Chapter 1151 - Relics
"Beep, beep, beep....."
The instruments placed in the ward issued an ear-piercing sound. Everyone present knew that Wu Zhengmin had died.
Wu Zhengming's wife cried. Wu Zhiyong's face was pale.
Only Wu Zhengxiang was still standing there looking at Wu Zhengxiang. He quickly looked away, but he couldn't forget how Wu Zhengming looked at him. Even now, Wu Zhengxiang was still staring at him with his eyes wide open.
Wu Zhengxiang turned around and left the ward.
Wu Zhiqiang was startled by the sound of Wu Zhengxiang's footsteps. He immediately came back to his senses and turned around to look at Wu Zhengxiang's back.
After a while, Wu Zhengxiang walked in again and said, "Sis, I will go make the arrangements first. Don't be too sad when you go."
With that, he left in a hurry.
Then, Wu Zhiyong immediately stood up and quickly left the ward. He came to the corridor and found his father's personal guard, Xiao Lin, among a group of guards. Xiao Lin was also looking at him.
Wu Zhiyong gave Xiao Lin a meaningful glance before walking towards the end of the corridor. Xiao Lin understood and immediately followed.
The two of them arrived at the public toilet at the end of the corridor. Wu Zhizhong looked around and frowned. Xiao Lin was about to say something, but Wu Zhizhong suddenly raised his finger and made a silencing gesture, then turned around and left.
Xiao Lin was startled and quickly caught up. He saw Wu Zhizhong walk out of a room, push open the door and walk in. Little Lin immediately followed inside. Wu Zhiqiang said, "Close the door!"
"Eldest Young Master, the Minister told me to give this to you!" Xiao Lin took out something black from the gap of his belt buckle and handed it to Wu Zhiyong.
Wu Zhiqiang took it and looked at it, only to find it was a memory card. He asked, "This is …"
Xiao Lin said, "The minister said that after you see this, you'll understand."
Wu Zhizhong nodded and asked, "What else did my father say?"
Lil 'Lin shook his head and said, "No."
Wu Zhiyong asked, "Has anyone come to see my father in the past few days?" He had been staying in Northern Shan during this time. If he hadn't received a call from his father, he wouldn't have come back since his ident.i.ty was very awkward, so he might as well stay in the Northern Shan Province.
However, when he found out that his father had left something for him, he immediately thought of many things.
Xiao Lin nodded and said, "A few people came to visit the Minister." He said a few names.
Wu Zhizhong's eyes slightly narrowed.
Xiao Lin said, "Young Master, if there is nothing else, then I will return first."
Wu Zhizhong nodded and waited until Xiao Lin had just taken a few steps, before he suddenly said: "Xiao Lin, be careful."
Looking at the memory card in his hand, Wu Zhiyong's expression became especially serious and nervous. He took off his shoes, put the memory card in his socks and walked out of the ward.
After leaving, he found that no one was paying attention to him, so he was slightly relieved. He could not help but feel a little lucky. Thankfully, this was an intensive care ward, and it was specially prepared for the big leadership. Therefore, basically no one would suddenly come here, even if the ward was empty.
… ….
Two days later, the news of Wu Zhengmin's death was officially announced.
At this time, almost everyone in the circle knew, including the people outside of Beijing. However, what was out of everyone's expectations was that Wu Zhengmin's death did not cause too much of a commotion. This was related to him stepping down to the second string long ago.
Currently, the pillar of the Wu Clan was the second oldest, Wu Zhengxiang.
To put it bluntly, in many people's eyes, Wu Zhengmin was already a sinner. Especially for the Wu family, some of his mistakes had caused the Wu family to lose quite a bit. This made some people complain.
Therefore, after Wu Zhengmin retreated to the second tier, not many people came to visit him.
Now that he was dead, it was only out of face, or perhaps out of face for Wu Zhengxiang and the old man of the Wu family, that he came to pay his respects.
However, what was noteworthy was that the Wu family's old man did not appear at Wu Zhengmin's funeral.
Some people said that because of Wu Zhengmin's death, the old man of the Wu family suffered a great blow. His body collapsed, and he was afraid that his life would end very soon.
However, there were also people who said that the old man's body had long since collapsed, which was why he did not attend his eldest son's funeral.
Other than that, there was another saying that because the Old Master of the Wu family was angry at Wu Zhengmin, he had already expelled Wu Zhengmin from the family in secret. He didn't even come to attend the funeral.
All kinds of rumors were being spread, even Ji Feng, who was far away in Jiang Prefecture, had heard them. However, he was inclined to believe that the old man of the Wu family was sick long ago.
On one hand, the old man of the Wu family was already very old, so it was about time for him to stand. On the other hand, it was because of Wu Zhengmin's death. As the eldest son, if Wu Zhengmin's death didn't affect the old man, then it must be a lie. Furthermore, in Ji Feng's opinion, it was not a small blow.
According to what he had heard, although Wu Zhengxiang was very shrewd, he didn't have Wu Zhengxiang's grandeur. He wasn't a perfect candidate for the position of Patriarch. Perhaps, if it wasn't because of helplessness, the Old Master of the Wu family would never let Wu Zhengxiang sit in the position of Patriarch!
However, these were only Ji Feng's guesses. As for what was going on behind the scenes, he wasn't too sure either.
On the other hand, Second Brother Ji Shaolei excitedly said during dinner, "San-er, did you hear? The Old Master of the Wu Clan can't do it anymore."
Before Ji Feng could say anything, Ji Zhenguo's face darkened, "You can't stop me from eating? Is there anything you can comment on? "
Ji Shalei, on the other hand, was listless.
Young Master Ji, who had just returned from the Golden Temple, smiled and said, "Shaolei, it's best if you don't worry too much about this matter! This is not something we should worry about! "
When Ji Feng realized that his second uncle had no intention of explaining, he did not ask any further questions.
A change had happened in the Wu family. From a subjective point of view, this was beneficial to him. Otherwise, with the relationship between the Wu family and himself, or perhaps the Ji family, perhaps some mishap would befall them.
Although Wu Zhengming made a lot of mistakes when he was in charge of the faction, he still had a lot of followers. Now that he was dead, if Wu Zhengxiang wanted to reform the faction, it would take some time.
However, it was rare for a family to get together, so they naturally wouldn't talk too much about other families.
Ji Shaodong asked, "Dad, there are only two years left before the new batch changes. Can Eldest Uncle still move?"
Ji Zhenguo shook his head. "Naturally, there will be considerations in these matters."
Ji Shaodong didn't ask any more questions. He knew that his father and the others respected the law and the system. That was because they were the only ones who could understand how important all of this was.
However, Ji Shaodong had his own a.n.a.lysis of the situation, and he knew that it was precisely because of that that he was able to improve.
Thus, after the meal, the three brothers gathered together again. Ji Shalei asked first, "Big Brother, did you just say Big Uncle would be able to move?"
Ji Shaodong said, "I think there's a possibility. Last time when Big Uncle changed seats, although he didn't change his position, he became the Princ.i.p.al. The next time, the overall situation won't change and the big picture won't change. However, Big Uncle might be the deputy."
Hearing that, Ji Shaolei's eyes immediately lit up. "Top a.s.sistant? Wouldn't that mean we're preparing for five years later? "
Ji Shaodong nodded. "This is only my a.n.a.lysis. But to be more accurate, seven years is too long. No one knows what will happen then."
"What big brother said is right. Seven years is too long. We should pay attention to what is happening in front of us first." Ji Feng smiled.
"Last time, when the martial arts elder was ambushed, the uncle was actually a step closer to taking over the post of princ.i.p.al. This time, the martial arts elder was eliminated, and I heard that the old man's body is about to fall apart. Then the next target should be safe!" Ji Shalei smiled.
Ji Shaodong shook his head. "Your a.n.a.lysis is too optimistic."
Ji Feng also smiled and nodded. He didn't take Ji Shaolei's speculations and a.n.a.lysis seriously. After all, seven years was too long, and many things could happen in the middle of it.
Most importantly, it was said that the old man of the Wu family was unable to make it. However, even now, no one had confirmed it.
As long as the old man of the Wu family was still alive, there were still variables.
In fact, even if the old man was no longer around, if Wu Zhengxiang was smart, he would still be able to cause a lot of resistance and attack.
There were many variables in between!
After that, Ji Feng inquired Li Yantong and her daughter about their situation in detail. They talked about other topics for a while longer before returning home in the evening.
Ji Shaodong couldn't stay in the governor's office either. After all, he was getting busier and busier as his position got higher and higher. As a result, he had less time for himself.
"Oh yeah, number three, you should get married, right?" Ji Shalei suddenly asked.
"Ugh!" Third Bro, since you've already graduated, it's time to consider the matter of marriage. " Ji Shaodong said, "After all, your condition is somewhat special."
Ji Feng nodded as he replied, "I'm thinking about it."
Marry.
Ji Feng fell into deep thought.
In the following period of time, the outside world was bustling with noise and excitement. Ji Feng continued to study his weapons, and at the same time, Ji Shaodong and Ji Shalei's words caused him to realize that he had to shoulder some of his responsibilities and not push things any further.
On this night, Ji Feng's consciousness entered the s.p.a.ce of his brain.
"Greetings, Master." The artificial intelligence system floated over shakily, "Master, what orders do you have?"
"You … Is this what the program is for? " Ji Feng was quite surprised by the way the intellectual brain greeted others and its tone of voice.
"No, I think Master would like this way of greeting." The intellectual brain said.
"You think?"
Ji Feng was amused, "So, you can think?"
