Chapter 1715 Aftermath
To be honest, it has to be Russian cars.
It was clear that the other party had gone all out; the truck was loaded with a bucket of sand and gravel, yet the Volga M24 didn't overturn.
Although its curb weight is only 1.5 tons, the Jiefang brand truck that crashed into it only had a load of 5 tons.
Even if a truckload of sand and gravel is overweight, it's not as terrifying as the hundred-ton trucks of later generations.
Li Xuewu, who was sitting in the back seat, anticipated the danger and suddenly sat up straight, hugging Qi Yan in the driver's seat from behind and firmly securing the two of them to the seat back.
In that instant, he even warned Ma Baosen of the danger, and then the two cars collided.
Even though Qi Yan's reaction was slow, he had long-established conditioned reflexes. He turned the steering wheel, and the whole car veered sideways in the collision. The friction of the four tires increased the resistance.
squeak--
The extremely fast friction sound echoed throughout the street, and could be heard by the buildings around the intersection.
Meanwhile, the security team members witnessed the accident from their post at the intersection.
They stood there, stunned, watching helplessly as the car was rammed by the truck and pushed all the way to the curb.
Anyone with experience knows that this is when danger strikes. If the momentum is still strong, the car will definitely overturn, and the danger to those inside who are not wearing seat belts will double.
From the intersection to the edge of the road, it's a distance of over forty meters, and even the strongest impact force would reach its limit.
"Oh no! Go check it out!"
The shift leader yelled and grabbed the peaked cap from the wooden desk, then rushed to the accident scene.
Before the two guards could react, they had already started running forward after their squad leader, and the scene was in chaos.
This is the intersection with the highest traffic volume in the Hongxing Steel City Industrial Zone, and it is also a key passage for entering and exiting the industrial zone.
Besides cars, there were also many employees riding bicycles and walking; everyone was stunned by the accident.
"Damn it! Get out of the way! Danger!"
The security squad leader kicked off his run, covering his hat with his hand and waving to signal passersby not to come closer.
He underestimated the courage of Chinese people to watch a spectacle; both cars had already stopped, so what danger could there be?
So when the security squad leader called out to him, pedestrians had already gathered around because they recognized the car.
"Isn't this the Secretary-General's car?"
"Look! It really looks like the Secretary-General!"
"My God—"
……
The pedestrians reacted quickly, but the cyclists reacted even faster, turning their bikes around sharply and riding over here.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The security squad leader was furious. He pushed aside two pedestrians and rushed inside. He also recognized whose car it was.
If something really happens to the leader in his area, then he'll be stuck at this crossroads for the rest of his life.
boom--
Before he could push aside the onlookers and go to check the scene, the rear door on the other side of the car that had been hit was suddenly kicked open.
"what!!!"
Some of the more timid ones were startled; they had never seen such a serious car accident before and thought everyone in the car was dead.
The truck's cab was high, and they could already see the truck driver slumped over the steering wheel; the car's cab was low, and they were about to lean forward to see if the secretary-general was sitting inside.
But when Li Xuewu appeared before them, they were both surprised and somewhat regretful.
It's not that they're heartless, they just feel that since the secretary-general didn't die, the accident wasn't too serious.
The lack of significant fanfare directly impacted the appeal of bringing the event back to their workplace for promotion.
"Secretary-General—"
The security squad leader was stunned for a moment. Seeing that his leader's face was covered in blood, he quickly tried to find something to help, but his leader pushed him away.
Li Xuewu had no time to pay attention to him. He pulled out a pistol from his waistband, stepped onto the back of the truck bed, and then jumped onto the roof of the truck to the door of the driver's truck diagonally opposite.
He was tall, and using the foot pedals, he unlocked the car door through the open window, opened the door, and pulled the driver out.
Those who saw his expression were all stunned. This was no longer the kind and gentle secretary-general they usually knew; he was clearly a ferocious tiger ready to devour anyone.
It was only at this point that the old man who had been transferred from the Red Star Factory remembered the secretary-general's former nickname.
Li Xuewu held a gun to the driver's forehead, pressed his right knee against the driver's chest, stepped on the driver's arm with his left foot, flipped the driver's eyelids open, and then slapped the driver across the face with his left hand.
This is a free wake-up service.
The driver's face swelled up instantly after being hit, but he seemed much more alert, at least his eyes were open.
See? It has to be the family's traditional medical skills. This emergency treatment method really works. Most people can't do it this quickly.
"Tell me, who told you to hit my car!"
Li Xuewu stared at the driver with a sinister expression. The pressure from his gaze made the driver unconsciously avoid eye contact.
“If you had just died, I could have given you a discount, but you should know that the most terrifying thing in this world is not death.”
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's worse than death. If you don't tell me now, don't beg me to tell you later."
"I...I was wrong...I'm sorry..." the driver stammered, trying to explain, "I fell asleep..."
"Okay, you'd better never say it."
Li Xuewu tightened his grip on the gun, squinted, and reminded the driver, "I'll remember this accident."
After saying that, he actually let go of the driver, stood up, put away the gun in his hand, walked around the car, and suddenly pulled open the passenger door.
The security squad leader was arranging for his colleagues to return to the guard post to call an ambulance, while also sending someone to fetch a crowbar.
Before he could even demonstrate his emergency command skills, Li Xuewu forcefully pulled open the car door that was being blocked by the deformed A-pillar.
The car didn't have seatbelts, so when he hugged Qi Yan from behind, it was as if he was providing Qi Yan with a protective measure.
But Ma Baosen was in a terrible situation. Li Xuewu and Qi Yan watched as he was tossed around several times in the passenger seat like a rag doll.
The blood on Li Xuewu's face and body is Ma Baosen's, including the blood on the windshield, which looks quite frightening.
"Get out of the way, don't come any closer."
Li Xuewu steadily supported the unconscious Ma Baosen with both hands, carefully carried him out, and laid him flat on the ground.
Judging from this, Ma Baosen's condition is quite serious. His face is covered in blood, and there is a cut on his shoulder. He looks like he is about to die.
The security squad leader had already reacted, pulling his baton from his lower back and smashing it down on the crowd of people desperately trying to push forward to see what was going on.
Instantly, cries of "Ouch!" erupted from the crowd.
Qi Yan finally climbed out of the driver's seat, braced himself on the passenger side, and struggled to get out of the car with a grin.
How are you? Did you hurt your leg?
Li Xuewu was checking Ma Baosen's breathing when he looked up at him and reminded him, "If you feel pain, lie down immediately and don't try to tough it out."
"It's nothing, it's not a bone," Qi Yan said after taking a few steps while holding onto the car door and calming down a bit. "I twisted my knee, it hurts a little."
Did you call an ambulance?
Li Xuewu confirmed that Ma Baosen's breathing was fine, then turned to the security squad leader and shouted, "Ignore them, go see if the ambulance has arrived yet."
The security guard, who had already made the call and run back, replied, "Yes, yes, I called. I'll be there soon."
Fortunately, it was in an industrial area, very close to the hospital. If it were in the city or elsewhere, Li Xuewu would not have trusted the hospital at this time.
Doctors have all gone to the countryside to provide support, and even the boiler operators who stayed at the hospital are now on the operating table. Isn't that terrifying?
After being forcibly dispersed by the security squad leader, the crowd dispersed, but they stood at a distance, watching the spectacle.
Li Xuewu reached up and wiped the blood from his face. It had dried under the blazing sun and was now burnt.
The ambulance really arrived, and its siren was exceptionally clear. It's worth noting that Honggang Group was the first in the country to install sirens on ambulances and security patrol cars.
The security squad leader, along with several colleagues who rushed to help, cleared a path for the ambulance.
The security guard who made the call already told us who had the accident. If the hospital still isn't worried, then they're really getting bold.
So before the ambulance had even come to a complete stop, both the front and back doors opened, and several people in white coats jumped out and ran towards them.
"I'm fine, let me check on Xiao Ma."
Li Xuewu waved his hand, gesturing to Ma Baosen, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and said, "His head hit the glass, and his right arm was cut."
While he was explaining the situation, several doctors had already knelt down to examine Ma Baosen and determine whether he could be lifted onto a stretcher.
"Secretary-General, there's blood on your face."
The doctor leading the team looked at him with concern and reminded him, "Let me examine you. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I'm sure I'm fine." Li Xuewu nodded at him seriously and said, "Tell your dean to do everything he can to save me."
“No problem,” the doctor reminded him again, “You should still come back with us for a check-up, just to put your mind at ease.”
"Qi Yan, follow Xiao Ma into the car."
Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaling to Qi Yan, who was standing by the car, and instructed him, "If you're alright, keep an eye on Xiao Ma for me. I'll come to the hospital to find you later."
He turned around and watched as several doctors worked together to lift Ma Baosen onto a stretcher and quickly put him into an ambulance.
Qi Yan knew there was no point in staying, so with the doctor's help, he limped upstairs as well.
Seeing that the doctor leading the team was about to speak again, Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll go to the hospital myself in a bit."
After saying that, he walked to the other side of the vehicle. The truck driver was sitting against the wheel, his face ashen, as if his soul had been taken away.
A guard was watching him, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Are you alright? Do you need to come with me to the hospital?" Li Xuewu stood in the sun, the sunlight shining on his face, making him look like a demon from hell.
The driver looked up, shrank back in fear, shook his head, then lowered his head again and remained silent.
Li Xuewu had no doubt that if someone dared to do this, they must have already made arrangements for their escape route.
The fact that they dared to arrange for a truck to run him over shows they've gone to extremes and don't care about the consequences.
"Take him to the security office. Don't ask him anything. Just check this car and see which unit it belongs to."
Li Xuewu, hands on his hips, addressed the security officer who jogged over before even closing the car door, saying, "Focus on investigating the people associated with him, and who he has been in contact with recently."
"Also, check the car's movement trajectory. Find out who knows about this. Dig up every clue you can!"
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
Although he was alone, the security officer's answer was still firm and resounding; he was terrified that the group's leaders had gotten into trouble.
After confirming that his superior was alright, he treated the driver on the ground as if he were already dead.
It is both a crisis and an opportunity. This case is of concern to the Secretary-General, and any progress on this case will be taken seriously.
Their chance to shine has arrived!
-
"Secretary-General—" Zhang Jing and the others had just come downstairs when they saw Li Xuewu enter the hall. Although he still had bloodstains on his body, his face had been washed.
"Have you received any calls from Beijing?"
Li Xuewu asked, "Is it the Director Fang Yuan who came before?"
"No, I didn't receive a call from you this morning," Zhang Jing explained hesitantly. "Could it be that the call wasn't connected?"
"Don't overthink it, it's normal if you don't have it."
Li Xuewu went upstairs and turned back to tell him, "Xiao Qi and Xiao Ma are still in the hospital. Xiao Ma's injuries are very serious."
“I understand,” Zhang Jing nodded and said, “I have already arranged for someone to pick up the family members, and the office has also made arrangements.”
"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Li Xuewu pointed upstairs and said, "I'll go make a call."
Zhang Jing still had something to say, but knowing his leader's personality, he held back after thinking about it.
The only person who could remain calm and handle the situation properly after something like this happened was the Secretary-General.
"Secretary-General, I have already called all the relevant departments." He had only taken two steps when he ran to the stairwell and shouted this.
"I understand—" Li Xuewu replied indifferently, continuing his journey to his office on the third floor without stopping.
Zhang Jing was reminding him that the reason why the heads of various units did not rush over immediately was because they had received confirmation.
Li Xuewu didn't care about that. He wasn't the King of Zhou, and he didn't expect the other states to come to his aid if something happened to him.
Along the way, his employees greeted him warmly, but their eyes involuntarily drifted to his white shirt.
"Xiao Zhou, get me a basin of cold water."
As he passed the office, Li Xuewu pointed to a clerk and instructed, "Go and see if anyone has any laundry detergent."
"Ah, okay, Secretary-General, I'll go right away." Xiao Zhou was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and jogged to the main office.
He knew that Sister Yang, who was sitting opposite him, had laundry detergent in her drawer; women always like to prepare some everyday items.
When he returned to the secretary-general's office, he found the secretary-general on the phone.
“It’s alright, come on in.” Li Xuewu waved him over, then spoke into the phone, “Yes, it’s right outside the metallurgical plant gate, at the intersection leading to the city.”
"Yes, I'm fine, but Xiao Ma and Qi Yan are injured."
He held the microphone to his ear and explained gently, "I'm in the office. I'll make a few calls first, then I'll go check on Qi Yan and Xiao Ma later."
"Okay, no problem," he said on the phone, stretching his arm to take off his shirt, along with the white vest underneath which was also stained with blood, and threw it on the desk. He then gestured to Xiao Zhou towards the inner room.
Xiao Zhou understood and quickly went inside to find clothes for his boss.
He had been to this office before, but he had never been to the break room inside; Ma Baosen was usually responsible for cleaning it.
However, the clothes were easy to find. There was only one wooden wardrobe, and when I opened the door, I saw the same white vest and shirt.
"Okay, I'll call you later."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I might be busy at the end of the month, but things will be fine after this period. Let's go to Nanjing for a few days during the National Day holiday."
Xiao Zhou placed the clothes beside him, gestured to them, and seeing the leader nod, took the two pieces of clothing he had taken off and went to the door.
The office building didn't have a water room, but it did have toilets. Bloodstains could only be soaked in cold water; he knew that.
He couldn't linger in that office, especially when the boss was on the phone, so he took the basin and clothes with him.
When Li Xuewu returned to his office, the first call he made was to Gu Ning. He wasn't sure how long it would take for the message to reach her, and if it got off track, it would only cause his family unnecessary worry.
Once Gu Ning finds out, the rest of the family will know too. He'll have to secure the home front before he can do anything.
After speaking with Gu Ning and hanging up the phone, he asked for Fang Yuan's phone number. While waiting, he put on a vest and shirt.
In the closet, Yu Li prepared three sets of such clothes for him, so that he could change and wash them here when he had research or other tasks and it was inconvenient to go home.
Of course, he doesn't need to wash them. Yu Li has already told Xiao Ma that he should take his clothes home with him.
This time, however, Xiao Ma couldn't help him think about it.
"Hello? Director Fang." After Li Xuewu heard the call connect, he sat down and said, "I have something to report to you. Just now, I was involved in a serious car accident on my way to conduct research."
Fang Yuan on the other end of the phone was stunned. A serious car accident? Who was making this call?
“A truck loaded with sand and gravel sped straight at my car, and both the driver and secretary were injured,” Li Xuewu explained. “I questioned the driver briefly, and he was vague and evasive, so it must have been intentional.”
"What!" Fang Yuan was shocked and asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, luckily my driver is skilled, otherwise—"
He didn't say the rest, but Fang Yuan already understood what he meant.
"I'm informing you of this situation now, and please be careful."
Li Xuewu spoke very cautiously on the phone, almost as if he was just reminding Fang Yuan to be careful.
Who knows if anyone is tapping his phone at this time? Even if no one is, he still has to be careful.
"I understand what you mean," Fang Yuan said seriously. "Thank you. Please rest assured, I am safe now, and please be careful as well."
"Okay, that's settled then." Li Xuewu said only that before hanging up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Fang Yuan held the phone for a moment, but couldn't resist calling her superior to find out how the information had been leaked.
They had just learned about Takahashi Seiko and the others when they launched a revenge attack on Li Xuewu. Who was the mole?
Sometimes, the mole is more hated than the target.
-
Li Xuewu made several phone calls in his office until Xiao Zhou returned with a basin, by which time he had already washed the shirt and vest.
"I was thinking that just taking a soak would be enough."
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."
Xiao Zhou smiled shyly and said, "My mother taught me how to handle this kind of situation. I'll wash it clean and hang it up for you to dry."
"Okay, please thank your mother for me."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "I don't even know how to handle this."
He stood by the desk, picked up a few documents, looked at them, and tossed them aside. Seeing that Xiao Zhou had finished his work, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and tossed it to him.
"I remember you smoke, right?"
"Secretary-General, this—"
Xiao Zhou looked at the cigarettes in his hand with some embarrassment and said, "How could I take your things?"
"Take it and smoke it; it's a waste to leave it here."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "You know me, I don't smoke. This was left over from when President Xu came last time."
"Then I'll return it to Mr. Xu."
Xiao Zhou hesitated before saying, "If President Xu finds out, I..."
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu looked up, smiled, and sized him up before asking, "What year did you start working?"
"The year before last, that is, June of 1969."
Xiao Zhou was surprised that his boss would ask him this, and answered nervously, "I used to work in a hardware factory, and then I was transferred to the head office."
"Who transferred you here?" Li Xuewu seemed to have developed an interest in casual conversation and asked casually, "Was it Director Zhang Jing?"
"Yes, he asked me if I wanted to work at the head office, and I said yes, so I came." Xiao Zhou held the cigarette pack in his hand as if he were holding a landmine.
Li Xuewu shook his head and gestured, "Alright, go do your thing. The cigarettes are for you. President Xu won't accept them."
"Ah, oh, okay, thank you, boss." Xiao Zhou thanked him repeatedly, then left the house with a cigarette in his hand, looking somewhat uncertain.
He was thinking in the restroom that if the secretary-general's clerk, Xiao Ma, were seriously injured, would the leader need someone to help him?
What if he performs well and gains the leader's favor, and is then appointed as Xiao Ma's secretary?
The leader had already asked about his situation, but only gave him a pack of cigarettes, even though it was Daqianmen cigarettes. It was widely rumored in the organization that if he received the secretary-general's approval, he would definitely have a chance to receive a reward.
He received it today, but felt no joy whatsoever.
Compared to being a secretary to a leader, what is a box of Daqianmen cigarettes?
Li Xuewu had no idea that Xiao Zhou had so many thoughts on his mind. After finishing his business, he took his briefcase and went out.
His secretary was seriously injured, his driver was slightly injured, and his car was totaled. Now he is all alone, and his figure looks rather desolate from behind.
“Secretary-General, Director Zhang asked me to wait for you here,” Liu Dabing, a driver, came out of the guard room at the entrance as he saw him get off and offered to take him there.
"Okay, thank you."
Li Xuewu nodded and walked out the door without stopping, saying, "Let's go to the United Hospital and see Xiao Ma and Xiao Qi."
"Is Qi Yan alright?"
They were all in the same driver team, so Liu Dabing naturally knew Qi Yan. Although Qi Yan didn't talk much, he was still very amiable.
He was a driver in the car fleet, not a leader's driver; his main job was to provide vehicles for the organization and departments.
Now that he's been assigned to drive for the secretary-general, he clearly cherishes this opportunity, as he talked a bit too much while seeing the leader off to the car.
Li Xuewu didn't pay any attention and said after getting into the car, "I haven't seen him either. When he got into the ambulance, he just looked like he had a little pain in his knee."
"Wow—" Liu Dabing exclaimed, "That's really something, who would have thought that a car would suddenly appear out of nowhere."
He started the car, went out the gate, and drove towards the hospital, glancing at the leader in the back seat from time to time in the rearview mirror.
Li Xuewu knew he was being watched and what he was thinking, but at this moment he was too lazy to deal with these people.
This is also the predicament of those in positions of power: they need such people around them, but they also hate such scheming.
But once you're in the thick of it, who can escape this mercenary and scheming nature?
At Hongxing (Gangcheng) United Hospital, as soon as he entered the hospital, the hospital leader on duty came to greet him.
"Secretary-General, Xiao Ma's problem is not serious."
The vice president proactively reported, "We have already completed the consultation and arranged for the best doctor to perform the surgery, so you can rest assured."
"Yes, he looked very badly injured at the time."
Hearing that Xiao Ma's problem wasn't serious, Li Xuewu finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
"What about Qi Yan?" He turned to the vice dean and asked, "How is Qi Yan doing?"
"Xiao Qi's situation is a bit more complicated," the vice president explained cautiously. "We've already taken an X-ray of him, and we can basically confirm that it's a fracture."
"If it were the shinbone or other parts, it would be easier to deal with. The troublesome thing is that the knee is injured, and it's a twisted injury."
He frowned and explained, "It's not that our hospital can't treat it, it's just that the technology isn't mature enough yet, and we don't have many cases."
"Should we transfer people from the capital?" Li Xuewu really hadn't expected that Xiao Ma, who had arrived lying down, was not in much trouble, while Qi Yan, who had walked to the car, was more seriously injured.
"Tell me who can cure it, and I'll make the arrangements."
Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "Xiao Qi is still young, we can't let this matter... right?"
He could already guess what the vice president wanted to say: the risks of the surgery and the problems that would arise afterward.
Xiao Qi's main job is as a driver. If he really loses a leg, he definitely won't be able to work as a driver anymore, especially since he's not married yet.
"Yes, we are also trying to find a solution."
Whether it was from the heat or nervousness, the vice president took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "I know a bit about the situation in Beijing, and I imagine they're also facing a difficult situation."
He looked around and said cautiously, "If possible, it would be safer to seek treatment abroad."
"okay, I get it."
Li Xuewu nodded, walked to the ward, and looked through the window. Qi Yan was lying on the hospital bed looking at the big tree outside the window.
squeak-
Pushing open the door, Qi Yan turned around and saw that it was the leader. He got up to get out of bed, but Li Xuewu reached out and pressed him down.
"You're lying down, what are you going to do if you get up?"
When he let go, he patted Qi Yan's shoulder and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Qi Yan looked at him and said, "I'm really fine, I just need to take painkillers for a couple of days."
"Listen to the doctor." Li Xuewu raised his chin and said, "If painkillers worked, what would be the point of having a hospital?"
He pulled out a chair and sat down, looking Qi Yan up and down before asking, "Should I have your mother come and take care of you, or contact someone else? I don't have time."
"It's really nothing, Secretary-General." Upon hearing this, Qi Yan got up to demonstrate for him, explaining, "I just twisted my ankle."
"You've twisted your knee."
Li Xuewu gently tapped his knee with his finger and said bluntly, "Vice President Zou just told me that they don't have confidence in treating him here, and it's not certain that treatment in Beijing will work either."
Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale as she looked at him, her mouth agape, but she couldn't say a word.
"From now on, you can no longer put any force on this knee without the doctor's permission."
Li Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "But don't feel pressured. Just rest well in the hospital, and I'll find a way to cure you as soon as possible."
"It's alright, Secretary-General." Qi Yan lowered his head, looked at his knees, and said, "Don't bother if it's inconvenient."
He said in a low voice, "It's just intermittent pain, it doesn't interfere with my life."
"Listen to the doctor, and trust me too, okay?"
Li Xuewu reached out and patted his other knee, saying, "We can't just let it heal like this. I'll help you find a way as soon as possible."
"Thank you, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Qi Yan remains true to his personality; even when injured, he remains humble and low-key.
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "You saved our car. I'm waiting for you to recover so you can drive for me again."
Qi Yan forced a smile and nodded, saying, "No problem, it's fine to open it now."
"There's still a long road ahead."
Li Xuewu stood up and said, "Then please ask your mother to come over, if you can't think of anyone else."
"Boss—" Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's better not to call home. We're busy right now."
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll find someone myself, you don't need to worry about it."
"Are you sure you can find someone?" Li Xuewu asked, looking at him. "Is it a girlfriend or someone else?"
"Yes, she's in Steel City." Qi Yan nodded and said, "I'll have someone contact her."
"Tell me your address and name."
Li Xuewu said without allowing him to refute, "I'll have Liu Dabing drop you off and then I'll go pick up your girlfriend. I can't come back without seeing her next time."
"Okay." Qi Yan could feel the leader's concern and gave the recipient's name and workplace address.
Li Xuewu glanced at him and said jokingly, "Well, you've been hiding it well. No wonder you didn't like Er Ya when I introduced her to you."
"I've always treated her like a younger sister."
Qi Yan explained embarrassedly, "Besides, there's such a big age difference, how could I possibly accept that?"
"Is this too much?" Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come back next time and see what suits your taste."
Seeing that Qi Yan looked downcast, he teased him a bit, and when he saw Qi Yan smile, he waved and left the ward.
Qi Yan sat on the edge of the bed, watching the leader leave. Unable to suppress the sadness in her heart any longer, she buried her face in her pillow, and tears fell silently.
Nobody wants to become a cripple. He was trying so hard to show off just now because he didn't want to admit that he was going to become a cripple.
He couldn't accept this, and neither could his partner, which is why he dared not face reality.
If it weren't for the secretary-general's insistence, and his reluctance to trouble his mother, he would have been forced to tell her about his girlfriend.
But he was also worried that if his girlfriend came and saw him like this, and learned about the risks to his knee, would they still be able to stay together?
-
"If you say it was an accident, then it was an accident."
Li Xuewu looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Since he insists, I can't use torture to force him to confess, right?"
“I think the security department thinks the same way, but they just can’t do anything about it,” Zhang Jing explained. “Anyone with eyes can see what’s going on, but he insists that he accidentally fell asleep.”
He frowned and said, "If someone can fall asleep while driving, how many hours must they have been working? But the survey results show that he just started working."
"The security department is still investigating, but there's no way to classify it. They can only make him compensate for the losses from this traffic accident."
"What will he use to compensate?" Li Xuewu shook his chin and said, "Keep a close eye on him, or he might die in there."
"Yes, I've already reminded the security department."
Zhang Jing said softly, "This whole thing is suspicious. Why is it targeting you?"
"We've been relatively peaceful lately, nothing's happened, right?"
“It’s not work-related.” Li Xuewu shook his head and said, “It might be related to Fang Yuan.”
"You mean—" Zhang Jing raised an eyebrow and said, "Then what do we do? Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Forget it? Heh—" Li Xuewu sneered, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. We don't need to get involved in this mess. Let him be."
Those who dare to be ruthless towards him are not afraid of causing a huge uproar. In that case, he really should avoid confrontation for the time being.
The more aggressive and aggressive they are, the more it shows that they are insecure and anxious. If you approach them at this time, wouldn't you be giving them an opportunity?
Li Xuewu looked at his opponent like a drowning man desperately trying to grasp at any straw. All he could do was take a step back and keep his distance.
This kind of thing only happens once. If it doesn't work the first time, there won't be a next time. He refused to believe that the other party could take him down in Steel City.
From now on, he decided to focus on his work and not return to Beijing to show his face, which was a way of giving the other party enough face.
Whether it was a program organized by Su Weide or he truly offended the other party, this should be enough for now.
If you provoke him again, he's not someone to be trifled with.
Calling Gu Ning also served another purpose: to reassure his father-in-law and mother-in-law that he was alright.
