Chapter 432 Death and Rebirth

The lights in the Bao family's mansion were on all night, and his wife, son and daughter were all watching in the hall downstairs, not daring to leave.

Waiting until eight o'clock in the morning, Zheng Weijian came down from upstairs and told everyone about his grandfather's physical condition.

Medication has completely lost its effect, and grandpa’s body can no longer support surgery and chemotherapy.

As doctors, there is very little they can do now, and I hope everyone will be mentally prepared for the worst.

Zheng Weijian also gave a suggestion to immediately transfer to Queen Mary Hospital down the mountain. There are more professional medical equipment there. It may be possible to prolong life for a few more days, but it is also possible to lose consciousness on the way.

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to give an accurate answer because no one dared to bear this responsibility.

Zheng Yaoyang stood up and asked proactively: "Is grandpa still conscious?"

Zheng Weijian looked complicated and said truthfully: "It was good and bad. He was still in a coma before I went downstairs."

As a father, he didn't want Zheng Yaoyang to make this decision, but he couldn't stop it.

Because since last year’s New Year’s Eve, Zheng Yaoyang has been recognized by everyone as the next speaker of the Bao family.

Now it can only be him, and only he can make this decision. No one will have any objections, and there will be no resentment afterwards.

Zheng Yaoyang pondered for a moment: "Dad, please pay attention to grandpa's physical condition at all times and let us know as soon as grandpa regains consciousness."

Then he turned to look at everyone: "Everyone, if grandpa can still regain consciousness, aunt and uncle, please go up and talk to grandpa later."

He believed that instead of going to the hospital to die for several days and having to bear the uncertain risks on the road, his grandfather would have preferred to die at home, surrounded by his family.

Based on what Zheng Weijian informed, Zheng Yaoyang began to arrange the visiting time for each family. The four families were arranged from largest to smallest, and it was best not to exceed five minutes for each family.

Try not to overwork your grandpa as much as possible, and let him spend the last period of his life in peace and contentment.

It's just that sometimes plans can't keep up with changes. At around ten o'clock in the morning, grandpa regained consciousness.

Zheng Yaoyang asked his eldest uncle and his family to go up to visit his grandfather. If grandpa's condition was still good, he would let his second uncle and his family come in later.

But after a while, Zheng Weijian hurriedly went downstairs and told his grandfather to unplug the testing equipment and planned to have someone push him out for a walk.

Zheng Yaoyang heard about it and came to the room on the second floor, which was temporarily converted into a city ward. His grandfather was very weak and spoke intermittently: "I want to go out and take a look, okay?"

Zheng Yaoyang almost did not hesitate and asked his father to help prepare the wheelchair: "Where do you want to go, I will take you there."

My grandfather had a wonderful life. He was born in troubled times, experienced war and fled, and finally came to Xiangjiang, where he sailed on the sea for most of his life and was known as the Sea Dragon King.

He is a very proud man. If he had a choice, he would have chosen to die the moment he could not get off the ground, instead of lying on the bed in agony and watching his life come to an end.

"Let's go to the back mountain."

"good."

Zheng Yaoyang helped his grandfather remove the testing equipment from his chest and wrist, but he still kept a portable ventilator to keep their lives alive as long as possible.

Several people carefully lifted him into a wheelchair and covered him with a blanket to protect him from the wind.

When they came downstairs, everyone saw their grandfather leaving the ward in a wheelchair, and everyone looked nervous.

The second aunt directly scolded: "Yaoyang, what are you doing? Do you know grandpa's current physical condition?"

Before Zheng Yaoyang spoke, his grandfather waved him to him to talk to him, and then he relayed: "I have said everything that needs to be said. There is nothing to explain. If you are interested, please come with me for a walk. I haven't had a family for a long time."

People went out for a walk together."

Zheng Yaoyang pushed his grandfather and left Bao's house.

Next to him were two doctors holding ventilators, and the people in the fourth room were silently following behind him.

Starting from the front yard of Bao's house, after walking a few hundred meters, more and more people followed my grandfather.

The Bao family lives in a villa area in Taipingshan, and the roads here are normally not open to the public.

People living nearby are all well-known wealthy people in Hong Kong. For example, Li Jiacheng lives at No. 14 Taipingshan, Li Zhaoji lives at No. 23, and Zheng Yutong lives at No. 26.

There are more than 20 sons and daughters of the four heads of the Bao family. They are walking on the mountain road that is not open to the public, and they easily attract the attention of others.

We learned through word of mouth that Bao Yugang's life was coming to an end, and friends and acquaintances in the business community spontaneously came over to see him off.

No one in the team of hundreds of people spoke, there was only the sound of irregular footsteps and the sound of falling leaves in the wind.

Zheng Yaoyang pushed his wheelchair half way around Victoria Peak and came to the best viewing platform on the back hill. He could see half of Central and the entire Victoria Harbor in his sights.

Grandpa looked at most of Xiangjiang Island down the mountain with a smile on his face: "The sea has changed over the past few decades. When my father and I came to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang at that time was not as prosperous as it is today..."

He slowly talked about the past, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and getting weaker and weaker, until he closed his eyes...

On the morning of September 23, 1991,

Bao Yugang died of illness in Hong Kong at the age of 73.

Once the news was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the world.

On the day of the funeral, many important people came. Li Zhaoji, Li Jiacheng and Zheng Yutong could only stand in the second row of Fuling.

Bao Yugang's death marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.

The main reason is that the funeral ceremony is not for the deceased, but for the people who are still alive.

The guests attending the funeral this time often looked at the person presiding over the funeral.

With an excessively young face, his grandson Zheng Yaoyang will become the leader of this new era.

…………

Half a month had passed since the funeral. Bao Yugang had the foresight to explain his posthumous affairs early and evenly distributed his wealth.

There was no drama about the four sons-in-law fighting for the family property, and the excitement among the people gradually dissipated. However, people occasionally remembered that day, the strong lineup of people supporting the funeral, a businessman, comparable to a country's political leaders.

Zheng Yaoyang also disappeared from the public eye again, but unlike before, people are now used to it.

Because professional commentators informed the public of Zheng Yaoyang's true intention of disappearing in the past year, he wrote thousands of words of articles.

To sum it up in one sentence, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Zheng Yaoyang also began to shift from the bright to the dark.

With Zheng Yaoyang's current strength, even if he wants to acquire a certain company, he doesn't have to step forward himself.

Because as long as you don't fight, you won't lose.

As long as he maintains his record, he will be a living legend and has never failed in his business venture so far.

It has never been done before, and it will be difficult for anyone to do it in the future.

I have to say, this approach is very smart.

In mid-October, Zheng Yaoyang looked nervous and quickly drove to Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong.

Half an hour ago, Zhou Xiaolin entered the delivery room.

Having once experienced giving birth, Zheng Yaoyang shouldn't be nervous, but he couldn't help but pace at the door of the delivery room.

Zhou Xiaolin was just 37 weeks pregnant, but she entered the delivery room one week ahead of her expected date of delivery, standing between the red line between premature babies and full-term babies.

The doctor kept reassuring that as long as the baby was 37 weeks old, it was not considered premature, but he did not dare to give an accurate answer, which made Zheng Yaoyang upset the hospital.

Bao Peihui comforted her softly: "Don't be nervous. If there is no news in the first half hour, it is good news."

She has given birth twice. If the baby is in an abnormal position or has symptoms of heavy bleeding, the doctor will recommend a caesarean section or observation as soon as she enters the delivery room.

An hour has passed and the door to the delivery room has been closed, indicating that the situation is still relatively optimistic.

Zheng Yaoyang asked: "Really?"

"Nicai is pregnant, aren't you here?"

"I'm with you, but I didn't think much about it at all."

"Is she still in Xiangjiang?"

"She left after grandpa's funeral."

It was probably on the day of the funeral that Akina Nakamori saw the pregnant Zhou Xiaolin, still standing in the row with her family.

But she could only stand in the guest seat, so after the funeral, she took her two daughters back to Tokyo.

But before leaving, Pang Cai told Zheng Yaoyang that he must go to Tokyo to see her whenever he has time.

The main reason why she doesn't want to stay in Xiangjiang is because Zheng Yaoyang doesn't belong to her alone in Xiangjiang.

Their home in Tokyo is their home.

When Bao Peihui heard this, she couldn't help but glared: "Sometimes I really don't want to care about your nonsense."

"As long as Xiaolin and Cai Cai are there, no more. I really don't care if there are more. You can handle it yourself."

Zheng Yaoyang laughed a few times, quietly put his arm around his mother's shoulders, rolled his eyes, briefly thought about his words, and begged, "Can I give you another place?"

"What?"

Bao Peihui opened her eyes wide, her voice suddenly rose, and she couldn't help but slap Zheng Yaoyang on the arm: "Don't tell me, you have a pregnant woman outside?"

"I think it should be."
