Three days later, Xiao Yang woke up, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At the doctor's suggestion, Xiao Yang was transferred to the Provincial People's Hospital and began a long period of medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Regarding the car accident, Eastern City set up a special investigation team to conduct a secret investigation. However, after several investigations, the case became a mystery and was buried in the dust of history.
On the day of the accident, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Caimao, personally ordered that the car involved in the accident be buried on the spot. This was done to protect the face of the Municipal Party Committee, to avoid unnecessary panic and speculation.
The day after Xiao Yang was transferred, Eastern City issued an obituary in the name of the municipal government. Mayor Han Honggang died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
It was originally a work-related death, but now it was a physical illness. This time, Han Honggang's family was not willing to accept it and wanted to fight for recognition. However, Xu Caimao's methods were indeed tough and he managed to settle this matter.
How exactly did the car accident happen? No one seemed to know. The driver died on the spot, and Mayor Han left. Now, only Xiao Yang knew, but he was still isolated in the ICU. All the mysteries were still waiting for him to reveal. However, as Lu Yiwei speculated, there were two versions among the public.
One said that the car was too fast that day and there was ice at the corner. The driver could not turn back in time and directly plunged into a ravine. This version combined with the weather at the time seemed to make sense. However, there were some conspiracy theorists who raised different opinions. They said that the afternoon before the car accident, Mayor Han criticized a coal boss and dismissed a county leader on the spot. With this connection, it was highly likely that revenge was involved.
As for which version it was, no one knew.
However, a very small number of people still knew the truth, but considering the social impact, it was impossible to release the truth.
The person was dead, so what was the point of arguing about this?
Another half a month passed. Xiao Yang was transferred from the ICU to a normal ward, and his recovery was not bad. The doctor said that as long as he actively cooperated, he could basically recover to a normal person's level in the future.
Xiao Yang was a cheerful and optimistic person. He always had a smile on his face, welcoming the sunshine every morning.
These two days, the cadres of Eastern City came to visit one after another. There were even people specially guarding him, for fear that he would say something. Xiao Yang told Xu Caimao everything on the phone, "Secretary Xu, thank you for the concern of the Municipal Party Committee. Mayor Han's sudden cerebral hemorrhage was irresistible, and I am very sad. As for the rest, I know nothing. "
Xu Caimao was very satisfied with this answer and said, "Xiao Yang, rest well and recuperate. The Municipal Party Committee will not forget you. After you recover, I will definitely put you in an important position. "
"Thank you, Secretary Xu." After hanging up, Xiao Yang's smile froze on his face.
When only Lu Yiwei and Xiao Yang were left in the ward, the two of them opened their hearts and had a deep conversation.
"Brother Yiwei, can you help me write a resignation letter?" Xiao Yang said lightly.
"What?" Lu Yiwei thought he misheard and asked in astonishment, "Why?"
Xiao Yang bit his lip and said, "Brother Yiwei, do you remember what I told you before? I studied technology, and I'm not suited for administrative work. After this incident, I realized that I'm really not suited for it. Besides, even if I can stand up in the future, I will still be a cripple. I don't want to enter the officialdom anymore. I want to live a carefree life of my own for a few days. "
Lu Yiwei understood and asked, "Do your parents agree to this?"
"They will." Xiao Yang firmly nodded his head. "Ever since I was young, my parents have always supported my every decision. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to the Shuyang Coal Mine. Haha."
Lu Yiwei did not speak and took out a pen and paper from his bag to write Xiao Yang's resignation letter. After that, Xiao Yang raised his weak arm and signed his name crookedly.
After signing, Xiao Yang instantly felt more relaxed and smiled. "From this moment onwards, I am a free man. Let bygones be bygones. I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Lu Yiwei sat by the side for a long time before he asked, "Xiao Yang, can you tell me about the car accident?"
Xiao Yang's smile froze on his face as he helplessly shook his head. "Brother Yiwei, I also don't remember the situation at that time. Don't ask anymore."
"You're even hiding it from me?"
Xiao Yang's facial nerves twitched violently. After a while, he said, "I really can't remember. I only felt the car slide sideways into a ditch."
"Oh." Seeing that Xiao Yang did not want to talk about it, Lu Yiwei did not ask further. "Don't think about anything else. Take care of your body. You will still be a man when you come out."
Xiao Yang endured the pain and nodded.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Lu Yiwei was really worried about his parents, so he moved from Dongzhou City to Jiangdong City. Although the new house was not spacious, it was more than enough for three generations.
His mother, Liu Cuilan, was very nervous when she heard about Xiao Yang's accident. In her mind, Xiao Yang was her second son, Lu Yifeng. But when would this mystery be solved? It did not take long.
Lu Yiwei asked his father about Lu Weiguo's blood type. In order to solve the mystery, he took his father to the hospital to have his blood type tested. The result was shocking. It was also type B.
Holding the results, Lu Yiwei asked the doctor. The doctor said that, from a genetic perspective, there were only two possibilities for a child born from type B and type B. One was type O and the other was type B. It was absolutely impossible to have other blood types.
In this way, the mystery was solved. Xiao Yang's blood type was type A, which negated any blood relationship. There was no need for a DNA comparison at all. He was not the Lu Yifeng that his family had been searching for.
With this result, Lu Yiwei did not know whether he should be happy or sad. Fortunately, he didn't rashly ask Xiao Yang this question. Sadly, there was still no news of his brother Lu Yifeng. Where was he?
His mother fell seriously ill when she heard the result. The older she got, the more she missed her son. She was not reconciled. If she could not find her lost son in her lifetime, she would not be able to die in peace. But the journey to find relatives was slow, and too many families were exhausted because of this. Fortunately, the Lu family had three children. If it was a single-parent family, it would be a devastating blow.
After his mother recovered, she asked, "Yiwei, I haven't seen Haidong for a long time. What is he busy with?"
When Li Haidong was mentioned, Lu Yiwei said evasively, "Haidong went to the capital. He is busy with business. He will be back during the New Year."
"Oh." Liu Cuilan said worriedly, "Help him when you have time. This poor child has no parents. Since I am his godmother, I have to miss him."
Lu Yiwei felt bad after hearing this. He had never mentioned the coal mine in front of his parents, nor did he mention Haidong's current situation. He did not see Li Haidong in the capital last time, so he asked Li Ermao to ask around. However, Li Haidong did not come home at all. Only Mei Jia's mother was at home. She was looking forward to her grandson's return.
"Okay, got it."
The car accident did not cause too much criticism because Xu Caimao was strict about it. This approach was fully approved by the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee. However, for the victims and the injured, this result was unacceptable.
"Yiwei, come to my office now."
Lu Yiwei was surprised to receive a call from the mayor, Bai Zongfeng. He did not hesitate and rushed to the Municipal Party Committee's compound.
When he entered the door, Bai Zongfeng was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. It was rare to see him so relaxed.
"Come, sit here!" Bai Zongfeng patted the sofa next to him and said with a smile.
As the two were familiar with each other, Lu Yiwei did not stand on ceremony and sat down.
Bai Zongfeng said, "You have been in the administrative committee for some time, right?"
"More than four months."
"Oh." Bai Zongfeng flicked the cigarette ash and said, "I wanted to visit you a long time ago, but I could not find the time. Since I have nothing to do today, I wanted to talk to you and listen to your thoughts."
Lu Yiwei had wanted to talk to him for a long time. "Thank you for your concern, Mayor Bai."
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in. Before he could speak, Bai Zongfeng's face darkened. "Can't you see I have something to do? Let's talk about it later. Go out first."
The secretary was stunned and wanted to say something but hesitated. Before leaving, Bai Zongfeng added, "No matter who is looking for me, tell them I am not here."
After the secretary left, Bai Zongfeng locked the door and came back. "I heard that Zhao Jialin wants to demolish Cai Jiayuan Village. What do you think?"
Lu Yiwei couldn't see Bai Zongfeng's attitude towards this matter from his eyes, so he spoke according to his own thoughts, "Mayor Bai, I have a neutral attitude towards this matter. I neither support nor oppose it."
"What are you talking about? As the director of the administrative committee, don't you have your own opinion?" Bai Zongfeng swept a sharp glance over.
Lu Yiwei spoke the truth. "Mayor Bai, I do not support this project."
"Why?"
Lu Yiwei said, "Whether it is the current economic value or the future production value, the effect is not obvious. Furthermore, from the perspective of the entire city, there is no need for this. It goes against the development of the high-tech zone and the core of economic development. "
"Oh." Bai Zongfeng said thoughtfully. "Nowadays, the real estate industry is in full swing across the country, and the housing prices are rising. In addition, the scale of the city is expanding. I think it will only take a few years to develop into the high-tech zone. Zhao Jialin is preparing for a rainy day, looking to the future, and planning ahead. Do you think this is necessary? "
Lu Yiwei was a little confused. He could not understand Bai Zongfeng's thoughts. Did Zhao Jialin go to the municipal government to complain? He still insisted on his own principles. "Mayor Bai, you are right. The city has been developing rapidly in the past two years. This is the general trend. But what is the difference between the high-tech zone and the other districts? It has a unique ecological environment. If the land is used for real estate development, what is the difference between it and the other districts? "
Bai Zongfeng suddenly laughed and pointed at Lu Yiwei. "Your seriousness is a little like Zhiyuan. No wonder you are his disciple. You have character. Haha."
