…
Su Lao's funeral was conducted according to the standards of a state funeral. Su Lao had requested this before his death, so after the state funeral ceremony, his ashes were finally scattered in the Yellow River.
At the funeral, Fang Zhicheng also saw many national leaders who he had only seen on TV news. He could feel that when those leaders looked at him, there was a hint of scrutiny in their eyes. Fang Zhicheng also saw Li Siyuan, who looked at him with a hint of encouragement and shook hands with him with extra strength.
It was a few days later when I finished everything.
In the morning, after Fang Zhicheng finished running, he returned to the courtyard and happened to see Su Jing. Su Jing was the daughter of his uncle, and the sister of Zhao Qingya's ex-boyfriend. She had been studying abroad and only came back because of Su Lao's funeral.
Su Jing called Fang Zhicheng and whispered, "Do you know that you look like someone?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I know, he looks like your biological brother."
Su Jing sighed and said, "I didn't expect there would be such a similar person in the world. When my mother saw you, she thought my brother was back..."
Fang Zhicheng could see the look in Dong Zhiqiu's eyes. He nodded and said softly, "But I am not him..."
Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "Cousin Zhicheng, I have something to ask of you, I hope you can agree to it."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Just tell me, as long as I can do it."
Su Jing said: "Spend time with my mother when you are free. Even though you are not him, it will make my mother feel better."
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly and said, "Okay, I will."
Su Jing showed her white and neat teeth and smiled: "Thank you in advance."
Fang Zhicheng smiled back, feeling warm in his heart.
It feels really good to have family. Even though Su Mo is still full of hostility towards me, and Su Mo's wife Lu Wen also treats me badly, the other people, such as Su Qing, Dong Zhiqiu, Su Lin, and Su Jing, all convey the same trust to me as family members.
Fang Zhicheng has been lonely for too long, especially after his adoptive mother passed away, he has been very lonely.
But in just a few days at the Su family, he felt the warmth brought by his family.
After breakfast, Fang Zhicheng went back to his room to pack his luggage. He had been in Yanjing for many days. He left in a hurry. Although he said hello to Xia Lanshan, the situation in Xiaguang District made Fang Zhicheng feel relieved. At the beginning, he was only isolated for one day, and Yu Jinping appeared inside.
There was a knock on the door. Fang Zhicheng looked up and saw that it was Su Qing. He called out, "Mom."
Su Qing smiled and nodded. Seeing Fang Zhicheng folding clothes and putting them into the suitcase, she asked softly, "Are you ready to go back to Hanzhou?"
Although he came empty-handed, after staying for a few days, Su Qing bought a lot of clothes for him. They were all Su Qing's gifts, so he naturally had to take them back. So Fang Zhicheng took the time to buy a suitcase.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and replied, "I have to go back. There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with."
Su Qing sighed and said, "Do you have any idea to transfer to Yanjing?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head decisively and smiled, "Mom, I know that you are under a lot of pressure because of my affairs. There are many rumors now, smearing your image. If I really go to Yanjing, won't it make you more stressed?"
Su Qing shook her head and smiled confidently, "Zhicheng, you underestimate your mother. Haven't you heard what others say about me? I am an iron lady, how can a little wind and rain knock me down?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "I heard from my third uncle that the situation is very serious now. The Organization Department has even conducted a special study on your problem."
Su Qing nodded, and said without hiding anything: "By exposing a few coordinates, the criticism has been suppressed. It's okay."
Fang Zhicheng knew that the truth was not as easy as Su Qing said.
Old Su left behind several important pawns in the Organization Department and the Propaganda Department. After years of development, they have already occupied key positions. Originally, their identities and factions were hidden, but in order to suppress the matter of Su Qing's illegitimate child, the identities of several people were made clear.
Once the coordinates of those hidden units were exposed, they would no longer be able to hide and would lose their ability to serve as a killer at a critical moment.
Fang Zhicheng put his things into the suitcase, thought for a while and finally asked: "Mom, I want to ask you something..."
Su Qing nodded and said, "Are you asking about your father?"
Fang Zhicheng secretly sighed that Su Qing was too smart, and nodded: "Yes..."
Su Qing sighed and said, "Zhicheng, I will tell you later, but not now. Please wait, okay?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that there must be something unspeakable, so he nodded and said, "If it is not appropriate to tell me, I will not ask again in the future."
Su Qing shook his head, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "I can tell you, but not now."
Fang Zhicheng didn't say anything else and walked out with his suitcase. At this time, Su Lin walked in from the door. Seeing Fang Zhicheng was about to leave, he quickly stopped him and said, "Zhicheng, why are you ready to leave?"
Su Qing pulled Su Lin and said, "Get out of the way, Zhicheng needs to go back to work..."
Su Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "There are many decades in life, and there is plenty of time to work. I promised you before that I would take you to Yanjing to have fun. You can't leave now, wouldn't that make me break my promise?"
In fact, Su Qing didn't want Fang Zhicheng to leave so soon. Seeing Su Lin stopping Fang Zhicheng, she took a step back with a smile on her face.
Before Fang Zhicheng could react, Su Lin had already snatched Fang Zhicheng's luggage and carried it into the house.
Fang Zhicheng could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly. Su Lin went out, put her hand on Fang Zhicheng's shoulder, and asked Su Qing with a smile: "Sister, I took your baby son out, is there any problem?"
Su Qing smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, but don't lead Zhicheng astray."
Su Lin respected Su Qing the most. He said seriously, "Sister, am I that kind of person? At most, I just took Zhicheng to climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, and feel the solemnity and grandeur of the capital."
