Duan Zetao frowned and asked Xiao Kedi: "Uncle, I think this matter is not so simple, this matter is ostensibly aimed at Zhiwen, but in fact it is aimed at the Xiao family, who is it that has such a deep contradiction with our Xiao family, and wants to use such a vicious trick?" ……”。

Xiao Kedi glanced at Duan Zetao with a complicated expression, sighed and said: "Zetao, you can also see it, the old man had a strong temper back then, and he was in such a sensitive position, and there were many people who offended, but if you want to say that the most contradictory with our Xiao family, it is only the Long family, the old man of the Long family has a long history of contradictions with his father, the Long family has been lush in recent years, and there are several provincial and ministerial-level officials abroad, and he can also speak in the center, Long Yutian, secretary of the Xijiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, is the descendant of the Long family. An Xuri, secretary of the Donghu City Municipal Party Committee, is Long Yutian's old subordinate, and if anyone targets our Xiao family, they are the only ones......."

"But we don't have evidence in our hands, and the situation is stronger than people, and now the power of the Long family is far better than our Xiao family, even if we know that they are targeting us, what can we do?! It can only be blamed for Zhiwen being too angry, and being caught by someone hurts his feet, so that he will bring today's disaster to the Xiao family, if the old man falls, the life of the Xiao family will be even more difficult in the future......."

A cold light flashed in Duan Zetao's eyes, and he said categorically: "No matter who it is, if something happens to grandpa because of this, I will definitely make him pay!" ......", Xiao Kedi said with a solemn face: "Zetao, don't mess around, the relationship here is too complicated, if you get involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of ......."

At this time, the door of the emergency room opened, and a doctor wearing glasses walked out of it with a solemn face, and the two quickly stopped talking, greeted them, and said eagerly: "Doctor, how is it?!" ……”。

The doctor took off his mask and said with a heavy heart: "We have tried our best, the chief is old, and all physiological mechanisms have declined, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get through, just now I gave the chief a shot in the heart, the chief has woken up, you hurry up and go in to see him for the last time......."

Duan Zetao was like being struck by lightning, and his whole person was blindfolded, and Xiao Min on the side was already crying, Xiao Kedi choked up and said: "When I see my father, don't cry, let the old man finish the last journey quietly!" ……”。

As soon as I saw the ward, I saw that Old Man Xiao had an oxygen tube in his nose and an infusion tube in his arm, his body was very weak, and a green dot on the heartbeat detector on the side was beating slowly in a waveform, making a dripping sound from time to time

Duan Zetao's nose was sore, tears came down again, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Old Man Xiao's bed, held the old man's dry hand with both hands, and choked up: "Grandpa, I'm late......."

Old Man Xiao smiled weakly: "Silly boy, what are you crying about, who hasn't died one day, I guess I won't be able to survive this time......", said and turned to Xiao Ke's enemy and said: "Ke enemy, after I leave, the funeral ceremony should be simple, don't make specialization, don't make trouble to the organization, don't make any personal requests, everything is decided by the funeral committee...... Ze Tao is the hope of our Xiao family, you are an elder, you must take good care of Ze Tao and let him carry forward the Xiao family......", probably stuck by a mouthful of phlegm, Old Man Xiao coughed violently.

Duan Zetao felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly stroked up and down on Old Man Xiao's chest to help him calm down, and said in a choked voice: "Grandpa, don't talk about ......."

Old Man Xiao calmed down, shook his head and said, "If I don't say it again, I won't have a chance to say ...... later", and waved his hand at Xiao Ke's enemy and said, "You go out first, I have something to say to Zetao alone......

Xiao Kedi knew that Old Man Xiao was going to confess his last words to Duan Zetao, so he beckoned Xiao Min and the others, who were already crying, to exit the ward, leaving only Duan Zetao and Old Man Xiao in the ward.

Old Man Xiao looked at Duan Zetao lovingly, beckoned to him, and asked him to come over with his ear, Duan Zetao quickly leaned over and put his ear to Old Man Xiao's lips, and heard him whisper: "Zetao, in the bottom cabinet of the bookcase in my study, there is a small book, on which there is the contact information of some of my old subordinates, they can be trusted, you can ask them for help if you have something......."

"This time Zhiwen had an accident, eight or nine times out of ten it was the people of the Long family who were behind the ghosts, the grievances of our older generation, you don't have to meddle, people die and hatred are eliminated, and there is no great grudge, if Zhiwen deserves it, you can let him go, if there is another reason for this, you can help it, you can't let the people of the Xiao family end ......well."

Duan Zetao nodded heavily, after the old man Xiao confessed his last words, his heart was gone, and his eyes were full of brilliance again, and he laughed and said: "I, Xiao, have killed countless people in my life, and I have a good grandson, God treats me well, I have no regrets in this life!" ……”。

Suddenly, the laughter stopped, Duan Zetao looked up, and saw that Old Man Xiao's eyes were closed, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling.

"Grandpa!" , Duan Zetao cried out heartbreakingly, and Xiao Kedi and the others outside also ran in when they heard the voice, and for a while, there was a cry in the ward, and there was an atmosphere of grief.

The death of the old man Xiao also alarmed the national leaders, the general secretary visited abroad, and also sent a telegram for the first time to express condolences, and the prime minister personally went to the 301 hospital, expressed condolences to the Xiao family, and expressed great sorrow for the death of the old man Xiao. ……”。

Because Mr. Xiao belonged to the military before his death, the Central Military Commission set up a special working group to prepare for the funeral, and Xiao Kedi was also in this working group as an immediate family member, and Duan Zetao was unable to participate in the preparation of the funeral because he did not officially return to the Xiao family publicly.

But there are different opinions on the funeral specifications of Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao is the founding father, and the funeral specifications should be handled according to the specifications of the national leaders with his qualifications, but on the other hand, Mr. Xiao was in charge of the military's secret intelligence department before taking office, and he had great power, but the level was relatively vague, except for the first time after the liberation, when he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, the rank has not changed since then, and if the funeral is carried out according to the specifications of the lieutenant general, the specifications are much lower.
