Chapter 968: Well done

Afternoon, around 4 pm.

Fen Zhou People’s First Hospital.

Dong Xuebing was sent to a ward after a series of medical examinations. Liu Hanqing and the other Inspection First Office staff waited for the results outside the ward.

Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.

Dong Xuebing looked at the caller ID, and it was Huilan. He answered immediately. “Hello.”

“It’s me.” Xie Huilan said quickly. “Why didn’t you answer my calls earlier?”

“I was doing the medical checks, and my phone was not with me.” Dong Xuebing replied.

Xie Huilan took a deep breath and said. “Are you trying to scare me to death?! I am speechless about you. How can you get hurt wherever you go? Do you want to die?! Fine. Don’t come home anymore. Go and live in the Himalayans yourself! You are always making others worry. How can you hold up such a heavy wall?”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I held it up, and it was not that heavy.”

“Alright. I know you are fine when you can answer my call. Wait there. I am going over.” 

“Eh… eh…. Don’t come here. I got something to tell you.” Dong Xuebing looked at the door and lowered his voice. “Feng Jie is in trouble now. That Executive Deputy Mayor is transferring in a few days, and there’s an empty seat in the Party Committee. You should do something to get that seat. I think Feng Jie is out of the race, but other Deputy City Mayors should be eyeing that seat. Grasp this opportunity.”

“I don’t need you to teach me. Okay. Let’s talk when I get there.”

“Ah, I am fine.”

“I will be assured after I see you.”

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing received a few more calls.

His mother, Aunt Xuan, Geng Yuehua, Xu Yan, Yu Meixia, colleagues, and friends called. He told them he was fine and would be discharged soon. They do not need to visit. He would be busy if all of them visited him.

After answering the calls, his medical test results were out.

The Doctor, Liu Hanqing, Zhuzhu, and the rest entered the ward.

“How is it, Doctor?”

“Is our Director seriously injured?”

“Does he need an operation? I notified his family members, and they will be here soon.

Before the Doctor could answer their questions, Zhan Guiping and other Discipline Inspection leaders arrived. “How is he? You all must do your best to save him!”

Liu Hanqing and the Inspection First Office staff turned and greeted. “Secretary Zhan.”

“Where is Xiao Dong? Is he still alive?” Zhan Guiping shouted worryingly.

The Doctor was speechless. Save him?! Is he still alive? He is doing better than all of us. If another Doctor was not alert and stopped him, he would be smoking in the examination room. Have you ever seen someone smoking when he was dying?

Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “Secretary Zhan, Director Liang, why are you all here?”

Zhan Guiping and the rest, who had just entered the ward, were shocked when they heard Dong Xuebing’s voice. “Xiao Dong?” Zhan Guiping was relieved and quickly walked over. “How can we not come after what happened? Stop talking for now. How is your condition? Did the doctors operate on you?”

Complaints Office Director Liang Xuan looked at the Doctor. “Doctor, hurry and tell us about his condition.”

The Doctor looked at the test results and said. “The patient does not need any surgery. Hmmm…. His condition is not serious.”

Zhan Guiping paused for a second. “He is covered in blood, and you say it is not serious? Weren’t he hit by a one-ton wall?”

Liu Hanqing, Fei Fan, and the rest were speechless. It was worse than being hit by that wall. He was holding the wall up for a few minutes. How can he be okay?

If this is not serious, what is serious?!

The Doctor was dumbfounded. How do I know what happened? We were also puzzled why he was fine. His medical examination results stated there was nothing wrong with him. “Superficial wounds caused his bleeding, and he will heal in a few days. We did not see any fractures from the x-rays, but he did pull his muscles, especially his arms. A few days rest, and he should recover. If the patient wants to return to work, he can be discharged now.”

Dong Xuebing interrupted the Doctor. “Great. I will discharge now.”

Zhan Guiping quickly stopped Dong Xuebing, who tried to get up. “Wait. You should stay for further observation. I am still worried about your condition.”

“I am fine, Secretary Zhan.”

“No. We should redo all the tests to be sure.”

Liang Xuan added. “That’s right.”

Zhan Guiping heard about this incident from Xi Ping District’s Commission For Discipline Inspection and was unsure what happened. He only knew Dong Xuebing stopped a one-ton wall from falling to save Liu Hanqing and Ning Shaoyang and was trapped under the wall. It was the firemen who rescued him. His first thought was Dong Xuebing would not make it, and he immediately rushed to the hospital with some Leaders. Liang Xuan and the rest thought they might not see him again.

However….

Xiao Dong was not in critical condition, and the Doctor said he could be discharged immediately. This was too much for Zhan Guiping and the rest to accept.

That was a one-ton wall. How can he be okay?

Damn! How can your body resist that weight?

After another round of checks, the doctors did not find anything wrong with Dong Xuebing

Zhan Guiping and the rest were relieved. “Xiao Dong is lucky. I was worried when I heard what happened.”

Liu Hanqing felt guilty. “It was my fault. Director would not get injured if he did not save us….”

Ning Shaoyang added. “I am to be blamed for what happened. I fell and tripped Director Liu….”

Zhan Guiping waved his hand. “Stop blaming yourself. This is not your fault. It is the rebuilding project.”

Liu Hanqing replied. “But I…. Sigh….”

Dong Xuebing added. “Old Liu, Xiao Ning, stop blaming yourselves. It’s not a big deal, and I am fine now.”

Liang Xuan laughed. “Our Director is blessed. Haha… and strong too.” They started joking after they knew Dong Xuebing was fine.

Zhan Guiping patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “It was dangerous, and I got to thank you for bringing everyone back safely. I heard what happened, and none of them could return if it weren’t for you. I will report this incident to the higher-ups and apply for a merit award for you. Well done.”
