Xu Chunliang lifted the corner of the tent, just saw a sad scene, he pursed his lips, his heart was swayed by an indescribable emotion, and quietly retreated.

The mobile phone rang, it was Ye Qingya's call, Xu Chunliang looked at the name on the screen, hesitating to answer, he didn't know if Ye Qingya already knew the bad news.

"Take it, she'll have to know sooner or later." Lin Sijin didn't know when he appeared by Xu Chunliang's side.

Xu Chunliang nodded, walked to the side and connected the phone, Lin Sijin looked at it from afar, although she couldn't see her daughter, she could really feel her daughter's sadness, she always thought that she was strong enough to face everything, but she didn't have the courage to tell her daughter about her husband's death, so she told the truth through Xu Chunliang.

The truth is often brutal, but it is inescapable.

Lin Sijin decided to send Ye Changyuan's body back to the capital, but under the current situation, occupying public resources would inevitably fall into disposition, but she couldn't think too much about it, if the body was cremated on the spot, then the Ye family would not be able to see him for the last time.

Out of respect for the Ye family, Lin Sijin still discussed with Ye Changquan, Ye Changquan's plane had just landed at the capital airport, and his attitude towards this matter was relatively cautious, as a person in the system, he must consider the follow-up impact, although he also wanted the body of his eldest brother to be transported back to the capital for cremation, but at this sensitive moment, using a special plane to transport the body of his eldest brother back to the capital would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Ye Changquan didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he decided to ask his father's opinion first.

Ye Lao stayed awake all night, looking at the sky outside that was gradually white, sighed softly, turned around, and saw his tearful granddaughter, he clenched the armrest of the sofa hard, shook his head, and signaled that she didn't have to say anything, he had completely understood.

Receiving this call from Ye Changquan, Ye Lao pondered for a moment, his tone was heavy, and he responded slowly: "I'm old, I'm tired, you decide for yourself." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, stood up, looked at Ye Qingya, who was crying silently on the side, took the initiative to walk over, and gently hugged his granddaughter: "I'll go to sleep, wake me up when your dad comes back." ”

Ye Qingya looked at her grandfather's suddenly rickety back with teary eyes, she knew that her grandfather chose to leave now because she didn't want others to see his sadness.

When people are old, they usually wake up earlier, and the same is true for Qiao Lao, after waking up, he paid attention to the news of the Juzhou earthquake for the first time, and after hearing about the plane crash of the inspection team of the Disaster Reduction Committee, Qiao Lao was suddenly silent, his mood became extremely heavy, and he picked up the phone several times and put it down.

As an old friend for many years, it is natural to express his condolences now, and he hesitated whether to go to the Ye family in person.

Just when there was a fierce battle in his heart, Wang Lao called, and Wang Lao also heard about Ye Changyuan, the three of them had shared weal and woe together, although they had reduced their contacts in recent years because of different ideas, but their revolutionary friendship would not change.

Qiao Lao still remembers how the two old friends enlightened him when his son Qiao Yuanshan disappeared, and now that something has happened to the Ye family, if he doesn't condolence at the first time, wouldn't it seem that the human affection is weak, not to mention that the Qiao Ye family was originally in-laws.

Because of Wang Lao's call, Qiao Lao decided to call Ye Lao first, at least to show his attitude, he would not stand idly by.

Ye Lao answered the phone after a few rings, his voice did not reveal too much sadness, but he looked a little tired: "Old Qiao." ”

Qiao Lao snorted and said in a low voice: "I have heard about Changyuan, since the matter has happened, don't be too sad, you must take care of your body, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it." ”

Ye Lao said: "It is an honorable thing to die in the line of duty, I am not sad, since he embarked on the road of the system, I am mentally prepared to hand him over to the country." ”

Qiao Lao sighed with emotion: "Lao Ye, a good son cultivated by you." ”

Ye Lao said: "I didn't do anything, it was the country that cultivated him, and he has relied on his own efforts to get to this point, and isn't it exactly what we communists are pursuing after doing his best?" ”

Qiao Lao said: "Old Ye, I know that you are high-spirited, and there are some things that are inconvenient to mention to the organization, let me tell you." ”

"No need, Old Joe, I appreciate your kindness, and you have helped him enough."

Qiao Lao's heart seemed to be tightly gripped, and he realized that Ye Lao's state of mind at this time was by no means as peaceful as he had shown verbally. He wanted to explain something, but now was not the right time, so he pondered it and added, "I'll arrange for Changyuan to be transported back to the capital." ”

Ye Lao said: "There are other people on the same plane, they all died in the line of duty, and some of them didn't even find their bodies, our Ye family doesn't want to occupy shared resources at this time, I believe that Changyuan has a spirit in the sky and doesn't want us to do this, we can handle the affairs of our Ye family ourselves." ”

This sentence was already said very politely, Qiao Lao knew that Ye Lao was not just because of excessive sadness, so he didn't say more, comforted Ye Lao and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Qiao Rulong has honestly thought about it behind closed doors in the capital since the robbery of Qi Shuang's mother and son, and he happened to live at his grandfather's house today.

He had just received the news that Ye Changyuan had died in the line of duty, and was about to come out to tell his grandfather, but when he saw his grandfather's face, he realized that he already knew.

"Grandpa, it's early!"

Qiao Lao glanced at his grandson, since the Nanjiang hijacking incident, the communication between the grandfather and grandson has obviously decreased, although they have spent more time together, but Qiao Lao rarely takes the initiative to speak, and he can also see that his grandson is trying to ease the relationship between them.

Qiao Lao nodded: "Something?" ”

Qiao Rulong said: "Qingya's father's matter." ”

Qiao Lao picked up the cigarette from the coffee table, Qiao Rulong was a little surprised in his heart, grandpa had already quit smoking, how could he suddenly start smoking again? Is it because of Ye Changyuan's matter?

Qiao Rulong walked over and took the initiative to help his grandfather light a cigarette.

Qiao Lao took a puff of his cigarette and said softly, "He is also your father-in-law." ”

Qiao Rulong pursed his lips, this was a fact he couldn't deny, but now that he and Ye Qingya were divorced, there was naturally no such relationship between him and Ye Changyuan.

Qiao Lao said: "What are you going to do?" ”

Qiao Rulong said: "I plan to go to the Ye family to see if there is anything I can help with." ”

Qiao Lao took another puff of cigarette, secretly thinking in his heart, he was afraid that the Ye family might not want to see him, the old friend who had been on the phone for many years just now had made it clear that he refused, but no matter what the Ye family thought, they couldn't help but go, otherwise others would say that their Qiao family was too unkind.

Qiao Lao said: "The Ye family thinks that Ye Changyuan's removal from the Disaster Reduction Committee is a role for me. ”

Qiao Rulong looked at his grandfather with astonishment, he knew that Ye Changquan went to Neon because his grandfather came forward, but he had never heard that Ye Changyuan's position change was related to his grandfather.

Qiao Lao said: "He made some mistakes in decision-making, someone took the opportunity to kick him out of his original position, but he relied on me, and it just so happened that something happened to our two families, and everything seemed so logical." ”

Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa, you can explain." ”

Qiao Lao shook his head: "It's useless to explain, I'm afraid the misunderstanding between the Qiao family and the Ye family is going to get deeper and deeper." ”

Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa, do I still want to go?" ”

Qiao Lao frowned, do you still have to ask yourself for such a simple matter? He said angrily: "You can do it yourself." ”

Qiao Rulong said: "I heard that his body is still in the disaster area, is it going to be cremated locally?" ”

Qiao Lao said: "There are other people who are in trouble at the same time, and in reason they should not occupy public resources at this time, but when this happens, the family must want to see the last side." He didn't say that he offered to come forward to arrange for the body to be transported back, but Ye Lao refused.

Qiao Rulong said: "We can't interfere in this matter, and the Ye family has to make the decision themselves." ”

Qiao Lao's heart became more and more disappointed, he was not disappointed that his grandson drew a line and stood by, but found that Qiao Rulong did not have a sense of the overall situation, with Qiao Rulong's financial resources and connections, he could use his personal relationship to help the Ye family solve this matter, even if he and Ye Qingya had divorced, as Ye Changyuan's ex-son-in-law, no one would dislike him for doing this.

After this incident, the only remaining old relationship between Qiao Ye's two families was completely broken, Qiao Lao knew Ye Lao's temperament very well, and Ye Lao would definitely count this account on his head. They are too familiar with each other, they know each other's methods too well, and the person who took Ye Changyuan's seat this time is precisely his student, and many people think that Qiao Lao played a role behind it.

Originally, even if Ye Changyuan went to the Disaster Reduction Committee, he would not make an old friend go against him, but God made people, and he unfortunately died in his post as soon as he went to the Disaster Reduction Committee.

Qiao Lao's heart was full of pain, both sad for Ye Changyuan's untimely death, and sad for the friendship between him and Ye Lao that had passed away.

When it comes to political means, Ye Lao can't compare to himself, but when Ye Lao wants to deal with a person, he is more direct and fierce than anyone else. Qiao Lao had never been so painful in his life as he was now, and he could never have imagined that he would have to face the soldiers of his old friends after he faded out of politics.

Qiao Lao looked at Qiao Rulong and said a sentence extremely firmly: "Rulong, I want you to resign immediately." ”

Although Qiao Rulong knew that this day would come sooner or later, when his grandfather clearly said the request, his heart was inevitably shocked: "Immediately? ”

Qiao Lao nodded and said, "You must solve your affairs well, don't leave any problems, and don't be made by people with intentions." ”

Qiao Rulong said in a low voice: "Grandpa, you mean that the Ye family will target me behind my back?" ”

Qiao Lao shook his head: "Old Ye is above board, even if he wants to deal with you, he will make a clear move, I am worried that some people, they will take advantage of Changyuan's death to divide the relationship between our two families and provoke a struggle between us." ”

Qiao Rulong said: "Can't the Ye family see such a simple question?" Ye Changyuan's affairs have nothing to do with our family, if you want to target them, why do you want to help Ye Changquan......"

Qiao Lao's gaze at Qiao Rulong became a little terrifying, and Qiao Rulong didn't dare to continue.

Qiao Lao said word by word: "Remember, the Ye family has never been our enemy, not in the past, not now, and not in the future!" ”
