Chen Xing didn't say much, nodded, and went straight to the plane, seeing that the middle-aged colonel didn't mean to keep up, but left in a military jeep, Chen Xing didn't have time to pay much attention, he was also worried about the safety of Old Man Zhang, and even the things he heard about Cheng Rongjiang and Lu Ming before were temporarily put aside, compared to the safety of Old Man Zhang, their struggle at this level in the city is tantamount to a child's house.

got on the plane, Chen Xing knew that there were still people on the plane, this military plane, it didn't look like he was the only one who was going to the capital, the other party was facing the direction of the cabin door, sitting by the window of the cabin, Chen Xing could only see the back of the other party, gray hair, looking like an old man, this was Chen Xing's first impression, but what attracted Chen Xing more was undoubtedly the little Venus on the old man's military uniform that stabbed him a little dazzling, three small Venus, highlighting the old man's noble and prominent identity.

Chen Xing's face was quietly solemn, with the rank of general, this is the highest military rank in the Republic at present.

I don't know the identity of the old man, but the other party appeared on this military plane, and this is in the Yangcheng Military Region, Chen Xing also guessed the identity of the old man, and didn't think much about it, Chen Xing walked to the position, walked lightly, and didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing the old man, no one who faced such an old man with the rank of general would not dare to offend at all.

When he walked to the table, when he saw the old man's face clearly, Chen Xing realized that the cognition he could see from the back just now was a little biased, although the other party was already full of white hair, but he was not as old as he imagined, looking at his face, the other party should be in his fifties, still looking young, but his hair was much whiter.

"Mayor Chen is here, please take a seat." The other party smiled slightly and nodded at Chen Xing, but behind the smile, his expression was also quite solemn, and his brows frowned slightly.

Chen Xing nodded lightly, with a solemn face, he was not sure about the back just now, but at this time he had already recognized the identity of the old man, the commander of the Yangcheng Military Region, General Cai Zhiyuan, one of the famous generals in the republican ** circle, the other party did not look old except for the white hair, but Chen Xing knew very well that Cai Zhiyuan was also over sixty years old, and he was also a senior old man in the military, and he was a hawkish representative of the military in the eyes of foreign media.

"Mayor Chen, please drink water." Someone on the side poured Chen Xing a glass of water and brought it over, Chen Xing only noticed at this time that there were other people in the cabin besides Cai Zhiyuan, who was also a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel.

Chen Xing didn't sit down immediately, but shouted respectfully, "Commander Cai." ”

"Sit down, there's no outsider here." Cai Zhiyuan smiled.

Chen Xing sat down at this time, because he was not familiar with Cai Zhiyuan, and he lacked knowledge of this military hardliner who was very famous in the eyes of the outside world, Chen Xing seemed extremely cautious, and did not speak much, plus he was still worried about the situation of Old Man Zhang, Chen Xing also had no intention of opening up at this time.

Chen Xing didn't speak, and Cai Zhiyuan was also relatively silent, his already wrinkled brows wrinkled from time to time, as if he had something on his mind, and his solemn expression never showed the slightest sign of relief.

The plane took off, cut through the sky, and rushed into the sky, the earth became farther and farther away from the feet, condescending, and all living beings and everything were so small.

Chen Xing raised his hand from time to time to look at the time, looking worried, it took more than two hours to take a plane from Yangcheng to the capital, and for more than two hours, he couldn't receive the news from the ground, and he couldn't know what the situation was now after Old Man Zhang was sent to the hospital.

Chen Xing occasionally glanced at Cai Zhiyuan, who was sitting opposite, and didn't know if this prominent and powerful figure in the military circle happened to be going to the capital or had the same purpose as him, and rushed to the capital because of Old Man Zhang's affairs.

The cabin was very quiet, Cai Zhiyuan turned his head to look out the window, and after a while, he turned around and said to Chen Xing, "Mayor Chen has come to Yangcheng to attract investment in the past two days?" ”

"Well, Yangcheng is the forefront of reform and opening up, the private economy here is developed, and private capital is also extremely active, and we also hope to attract more private capital to invest in Nanzhou." Chen Xing said.

Cai Zhiyuan nodded undeniably, he is a military figure, but he doesn't care much about local affairs, and at this time, the cabin is too quiet, and Chen Xing seems quite restrained, so he took the initiative to ask.

Cai Zhiyuan opened the topic first, and Chen Xing chatted with Cai Zhiyuan for a few words, the atmosphere was not as silent as just now, Chen Xing saw that the famous tough figure in the military in front of him was not as strict and unsmiling as he imagined, and his mentality relaxed a little.

The middle-aged colonel sitting at the front of the cabin seemed to have been keeping in touch with the special equipment on the guò military plane and the ground, Chen Xing didn't know if the middle-aged colonel had received any information from the ground, only to see the middle-aged colonel walk up to Cai Zhiyuan's side and say something in his ear, Cai Zhiyuan's face was slightly softened, and he looked a little happy.

The middle-aged colonel quickly walked away again, and the look on Cai Zhiyuan's face returned to calm, but he didn't look as dignified as just now, he turned his head and glanced at Chen Xing, only to hear Cai Zhiyuan say, "There was news from the ** side just now, Old Man Zhang's situation is stable now, there is no need to worry too much, is Mayor Chen relieved when he hears the news?" ”

"Oh, really?" Chen Xing's face was overjoyed, and he subconsciously asked a rhetorical question, and as soon as the words came out, seeing Cai Zhiyuan looking at him with a smile on his face, Chen Xing also smiled awkwardly, what kind of character is Cai Zhiyuan, how could he joke about this kind of thing.

The good news brought by Cai Zhiyuan diluted many of Chen Xing's worries, but the next moment, Chen Xing couldn't help but look at Cai Zhiyuan twice, Cai Zhiyuan took the initiative to mention such news to him, could it be that Cai Zhiyuan's trip was the same as his purpose?

Chen Xing's gaze stayed on Cai Zhiyuan for a while and then quickly left, Cai Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Chen Xing didn't dare to open his mouth to test anything, in case Cai Zhiyuan didn't belong to the Zhang family's camp, then he would be a little presumptuous to speak, but think carefully about the change in his expression before and after hearing the report of the colonel under him, Chen Xing also had some guesses in his heart, even if Cai Zhiyuan and the Zhang family are not in the same camp, but there should be no hostility towards the Zhang family, judging from Cai Zhiyuan's look just now, Cai Zhiyuan also didn't want Old Man Zhang to return to the West as soon as possible, if it was the hostile faction of the Zhang family, I am afraid that he would have long wished that Old Man Zhang would never be able to get up again if he fell this time.

"Old man Zhang is also over 90 years old this year." After being silent for a while, Cai Zhiyuan suddenly said with emotion.

"It's more than ninety, just past the New Year, and one more year old." Chen Xing nodded.

"Yes, he is a year older, I think Old Man Zhang is old and strong, even Lord Yama doesn't dare to accept him lightly, I believe he can carry this hurdle." Cai Zhiyuan said indifferently.

"I hope that with Commander Cai's auspicious words, the old man can always be safe." Chen Xing said solemnly, observing Cai Zhiyuan quietly, thinking to himself Could it be that Cai Zhiyuan really belongs to the Zhang family? But looking at Cai Zhiyuan's appearance, it doesn't seem to be like it.

After Cai Zhiyuan said this, he seemed silent again, and Chen Xing also kept quiet.

The time on the plane passed quickly, although Chen Xing and Cai Zhiyuan did not communicate much, only occasionally said a few words, and the atmosphere was more quiet and silent, but Chen Xing did not feel that time passed slowly, maybe he heard the news that Old Man Zhang's situation was temporarily stable, Chen Xing's nerves were no longer tight, and he could be a little relieved.

The plane landed at the airport of the Beijing Military Region, and Cai Zhiyuan also got off the plane together, but he did not mean to go to the hospital, the military region arranged two special cars, one was prepared for Chen Xing, Cai Zhiyuan just bowed slightly to Chen Xing, which was regarded as a farewell, and then got into another car, which was diametrically opposite to Chen Xing's direction.

Chen Xing sat in the car, and he didn't have the heart to guess whether Cai Zhiyuan came to the capital for business or what, the first thing after getting in the car, Chen Xing called his wife Zhang Ningning and asked how the old man was doing, because he also learned about the old man's situation in time on the plane, so Chen Xing was not too worried at this time.

Zhang Ningning is a lot more stable than when he called Chen Xing at the beginning, but he still looks very depressed, Chen Xing can hear that his wife is still worried about the old man's body, the old man is an old man after all, he is more than eighty years old, even if there is no illness or disaster, the natural aging of body functions is a cruel fact that people have to face, aging is a life process that people themselves cannot stop, people from birth to old age, they always have to experience death.

I can't say much on the phone, the car was arranged by the Beijing Military Region, and the driver is also from the Beijing Military Region, Chen Xing doesn't want to talk more sensitive words with his wife on the phone, and he must be careful of the vigilance that the wall has ears, Chen Xing still has it, and the complexity of the internal shape of the army is no less than that of the locality.

After arriving, Chen Xing also felt an extraordinary tense atmosphere, several small buildings behind the main ward were heavily guarded, all of them were guarded by soldiers with loaded guns, and vehicles had to go through strict checks when they entered and exited, and not everyone could enter and exit at will.

Zhang Ningning walked outside to pick up Chen Xing, Chen Xing was able to go in, in a small villa building, from time to time there were medical staff wearing white coats in and out, and the core personnel of the Zhang family had already gathered together, only a few people could enter the ward, and everyone squeezed into the ward in a noisy manner would also affect the old man's rest, so most of the people could only stay outside, and the look on everyone's face was not relaxed.

Everyone here is now prominent outside, and there are compliments everywhere they go, even if it is just a side child of the Zhang family, and this all stems from the old man Zhang who is still alive, from the current power of the Zhang family, if the old man Zhang falls, the Zhang family as the core of the Zhang family will always not fall apart, but it will not be as good as before, this is what everyone does not want to see, but everyone knows that with the old man's advanced age, this day will come sooner or later, but no one wants to think about it before, willing to face it, Today, the old man coughed up blood and fainted, and finally made people feel scared and frightened, I don't know if the old man, Optimus Prime, really fell, and where the Zhang family will go.

After Chen Xing arrived, he learned more details when he walked in with Zhang Ningning, and personally examined the old man was the president of the General Military Medical Hospital, and the result of the inspection was that the old man did not have any serious diseases, except for some diseases that fell in the early years, such as rheumatic joints, etc., the old man did not have any new diseases, this time the old man coughed up blood, it was a long cough and hurt his lungs, plus the old man was old, his body was aging, and he coughed more severely than usual in the past few days, and he did not rest well, so he suddenly fainted.
