Volume 3 Brothers Chapter 12 Action (Part 2)
The two nurses held them back and said, "Don't be nervous, relax." The chief asked hurriedly, "Wasn't he fine yesterday? How come he is in critical condition all of a sudden?" The chief recognized one of the nurses as his father's special nurse. He gave the young nurse an extra salary of 100 yuan a day, 5,000 yuan in total. If she gets better within 50 days and is discharged early, the extra money will be considered a bonus. The chief looked at her and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
The young nurse looked at the gun leader and said nervously, "Originally it was just pneumonia and tracheitis, but the old man suddenly fell into a coma last night. After examination at noon today, we found... cancer cells in his liver... and they were spreading. This is a mistake on our part, Mr. Chen, please stay calm."
Liver cancer! Is the old man's life so good? He got liver cancer just when he started to enjoy his life. Alas, the gun commander closed his eyes, and his heart suddenly hurt. My father had lived in the mountains all his life and had never been to the county town. When the road was just opened in the 1980s, he saw a car for the first time and exclaimed: "What a big iron bull! It's really amazing!" This was passed down until the gun commander was twelve years old, and people forgot it faintly, but the elderly often mentioned it as a joke. I will take him on a plane, a train or a ship, take him to Beijing, to Tiananmen Square, to the Forbidden City, take him to take a walk on the beach, find him two tender and tender little girls, buy him some Viagra, let him enjoy life thoroughly, after all, he is my gun commander's father, and he has to be romantic and coquettish when he comes to this world! Isn't it just money? I have so much money, and I will be richer in the future... His mind began to wander uncontrollably again, and Zhang Liqiu slowly stabilized his mind when he saw the gun commander.
"So what's the situation now? Is there any hope?"
The nurse smiled and said, "It is the hospital's policy to call for a critical illness, but in this case our doctors usually don't notice anything unexpected and will quickly discharge the patient. The spread of cancer cells is not serious either. The key is that the old man's body may not be able to handle a major surgery, so this is very contradictory."
After waiting outside the emergency room for half an hour, the door was pushed open. The gun chief's father looked a little pale, and it was obvious that the anesthesia had not worn off. The attending doctor said to the gun chief, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. The basic condition is now stable. Please come with me to the office and we will discuss it."
The gun captain nodded to Zhang Liqiu and followed the doctor. The doctor's surname was Xu. He was one of the most authoritative experts in the provincial hospital. He was almost sixty years old this year. Looking at the other person's ruddy face, but his eyebrows were already gray. The gun captain asked, "What changes have occurred?"
Doctor Xu said, "We didn't expect the cancer cells to occur, so it's a bit troublesome now. If the best time is to have surgery now, we can just remove that small part of the liver, and then use drugs to control it. Even if we can't completely cure the cancer, we can guarantee that the cancer cells won't spread within ten years. The problem is that your father's body looks good, but his internal functions are really worrying!"
The gunner asked directly: "I believe in Doctor Xu, just tell me how confident you are, don't worry about the economic issues, use the best medical facilities, if you don't have them I will buy them immediately..." Doctor Xu laughed and said: "Don't worry, we are on par with several famous hospitals in the country, and we treat patients the same way everywhere. If we do it now, I am 70% confident, and if we wait for your father to recover, I am also 70% confident, but..."
The spearman smiled and said, "70%! That's enough. Although I don't understand medicine, I also know the harmfulness of cancer. Treating it as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading is the best way, isn't it?"
Doctor Xu nodded and said, "Although there are certain risks, it is still worth doing this. If we take safe measures, we may have to remove more of the tumor, which will have some impact on the patient's health in the future. And even if we take safe measures, if the cancer cells spread too quickly and too much medicine is used, it will not be good for the patient."
The spearman nodded and said, "My father has suffered all his life. I believe he can endure this little pain. I'll trouble Dr. Xu with this matter. If possible, please arrange the operation as soon as possible."
After going in to see that his father had not woken up yet, he took Zhang Liqiu with him and found the nurse and said, "Little sister, you must not tell my dad about this. No matter how much he asks, you just have to make it up."
At this time, Hu Tou and his men, as well as Wu Wenbing, Wen Dejiu and Wang Shen, had already arrived. After the gun captain finished explaining the hospital's opinion, they breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not too serious. If it was in the late stage of cancer, they would have to wait for death. According to the current statement, it has just been discovered. Although it is very dangerous because cancer is in the late stage when it is discovered, it is not spreading fast now. With the current medical level, it is not impossible as long as one has money.
After discussing it, everyone felt that staying in the hospital was not a solution, and it would be better to go back now to avoid adding psychological burden to the elderly.
Three days later, Chen Siqing's father's operation was quite successful. When the gun chief saw his father coming out, his breathing was stable, and he secretly admired him: rural people have good physical fitness. If he met an old man in the city, he would probably be reimbursed. Now it depends on the medicine and physical recovery. The gun chief is determined to spend money to cure the old man's illness, so any tonic that is good for the body, no matter how expensive it is, the gun chief will buy it without blinking an eye!
Chen Shitou has also come. The training during this period has been very hard. Chen Shitou's face is still bruised and his eyebrow corners are a little swollen. The coach received a generous reward from the chief of the rifle and tortured Chen Shitou even more. It's only been a month and the coach is now having a headache. The money is not easy to make. Now even two good hands can't hold Shitou down. Once they let Shitou go and fought, and he almost demolished the gym. Now even the coach is no match for Shitou. Today is a day off. When he got back just now, he heard Zhang Liqiu say that the master is in the hospital and the fourth uncle is also there.
The gun captain saw Shitou and thought that he was getting more and more handsome. Fortunately, there were no women in the Sanda class. Hu Tou's eyes lit up every time he saw Chen Shitou. This guy was born to be a soldier. When he heard that the coach couldn't beat him even if two people fought, the gun captain was very happy and said to Hu Tou, "Ah Hu, you take care of him. Shitou will live with you from tomorrow. Your secretary hasn't moved in yet, right? Forget it, I'll find a new house for Shitou and use it for your training."
The gun chief often talks like this these days. He originally planned to do something, but he would immediately overturn it casually, just like a person talking to himself. Hu Tou really wants to have a heart-to-heart with him. It is a bit difficult for one person to handle so many things. Fortunately, there are people to help deal with all the work in the company. If the company's affairs are entangled with the gun chief again, he will probably collapse soon. Zhang Liqiu's heart has been burning during this period. People at home have been urging her to ask the gun chief out to meet and talk about marriage.
Dalin came and the gun captain met him. He really wanted to know whether Dalin came to Y Province because of him, Chen Siqing, instead of avoiding the shadow of Long Chengjiang. However, in order to maintain the image he had worked so hard to establish, the gun captain did not say much to Dalin and acted in a businesslike manner.
Wang Dafang now smiles happily all day long, and touches her gradually bulging belly from time to time. Sometimes she misses the Gun Captain very much, but that thought is often hidden with a long sigh. Zhang Liqiu did not let her go to work again. The Gun Captain has secretly given Li Decai a sum of money, asking him to persuade Wang Dafang to recuperate at home no matter what. Li Decai did not refuse this, after all, that is the Gun Captain's blood. But now Li Decai does not think so, this is my child!
That night, the gun captain met with Lin Changfu and five others at his home. He did not expect Lin Changfu to be so quick. The other four were all vice-ministerial level. The five could be regarded as representatives of this group of brothers. They were Miao Shaoqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the J Province Provincial Party Committee and deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Tie Yun, secretary general of the S City Municipal Party Committee; Li Chongyuan, secretary of the G City Municipal Party Committee in G Province; and the last one was Pan Jingong, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of S Province.
Zhang Liqiu was coaxed back to her parents' home by the gun chief. Only Chen Shitou was at home. All the other chefs and nannies had left work early. The five tiger heads were transferred by the gun chief to serve as security guards. The five of them officially started the talks in the gun chief's spacious study. Miao Shaoqiang was similar to Lin Changfu, with a slender figure, only a little bag under his eyes, and a high and round forehead. Tieyun was a mature middle-aged handsome man with neat and white teeth, a very regular 3:7 hair, a bit sturdy, and probably paid a lot of attention to exercise. Li Chongyuan and Pan Jingong were both middle-aged fat types. In addition to being slightly fat, Li Chongyuan was full of smiles. Pan Jingong had a rather peculiar appearance, with thick and long earlobes, as if hanging on both sides, and a big back hair, thick lips, big eyes and slanted eyebrows, and a cut corner of the mouth, which made him look powerful without anger.
Miao Shaoqiang and Tieyun were very friendly to him. Li Chongyuan was a smiling tiger. Only Pan Jingong looked cold and unsociable. The gun leader cursed in his heart: Do you think I'm a fool? You old guys are nothing. This one plays the red face, that one plays the white face, and there are lobbyists. Who knows what conspiracy you have! Anyway, I'm holding your weak spot, so I'm not afraid of you playing tricks on me.
Lin Changfu and the rifle commander were acquaintances, so he was not polite: "We haven't gathered together like this for four or five years. Today, thanks to Brother Siqing, we are all family. I think we should just follow our agreement and discuss any problems we have. How about that?"
The spearman nodded and smiled at them, "Brother Miao, Brother Tie, Brother Li, and Brother Pan... This is our first meeting, so I won't play tricks on you. I've already told Brother Lin what I said before, so I don't know what you think...?"
Pan Jingong snorted and put on an official air, which was quite domineering: "We all know what you mean. Who here has worked for less than 20 years? Even if we are willing to help you, you can't get ahead without ten years!"
The gun chief looked at Pan Jingong. He really hated this guy. He acted like he was invulnerable. OK! I'll expose your thoughts first. "Next March, S Province will adjust its team. According to internal information, the two leading figures of S Province will be transferred from the deputy governor of H Province and the organization minister of T Province. As for the existing team, two people will be relegated to the second line in their own province, and only one person will be transferred to Z Province as the governor. It seems that Brother Pan has nothing to do with it. At most, he will be moved in parallel and replaced by the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Am I right?"
Pan Jingong rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said impatiently: "I'm originally engaged in political and legal work, what else can I do if not this?"
The gunner continued leisurely, "If the deputy governor encounters any accident in the near future, such as illness, stroke, or traffic accident, it is very likely that he will be replaced by someone else. And this someone else... it seems very questionable."
Lin Changfu laughed loudly, turned to Tieyun and said with a smile: "How is it? I told you to stop giving bad advice, now you are embarrassed, right?"
Tieyun patted Pan Jingong on the shoulder and said, "Jingong, stop pretending. Do you really think that you have been Justice Bao for so many years and that you are truly impartial and selfless?"
Pan Jingong let out a long breath and scolded with a smile, "It was your bad idea, Tie Gou'er. Don't be offended, brother. They asked me to test whether you are promising. Haha, we grew up together. Don't take it seriously. Only in front of you do we show our true nature. We have been with Brother Bang for so many years and know his temper. The brothers have basically voted unanimously in favor of your matter. It's August now. It's not easy for us to come out. The whole country is fighting SARS. We have to rush back tomorrow morning. Now we want to know your plan!"
The chief of the rifle brought tea and motioned for them to feel free, then he said slowly: "In the change of term in March next year, besides you few, there are also a few brothers at the department level, and I can't take care of others for the time being. My plan is very simple, that is, one-size-fits-all, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. I have some information in my hands now. Well, to be on the safe side, I don't want you to interfere, it's best if you don't know at all. I can guarantee one thing: I will never let anything involve you!" Where did he get the plan or information? He was just pretending to be mysterious and showing off his skills. As for Pan Jingong's matter, he happened to hear Wang Shen talking about it. Wang Shen did have a group of friends in the officialdom of this province, it was a pity. However, with someone like Wang Shen in charge of Tianyuan, the chief of the rifle had less worries. Some people love money, some people love money, Wang Shen and Lin Changfu and others are two categories.
The gun captain thought that people nowadays were damn interesting. He liked his current life more and more. The officialdom was like a brothel. No matter how untainted one was, there were still a few so-called confidants. Hehe, human relationships in China have been deeply rooted since ancient times. The big network of relationships spread across the whole country, and the small network also controlled the local areas. However, the changes in relationships were the most amazing. Only if you become the master of this big network forever and can patch it up at any time, tear out the remnants of harm and fill the loopholes at any time.
Lin Changfu nodded: "I basically agree with the opinions of the Four Qing brothers, but it would be unreasonable for us to completely ignore them. If the Four Qing brothers are worried, there is no need to help us. If they are worried, we are all in the same boat. If there are any mistakes, we can help each other, right?"
Damn it! I won't let you get involved, I'll let you wash your ass as clean as a little girl, but you still don't trust me? The gun leader smiled bitterly and said, "I know that you are all raised by Brother Bang, and you have seen all kinds of scenes, but there are some things that you really don't need to know too much. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't want to increase your psychological burden and have any negative impact on the road ahead. Let me put it this way, if I use some shady means, you know and you don't know that is a different mentality, everyone, don't you agree?"
Before Lin Changfu could say anything more, Tieyun shook his head and interrupted, "Since Brother Siqing thinks so, we will accept your favor, but Brother Siqing cannot ignore the affairs of other brothers."
The gun leader's heart moved. Why did they have to find out my intentions? Could there be some hidden secret? Seeing Tieyun change the subject, he was very suspicious. He was a person who never trusted anyone, and now he was even more uneasy.
Pan Jingong said: "It's not a big deal. It's mainly a matter of money. Some of you are still junior directors. Although you have our care, you still need money if you encounter some unpleasant things. I'm going to trouble you, Brother Siqing."
The gun master laughed and said, "I really don't know about this. Let's put it this way, Brother Lin, please pass my contact information to everyone as soon as possible. If there are any difficulties, I will do my best to handle it!"
After seeing off the five people, the spear captain returned to the study and called Hu Tou and Bai Shusheng in.
Seeing the serious face of the gun captain, Hu Tou felt that something was wrong. How could the gun captain recognize these people? Even if he was stupid, he could see that these people were not ordinary people. No wonder the fourth brother had so much money. The gun captain frowned and thought hard for a long time before asking Hu Tou: "How many people can your comrades contact? I mean those who are relatively reliable and in relatively difficult situations!"
Hu Tou and Bai Shusheng looked at each other, then said carefully: "We have been retired for four years. In the past few years, some brothers have come out. We can find more than 20 people who meet the requirements. This is all we have."
The gunner nodded and said, "You guys contact each other immediately, in groups of three! It would be best if we could find 24 people, divided into eight groups. I need someone to help me gather intelligence now. Fourth brother, I might be in trouble!"
Tiger Head stared and asked, "Did those people force you just now?"
The gun commander smiled bitterly and said, "These things are very complicated. I am unsure about them now! Hehe, but it is getting more and more fun, really getting more and more fun! You will go out separately tomorrow, and gather everyone together in a week. Pay attention to discipline! Use the army's management methods, and confidentiality is the most important. Well, you are too naive in the officialdom. This is not comparable to the battlefield. The battlefield requires fighting and blood and flesh, but here there is no blood and flesh and smoke, Xiaobai... spend more time thinking, don't be afraid to spend money, and don't trust anyone. This is especially important. I will give you the targets that need to be investigated tomorrow. Start with the details and be careful! Go, I will talk to Shi Tou."
The current Gun Chang has the temperament of a godfather, but he began to recall Dalin's twisting in his heart. Seeing Shi Tou, his mood began to improve: "Come on, fight with Fourth Uncle for a few moves, let me see how good you are!"
