Little Terrified Bun

n incomparably deep connection.

The room was dead silent.
A cold wind flew into the lobby through the open window, bringing chillness to the person inside.
Grandpa Lu had been sitting for a while.
His straight back became hunched, his face looked older, and his eyes looked troubled.
He was elderly, seventy-ish, nearing death.

“Hi, is this Commissioner Liu? Hello hello, I’m calling you today for my disappointing son.
Can you please make some accommodations? I still have a few bottles of superior red wine, I’ll deliver it to you……”

“Grandpa Lu, what are you saying? As a party member, it’s my obligation to serve citizens according to the law, no accommodations should be made…” the other person said in a righteous tone.

“Commissioner Liu…”

Not waiting for Grandpa Lu to finish, the other person interrupted, “I’m really sorry, I still have some things to do here.
Let’s reconnect some other time, some other time…”

Du du du sounded from the other side of the phone.
Grandpa Lu froze, having a bad premonition.
Gritting his teeth, he made a few more calls; the ones with good attitude made perfunctory replies while the ones with bad attitude simply didn’t answer the call at all.

This time, just before the other side was about to hang up the phone, Grandpa Lu immediately stopped him, “Hold on, I just want to ask, who’s….?” He asked euphemistically.

Silence.
The other person was hesitating.

Upon acknowledging the situation, Grandpa Lu gritted his teeth and followed up, “Even if I’m going to die, let me die knowing the truth.”

“I’m also not very clear.
It seems like it is the Wei family and the Ye family.
Both of them pressured us, and the top officials announced it long before.
I’m sorry…” As he finished his sentence, he quickly hung up the phone, as if he was scared that he would be mistakenly thought of as interfering with the Lu family.

The Lu family had meager power.
It couldn’t even suppress the Wei’s family, not even mentioning that the Ye family who was only slightly under the Wei family was also involved.
