Mu Weicheng left his sister and sat opposite old president with a dark expression. He looked at his uncle who had instantly aged down.
old president laughed self-deprecatingly: "Are you afraid that I"m pretending to be sick?"
"What did the doctor say?" Mu Weicheng was able to tell that his complexion was very bad. It was the sickly pale color. He no longer had that high-spirited appearance.
old president shook his head while smiling: "I have finally reached the end of my life. The doctor"s diagnosis can last for at most half a year, or at least a month. That"s why I"m in such a hurry to recall you."
"It"s so serious. Why are you only telling us now?" Mu Weicheng looked excited. He was angry.
Every time I see you, I think of him. People are most afraid of parting from life to death, and my brother is pa.s.sing away in his prime. I have a responsibility, after all these years, I have taken care of you two siblings. old president could not help but sigh.
"I have never forgotten the kindness that you have shown to us siblings in raising you." Mu Weicheng lowered his eyes. When he mentioned his father, his expression was also very sorrowful.
"Zhengcheng, I"ll be frank with you. Ling Mofeng will definitely win the election and a.s.sume the position of the next president. You and him were close friends once, so I"m confident that I can make you take over his position. Are you interested?" old president finally opened his mouth and stared at his nephew, wanting to see his true appearance.
Mu Weicheng didn"t expect him to suddenly say this to him. Surprise flashed across his face. Then, he directly replied, "I"m not interested."
"I knew you would answer me in such a way. You have no will to fight, and your father will not rest in peace." old president sighed, he shook his head with a face full of regret.
Mu Weicheng"s body trembled, he did not answer him.
He told me to send you up, and let you continue the glory and pride of our Mu Family. Now that you have reached adulthood, you are talented, young and capable, and you are completely capable of sitting in this position, just like Ling Mofeng in the past. He is also respected at a young age, so do you think that you are inferior to him? old president couldn"t help but agitate him, hoping that he would be able to fight and not admit defeat.
Mu Weicheng raised his head and looked at his uncle. The hope in his eyes was so obvious and straightforward.
"Uncle, I"m sorry, but I don"t accept this arrangement. Although men of Mu Family will not admit defeat, there is no need to prove anything to anyone. I am already very satisfied with my current position." Mu Weicheng rejected indifferently without even thinking about it.
"Wei Cheng, are you going to disappoint me? You said just now that you owed me a debt of grat.i.tude, but you won"t forget that you want me to die with grievance, right? "Ling Mofeng destroyed my spirit, refuted my face, and completely suppressed me. I can"t endure this. If you still think of me as your uncle, then you should help me get back at him and let me leave in peace." old president"s face was filled with grief and indignation, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
"Uncle, I don"t understand. Is power really that important to you? If you don"t bring it with you, if you don"t bring it with you when you die, why can"t you be at ease? " "Mu Weicheng couldn"t help but refute his words, finding them laughable." I"m thinking for your juniors, don"t you understand? If I fall, our entire Mu Family will have to end with me, and you can rise to the top and glorify your profession. But don"t you forget, you are a person of the Mu Family, and you have the bloodline of the Mu Family on you, so do you not care about their life or death? You should be clear about who Ling Mofeng is, he doesn"t have room for corrupt things, sooner or later, he will have to settle the score with us, Mu Family. When that time comes, do you think he will let you go? " old president"s words stirred up. He felt that it was time to give this nephew of his a deep education. The responsibilities he had, the mission he had as a Mu Family man, all these were things that he couldn"t easily let go of. Uncle, I just want to ask you one thing, you have to tell me the truth. " Mu Weicheng did listen to his every word, but he also had something to ask.
"Go ahead." old president straightened his sleeves with a serious expression.
"Not long ago, Ling Mofeng went to the disaster area to pay his respects. You were the one who arranged the tragic shooting." Mu Weicheng stared at Qin Wentian as he asked directly.
old president"s expression changed greatly, a hint of anger appearing on his face: "What are you trying to say?"
"I don"t want to say anything, you know? The guns in the hands of those murderers were stolen from the military warehouse in my sector. Not long ago, someone was sent by the authorities to investigate this matter. Mu Weicheng said expressionlessly.
"What?" old president was instantly angered and his chest started to hurt: "Where did you get that gun from? Did Ling Mofeng get someone to check on you? "
"Uncle, you are the one who made a mistake. Let them investigate me with reason, I can"t deny that." Mu Weicheng laughed at himself.
"What does Ling Mofeng want?" old president was angered to the point that his face flushed red: "Could it be that he wants to use this matter to change your position?"
"He did not change my position. I only volunteered to stay for three months. During these three months, I will probably go to the military academy to be an instructor." Mu Weicheng said lightly, as if he didn"t realize how much he had lost face.
"You ?? "Are you trying to anger me to death? Do you find my life short enough?" old president almost couldn"t come up in one breath. He didn"t think that such a big thing would happen after a few days of rest. His nephew had been trained for investigation but he actually didn"t have the ability to protect him.
"Uncle, don"t be angry. Everything seems to be predestined. If you want to kill him, the gun will flow out from my side. If he doesn"t die, then we can only bear the guilt." Mu Weicheng shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was willing to accept all of this.
"You unfilial son." old president wanted to beat him up.
As for the Vice President, it"s the same for everyone else, but you can"t beat Ling Mofeng. If you get a vice president, then no matter what, he can"t take care of you. Mu Weicheng comforted old president with an open mind.
"You are in cahoots with Ling Mofeng? I want to die from your anger. " old president"s current expression was extremely ugly, and even extremely disappointed.
Mu Weicheng walked over and knelt in front of him, with his head lowered, he had a look of being trained: "Uncle, if you want to beat me or scold me, I will accept it." Mu Weicheng walked over, knelt in front of him, with his head lowered, with a look of being trained: "Uncle, if you want to beat me or scolded me, I will accept it.
"What crime have I committed? I am only trying to maintain my balance. You brat, get up and quickly leave. I don"t want to see you. " old president raised his hand to hit him, but his hand froze in mid air and he was unable to continue.
"Uncle, the only thing I can guarantee is that I will not interact with any members of the Ling Family in this lifetime. I hope you won"t be angry with me." Mu Weicheng was aware that he was not filial, and even though he knew that his uncle was sick, he still angered him. Thus, he could only make a promise to old president.
"Do you want to give up your current position?" old president was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"No, male is male. I don"t have a personal relations.h.i.+p with Ling Mofeng anymore." Mu Weicheng lowered his head and said.
old president leaned back in his chair and said bitterly, "Yes, I forgot. I forgot that your relations.h.i.+p was very good at that time, and I was the one who destroyed your friends.h.i.+p, but the reality is too cruel, and there is too much helplessness. Fine, Ling Mofeng, you don"t have to be friends with him anymore, just break it."
"Uncle, are you alright?" "Your face is a bit ugly." Mu Weicheng was worried about him.
"You are determined not to inherit my will, but it"s a pity that I don"t have a son. If there is, I will force him to walk down my path. You are my younger brother"s son, I won"t force you. old president calculated for the rest of his life, but in the end, he discovered that he could not be considered the arrangement of fate.
"Then I"ll go down first. I"ll have Little Yun accompany you." Mu Weicheng did not dare to continue staying as he was afraid that his big uncle would be angered to the point of fainting.
Mu Yun was standing in the living room downstairs, nervously wringing her hands. Her beautiful eyes were looking at the stairs from time to time.
His eldest brother and eldest uncle had been at loggerheads before, and now that they were talking about official matters, he was afraid that they would start a fight again.
"Brother, how is uncle?" Have you finished talking? " Mu Yun asked as she walked over quickly.
"Why don"t you go up and accompany him? He likes to hear you talk." Mu Weicheng was counting on his sister.
"Alright, I"ll bring a cup of water up." Mu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around, carrying a gla.s.s of water with her, and headed up the stairs.
