Iron Bull Legend

Moreover, with this opportunity, Tie Niu wanted to pull out as many hidden enemy spies as possible. He would always feel uncomfortable and sleep uneasy if he didn't pull out the enemy behind the scenes. How could he let others sleep peacefully on the bed? Isn't this an eye-watering thing? He didn't have the inclination or hobby to suffer.

The funeral committee has already made the final decision, so naturally, no one else has anything to say. The reason is that no one wants to waste time here for a dead person. Mr. Guo is just a quack doctor, and Tie Niu is just a small mayor.

Although everyone seemed to be very sad, they were just pretending to be so for others to see, especially for Tie Niu and Mr. Guo. Now, after the person died, the human relationship has come to an end. Who would fulfill the previous promise for a dead person?

Tie Niu has finished dealing with his matters. After saying goodbye to everyone, he went straight back to a room next door where there was a landline phone. Tie Niu wanted to contact the people in the mysterious department. Now was also the best time to focus on monitoring some people.

"Fifth brother, this is Tie Niu. You haven't rested yet, have you?" The moment Tie Niu answered the phone, he heard a rustling sound from the other end of the line. He knew that Xu Wu on the other end must be exercising with his sister-in-law, working on the great project of creating a baby.

"You kid finally think about me, your useless fifth brother. When will you be back?" Xu Wu expressed his dissatisfaction to Tie Niu sourly. He also complained to Tie Niu that his great-grandfather had already moved to Tie Niu's compound and abandoned his nephew.

"Look at what Fifth Brother said. I just rushed back today. Now something happened at home, so I quickly called Fifth Brother to come and help." Tie Niu was slightly stunned. He couldn't think of how he had offended this powerful Executive Vice Minister. It seemed that he would need to contact him more often and say hello in the future.

"What happened at home? I'll be there right away. Tell me first so I can be mentally prepared." Xu Wu said as he quickly put on his clothes. The clinking sound over there was obviously very chaotic, which also showed that Xu Wu was concerned about Tie Niu's affairs.

"Fifth brother, you don't have to come over. I have something to tell you. Grandpa Tong passed away, and the funeral will be held in the next few days. His old friends will come to pay their respects. Therefore, some people need to be monitored. I would like you to arrange some people to take care of these key people." Tie Niu explained softly.

"Why? Did you get sick as soon as you came back? That's an old friend of your grandfather's master. Are you doing this to make Mr. Tong die in uneasiness?" Xu Wu got furious. After all, she also knew the relationship between Mr. Tong and Mr. Guo.

"Fifth brother, it's enough for you and I to know about this matter. Remember, this is top secret. I will tell you the real reason for some things after this matter is over. Just follow my arrangements and register and monitor Mr. Tong's friends and some close people who come to pay their respects. Don't ask anything else." Tie Niu knew that now was not the time to tell Xu Wu the truth.

"Okay, I know you're not going to do anything without a purpose, I'll arrange this right away."

"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother. I have no choice but to ask for your help. I will visit you in a few days. I also brought you a gift this time. I haven't forgotten my roots. I always keep the Party's teachings in mind," Tie Niu chuckled.

"You still have a conscience, wait a minute, I'll be there now."

"Fifth brother, you'd better come tomorrow and finish your business first, then come here openly tomorrow. If you come here today, your identity will arouse other people's suspicion. Also, the obituary will be sent out tonight." Tie Niu said this to give Xu Wu a hint. After all, his identity is really sensitive.

He is the executive vice minister of the ministry and can be said to be a popular figure in the current situation. If he comes here, it will cause a sensation. It is not like before when he could come quietly and have a drink, eat, and do whatever he wants with everyone. His identity has brought him many taboos.

Even if Tie Niu wanted to meet Xu Wu now, he had to avoid it. He is still the mayor of a lower province or city. If he had too much contact with Xu Wu's department, he would be suspected of trying to find out something. Therefore, as their official positions continued to rise, their identities became more sensitive and they lacked freedom.

"Well, being a low-ranking official really puts me in a tight spot. I can't do this or that. Even having a drink with friends on the street is impossible. Not to mention anything else, the guards or secretaries around me will remind me to be careful of my identity. Does it mean that when an official gets a little too high, he is no longer suitable for his status? Can't he be down-to-earth?" Xu Wu complained, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Fifth brother, sometimes you really need to avoid it. This kind of occasion is semi-official. Your current identity is really not suitable for appearing in private occasions. If you come to pay your respects openly tomorrow, no one will say anything. Let's talk about it when we meet, okay?"

"Well, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've had a lot of things to say to you, but, alas, you've been missing day by day. Just tell me why you're busier than the leader? Are you really aiming for the position under the leader?" Xu Wu joked.

"Fifth brother, please don't say that again. If you get caught, you will be charged with a crime. Actually, I am aiming for the position above me. I am going to leave the position of the chief to you. From now on, we can drink wine together and discuss national affairs. If you want to beat someone, just wave your hand and do it. We will never be scared. It will feel great."

"Hey, hey, did you just wake up or are you daydreaming? Did you drink too much last night?"

"Aren't I just following your wishes? Just tell me how disappointed you will be if I don't cooperate with you, and say that I am unkind and don't understand the ways of the world," Tie Niu teased Xu Wu.

"Alright, you're just not making sense. I'm going to go to the department and call them to arrange for the staff to arrive. It'll take me half an hour. I won't be able to sleep tonight. I don't know if it's a good thing that I know you or if I owed you in my last life."

"Fifth brother, I'll be keeping vigil for Grandpa Tong tonight. Why don't you come over and chat with Grandpa Tong? I'll cook two dishes and give you some drinks," Tie Niu said in a very sarcastic tone.

"Get lost! You should enjoy this great opportunity slowly. However, please wear more clothes at night. It's still very cold in the capital at night. The temperature is not high recently." Xu Wu cursed but still kindly reminded Tie Niu to put on more clothes. This is the relationship between brothers.

"Okay, don't worry about this, Brother Wu. It will take three days before the burial. During these three days, many people will definitely come, including many old and new friends."

Tie Niu felt that his life was too miserable. He had just rushed back from Shaulababa and wanted to spend a few days with Xiaocao. However, the passing of Old Man Tong completely disrupted his plans and made him busy again. It must be said that this old man really knew how to make trouble.

After hanging up the phone, Tie Niu hurried to the mourning hall, because Mr. Guo who had received the news or Mr. Tong’s friends or patients he had treated in the past had already come to pay their respects, and they came to walk around at night when there were few people around.

Tie Niu had just stood in front of the mourning shed when a middle-aged man came over supporting a white-haired old man in his seventies. The old man quickly ran into the house and asked the people from the funeral committee to come and entertain them. Even the old man didn't recognize some of them.

"Alas, why did Master Tong leave so quietly? I was thinking of inviting him to my house for a few drinks, but he didn't even give me the chance to repay me?" The white-haired old man stood in front of the coffin and kept muttering to himself. Tie Niu didn't know what the relationship between him and Master Tong was, so he could only silently remember his face and the middle-aged man beside him.

After all, the people who came here might be real Chinese people who had received favors from Mr. Tong in the past. It is human nature for them to come here to pay their respects after receiving the news. It is impossible to generalize everyone with one blow. His case is just that he did something wrong.

If they were really Japanese agents, Tie Niu would never approach them. The reason why Tie Niu did this was to find a needle in a haystack. Catching a big fish would also be a gain. Now, he didn't want those spies to hide in the dark and stab China.

No matter whether it is small fish or shrimp, as long as we catch three or two cats, we will try our best to reduce the number of enemies. By now, many enemies have been hiding in the dark and are very cautious. We will not give them the chance to catch them. This is also to create opportunities for ourselves, so how can we miss it.

"Please accept my condolences, Brother Wu. The old man passed away peacefully. He didn't suffer at all. It's probably because of his old age." When Mr. Guo came over, he stood quietly beside the old man and whispered in a low voice, with tears dripping from his eyes again. It was obvious that he was an old friend who came to pay his respects.

"Well, I knew it. It's only been a short time since we last met. I was careless. He wasn't feeling well recently, so the kids weren't allowed to go out. It was only after Xiao Sanzi heard about it from his colleagues at the municipal government that he rushed home to tell me the news. That's when I had the chance to come and see him for the last time."

"This matter is also very urgent. Three days ago, the old man felt unwell and lay in bed without eating or drinking. We expected this, but we didn't expect that he would pass away in just a few days."

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are all things that need our condolences. However, Mr. Tong passed away peacefully. It can be regarded as a result of his good deeds throughout his life and he did not suffer any pain. We are also relieved."

"Yes, the old man has been running around for many years to relieve the pain of countless patients. He also enjoys talking about it and often mentions who he has relieved pain for. He also passed on his valuable experience to us, his disciples and grandchildren. But who would have thought that he would be so happy and caught us off guard."

"Please accept my condolences. There is nothing we can do about it. We didn't expect him to pass away so soon. I was just thinking about going to have a drink with him and talk to him, but he just left like that..."
