I'll Send You Off! (Both Of You)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Chu Guozhong arrived at the hospital, he was already on the verge of death.

The doctors immediately raised the alarm.

The patient could die at any time!

"It's all your fault. You made him so angry!"

Chu Anfu blamed the two of them with a look of righteous indignation.

The second son, Chu Anlu, remained silent. He looked at the ward nervously. If the old man was really gone, what would happen to his debt?

The youngest daughter's ten fingers were interlaced together. She looked at the ward with a complicated expression.

In the ward,

Chu Guozhong, who was lying on the bed, had lost all his consciousness. To him, everything in the outside world seemed to have become illusory and blurred.

He squinted his eyes, as if a series of images appeared in his mind.

Those were the images of his life.

He was born in a remote mountain village. After his parents were killed by the Japanese, he left the village with the villagers who were fleeing.

He had been left wandering all the way. His family's hatred for his country made him resolutely join the team to save his country.

In the team, he met his comrades who had gone through life and death together and fought bravely on the front line. It was also in the team where he met her.

She was his comrade-in-arms and also his wife!

From meeting, to knowing, and then to loving each other.

The feelings between the two gradually warmed up, and they even swore together: they would drive all the invaders out, and the two of them would grow old together.

They did the former, but the latter, because of the difficult childbirth, cut their dream short.

The war was over, and all the comrades who fought for the country, including himself, received generous treatment and rewards!

Going to the imperial capital to work was undoubtedly a great opportunity for career development, and the future was boundless.

However, the two sons and one daughter who lost their mother still needed to be raised by him!

Thus, after a few twists and turns.

He gave up the chance to go to the imperial capital and stayed in the county town to raise his three children.

He had been selfless all his life. Even after the children grew up, he did not have the thought of finding another wife and chose to die alone.

His eldest son, Chu Anfu, was born with courage and intelligence. After graduating from university, he quickly found a job with a stable income. He could be considered to be doing quite well.

The second son, Chu Anlu, was very smart, but he was also arrogant. After making many mistakes, he chose to drop out of school to start a business. After being in business for so many years, he could be considered to be heavily in debt.

The youngest daughter, Chu Anxin, was much more honest. She married an engineer and gave birth to a boy. After that, she found a factory near her home to work. It was dull but stable.

The children had their own lives

Every year and festival, they would bring the little children home to visit and reunite.

Before the money came into their lives, Chu Guozhong was still enjoying the blessings of his old age.

However, after the blood-red words were written, the children transformed before his very eyes!

In the face of benefits, even flesh and blood stood no chance.

Each of them tried their best to coddle up to Chu Guozhong, wanting to claim the money for themselves. Even if Chu Guozhong wanted to divide it equally with them, they never once agreed. Each actually wanted to take the demolition money for themselves.

Facing the selfishness of his children, in the end, Chu Guozhong directly donated it all to charity.

It was also his last contribution to the country before he died, and he hoped that this money could be invested in the places that the country truly needed.

This was the last contribution of a veteran, giving his all to the country.

The long life passed in a hurry along with the flashing images in his mind

Chu Guozhong smiled bitterly in his heart and calmly closed his eyes.

This life came and went in a hurry.

It was as if he had done everything but did not have the time to do anything.

On his deathbed, he had spent 99 yuan to buy a funeral service. He could only imagine how it would be like.

...

The door of the emergency room opened.

A doctor walked out with a heavy expression and said helplessly to the three family members,

"We tried our best!"

His voice echoed in the corridor of the hospital that night.

"Dad!!"

Chu Anxin was the first to react. She rushed to the side of the hospital bed and looked at Chu Guozhong, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. Tears fell one after another.

Her two sons also hurried over.

They all felt remorse.

"Look at what you've done. You angered him to death!"

Chu Anfu scolded his younger brother and sister angrily.

"This... Father is gone. What about the money? Who should get it?"

Chu Anlu opened his mouth, but he still asked this question.

Chu Anxin, who was lying next to the hospital bed, immediately transformed. She stopped crying and said coldly,

"I won't give it to anyone! I've taken care of Dad for the longest time, so this money should be given to me!"

"Hmph!"

Chu Anfu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice,

"Dad is gone, and I'm the eldest son of the family. Of course, I'll be in charge of the money!"

...

As the three siblings argued in front of the old man's body, the doctors and nurses present shook their heads. How unfilial!

The attending doctor could not stand it any longer and interrupted,

"Have some decorum! That's your father! If there's anything, you can talk about it in the future!"

The three of them quickly fell silent.

After that, the doctor took out a bullet casing and handed it to Chu Anfu.

"We extracted this from his body. Other than this bullet, we found many more old wounds and bullet marks. Was he a war hero?"

When Chu Guozhong was sent here, he was still wearing an old-fashioned tattered military uniform and a military cap on his head.

"Not really. My dad did fight the Japanese before. He's just an ordinary veteran!"

Chu Anfu took the bullet casing that was wrapped in a sealed bag and said casually.

"If he was an old hero, would we still be in such a miserable state?"

Chu Anlu sighed at the side. He looked at the hospital bed again and asked,

"Didn't dad leave any will or belongings?"

Chu Anxin quickly searched Chu Guozhong's pockets and found a few pieces of cash. They were not even enough for a hundred yuan. As for bank cards, she came up short.

"Those who bled during the war and paid for it with their body, even if they were just ordinary veterans, deserve our respect!"

All the doctors and nurses in the resuscitation room bowed in silence for Chu Guozhong!

In their eyes, every veteran who participated in the shocking history of the past was a well-deserved hero!

They were worthy of respect!

"Hurry up and inform your relatives and friends!"

At that moment, the most important thing was to hold a funeral for Chu Guozhong.

They should put this man to rest as soon as possible.

Then, they would talk about inheritance and such.

...

On the other side,

Su Chen also received a message from the system.

The first mission's funeral target, Chu Guozhong, had passed away!

He quickly donned his black suit with a solemn expression, put on his sunglasses and earpiece, and held a black umbrella in his hand.

Even through the sunglasses, that suffocating gaze and pressure still burst out of his visage!

An aura burst out from his body, giving him a certain enigmatic, powerful appearance!

As he walked on the street, countless passers-by paid attention to him,

Whether it was an ordinary pedestrian, an ordinary car, or a million-dollar luxury car, all of them were attracted to him for a moment. The aura he emitted was daunting!

Su Chen's footsteps were steady as he walked towards the funeral.

Old Mister Chu, let me send you off!
