The news quickly reached Chairman Zhou's ears.
When Chairman Zhou learned that Fang Wenjun had not come, he was extremely surprised.
"Could it be that Vice President Fang was delayed by something?" someone asked.
Chairman Zhou shook his head and said no.
Today is the day the painting group finishes its work, based on his understanding of his old colleagues.
Even if Fang Wenjun is delayed by something, she will call in advance.
It's impossible that there hasn't been any news at all by now.
Besides, everyone knows that Comrade Xiao Jiang is her lover's prized student.
He heard from his subordinates that Fang Wenjun had been coming to see Xiao Jiang every day without fail during this period.
Sometimes, they would spend several hours giving instructions from above.
Jiang Si's reaction to this was even more direct.
Having finished her work, she figured she had nothing to do here, so she might as well go visit her teacher's wife.
Chairman Zhou thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you."
He happened to have something to discuss with Fang Wenjun.
The three got into the car and arrived near the entrance of the alley where the Fang family lived half an hour later.
Just as we were about to turn into the alley, a Beijing Jeep 212 suddenly drove out from inside.
Upon seeing the license plate number displayed on the front of the other vehicle.
Jiang Si quickly told Huo Tingzhou to pull over and then stopped him.
In those days, police vehicles all started with GA, and their license plates were a combination of white background and red lettering.
Vehicles belonging to other units are marked with a blue background and white lettering.
She had seen this license plate, GA01-4865, before at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Sure enough, the other person quickly got out of the car when they rolled down the window and saw Jiang Si.
"Hey, Comrade Jiang, what are you doing here?"
The speaker was a young policeman in his early twenties, the same one who had gone to the Huo family to deliver her temporary work permit before. Jiang Si remembered that his name was Tao Ming.
Jiang Si said, "I came here to see someone. By the way, Officer Tao, what brings you here? Is there a new case here?"
Tao Ming nodded. This case was just an ordinary case; there was nothing he couldn't say.
“We received a report from the public that there had been a case of intentional assault here, so we came to find out what happened.”
"A case of intentional assault?"
"Yes, I heard that someone hit a woman with their car, and then the person fled to avoid punishment."
For some reason, Jiang Si felt uneasy after hearing those words.
She blurted out instinctively, "What's the condition of the injured woman? What's her name?"
"We don't know either. When we arrived, the woman had already been taken to the hospital. We'll have to wait until we get there to find out the specifics."
Tao Ming hadn't really paid attention to his name; he just flipped through the transcript.
"The person who reported the case was not from the same alley as her. All I know is that this person's surname is Fang, and he seems to be a painter."
Jiang Si's face turned pale upon hearing this. "Which hospital was she taken to?"
Seeing that Jiang Si's tone was unusually urgent, Tao Ming was also a little confused.
"It's...it's the nearby Chaoyang Second People's Hospital."
"Thanks."
After finishing her sentence, Jiang Si quickly returned to the car. Thinking that Tao Ming had mentioned an intentional assault case rather than a murder case, she finally felt less panicked.
On the way to the hospital, she explained the situation to the two of them.
Chairman Zhou was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time after hearing this. He and Lao Fang had known each other for almost twenty years.
He knew exactly what kind of person Lao Fang was.
She's a low-key person who rarely leaves the house except for work.
Even if there was a conflict with someone, there's no reason to deliberately run her over with your car, is there?
Jiang Si couldn't figure it out either.
But she always felt that this matter was inextricably linked to the mural.
The hospital is nearby; it will only take less than ten minutes to get there.
When they arrived, Fang Wenjun had just come out of the operating room, but because of the anesthesia, she was still unconscious.
"Doctor, how is she now?"
"The person is currently in good condition, but has several fractures. After being discharged from the hospital, he will need to rest in bed for at least three months."
"You can go in to see her once the anesthesia wears off."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that everyone is alright."
However, the doctor's expression was not so optimistic, so Jiang Si asked another question.
"Doctor, will her fracture have any long-term effects?"
"It's hard to say, because she landed on her arms first."
"Although the bone has been set, whether there will be any aftereffects depends on her recovery."
The doctor phrased it tactfully, but everyone still understood his underlying meaning.
After the doctor left, Chairman Zhou immediately sighed.
For people like them who have dedicated their lives to painting, their hands are like their second life.
The person who hit her was absolutely cruel!
I wonder if Lao Fang will be able to handle the news when he wakes up.
And now that Lao Fang is in this situation, we'll have to find someone else to do the coloring work.
As for who to contact, Chairman Zhou had no idea for the time being.
"By the way, Xiao Jiang, don't tell your master's wife about this for now, so as not to affect her mood while she is recuperating."
Jiang Si nodded; she knew about this even if Chairman Zhou hadn't mentioned it.
Seeing that it was getting late, it wouldn't be good for everyone to stay here.
Jiang Si said, "President Zhou, the mural group still has a lot of things to do. Why don't you go back first?"
"We'll keep watch, and I'll contact you again if anything happens."
