In the end, the driver dropped Jiang Cheng off at a hotel that was more than 4,000 meters away from Mino's house. This was the hotel closest to Mino's house.
In Beijing's First Ring Road, the housing prices were ridiculously expensive, but the houses in this circle were never for sale. Those who wanted to buy were not qualified, and those who wanted to sell, well, no one would want to sell the houses here at all.
The people who could live here were all people of high status. Only a fool would sell the houses here. This was a symbol of status.
The housing prices in Beijing were expensive, and the hotel was not cheap either. Jiang Cheng spent 500 yuan to stay in a single room.
After a night of silence, Jiang Cheng did not sleep well. He slept through the night in a nightmare. At night, he dreamed that Mino had left him, and he was nowhere to be found.
Early in the morning, Jiang Cheng was pleasantly surprised by the nightmare. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. After washing away the sweat on his body, he put on the clothes that he had asked the hotel to wash last night.
After checking out in the morning, Jiang Cheng rushed to Mino's house. It was impossible to get a taxi in Beijing in the morning. Jiang Cheng ran the 4,000 meters. He was sweating all over again after taking a shower.
However, he could not care so much at this time. At seven o 'clock sharp, Jiang Cheng stood at the door of Mino's house. He plucked up his courage and knocked on the door.
Jiang Cheng knocked on the old wooden door, but after knocking for a full five minutes, there was no sound at all. There was not even a voice. Jiang Cheng could not help but wonder if there was no one at Mino's house.
According to Jiang Cheng's understanding, although there were not many men in Mino's family, there were still a lot of women. Mi Yi's wife, Mi Yi's daughter, Mi Yan, plus Mino and Old Master Mi, there should be four people at home.
He had knocked on the door for so long, but why didn't anyone open the door? This didn't make sense. Even if the person inside was deaf, he should have heard him knocking on the door, right?
Not long after, an orange Maybach sports car whizzed past him, but a few seconds later, the Maybach reversed back.
A handsome face poked out of the convertible Maybach. He shouted at Jiang Cheng, who was standing in front of Mino's house, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he turned around and saw that it was a young man in his twenties. He didn't know him.
Jiang Cheng replied, "I'm here to look for someone. Do you know this family?"
The young man replied with a smile, "Of course I know them. I grew up in this area. How can I not know them? Why are you looking for them?"
"Well, it's very important!"
"Do you know who lives here?" the young man asked.
"Of course, the old General Mi and his family live here. I'm here to look for the old general!" Jiang Cheng didn't say Mino's name. Instead, he used the name of Mino's grandfather. He thought that since this young man was from around here, he must be a member of the third generation of the Red Army. He must be very familiar with these old revolutionaries.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Cheng said the name of the old general, the vigilant expression on the young man's face disappeared a lot. Instead, it was replaced by a look of sorrow.
He said, "Since you're here to look for the old general, don't you know that the old general is dying now?"
Suddenly hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression changed instantly. He asked, "What did you say? The old general is dying? When did this happen? Why didn't I know? "
The young man began to doubt Jiang Cheng's identity. He asked vigilantly, "Who are you? Why are you looking for the Mi family? "
"I'm the boyfriend of Old Mi's granddaughter. My name is Jiang Cheng!"
"Oh! So it's you. You're the man that Sister Mi loves so much. Get in the car. I'll take you to see them. You won't see them even if you wait here for a whole day. Their whole family has gone to 301 Hospital. "
"What? 301？”
Jiang Cheng was shocked. He didn't expect that Old Mi's condition would deteriorate so much that he had to be hospitalized in 301 Hospital. Since the young man said that the Mi family had gone to 301 Hospital, it must be very serious.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, he came in time. If he came a little later, he might not be able to see the old man for the last time.
After getting in the car, the young man smiled and stretched out his white hand to Jiang Cheng. He said, "My name is He Xiang!"
"Jiang Cheng!" Jiang Cheng also stretched out his hand and shook He Xiang's hand gently to show his respect.
On the way, through his conversation with He Xiang, Jiang Cheng had a basic understanding of some things. This He Xiang's ancestor was actually a general who had founded the country and held great power. Now, after decades of turbulence, the He family was still like an evergreen tree within the party and the military, standing tall and unshakable.
The He family and the Mi family had been good friends for generations. He Xiang had been very close to Mino since he was young. He Xiang even joked, "You don't know. Back then, my grandpa and Grandpa Mi made a promise that I would marry Sister Mino. It almost happened. Later, my mother disagreed. She said that I was a few years younger than Sister Mi and it was not good for me to marry her."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. In his opinion, the reason that He Xiang's mother found was not a big deal at all. It was not a big deal for a woman to be three or four years older than a man. There was a saying in Chinese that a woman three years older than a man would hug a golden brick.
If a man married a woman who was a few years older than him, it was a man's blessing.
He Xiang's mother didn't agree to their marriage because she saw that the future of the Mi family was not good. She didn't like her son marrying a retired general's granddaughter, so she found such a reason to avoid it.
He Xiang was 21 years old this year and was still studying at Tsinghua University. Now that there were still a few days left for the summer vacation, He Xiang had no choice but to come back from overseas to prepare for the start of school.
Even though He Xiang's family conditions were good and he had a good family background, he did not have the playboy style of those rich young masters. He did not look like a playboy at all. This made Jiang Cheng think highly of He Xiang.
Compared to that Fu Yisheng, that Fu Yisheng was simply scum. He had no upbringing, no manners, and a vicious heart.
On the contrary, He Xiang kept matchmaking Jiang Cheng and Mino on the way. He explained to Jiang Cheng how Mino was and how good she was in the past. It made Jiang Cheng very happy.
At this time, in the 301 Hospital in the suburbs, under the heavy protection of a large number of armed police officers, a large number of generals of the country had arrived at the hospital.
Outside the intensive care ward, there were old people in general uniforms everywhere. All of them looked depressed and their eyes were full of negativity.
On the bench in the corridor, the two sisters, Mino and Mi Yan, were hugging each other with tears in their eyes. Mi Yi's wife was also wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Outside the main entrance of the operating room, General Ning Huanyu, the actual ruler of the army, was pacing back and forth in front of the door.
Ten minutes later, a white-haired old general opened his mouth and shouted at Ning Huanyu, "Bastard, can't you stop for a while? You're walking around and making my eyes dizzy. Can't you be considerate of my old bones?"
The one who spoke was an old general in his eighties, a few years older than Ning Huanyu. He used to be Ning Huanyu's superior.
Although General Ning was in his sixties and held great power in his hands, he still didn't dare to speak carelessly in front of his old superior.
As soon as the old general spoke, Ning Huanyu immediately stopped walking. He walked up to the old general and said, "Chief, I'm just worried about my old comrade. He's been in there for more than an hour. Why hasn't the doctor come out yet? I'm worried to death!"
The generals present were all in their fifties and sixties. They had worked with Old Mi in the past, so they more or less had some friendship with him. Ning Huanyu's words just happened to hit the nail on the head.
Old Mi's health shouldn't be so poor at his age. But in fact, everyone knew that if Old Mi hadn't made a mistake, he would definitely be sitting in a higher position than everyone present. Moreover, they weren't familiar with what happened back then. It was Old Mi's own fault. He had no choice but to do it because he was forced to do it.
Old Mi had used his own future to protect their political lives. That was why these old fellows were where they were today. That was why they could still wear their military uniforms and pray for him.
A few minutes later, the door to the operation room finally opened. A doctor in a snow-white coat, mask, and surgical gloves walked out. A group of nurses followed behind him.
As soon as the doctor came out, a group of green generals greeted him. They blocked the doctor at the door of the operating room and began to ask him about the situation.
Mino, who was sitting on the bench, hurriedly pulled her sister and aunt over when she saw the doctor come out.
After all, they were Old Mi's direct relatives. The generals respected them very much and made way for them.
Mino was the calmest. She walked up to the doctor and asked unhurriedly, "Doctor, how's my grandfather?"
