Chapter 954: Chapter 953: Stop Them Chapter 954: Chapter 953: Stop Them It was the first ti in twenty years that Huo Beijiang had made a public appearance, and at the ti, people still had so doubts about him.
They said nothing aloud, but in their hearts, they believed the old commander must have beco senile to place such importance on a grandson who grew up in the countryside.
Then ca the funeral of Colonel Huo Dongfeng. By that ti, Huo Beijiang had already taken over everything left behind by the old commander. His thods were swift and decisive, catching everyone off guard.
Today was the third funeral. This ti, he had made everyone wary of him.
Nobody dared to look at or think of him in the sa way as before.
After the burial ceremony concluded, Huo Beijiang personally carried the soil to cover the grave, then erected a pre-engraved tombstone. He did all this himself without anyone else’s help, not even Huo Linong, who just stood there, looking utterly devastated.
When all was done, an hour had already passed.
Huo Beijiang stood before the tombstone, leading a bow and offering fresh flowers. Others followed suit, stepping forward one by one to offer white or yellow chrysanthemums. As they passed Huo Linong, they offered words of comfort: “Please accept our condolences.”
When it ca to Huo Beijiang, they wanted to say sothing like condolences, but the words were swallowed before they could be spoken out loud. They didn’t know what would be more appropriate, and besides, a strong person like Huo Beijiang was unlikely to appreciate irrelevant words of comfort.
“They’re here!” Ning Di quietly approached Bei Jiang from behind and whispered, “They’ve already arrived at the foot of the hill. I’m afraid Ying Jiuming and his people won’t be able to stop them.”
Everyone knew the Imperial City Police Criminal Investigation Ninth Group was the worst, but they hadn’t expected it to be this bad. There were only a few mbers in the entire Ninth Group, and describing them as old, weak, sick, pregnant was an apt description.
One was an aged police officer waiting for retirent, who moved so gingerly as if afraid that any more activity would cause his bones to crumble. Another two were just out of the police academy, completely green with hardly any experience of even firing a weapon.
There was also a pregnant woman, who was only good enough to stay in the office and handle logistics. The only two who were sowhat competent couldn’t compare to those by Huo Beijiang’s side in terms of combat ability.
Ying Jiuming, after taking over the Ninth Group, imdiately regretted his decision, realizing he should not have listened to Huo Beijiang and allowed himself to be coaxed into it.
At this mont, Ying Jiuming was at the bottom of the hill with the only two capable mbers he had. Ning Di had just gone to inspect and imdiately scrapped the original plan to engage at the foot of the hill.
“Team Leader Ying only brought two officers; way too weak,” Ning Di, typically a man of few words and even fewer expressed emotions, could not help but show his disdain clearly.
“How many people did Leng Peixi bring?”
“Three in total, but all of them are experts.” The other two were unfamiliar faces with unclear backgrounds, but A Rong’s background had already been uncovered.
In the past, he worked as a rcenary, rich with combat experience, and the other two were definitely not far behind.
“Let them co up,” Huo Beijiang ordered, “If she wishes to enter the Huo Family’s ancestral burial grounds, then I shall accommodate her.”
Ning Di: “…”
Leng Peixi wanted to choose this place as her eternal resting ground as Huo Linong’s wife, not to die here right now.
Truthfully speaking, Leng Peixi may not necessarily want to settle here after her death. She rely felt that it belonged to her, and being the domineering and extre person she was, she did not allow others to take it away. Even if she did not want it, she would not allow it to be given to anyone else.
