Chapter 148 Sudden Meeting, Zheng's Father: Something Happened at Home?

What happens to a person after they die and are pushed into the crematorium?

Who knows.

Zheng Jie has never been burned himself.

The moment one sees the flames inside the crematorium, a person is about to disappear completely from this world.

"Communicate with the Prison later; I want to meet with him this afternoon."

The Prison?

The secretary understood. Although Zheng Jie did not explicitly name the person, he knew it was Father Zheng.

"Yes."

Currently, Father Zheng did not know the news of Mrs. Zheng's passing. Zheng Jie definitely needed to go over there to tell him the news. Otherwise, if he couldn't see the other party's expression, Zheng Jie would feel it was too much of a pity. Hearing this, the secretary nodded.

"Alright."

After receiving the message, the secretary walked out. Immediately, he dialed the number for the Prison. Strictly speaking, it was not visiting time, and the Prison would not agree. However, this kind of thing depends on who is asking. If it were Zheng Jie, the other party would undoubtedly agree without hesitation.

"No problem, we will tell him immediately. What time in the afternoon would be suitable for you?"

"Four o'clock in the afternoon."

The secretary knew that Zheng Jie had time at four o'clock in the afternoon, so in this situation, it had to be based on Zheng Jie's schedule.

"No problem."

After ending the call, the secretary took a deep breath and walked inside. At this moment, the cremation of the body had not yet finished.

"Boss, I have communicated with them. You have an online meeting from 2:00 to 3:30 PM, so I scheduled it for 4:00 PM. Is that alright?"

"That's fine."

Zheng Jie nodded. As for the time, he did not mind; any time would work.

On the other side, after the Prison staff received the news, they went to where the prisoners worked. That's right, going to the Prison doesn't mean you don't have to do anything. In fact, you have to work in the Prison and earn money through work. This money can be used to buy items in the Prison supermarket, which can be considered improving one's life.

Of course, there aren't many things in the Prison supermarket; you can only buy things like instant noodles and ham sausages, and the prices are normal. This is only because it is strictly managed now; in the past, they could have been sold for astronomical figures.

"Come here for a moment."

Father Zheng was operating a sewing machine. Hearing the police officer next to him, Father Zheng frowned. Although he didn't know why, Father Zheng still followed the staff member out.

"What's wrong?"

"At four o'clock this afternoon, your family member is coming to visit you."

Hearing this, Father Zheng was slightly taken aback.

"Huh? This afternoon? But I don't think today is visiting day, is it?"

After entering the Prison, the thing every prisoner looks forward to most is undoubtedly the time to meet with family members. Father Zheng was the same. He counted the days until the next meeting every day because the Prison was truly too lonely and tormenting. A meeting once a month was his greatest hope for survival.

"Yes, it's a temporary arrangement. Anyway, prepare well for this afternoon."

The staff member had already heard about Mrs. Zheng, but he didn't say it out loud. Someone would tell him in the afternoon anyway, so he wouldn't say anything more.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

For some reason, Father Zheng felt a bit nervous in his heart, but he didn't know where this nervousness came from. Returning to his workstation, Father Zheng felt uneasy.

"What exactly is wrong? Did something happen? Zheng Tian?"

Father Zheng immediately thought of Zheng Tian, but unfortunately, this time it wasn't about Zheng Tian, but his wife. Perhaps because he was thinking about this, Father Zheng's work gradually slowed down. Usually, if the person in charge saw this, they would definitely come over to say something, but this time, they all saw it, but didn't say anything.

It could be considered their humanitarian care.

Time passed bit by bit, and before he knew it, the time for the afternoon meeting had arrived. At four o'clock, Father Zheng was brought to the meeting room. At this moment, Father Zheng could clearly notice his hands trembling.

Sure enough.

This person was still smart; he knew that something must have happened at home. Otherwise, why would he suddenly meet with a family member?

"Heaven bless, Heaven bless."

"Please, don't let anything happen."

"Must not..."

At this moment, Father Zheng was praying in his heart. Because of this matter, Father Zheng hadn't even rested well at noon, but his prayers were useless, because what had already happened could not be changed by anyone, even if that person was Zheng Jie, it could not be changed.

Suddenly, the door to the meeting room was pushed open.

Hearing this sound, Father Zheng subconsciously raised his head.

When he saw the person who entered, Father Zheng's face was full of disbelief. He hadn't expected this person to come, and this person was—

Zheng Jie.
