Chapter 3: The unexpected

Lu Yan was a little dazed, and stared blankly at the familiar woman getting out of Zhang Guojing's car.It was a face he was no longer familiar with, with exquisite facial features, decent light makeup, light brown short wavy hair... coupled with a light green suit and skirt, her temperament was elegant and noble, just like a strong woman in the workplace image of.If it wasn't her mother, Xia Qiu, who else could she have?

"Mom!" Lu Yan was still about ten meters away from the Desert King, and he stopped unconsciously and shouted.

Xia Qiu, who heard his son's voice, suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Lu Yan standing not far from him with tears streaming down his face.

"Yanyan, what's the matter? Why do you look like this?" Suddenly seeing Lu Yan like this, Xia Qiu was really taken aback, walked quickly in front of Lu Yan on high heels, touched Lu Yan's face anxiously asked.

"Mom, I'm fine, why are you here now?" Lu Yan asked back.

"Your Uncle Zhang said he came to the hospital to see an acquaintance, so I came together." Hearing his son's question, Xia Qiu seemed a little unnatural.

"Yanyan, come quickly!" At this time, Zhang Guojing had already walked to the side of the mother and son, and put his arms around Lu Yan's shoulders.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang." Lu Yan greeted Zhang Guojing politely, turned around and continued to ask, "Mom, I called you before, but the phone was always turned off. I didn't expect you to come here with Uncle Zhang."

"Oh, that, Yanyan, I was with your Uncle Zhang. He received a call and asked me to go to the hospital with him to see an acquaintance, so I came together." Xia Qiu was indeed having dinner with Zhang Guojing just now. , Zhang Guojing answered a phone call and told Xia Qiu that an acquaintance was hospitalized and asked her to go and have a look together. She agreed without thinking too much, but she didn't expect to meet her son in this place.She felt that Lu Yan's tone of voice was weird today, and she didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Lu Yan was also taken aback by Xia Qiu's answer. Looking at Xia Qiu's unhurried manner, he still didn't know that the "acquaintance" who was hospitalized was his husband Lu Xiaodong, and Lu Yan suddenly became unhappy.

"Uncle Zhang, didn't you tell my mother who she was visiting in the hospital?" Lu Yan said to Zhang Guojing.

"Yanyan, this incident was really sudden. I was afraid that your mother would not be able to accept it, so I didn't tell her." Zhang Guojing said.

Xia Qiu was a little confused by the conversation between Lu Yan and Zhang Guojing for a while, and couldn't tell what was going on for a while.

"Okay then, mom, do you know who the acquaintance who came to see the hospital is?" Lu Yan was obviously a little angry with Zhang Guojing in his heart.In his mind, Lu Xiaodong and Xia Qiu have a very good relationship, and Zhang Guojing and Lu Xiaodong have always been like brothers.Now that Lu Xiaodong had such a big incident and his life and death were uncertain, Zhang Guojing was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't even tell Xia Qiu the truth.

"I don't know. Uncle Zhang just said he was an acquaintance, and I didn't bother to ask." Xia Qiu said.

"It's my dad! My dad was in a car accident and is being rescued inside." At this time, Lu Yan couldn't control his emotions, and almost cried out.

There was a "boom" in Xia Qiu's mind, and his face suddenly turned pale.For Xia Qiu at this time, the news her son said was obviously beyond her tolerance. At this time, she no longer cared about her face and demeanor, and turned around to face Zhang Guojing in a low voice: "An accident happened to Xiaodong, tell me what's going on?"

Zhang Guojing obviously didn't expect things to develop like this, but as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he has long since acquired a set of skills to keep things calm after years of working in the officialdom. Seeing Xia Qiu like this, he just said slowly: "I didn't know that Secretary-General Xiaodong had an accident until I heard the report from the general office. I immediately arranged for the Municipal Public Security Bureau to seal off the scene and investigate and collect evidence. The specific reason is still under investigation."

"Hmph—" Xia Qiu was very dissatisfied with Zhang Guojing's "official" answer, and had vaguely guessed a lot of things in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of his son, so he just snorted coldly.

"Yanyan, let's go up and see your father." Xia Qiu looked very calm at this moment, without even looking at Zhang Guojing, he took his son's hand and walked into the hospital building.

Looking at the backs of Xia Qiu and Lu Yan, Zhang Guojing was filled with anger: This stinky bitch is too disrespectful to her. She questioned him in front of so many subordinates, a dignified secretary of the municipal party committee. She really thought that he could pamper her. Lawless.But in front of everyone, he can't show this kind of thinking. Doing so will only make his subordinates laugh at him even more.

"Secretary Zhang, do you think we should go up now?" It was Zhang Guojing's secretary Chen Weidong who spoke, that is, the young man who opened the door for Zhang Guojing before. Seeing Zhang Guojing's silence for a long time, he tried broke the silence.Chen Weidong is Zhang Guojing's nephew and son-in-law. After Zhang Guojing became the mayor of Wucheng, he arranged for Chen Weidong to take over the post of secretary.In the entire municipal party committee, no one except Lu Xiaodong knew about the relationship between Chen Weidong and Zhang Guojing.

"Weidong, just now I was thinking that it is reasonable for Secretary-General Xiaodong's lover to lose his temper today. As the squad leader of the municipal party committee, I didn't do my job well, and I don't care enough about the members of the team. If it wasn't like this, I think Xiaodong Secretary-General Dong won't have the result today." Zhang Guojing didn't answer Chen Weidong, but was reviewing his work mistakes seemingly lightly, but hearing Chen Weidong, Huang Haiqiang and others had another effect in their ears.Huang Haiqiang couldn't help secretly admiring Zhang Guojing's brilliance: his words not only cleverly covered up the embarrassment that Xia Qiu questioned him just now, but also quietly bought people's hearts.

"Why don't we go up there? Comrade Xiaodong is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, and he has worked by my side for more than ten years. Now that something happened to him, I, the old leader and brother, should come and see him." Zhang Guojing's tone resumed. The usual majesty.

"Weidong, you go up with me, Director Huang, immediately inform the Standing Committee at home, and a meeting of the Standing Committee will be held here in half an hour. Also notify the National People's Congress and the Political Consultative Conference, and invite Director Sun and Chairman Tian to attend." Zhang Guojing said nothing. Hesitating, he raised his foot and walked towards the hospital building. Chen Weidong hurriedly trotted along with his briefcase.
