Gui Mengjun glanced at the text message, turned to his second uncle and said, "You have your meal first. I have something urgent to do. I went out to make a phone call."
"Okay, go ahead." The second uncle replied.
Gui Mengjun picked up the phone, turned around and left the box, found an unoccupied room in the corridor, opened the door and walked in.
Standing indoors, Gui Mengjun felt a little drunk and his heart was beating loudly. He frowned and dialed back the number that sent the text message.
"Hello? Brother!"
"Is the news accurate?" Gui Mengjun asked in local dialect.
"Exactly, I asked just now. The old governor's heart began to feel uncomfortable around five o'clock. He didn't have a meal at night. He was admitted to the intensive care unit around six o'clock. His condition worsened and he is now being rescued." The other party also responded in his hometown dialect.
He said: "Everyone from the General Headquarters and the Governor's Mansion has passed."
Guimengjun was silent for a long time: "I mean, is the old governor a routine rescue, or...!"
"This time is very pessimistic." The other party replied in a very low voice: "I heard... the Governor's Mansion is already preparing to hold a funeral!"
When Gui Mengjun heard this, his head buzzed. His first reaction was not to think about any political changes, but to feel indescribable sadness in his heart.
After a brief silence, Gui Mengjun replied in a low voice: "Call me anytime if you have news!"
"good!"
After the two ended the call, Gui Mengjun felt a little dizzy. He unconsciously held the wall with his left hand and felt a tightness in his chest.
"Bang!"
The box door opened, and Su Miaomiao walked in. She looked at the pale-faced Gui Mengjun in surprise, and asked softly: "You... what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gui Mengjun glanced at her and said with a little red eyes: "... I just received the news that... our leader is critically ill."
"...!" Su Miaomiao was startled: "The leader you are talking about...!"
"Yes, that's him." Gui Mengjun sighed: "I'm fine... I'll take a rest."
Su Miaomiao held his arm: "Sit down for a moment."
…
Hung Son Sanatorium, the capital of Hanoi.
All the security forces of a regiment were on duty at this moment. A soldier with a tall and heroic appearance and a loaded gun stood at his position and was checking the vehicles lined up to be admitted to the hospital.
On the road, the street lights are bright, and small cars that are rarely seen in urban areas and exempt from inspection are all waiting in line on the roadside just like public vehicles. Even the mayor of Hanoi's car is here.
All we could do was keep giving way, pull over and wait.
On the third floor of the main building of the sanatorium, in a long and narrow corridor, there was an old man in his sixties sitting alone. His hair was gray, but his back was straight. It looked like he had developed a habit of serving in the army for many years.
The old man was wearing a gray tunic suit, with his white hair combed back, and his slightly aged cheeks were covered with dust all around, but if you look closely, you can see that he was a very energetic and handsome boy when he was young.
His name is Pu Xingbang, he is the chief administrative officer of the old triangle area and the deputy commander-in-chief of the general headquarters.
As time passed, the stairwells and lounges outside the corridor were already filled with people. The youngest of them was over fifty years old. The youngest cadre in the military also had the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders.
…
In the sea view villa area.
After Gui Mengjun rested for a while, he returned to the box with his third sister.
After entering the door, Gui Mengjun walked to his second uncle with a smile, lay down and whispered a few words in his ear.
The second uncle was startled, then immediately waved his hand and said: "...Is he critically ill?"
"Yes." Gui Mengjun replied in a low voice: "Don't make any noise, I have to leave first and let Meng Zheng accompany you to dine, because our relationship with the higher-ups is also...!"
"Understood, understood!" The second uncle nodded very openly: "You can eat whenever you want, just go and get busy."
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow." Gui Mengjun immediately replied: "You guys should go to bed early!"
"Don't worry about us, just go ahead!" Second uncle urged and replied, "I'm busy tomorrow, so there's no need to come over. Business is important."
"Okay, uncle, I'll go first!" Gui Mengjun stood up, picked up his wine glass, walked around between the two tables, greeted everyone, and hurried away with his followers.
During this period, Su Tianyu and others did not know what happened. They only thought that Gui Mengjun's company had encountered something urgent.
About half an hour later, the banquet ended and Gui Mengzheng personally sent everyone back to the villa before leaving in a hurry.
In the living room, Su Tianyu felt that something was wrong, so he found the third sister alone: "It was a good meal, but why did it end at the end? What was he doing?"
Su Miaomiao blinked her eyes, leaned into her brother's ear and said, "The governor here is critically ill. You also know the relationship between the Gui family and the upper class. He needs to go back."
Su Tianyu was filled with astonishment when he heard this: "Is this enough?"
"Well, it's enough this time." Su Miaomiao replied softly: "After all, she is over ninety years old... I have always been holding my breath."
When Su Tianyu heard this, he also felt strange emotions in his heart: "A great man of this generation, alas, he will not be able to survive the passage of time."
"Why do you seem so sad?" Su Miaomiao didn't feel anything at all.
"The first lesson I took in Army College was the Northwest Battle of China." Su Tianyu sighed and said: "He is the one who can appear four times in the special battle cases of the first district!! Those officials in the first district
You still don’t know! You are very arrogant. A military officer from a backward and remote nation can appear in the study courses of other regions. This is a military honor."
"...I don't quite understand, but I can also see that Meng Jun's mood has changed."
"Of course you don't understand, you are not from here." Su Tianyu replied with his hands behind his back: "It seems that we will stay here for a while."
…
Hanoi Port.
Da Xiong, Lao Hei, Hou Guoyu and others, who were unable to take the plane due to identity issues, also quietly arrived at Lao Sanjiao after taking a detour. They were picked up by people from the Gui family and sent directly to the villa area.
Around 9:40 pm.
On the third floor of the nursing home, Pu Xingbang lowered his head and was smoking a cigarette.
"Ding~!"
The lights in the emergency room went out, and a colonel-level military doctor opened the door and walked out, wiping the sweat from his forehead and saying in a nervous tone: "...Commander! I...we tried our best!"
Quiet, after a short period of silence, Pu Xingbang calmly put out his cigarette butts, stood up and straightened his clothes.
"The Governor only sees you!" The colonel stepped aside.
Pu Xingbang clenched his fists and quickly walked into the emergency room.
…
The time in Zone 1 at this moment is still morning.
Su Tiannan had breakfast in the prison area and walked towards a middle-aged man: "Today?"
"Yes, the district director will come to recommend you and will ask you to participate in the activity." The middle-aged man replied in a low voice: "I will give you my contact information. Remember it, don't write it down."
