Chapter 567: Chen Gang Straightens His Position

Jiang Lin, this venomous woman, wants to kill Qiao Lianzhou—this is something Lin Dongfan is fairly certain about.

But Qiao Lianzhou himself certainly does not want to die; Lin Dongfan is also quite certain of that. If Qiao Lianzhou truly had no lingering attachment to this world, he would not have hesitated when he first went up to the rooftop.

Qiao Lianzhou harbors a regret, and it is a huge one!

Lin Dongfan now even suspects that Qiao Lianzhou has already woken up, but he is pretending to be in a vegetative state in order to survive, or perhaps to see clearly the ugly faces of those around him.

Unfortunately, the hospital's medical means are limited.

Even if the best medical equipment were brought out, it would still be impossible to be absolutely certain whether Qiao Lianzhou is truly unconscious or merely feigning sleep.

After thinking it over, Lin Dongfan feels it necessary to take Wei Shouqin out for a walk.

Wei Shouqin!

Former director of the Baiyue Province Health Department.

Lao Wei's morals may not be great, but his medical skill is truly superb, versed in both Chinese and Western medicine—sitting with eyes closed, he can feel a pulse and know that Peng Tianhua was kicked off the bed by his wife.

His medical skill is top-notch!

The key is, Lao Wei is currently a person awaiting punishment, with a latent desire to earn merit to reduce his penalty; if we ask him to act, he should strive to create a miracle.

"Si Ning, you keep watch over Qiao Lianzhou here; I'm going to the detention center for a bit."

"Do you really suspect that Qiao Lianzhou is pretending to be in a vegetative state?"

After working with Lin Dongfan for so many years, Jian Sining has also broadened her horizons; a casual guess let her figure out what this unconventional senior brother intends to do.

Lin Dongfan patted her shoulder: "Keep an eye on him; I'll be back."

Not long after Lin Dongfan left the hospital, the news of Jiang Lin's arrest reached Lv Yizhi's ears; Lv Yizhi slammed the table in the office and shouted, "He's rebelling!"

He slammed down with one palm.

With a bang, the teacup on the table jumped, and Chen Gang sitting opposite was startled.

Chen Gang, gritting his teeth, tried to smooth things over with Lin Dongfan: "This time……Jiang Lin went to the hospital to transfer Qiao Lianzhou without the special case team's approval, causing a disturbance and obstructing official duties……You should also calm down; as long as Jiang Lin is not suspected of anything else, she'll likely be detained only a few days before release."

Not suspected of anything else?

That heart‑piercing remark left Lv Yizhi furious and speechless.

Lv Yizhi thought:

"If Jiang Lin isn't suspected of anything else, why should I get worked up? It seems you, Lao Chen, are no good either—pretending to be confused while you understand perfectly, just looking for a way out."

Lv Yizhi suppressed his anger and retorted:

"Although Jiang Lin is at fault, she is also worried about her husband's condition; this is only human and understandable."

"You people lock folks up at the drop of a hat—what kind of talk is that?"

Sometimes.

We should also try to see things from their perspective.

Jiang Lin, a woman who has never experienced any major disaster, her son just finished a lung transplant surgery and lies in the hospital needing care.

Her husband then suddenly committed suicide, becoming vegetative.

Under these blows, her emotions are already in a state of collapse.

When emotions collapse, doing something impulsive is inevitable; moreover, she ultimately failed to bring Qiao Lianzhou home, causing no irreparable harm.

"This matter doesn't need to be blown out of proportion."

Saying this, Lv Yizhi stared fixedly at Chen Gang's reaction, waiting for him to state his position. All this boils down to one meaning: you damn well better let him go, fast!

Chen Gang, clear‑minded as a mirror, was worried sick—his head felt like it was splitting.

Lv Yizhi must not be offended, nor Lin Dongfan—both are formidable beings you can't afford to provoke! What have I done to deserve this? Even after climbing to this high position, I still have to suffer this.

Damn it, you guys go bite each other!

Thinking this, Chen Gang said nothing, pulled out his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and dialed Lin Dongfan's number right in front of Lv Yizhi.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Dongfan's greeting came through: "Inspector Chen, what are your orders?"

Chen Gang steadied himself and replied: "I want to talk to you about Jiang Lin's situation. Her husband and son are both lying in the hospital, so it's no surprise her emotions are out of control……"

"Inspector Chen, what are you saying? I can't hear you."

"I'm talking about Jiang Lin—her actions today were indeed a bit impulsive; fortunately, they caused no irreparable harm, so there's no need to blow this out of proportion."

"What did you say? Hello? Inspector Chen, can you hear me?"

"!!!"

Chen Gang glanced at the phone's full signal bars, feeling both amused and exasperated, thinking, "You little brat, you're really sly, pretending to be crazy and stupid here."

Then Lin Dongfan's voice came through the phone again: "Hey……Inspector Chen, if you don't speak I'll hang up."

"I said Jiang Lin's case doesn't need to be blown out of proportion; release her quickly—law enforcement should have compassion." Chen Gang raised his voice a bit to show he wasn't acting.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dongfan replied: "What did you say? Don't release her? Understood, please rest assured, Leader—I will absolutely not let her go home before the case is cleared up. For now, I have other matters; I'm hanging up." He then hung up.

Chen Gang lifted his head and saw Lv Yizhi, whose face had turned livid with anger.

He forced an awkward smile: "Vice Governor Lv, what do you think of this……" He trailed off, meaning, "It's not that I'm refusing you face; you can see I've already done my best to mediate."

"!!!"

Lv Yizhi closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and silently digested this nauseating sugar‑coated cannonball, his face betraying the anger he could hardly hide.

Soon after.

The secretary came in with a document to report work: "Vice Governor Lv……"

"Get out!"

Lv Yizhi let out an angry roar that frightened the secretary so much she dared not even fart; she was inexplicably scolded, then turned and slunk away in embarrassment.

Of course……

Chen Gang, sitting opposite, also understood that this anger was directed at him.

Chen Gang adopted a helpless posture, sighing as he shifted the blame: "That Lin Dongfan fellow, when handling cases, sometimes really lacks humanity—he doesn't even give face to his superior, me."

"Chen Jian, your procuratorate is really…… every single one of you is talent!" Lv Yizhi suddenly opened his eyes, gave Chen Gang a cold smile.

This full-flavored sarcasm made Chen Gang instantly ill at ease.

Chen Gang picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, composed himself, then slowly chose his words: "Vice Governor Lv, why don't… you personally call Lin Dongfan to give it a try?"

"Forget it, I can't afford to lose this person."

Lv Yizhi thought, you old thing really think I'm blind, can't you see you're playing Tai Chi here? Never mind, since you don't want to offend anyone, good luck!

Thinking of that.

Lv Yizhi also picked up the tea in front of him, lowered his head and drank slowly: "Let's stop here for today, I still have matters to attend to."

"Then I'll go ahead; if anything comes up, we'll stay in touch by phone."

Chen Gang, understanding the dismissal, got up and left on his own.

After walking out of the provincial committee office building, Chen Gang took a deep sigh, looked up, and felt his life was like a cloud in the sky—tossed about whenever the wind blew.

He pondered for a while.

Chen Gang ultimately decided to straighten out his position, took out his phone, and sent a message to Lin Dongfan: "Someone's in a hurry—quickly send a trustworthy person to guard Jiang Lin, to prevent anyone from silencing her."
