Chen Jing is gone.

Tan Jie lightly went to Mo Zheng's study to add tea to him.

Mo Zheng had already stopped reviewing the documents, he lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, his expression quite serious.

"Xiao Chen is gone?" Mo Zhengdao.

Tan Jie was stunned and said, "Director Chen left early, I'll ......"

Mo Zheng waved his hand and said, "Give him a call, I still have something to tell him!" ”

Tan Jie picked up the phone and found Chen Jing's number from the confidential phone book and dialed it.

Chen Jing did not go far at this time, and when he came out of the compound of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Chen Jing asked the third brother to stop the car on the edge of the Lingjiang River.

He lit a cigarette and stood on the embankment of the Lingjiang River, holding the fence next to the embankment with both hands, staring into the distance without speaking.

At night, you can't see the river clearly, and you can only see the street lights winding on both sides of the river.

There are occasional lights on the river, and they are cargo ships passing by at night.

The hustle and bustle on the other side of the road has been blocked by the rows of trees behind the embankment.

Standing in Chen Jing's position, all he could hear was the rippling of the river and the sound of lapping on the riverbank.

"Ding, ding!" The phone rings loudly

Chen Jing took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, frowning slightly.

He pressed the answer button, and Tan Jie's familiar voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Director Chen?" Hello! The secretary wants to talk to you! ”

Before Chen Jing could speak, Mo Zheng's deep voice sounded on the other side of the phone: "Is it Xiao Chen?" ”

"Yes, secretary, what other instructions do you have?" Chen Jingdao.

Mo Zheng coughed lightly twice, as if he was hesitating about something. After a while, he said:

"Xiao Chen, why don't you go to northern Jiangsu in the past few days......?"

Going to northern Jiangsu?

Chen Jing was stunned, and he didn't know why Mo Zheng suddenly let himself go to northern Jiangsu.

His lips twitched, wanting to ask why, but he didn't know how to speak.

Fortunately, Mo Zheng didn't let him doubt for too long, and said, "You go and see Secretary Sha!" He called me for your sake. As long as you don't stay too long, it won't take much effort to come and go! ”

Chen Jing frowned. It suddenly occurred to me that something might be wrong with the situation.

Why did Mo Zheng suddenly let himself go to see Secretary Sha?

"Alright. It's not early, you go back and have a good rest! The more urgent the matter, the more it cannot be rushed. It's the right way to work! ”

Mo Zheng hung up the phone. Chen Jing looked at his phone in a daze. Took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he suddenly snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, turned his head and said, "Third brother." Let's go! You call Zhong Jun and ask him to arrange a ticket for me to go to northern Jiangsu tomorrow, the sooner the better! ”

Chen Jing suddenly made a decision to go to northern Jiangsu, but he couldn't sleep at night.

He kept savoring Mo Zheng's words and carefully considered the words.

He became more and more aware that there might be something wrong with Secretary Sha.

Because it was impossible for Mo Zheng to let himself go to northern Jiangsu for no reason, and listening to his tone at that time, it was obviously quite low.

This made Chen Jing feel uneasy......

Sleepless nights.

The next morning, Chen Jing called Secretary Sha's secretary Zuo Shuai.

As soon as the phone was connected, he asked, "Director Zuo, is the secretary okay?" ”

"Ah...... Belch...... That ......" Zuo Shuai was stumbling on the other end of the phone.

Chen Jing's heart sank suddenly, realizing that something was indeed wrong.

He pondered for a while, and then said: "Secretary Mo of our provincial party committee arranged for me to go to Jiangning today, mainly to visit Secretary Sha......

Zuo Shuai paused for a long time on the other end of the phone before trying to spit out a few words: "The situation is not optimistic, you will be clear when you come over!" ”

Countless thoughts instantly turned through Chen Jing's mind.

He had a lot of questions to ask, and he wanted to ask Secretary Sha what was going on? Where are you now? Where do you have to go to see him, and so on.

But these are not the right questions.

Chen Jing paid close attention to the news of various provinces and cities, and did not see any news about Sha Mingde's accident.

Secretary Sha is now a dignified member of the Political Bureau and is a pivotal figure in the political arena of the Republic.

What does it mean for such a character to have a problem but no media coverage?

This means that the situation is absolutely confidential, and the scope of knowledge is quite narrow.

What needs to be kept secret and is worth keeping secret?

Chen Jing couldn't make an accurate judgment for a while, he simply ate breakfast, went straight to the airport, and then flew straight to Jiangning.

……

Jiang Ning, Chen Jing came out of the VIP passage of the airport and called Zuo Shuai.

As soon as he took out the phone, he saw Zuo Shuai waving at him at the entrance of the passage.

He hurriedly put away the phone, walked over quickly, and said, "Director Zuo, you are too polite. Thank you for picking me up personally! ”

The corners of Zuo Shuai's mouth twitched, and he showed a smile, but immediately, his face returned to seriousness, and said, "It was arranged by the secretary, and the secretary is very unhappy that you came over!" But ......"

Chen Jing bit his lip and said, "Director Zuo, what's going on with the secretary?" ”

Zuo Shuai's face changed, pointed to the car next to him, and changed the topic: "Let's get in the car first!" ”

Zuo Shuai drove the car, his eyes looked at the front for a moment, and after a long time, he said: "Director Chen, you can't stay too long in the hospital later, you can only stay for half an hour at most." I won't tell you about some of the rules of secrecy.

Since Secretary Mo arranged for you to come over, he must have informed you in advance! ”

He let out a long breath and said, "The secretary is very difficult and painful now, and we are all very uncomfortable......"

Chen Jing's face changed dramatically, he moved his lips a few times, but in the end he swallowed everything he wanted to say.

He pursed his lips, his face already pale, and countless thoughts intertwined in his head.

From the bottom of his heart, the contact between Chen Jing and Sha Mingde is not as much as it is rumored to be from the outside world.

Back then in Chujiang, Chen Jing's rank was too low, and it was difficult to see Secretary Sha.

After Sha Mingde left Chujiang, Chen Jing went to Lingnan.

In Lingnan, Chen Jing has only met Secretary Sha once.

But this is a limited number of meetings. Chen Jing felt that his relationship with Secretary Sha had never been closer.

Undoubtedly, as a junior, Chen Jing was very moved by Secretary Sha's concern for him.

Sha Mingde's work attitude, firm belief, leadership art, and personal charm also made Chen Jing learn a lot from him.

Sometimes Chen Jing thinks that he is just a child from an ordinary teaching craftsman family, why does Secretary Sha care and encourage him so much?

Undoubtedly, in terms of promoting juniors. Shamingde is really selfless.

In Chen Jing's cranky thoughts. The car has driven into Jiangning Guangci Hospital.

Passing through the courtyard of Guangci Hospital, there is a quiet passage at the back.

Walk along the passage, about a kilometer away, and there should be the Gaogan ward area of Guangci Hospital.

As soon as you enter here. Chen Jing's heart suddenly became tense.

Zuo Shuai found a parking space. The two got out of the car. Chen Jing found that the surroundings were heavily guarded, and outside the courtyard of a red walled building, there were two armed martial artists standing straight at the door.

And the corridor leading to this building. Every few meters away, there are already heavy sentry posts.

Zuo Shuai took Chen Jing all the way unimpeded and entered the red sè wall.

There's a small courtyard in there.

The courtyard is rich in vegetation and stands out for a large grapevine trellis.

It's autumn and the vines are still green.

And the flowers and plants in the yard are also competing for beauty, and they are extraordinarily beautiful.

Chen Jing's eyes swept from the courtyard, and his eyes quickly fixed on the bottom of the grape trellis.

Beneath the grape trellis is a table and a chair, and in front of it is a coffee table and a wooden sofa made of beech.

On the office chair, a person sat upright.

He was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown, with a gray cap on his head.

From the ears, his hair seems to have been shaved, and there is not a trace of hair in the ears.

"Sand ...... Clerk! Chen Jing took a step forward and said loudly, his voice was a little excited!

Sha Mingde was looking at a document in his hand when he heard Chen Jing's voice and turned his head to look at Chen Jing.

He turned his head, and Chen Jing suddenly found that Sha Mingde was much thinner than before, the cheekbones of his cheeks were high and protruding, and his eyes seemed to be very bright.

But such a look is intimidating, and it makes people feel an invisible pressure.

Zuo Shuai approached Sha Mingde and said, "Secretary, Director Chen has come all the way from Guangdong to visit you!" ”

Shamingde withdrew his gaze, did not speak, and pointed to the beech sofa in front of his desk.

Chen Jing didn't sit down, he approached Sha Mingde, his nose was a little sour, and said, "Secretary, you are ......"

Sha Mingde slapped his mouth, and his voice was very hoarse, "Sit down!" Xiao Zuo, you go and bring the box of Longjing in the room, Xiao Chen likes to drink tea! ”

Zuo Shuai slowly retreated.

Shamingde pointed to the sofa again and said, "Sit down!" This is my open-air office, and the environment is not bad! ”

Chen Jing sat on the sofa slowly, but his eyes did not take his eyes off Sha Mingde.

Seeing Sha Mingde at this time, no matter how stupid Chen Jing was, he knew that his body was in a very serious condition.

The man was so thin that he was skinny and boneless, his hair was all shaved, and his voice had changed, not as thick as before, but hoarse as he was now.

"Did you Secretary Mo ask you to come?" Shamingde asked.

Chen Jing nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Mo talked to me last night, and finally he asked me to come to Jiangning to see you!" ”

Sha Mingde waved his hand and said, "I don't have anything to look at, don't you think I'm good now?" You Secretary Mo has done this too much! ”

With a smile on his face, he put down the document he was holding, pointed his finger at the void, and changed the conversation:

"Xiao Chen, you have worked in Lingnan in the past few years, and it has changed you a lot! Compared to when you were in Chujiang, you are much calmer, which is very encouraging! ”

Chen Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary, you have to take care of your body." Now is the best time for the development of northern Jiangsu, and the people of northern Jiangsu are looking forward to creating brilliance under your leadership! ”

Sha Mingde snorted and said, "Xiao Chen, what you said is a bit against your will, right?" Northern Jiangsu has created brilliance, can you Lingnan be happy? (To be continued.) )
