Chapter 286 – Unable to bear it any longer! (2/2)
The middle-aged man replied with a stern face. “I am the Chief of Investment Promotion Agency, Meng Xianglin. I am the overall in-charge of receiving the investment site visit team.”
Investment site visit team? Investment Promotion Agency? Luan Xiaoping doesn’t know what happened, but she knows the Chief of Investment Promotion Agency is a Section Chief position, and this person is a higher rank than her son. She tried to sit upright. “Chief Meng, please have a seat.” She thought Meng Xianglin was there to visit her.
Meng Xianglin replied emotionlessly. “No need. I will leave after saying a few things.”
Luan Xiaoping could sense Meng Xianglin’s hostility and was confused.
“It’s like this. The person who knocks you down is from the Japanese Investment site visit team. They are here to invest in a factory in Yan Tai County, and it is a significant amount. Even our County’s Party Secretary and Mayor Xie are very concerned about this.” Meng Xianglin saw Luan Xiaoping was getting worried and he continued. “That’s why the higher-ups want me to tell you to think of the big picture. Tomorrow, they will send the medical fees over, and that will be the end of this incident. You must also persuade Chief Dong not to do anything that will jeopardize this investment. Everything is for the good of Yan Tai County, and we cannot let this incident affect it. Xiao Luan, you are a teacher and also a Party member. I think you should know what to do.”
Luan Xiaoping got a fright. Even the County’s Party Secretary and Mayor are concern about this investment?
Meng Xianglin continued. “You should know Chief Dong’s temper. The higher-ups are worried he would do something and asked me to talk to you. If this investment is called off because of Chief Dong, it will be bad for his prospect. He cannot afford to bear the responsibility of losing this investment.”
Luan Xiaoping turned pale. “Xiao Bing will be held responsible?”
Meng Xianglin was not willing to come and speak to Luan Xiaoping himself. But he had no choice. If Luan Xiaoping and Dong Xuebing refused to stay silent and continued to create trouble, things might get out of hand. That’s why Meng Xianglin must have a ‘good talk’ with Luan Xiaoping. Actually, he is here to scare her and let her know of the consequences. After all, a village woman will not dare to go against the County. “… Do you understand? You did not suffer any serious injuries and just ask for higher compensation from them. Don’t get your son into trouble because of you.”
Luan Xiaoping panics. “I know… I will speak to Xiao Bing now!”
Meng Xianglin nodded.
Luan Xiaoping was very worried. She did not expect her accident to be so complicated. The person who knocks her is an important investor to the County, and even the Party Secretary is concern about this investment. To her, nothing is more important than her son. She doesn’t mind what will happen to her as long as her son is safe. She must not let her son get into trouble because of her. If the County’s Party Secretary hates Xiao Bing, then Xiao Bing’s future will be gone!
The more Luan Xiaoping thinks, the more anxious she became. Suddenly, her face turns white!
“I will be going off.” Meng Xianglin was about to leave the ward.
Suddenly, Luan Xiaoping was in pain, and she is holding to her chest with sweat pouring down her forehead. Beep, beep, beep… the vital signs monitor started a loud alarm. Luan Xiaoping’s blood pressure is increasing. 120… 130… 140… 150. Her heart rate is also getting faster. 80… 100… 120… 135… She tried to reach for her Instant-effect Jiuxin Pills, but she fainted on the bed!
Meng Xianglin frowned, as he did not expect Luan Xiaoping to be so timid.
Meng Xianglin stood there for a few seconds and left the ward quickly. He wants to leave the hospital as soon as possible.
All the monitoring devices in the wards are connected to the nurse station. When the alarm sounded, the nurses will be notified. Doctor Wang and a few nurses are running towards the ward, and Dong Xuebing is following behind anxiously. They do not understand why Luan Xiaoping’s condition suddenly turns for the worse. Even her heartbeat and blood pressure are worse than the time she was sent to the hospital. It seems to be an acute heart attack.
Mum! Nothing must happen to you!
Dong Xuebing’s eyes were all red and did not notice Meng Xianglin when he passed him. All of his focus was on his mother.
Meng Xianglin did not call out to Dong Xuebing as he does not want to be held responsible if Luan Xiaoping dies. He quickly walked to the lift lobby and took the lift down, and left the hospital.
“Mum!”
When they entered the ward, they saw Luan Xiaoping lying on her side motionlessly.
Dong Xuebing grabbed Doctor Wang’s arm. “Doctor! Quick! Save my mother!”
Doctor Wang quickly took a glance at Luan Xiaoping’s heartbeat and blood pressure before shouting to the nurses. “Quick! To the ER now! Call Director Zhao and Chief Sun!”
Dong Xuebing quickly asked. “What happened to my mother? She was fine a while ago!”
Doctor Wang replied with a serious look. “Her heart attack might have been caused by getting too emotional. I cannot confirm the details, and we need further checks.” After giving Dong Xuebing a brief explanation, Doctor Wang ordered a nurse to give Luan Xiaoping an injection and asked the rest to get ready. He then turns to Dong Xuebing. “High blood pressure patients will tend to have heart problems. Although your mother does not have heart problems all these while, …
Dong Xuebing’s face turns pale. “Can you save her?”
“I can only say I will try my best.” Doctor Wang did not dare to promise anything.
After the Doctor and nurses pushed Luan Xiaoping out of the ward in a hurry, Dong Xuebing covered his face in his hands and leaned against the wall. His hands are shaking, and Doctor Wang had just told him that Luan Xiaoping could be discharged in a few days. Why did she get a heart attack suddenly? She was too emotional?! Impossible. Mum was still joking and smiling with me before I look for Doctor Wang. Was her condition caused by the shock she received from the accident?
Wait!
Wait a minute!
Dong Xuebing suddenly remembered something and grabbed a nurse who walked past him. “Who was inside my mother’s ward earlier?”
The nurse was stunned. “I think I saw a man entering her ward.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “Is he Meng Xianglin?”
“… I don’t know. Who is Meng Xianglin?”
Dong Xuebing remembered seeing Meng Xianglin in the corridors but is not sure. He immediately looks up and saw there is a CCTV camera in the corridor. “Nurse, bring me to the surveillance room and show me the past twenty minutes of this floor’s footage!”
If it were someone else, the nurse would ignore him. But it was Chief Dong who requested, and she cannot reject him. After all, the Public Security Officers can view their surveillance cameras. She immediately returned to her nurse station and called the hospital’s leaders. Her leader immediately approved, and Dong Xuebing was brought to the surveillance room. Dong Xuebing was staring at the monitors without blinking.
“I found it.”
“During this time, right?”
Two staff pointed to a monitor.
Dong Xuebing lowered his head. “… Yes. Zoom in!”
In the footage, a middle-aged man appeared, and Dong Xuebing recognized this person’s back. It was Meng Xianglin, and he entered Luan Xiaoping’s ward. About five minutes later, around the same time when the alarm sounded, Meng Xianglin quickly left the ward and left the hospital.
Dong Xuebing was infuriated! This old bastard!
Dong Xuebing knew why Meng Xianglin had visited his mother. It must be to threaten and scare his mother because of the accident. He must have threatened her not to pursue this matter! Luan Xiaoping had just recovered from her shock of the accident, and her emotions are not very stable. Now, after getting scared by Meng Xianglin, she got a heart attack!
Xiang Daofa! Meng Xianglin!
F**k you both!
Dong Xuebing felt his blood rushed to his head, and he threw his bag on the floor. My mother was knocked down by their car, and not only you two did not help to catch the culprit, you still dare to threaten and scare her?! What is this? You are trying to kill my mother! Did my mother asked to be knocked down by those Japanese?! How come it seems like it was my mother who drove and knock down those Japanese?! Who the f**k is the victim here?!
Fine!
You all are doing these because you all want to get credit for this investment, right? You all dislike me, right?
If I, Dong Xuebing, let you all get this credit, I will f**king change my surname!
Dong Xuebing picks up his bag, stormed out of the hospital, and sped to the hotel where the Japanese team was staying!
