At this point, everyone who had participated in the meeting had arrived.
Zhang Zhenghuai and company represented Hibiscus City. This was where Su Yun lived, worked, and studied. It belonged to his second hometown.
Fan City Hall’s leader, Wu Enze, represented Su Yun’s ancestral hometown,
Fan City.
Xu Jiajia and Su Guowei were Su Yun’s relatives and friends.
Professor Sun and the others represented the cultural relics and archeology world that was indebted to Su Yun.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was very oppressive. Everyone’s faces were filled with gloom.
This was the first time these people had gathered because of Su Yun after the search and rescue operation had completely ended and they had given up. They were here to send him to his funeral.
If Zhang Zhenghuai had not broken the silence first, the atmosphere would have become more and more suffocating.
“Everyone, everyone must be in a very heavy mood sitting here today. Su Yun was still so young, but he had used his shoulders to shoulder the righteousness of the country. He was undoubtedly a hero. I know how you feel. I feel the same way as you. However, we still have to continue forward. Only then can we not let down what Su Yun has done for us. And this funeral was the only thing we could do for Su Yun. Let the hero rest in peace!”
Zhang Zhenghuai!s voice was very heavy. Xu Jiajia’s eyes were red as she buried her face in the white monkey’s fur. Even now, she was still unwilling to face this fact. The white monkey also kept making soft sounds in its throat, sounding like it was calling out to Su Yun.
“Everyone, I represent Fan City to make a statement. Our Fan City units will fully support Su Yun’s funeral. Moreover, our mayor has also expressed that he will personally attend Su Yun’s funeral to send off the hero,” Wu Enze looked at everyone and expressed his stance. This made Zhang Zhenghuai nod.
“Considering that Fan City is Su Yun’s hometown, I think it’s best to hold this funeral in Fan City. China pays attention to returning to their roots. The hero should be able to return home.’
“No problem!” Wu Enze nodded. Then, he handed a document to the people present. “This funeral can be held on Lingshui Mountain. Lingshui Mountain is of the same lineage as Shengu Mountain. If a hero builds a cenotaph there, it can let the hero go home and let the people pay their respects.”
Everyone looked at the few photos in the document in front of them. Lingshui Mountain was indeed a good place with beautiful scenery.
Zhang Zhenghuai looked at Su Guowei and said, “Comrade, you are Su Yun’s father. We can only give some suggestions on the location. In the end, it will still be up to you to decide. If there’s no problem with Lingshui Mountain, then let’s arrange the funeral here?”
Xu Kui also looked at Su Guowei and said, “Comrade Mountain Condor, the higher-ups have been discussing Su Yun. Commander Feng and I have already reported Su Yun’s deeds to the higher-ups. It’s very likely that we will add a title to Su Yun in the future. However, this kind of thing needs time. In my opinion, this Lingshui Mountain is the best choice. What do you think?”
After a moment of silence, Su Guowei finally nodded with difficulty. In that instant, Su Guowei realized that Su Yun was getting further and further away from him and would never return. “Thank you, leaders. In that case, I have no objections.” Saying these words seemed to have sucked away all the strength in Su Guowei’s body. Then, he looked much more dispirited.
“In that case, let’s schedule the funeral in three days. As what Su Yun did was rather special and his identity was rather sensitive, Therefore, I suggest that not too many people attend this funeral. After this funeral, when everything is finalized and Su Yun’s identity can be completely exposed and his deeds made public, let people mourn for Su Yun.”
Zhou Nanhai was more cautious, so his suggestion was quickly approved by everyone present.
At the funeral three days later, the people who attended the meeting were all present. According to Zhou Nanhai and Zhang Zhenghuai’s thoughts, Su Yun’s identity and deeds would definitely be made public after the funeral.
At that time, as a hero, Su Yun would definitely welcome the memorial of the crowd who knew the truth. Therefore, this funeral was equivalent to them specially arranging for Su Yun. There was not much of a commotion, but everyone who was concerned about Su Yun sent him off. This also showed how much importance Zhou Nanhai and company placed on Su Yun. The hero had passed away, so they should not be disturbed.
The meeting continued. Everyone was finalizing the details of the funeral.
The atmosphere in the conference room was very oppressive. In the end, Zhou Nanhai and Zhang Zhenghuai even had to go to the corridor to smoke to calm down. The two of them stood by the window and lit cigarettes, but they did not speak for a long time. They were all immersed in depression and found it difficult to break free.
“After the funeral, the higher-ups’ arrangements should be issued. Su Yun’s identity and deeds will be completely exposed. His heroic deeds will be spread by word of mouth. Su Yun used his life to illuminate a tragic story.”
Zhang Zhenghuai looked through the window at the traffic on the street. The sunlight shone on every passerby, making them look so peaceful. There was no such thing as peaceful times. It was just that someone was carrying the burden for them..
