"Old Ma, why is Secretary Liu acting like he's swallowed a bomb?"
"Who knows, in all these years I've been here, this is the first time I've seen him so out of control."
"Isn't there a meeting? You'll find out soon enough."
"Let's go to the conference room and wait. I heard from the secretary that Secretary Liu went to the hospital first."
...
A dozen minutes later, Secretary Liu's car came to an abrupt stop in front of the city hospital.
Dean Ge, who had already been notified, immediately led several directors to greet them.
"Secretary Liu!"
"How are the injured?" Secretary Liu's voice was hoarse, filled with barely suppressed anger.
"The bullet has been removed."
Dean Ge reported very quickly: "Fortunately, no internal organs or bones were damaged; it was just a superficial injury. With proper rest, he should recover in one or two months."
Secretary Liu's tense body finally relaxed slightly, as if a drowning person had finally breathed in a breath of oxygen.
It's good that he's not dead or crippled!
"Dean Ge, listen carefully!"
Secretary Liu's eyes were sharp as knives as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "This injured person's identity is extremely special! Your hospital must use the best resources and the fastest speed to help him recover!"
"Understood! I understand!" Dean Ge nodded repeatedly, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
"Is the person awake?"
"She's already awake."
"Take me there."
"yes!"
Third floor, special care ward.
Li Yuanchao lay on the bed, his face pale, but his eyes were burning as he looked at Li Yuanyuan, who was sitting by the bed.
“Yuanyuan, I really didn’t expect that you would disregard everything at that time…”
"Support Korea!"
The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Secretary Liu burst in with a gust of cold wind, interrupting Li Yuanchao's heartfelt confession.
Li Yuanchao's expression instantly darkened.
“Yuanchao, it’s all my fault, Uncle Liu!” Secretary Liu strode to the bedside, his face filled with guilt and lingering fear. “Don’t worry, Uncle Liu promises you, I will definitely find the murderer within 24 hours!”
"Uncle Liu."
Li Yuanchao's voice was calm, but beneath that calm lay a storm that could overturn the officialdom of Funing.
"I really didn't expect that the public security in Funing County would be this bad."
"I now have serious doubts about whether building a multi-billion dollar smelter here was the right decision."
boom!
Secretary Liu felt as if his mind had exploded, and his breath caught in his throat.
His anxiety was almost overflowing, and his voice trembled slightly: "Yuanchao, give Uncle Liu another chance! Uncle Liu will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Dean Ge and the others following behind had their hearts pounding in their throats.
A multi-billion dollar smelter?
My God, who on earth is lying on this bed?!
"Yuanchao, don't scare Secretary Liu."
Just as the atmosphere froze to freezing point, Li Yuanyuan suddenly smiled and spoke, her voice soft yet carrying a strange, comforting power.
Upon hearing her voice, the icy expression on Li Yuanchao's face instantly melted away, replaced by a smile.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Whatever Yuanyuan says goes."
Secretary Liu glanced at Li Yuanyuan in shock, his mind reeling.
This woman... how could she have Li Yuanchao under her thumb like this?
"Yuanchao, focus on recovering from your injuries. Uncle Liu will take care of the rest!"
"Hmm," Li Yuanchao replied indifferently.
If Li Yuanyuan hadn't spoken up, he would have already called back to Beijing and terminated the project.
“Boss Li,” Secretary Liu turned to Li Yuanyuan, his tone becoming much more polite, “I’m entrusting Yuanchao to your care.”
"Secretary Liu, you're too kind. It's what I should do."
Secretary Liu dared not linger any longer; he had to return immediately to mobilize the entire county's resources and find that damned gunman!
He's now racing against time to save his political life!
After Secretary Liu left in a hurry, the ward fell silent again.
Li Yuanchao's gaze softened again.
In this lifetime, he, Li Yuanchao, has decided that this is the woman he has chosen.
The moment he was shot and fell, she rushed forward without regard for her own life, shielding him with her frail body.
What more could one ask for?
That's enough!
Meeting Li Yuanchao's almost melting gaze, Li Yuanyuan felt a chill creep up her spine to the back of her head, and her stomach churned.
She forced back her nausea and asked in a low voice, "Yuanchao, did you see what the person who fired the shot looked like?"
Li Yuanchao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I only heard your scream, and then it felt like I was hit on the back with a hammer, and then I knew nothing more."
That's good.
The heavy weight that had been hanging over Li Yuanyuan's heart was now half lifted.
“Yuanyuan, you were close by at the time, you must have seen it, right?” Li Yuanchao pressed.
Li Yuanyuan's acting skills reached their peak at this moment.
A perfectly timed look of fear flashed in her eyes, then she shook her head, her voice trembling with lingering fear: "I only saw a dark figure running out of the reeds with a gun. He was wearing a hood, and I... I didn't see anything clearly."
“They came prepared and will definitely not expose themselves,” Li Yuanchao said without the slightest doubt.
"Yuanchao, are you hungry? I'll go buy you some porridge." Li Yuanyuan couldn't wait to escape from here.
Now that you mention it, I am actually a little hungry.
"I'll go right away!"
Before she finished speaking, Li Yuanyuan fled the ward as if avoiding a plague.
Watching her hurried figure, Li Yuanchao felt a warm glow in his heart.
