Zhang Lixing was dumbfounded. After a while, he asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Mayor Zhang, a living person has woken up. How could I be wrong? The doctor came to check just now and called Li Yanpei's daughter out alone. I don't know what to say. Besides, Secretary Chen has also come. " Jiang Dongming said on the phone.
"Chen Xing has gone there?" Zhang Lixing's face changed again.
"Yes, he just arrived. Li Ying called him." Jiang Dongming nodded.
Zhang Lixing was in a daze with the phone in his hand. He was sober, but his mind was blank at the moment. After a long time, Zhang Lixing didn't notice whether Jiang Dongming had hung up the phone or not. He unconsciously said, "I got it."
Zhang Lixing hung up the phone and looked at the others. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhang Lixing was in a trance for a moment. Thinking that everyone was toasting and smiling brightly, Zhang Lixing suddenly had a feeling that extreme joy turned to sorrow.
"Lixing, what's going on? Who called?" Lin Siwei looked at Zhang Lixing doubtfully and asked.
"Li Yanpei's secretary called. Li Yanpei has woken up." Zhang Lixing said in a low voice.
"Li Yanpei has woken up? Impossible. Didn't he become a vegetable? How could he wake up? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Who the hell would make such a joke? " As soon as Qian Xinlai heard Zhang Lixing's words, he pounded the table and stood up. But his face changed dramatically, just like Zhang Lixing's.
The room fell into a more terrible silence than before. Everyone looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes. The joy just now had long disappeared.
Zhang Lixing was silent, and his face kept changing. He glanced at the people present one by one. When he saw their frightened faces, Zhang Lixing suddenly laughed. "What are you doing? Look at your tense faces. Even if the sky falls, you shouldn't be like this. "
As Zhang Lixing spoke, he laughed to himself. "Oh, Li Yanpei has woken up. It's really incredible. How could a vegetable wake up? For such a miracle to happen to him, this Li Yanpei is really lucky. After a serious car accident, he was lucky enough to survive. Even after becoming a vegetable, he was still able to wake up. We have to admit that this Li Yanpei is a lucky person. Look at how tough his life is. We have to be happy for him.
After Zhang Lixing finished, he laughed again. "It's a good thing that Li Yanpei has woken up. Why do you all look so serious?"
"That's right. Li Yanpei is really lucky to have survived that accident. It's a good thing that he can wake up now. We're all colleagues who have worked together, so we should be happy for him." Lin Siwei quickly echoed Zhang Lixing's words with a smile.
Yes, yes, it was an accident. Yang Hongchao said with a face full of smiles. The private room was soon filled with laughter. Everyone was laughing, but behind the smiles, there was a sense of guilt.
Even a vegetable could wake up? Did Li Yanpei's secretary make a mistake? Qian Xinlai was still doubtful.
Since he had called, there must be no mistake. The smile on Zhang Lixing's face gradually disappeared. According to Zhang Lixing, even Chen Xing had passed, so it couldn't be wrong.
Chen Xing went there? Lin Siwei frowned. Secretary Chen had just come to Mountain Gaze, but he had gone to the hospital many times. It seemed that he was very concerned about Li Yanpei.
There was no point in discussing this now. I had to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Zhang Lixing said in a deep voice.
Li Xing, I'll go with you. Lin Siwei also stood up.
Elder Lin, forget it. Don't go over first. It's not good for us to go over together. Zhang Lixing shook his head and said.
Lin Siwei listened to Zhang Lixing's words and thought for a moment. Zhang Lixing was right. If they went over together, it would be easy for others to think of something. It was better to pretend that he didn't know anything for the time being.
"I'll go over first and tell you what happened." Zhang Lixing said as he walked out.
Liang Jing also left with Zhang Lixing. When they reached the hotel, Liang Jing asked, "Mayor, I want to go with you."
"Forget it. You don't have to." Zhang Lixing looked at Liang Jing. He had drunk a few glasses of wine in the evening, and his face was slightly flushed, which made him look more attractive. Just now, he was a little eager to go to Liang Jing's house at night, but now he was not in the mood to think about that. He waved his hand and said, "You go back first."
After talking to Liang Jing, Zhang Lixing hurriedly got into the car and told the driver to go to the hospital. Zhang Lixing's face was gloomy all the way. He had pretended to be relaxed in the hotel just to comfort others. He was not as relaxed as he looked.
In the hospital, the doctor in charge of Li Yanpei was telling Li Ying about Li Yanpei's situation. "Miss Li, first of all, I should congratulate you. Secretary Li has woken up in such a short time. This is a medical miracle. It's incredible."
"I know. I just want to know how my father is now." Li Ying interrupted him. Just now, she saw the two doctors whispering something while checking her father's situation. They didn't look relaxed, which made Li Ying feel a little worried.
"Your father has woken up, but maybe because of the damage to his brain, his IQ is not very normal now. Just now, I used my fingers to gesture a few numbers in front of him, and he was a little confused. Now, Secretary Li may have another problem. His memory may not be complete." The other brain doctor said.
"Memory is not complete?" "What does that mean?" Li Ying's face changed.
"It means that your father may have lost his memory." The brain doctor said. "Of course, tomorrow we will arrange a more detailed examination for your father, and then we can make a conclusion. Now I just want to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared."
"You mean that my father is not only mentally damaged, but also has lost his memory, right?" Li Ying's body softened, and she almost collapsed to the ground. After great joy came great sorrow. This was the most true portrayal of her mood at the moment.
"Now it seems to be so, but don't be too pessimistic. Maybe a miracle will happen again. After all, your father has become a vegetable, but he can still wake up. This is already a medical miracle. Maybe there will be more miracles." The brain doctor said.
Li Ying walked out of the doctor's duty room with a dejected expression. She no longer paid attention to what the other party said, nor could she hear it. In her opinion, the doctor's words were just comforting words.
When she walked back into the ward, Li Ying saw Chen Xing, her mother, and the others standing beside the bed. Her father was lying on the bed. His eyes were wide open and seemed to be filled with unease and fear. He was sizing up the people in the ward. Even when he saw her, there was no change in his expression. It was as though he was looking at a stranger.
"Dad, do you still recognize me?" Li Ying quickly walked over, holding onto the last trace of disappointment in her heart, but in the end, she was still disappointed. Li Yanpei's eyes fell on her body, and quickly moved away, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity.
"Dad, I'm Xiao Ying, do you really not recognize me?" Li Ying said anxiously.
You … Who are you? Li Yanpei stared at Li Ying, his body subconsciously shrinking back. Li Ying's appearance scared him, and his voice was also a little shaky. After lying on the bed for more than twenty days without speaking, Li Yanpei was still not used to it.
Xiao Ying, what exactly is the doctor talking about? Why doesn't your dad seem to recognize us anymore? Cai Yalan asked anxiously. The moment the doctor left, when she was talking to her husband, she felt that her husband was acting strangely. He looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger.
Chen Xing's gaze also landed on Li Ying. He also urgently wanted to know what was going on with Li Yanpei. He had woken up, but he seemed to be a little abnormal right now.
Inside the ward, Jiang Dongming stood at the end of the bed and also stared at Li Ying. There was a trace of unease and anxiety in the depths of his eyes.
The doctor said that Father might have lost his memory, and … Furthermore … Li Ying clenched his teeth, unable to bear to say it out loud.
And what? Cai Yalan said anxiously. Xiao Ying, hurry up and say it.
And it might be because of the damage to his nerves that his intelligence would be a little abnormal.
Amnesia? Abnormal intelligence? Cai Yalan muttered, her face pale.
How could this be? Why was the Secretary's life so bad? He got into a car accident, and now that he had woken up, it was like this. Did the heavens have eyes? Why did they let a good person like the Secretary suffer like this? Jiang Dongming said sorrowfully.
In the ward, it was a little quiet. Chen Xing frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had waited for the good news of Li Yanpei waking up, but he didn't expect this kind of result. Chen Xing didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
No matter what, comrade Yan Pei still woke up. This is the best thing. It's better than lying like a living dead, right? We should still be happy for him. Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Chen Xing comforted them. Moreover, don't you think that comrade Yan Pei waking up is the biggest miracle? If such a miracle can happen, there might be other miracles in the future, right?
Yes, there will definitely be another miracle. Li Ying nodded her head vigorously, encouraging herself and comforting herself. She looked at her mother and said, "Mom, we should be happy now. Didn't we always say that as long as my father could wake up, it would be the best thing? Now that my father has woken up, why should we be sad?"
Cai Yalan smiled bitterly. Although that was what she said, people were always greedy. Since her husband had woken up, who wouldn't hope that everything would be fine? Now that there were other problems, it would be strange if her mood wasn't affected.
There were hurried footsteps outside the ward. Chen Xing turned his head and saw Zhang Lixing's figure appear at the door.
Secretary Chen. As soon as Zhang Lixing came in, he saw Chen Xing and greeted him. His eyes were impatient as he looked at the bed and stared at Li Yanpei.
Comrade Lixing also came. Chen Xing nodded his head and looked at Li Ying. There was a questioning look in his eyes. Was Zhang Lixing also informed by the other party?
Li Ying seemed to understand what Chen Xing meant. She shook her head gently. She wasn't familiar with Zhang Lixing at all. Why would she inform him?
"I heard that comrade Yan Pei woke up, so I rushed over to take a look. This is a great thing. Comrade Yan Pei is blessed and has a good life. I knew that God would protect him." Zhang Lixing looked at Li Yanpei on the bed with a smile on his face. When he saw that Li Yanpei was also looking at him, Zhang Lixing's eyes avoided his and he felt a little guilty.
"Comrade Yan Pei, you just woke up. Do you feel uncomfortable?" Zhang Lixing kept his face calm and said with concern with a smile.
"Who are you?" Li Yanpei looked at the people in front of him with fear in his eyes. All the faces in front of him were unfamiliar, which made him at a loss.
"I am Lixing. Comrade Yan Pei, don't you recognize me?" Zhang Lixing was stunned and looked at Li Yanpei with his eyes wide open.
"Comrade Lixing, comrade Yan Pei may have lost his memory and doesn't know who you are." Chen Xing said at this time.
"Lost … memory?" "How could this be?" Zhang Lixing stuttered and his face was full of shock. This time, Zhang Lixing wasn't pretending. He was really surprised, but a trace of ecstasy grew quietly in his heart along with this shock.
"Maybe his head was hit before, which caused his brain to be damaged." Chen Xing sighed. He was not a professional doctor and couldn't give a professional opinion. However, when he saw Li Yanpei's appearance, Chen Xing also felt a little lost.
Zhang Lixing stood silently and looked at Li Yanpei on the bed. He opened his mouth several times and closed it again and again, sighing and groaning.
After standing in the ward for a few minutes, Chen Xing left the ward. Seeing this, Zhang Lixing also followed him out. Outside the corridor, Zhang Lixing's face was heavy. "Secretary Chen didn't expect comrade Yan Pei's life to be so bad. Alas, I really don't know what to say."
"Heaven helps the worthy. Comrade Yan Pei can wake up. Maybe there will be another miracle in the future." Chen Xing shook his head gently. He was no longer as happy as before, but it was also a good thing that Li Yanpei could wake up.
"Yes, comrade Yan Pei will definitely have another miracle." Zhang Lixing nodded. Although he said so, his heart trembled.
They talked for a few minutes outside the ward. Finally, Chen Xing walked into the ward to see Li Yanpei and comforted Li Ying and Cai Yalan. Then he left the hospital, followed by Zhang Lixing. They talked for a while downstairs of the ward. Zhang Lixing and Chen Xing talked about some of Li Yanpei's past and sighed with emotion about Li Yanpei's character. They said that Li Yanpei was a responsible person and had many respectable noble qualities.
After they finished talking, they got in their respective cars and left the hospital. When the car left the hospital, Chen Xing looked back at Zhang Lixing's car, which left in another direction. He frowned. It seemed that Chen Xing really couldn't see through any of these main cadres in the city. He didn't know what was hidden under each face. Li Kaishan, Sun Ying, Zhang Lixing, Xu Yuanfei, Wu Ning … The faces of these people flashed in Chen Xing's mind. Chen Xing frowned more and more.
Thinking of Wu Ning, Chen Xing remembered the letter in his arms. He kept the letter close to him. Now, judging from the handwriting, he was sure that it was written by Wu Ning. Of course, he couldn't be 100% sure. Even if he asked a professional to appraise it, he could only say how similar the handwriting was. No one dared to say 100%, but it should be close. Chen Xing wondered whether he should use this letter to test Wu Ning.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing stopped thinking about it. He took out his phone and called Ge Jian-ming.
Comrade Chen Xing, what's the situation with Li Yanpei now? As soon as the phone was connected, Ge Jian-ming asked anxiously.
He lost his memory and his IQ might be a little abnormal. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
Lost his memory? Even his IQ was affected? Ge Jian-ming's voice also changed.
Hmm. Chen Xing nodded and smiled helplessly. Secretary Jianming, this was really a great joy and a great sorrow.
It was indeed a great joy and a great sorrow. Ge Jian-ming murmured. He didn't expect this result either. After a long silence, Ge Jian-ming said, "Since it happened, there's nothing we can do. When the doctor diagnosed Comrade Li Yanpei as a vegetable, he didn't expect Comrade Li Yanpei to come back. Now it's a blessing in disguise."
"I also comforted Comrade Yan Pei's family in the same way. A miracle has happened once, and I hope there will be a second time." Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
He could only comfort them in this way. Ge Jian-ming sighed.
After a moment of silence, Ge Jian-ming suddenly said, "Comrade Zhang Wanzheng will go to Mountain Gaze tomorrow. He used to be the director of the First Discipline Inspection Office. He has excellent professional ability and has personally handled many corruption cases. I've told him to do his best to support your work when he arrives at Mountain Gaze. I've also told him about Li Yanpei. He will also secretly investigate the internal affairs of the Discipline Inspection Commission to see if there are any clues."
"That's good. I have another helper." Chen Xing laughed.
As he talked with Ge Jian-ming, the car arrived at the guest house again. After chatting with Ge Jian-ming for a while, Chen Xing hung up the phone. Zhu Guangzheng, Xue Jinbao, and Fan Ying's banquet had already ended. However, they asked the waiter to remove the dishes and served tea, waiting for Chen Xing to come back.
Chen Xing walked into the box. Zhu Guangzheng hurriedly stood up. He didn't dare to sit like Xue Jinbao, who had a special relationship with Chen Xing. He was just Chen Xing's subordinate. Zhu Guangzheng glanced at Chen Xing's face and was curious about what urgent matter Chen Xing had just had.
"Chen Xing, do you have something on your mind? Look at your sullen face." Xue Jinbao asked curiously.
"Nothing." Chen Xing smiled. "Jinbao, come to Mount Li for an inspection tomorrow. I'll tell you this first. If you don't invest, I'll ask Comrade Guangzheng to throw you into the mountains. We have nothing else in Mount Li, but there are many mountains. If no one shows you the way, you won't be able to get out."
"Chen Xing, are you inviting me to invest in an inspection or to rob me? I've never seen you invite people for an inspection like this. If you say that, I won't dare to go tomorrow. I'll get up tomorrow and go straight back to Nanzhou." Xue Jinbao laughed.
"If you want to get up and leave, I'll ask someone to detain your car." Chen Xing sat down with a smile.
"It seems that I made a mistake coming to Mount Li and fell into a bandit's lair." Xue Jinbao shook his head and smiled. This was the consequence of making friends carelessly.
The two joked for a while and Chen Xing was in a much better mood. He vaguely noticed that Fan Ying was staring at him from time to time. Chen Xing felt that this woman seemed to pay more attention to him, so he looked at her. This time, he happened to meet Fan Ying's gaze. The two of them looked at each other. Fan Ying's eyes were bold. She stared at Chen Xing without the shyness and embarrassment of ordinary women.
"Jinbao, are you going to stay in this guest house tonight?" Chen Xing asked.
"Of course we're going to stay here. Didn't you say at noon that we would stay here?" Xue Jinbao laughed.
"That's right, but how do I know if you two bosses think the conditions of this guest house are too ordinary and want to stay in a five-star hotel?" Chen Xing laughed.
"When we go out, it's enough to have a comfortable place to sleep. There's no need to be so particular." Xue Jinbao shook his head and smiled. "Chen Xing, don't think too highly of us. But I think in Mount Li, it seems that only the Xincheng Hotel is a five-star hotel."
"Yes, only that one." Chen Xing nodded.
When it came to the Xincheng Hotel, Chen Xing's eyes changed somewhat. Zhu Guangzheng, who was next to him, also had a different expression. As a local cadre, he knew more about the Xincheng Group than Chen Xing, so he was more afraid of them.
Several rooms away from the room where Chen Xing was, Liu Xiaowen sat with an unnatural look. Fan Xiaoliang, the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, put his hand on her leg from time to time. Liu Xiaowen repeatedly pushed his hand away, but he persistently put his hand on her leg, and it was getting more and more excessive. Next to her sat Zhang Kun, the director of the County Education Bureau, and Xu Zhizhong, the principal of the No. 1 Middle School.
Liu Xiaowen was called over by Xu Zhizhong. She didn't know what Xu Zhizhong and Zhang Kun came to the city for two days in a row. This afternoon, they said that they were going to the hospital to visit her husband. But before they left, Xu Zhizhong called her out and asked her to come out for dinner at night. Liu Xiaowen politely refused, but Xu Zhizhong said that she had to come, otherwise, her husband's hospital expenses would not be reimbursed by the school. Xu Zhizhong grasped Liu Xiaowen's weakness. She and her husband were both teachers. Their lives were not hard, but it was impossible for them to be rich. Naturally, they would not refuse to reimburse more medical expenses. Xu Zhizhong promised that in addition to the medical insurance reimbursement, the school would reimburse a little more. Liu Xiaowen naturally would not refuse this kind of thing. No one would say no to money. Thinking that she just came over for a meal, Liu Xiaowen also agreed. Who would have thought that she would encounter such a situation. At a glance, it was obvious that she was called to accompany them to drink.
The wretched eyes of Fan Xiaoliang, the deputy director of the city's education bureau, made her very uncomfortable. Some of his unruly actions made her even more disgusted. She wanted to leave several times, but when she met Xu Zhizhong's gaze, she could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart and continue to sit.
Little Liu, you have to drink more with Director Fan tonight. After Xu Zhizhong received Fan Xiaoliang's hint, he smiled and said to Liu Xiaowen.
Principal Xu, you know that I don't drink. I have already made an exception tonight and drank two glasses. Liu Xiaowen was unhappy and said in a stiff tone. In the past, she was quite respectful to Principal Xu Zhizhong, but now she felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that Xu Zhizhong and Zhang Kun were the same kind of people.
She had already drunk two glasses, so it didn't matter if she drank a few more glasses. Zhang Kun's eyes wandered around Liu Xiaowen's face. Because of the alcohol, her face was flushed. It made people feel like a cat was scratching his heart. He really wanted to go up and kiss her.
Director Zhang, I really can't drink anymore. Liu Xiaowen covered the glass with her hand, not letting Zhang Kun pour more wine into the glass.
Hey, it's okay to drink another glass. Little Teacher Liu, since you came, drink happily. Don't spoil the mood. Zhang Kun pushed Liu Xiaowen's hand. Feeling Liu Xiaowen's delicate and smooth hand, Zhang Kun's heart stirred again.
Director Zhang, I really can't drink anymore. Liu Xiaowen's attitude was firm. She knew that if she continued to drink, she would get drunk. There were a few men beside her. If she were to get drunk, Liu Xiaowen didn't know what would happen. The only person she felt at ease with was Xu Zhizhong, but now she felt that he was unreliable.
Little Liu, Director Zhang has already personally poured wine for you. If you don't drink, you are not giving Director Zhang any face. Xu Zhizhong said in support.
Principal Xu, my husband is alone in the hospital. I should go back as well. I have been out for almost two hours. Liu Xiaowen stood up and wanted to leave. This meal had already lasted for nearly two hours. The dishes on the table had already been changed. Liu Xiaowen didn't want to stay any longer.
Little Liu, if you go back now, it will be difficult to pay for your husband's medical expenses. Zhang Kun said with an ugly expression.
Principal Xu. Liu Xiaowen looked at Xu Zhizhong with a pleading expression, but Xu Zhizhong turned his head to the side. He couldn't bear to make things difficult for a woman like Liu Xiaowen, but beside him was the County Education Bureau's Director and the City Education Bureau's Deputy Director. They were all his superiors, so how could Xu Zhizhong speak up for Liu Xiaowen?
Little Liu, since you are here, drink a few more cups. Your husband isn't a child. It won't affect you if you leave for a while. Xu Zhizhong said. Moreover, didn't Director Fan just say that he knows the leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau? With him greeting the leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, when the police want to catch those who hit your husband, they will be more proactive, right? If they can catch them, they can also get those people to compensate for the medical expenses. This is also a good thing for you.
Liu Xiaowen gritted her teeth. Reality made her feel helpless.
I'll go out to the toilet first. Liu Xiaowen finally escaped.
Walking outside, Liu Xiaowen took a deep breath. The private room was filled with smoke and surrounded by a few men. Liu Xiaowen felt that her head was about to explode. Only now could she clear her mind.
The bathroom was at the end of the corridor. Liu Xiaowen walked over in a daze. When she passed by a private room, the person inside walked out. Liu Xiaowen exclaimed and directly bumped into the other party.
She was too careless when walking. Xue Jinbao was bumped into. When he turned his head and saw that it was a beauty, his temper immediately disappeared.
