Before leaving, Li Runji called Guo Guangwei, Qiu Wangxi, Gong Xinqiu, Xu Lizhong and a few others to the doctor's office where he was resting, and said very seriously: "I hope that Secretary Lu will keep the matter of Secretary Lu's visit to Tianxi City strictly confidential and not mention it to anyone else. Especially the matter of Secretary Lu donating blood for Ye Ming cannot be passed on. ”

After saying these few words, he turned his attention to Gong Xinqiu, secretary of the Tianxi Municipal Party Committee, and emphatically said: "Comrade Gong Xinqiu, wait a minute, please state a discipline with the person in charge of the hospital, the attending doctor, and the operating nurse: The experience of rescuing Comrade Ye Ming last night, especially the matter of Secretary Lu donating blood to Ye Ming, please don't go around talking about it, let alone spread this news." Also, you have to tell the doctors and nurses: After Ye Ming wakes up, you must not tell him that Secretary Lu donated blood to him, and don't say that Secretary Lu and I have both come over. Do you understand? ”

Gong Xinqiu saw that Secretary Li's expression was very serious, and he quickly nodded and said, "Secretary Li, I understand." Rest assured, I'll pass on your instructions to them later. If anyone leaks the experience of last night's operation and the fact that you and Secretary Lu came to the hospital, I will deal with whomever I want. ”

The reason why Secretary Li emphasized that he should keep the matter of Secretary Lu donating blood to Ye Ming confidential, firstly, he was afraid that after this matter came out, it would arouse the suspicion of some people in the provincial party committee, and he was also afraid that someone would use this matter to hype up the special relationship between Secretary Lu and Ye Ming, which would affect Secretary Lu's reputation; The second is that he knows that Secretary Lu Daolu still doesn't want Ye Ming to know about his father-son relationship with Ye Ming, so he doesn't want Ye Ming to know that Secretary Lu Daolu donated blood to him, so as not to have any ideas, and then to verify his relationship with Secretary Lu......

After explaining Guo Guangwei and others, several people came to the special care room where Lushu rested together. Secretary Lu had already gotten up from the bed, and when he saw Li Runji and the others coming in, he said to Gong Xinqiu: "Comrade Gong Xinqiu, where is the van master who carried Ye Ming to escape the pursuit of the gangsters?" This is a brave and courageous comrade, and I would like to meet him now and ask him how he is doing. ”

It turned out that Secretary Lu was really grateful to the van master who saved his son's life, so before leaving, he wanted to meet him, encourage and praise him, and express his gratitude.

Gong Xinqiu was stunned for a moment, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face: it turned out that he had learned that Secretary Lu and Secretary Li had come to Tianxi City, so he hurried from his home to the hospital. After coming to the hospital, he was busy arranging guards and places to live for the two secretaries of Lu and Li, and making various preparations for greeting, but he forgot to ask Ye Ming how he escaped the pursuit of those gangsters, and he didn't know that there was a van driver in Ludao who saved Ye Ming's life.

Guo Guangwei saw Gong Xinqiu's embarrassed expression, and hurriedly played a round for him and said, "Secretary Gong, you go outside and find the driver." He carried Comrade Ye Ming to evade the chase last night, and he behaved very bravely and strongly. After Comrade Ye Ming is rescued, he should rush to the hospital with the policemen escorting the ambulance. ”

Gong Xinqiu just wanted to go outside, but Secretary Lu suddenly waved his hand and said, "Comrade Gong Xinqiu, let's go find this comrade together!" I thought about it for a moment just now, and for such a brave and courageous comrade, we should take the initiative to visit him and express our respect to him, instead of sitting here on a high ground and waiting to meet him. ”

So saying, he took the lead and went to the door.

Li Runji, Guo Guangwei and others hurriedly followed behind Secretary Lu, and several people came to the gate of the hospital. Gong Xinqiu called a squadron leader of the special police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of guarding outside the hospital, and asked, "Who from your special police detachment escorted the ambulance over last night?" Were you there? ”

The squadron leader hurriedly nodded and replied, "Secretary Gong, last night, because most of the police forces were mobilized to Longpan Mountain to round up criminals, we didn't go back to rest after we escorted the ambulance to the hospital, and we have been on duty here." ”

Gong Xinqiu nodded and said, "Hard work!" By the way, did the van that carried Comrade Ye Ming last night follow you to the hospital? What about the master? ”

The squadron leader thought for a moment and said, "At that time, the van followed us, but because after we came to the hospital, we were busy treating the wounded, and later we had a guard mission, so we didn't know where the van master went. ”

Secretary Lu heard the squadron leader say that they didn't know the whereabouts of the van driver who acted bravely, and he was quite unhappy, and the look on his face was a little unpleasant.

Gong Xinqiu secretly glanced at Secretary Lu, and saw that he seemed to be very unhappy, so he hurriedly said to the squadron leader, "How did you do it?" That van master sacrificed his life and forgot his life to save Comrade Ye Ming from the pursuit of the gangsters, why didn't you arrange for him to rest properly? For such good comrades, our municipal party committee and government will commend and reward them with great fanfare in the future. If he doesn't say goodbye, how are we going to find him in the future? What a mess! ”

The squadron leader's face turned crimson, and he hurriedly made a review, and then said to Gong Xinqiu: "Secretary Gong, let's go to the hospital parking lot to find out first, and see if the van is still there." If he was there, the master should be in the hospital, but I don't know where he is. ”

With that, he trotted to the hospital parking apron and saw the van parked at the opening. There were still traces of Ye Ming's blood on the door, but looking in from the window, the driver was not in the car.

Later, several police officers searched around the hospital's outpatient rooms and emergency rooms, and finally found the driver who was sleeping on a bench in the injection room.

It was about 6:10 a.m., and there was no one in the injection room except the driver.

Secretary Lu walked in with Li Runji and others, and saw that the driver with a dark face was woken up by the police in a deep sleep, and he was pouting unhappily, where he kept rubbing his red and swollen eyes because of last night's high tension and lack of sleep.

Seeing Secretary Lu and others coming in, he thought that the leaders of the hospital were going to drive him out, or to blame himself, so he quickly jumped down from the bench, looked at Secretary Lu and the others a few times embarrassedly, lowered his head and wanted to sneak out of this group of majestic "hospital leaders".

Seeing that he wanted to slip away, Gong Xinqiu hurriedly stopped beside him, and said with a smile: "Master, don't leave yet." The leaders around me are Secretary Lu and Secretary Li of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee, Director Guo of the Provincial Public Security Department, and Secretary General Qiu of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and they have come to visit you. ”
