Chapter 356 The tree fell and the hozen scattered (2)
At one o'clock, a Soaring Group business jet took off from Donghai Pudong Airport, got into the clouds like a bird, and flew to the north.
Except for Chen Fan and Susan, there were no other passengers in the cabin.
The stewardess who served the two of them alone had deep doubts in her eyes when she faced them, wondering what their identities were and why they could fly alone on the Aoxiang Group's business jet.
After all, in her memory, only senior executives of the group are qualified to fly on the group's business jets.
Naturally, Chen Fan and Susan would not explain the flight attendant's doubts.
In the cabin, Chen Fan's expression had returned to calmness, but... there was deep sadness in the calmness.
Susan, on the other hand, was like a well-behaved kitten, quietly leaning on Chen Fan.
During the days when Chen Fan took her to stay in Yanjing, she could clearly feel the strong feelings between Chen Fan and Mrs. Chen.
She knew very well that the impact of the death of Mrs. Chen on Chen Fan could not be described in words. The grief in her heart was simply negligible compared to Chen Fan.
About two hours later, the business jet landed at Yanjing International Airport on time.
Outside the airport passage, Mr. Chen's security guard Xiao Zhuzhu had been waiting for a long time.
"Uncle Zhuzi." Chen Fan spoke first when he saw the little Zhuzhu who used to remain calm even when he saw provincial, ministerial and senior officials, with red eyes and a grief-stricken expression.
"Xiaofan, Shanshan." Xiaozhu adjusted his mood and went forward.
"Uncle Zhuzhu." Susan said hello to Xiaozhu.
Xiao Zhuzhu nodded to Susan, and then said to Chen Fan in a sad tone: "Xiao Fan, the old...the old chief is at the General Hospital of the Yanjing Military Region. I will take you there."
"Yeah." Chen Fan nodded lightly.
An hour later, Xiaozhu drove a Hongqi car with a Yanjing Military Region license plate and took Chen Fan and Susan to the Yanjing Military Region General Hospital. They successfully passed three checkpoints and parked the car in the small courtyard in the inner courtyard.
In the parking lot.
Compared to the morning, there were more cars in the parking lot, and most of them were cars with military license plates, but the cars belonging to the No. 1 leader and several members of the Standing Committee were no longer there.
Obviously, they have left.
After all, their status is extraordinary, they have many things to deal with every day, and they have too many things to deal with at hand, so they cannot spend too much time with Mr. Chen.
But what is certain is that they will definitely be present at the farewell ceremony and other ceremonies.
After getting out of the car, Chen Fan and Susan led the way directly into the heavily guarded third floor.
Mr. Chen's body was still left at the door of the intensive care unit. In the corridor, the bodyguards in charge of guarding had red eyes and clear tears on their faces. The occasionally seen doctors and nurses also had tears streaming down their faces.
Feeling the sad atmosphere in the corridor, Susan's eye circles turned red again. Chen Fan's expression did not change much, but the sadness in his eyes became stronger, so that when he walked, his legs trembled slightly.
.
To Chen Fan, the corridor, which was only a few tens of meters long, seemed farther than the distance between the moon and the earth.
What flashed in his mind was the scene of him and the old man sitting in the study, eating peanuts and drinking wine.
The old man's laughter that day echoed in his ears.
And the familiar and friendly voice from a few hours ago...
As if it was only a moment, as if centuries had passed, Chen Fan finally arrived at the door of the intensive care unit under the leadership of Xiao Zhuzhu.
The bodyguard at the door was no stranger to Xiao Zhuzhu. When he saw that it was Xiao Zhuzhu who was leading him, he didn't ask any questions and simply stepped aside to let the three of them pass.
"Xiaofan, you and Shanshan go in, I won't go in." Xiaozhu's eyes were red and he bit his lip.
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded, then turned to look at Susan, and found that Susan was crying again, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
After shaking Susan's hand firmly, Chen Fan pushed open the door of the intensive care unit.
Crunch!
With a soft sound, Chen Fan opened the door and walked in.
There were chaotic cries in the room, and there were people standing in front of the hospital bed, most of them wearing military uniforms.
In addition, Chen Jianguo's two daughters threw themselves beside Mr. Chen and shed tears, crying extremely sadly.
Everyone's attention was on Old Mrs. Chen, so much so that when Chen Fan entered the room with Susan, he didn't attract much attention.
On the hospital bed, Mr. Chen put on the Red Army clothes that he had kept for decades. The clothes were very tattered and had lots of patches on them.
The difference from the morning was that Old Mrs. Chen's body had been specially treated. His dry skin looked much rosier and his sparse white hair was combed very neatly.
Looking at the dark heads in the intensive care unit, continuous crying sounded in her ears. Susan cried harder, while Chen Fan was calmer than before, even the sadness in his eyes
All have been disappeared.
Not sad?
no!
He just hid that sadness deeply!
Through the gap in the crowd, Chen Fan came to Old Mrs. Chen who was lying on the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully. His body trembled slightly, without speaking, he took Susan's hand and squeezed into the crowd.
For a time, the intensive care unit, which was crying loudly, became much quieter because of the arrival of Chen Fan and Susan.
One, two, three, four, five...
The crowd dispersed automatically, making way for Chen Fan and Susan.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps...
Under the gaze of more and more people, Chen Fan pulled the tearful Susan and walked toward the old man who let go and left the world, his steps were heavy and steady.
Looking at Chen Fan's calm and terrifying expression, both the military personnel and some members of the Chen family had strange expressions on their faces, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
In addition, after Chen Yongrui and Chen Fei saw Chen Fan, a strange light flashed in their eyes, and Chen Jianguo frowned slightly.
Chen Zhan and his wife looked at Chen Fan with some worry. They knew very well that the grief in Chen Fan's heart was worse than anyone else in this room!
Beside the hospital bed, Chen Fan's two cousins saw Chen Fan pulling Susan forward. Their crying gradually became quieter, and then they stood up reluctantly and hugged Old Mrs. Chen's face.
After doing all this, they returned to the crowd.
At the same time, Chen Fan pulled Susan to the front of Mr. Chen, standing as straight as a steel gun!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed like running water. Chen Fan did not move, nor did he comfort the tearful Susan next to him. He just stared blankly at the old man who had gone to "another country", as if he wanted to imprint the old man's last remains firmly on his face.
Deep in my heart!
"Old man, I'm sorry, Shanshan and I are late."
Suddenly, Chen Fan spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
While speaking, he bit his lip tightly, biting it so hard that he bit his lip and blood instantly spilled out.
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fan's knees hit the floor hard, with such force that the floor broke into pieces.
"Bang!"
Seeing Chen Fan kneel down, Susan also knelt down.
"Shanshan, kowtow three times to the old man."
Chen Fan stared at Old Mrs. Chen's remains and said softly.
After that, he and Susan kowtowed together.
"Bang!"
Chen Fan knocked so hard that a blood bag bulged on his forehead under the exertion.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Not paying attention to the blood bag on his head, Chen Fan knocked twice more. After knocking, his forehead was stained with blood.
"Fan'er, wipe the blood from your forehead and get up with Shanshan." Chen Zhan stepped forward and handed Chen Fan the handkerchief of Chen Fan's mother, Sun Yaling.
Chen Fan did not take the handkerchief or stand up. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Chen Zhan calmly: "Dad, why didn't you inform me earlier?"
"I only found out about this four days ago, when your old man's condition was extremely serious..." Chen Zhan tried to explain, but faced with Chen Fan's overly calm gaze, he was halfway through and didn't know how to continue.
"Chen Fan, after you kowtow, get up and ask your cousins to kowtow to your old lady." Chen Yongrui said in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, go outside and tell your dad!"
Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at Chen Yongrui.
"What are you looking at? Don't you know that kowtowing involves seniority?" Chen Fei took a step forward and glanced at Chen Fan coldly.
As soon as the two people said these words, in the intensive care unit, in addition to the Chen family, other big shots from the military and political circles were moved in their hearts, and looked at Chen Fan with extremely complicated eyes.
They all know that after the death of Old Mrs. Chen, Chen Fan will no longer be the Chen Fan who was held in the palm of Old Mrs. Chen and feared by all the big guys. On the contrary, his status in the Chen family will definitely plummet!
The result of this is that the unity within the Chen family will be officially broken!
In addition, those military bosses knew very well: when Old Mrs. Chen was alive, they respected the Chen family very much in the military because they were grateful and gave Old Mrs. Chen face, and regarded the Chen family as the leader.
With Old Mrs. Chen leaving, the Chen family's unassailable position in the military may also be loosened...
After all, favors are limited - while you are alive, others may care about your favors, but once you die, the favors will be very light.
Otherwise, most of the descendants of those founding heroes would not be far away from the center of power.
"Chen Yongrui, what do you mean?" While those outsiders were harboring evil intentions, a trace of anger flashed across Chen Zhan's originally guilty and sad face.
"Chen Zhan, Xiaofei has made it very clear just now. Your son doesn't understand seniority and etiquette, so don't you?" Facing Chen Zhan's anger, Chen Yongrui was not afraid at all.
Chen Zhan's expression changed and he was about to say something when he saw Chen Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up and walked straight towards Chen Yongrui and Chen Fei.
His steps were neither hasty nor slow, and his expression was as calm as water.
For some reason, when they saw Chen Fan approaching, both Chen Yongrui and Chen Fei, who were expected to become deputy national bosses in the future, changed their expressions slightly.
"Today is the day when the old man leaves. I don't care what your plans are in your mind. I don't want you to let outsiders see our Chen family's jokes here." Soon, Chen Fan walked directly in front of Chen Yongrui and looked at him levelly.
Looking into Chen Yongrui's eyes, he said word by word: "Otherwise, his old man will never rest in peace even if he goes underground."
"Are you kidding?" Chen Fei snorted coldly: "What qualifications do you have to say that? Have you brought too much shame to the Chen family?"
"Whoa!"
As soon as Chen Fei said these words, many people's expressions changed. They did not expect that the internal conflicts in the Chen family were so deep. As soon as Old Mrs. Chen left, he would fall out!
Chen Fan turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and fixed his gaze firmly on Chen Fei.
Anyone who knows him well knows that this is a sign that he will get angry and kill!
