When Chen Xing walked out of Ge Jian-ming's office, he felt a little helpless. Ge Jian-ming had a big disagreement with him on the petrochemical zone. As for the cancer village, Ge Jian-ming avoided the important point, which made Chen Xing quite disappointed. In essence, cadres like Ge Jian-ming were similar to Li Haocheng.
Chen Xing tried to persuade Ge Jian-ming, but he failed in the end. What's more, Ge Jian-ming was unhappy with him. There was an obvious rift between them. Although Ge Jian-ming changed the topic with the reason that he was concerned about Chen Xing's shock at the shooting scene in the morning, the rift between them had already been formed.
Chen Xing was already mentally prepared for this. It was only a matter of time before there would be a conflict between them. Ge Jian-ming also had an ulterior motive for supporting him before. It was nothing more than treating him as a chess piece in the fight against the local forces. Chen Xing could see through Ge Jian-ming's intention, but he also needed Ge Jian-ming's support. On the basis that it was in line with his own interests, they could make use of each other.
Putting Ge Jian-ming's attitude aside, Chen Xing shook his head in annoyance. It was not easy to be a mayor. If he wanted to do more practical things for the people, it would bring him more trouble.
"Xiao Li, let's go to the hospital." Chen Xing got in the car and ordered Li Yong.
The car drove to the hospital. Chen Xing went to the ward where Lin Hong was. There was only Yan Jun in the ward. Lin Hong's family was nowhere to be seen. Chen Xing felt strange. Was Lin Hong an orphan? No family came to see him after such a big incident.
Mayor Chen came. Lin Hong heard the noise and opened his eyes. Seeing Chen Xing, he struggled to sit up.
"Don't move, don't move. Miss Lin, don't force yourself. You are seriously injured now. Just lie down." Chen Xing rushed forward and stopped Lin Hong from sitting up.
Then I can only be rude to Mayor Chen. Lin Hong forced a smile. If one were to look closely, one would notice that her eyes had lost some of their luster. Today's encounter had undoubtedly given her a huge blow.
Chen Xing pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed. Miss Lin, you should be glad that you survived. Fortunately, the bullet was not in the fatal position. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If he was hit in a fatal spot, he would lose his life. Lin Hong seemed to have expended a lot of energy to finish his sentence. He paused for a while before continuing. If he had died in that kind of situation, it would have been the end of all his troubles. He wouldn't be able to feel anything, and the pain would only last for an instant. After that, he would be completely free.
Huh? Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong in surprise. "Miss Lin, it's not like you to say such words. My impression of you is that you should be full of hope for life. People like you should be eager to live longer than others. Why are you so pessimistic all of a sudden?" Chen Xing thought.
If Mayor Chen has such an impression of me, it means that Mayor Chen doesn't really understand me. Lin Hong revealed a smile. The side of me that I usually show is just a disguise. I am a strong woman. I won't show my weak and negative side to others. Women are always good at disguising themselves.
Your personality is indeed too competitive. Chen Xing nodded in agreement. Lin Hong's character had been strong to the point of being full of ambition. However, looking at Lin Hong at this moment, Chen Xing had an illusion in his heart. Perhaps, Lin Hong's ambition was just to give herself a sense of security. She didn't want her fate to be in the hands of others.
Miss Lin, I think you'd better talk less. The doctor asked you to rest more. Now that you have just finished the operation, your body is at its weakest. It's better to talk less and rest more. Yan Jun's voice rang out untimely. Only he dared to say such words. Others would inevitably think that he was insinuating that Chen Xing was affecting the patient's rest.
It's okay. The bullet didn't kill me. I won't be tired to death by talking a few words. Lin Hong smiled and looked at Yan Jun with an unusual look. Just now, when the nurse came in, she unintentionally said that her husband was so anxious that his eyes turned red and his face was tense. After the operation, he looked better. She said unintentionally, but the listener was interested. The nurse's words made Lin Hong stare at Yan Jun, which made Yan Jun embarrassed. It was not until the nurse left that Yan Jun explained what was going on. The operation form needed to be signed by family members. He couldn't find Lin Hong's family members, so in a hurry, he simply said that it was her husband.
In order to make Lin Hong believe that he didn't deliberately take advantage of Lin Hong, Yan Jun, who was usually cold and silent, explained for the first time with a red face. He stammered, which made Lin Hong laugh.
"Miss Lin, I still suggest that you talk less. Talking also consumes energy. It's okay for normal people, but you, who have just finished a major operation, can't." Yan Jun said stubbornly.
"Okay, I got it. You are really bold as a bodyguard. You even dare to control your employer." Lin Hong smiled and his eyes were full of smiles, which surprised Chen Xing. This was not the woman who made him feel that she was cruel and merciless. Her expression was like … like a young girl in love.
Just when Chen Xing was surprised, Lin Hong suddenly said, "Xiao Yan, you go out first. I have something to talk to Mayor Chen alone."
"Miss Lin." Yan Jun wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He sighed. He just asked Lin Hong to stop talking, but Lin Hong drove him out. Yan Jun couldn't say anything.
Yan Jun went out and closed the door. At this time, Chen Xing said with a smile, "Miss Lin, I feel that you are a little different from before."
"Well, maybe." Lin Hong was stunned for a moment, then laughed at herself mockingly. Anyone who came back from the jaws of death might experience some changes. The things that people used to be stubborn about, after experiencing life and death, they might see through them.
"Then what did Miss Lin see through? "Don't tell me that you have seen through the mortal world and want to become a nun. If so, there will be one less beauty in the mortal world." Chen Xing said half-jokingly. If a woman like Lin Hong suddenly became aloof from worldly affairs, Chen Xing would feel uncomfortable.
"Not to that extent. Instead of becoming a nun, it's better to play in the mortal world." Lin Hong smiled and shook his head. However, fame and wealth were much less important now. "Why do people need so much money?" "If you don't bring it with you when you are born and you don't bring it with you when you die, no matter how much money you have accumulated, you can't bring it with you when you die. Why do you need so much money? It's meaningless to fight for it for the rest of your life."
Hehe, Miss Lin's words really surprised me. I thought that Miss Lin's luck was great this time and that she had managed to escape with her life. It seems that Miss Lin didn't just escape with her life, she also comprehended the true meaning of life. Chen Xing said with a smile.
"No matter what the true meaning of life is, it's just an attitude towards life." Lin Hong looked indifferent. "By the way, Mayor Chen, please bring me the bag on my table."
Chen Xing did as Lin Hong asked and took the bag. "Miss Lin, you can't move now. I can help you find something."
"I do need Mayor Chen's help." Lin Hong smiled at Chen Xing. "There is a small zipper at the bottom of the bag. Mayor Chen, you can open the zipper and take out the thing inside."
Hearing that, Chen Xing did as Lin Hong said and opened the zipper. However, he didn't find anything inside. He reached in and felt for a while. When he was about to ask Lin Hong, he suddenly took out a small thing. When he took it out, it turned out to be a small button. When Chen Xing took a closer look, his pupils shrank slightly. If he took a closer look, he could see that it was not a real button. It should be a miniature electronic device.
"What is this?" Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong.
"This is the most secret button camera in the world. It has the functions of recording, video, and taking photos. This one is for Mayor Chen." Lin Hong said with a smile.
"For me?" Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong in confusion.
"Yes, for Mayor Chen." Lin Hong nodded. Surprisingly, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes. "Mayor Chen, in fact, every time I meet you, I record our voices. I have more than one recording device with me. The one you found the first time was just a recording device. I told you later that I didn't have another one, but in fact, I lied to you. I'm used to leaving a way out for myself. Only in this way can I really feel safe."
"I didn't expect that I would still be tricked by you. I even believed your sincerity later. It seems that women's words can never be trusted." Chen Xing stared at Lin Hong and was extremely shocked. No matter how careful he was, he was still tricked by Lin Hong, and he didn't realize it at all. He thought that Lin Hong really showed her sincerity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given him all the evidence later.
"No, Mayor Chen, you misunderstood me. I really want to cooperate with Mayor Chen sincerely. I did this just to prepare a way out for myself. I didn't want to trick you behind your back." Lin Hong shook her head. "If I wanted to trick Mayor Chen, I wouldn't have given you this thing."
"You sewed this thing on your clothes before?" Chen Xing played with the small button in his hand. He knew that technology was very advanced, and he also knew that there was such a micro-device, but it was the first time he saw it.
Sort of, but it wasn't on my jacket. Mayor Chen probably didn't know, but the bras I wore were all buttoned at the front. The button was sewn on the top, and it was used as a button. Anyone who saw it would think it was a bra button. Lin Hong said with a smile.
"No wonder." Chen Xing shook his head with a bitter smile. "No matter how careful I am, I can't avoid falling into your trap. At that time, I can't really take off your clothes. Even if I did, you might not find out."
"That's right. That's why Mayor Chen must be more careful when dealing with women who are as ambitious and unscrupulous as me in the future. He would rather be a lowly person than let his guard down. As long as you don't have those messy thoughts in your mind, it doesn't matter if you ask the other party to take off her clothes." Lin Hong raised his head and looked at Chen Xing. "But then again, if Mayor Chen really asked me to take off my clothes at that time, maybe we would have sex. You men, when you see a woman take off her clothes, who will pay attention to the buttons?"
"It's impossible to guard against it." Chen Xing sighed with emotion. He stared at Lin Hong for a while and said, "Miss Lin, you are confessing to me and even gave me the thing. Aren't you worried?"
"Worried?" Lin Hong smiled. "Will Mayor Chen hit me when I'm down in the future?" "If Mayor Chen is that kind of person, then I will admit defeat and blame myself for not being good at judging people."
"You are a person with no sense of security, which means that you don't trust others. To be honest, I am very surprised that you gave me such a life-saving thing." Chen Xing told the truth.
If I don't have ambition and desire, then I have nothing to be afraid of. " Lin Hong said calmly. "This experience made me understand that there are many things in life that I should cherish. Money isn't the most important thing. No matter how much money you have, it doesn't mean that you will feel safe. When the bullet hit my chest, it was like a movie was playing in my mind. I suddenly understood a lot. What I pursued wasn't what I really wanted. It was just my twisted obsession. Now, I should live my life seriously."
