"I heard Wen Qi tell me that her father-in-law was hospitalized and was diagnosed with...cancer."

"What!" Li Yuanlang was startled and his heart became heavy. "To what extent?"

"I don't know the details, but it's quite serious anyway."

All in all, since leaving Daiding County, Li Yuanlang hasn't seen Chang Ming for a long time, let alone Chang Dongfang.

After all, he has a good relationship with Chang Ming, and Chang Dongfang treats him very well.

Shocked to hear this, Li Yuanlang immediately contacted Chang Ming after ending the call with his sister.

From the tone of Chang Ming on the other end of the phone, it could be heard that Chang Dongfang was suffering from serious cancer and was in an advanced stage.

Generally speaking, for patients in this situation, the cancer cells have spread to other organs through the blood, which is equivalent to indirectly giving the patient a death sentence.

Chang Ming said sadly: "My uncle is so sick because of his anger. Originally, he had three years to retire at the department level, but due to the influence of the Ye family, he retired to the second line early, and he was unwilling to live in the provincial capital.

.”

"He is not greedy or engaged in corruption, but he is implicated by me. Brother-in-law, you say he is unjust or not."

"Chang Ming, I understand how you feel. This is the end of the matter. Just let it go."

Li Yuanlang really didn't know how to persuade him. There were some things that he couldn't control.

Since you can't change, you can only accept it slowly.

Knowing that Chang Dongfang was staying in the Oncology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Medical University, Li Yuanlang made a temporary decision to quickly handle the matters at hand and rush to the provincial capital to visit Chang Dongfang as early as possible.

This time, Wu Liushui drove with him to Yunyang.

They set off the next morning and hurried slowly. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the car drove into the parking lot of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Medical University.

After getting out of the car, Li Yuanlang carried the fruit basket and flowers that Wu Liushui helped buy.

Tell Wu Liushui to arrange accommodation first and have a meal by the way. Don't worry about him and just wait for the call.

Li Yuanlang held flowers and a fruit basket, inquired about the ward where Chang Dongfang lived, walked to the door, and knocked lightly.

Chang Ming answered the door and nodded in greeting to Li Yuanlang.

I haven’t seen him for more than a year. He has lost a lot of weight and his hair has turned completely white.

For people under the age of sixty, as the old saying goes, illnesses come like a mountain.

"Uncle Chang, I'm here to see you." Li Yuanlang handed the things to Chang Ming and bent over to Chang Dongfang, who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Yes...it's Yuen Long!" Chang Dongfang's eyes sparkled and he took the initiative to stretch out his withered hands.

Li Yuanlang took a quick step, and Chang Dongfang held hands tightly together, his eye circles suddenly turned red.

Chang Ming saw this and quickly turned his face to one side.

Chang Dongfang held Li Yuanlang's hand tightly and never let go.

Li Yuanlang sat on the chair next to him. This was a single room, where only Chang Dongfang lived. There was a bed next to it, which was reserved for escorts.

"Chang Ming, raise the head of the bed for me." Only then did Chang Dongfang let go of Li Yuanlang's hand.

According to his uncle's request, Chang Ming raised the headboard of the hospital bed.

In this way, Chang Dongfang's speech became much smoother.

"Yuen Long, I heard that you are now the deputy mayor of Guangnan and also the secretary of the Uma County Party Committee?"

"Yes." Li Yuanlang nodded deeply.

"Wow." Chang Dongfang sighed: "Your former father-in-law hit you so hard, but you can still survive it. You can also be reborn. From a section officer to the deputy department level today, it is not easy, and the future is formidable."

"Uncle Chang, I just did what I should do, it's nothing."

Chang Dongfang shook his head, "It's nothing. Who can be as good as you? It would take an ordinary person more than ten years or even decades to reach this point. It only took you more than a year to achieve this. You are so fast that you can catch up with the Rockets."

Already."

After saying these words, Chang Dongfang glanced at Chang Ming and sighed: "I have paved the way for Chang Ming. With your help, I have been able to become the director of the county education bureau at the full subject level. It is already pretty good."

As he said that, he waved his hand to Chang Ming, "You go out and smoke a cigarette. Yuen Long and I have something to talk about."

Chang Ming nodded happily, walked out of the ward slowly, and closed the door gently.

"Yuen Long, I know my illness well. I'm afraid I won't have long to live. But the one I worry about the most is Chang Ming. I want to take care of him as much as possible within your ability."

"Although Chang Ming's abilities are average, he is still a good person. He is not contaminated by those bad habits. He has a righteous heart and will not betray his original intention in the face of principles."

"I can't guarantee whether he will become a handsome man in the future, but he can still be a general."

After saying this, Chang Dongfang couldn't help but gasp, and Li Yuanlang quickly patted his heart to help him smoothen his breathing.

After a while, Chang Dongfang continued feebly: "Yuen Long, you are now serving as deputy mayor. I believe this is only temporary. Sooner or later, you will be transferred to the city to work."

"With your ability, there is no problem in being on your own. Secretary Wang must have his own ideas about keeping you in Wuma County, and maybe let you complete some kind of task."

After all, it is Chang Dongfang who has many years of experience in politics who explains it clearly.

"Uncle Chang, you still have a high and far-sighted vision. Nothing can escape your golden eyes."

Chang Dongfang shook his head, "Don't put your hat on me. It's just that I've had salt for a few more years than you. I've seen more and thought more."

"How is it? Uma County is doing well, right?"

With Chang Dongfang's physical condition, Li Yuanlang had no intention of telling him his inner pain, lest it affect his mood.

But Chang Dongfang went on to say: "Don't hide it in front of me. I am a rotten wood person. I don't want to take the little things I have into the coffin. I can also help you with suggestions and tell you about my experience."

The way to save you from taking detours."

Hearing such a sincere voice, Li Yuanlang was instantly moved.

"Uncle Chang, something really bothers me..."

Therefore, Li Yuanlang told how he discovered the tens of millions of money and belongings from Ruan Haiqing's brother-in-law's family, and how he faced the pressure from Wei Qizheng.

Chang Dongfang listened very carefully, and although his eyes were a little cloudy, they were shrewd.

After Li Yuanlang finished speaking, Chang Dongfang asked Li Yuanlang to give him a few drinks of water, moisten his throat, and looked at the ceiling, and said slowly: "I know Ruan Haiqing. He is a landowner in Wuma County, and he is a bit domineering."

"At that time, Uma County was short of an executive deputy county magistrate, and the organization director was Jin Weixin. Ruan Haiqing's name was on the list I submitted."

"I question this. Nguyen Hai Khanh is inferior to the other two candidates in every aspect. My opinion is that I disagree."

"However, Jin Weixin told me that there was a big shot who was specifically interested in Ruan Haiqing. I was still wondering at the time, how could Ruan Haiqing get involved with that person?"

"Afterwards, this was further confirmed. The person called me specifically and did not mention Ruan Haiqing's name, but he hinted to me that this position must be Ruan Haiqing."

"After all, he is a provincial leader, and he speaks with a high level of proficiency. There is nothing he can do about it. His arms can't twist his thighs, so I had no choice but to follow that person's wishes and approve the nomination of Ruan Haiqing at the Standing Committee."

"Yuen Long, sometimes you have to bow your head when you should, don't hold your head high."

Hearing this, Li Yuanlang was very interested in the person Chang Dongfang mentioned and asked Chang Dongfang who this person was.

The strange thing was that Chang Dongfang didn't say a word, but from the shape of his mouth, Li Yuanlang knew this person's name.

It's him! How could it be him?

It's really unexpected, completely beyond Li Yuanlang's expectation.

It’s incredible!

His eyes widened, as big as copper bells.

"Are you surprised? To tell you the truth, I had the same reaction as you do now. Haha, people are not judged by their appearance. What is simple on the surface often contains hidden complexity."

"For example, when you dealt with Ruan Haiqing, you made a rash decision and insisted that the money belonged to Ruan Haiqing."

"Indeed, I think your judgment is correct. The problem is that your opinion does not count and lacks strong evidence."

"Yuen Long, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. This has something to do with the fact that you dominate Uma County and no one dares to contradict you."

"You are not only the secretary of the county party committee, but also the deputy mayor. Even though Ruan Haiqing is such a arrogant person, he does not dare to mess with you or challenge you, at least on the surface."

"It's because your aura is so strong that everyone must bow to you."

"However, you suddenly attacked Ruan Haiqing, pushed him into a panic, and used that person's connections to create today's passive situation."

Li Yuanlang listened carefully, not wanting to miss every word Chang Dongfang said.
