Chapter 1174: What family members are these?
Afternoon.
Along the highway.
The morning fog was almost dispersed. A domestic car is traveling at high speed along the highway.
“Drive faster, Old Wang.”
“We will be speeding if I go faster, Secretary Meng.”
“Just go faster.”
“All right, Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang.”
It was not a good car, and it started shaking when it sped up.
This was Mayor Jiang’s car, and Jiang Fangfang and Meng Rui sat behind. Old Wang and Secretary Meng’s secretary, Zhang Feng, sat in front. They heard what happened and left for the City Third People’s Hospital immediately.
Jiang Fangfang’s eyes were shut, and did not say a word.
Meng Rui looked in front coldly. He could no longer hold back his anger. He will explode if the City’s Finance Department Chief Wei Lin is in front of him now.
However, Dong Xuebing’s condition is their main worry now.
If anything happens to Mayor Dong, this incident will….
Ring… ring… ring…. A phone rang.
Zhen Feng took out his phone and said. “Secretary, it’s Finance Department’s Old Yan.”
Jiang Fangfang opened her eyes suddenly.
Meng Rui extended his hand. “Let me answer.”
Zhang Feng accepted the call and passed the phone to Secretary Meng.
“I am Meng Rui!” Secretary Meng answered. “How is Mayor Dong?”
Yan Yizhi replied. “They saved Mayor Dong, Secretary Meng.”
“He is saved….” Meng Rui sighed in relief. “Good….”
Jiang Fangfang looked slightly relaxed.
Yan Yizhi continued. “Mayor Dong is awake now but cannot speak due to the anesthesia. The hospital says his condition is temporarily stabilized, but he suffered multiple fractures. It might take more than a few months for him to recover. There is also a risk of infection. They still cannot tell us what will happen in the future. The hospital also asked Mayor Dong’s family members to sign some documents.”
Meng Rui hesitated for a second. “Go ahead and contact Mayor Dong’s family.”
Yan Yizhi replied. “I don’t have his family members’ numbers here.”
“All right. I will ask Xiao Zhang to contact his family.” Secretary Meng said. “Focus on caring for Mayor Dong. Mayor Jiang and I are reaching.”
Meng Rui said after hanging up. “Xiao Dong is temporarily fine.”
Jiang Fangfang nodded. “He is lucky.”
It could be fatal from falling from the third floor.
Meng Rui returned the phone to his secretary and said. “Call the County for Mayor Dong’s family’s number and ask them to come over quickly.” They should contact Dong Xuebing’s family immediately, but he was not in Zhen Shui County. Everything happened too fast, and they had forgotten about it. He was seriously injured, and his family should be around to care for him.
Zhang Feng called Zhen Shui County and got two phone numbers. One was Dong Xuebing’s mother’s number, and the other was his wife’s.
Zhang Feng called Dong Xuebing’s mother first. Ring… ring… ring….
A middle-aged woman answered. Her voice is gentle. “Hello, who’s that?”
Zhang Feng replied cautiously. “Hello, I am Zhang Feng from Zhen Shui County.”
That woman asked. “Zhen Shui County? You must be Xuebing’s colleague. What is it?”
Zhang Feng hesitated for a second and said. “Please prepare yourself. Mayor Dong had met an accident. He is seriously injured after falling off a building.”
The woman was shocked. “He fell off a building?! Which floor?”
Zhang Feng replied. “Third floor. But don’t worry. He is fine and is in the hospital now.”
“How serious is his injury?”
“He suffered multiple fractures.”
“What else?”
“The rest are superficial wounds. Oh, he did not injure his spine or neck.”
“Oh, he fell from the third floor.”
“Yes. It happened in the City.”
“What is he doing in the city?”
“Huh? Mayor Dong went to the City to get back the County’s funds.”
Dong Xuebing’s mother asked a few more questions and said. “Ok. I know what happened. Sorry for making you all worry. Tell him to call me when he can move.”
“Eh? Aunty…”
Dong Xuebing’s mother hung up.
Zhang Feng was speechless. He wanted to ask her to come over quickly, but she hung up.
Zhang Feng saw Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang’s expressions from the rearview mirror and called Dong Xuebing’s wife.
“Hello?” A woman answered.
“Hi, are you Mayor Dong’s wife?”
“Yes. Who are you?”
“I am Zhang Feng, from Zhen Shui County. We received news that Mayor Dong had fallen off a building and was injured. His life is not in danger, but he suffered multiple fractures.”
“Fell off a building?”
“Yes.”
“Which floor?”
“Huh? Third floor.”
“How did he fall?”
“We don’t know the details, but someone might have pushed him accidentally. There might be other reasons too.”
“Where did it happen?”
“In the city.”
“What is he doing in the city?”
Zhang Feng almost fainted. Why are Mayor Dong’s mother and wife asking these questions, and they don’t sound worried or anxious?
“Mayor Dong had gone to the City to get funds.”
“The City refused, and someone from the City pushed him off the building? Ok. I get what happened. I am busy now.”
Zhang Feng was shocked. “Ah? Err…. Are you coming to visit Mayor Dong?”
“I got no time.”
“But Mayor Dong….”
“Didn’t you say he is fine? I will go when he is dead.”
Xie Huilan hung up.
Zhang Feng looked at his phone speechlessly.
Meng Rui frowned and asked. “Have you informed Mayor Dong’s family? When are they coming? Arrange someone to pick them up from the airport.”
Zhang Feng replied. “They… they are not coming.”
Meng Rui was puzzled. “Not coming? Why are they not coming?”
Zhang Feng repeated what they said. “Mayor Dong’s wife says…. She says she will come when Mayor Dong is dead. His mother did not say she would come either.”
She will come when he is dead?!
“Did she say this?”
“Err…. Yes.”
Jiang Fangfang’s brows twitched.
Meng Rui almost cussed.
Old Wang’s hands shook, and he almost got into an accident.
Are they his mother and wife?
What family members are these?!
Why are they not anxious about Mayor Dong?
