Lin Xiao briefly recounted what happened yesterday.
How is he doing now? Li Hao felt a pang of anxiety.
I don’t know; I just woke up. I’ll go to the hospital later, Lin Xiao replied honestly.
Do you need me to come over? Li Hao thought, considering sneaking over since Lin Xiao surely needed him right now.
Aren't you busy? Nan Jia approached.
Lin Xiao wished Li Hao could come to keep him company, but since he mentioned being busy yesterday, it would be unhelpful for him to come. I've been busy too; if you come, I won't be able to relax at home.
Alright then.
Chen Chen had been working long hours lately, shooting for over ten hours a day, and Li Hao wasn’t available either.
Li Hao, Wang Lei is my good friend. With him in this situation, I can't just ignore it, Lin Xiao said, worried that Li Hao might misunderstand his intentions and proactively stated his decision.
Lin Xiao, if you don’t care about Wang Lei, then that’s not like you. Don’t worry; I trust you and support you.
Li Hao thought back to when Li Hui was attacked for being a mistress; she stood up for herself, so how could he not do the same for someone like Wang Lei?
Thank you.
You fool, why are you thanking me?
After exchanging a few more words, they hung up the phone.
When Lin Xiao arrived at the hospital, Wang Lei had already been in surgery for an hour.
Jin Lai, go take a break; I’ll take over for you. Lin Xiao was unsure when the surgery would end.
The head of the town said, The person replacing you will be here soon; just go rest.
Now, the Public Security Bureau was filled with unease—the director had been arrested, Wang Lei's life hung in the balance, and three deputy directors were anxious as well.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Xiao went to the County Government to find the county head.
Qian County Head, I’m here to report on work matters.
Lin Xiao arrived as soon as he started his shift, took the cup of hot water from the secretary, and added an appropriate amount of goji berries into the thermos on Qian County Head's desk before filling it with hot water.
Ah, if you hadn’t come to me first, I was planning to call you.
As Qian County Head watched Lin Xiao execute her tasks with such efficiency, he couldn't help but admire her strong capabilities and keen insight. They began discussing the recent crackdown on organized crime and evil in Yurou County. Although it was labeled a success, Qian County Head felt a deep sense of sorrow.
Many of those arrested had made outstanding contributions to the construction and development of Yu Rao, yet they had gradually forgotten their original intentions and strayed down a path of no return.
"County Head, are you aware of Deputy Director of Public Security Bureau Wang Lei's situation?"
"Yes, I’ve heard. He’s a good comrade. I’ve already arranged for the Public Security Bureau to ensure he is well taken care of and instructed the county hospital to spare no effort in treating him." Qian County Head had issued directives as soon as he learned about Wang Lei's injury.
"I have a friend at Capital Daily who wants to report on his story once he wakes up. What do you think? Should we recommend him for a first-class merit award from our county?"
Lin Xiao believed that Wang Lei might not care about such accolades. However, she wanted the world to know about this individual who was writing a tribute to the era with his life. He deserved the finest words of praise.
"Alright, I’ll arrange for the Public Security Bureau to handle it as soon as possible."
Qian County Head then shifted the conversation back to work related to Gengxu Town. "Lin Xiao, now that Li Hong has stepped down, I would like to propose you take over as Party Secretary of Gengxu Town. What are your thoughts?"
"I will certainly not let down the organization’s training or your expectations." Lin Xiao did not hesitate to accept.
After more than a year of honing her skills, she felt capable of taking on the role and hoped to inject new vitality into Gengxu Town.
