Ling Jinhua had actually been planning to take a trip to the South for a while.
He hadn't left Yanjing for several years, for many reasons, the most important being his health.
In recent years, his health had been deteriorating, one could say it was getting worse with each passing day.
He spent most of his time in the old house, attending only very important events or meetings, and rarely participating in public activities.
But even so, no one dared to ignore his presence, and he was still regarded as The Pillar.
His subordinates and proteges are spread across the country, most of them in very important positions, his influence cannot be compared by ordinary people.
However, it's undeniable that as his health declined, many naturally thought he was nearing the end of his life. Although the news of his critical condition was kept strictly confidential, many people still knew about it, and some thought he had little time left, slowly beginning to underestimate him.
