()772 Hospital South Building Senior Ward, Corridor.
"Dean Sun, the light in the room here is not good, how can you let the old man move here?" A man in his fifties, slightly stout and with majestic eyes stood in the corridor, looking a little unhappy.
"Director Zuo, I also tried to persuade him, but Mr. Zuo didn't listen. Mr. Zuo said that the window here faces his hometown, so he can see his brother earlier." A doctor in his seventies and wearing reading glasses stood there.
The person on the other side looked helpless.
The dignified man's name is Zuo Shiji, 55 years old, who works at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The doctor opposite him is the director of the 772 Hospital. The person the two people are talking about is one of the few remaining elders of the Republic, Zuo Yuan.
……………………………………………………
As early as more than 20 years ago, Zuo Yuan and his younger brother Zuo Yan, both of whom were veterans of the military, took a back seat and barely appeared in the news. Some young people don't even know their names. But as long as they know a little bit,
No one dares to underestimate the Zuo family.
Zuo Zongwen, Zuo Yuan's son, became governor very early, but unfortunately he became ill from overwork and eventually collapsed on his desk. Zuo Shiji was Zuo Zongwen's only son. Although he was not as high-spirited as his father, he still achieved it.
At the ministerial level, Zuo Yan's lineage mostly served in the military, and they were also very powerful. And the Zuo family's disciples were all over the world.
Precisely because the influence of power covers so much, Zuo Yuan and Zuo Yan did not want to attract too much criticism, so they handed over power early and took a back seat.
However, no matter how restrained the descendants of the Zuo family are, as long as the two giant Buddhas Zuo Yuan and Zuo Yan are around, no one dares to look down on the Zuo family.
Everyone in the Zuo family understands this very well. No matter for the sake of family ties or the sake of the family, nothing can happen to the two old men. After Zuo Yuan was admitted to the hospital, the Zuo family was in a state of panic, and Zuo Shiji was even more anxious.
Zuo Shiji worked at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but he was not a serious director. Instead, he held a casual position like many retired veteran cadres. He was a full-time official in name, but had almost no real power under his command. Zuo Shiji had been moving around and wanted to change places and seek a better job.
development of.
Zuo Yan's influence lies in the military, and Zuo Shiji can only rely on Zuo Yuan.
Because of the Zuo family tradition, Zuo Yuan has never spoken to Zuo Shiji, but as long as this giant Buddha is here, no one dares to leave him alone.
"Dean Sun." Zuo Shiji glanced at the ward, frowned and said, "Please tell me today, how long does the old man have left?"
Dean Sun hesitated and stretched out a finger.
"One year?" Zuo Shiji frowned even more tightly.
Dean Sun shook his head: "One month!"
"What?" Zuo Shiji was shocked, glanced around, and whispered: "The old man can eat, drink, and sleep, and his brain is not confused. How can it be possible that he only has one month?"
"Mr. Zuo didn't let me tell you at first." Dean Sun sighed: "Mr. Zuo is not sick anywhere in his body, but because his kidneys are aging. The month I mentioned is already the best result."
"You..." Zuo Shiji no longer bothered to pursue the matter that Dean Sun had concealed about him. He restrained himself and said with hope: "Dean Sun, you are an authority in the medical field. Now that science and technology are so advanced, there will always be no
Is there no way? Even if I can’t get off the ground, it would be nice if I could save the old man a breath..."
"Director Zuo, I told you that Mr. Zuo is not sick!" Dean Sun understood what Zuo Shiji meant and was a little unhappy. He said angrily: "Unless you can get the thousand-year-old ginseng, Mr. Zuo won't last long."
Zuo Shiji also realized that he had lost his composure, but he was also a little dissatisfied with Dean Sun's attitude: "Dean Sun, you have to speak responsibly. Do you think you are making a movie for a thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"I'm not kidding." Dean Sun has seen many officials, big and small, and is really not afraid of Zuo Shiji. He said rather forcefully: "If you can really get me a millennium ginseng, otherwise I don't dare to
He said that he can keep Mr. Zuo safe for at least ten years."
"..."
Zuo Shiji stopped talking.
In this day and age, not to mention thousand-year-old ginseng, even finding a single hundred-year-old ginseng will cause a lot of media hype.
At this moment, a man ran over from a distance in a hurry, it was Zheng Wufeng.
Dean Sun was furious: "Who is that? You are not allowed to run around in the hospital."
Zuo Shiji was in a bad mood. After seeing clearly that it was Zheng Wufeng, he angrily shouted: "Zheng Wufeng, stop here."
"Director Zuo, Dean Sun." Zheng Wufeng quickly stopped and stood at attention.
"Don't you know where this place is? Why are you running around here?" Zuo Shiji said angrily: "Get out of here."
"Director Zuo..." Zheng Wufeng also realized that he had lost his temper, but still said: "I want to see the photo of Mr. Zuo. When I went to pack my things just now, Lao Zhao said that it had been sent over."
"What photos are you looking at?" Zuo Shiji was even more furious.
Zheng Wufeng said bravely: "It's a photo of Mr. Zuo and General Zuo, and there's another person in it..."
Zuo Shiji opened his mouth, wanting to curse but couldn't.
This Zheng Wufeng is famous for his bad temper. If he wants to do something, it will be useless for anyone to come unless his immediate superior speaks out. But if you want to protect your leader, you really need such a person.
Moreover, Zheng Wufeng is very principled in his work and will never get into trouble unless it is related to the task he is doing.
"What's going on? You know the rules." Zuo Shiji said patiently: "Nothing special, even I can't just enter the old man's room."
"Look at this." Zheng Wufeng took out Zuo Han's photo from his pocket and handed it over.
Zuo Shiji took a look at it and asked casually: "Who is this?"
"There is a person we are investigating." Zheng Wufeng said: "He seems to be exactly the same as the person in Zuo Lao's photo, so I want to confirm."
"They are very similar." Zuo Shiji was also a little surprised, but still said: "But there is no way he has any relationship with the person in the photo. The person in the photo is my second grandfather, who died before the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"Maybe they are his descendants." Zheng Wufeng insisted.
Zuo Shiji couldn't help but laugh: "You have a rich imagination, but that's impossible. The second grandfather was very young at the time and was not married."
"But that's such a coincidence. This person's surname is also Zuo." Zheng Wufeng frowned and said to himself, "Could it be that Zuo Han's name is fake..."
"Zuo Han?!" Before Zheng Wufeng finished speaking, Zuo Shiji's hand shook and the photo almost fell to the ground.
"Do you know this name?" Zheng Wufeng's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly.
Zuo Shiji was speechless and didn't know what to say.
How could he not know? Every direct member of the Zuo family knows.
Every time at family gatherings, Mr. Zuo and Zuo Yan, known as General Zuo, would talk about it repeatedly.
Without the second grandpa, there would be no third grandpa. Without the second grandpa, there would be no current Zuo family. Your eldest grandpa and the third grandpa both owe their lives to your second grandpa.
Your second grandfather’s name is Zuo Han!
After the initial shock, Zuo Shiji's eyes were full of doubts. In his current position, Zuo Shiji was thinking about completely different things than Zheng Wufeng.
Could it be that someone deliberately created a person with the same appearance to fish in troubled waters? But no one outside the immediate Zuo family knows the name Zuo Han. And even fewer people can see that photo...
"Get this person under control immediately." Zuo Shiji said decisively to Zheng Wufeng: "Don't even mention this person to the old man at all."
Zuo Shiji knew that the old man cared very much about his second grandfather, whom he had never met, and was afraid that he would be stimulated at this time and something might happen to him.
Just when he was about to instruct Zheng Wufeng to control Zuo Han and find out the truth, suddenly the ward door rang and a young nurse came out.
"Lao Zuo wants to see you."
Zuo Shiji felt annoyed because he had spoken too loudly just now. Subconsciously, Zuo Shiji put the photo in his pocket.
Zuo Shiji and Zheng Wufeng walked into the ward. Mr. Zuo was leaning on the bedside, holding a photo frame in his hand.
"Grandpa..." Zuo Shiji was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mr. Zuo waving his hand.
"I'm old, but I'm not deaf." Mr. Zuo stretched out his hand and said, "Photos."
Zuo Shiji hesitated for a moment, and under Zuo Lao's stern gaze, he reluctantly took out the photo from his pocket and handed it over, saying softly: "Grandpa, there are many people who look alike, so don't get too excited.
"
"My old bones won't die for a while!" Mr. Zuo snatched the photo, took out a pair of reading glasses and put them on, taking a closer look.
As he looked at it, his hands started to tremble, his eyes became a little moist, and he murmured: "It looks like, it looks so similar..."
"Grandpa." Zuo Shiji was a little anxious and quickly comforted him: "Calm down."
Zuo Lao raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, turned to Zheng Wufeng, and said calmly: "I want to know this person's situation."
"Yes, Chief!" Zheng Wufeng turned a blind eye to Zuo Shiji's eyes and reported in a sonorous and forceful manner: "Zuo Han, male, 21 years old, Chinese American. He entered the country at noon on May 6th and showed up at the 772 Hospital two hours later.
Because he stopped and looked at the building for a long time, he attracted the attention of our security personnel..."
Zheng Wufeng's report was very detailed, and Mr. Zuo listened very carefully. After listening, Mr. Zuo's eyes flashed, he took a long breath, and sighed: "He came to see me, an old man..."
"Grandpa." Zuo Shiji knew what Mr. Zuo was thinking and couldn't help but said: "I remember you said that the second grandpa is not married and has no woman he likes..."
"There are some things I haven't told you all." Mr. Zuo shook his head and said, "Back then, your second grandfather was a member of a gang and acted wildly. It's not surprising that he raised a woman behind his back."
Zuo Shiji's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and he wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Mr. Zuo.
"Shiji, I don't care what you think..." Zuo Lao stared at Zuo Shiji's eyes and said word by word:
