The management of Wade’s grave has always been exceptionally stringent.
ording to the regtions set by the Wade family, only immediate family members and coteral blood rtives are permitted to visit the ancestral tomb for worship, and even they must obtain prior permission from the Wade family.
For outsiders, the requirements are even more rigorous.
Only individuals or families with a significant connection to the Wade family are allowed entry.
For instance, Orrin and Bruce, being brothers in worship, are permitted to bring their family of three to pay their respects.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
However, Orrin’s entourage does not meet the qualifications to approach Wade’s grave.
In simple terms, they are deemed unworthy.
The individuals interred by the Wade family here are extraordinary, akin to dragons and phoenixes among people, and it raises the question of who among the drivers, entourage, and assistants would be qualified to pay their respects.
In fact, even the servants of the Wade family and the security personnel on duty are not allowed ess to the tomb area.
This sacred space is cleaned and maintained three times a day—morning, noon, and evening—by coteral rtives of the Wade family, not by their subordinates.
Even coteral rtives must be talented individuals with the surname Wade to be entrusted with this responsibility.<fn0625> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find~novel</fn0625>
Thus, when the security personnel halted Charlie, it was entirely in line with these strict regtions.
Orrin noticed the impending intervention and quickly interjected, “Young man, I’ve just recovered from a serious illness, and I’m still feeling some residual effects. It’s really difficult for me to move. Please allow my driver to assist me. The rules for visiting the Wade graves weren’t always this strict; in the past, entourages were allowed to apany family members.”
The security personnel expressed sympathy but responded firmly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Sun, but this is a new rule established by the family head after relocating the ancestral grave to Wade Mountain. We must adhere to it strictly. I hope you can understand.”
Orrin felt a surge of anxiety. His primary purpose for bringing Charlie here was to honor his parents personally.
Charlie, wishing to keep his identity concealed, had opted to pose as a driver, unaware of the current stringent management of the Wade family.
Even as the chairman of the Sun Group, Orrin found himself pleading with the security personnel, “Young man, I truly have physical limitations. Please consider my rtionship with the Wade family and allow a passage for me. Do you really want to see me tumble down the stone steps due to instability?”
In response, the security personnel bowed respectfully, stating, “Mr. Sun, I sincerely wish I could amodate you, but I cannot. Otherwise, I would risk losing my job.”
Frustrated, Orrin retorted, “Isn’t this rule a bit unreasonable? We are family friends; it shouldn’t feel as though I am an outsider!”
The security personnel replied awkwardly, “Mr. Sun, please understand that this rule was set by the old master, and the current owner adheres to his wishes strictly. We must follow these guidelines without exception. I hope for your understanding.”
Orrin, feeling a mix of anger and desperation, eximed, “So you’re saying there’s no room for exceptions? Should I call Elder Wade now?”
The security personnel nodded eagerly, “Yes, Mr. Sun, if the owner permits it, we would never stand in the way!”
Realizing he couldn’t sway the security personnel, Orrin sighed, “Alright, I will contact Elder Wade.”
Despite his words, he felt uncertain.
He was aware of the Wade family’s history and knew that they had relocated their ancestral tomb to Wade Mountain due to the influence of an expert, who was presumably the old master of the security personnel.
If the old master had put this rule into ce, Orrin doubted that he would bend the rules for his own Feng Shui purposes.
Would Charlie truly be unable to pay his respects to his parents in person today?
