Pingyang First People's Hospital.
Cheng Wei had gauze wrapped around his head and was receiving an IV.
His driver was in a more serious condition and is still in the intensive care unit for observation.
Guo Xuecai and Mayor Yang Wanquan were sitting by his bed, one peeling an apple for him and the other making tea for him, but neither of them knew what to say.
Cheng Wei pursed his dry lips and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
Guo Xuecai shook his head and said, "Not yet. It's like he disappeared out of thin air. But we haven't given up. We are still investigating carefully and not missing any clues."
Cheng Wei nodded, but he was not angry at the police's poor handling of the case, because he knew that his opponents were not ordinary people, and it was relatively easy for him to hide the whereabouts of the murderers.
For example, the back door of a highway service area is opened in advance and the surveillance is turned off... Even if the vehicle information is found, it must be a fake license plate. Even the information of the people in the car may be fake, so there is no way to check.
Tu Ming is an old fox. He has been working in Hanjiang for more than ten years. He has always been low-key, but in fact he has many tricks. The most terrifying thing is that he has many people working for him, and a considerable number of them are people in the system, which allows him to reach out further and is not easy to detect.
Just like Guo Xuecai and Yang Wanquan in front of him, although they seemed to obey him and even did everything for him, who could guarantee that these two people were not Tu Ming's lackeys?
So there are many things that I don't want to talk to them about. I just treat it as an ordinary accident and let them investigate and handle it.
At this time, Yang Wanquan suggested, "Director Cheng, are you feeling better? Do you need to be transferred to the provincial hospital?"
Cheng Wei glanced at him and said, "Why? Do you think I'm a nuisance in your Pingyang?"
Yang Wanquan waved his hands and said, "No, no... After all, the conditions here are not as good as those in the provincial capital... I'm worried that you won't be able to get used to it."
Cheng Wei smiled and said, "I think the hospital environment in Pingyang is pretty good. The ones in the provincial capital are just so-so!"
As he spoke, he looked around the room. This high-care ward was about 70 to 80 square meters in size. The beds were custom-made, and there was a sofa, refrigerator, and TV. There was also a suite... The hospital in the provincial capital was crowded with people and beds were tight. The standard of the high-care ward was not much better than that in Pingyang. The only difference was the level of the doctors, but he only had a superficial wound, so it didn't matter where he went.
Guo Xuecai saw the opportunity and began to show off. He glared at Yang Wanquan first, then said to Cheng Wei with a smile, "You can stay wherever you feel comfortable. I will send someone from the hospital to take care of you."
Yang Wanquan smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, I don't mean to drive you away. It is an honor for us in Pingyang that you can live here permanently, hehe..."
Cheng Wei almost spit out a mouthful of tea... Damn it, I just have a minor injury, and you are planning to have me stay in the hospital in Pingyang for a long time?
But he knew that Yang Wanquan didn't mean that, it was just that he was a straightforward person who spoke without restraint...
While talking.
Tian Baoguang from Ningzhou rushed over.
As soon as he entered the room, he rushed to Cheng Wei's bedside and asked with concern, "Minister Cheng, are you feeling better? Who is so bold as to hit your car? If I knew who it was, I would skin him alive!"
Cheng Wei smiled and said "it's okay", thinking to himself, if you knew that Tu Ming was behind all this, you would be so scared that your legs would go limp.
Political struggle is deadly. Everyone hopes to stay out of it, and only a very few choose to take sides because they are forced to do so.
Cheng Wei asked, "Do you have any clues?"
Tian Baoguang sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Minister Cheng. We checked the surveillance and went to the scene... It's very strange, there is no clue at all!"
Cheng Wei nodded with a serious expression and said no more.
Just then, there was a sound of ladies' leather shoes tapping on the floor. The sound was quick, as if the person was in a hurry.
A moment later, Li Lan pushed the door and walked in.
Guo Xuecai, Yang Wanquan, and Tian Baoguang quickly stood up and looked at Li Lan, greeting him in unison, "Minister Li, you're here? Please take a seat..."
Li Lan smiled and nodded to everyone as a greeting, then ran straight to Cheng Wei's window and asked with concern, "Is everything okay?"
Cheng Wei nodded, "It's just a superficial wound, no problem!"
Li Lan said, "That's good..."
Cheng Wei then said to Guo Xuecai and the other two, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I want to talk to Minister Li."
Guo Xuecai and the other two left tactfully.
Li Lan first walked around the room to make sure there was nothing suspicious, then sat down on a stool beside Cheng Wei's bed and said, "I didn't expect the other party to be so cruel and ruthless. In order to destroy the evidence, they even crashed into your car... If anything happens to you, these people will be buried with you!"
Cheng Wei said, "Based on what he has done so far, even if he didn't do anything to me, he is dead! You came from Yanjing, did the commander give you any instructions?"
Li Lan nodded and said, "I heard that Xiaolin had evidence against certain people and was in danger. The chief just sighed..."
Cheng Wei asked nervously, "What are you sighing about?"
Li Lan said, "The leader said with emotion that the fleas in the Han River jump too high..."
"Oh? Fleas?" Cheng Wei was puzzled for a moment and then suddenly realized.
Fleas, blood-sucking fleas, if they jump too high, they will be crushed to death!
Cheng Wei said, "That means the top management of Hanjiang is going to make a big move?"
Li Lan nodded and agreed.
Just imagine, if something happens to the incumbent deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, can the secretary and the governor not be held responsible? The disciplinary inspection department is in name only, can it not be held responsible?
Tu Ming’s imprisonment also means a major change in Hanjiang’s political arena!
Cheng Wei asked again, "Where is Xiaolin? What instructions did the leader give? What should we do next?"
Li Lan said, "This is a rare opportunity for him to gain experience. The chief said he was also curious about how Xiaolin would do it. But no matter what Xiaolin does, it will not have any impact on his future. The chief will take full responsibility. All we need to do is to protect his safety."
Cheng Wei nodded silently. He felt relieved after hearing what the chief said. He was also afraid that Li Lin would not be under his control and would make a hole in Hanjiang's sky and cause trouble...The chief would definitely blame him for not protecting his master.
Cheng Wei said, "That's great. If you and I join forces, we will be able to protect him..."
Li Lan said, "The only unstable factors now are the Tong family and the Xu family. Although these two families are helping Xiaolin, I am afraid they will do more harm than good... It is reported that the Tong family has sent people to secretly monitor their opponents, but they don't know that they have been exposed long ago. If they alert the enemy... there may be accidents."
What she wanted to say was, if Tu Ming was frightened, defected abroad, or committed suicide by jumping off a building... then wouldn't everything she was doing now be in vain?
Hearing this, Cheng Wei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
