Chapter 100: Love Injury
As the "old man" who followed Le Xuezhi the earliest, 32-year-old Ji Luhui could not refuse the boss's order, nor could he resist the temptation of 5 million. Moreover, he knew that with the power of the Le family, he might really not have to go to jail.
5 million, money that can't be earned in a lifetime! He was a desperate person to begin with, and doing this didn't have any psychological burden.
After returning to Ningyang from Beijing, Ji Luhui first returned to his hometown, looked at his son and daughter, left 500,000 to his wife, saying that it was all the money he had earned over the years, and instructed his wife to take good care of the children.
A prodigal son's return is worth more than gold. Ji Luhui's wife was overjoyed, feeling that life had hope.
Arriving in Ningyang, Ji Luhui spent 30,000 yuan to buy a fifth-hand Santana. The condition of the car was okay, and the most important thing was that the A-pillar of this car was "hard" enough.
After everything was ready, Ji Luhui targeted Lu Fan, watching him 24 hours a day, especially at night, planning to take action on the road where Lu Fan was socializing.
But for several days in a row, he didn't find any opportunity at all, because Lu Fan was in the publicity period of inspection, going back and forth between the unit and home, without any socialization. When crossing the road, there were many cars, and it was inconvenient to take action.
But Ji Luhui was not discouraged. Lu Fan went to work, he guarded at the gate of the county government; Lu Fan went home, he stared downstairs, looking for an opportunity.
On November 30, the Ningyang County Party Committee held a Standing Committee meeting, and the last topic was cadre adjustment.
When the Organization Department Head read that Baishu Bay Township Party Committee Secretary Shi Qiancheng was transferred to the County Agriculture Bureau, Lu Fan's destination was ready to come out.
Sure enough, Minister Hao Qiang continued to read: Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office, Comrade Lu Fan, is proposed to be the Baishu Bay Township Party Committee Secretary!
The Standing Committee members were thoughtful, feeling that this position was not much or little, not high or low, just right. Baishu Bay has a small population, a weak industrial foundation, and is a poor and remote place. If you do well, it is easy to achieve results, and if you do poorly, it doesn't matter. No one will pay attention, and it is a good place to muddle through qualifications.
County Head Hu Chengwei spoke first: "I am familiar with Comrade Lu Fan. He has vitality, spirit, and passion for work, and meets the standards of a good cadre who is loyal, clean, and responsible in the new era. The development of the Party's cause must grasp the fundamental plan of having successors. For excellent young cadres with potential and future development, we must put them in the grassroots frontline and difficult townships for training, and promote their growth as soon as possible through the tempering of hard positions and difficult tasks. At the same time, we must resolutely break the concepts of seniority, balance, and perfectionism, and boldly use excellent young cadres. District Head Hongtao is a good precedent! I agree with Lu Fan's appointment!"
County Party Committee Deputy Secretary Bian Jide said: "Promoting the virtuous without avoiding relatives, I have worked with Comrade Lu Fan. The biggest influence this comrade has on me is his hard study, flexible mind, and down-to-earth work. He can face difficulties in his work and has a spirit of not admitting defeat. The grassroots frontline is the best melting pot for young people to temper their will and increase their skills. Only by reading 'wordless books', entering 'hundreds of families', and walking 'ten thousand miles' can one learn living knowledge and practice real skills. The mud stained on the feet will also turn into true feelings in the heart. I agree to put Comrade Lu Fan in Baishu Bay for training."
The Secretary's secretary, the County Head "lifted the sedan chair", and the Deputy Secretary strongly supported it. What else is there to say? Of course, it was passed unanimously.
After the meeting, the Organization Department immediately set about issuing documents. Lu Fan could finally go to the township to realize his life ambitions and let his dreams bloom in the vastest world!
Lu Fan took several documents to Gao Yuanfei's office and said: "Secretary, I want to ask for leave."
Gao Yuanfei raised his head and said: "Be quiet these two days, so as not to cause extra complications. What are you going to do?"
Lu Fan laughed: "Secretary, just for a while, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get a marriage certificate with my partner."
Gao Yuanfei laughed: "Are you getting married? This is a good thing. Then go quickly, I'm waiting to eat wedding candies!"
Carrying his ID card and household registration book downstairs, Lu Fan called Chen Liqiong and made an appointment to meet at the government gate.
Seeing Lu Fan appear at the county government gate with a smile, as if waiting for someone, Ji Luhui, who was squatting, felt that the opportunity had come, opened the white wine and poured half a bottle in one breath, waiting for the opportunity.
People came and went at the government gate, and he had to greet acquaintances coming in and out from time to time. Lu Fan specifically walked to the left side of the gate, which was exactly the direction of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The opportunity has come! Ji Luhui lit the fire with trembling hands, hardened his heart, poured another mouthful of wine, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and rushed towards Lu Fan in front.
Chen Liqiong walked out of the gate with happy steps, saw Lu Fan and shouted "Brother Fan" happily!
Lu Fan turned around and asked with a smile: "Liqiong, did you bring your household registration book and ID card?"
Chen Liqiong was just about to answer, but suddenly showed horror, shouted loudly: "Brother Fan, hide quickly!" Then she rushed forward with the fastest speed and pulled Lu Fan with all her strength.
This pull made Lu Fan brush shoulders with the God of Death, but Chen Liqiong didn't hide, was directly hit by the Santana, fell at the government gate, fell into a pool of blood, and the Santana hit the stone lion at the gate, unrecognizable.
People came and went at the government gate, and they were all stunned by the scene in front of them. Many people knew Lu Fan and hurriedly helped call the police.
Lu Fan rushed over like crazy, picked up Chen Liqiong and ran to the hospital, tears streaming down his face, muttering "Liqiong, hold on, you can't have anything to do!"
The county hospital is only a few hundred meters away from the county government. After Lu Fan rushed into the emergency room, the doctor immediately started rescue.
Not long after, County Party Committee Secretary Gao Yuanfei and Deputy Secretary Bian Jide rushed to the hospital after hearing the news. Seeing Lu Fan who was on the verge of collapse, they didn't know how to comfort him, patted Lu Fan on the shoulder and said that the hospital would definitely do its best, and the lucky person would have his own heaven.
The dean arrived soon. After understanding the situation, he reported to Gao Yuanfei that if it could be stabilized, it was recommended to transfer to another hospital quickly.
Half an hour later, the doctor came out. Lu Fan rushed up and asked anxiously: "Doctor, doctor, how is my wife? You must save her, I beg you!"
The doctor shook his head and said: "The head and lung injuries are too heavy, bleeding too much, respiratory failure, unable to return to heaven!"
Hearing this bad news, Lu Fan couldn't accept it at all, roared: "Transfer to another hospital, transfer to another hospital quickly, go to Yingjiang, go to Chang'an!"
The doctor advised: "The patient has lost signs of life, the injuries are too heavy, going anywhere is futile, please mourn!"
"I don't care, transfer me to another hospital quickly, must save her!"
Gao Yuanfei saw this and said to the dean: "Arrange the transfer immediately, no matter what, try it!"
At the leader's order, the whole emergency department acted quickly. In less than five minutes, the ambulance roared away. Gao Yuanfei and Bian Jide personally accompanied Lu Fan to follow the ambulance and urgently contacted the dean of the municipal hospital, requesting the dean to make preparations in advance.
Arriving at the municipal hospital, the rescue work was seamlessly connected. Lu Fan guarded the door and waited anxiously, without a soul.
In less than ten minutes, the doctor came out and said: "No way, please mourn!"
Lu Fan was like being struck by lightning, his head was blank, suddenly ran into the rescue room, picked up his beloved and cried bitterly: "Liqiong, wake up! I beg you, wake up, we haven't held the wedding yet, you can't leave me alone! God, save her, don't leave me, Liqiong, wake up quickly..."
Those who heard were sad, and those who heard shed tears.
Gao Yuanfei was also very sad, went in and said to Lu Fan: "Life must go on, no matter what hurdles you encounter, you must be strong, let the deceased rest in peace now!" Then he pulled Lu Fan out hard.
Not long after, Chen Liqiong's parents and relatives came. Seeing Lu Fan squatting on the ground, covering his face with both hands, crying bitterly, an ominous premonition struck.
Chen Dad asked tremblingly: "Xiao Fan, Liqiong?"
Lu Fan knelt on the ground with a "thump" and choked: "Liqiong, she is gone!"
Hearing the bad news, Chen Dad was heartbroken and tears streamed down his face: "My poor daughter!"
Chen Mom couldn't withstand such a blow and fainted on the spot. The scene was in a mess, crying sounded to the sky, filled with thick sadness.
Gao Yuanfei and Bian Jide were relatively calm, knowing what to do now, and helped handle the aftermath.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the body was pulled back to the family building of the Ningyang Grain Bureau. Baishu Bay Forest Farm Director Li Yifei pulled a good coffin and brought all the staff to help. The heads of the township government also came, and the courtyard was full of people.
No matter how sad, life must go on. The deceased is the greatest, and the burial is the peace. Since they are engaged, she is a person of the Lu family when she is alive, and a daughter-in-law of the Lu family when she is dead. It is Lu Fan's duty to handle the funeral.
Lu Yao rushed back from Beijing overnight. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she hugged her brother and cried. She liked this future sister-in-law very much and had long regarded her as a family.
In the middle of the night, people dispersed. Lu Fan guarded the coffin and didn't want to leave for a moment. Recalling the bits and pieces of the two, his tears had already been cried dry.
Life is impermanent. I never expected that in just a few hours, great joy would turn into great sorrow, and that "Brother Fan" would become the farewell of the two.
Looking at the lover lying "inside", Lu Fan was heartbroken and muttered to himself: "Liqiong, why are you so stupid, the person who should die is me! We agreed to buy groceries together, cook together, take walks together, chase dramas together, travel together, and do the things we want to do together. How can you bear to leave me alone? I haven't loved enough, you left, what should I do? You can't be so cruel..."
The deceased is gone, and the burial is the peace.
The next day, Lu Fan endured the grief and handled the funeral for his lover.
December 2, cold.
Early in the morning, snowflakes drifted in Ningyang, but people who came to mourn in the snow were still endless. The snow fell non-stop, and the mourners left one batch and came another...
Living on the Loess Plateau, generations rely on the yellow land for a living, and after death, they sleep in the yellow soil.
No matter how grand the funeral is, the person is gone, so what is the meaning? The living can only miss like this. Lu Fan didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and accompanied his beloved every night, sending her the last journey.
