Chapter 504 – Rest in Peace, Comrade Dong Xuebing! (1/2)

Before noon.

Inside of the crematorium memorial hall.

Above the black and white photograph of Dong Xuebing is a black banner with white characters. “In remembrance of Dong Xuebing.” The coffin surrounded by flowers does not have a body. Instead, some of his personal belongings were placed inside, and the host, Su Jia, is giving a eulogy in tears. In front of her are Dong Xuebing’s friends and colleagues. His mother and family members, including Xie Huilan, were standing on the relative side.

Almost 100 people were attending this memorial service.

The atmosphere is solemn, and many people are weeping.

Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, and a few others from the Investment Promotion Agency were sobbing. Liu Dahai, Deputy Team Leader Feng, and other guys’ eyes were all red.

No one had expected Chief Xiao Dong to pass away like this, and his body cannot be recovered.

Chief Dong was only 24 years old and is at the peak of his life. But he is gone just like this.

It’s been more than a dozen days since the crash, and everyone accepted it. When they heard of the crash, most of them know the chances of him surviving is slim. They know no one can survive after the plane exploded upon impact on the coral reef rock. Luan Xiaoping had cried countless times and knew why Xiao Bing asked her to take care of herself in that phone call.

Luan Xiaoping doesn’t believe her son is dead, and Huilan and Yunxuan kept consoling her that Xiao Bing will be back.

But one day passed….

Two days passed….

Ten days passed….

The plane had crashed into the coral rocks, exploded, and everyone on board was dead. Luan Xiaoping finally caved in and accepted it.

Her son is dead.

He is dead.

Luan Xiaoping covered her mouth as her tears roll down her face.

Xie Huilan held her arms. “Auntie…”

Luan Xiaoping cried. “Xiao Bing… my Xiao Bing…”

“Cousin… sob… sob….” Tang Jin and Dong Xuebing’s second aunt were also wiping their tears.

Suddenly, Yu Qianqian could not hold back and cry out loudly. “Uncle! Sob…. Sob… Uncle!”

Yu Meixia sobbed as she hugged her daughter. Her face is covered in tears, and she had lost count of how many times she cried in the last two weeks.

The crying spreads and affected more people. Xie Jing, and Xie Hao, who had rushed over from Beijing this morning, wiped their tears. Luo Haiting, Guo Panwei, and other staff from the Investment Promotion Agency, Deputy Party Secretary Cao Xupeng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Huang Li, Deputy Mayor Geng Yuchao, Mayor’s Secretary Hu Silian, and many others, sighed and wiped their tears. Even Su Jia, could not continue. She held the microphone and sobbed.

It had become more solemn.

But Xie Huilan did not cry. She stood there emotionlessly.

Hu Silian noticed her and is worried. Everyone knows Dong Xuebing is Xie Huilan’s boyfriend, and his passing is a severe blow to her. But she did not cry or show any emotions and had made lots of mistakes at work these few days. Hu Silian saw her return to Dong Xuebing’s apartment after work every day and leave in the morning. It’s been almost two weeks since she had proper rest and food.

Many people are sad over Dong Xuebing’s passing.

But some are happy.
