked to the middle of the three, turned her head and said to Wuhai with a strong and stern aura.
Wu Hai instantly frowned. When he was about to refute, he suddenly touched his mustache and became quiet. Perhaps he thought of Wu Lin, Jiang Changxi, and Yin Ya, and their expressions were too ugly.
"You haven't said it yet, right?" Jiang Changxi saw that Wuhai had quietened down and turned back to ask Ling Hong.
"Mm." Ling Hong grunted softly and didn't move.
Jiang Changxi nodded and did not speak for a while. Instead, it was Yin Ya who spoke.
"Yuan Zhou, I'm here," Yin Ya said softly.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still nodded with a gentle expression.
"Since everyone is here, let me say it," Jiang Changxi said after the two finished their greetings.
"Ling Hong can't say it, but it happened three days ago." Jiang Changxi's tone was solemn and not frivolous at all.
"Go ahead," Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"There was a piece of news three days ago. An old man was stabbed while trying to stop a thief. After that, he died after being sent to the hospital." Jiang Changxi took a deep breath and said word by word.
Yuan Zhou's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Jiang Changxi and Ling Hong with a serious expression.
Ling Hong, who heard Jiang Changxi's words, lowered his head and his expression could not be seen. Wuhai's hand stopped on his mustache.
Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou worriedly.
"It was Grandpa Jia, wasn't it?" Yuan Zhou said calmly and in a low voice.
"Yes, it was Grandpa Jia." Yin Ya nodded her head.
Although Grandpa Jia had retired for a long time, he would definitely stop such a thing if he saw it. No matter from which aspect, he was worthy of being a soldier.
He just did not expect the thieves to be so rampant.
"Grandpa Jia has no relatives. After Ling Hong's grandfather knew about it, he took over Grandpa Jia's funeral. That's why Ling Hong didn't come these three days," Jiang Changxi said.
"What happened to the thief?" Wuhai asked.
"He was caught yesterday and is waiting for the legal trial," Ling Hong said while gnashing his teeth.
"Let's go there now," Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and said.
"I drove here. Let's go there together," Ling Hong said.
"Um." They nodded their heads and walked out of the alley together.
Both Yuan Zhou and Wuhai were dressed in sportswear. They just walked out of the alley with the others. It was rare for Yuan Zhou to walk in the alley openly after asking for leave.
It was actually still early. There were only some steamed bun shops open for business. Along the way, someone greeted Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou just nodded his head and said nothing.
The five of them walked to the intersection in silence. There was a black SUV parked there and a ticket had been pasted on it. It must have been pasted by the meticulous traffic police officer.
Because the traffic police officer was still there and because Ling Hong didn't pull out the key after getting off the car, he didn't even close the door of the driver's seat.
"I'm sorry. We are in a hurry now. It's really troublesome," Yuan Zhou took a step forward and said to the traffic police officer who was frowning.
"You can't just ignore it. Don't do it again. Remember to pay the ticket," the traffic police officer frowned and took a look at them. After that, he left.
"Thank you," Yuan Zhou said softly.
Upon hearing that, the traffic police officer waved his hand and left.
"Let me drive," Yin Ya took a look at Ling Hong and then said.
"Okay. Here you are." Ling Hong wanted to take out the key subconsciously but found there was nothing in his pocket.
"The key is still in. Yin Ya, drive slowly," Yuan Zhou pointed at the key on the steering wheel and said.
"I will." Yin Ya nodded her head earnestly.
"The three of us will sit in the back seat. Jiang Changxi, you sit in the front passenger seat," Yuan Zhou said and then opened the door of the back seat to let Wuhai get in first.
It was rare for Wuhai to be so quiet. He went in and sat down quietly. Then, Yuan Zhou sat in the middle and pulled Ling Hong to get in the car.
After they sat down, Yin Ya started the car slowly.
That's right. Yin Ya knew about Grandpa Jia on the way here because she met Jiang Changxi who was rushing over.
And Jiang Changxi knew about it a day earlier than them.
Other than Jiang Changxi's voice, the car was unusually quiet and no one spoke.
When they were near Mount Mu Ma, there was more greenery by the side of the car and there were even birds chirping. At that moment, Yin Ya quietly opened the window.
"I still owe Grandpa Jia breakfast," Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"I still owe Grandpa Jia dinner and wine," Ling Hong was startled and then said in a low voice.
Wuhai didn't talk to the others. He muttered to himself, "All thieves should be shot. Shot. Shot."
"Fortunately, Grandpa Jia and Grandfather Ling are here." Yuan Zhou thought of the boxer who was only left with the nurse to deliver his belongings.
Whether it was the food he owed or the wine he owed, he would never be able to pay them back. After a few words, the car fell into silence again. At the same time, they arrived at their destination. It was a large and quiet courtyard. There were black and white flowers outside the door.
Yin Ya stopped the car and the few of them got out. They walked straight into the villa.
After passing through the courtyard, they arrived at the hall. Grandpa Jia's coffin was in the middle of the hall. Grandpa Jia's portrait hung on the wall, but it was too young.
"This is what he gave me after I treated him to a meal. He said that this is a picture of him before he joined the war. He insisted that this is much better looking than when I was younger." Just as everyone was in a daze, Grandfather Ling's hoarse voice rang out.
"It's just that I didn't expect this old man to have no other photos other than this one. Now, he's even more handsome than me," Grandfather Ling scolded as he slammed his walking stick on the ground in dissatisfaction.
"Yeah." The few of them nodded at the same time and didn't say anything.
"I didn't invite anyone else, just these few. Class Monitor Jia, I believe you want to meet them."
"Especially this Little Boss Yuan. Didn't you say you want to eat his cooking until you die?" Grandfather Ling said.
