Qin Shouzheng hung up the phone and dialed another number, but the phone still indicated that the other party's phone was turned off. Qin Shouzheng was unwilling to give up, so he hung up and dialed again. He dialed again and again. After dialing for god knows how many times, Qin Shouzheng finally gave up. Before he called his father, Qin Shouzheng had already dialed this number, but the other party's phone was also turned off. Qin Shouzheng did not care about it and hurriedly called his father to ask about the matter of Chen Xing being shot. His face was full of joy, and he thought to himself, "This is retribution for Chen Xing, who will not have a good ending for meddling in other people's business."
However, Qin Jianhui unintentionally asked him if this matter had anything to do with him. When Qin Shouzheng nonchalantly said that it had nothing to do with him, he himself said that if he was the one who did it, he would have run away long ago. This sentence came without any warning and immediately touched Qin Shouzheng's nerves. When Qin Shouzheng repeatedly dialed the woman's number at this time, but he could not get through, the ominous feeling in Qin Shouzheng's heart became stronger and stronger. He held the phone in a daze and shook his head. "Impossible, definitely impossible. I only asked her to find someone to teach Chen Xing a lesson. Even if she had ten times more courage, she would not dare to do that."
Qin Shouzheng comforted himself and rushed out of the room in a hurry. After getting into the car, he sped to the woman's residence. He knew where the woman lived and where she worked. Now that he could not reach her by phone, Qin Shouzheng could only go there personally to look for her.
When Zhang Guozhong and the others alighted from the plane, Li Baoquan hurriedly went forward to welcome them. Li Baoquan did not dare to slight Zhang Guozhong at all. Zhang Guozhong did not mix around in the system, but compared to Zhang Guohua, the third son of the Zhang family who had already become a provincial governor, Zhang Guozhong was sometimes more of a taboo. The older generation of the Red Faction in Beijing, who was similar to Zhang Guohua's age, would always give him a thumbs up when mentioning him, regardless of whether they were hostile or friendly.
The story could be traced back to that unbearable period of time. It was unknown how many elders had been defeated, and many of the young Red descendants had been implicated as well. Most of them had been exiled to the underworld. During that period, the Red Imps had wreaked havoc. Even the descendants of the founding fathers of the country had to keep quiet out of fear when faced with the crazy Red Imps. There were not many who dared to stand out, much less fight against the Red Imps. The 20-year-old Zhang Guozhong just happened to have the guts to lead people to beat up a group of Red Imps.
Of course, that incident also had a huge impact. Zhang Guozhong was almost killed by the Red Imps as the leader of the rebels. If it was not for that unbending old man saying that he wanted to preserve the spark of the revolution, Zhang Guozhong was released. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether the second son of the Zhang family would still exist.
In any case, that was all in the past. No matter how awesome those turbulent times were, they were all in the past. Zhang Guozhong was now an old man in his sixties. His fiery temper had changed a lot, and the passage of time had undoubtedly made Zhang Guozhong more dignified. However, those who were familiar with the second son of the Zhang family knew that this fellow did not easily lose his temper, but once he did, it would be out of control.
Li Baoquan was a general who had walked out of the Third Division that the old man of the Zhang family had once led. The Zhang family tag on him could not be more obvious. This was just a microcosm of the Zhang family's military power. At this moment, Li Baoquan had personally come to the airport to pick them up.
Baoquan, let's not delay any longer. We'll go to the hospital now. Zhang Guozhong glanced at his anxious niece, then turned to Li Baoquan beside him and said calmly.
Alright, let's go now. Li Baoquan nodded and gave the order to the driver. Two Audi cars with East K Army plates drove out of the military airport and went straight to the First Hospital of Dongzhou City.
On the way to the hospital, Zhang Ningning finally received some good news. Chen Xing had been pushed out of the emergency room. The place where he had been shot was not a fatal part. Coupled with the fact that he had been sent to the hospital in time, he was now out of danger. Upon receiving this news, Zhang Ningning finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the person was fine. Injuries could always be healed.
Ningning, you can rest assured now, right? Zhang Guozhong said with a smile. His precious niece's heart had been hanging all the way here. Now, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Oh right, give your dad a call and tell him to rest assured as well.
Now that Chen Xing had been rescued, not only did the Zhang family breathe a sigh of relief, but the people of Eastern University, the leaders of the Eastern Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, and the people of the Municipal Public Security Bureau all breathed a sigh of relief. Among them, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Niu Xingping, was the most nervous. The shooting that happened in the downtown area of Dongzhou City was too abominable. Furthermore, the person who was shot was a deputy level official from a ministry. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was appalling.
As the provincial capital of Dongjiang Province, Dongzhou City had always been known for its good public security. A few days ago, the Eastern Municipal Public Security Bureau released last year's public security report. All kinds of crimes had dropped significantly compared to the previous year. The public's satisfaction with public security was growing. Today's shooting was like a slap in the face to the Eastern Municipal Public Security Bureau. If Chen Xing, the deputy director, were to die, Niu Xingping, the director of the Public Security Bureau, would probably have to take the blame and resign. The government would eventually have to find a scapegoat.
Director Chen's life was no longer in danger. This was a blessing. The next priority was to capture the criminal. After this incident, even the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial government were concerned. Comrade Xingping, your task is very difficult. If the criminal were to escape, not only would the Municipal Public Security Bureau lose face, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government would not be able to answer to the higher-ups. Liu Jianchuan, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said to Niu Xingping.
Secretary Liu, don't worry. Solving this vicious shooting case is the top priority of our Public Security Bureau. The police force in the city has been mobilized as soon as possible. We must do our best to catch the criminal and bring him to justice. At this time, Niu Xingping could only bite the bullet and make a statement. Dongzhou City was the base of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial government. If something big happened, not only would the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government be watching, but the leaders of the Provincial Government would also be paying attention. Niu Xingping was under a lot of pressure. He did not dare to say when the case would be solved. He could only say that he would try his best, for fear of embarrassing himself.
The leaders of the Municipal Government were concerned about the problem of solving the case. Eastern University, headed by Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Party Committee, breathed a sigh of relief and did not say anything more. After all, solving the case was a matter for the police. If the Municipal Government was involved, it was not up to the people of their university to interfere. Qin Jianhui was too lazy to pay attention to this matter. Now that Chen Xing was injured, Qin Jianhui was also relieved. He was even a little happy in his heart, thinking that this was even better. Chen Xing was injured, so he could no longer be troubled. He wished that Chen Xing and the rest of the people in the department could leave quickly, but Chen Xing insisted on staying for a few more days. Originally, it was a headache for him. Now that Chen Xing was shot, he was out of danger. However, it was necessary for him to stay in bed to recuperate. For Qin Jianhui, this was the best result.
Qin Jianhui thought to himself, who would shoot Chen Xing from the back? Was it accidental injury or premeditated? Qin Jianhui pondered for a while, but he didn't want to think too much about it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. Whether it was accidental injury or premeditated, the heavy responsibility of solving the case lay with the Public Security Bureau. It had nothing to do with him as the Party Secretary of Eastern University. The important thing was that Chen Xing was not shot in Eastern University. Moreover, he came out in the afternoon under his own name, so the possibility of this matter being blamed on him was slim. Moreover, he had connections in the province. Qin Jianhui wasn't worried that this matter would affect him in any way. On the contrary, he was secretly happy that Chen Xing had to lie down quietly.
Glancing at the female student on the other side, Qin Jianhui now knew that Chen Xing came out at noon to see the female student. This was not good news for Qin Jianhui. He also told Jiang Dongjin to keep an eye on the female student. Just now, everyone was anxiously waiting for the news of Chen Xing's rescue, so he didn't have time to care about the little girl. Now that everything was fine, Qin Jianhui's attention fell on the little girl again. He called Jiang Dongjin to his side and whispered in his ear. Qin Jianhui asked him to bring the little girl back to school and make sure to find out why the girl met Chen Xing and what they talked about.
When the two Audi military vehicles arrived at the First Hospital, they happened to bump into Liu Jianchuan, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zeng Fengfa, Qin Jianhui, and Wu Gubo walking out of the hospital. Li Baoquan, the commander of the Provincial Military Area Command, accompanied Zhang Guozhong and the other two to the hospital and happened to bump into Liu Jianchuan and the others. Both Liu Jianchuan and Zeng Fengfa recognized Li Baoquan, the commander of the Provincial Military Area Command. Seeing him here, both of them were surprised and quickly walked up to greet him.
Well … Li Baoquan nodded. He had a little impression of Liu Jianchuan and Ceng Kaifa, but not much. He was more familiar with Luo Weizheng, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Luo Weizheng was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Li Baoquan had met Luo Weizheng many times at the Standing Committee meetings of the Provincial Party Committee, so he was no stranger to him. As for Liu Jianchuan and Ceng Kaifa, he had only met them a few times at the activities of the local leaders of Dongzhou City. Obviously, the two of them were not qualified for him to go out of his way to make friends with them.
Why did Commander Li come to the hospital? Liu Jianchuan's eyes quickly swept across the people next to Li Baoquan, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. From the posture in front of him, it could be seen that Li Baoquan was completely accompanying the three people in front of him, playing the role of a guide. One could imagine the impact of this discovery on Liu Jianchuan, and the shock he received was not small.
Is there any progress in the investigation of the shooting case that just happened in Dongzhou City? Li Baoquan did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he asked about the shooting case, which was actually for Zhang Guozhong and the other two to hear.
The city had just ordered the Public Security Bureau to fully investigate the case. It was still under investigation, and it was believed that there would be clues soon. Liu Jianchuan was slightly startled. As a military leader, Li Baoquan was concerned about this matter, which was quite surprising.
What do you mean by very soon? Is there no set date for solving the case? If the case is not solved in a long time, shouldn't you keep saying that the case is solved soon? Zhang Guozhong frowned and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Guozhong's words were merciless, and it made Liu Jianchuan, who spoke just now, very embarrassed. Although he was only the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, there was a bracket (main hall) behind his title. No matter what, he was still a main hall level cadre. Now that he was refuted by a stranger, it would be strange if he could keep his face. Looking at Zhang Guozhong, Liu Jianchuan was slightly startled and did not refute for a moment. Just because Li Baoquan was standing beside this person, Liu Jianchuan did not dare to respond carelessly. Before figuring out the identity of this person, he could only swallow his anger.
Second Uncle, let's go in first. Don't waste time. Zhang Ningning, who had been silent all this while, spoke up.
Alright, let's go in first. Zhang Guozhong immediately smiled kindly. He did not care about saying anything more to Liu Jianchuan and the others, and walked in with Zhang Ningning. It was more important to take a look at the person first.
Li Baoquan only glanced at Liu Jianchuan and Zeng Weifa, then turned around and walked in. These two were not good enough to deal with him. Let Luo Weizheng do it.
Tsk, what kind of person was that just now? Liu Jianchuan looked at the backs of Zhang Guozhong and Li Baoquan. At this time, he smacked his lips and was quite resentful. As the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he was ruthlessly slapped in the face.
If Commander Li Baoquan personally accompanied him, he must not be too bad. Executive Deputy Mayor Zeng Weifa said with a serious face, trying not to laugh out loud. He and Liu Jianchuan were not the same kind of people. Seeing Liu Jianchuan suffer in the hands of an unknown person, Zeng Weifa was very happy, but he could not show it.
As the two spoke, they also looked at Zhang Guozhong and Li Baoquan. Logically speaking, they should follow them, but Li Baoquan's attitude was neither cold nor warm. They did not know why Li Baoquan came to the hospital. If it was a private matter, it would be improper for them to follow him, and they might even be disliked.
Therefore, at this moment, both Liu Jianchuan and Zeng Weifa wisely chose to stay where they were. Someone would naturally report to them which ward Li Baoquan went to later. It would not be too late for them to figure it out before leaving.
Not long after, a staff member hurried over. When Liu Jianchuan, Zeng Weifa, and the others heard that Li Baoquan actually took the three people to Chen Xing's ward, they were all surprised and turned back without saying anything. Since Li Baoquan and the three people were going to see Chen Xing, it was completely necessary for them to go.
Chen Xing's ward became crowded again. Chen Xing, who had just been pushed out of the emergency room, was only a little pale at this time, but he was still in good spirits. When he saw Zhang Ningning suddenly appear at the door, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then a sincere smile bloomed on his face. Why did you come so quickly?
Wasn't it because I wanted to see you quickly? You almost scared me to death. Zhang Ningning rushed to the bedside, and finally couldn't help crying. His heart was filled with lingering fear. Don't scare me like this in the future.
Don't worry, there won't be a next time. This time, I don't know which wicked person dared to shoot me from the back and almost killed me. It must be my wife who has been praying for me, so that I can escape the disaster. Chen Xing smiled and gently held Zhang Ningning's hand. The conversation between the husband and wife was simple and a little humorous, but full of warmth.
Lin Yupei and the other three people who came from the ministry were originally in the ward. From the surprise when they saw Zhang Ningning suddenly appear to the realization now, they now understood that this unreasonably beautiful woman in front of them was actually Chen Xing's wife. Lin Yupei's eyes were the most surprised. For a long time, no one knew whether Chen Xing was married or not. At this time, seeing that Chen Xing's wife was as beautiful as a fairy, Lin Yupei couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in her heart.
She was already injured, but she still dared to be talkative. Zhang Ningning smiled through his tears and rolled his eyes at Chen Xing. He looked back and smiled charmingly, and the whole ward seemed to be brightened.
Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Ming, father and son, walked over. Chen Xing struggled to sit up and greet Zhang Guozhong. Zhang Guozhong laughed and scolded him, "Boy, just lie down now. Don't try to be brave.
I just got a little injury, and Second Uncle, I'm really sorry to trouble you to come here. " Chen Xing didn't force himself and lay down again. There were still a lot of tubes inserted in his body, so it was not suitable for him to sit up.
"Hey, you got shot and it's a little injury. What is a big injury? It seems that your skin is also very hard." Zhang Guozhong smiled and shook his head. "I should come to see you. You've already called me Second Uncle. If I didn't come to see you, Zhang Ningning might give me a hard time later."
"Chen Xing, I say, what happened to you this time? Didn't you come to Eastern University for business? You shouldn't have offended anyone, right? How did you get shot?" Zhang Ming stood behind his father. His mouth was crooked to one side. "It can't be an accidental injury, right?"
"This matter …" Chen Xing was about to speak when he saw another group of people coming in through the door. It was Liu Jianchuan and Zeng Fanyi, who had returned. Qin Jianhui, Wu Gubo, and other people from Eastern University were also there. Chen Xing immediately shut his mouth.
When Liu Jianchuan and the others came in, the first thing they did was to greet Li Baoquan, Commander Li.
Li Baoquan only nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. Liu Jianchuan and the others didn't know what to say. At this moment, Zhang Guozhong spoke up. "This shooting case, has the Eastern State's local authority set a time limit for solving it?"
Zhang Guozhong's words were not directed to any specific person. His eyes were fixed on Liu Jianchuan and the others. Without a doubt, he wanted to represent the Eastern State Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to give an answer. Liu Jianchuan and Zeng Fanyi looked at each other, then Liu Jianchuan stood up. Looking at Zhang Guozhong, who was sitting there like a leader asking questions, Liu Jianchuan's heart was filled with disgust. He didn't know Zhang Guozhong's identity, but with Li Baoquan watching from the side, he couldn't ignore him. He could only reply, "The city has ordered the Public Security Bureau to solve the case as soon as possible and will do their best to capture the murderer."
"Don't talk to me about this nonsense. Do your best? Is that okay or not? " "I want to hear the exact time. Are you trying to fool me with official words? Do you think this old man is easy to fool?" Zhang Guozhong's eyes widened.
"F * ck, who the hell is this person?" Liu Jianchuan was furious. He had never been reprimanded like this before. If the other party was a provincial leader, Liu Jianchuan would have accepted it. But he wasn't. Who knew where this old man came from. If it wasn't for Li Baoquan, this old man wouldn't even have time to pee. Liu Jianchuan thought to himself. His face was expressionless, replying dryly. With such a vicious case, the city would definitely urge the Public Security Bureau to do their best to solve it. But as for when the case would be solved, no one could guarantee it.
"I'm not asking you to guarantee it. I want to see your determination. You don't even have the determination to set a time limit for solving the case, and you still want to catch the murderer? Do you think I'm stupid enough to stay where I am and let you catch me?" Zhang Guozhong curled his lips.
Liu Jianchuan looked at Li Baoquan, then looked at Zhang Guozhong. He was helpless. Today, he was bullied for no reason, but he couldn't vent it out. That old man was sitting arrogantly, while Li Baoquan, the Provincial Military Commander, was standing at the side. He even acted as if it was only natural. No matter how angry Liu Jianchuan was, he had to endure it. But even though he endured it, Liu Jianchuan was still very unhappy with Zhang Guozhong's rude and unreasonable attitude. He glanced at the Public Security Bureau Chief Niu Xingping, signaling him to stand up.
Niu Xingping was already angry. He was about to stand up and speak when Zhang Guozhong swept his eyes across them and waved his hand. "Since your Dongzhou City cannot give me an answer, then I will look for Duan Guorong. I want to ask Duan Guorong how to handle this matter. A dignified deputy level official of the country was shot under the nose of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial government. If Duan Guorong can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will directly transfer people from the Ministry to handle the case."
