May 12th, light rain.

The memorial service for the old leader was held in the Changshou Garden Mausoleum Hall, and the old leader's portrait was placed in the front center of the hall.

All the well-known leaders of the military region have come.

At this time, the sun was rising, and the golden sunlight turned into golden silk threads that densely entangled everyone in the hall.

The people who came in and out to pay their respects were all more or less attracted by the man and woman standing on one side.

The man was tall, with handsome features and a cold temperament. He was wearing a black suit and a black veil wrapped around his left arm. His eyes were always on the girl beside him.

The girl was in her early twenties, wearing a long black dress, standing next to the man, she was very small, with long dark hair braided into a pigtail with a white flower on one side, adding a solemn touch to her gorgeous appearance.

The corners of her eyes were red, and her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her fair face.

The host took the microphone and paid tribute to the old leader:

"The old leader dedicated his life to the country and the people. When he was young, he resolutely left his hometown and became a glorious soldier to defend his country. According to incomplete statistics, the old leader was shot seven times and struggled on the line of life and death several times, leaving him with injuries. Later, he should have retired and enjoyed his old age, but because of the needs of the country, he resolutely took on the heavy responsibility..."

The old leader's voice, appearance and smile kept appearing in front of Ye Rou along with the host's voice.

She listened in silence, feeling heartbroken.

The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were red, and now they were soaked again, wet and bright red, like a red rose that had been rotten to the extreme.

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and brushed the corner of her eyes, then he put his big hand around the woman's slender waist and pressed her into his arms.

Ye Rou wanted to cry in the first place, and being embraced by a familiar embrace made her feel even more sad.

She buried herself in Jiang Chen's arms and suddenly heard a very faint and harsh curse.

"Immortal thing."

In the silent and solemn atmosphere, the curses, which were almost whispered, were particularly harsh.

Ye Rou raised her head suddenly, like an alert little animal, searching for everyone on the field.

Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong with her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ye Rou's eyes shot towards the direction where the sound came from like a sharp sword.

"Someone is scolding the old chief."

Jiang Chen followed Ye Rou's gaze.

The three commanders of the military region stood at the front. Li Weijun had a solemn expression and listened attentively to the condolences.

Liang Yushan was much thinner than before, and he would lower his head and cough from time to time.

Ji Zhong, who was standing beside the two of them, had a ruddy complexion and was not listening attentively, with annoyance evident in his eyes.

Ye Rou's gaze was too scorching, Ji Zhong seemed to notice it and turned his head to look over.

The girl, who was in her early twenties, was wearing a black dress and had narrowed eyes. She looked at him with an unfriendly look.

When he saw Ye Rou, Ji Zhong thought of his granddaughter An Ning who was sent away for no reason.

Without this devilish girl, An Ning would not have been sent away by Liang Yushan, and Liang Yushan would not have escaped from his control, causing everyone in the military district to laugh at the two families.

Being glared at unkindly by Ye Rou, Ji Zhong's face turned cold. He didn't get angry, but he still remembered her in his heart.

Now that the old man is dead, there is no one to protect her. In three days, when the candidate for leader is announced, the good days of this little girl will be over.

When Ji Zhong thought of this, his mood improved a lot. No matter how impatient he was, he could pretend to be sad when looking at the old man's coffin.

This old immortal thing lived for so many years before dying.

Ji Zhongqiang's pretended sadness was so fake that Ye Rou saw through it at a glance.

Her eyes turned cold and she decided to teach Ji Zhong a lesson.

Ye Rou opened the system reward backpack and found the blue reward - Bad Luck Card (valid for 24 hours).

This card was the reward she got from eating the melons of Zhu Bingying and her three teammates.

She originally wanted to use it on Zhou Quan, but later she felt it was not worth it and stopped using it.

It’s just right for Ji Zhong to use.

Ye Rou no longer hesitated, silently recited Ji Zhong's name, and moved her fingertips.

The blue light wave, invisible to everyone, rushed towards Ji Zhong and disappeared into his body.

Ye Rou looked at him with a cold face.

Ji Zhong suddenly felt the temperature of his body drop sharply. He hugged his arms and shivered subconsciously.

Why is it so cold suddenly?
