Two days later.
Morning. Sunny.
Meihe City. Hospital compound.
The nurse, who had been taking care of Dong Xuebing, pushed him around the small garden to let him bask in the sun. Dong Xuebing sat in the wheelchair happily. His body is still covered in bandages, but the bandages are much lighter than two days ago. Also, he is wearing a patient's gown, and it's hard to tell. Dong Xuebing can feel the bulge under his clothes, and he looks fatter than usual.
"Mayor Dong, are you feeling better today?"
"Much better, but my wound is still itchy."
"That's normal. That means my wound is healing."
"I can move my legs now. Do you want to help me walk a few steps?"
"Ah … I can't. This is a fracture, and you will not be able to move for a few months."
"I am in good health, and it will only take a few months. Can you lift your right hand now?"
"You can't. It might not be a problem if you move it, but it might relapse if you put too much force on it."
"Alright, alright. Haha … I am just joking with you. It's so comfortable to sit in a wheelchair, and I can't even be bothered to move. Let's walk around."
"You really know how to order me around."
"Haha … Thank you for these two days."
"Don't mention it. Hehe … You are an Executive Deputy Mayor at such a young age, and I will try my best to please you. Maybe I will need your help in the future."
"Sure, but I have to remind you that I'm now the public enemy of the city. Everyone wants me to get out of here as soon as possible. If you get too close to me, I might implicate you."
"Hehe … I am not afraid. I am just a nurse. Who will look for trouble with me?"
As Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing chatted, a black Land Rover entered the hospital compound and stopped downstairs.
Dong Xuebing was stunned and asked the nurse to push him over. This is his car.
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei alighted from the car and walked over to welcome Dong Xuebing.
"Mayor Dong."
"You all are still here?"
"No. Mayor Jiang is still here too."
"Didn't they say they had gone back?"
"Only Secretary Meng and Secretary Yao went back. Mayor Jiang had a meeting with the City Government yesterday, and it was already night after the meeting. So, he didn't leave. Old Chen and I also wanted to stay to accompany you."
"Thank you all for your concern." Dong Xuebing looks at them. "Oh, is the money ready?"
Yan Yizhi smiled. "I'm coming down."
"… How much?"
"46 million."
"En, that's good."
"Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang also said that it's all thanks to you this time."
"Hehe, I don't dare to claim credit. It's everyone's credit."
"You're too humble. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't even be able to get the ten million back."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We've gotten the money back. Let's get ready to go back to the county."
"Alright, shall we contact the hospital and ask for an ambulance?"
"No need. Don't we have a car? You can take my car back. "
…
Upstairs.
In the ward.
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei helped Dong Xuebing pack his luggage.
Dong Xuebing was not sure if the City Government had informed the hospital, but when the hospital heard Dong Xuebing wanted to be transferred back to the County, they immediately helped him with the paperwork. Dong Xuebing also rejected the idea of using an ambulance to send him back to the County, and the Third Hospital gave him a full body checkup. Dong Xuebing is in high demand now, and if anything happens to him in the City, it will affect the reputation of the city. If Dong Xuebing's condition worsened because of his injuries, Xin Hua News Agency will report this to the City Government. Even the City's leaders will not be able to handle this, and many people will be fired from their positions.
The results are out.
Dong Xuebing's condition had stabilized, but he will need at least a hundred days to recover from his broken bones.
… …
Noon.
Lunch is over.
"Old Yan, are you done?"
"I'm done packing."
"Thank you. Let's go."
"Ok. Take care to get off the bed."
As Dong Xuebing was about to leave, the ward's door opened, and a group of people entered.
The first to enter is Party Secretary Meng's secretary, Zhang Feng. He had just arrived in the morning and should be here to fetch Dong Xuebing back. This should be instructions from Party Secretary Meng. Dong Xuebing had made great contributions, and Meng Rui cannot come to fetch him. That's why he sent his secretary to fetch Dong Xuebing. After that, the rest of the people who entered the ward were the City Government's leaders, staff, and even a leader from the hospital. It was a big group of people.
"Mayor Dong." That leader greeted.
"Hello." Dong Xuebing nodded at him.
"I heard you are going back, and the leader had asked us to send you off."
"Oh, thank you very much, and thank you for your kindness and concern, City Leader."
"It's fine as long as you are fine."
"I'm much better now. Thank you, everyone. Please go back. Work is quite busy, and I'm quite embarrassed. I really can't take it."
"Haha, it's fine. We will send you off."
Chen Xiaomei pushed Dong Xuebing's wheelchair out of the ward, followed by Yan Yizhi and Zhang Feng.
Behind them, about twenty people followed and chatted with Dong Xuebing from time to time. Those who don't know Dong Xuebing might think he is some high ranking leader. Even Provincial Leaders do not have such a large entourage. But those who knew what was going on knew that these people from the City Government are not here to send Dong Xuebing off because they care about him. They are here to send Dong Xuebing off as soon as possible. The earlier they send him off, the calmer they will be. This will prevent Dong Xuebing from thinking about other things! Many people in the City know Dong Xuebing's temper and work style. They know he is not afraid of anything! If they don't see Dong Xuebing leave, they will not be at ease. That's why they sent people to send him off.
Dong Xuebing is a bomb.
But now, he is finally leaving!
Downstairs, the leader from the City Government bid farewell to Dong Xuebing and reminded him to take care of his health. But in his heart, he was cursing Dong Xuebing in his heart. He wants Dong Xuebing to leave as soon as possible. Anyway, those who had met Dong Xuebing for the past two days will never want to see him again.
Bad mouthing … …
Not following the rules … …
Making things difficult for others … …
Using his injuries to threaten others … …
In the end, he even dares to steal from the City Government … …
Although these people are not the higher-ups or leaders, they had worked in the City for many years and had been in the government for more than 20 years. They are experienced and had seen many people. But this is the first time they met a shameless hooligan like Dong Xuebing!
