Executive Vice Mayor Wen Tai is an experienced and wise decision-maker.
He is good at maneuvering in complex political environments. His words are sharp and powerful, and he always plays a key role at critical moments.
His eyes revealed a calmness, decisiveness and ruthlessness. His decisions were always well thought out and pointed out the direction for the city's development.
Zhou Zhiyuan, the executive deputy director of the Municipal Government Office and the personal secretary of Mayor Jin Xiaoyan, is a witty and loyal assistant.
He had to shuttle between the municipal party secretary, the mayor and the executive vice mayor, conveying their opinions and decisions.
His work may seem mundane, but it is crucial.
His eyes revealed a kind of sharpness and concentration. He listened carefully to every voice and provided them with the most accurate information and the most considerate service.
Their competition is no longer a power struggle between individuals, but a competition for urban development and people's well-being.
They each use their talents and wisdom to contribute to the future of Weihe City.
They had quarrels and disagreements, but they all had the same goal, which was to make Weihe City a better place.
However, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The prosperity on the surface cannot hide the selfish intentions of the municipal party committee secretary Nangong Taiyuan and the executive vice mayor Wen Tai who want to take down the mayor Jin Xiaoyan, Zhou Zhiyuan and others.
The power struggle between them intensified, to the point that Wen Tai coerced and bribed Mayor Jin Xiaoyan's personal secretary Tian Xiaoya to poison Jin Xiaoyan.
However, by mistake, Zhou Zhiyuan was poisoned and remained unconscious after three days and three nights of rescue.
In this city, the power struggle is like a boiling oil pan, gurgling and boiling.
The originally peaceful life was torn apart by a seemingly ordinary conspiracy, filled with haze and suspicion.
Zhou Zhiyuan lay on the hospital bed, pale and motionless.
Inside his body, he was like a trapped beast, struggling in pain.
His body seemed to be bound by invisible chains, unable to move, and he could only watch himself walk step by step towards the abyss.
Tian Xiaoya, Mayor Jin Xiaoyan's personal secretary, is full of contradictions and struggles in the face of Wen Tai's coercion and inducement.
She knew that the power struggle between the mayor and the municipal party secretary had reached a fever pitch, and she had become a victim of this struggle.
She couldn't believe her eyes. Why did the poison she had accidentally fall on Zhou Zhiyuan?
Wen Tai's expression was uncertain, and his eyes flashed with cunning and ruthlessness.
He watched Zhou Zhiyuan fall into a coma and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
However, he did not expect that there were more secrets waiting to be revealed in the vortex of this power struggle.
Mayor Jin Xiaoyan seems isolated and helpless in this power struggle. She knows very well that her personal secretary has been bribed by Wen Tai, and she herself has been involved in this dangerous game.
She could only pray silently, hoping that Zhou Zhiyuan would wake up soon and uncover the truth of it all.
The power struggle between Jin Xiaoyan, Nangong Taiyuan, Wen Tai and others intensified, and they each took various measures to try to bring the other down.
In the process, they gradually discovered a shocking secret: the reason for Zhou Zhiyuan's poisoning was not Tian Xiaoya's fault.
This discovery plunged them into confusion and panic, and they began to doubt their own judgment and decision-making.
Tian Xiaoya is not a cruel person. He deliberately switched the poison given to him by Wen Tai and Wenmingjun and lied that it did not work.
On the fourth night of Zhou Zhiyuan's coma, a mysterious figure appeared in the hospital corridor.
He quietly approached Zhou Zhiyuan's ward, holding an extremely sharp scalpel in his hand.
This was a vicious plan carefully prepared by Wen Tai. He planned to let the killer attack Zhou Zhiyuan at the right time.
However, Zhou Zhiyuan was rescued by a mysterious man.
Who is this mysterious man? Why did he save Zhou Zhiyuan? These questions filled Wen Tai with unease.
At the same time, Tian Xiaoya was silently praying for a miracle to happen.
Because Tian Xiaoya knew very well that she was not the one who poisoned the baby, but she couldn't explain it to the police for the time being.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the ward. It was Mayor Jin Xiaoyan.
With a determined glint in her eyes, she said to Tian Xiaoya, "Let's uncover the truth of all this together."
In the following days, Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya jointly launched an investigation.
Jin Xiaoyan's heart was filled with anxiety and worry. She was determined to find out the truth and seek justice for Zhou Zhiyuan.
Tian Xiaoya also decided to help Jin Xiaoyan, and the two began this difficult investigation journey together.
After an in-depth investigation, they found some shocking clues.
It turns out that the person who was truly cruel and poisoned was the kind-hearted cook.
Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.
The cook is always kind and treats everyone like her own family.
The food she cooks is also very delicious and is loved by everyone.
Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya could never have imagined that such a seemingly kind person would do such a vicious thing?
Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya felt scared and rushed to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.
The two of them were in a very heavy mood. They realized that you can't judge a book by its cover and you can't measure the depth of the sea.
Some people appear to be very kind on the surface, but actually hide a dark heart.
Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya were determined to make sure the cook received the punishment she deserved.
Eventually, the cook was arrested by the police and sentenced to severe punishment.
She was sent to prison and paid the price for her crimes.
A week later, when Zhou Zhiyuan regained consciousness, he found that the prison cook had been beaten to death by a fellow inmate.
This incident shocked Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya. They couldn't understand why these prisoners treated the cook so cruelly?
However, the law does not punish everyone, and they were simply placed under separate supervision, extending their sentences.
Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya felt very helpless about this matter. They knew that some people's hearts could not be changed.
Even if the cook was punished, it would not change what she had done.
Jin Xiaoyan and Tian Xiaoya can only hope that Zhou Zhiyuan can recover soon and return to normal life.
Zhou Zhiyuan's parents, his brother and sister-in-law Zhou Zhibiao and Li Hui, as well as Li Hui's parents and first love Xiao Na, were all in tears. They didn't know how many times they had cried.
However, Zhou Zhiyuan smiled faintly, as if he had just walked back from the gates of hell, and said weakly: "Mom and Dad, everyone, I'm fine. I was born in the Year of the Cat and have nine lives!"
Zhou Zhiyuan's parents looked at each other. Zhou Zhiyuan's mother quickly touched her son's forehead and said with tears in her eyes, "Silly son, there is no one who is born in the Year of the Cat!"
