The next morning, Chen Xing woke up early and took the earliest 7: 30 am flight to Beiqing. When he arrived, it was already past 10 am. He took a taxi to the city, and Chen Xing rushed to Beiqing Province First Provincial Hospital without stopping.
Ji Qinghui and two staff members had been guarding outside the ICU ward last night. When Chen Xing arrived at the hospital, Ji Qinghui was about to take a nap during lunch. Ji Qinghui was surprised to see Chen Xing. Chen Xing, why are you back so soon?
There's nothing else to do in Beijing. Besides, after what happened to Old He, I can't stay in Beijing anymore. As Chen Xing spoke, he glanced into the ward. At this time, He Qili was wearing an oxygen mask and lying peacefully on the hospital bed. He didn't know how many tubes were inserted into his body, which made people's hearts heavier.
How is Old He's condition now? Chen Xing asked.
In the morning, the doctor went in to check and said that all the indicators were normal, but now was not the time to relax. Ji Qinghui said with a sad expression. According to the doctor, a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at Old He's age, even if he recovered well after the surgery, he would still be left with some physical disabilities that could not be recovered.
This … Chen Xing opened his mouth. When he heard this news, he was speechless.
There was silence. Neither of them spoke. Ji Qinghui didn't sleep the whole night. At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he yawned from time to time. Seeing this, Chen Xing asked with concern. Comrade Qinghui didn't sleep the whole night, right? Do you want to rest for a while?
It's okay, not sleeping for a night is nothing. In the past, when there were big cases, sometimes I didn't sleep for two days and two nights in a row. That was when I could really stand and close my eyes and fall asleep. Ji Qinghui shook his head.
Hearing Ji Qinghui's words, Chen Xing didn't say anything more. He turned to look at the ICU ward. Chen Xing stopped in silence.
In the afternoon, Deputy Secretary Ning will come from Beijing. There will probably be some changes to the person in charge of our group. After all, Old He's current situation can't be left for him to work anymore. Ji Qinghui walked to Chen Xing and said.
It was time to let Old He rest. Chen Xing sighed. He didn't expect that Deputy Secretary Ning Deyan, who was directly in charge of the inspection work, would personally come to Beiqing. However, after thinking about it, it wasn't strange. After all, He Qili was also a well-respected old comrade in the discipline inspection system. This time, he fell ill under such circumstances, so it was normal for the higher-ups to pay attention to it.
Oh right, didn't you inform Old He's family? Why didn't he see Old He's family? Chen Xing looked around and asked curiously.
Old He's wife passed away a few years ago. He has a son and a daughter. His son is engaged in diplomatic work and is often sent abroad. As for his daughter, she went abroad to study and found a foreign husband. Now, she is living abroad. I informed them last night, but I don't think they will come back that fast. Ji Qinghui explained.
I see. I was wondering why I didn't see Old He's family. Chen Xing came to a realization.
After standing with Ji Qinghui for a while, Chen Xing had nothing to do in the hospital and couldn't help much. After talking with Ji Qinghui for a while, he left the hospital. He heard from Ji Qinghui that Yu Zeliang also rushed to the hospital last night, but because there was a case at hand, Yu Zeliang could only go back after a short stay.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Xing directly returned to the inspection team's station. Qin Minghua came over after hearing the news.
Deputy Team Leader Chen, have you been to the hospital? Qin Minghua sat opposite Chen Xing.
I have been there and went straight to the hospital after getting off the plane. Chen Xing's heart was heavy. Now, he could only hope that Old He would survive this crisis.
Sigh, last night, Old He was still exercising in the small courtyard downstairs after dinner. I was standing upstairs and saw him stretching his muscles. Who knew that he would suddenly collapse. At that time, I was stunned and couldn't wrap my head around it. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. Qin Minghua said helplessly.
Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now. No one wants to see something like this happen. Chen Xing waved his hand. He was a little annoyed. More than anyone else, he didn't want anything to happen to He Qili.
Oh right, did Li Yuan say anything else? Chen Xing asked about the case.
This was what Li Yuan had said so far. Every page had his signature at the back. Qin Minghua passed a file in his hand to Chen Xing. He knew that Chen Xing would definitely ask about the case when he came back, so he had already made preparations.
Chen Xing took the file. Li Yuan's case directly involved Yuntian City and even involved a high-ranking official like Ning Shuangqi. Chen Xing had no choice but to pay attention to it. He opened the file and read it carefully.
Do you think there's anything else we can dig out from Li Yuan? Chen Xing asked as he read.
I don't think there's anything else. Li Yuan only contracted the music fountain square project in Yuntian City. What he said should be almost complete. It's not much different from what we have. Qin Minghua said.
Did you ask about his relationship with Liao Jingming? Chen Xing furrowed his brows.
Yes, he did. He only had contact with Liao Jingming because of work. He confessed that he had once given Liao Jingming a box of cash worth five hundred thousand. In the end, he returned it on the spot and was scolded by Liao Jingming. Hence, he bypassed Liao Jingming and only looked for Ning Shuangqi when it came to the project's expenditure and budget.
Heh, that's strange. The report was about Liao Jingming, but the result was that there was something wrong with Ning Shuangqi. Liao Jingming didn't know anything about it. Interesting. Chen Xing said playfully.
It's really interesting. However, there's no doubt that there's something wrong with Ning Shuangqi.
It's not that I doubt Ning Shuangqi. It's just that there's something wrong with this case. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. After thinking for a while, he said, "However, from my contact with Liao Jingming, he's shown a fair and honest side. I just don't know if that's his real side or if he's just putting on a show.
Deputy Team Leader Chen, this shouldn't be within our consideration. Our understanding of local officials is limited. Other than using evidence and facts to speak, it's not good to judge a person.
Yes, you're right. I'm just saying it casually. " Chen Xing smiled. For now, let's focus on Ning Shuangqi's problem.
I also wanted to ask you about this. At this point, should we take any measures against Ning Shuangqi or …? Qin Minghua looked at Chen Xing and asked for his opinion.
Sigh, we can't make the decision on this matter. Now, something like this happened to Old He. Chen Xing frowned. He thought about Ning Deyan coming over in the afternoon. Chen Xing said, "Deputy Secretary Ning will come to Beiqing in the afternoon. I'll report to him then."
Oh, Deputy Secretary Ning is coming over? Qin Minghua's expression changed.
Yes, since something like this happened to Old He, it's natural for the higher-ups to send a representative to show concern. Chen Xing nodded and said.
Then, do we have to make other arrangements for the person in charge of our team? Qin Minghua asked with concern. It was certain that He Qili was no longer suitable for work. Qin Minghua didn't need to think to know that the team leader would be changed. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for their inspection team to carry out their work.
I'm not sure. I'll have to ask Deputy Secretary Ning.
