Chapter 52: Each with Their Own Agenda

  Chapter Fifty-two Each with Their Own Agenda

  "Wang Zhi, thank you." Lin Xueyan had somehow appeared behind Wang Zhi and said softly.

  "What's wrong? I'm a doctor, saving lives is my duty." said Wang Zhi.

  "There are many doctors nationwide, but there may be only a few who can save my grandfather. I still know this, anyway thank you." Lin Xueyan said again.

  "Haha, that's because they're not lucky. I think there are many doctors who would be eager to treat your grandfather," Wang Zhi said with a smile, and what he said was true. With Lin Lao's status, it's really unknown how many doctors would be eager to curry favor with him.

  "That's also true, but still thank you, I know you're different from them." Lin Xueyan smiled too.

  "There's no free lunch, I won't save Old Lin for nothing, this medical bill isn't cheap." Wang Zhi said with a brazen gaze at Lin Xueyan, making her blush and stiffen before bursting into laughter and walking away.

  Lin Xueyan watched Wang Zhi walk away with a big smile, and she stomped her foot heavily, silently cursing: "Bastard." Only then did she slowly follow him.

  Back home, Wang Zhi started making pills overnight. This unexpected event taught Wang Zhi a lesson, he didn't dare to be too arrogant, there are always many unknown changes in the world. Take tonight's events for example, if Lin Lao really went, he might have been the prime suspect, and Lin Qiangwei might not even have given him a chance to defend himself.

  Wang Zhi had been busy until two o'clock in the morning before he fell into a deep sleep.

  The next morning, while Wang Zhi was still immersed in his dreams, the Jianghuai City Drug Administration and major pharmacies were swarmed with law enforcement officers, causing a stir among the people.

  Jianghuai Municipal Government Office Building, Jiang Huanyang had just sat down in his office when his secretary rushed in.

  "What's going on? You're all flustered." Jiang Huanyang scolded with a stern face.

  "Mayor Jiang, just now the Drug Administration Bureau called and said that Mayor Lin is sending someone to inspect the bureau. Secretary Mi is leading the team." The secretary hastily said, as Vice Mayor Jiang Huan-yang was in charge of the Health Department, and since something had happened at the Drug Administration Bureau, he would inevitably be held responsible.

  "What?" Jiang Huan Yang sprang up from his chair and sternly asked.

  "The American secretary is bringing people to inspect the drug regulatory bureau." The secretary was frightened and hastily repeated.

  "Alright, I know, you can go now." Jiang Huanyang waved his hand and said weakly.

  The secretary hastily retreated, and upon seeing the secretary leave, Jiang Huanyang suddenly slumped into his chair like a deflated balloon. The secretary was unaware of the situation, but he knew it all too well - over the years, he had taken many benefits from the pharmaceutical merchants. Now that the drug regulatory agency was in trouble, it couldn't be said that Lin Qiwu wasn't taking revenge on him.

  "No way, I absolutely can't just sit here and wait for death." Jiang Huanyang leaned back in his chair, staring blankly for half a day, then suddenly sat up and picked up the phone on the table. He had to first understand the situation clearly - why Lin Qiwai suddenly started investigating the Drug Monitoring Bureau.

  "Is this Secretary Feng? I'm Jiang Huanyang."

  "Feng Hua asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" As the municipal party secretary, Feng Hua was also aware of Jiang Huanyang's actions over this period of time and had some reservations about him. However, as the municipal party secretary, Feng Hua was originally somewhat weaker than Mayor Lin Qiwu, and Jiang Huanyang, although not very capable, was still a vice mayor. At times, Feng Hua still needed to rely on Jiang Huanyang's support; otherwise, his position as municipal party secretary would be nothing more than a mere formality. Perhaps in the entire country of China, there wasn't another municipal party secretary as embarrassing as Feng Hua."

  "I just received a message, saying that Mayor Lin sent someone to the Drug Administration Bureau, do you know about this?" Jiang Huanyang asked tentatively. Lin Qiyuan didn't even inform his deputy mayor, and if he doesn't inform the municipal party secretary, things will get really serious.

  "I just arrived at the office and haven't received any news yet." Feng Hua said calmly, upon hearing that it was Lin Qiwu's matter, Feng Hua instinctively didn't want to get involved.

  Upon hearing Feng Hua's response, Jiang Huanyang's heart gradually sank, but he still carefully said: "This, Mayor Lin didn't even give me a heads up, this is somewhat excessive."

  "Hmph! That's going too far, when has Lin Qiwang not gone too far?!" Feng Hua coldly snorted in her heart, but said: "I know about this matter, I'll ask Mayor Lin later, you don't have to worry either, who knows, maybe Mayor Lin received some news at the last minute and that's why he didn't discuss it with you, the deputy mayor."

  After hanging up the phone, Feng Hua called in his secretary and asked, "I heard that Mayor Lin sent someone to the Drug Administration Bureau, do you know anything about it?"

  "I just received the news and haven't had time to report back to you yet." The secretary said hastily, also feeling puzzled in her heart, how did Secretary Feng know about it as soon as he arrived.

  "What's going on? Tell me." Feng Hua asked casually, picking up a newspaper.

  "It's said that Old Man Lin suddenly fell critically ill last night, and this morning all the pharmacies received emergency inspection notices. Secretary Mi also rushed to the Pharmaceutical Bureau early this morning." The secretary said cautiously.

  "Alright, I know. You can go now." Feng Hua said calmly, waiting until the secretary left before slowly putting down the newspaper in his hand. A glint of light flashed across his eyes as he muttered to himself: "Looks like the old man is in serious trouble this time. Otherwise, that Lin kid wouldn't be so furious. Hopefully, the old man will just drop it now."

  For the Lin family, Feng Hua really hated them to the bone. By rights, since Old Lin had been the mayor of Jianghuai before, Lin Qiwu shouldn't have been allowed to take office in Jianghuai again. However, Old Lin was still alive and held high prestige, so many people didn't dare speak out. As a result, Feng Hua, the municipal party secretary, suffered greatly. Originally, Jianghuai was the Lin family's old turf, with their power and influence deeply entrenched. Adding to that was Old Lin's reputation, making it difficult for Feng Hua to serve as party secretary, who knew how many times he had cursed Old Lin in his heart.

  In the whole Jianghuai, Feng Hua is absolutely the first person who wishes Lin Lao to have an accident. Once Lin Lao is gone, Lin Qiwei will be like a kite without a string and immediately become harmless. Whether he can keep his position as the mayor of Jianghuai City is still uncertain.

  "Come in," Feng Hua suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, the secretary hurriedly ran in.

  "Secretary Feng, what instructions do you have?"

  "Get me a car, I want to go visit Old Lin." Feng Hua smiled and said: "Old Lin has dedicated his life to the people, he is the pride of the party. As the municipal party secretary, I should personally go to visit him."

  Wang Zhi slept very soundly and didn't get up until after 9 o'clock. When he walked out of the house, both Xu Xiaoran and Lin Xueyan had already gone to work. Xu Xiaoran recently found a job at a company as an office clerk.

  Walking into the living room, a note was left on the table with Xu Xiaoran's handwriting: Breakfast is being kept warm in the pot in the kitchen, remember to eat when you get up.

  Wang Zhi washed his face and had dinner, it was already after 10 o'clock. He then took the medicine he had prepared last night and walked into the hospital. Last night, Old Lin had taken the medicine he prescribed and his body had slowly recovered. Today, taking this medicine should be able to cure him completely. He also felt like he had put down a burden, and it was also a kind of explanation to Lin Qiwei and Lin Xueyan.
