Chapter 1365: The Jiang faction got stronger

The next day.

Morning. The County hospital,

A needle prick awakened Dong Xuebing. He gasped in pain, and his half-asleep state, he instinctively reached out and twisted. He knocked down the almost 80kg nurse who was giving him an injection. There was a muffled thud, followed by the nurse's screams.

In the hospital room.

Several doctors and nurses were dumbfounded.

"Oh, my back!"

"Sister Chen, are you okay?"

"What are you doing, Mayor Dong?"

"Quick, help Xiao Chen up. This is getting out of hand."

The nurse was too heavy and took three people to help her. She sat on a chair, grimacing in pain. The fall was painful.

Dong Xuebing finally saw that it was a nurse. He looked at the half-filled syringe in his arm and, with a wry smile, sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard. "Why didn't you say anything before giving me the injection? Wake me up first. I thought someone was attacking me. Sorry, nurse."

The nurse, weighing almost 80kg, needed three people to help her get up.

You're supposed to be a patient, but you twisted her wrist and knocked her down just like that. You don't look like a patient at all.

The nurse assigned to Dong Xuebing smiled bitterly. "Last night, you managed to secretly pull out the IV needle in the middle of the night. We worried you wouldn't listen to the doctor, so we wanted to give you the injection while you were still asleep. Who knew you'd react so strongly even in your sleep."

Dong Xuebin chuckled, "You could have told me. I just got a shot without realizing what was going on. How was I supposed to know?"

That nurse was unfortunate.

Are you all right, Nurse? Dong Xuebing looked at her.

The unfortunate nurse groaned, "I'm fine."

Several doctors and nurses began to examine his wounds, completed the injection, reminded him to take medicine, and then closed the door and left.

Ring, ring, ring, the phone rang.

Checking the number, it was Jiang Fangfang calling.

"Hello," Dong Xuebing answered, "Sister Jiang."

Jiang Fangfang replied, "I'm at your house and have taken your clothes."

Dong Xuebing sighed, "Alright, thank you. Sorry for the trouble."

Jiang Fangfang said indifferently, "But I couldn't find your underwear and socks. Where did you put them?"

"Ah?" Dong Xuebing's face reddened, "Cough, cough. They should be in the cabinet. I'm not sure."

"There's nothing in the cabinet. I found some unwashed socks in the washing machine. I just washed them for you, but they haven't dried yet. I can't bring them to you right now."

"Oh no, you're troubling yourself again. I can wash them myself."

"I've already washed them. Think about where you put your underwear."

"Right, I remember now. They're probably in my suitcase. I forgot to take them out after I got back."

"I'll take a look." There was a clatter on the other side. Half a minute later, Jiang Fangfang said casually, "Hmm, found them. I'm coming to the hospital. I am hanging up."

The call ended.

Outside another single-patient room.

Zeng Jinhuas parents spotted Jiang Fangfang and Dong Xuebing before they reached the door. They immediately stood up to welcome them excitedly.

"Mayor Dong!"

"Thank you, Mayor Dong. Thank you!"

The elderly couple looked tired and had dark circles under their eyes. It was evident that they had stayed up all night in the hospital room without sleeping. Now that their daughter had awakened, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know how to express their gratitude to Dong Xuebing. The old man, leaning on his walking stick, shook Dong Xuebing's hand vigorously with one hand.

Chu Peng, who was by the hospital bed, also stood up.

Dong Xuebing quickly said, "Please, don't do this. It's what I should do. You already thanked me yesterday. Let's not talk about it today."

The old lady said, "There is no such thing as what you should do. We have no relation to each other, yet you risked your life to save Jinhua. We will remember this favor for a lifetime."

Dong Xuebing smiled and said, "It's not that serious. It's good that Sister Zeng has awakened."

Chu Peng immediately asked, "What about you, Mayor Dong?"

"The wounds have been stitched up. I'm fine now," Dong Xuebing replied.

Lying in the hospital bed, Zeng Jinhua suddenly spoke softly, "Mayor Dong, are you here? Old Chu, help me get up."

Chu Peng immediately said, "How can you get up now?"

Dong Xuebing said, "Sister Zeng, you can't. You just had surgery, and your recovery will take several months." Knowing she couldn't get up, he walked over and sat on the edge of the hospital bed. "How do you feel? Do you feel anywhere uncomfortable?"

After yesterday's events, the old lady had a lot of confidence in Dong Xuebing's medical skills. She said, "Jinhua mentioned she felt dizzy and nauseous."

Dong Xuebing smiled, "That's okay. It's normal to have these symptoms after anesthesia." He checked the blood pressure and electrocardiogram on the nearby instruments. "Alright, everything looks stable for now. It seems fine, but don't let your guard down. The first half month after surgery is crucial. Make sure the patient avoids getting chilled and infected. If there are any signs of fever, inform the doctor immediately. Well, I might need to stay a few more days. You can tell me also."

The elderly couple kept expressing their gratitude.

Zeng Jinhua turned her head with difficulty to look at Dong Xuebing and managed to muster a gentle smile, "Mayor Dong, thank you. I heard about what happened when I was unconscious from Old Chu."

Dong Xuebing said, "Don't mention it. Just focus on recovering and avoid talking too much."

Zeng Jinhua weakly said, "You also need to rest. I'm sorry for getting you injured because of me." She said, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Dong Xuebing said, "Don't worry, and rest well."

Chu Peng wiped away his wife's tears with a handkerchief. He was feeling a bit emotional, too.

The elderly couple do not know much about official matters. They pulled Dong Xuebing aside to express gratitude and asked about his injuries.

Chu Peng didn't say much. Some things were kept in his heart. Seeing Dong Xuebin chatting with his in-laws, he walked to Jiang Fangfang.

"Mayor Jiang."

"You haven't slept all night. You must be tired."

"I'm holding up."

"Let your wife rest. She cannot rest well with so many people around. The doctors will watch her. Let's go have breakfast together," Jiang Fangfang suggested, glancing at him.

Chu Peng nodded without hesitation. "Sure."

Jiang Fangfang asked Dong Xuebin and the elderly couple.

The elderly couple had just eaten, and Dong Xuebin had to go for tests shortly, so they were not joining.

"Then, let's go," Jiang Fangfang said. She and Chu Peng left the ward together.

Watching them leave, Dong Xuebing nodded slightly. He knew the Political and Legal Affairs Commission would join the Jiang Faction again. The Jiang faction would likely gain another influential member soon.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
