Indeed, since it was just an ordinary old man, why shd Zhu family be so exaggerating? Formed an umbrella formation, was there someone in the procession that could not come to light?

The whole funeral, since the first day had been on heightened alert, on the funeral day the precaution was such that not a single drop of water could drip out, security guards, volunteers had been all out, they seemed to outnumbered the visitors.

Friends of the deceased revealed that the deceased was once a very helpful person, his funeral had become one that 'Strangers' are not to get near. The tight security was even more than political VIPs.

Old Zhu was not a famous person, his funeral was so sensational, it was all because of a an open secret : Andy Lau.

All the media reporters immediately rushed forward wanting to take photo of the scene, a pity 50 over burly man blocked the way with big umbrellas, the situation suddenly turned chaotic, this precious moment was not photographed!

But the appearance of Andy in the procession holding the hearse was enough to create a commotion, he has finally admitted ZLQ, fulfilling the wish of her late father.

This morning, when all the media gathered outside the mouring hall, Zhu family went into high state of alert, not a single one was allowed near.

At close to 11:35, father Zhu Mercedes hearse finally set off from the house, the car plate nos was WLC811.

Relatives & friends walked slowly for a distance of about 2 km, at the road junction they got up the transport & headed direct to Fujian Cemetery. The convoy of people numbered around 500.

From the view, the reporter noticed it was rather chaotic at the funeral, Zhu family had hired 50 big & strong men, each with an umbrella shielding Andy from outsiders. Despite this, 40 over media surrounding the mourning hall could clearly see, among all the people, Andy was in there.

The one walking right in front of the procession was the eldest son-in-law of Zhu family, he held a red banner meant for son-in-law, under protection of a few burly men, he walked in front, at one moment he was thought to be Andy.

Behind the eldest s-i-l was the hearse, the reporter was stunned to see Andy! he was right behind the hearse holding onto it, among the relatives, beside Andy was ZLQ, behind them was a small girl, believed to the rumored daughter of Andy.

Andy a family of three all wearing white, was heavily protected by umbrellas throughout, all the way. Finally at the road junction he went up a bus & headed to the graveyard.

Andy f-i-l grave was exposed, among the names of daughters, ZLQ name became Zhu Li Qin!

Yesterday the reporter went to the cemetery to make a survey, ZLQ's mother grave had a tent over it, 2 workers were digging, getting ready the pit. When the reporter asked them questions, they kept their mouths sealed.

It is known that Zhu father would be buried beside his wife, new tomb was repainted, pic of ZLQ mother was there.

Among the names of the 4 daughters, there was no ZLQ, but there is Zhu Li Qin, believed that ZLQ has changed her name.

Most of the graves in Cheras Fijian cemetery are double-pit, the feng shui is very good as the view ahead is luch mountainous. Zhu mother passed away some years ago.

Media from all over the place in order to take a pic of Andy had resorted to all means.

Zao Bao reporter stationed day & night at the location, 30 over reporters were also there, 12 of them were from HK, including Next Magazine, East weekly, Ming Pao Weekly, Apple Daily, Ming Pao, The Sun, TVB & others, almost all were present.

Though the reporter had booked hotels none went back, they staked out 24 hrs outside the house, hoping to get the first hand news.

They rented cars & used them as beds, when hungry they ate at the nearby eatery in a hurry so as not to miss anything.

To mingle into the house they disguise as passenger on a taxi to get in, but was stopped.

Despite this, they never gave up. They rented a luxurious car, managed to enter but could only film the morning hall, without seeing Andy.

Some got to know local residents disguised themselves as locals to stay in the house nearby.

Some disguise as caretakers wanting to mingle in, complete with uniform.

Zhu family in an all out protection for Andy, had set up a big plan, just so that he would not be seen, this evoked some debates.

The neighbors disclosed that in the last 3 days they had seen Andy several times in Zhu's residence!

One of them indicated he had seen Andy often since the 19th. He said Andy always came out around 3 to 4 pm, when there were less people. The last time he saw him was yesterday afternoon around 4 pm, he was wearing black top & pants, looking energetic, beside him was a lady looking like ZLQ, but both of them appeared low-keyed, no holding hands or talking a lot.

Another one said he had seen Andys bodyguard.

This morning at the funeral, 50 strong men surrounded the mourning hall & procession tightly, not even air could get in, they formed a human wall.

Initially the media was thinking if Andy would sent his f-i-l in his last journey, on seeing the big exaggerated lay-out, it obviously telling others 'There is no cash buried here' (when in actual fact, cash was buried there).

Obviously Andy was in, thus the need for such as a big troop of guards.

The reporter saw that 50 guards had one after another arrived the hall this morning from 8 am, They are big sized & strong, & meticulously survey the surrounding area, not giving any chance for people to break through the barrier.

Soon after that, each of them was given an umbrella, they opened all the umbrellas to block views of outsiders.

It was said Andy had reached KL on the 19th, but stayed hidden in the house all the while, accompanied ZLQ last 3 days in mourning.

After holding the hearse, Andy managed to slip away! He was no longer present at the graveyard!

The reporter chased all the way to the graveyard, it was found that there was a 180 degree change in the situation, there was no more 50 strong guards with umbrellas to block the view, any media could get near to take photos.

The reporter noted that when the relatives & friends alighted from the transport, Andy, ZLQ family of there was no where in sight.

When the coffin was lowered, the relatives all went to pray, there was completely no sight of Andy, no wonder no more umbrellas were needed to shild the media.

News had it that Andy had left fro HK in a 4 pm flight, it is guessed that half way he had secretly left for the airport.

The funeral organizer had invited some orphans to come chant sutra, it was said this was to allow Andy's daughter to mingle in the group so she could see the last of her grandfather.

The reporter saw last night at around 8 pm, 2 small vans carried 15 children aged around 7 to 8 , after that chanting was heard.

Father of ZLQ will be buried beside his wife in a double pit grave. There is a pic of Mother Zhu on the tomb, ZLQ resembles her mother quite a lot, there are names of 2 sons & 4 daughters on it. ZLQ's name is not there, looks like ZLQ is not her real name.

At around 4 pm yesterday, a goods vehicle moved many big paper structures to the house, they are for burning during Buddhist rites. Zhu family has hired extra 7 security guards yesterday. As seen yesterday, security gets tighter by day, 30 over media can only take pictures from far.

Yesterday Andy & ZLQ did not come out of the house, 2 weeks ago when father Zhu was alive, someone witnessed Andy accompanied by ZLQ were at Happy Valley jockey club chatting & dining.

Tomorrow Saturday is Andy's father-i-l funeral, according to friend of the Zhu family, on sending the last journey of his f-i-l. Andy has indicated, "I will do what I must do." Obviously he has made up his mind to take part in the funeral tomorrow. For 24 years this will be the first time he stands out to admit his relationship with ZLQ, his status as son-i-l is anytime in sight!

Zhu's father funeral will be carried out in Buddhist ceremony, these few days all the family members are in white, accordingly Andy will wear the same.

Guests who have paid the last respect included political figures, China film star who was married to Malaysia, Hu Jing, was present with her husband. Insider even disclosed that Simon Yim will come to pay his last respect.

The news said security guards for Andy will increased tomorrow, other than so that his heavenly status will not be disturbed, it is hoped that at the last journey the relatives & friends will also not be disturbed. The good friend said to show filial piety, Andy will be present throughout the whole of funeral, after arrival at the graveyard, will he get down from the car is a real test.

Though personally he hopes to get down to bid goodbye to the late Mr Zhu, those beside him all objected to him doing it, so as not to cause chaos at the site. From here it can be predicted that the funeral will be even more stringent. The guests are requested not to bring hand phone or camera, so that the solemn scenes, will not leak to the hands of the paparazzi.

Despite all fingers pointing & tongues wagging, Andy is said not only will he not appear at the funeral, he is leaving early for HK!

Andy has been firm in carrying these 3 strategies, 'Not showing his face, not publishing obituary & not attending funeral'. Once again he is showing his stance as far as ZLQ is concern all these 24 years, he is not giving her a status.

Since the news of the demise of Mr Zhu was out, his where about is the focus of the media. Even though everybody believes that he is hiding in the house, he is yet to be seen. According to sources, Zhu's family has at the last moment withdrawn the obituary that was to be publish initially, vowing to protect Andy all the way.

In actual fact, in all these 24 years he tries all means to cover this love affair, he has never exposed his love life in front of the media, even if he was seen together with ZLQ, or spotted to have joint name in prayer blessing, or even caught red-handed by the media, he will denied flatly.

Now that his father-in-law has passed away, the whole world is waiting for him to appear on the funeral day, but judging from the way he handles his love matter, it is believed that he will never ever, under the big group of media waiting eagerly, walk out & be photographed as evidence, he will never let this love affair that he has so tediously protected 24 years be exposed.

News said he will not appear on the funeral tomorrow morning, he may even trick everyone, when all the media is staking out in the residential area, he may leave the place quietly one day early via Peter Lam's private plane, as private plane has no time constraint, his schedule will all be a secret.

Andy has always worked to maintain his good image, he works very hard, & seldom has negative news, he has won hearts of media in HK, from the news report in HK newspapers if can be seen they has reservations for him.

But Andy has never wanted to reveal his love matter, since his wedding date leaked out, to cancellation of the wedding, he flatly refused to acknowledge ZLQ. All these have led to a lot of debates, many readers have called in these few days, "Why even until today, Andy is still not seen?" People are beginning to cast doubts on him, this is indeed a challenge for his good image he diligently keeps.

Actually Andy has been so popular in the show bizz 20 over years, from young idol to Heavenly King status, he can be said to be a legendary figure in the circle, now that he at middle-age it is only natural that he gets married, but why is he not willing to acknowledge his status as son-in-law of the Zhu's?

Andy has always insisted on his bachelor status, one of the possibility he wants to maintain his 'Forver idol' status, perhaps he is protecting his income as spokesman, or it is due to some roles he has played in the movies? In all, he just wants to protect his heavenly status & his soaring career. But if he is open with his marriage will it really affect him? The answere is not definite.

Despite staking out in full force outside the house, the media has yet to spot Andy Lau appearing, until 930pm on Wednesday, Andy is not in sight. But it is believed that he is in the house. This has been confirmed by the security person in-charge of the private residential area, Andy had personally spoke to him, & gave him 10 ringgit to take care of the surroundings.

According to news report, on Wednesday night Buddhist chanting ceremony had started, 3 monks chanted the sutra, descendants of Zhu family each has with Buddhist beads followed the chanting. ZLQ was the 2nd last in the line. Andy was not seen. ZLQ appeared very sad, shedding tears often. According to the workers, there were 40 over wreaths all given by the commercial organizations, Andy was not seen at the mourning hall.

It was said that even if Andy were to appear, he just need to be present at the funeral, son-in-law needs not be present at the present ceremony. The neighbor all praised late Zhu as one with a good character, friendly & helpful. He actively helped those who has financial difficulties.
