Chapter 924: Deputy Mayor (please ask for monthly votes)
"vice-mayor?"
He Ao looked at the blond woman in front of him.
The deputy mayor of Yilan City is Lin En's running mate. There are many and scattered political parties in Yilan City. In order to win the election, Lin En not only united the radical parties, but also united some centrist parties.
It was precisely with the support of these centrists that Lin En could finally win the election and become the mayor of Yilan City.
Vice Mayor Lant is a representative of these centrists. His personal political views are centrist and conservative, and he does not agree with Lynn's large-scale radical reforms.
Although there are obvious differences in political opinions, Lynn still chose him as his running mate. The purpose of this choice is also very simple, to reassure those centrist parties.
When problems arose in Lynn's reforms and he faced the impact of financial groups, the deputy mayor of Lent also vaguely became the "flag" of the conservatives and centrists in the ruling coalition.
As the deputy mayor at the moment, he is also the first successor to the mayor. Once Lin En has an accident, according to the constitution of Yilan City, the deputy mayor will directly succeed Lin En and become the mayor of Yilan City.
long, completing Lynn's unfinished term.
"Yes,"
The blond woman looked at He Ao and nodded slightly, "As soon as the news of your assassination spread, he called and asked about your situation."
"good,"
He Ao nodded slightly. He picked up the brass cane and walked to the elevator on the side. "Transfer Vice Mayor Lant's call directly to my bracelet."
"yes,"
The blond woman nodded slightly. She looked at He Ao's back and said quickly, "In addition to Deputy Mayor Lant, there are also other cabinet officials and General Scott who called..."
"Tell them that I am fine, just a little injured. I will give a live speech on recent events at the Mayor's Palace tomorrow daytime,"
He Ao walked into the elevator and waved his hand gently, "The mayor's office will not make any reply to this matter until the speech starts tomorrow morning."
"OK,"
The blond woman nodded. She watched the elevator door close, covering He Ao's figure bit by bit. Then she turned back and looked at the people behind her with a serious look on her face. "Our task may be heavier tonight. Let's start."
Bar."
"good."
Everyone nodded.
······
At this time, He Ao had already arrived at the fifth floor of the Mayor's Mansion.
The howling wind and rain beat against the glazed windows painted with exquisite paintings. He Ao glanced at the raindrops stained on the glazed windows, walked out of the elevator, turned into the long and narrow corridor aside, raised his hand, and answered the phone,
"Mayor Lynn?"
Following a soft beep, a slightly anxious middle-aged man's voice quickly rang on the other side of the phone.
"it's me."
He Ao responded slowly while walking steadily along the corridor.
I seemed to hear his steady and powerful footsteps, and the tone on the other end of the phone became slightly calmer, "You were assassinated? Who did it? Are you okay now?"
"Slightly injured,"
He Ao replied calmly, "We don't know who did it yet. The other party brought a small electromagnetic gun into the city and launched high-energy guided missiles. The FBI and the city police department are investigating."
After hearing He Ao's words, the other person on the phone was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he spoke slowly, with a slightly heavier tone, "Although I don't agree with your reforms, this matter was not done by me.
I wouldn't do such a thing."
As the deputy mayor of Yilan City, he is the possible biggest beneficiary of Lynn's assassination, and it is inevitable that he will not be tainted with suspicion.
After saying this, he seemed to realize that this sentence was not convincing enough. Finally, he sighed softly and said slowly, "If you don't believe it, I can't convince you, but this matter is true.
I did not do that."
"I trust you."
Scattered raindrops slapped on the exquisite old glazed windows on the side of the corridor. The old man's calm voice echoed in the long and narrow corridor, and also echoed around the silent stereo microphone.
There seemed to be a dim silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, the other person said, "Why?"
"I always believe that as partners, there should be some basic trust between us, right? It's like the purpose of you and me is to pull this city out of the quagmire, and this is what we stood together for in the first place.
reason,"
He Ao held his brass cane and slowly walked further along the corridor, "Just as you naturally know that what I just said 'believe in you' truly comes from my heart, rather than a random promise from a seasoned politician.
"
The light illuminated his figure, dragging a long shadow on the ground, passing by glazed windows one after another and mahogany doors one after another.
"Lynn,"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and he said slowly, "I feel like you are a little different from before."
"What's the difference?"
He Ao asked calmly.
"You seem to have more energy and confidence than before. You look a bit like you did when you first invited me to join your campaign team,"
Lant's tone paused for a moment, and then he said slowly, "To be precise, he is even more 'elegant' than back then."
"It sounds like I'm getting younger."
He Ao smiled and stopped in front of the mahogany door at the end of the corridor. He raised his brass cane and knocked lightly on the door. "I just suddenly figured out something tonight. Speaking of which,"
He paused slightly, "I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
The person on the phone looked a little confused.
He Ao stared at the wooden door in front of him and said calmly, "Don't tell others, I answered your call today."
The closed wooden door slowly opened, revealing the bright light inside.
Lant on the other side of the phone was obviously silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Okay."
He Ao reached out his hand and hung up the phone.
Sometimes, the same enemy can cause two people with different positions to stand in the same circle.
The heavy mahogany door was opened little by little, and a man in a white robe with a gentle face appeared in He Ao's field of vision. He opened the mahogany door completely, revealing a clean and tidy medical room at the back. Some members of the mayor's guard and
Some medical students are placing some equipment in the medical room.
He looked at the medical room at the back, then at He Ao, and said slowly, "Mr. Lin En, some equipment has just been moved here and may be a bit messy."
"It's okay, please, Dr. Des."
He Ao glanced at the white robe of the man in front of him and the World Tree emblem vaguely embroidered on his white robe, and took a step forward into the medical room.
Dr. Des is Lynn's personal doctor. He graduated from Chenxi Medical University with a doctorate. He was once the director of the clinical department of Chenxi Medical University and one of the honorary professors of Pate-Qiming Medical College.
When Lin En visited Chenxi City, he met the professor and promised that the professor would fund the construction of Pet-Qiming Hospital in Yilan City.
So this doctor came to Yilan City to be responsible for building a hospital, and by the way became Linn's personal doctor.
But strictly speaking, this all happened a few months ago.
As soon as Lin En attacked, the mayor's guard invited the doctor to the mayor's palace and moved a series of medical equipment here according to his request.
The room in front of me was originally a small reception room of the Mayor's Mansion, but was temporarily transformed into a medical room.
At this moment, the surrounding members of the mayor's guard and medical students have basically completed installing all the equipment. The members of the mayor's guard saluted He Ao and said goodbye.
And He Ao also walked to the operating table in the middle of the medical room and put the cane aside.
A medical student immediately came over, took the cane, and placed it on a shelf on the other side.
"How do you feel about your situation now?"
Des looked at He Ao. He glanced at He Ao's neat formal clothes, and his eyes fell on the blood-stained white shirt on the inside of He Ao's clothes. "Have you changed your clothes? The original injury was serious?"
He raised his hand, and most of the medical students left the medical room, leaving only two experienced assistants, a man and a woman, staying by his side.
"There was some simple trauma,"
He Ao smiled and sat on the operating table. "It may be a little more troublesome to deal with, but the wound is a bit hideous."
"It's okay, take off your clothes. I have seen many situations. I am very professional and will not be frightened by the patient's wounds."
Seeing He Ao's calm movements, Des nodded slightly. He reached out and opened the sterilization equipment next to the operating room, then picked up the sterile clothing next to him and quickly put it on while saying, "And even if it's...
You should also treat simple injuries as soon as possible..."
He turned around and looked at He Ao's body, then his eyes and words stopped at the same time.
At this moment, He Ao was putting aside the shirt that was partially stained with bright red, and then stretched out his hand to untie the gauze bandages that had been completely penetrated by blood and turned into bright red.
Looking at the red blood, the bloody wounds under the straps, and the two experienced assistants who stood behind Des who had remained stable and were sorting the tools, their eyes widened invisibly, and even
Subconsciously, I wanted to turn around and not look at the horrific scene in front of me.
"How did you come back alive..."
Des stared at all this with his mouth open. He carefully looked at the wounds on He Ao's body that were so deep that he could see the bones. "You suffered such serious injuries. An ordinary C-level person would probably have died long ago."
"Maybe you have better luck."
He Ao coughed lightly and lay down on the operating table with a smile.
"I believe you even if you say you were favored by the gods,"
Des took a deep breath, held the scalpel, and looked at He Ao's wounds carefully, "There are traces of injury in key parts, but it seems to be recovering well,"
He stretched out his hand, and the assistant behind him skillfully handed a suture tool into his hand. He picked up the suture tool and sighed, "It's really a miracle that you came back alive. If I met you on the battlefield,
I may not be able to save you, but you actually came back after a big battle."
He stretched out his hand to another assistant on the side, "These wounds and nerve endings of yours, the perception of extraordinary people is sharper than that of ordinary people. The pain you are suffering now is probably more uncomfortable than the heart of thousands of ants. You really
Don’t you feel any pain at all?”
"It will hurt,"
He Ao smiled, "But I can still bear it."
After hearing this, the female assistant who was quickly handing a box of medicinal powder to Des made a move with her hands.
She quickly glanced at the wounds on He Ao's body, and then shuddered subconsciously, as if she was thinking about what it would feel like to have these wounds on her body, and then she immediately shook her head tremblingly.
Des didn't pay attention to the assistant's actions. He poured the powder that exuded a faint white light into the needle device in his hand, and looked at He Ao, "I'll perform a simple suture on your wound first. The powder contains energy."
It’s an anesthetizing ingredient for extraordinary people, but if you’re injured so badly, you might still feel a little pain.”
"fine."
He Ao shook his head.
Des looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed, looking at the horrific wounds on his body, and his breath became slightly solemn.
The two assistants behind him had already held their breath.
The shadowless lamp above the operating table shines brightly, dispelling all surrounding darkness.
The patter of rain is still flowing outside the window, beating everyone's heart under the silent night.
——
"Unscathed?"
In the bright hall of the villa, a well-dressed man with a calm face placed the photo in his hand on the glass table in front of him, his tone slightly condensed.
"Yes, from our observation, his actions were not affected in any way,"
On the table, a holographic projection of a fat man wearing suspender jeans nodded slightly, "It looks like he is almost uninjured. Even if he is injured, I'm afraid it's not serious."
"You mean, a whole army of elite mercenaries with electromagnetic guns, a Seraph mecha, a C-level mole, and a large number of guided missiles,"
The elegant man raised his head and looked at the man in overalls in front of him. His calm and gentle tone was a little hoarse, "You didn't even kill our mayor who is nearly sixty years old? You didn't even cause him any serious injuries?"
"Yes."
The man in overalls in the holographic projection lowered his head, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. After a brief pause, he glanced at the elegant man and said tremblingly, "It's possible that he was seriously injured.
, just pretending that you are not injured?"
"You were injured to death, but you were still able to walk out of the flying fighter plane as if nothing was wrong, and you were still able to hold an umbrella and walk step by step towards the mayor's palace gate in full view of everyone?"
The elegant man glanced at the man in overalls and asked with a smile.
The man in overalls shrank his head and lowered his head. He seemed to be carefully recalling all the details and thinking about the evidence to prove his remarks. Finally, he whispered, "Our people saw that the private doctor from Chenxi moved
A large amount of medical equipment has entered the mayor's palace, maybe it is to treat the seriously injured mayor?"
After hearing what he said, the elegant man paused for a moment, as if thinking about the authenticity of the matter, and whispered, "What did the mayor's office say?"
"There is no internal news coming out at the moment,"
The man in overalls whispered, "Everyone who called the mayor's office was told the same thing. They were told that the mayor would give a speech tomorrow and would not make any reply to what happened tonight.
Even though I called the mayor, he didn’t accept any visit.”
"The deputy mayor can't get through the mayor's phone either?"
The elegant man raised his head, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, that's the message we received,"
The man in overalls nodded slightly, "After this incident, the mayor's office may not trust Deputy Mayor Lant anymore..."
