Chapter 1010: Don't Deify Me!

After Tang Ye woke up, he felt discomfort in his neck.

When Ma Tao held him hostage yesterday, a dagger had grazed his neck; the wound wasn't deep, and he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but upon waking this morning, the injured area felt stinging and painful.

Worried that the wound might be infected, Tang Ye immediately headed to the hospital for a check-up.

Upon learning that Tang Ye had come to the hospital to register, Dean Pang immediately rushed over from the Dean's office and accompanied him through the entire examination.

After a careful examination, the Attending Physician's eyes flashed with a hint of shock: "Secretary Tang, this location is extremely dangerous! It is positioned right on the carotid artery; if it had been two millimeters deeper, it would have triggered massive hemorrhaging, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Tang Ye waved his hand dismissively: "It's not as serious as you say, is it?"

The Attending Physician emphasized with a grave expression: "It seems you haven't realized the severity of the problem! You should have come to have it treated last night."

Tang Ye knew the Attending Physician was prone to exaggeration, "Please just help me treat the wound first!"

The Attending Physician paused for a moment, then nodded in response: "Very well, I will bandage it for you myself. The bandage cannot be wrapped too tightly, otherwise it won't be breathable; the nurses might not be as experienced with this."

Tang Ye remained calm, secretly thinking to himself that this doctor had high emotional intelligence.

A moment later, a thick bandage was wrapped around his neck.

Tang Ye mused to himself, wondering if it was a bit too exaggerated.

After seeing Tang Ye off, Dean Pang asked the Attending Physician with a serious expression: "How is Secretary Tang's injury, really?"

The Attending Physician organized his words, "The injury isn't heavy, but judging from the location of the wound, the situation at the time was extremely dangerous. If the hand had been just a bit heavier, Secretary Tang's carotid artery could have been severed, triggering massive hemorrhaging, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Dean Pang gasped, and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Dean Pang immediately reported Tang Ye's injury to Shi Yao:

"Secretary Shi, I have already consulted with Secretary Tang's Attending Physician. Secretary Tang can be considered to have had a narrow escape; he injured a major artery in his neck, and he was just a hair's breadth away from losing his life. Secretary Tang is truly tough; he managed to endure such a dangerous injury for an entire night. However, please rest assured, we have already performed professional treatment, and the injury is under control."

After hearing Dean Pang's words, Shi Yao's heart immediately began to race, and she hurriedly urged: "Very well, thank you for your hard work. Continue to closely monitor Secretary Tang's condition, and be sure to avoid any risks."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yao immediately dialed Tang Ye, telling him to return to the County Party Committee Compound and come to her office.

About ten minutes later, Tang Ye knocked on the door of Shi Yao's office.

Seeing the thick gauze wrapped around his neck, Shi Yao's eyes were full of gravity: "Is your neck alright?"

Tang Ye waved his hand: "No major issues, it just looks scary."

Shi Yao sighed and said earnestly: "You were the one who advised me earlier not to avoid medical treatment, and that if I felt uncomfortable, I should take leave to rest and never try to tough it out."

A look of gratitude appeared on Tang Ye's face: "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Shi. If I truly felt uncomfortable, I would certainly say so."

Shi Yao gave a helpless, bitter smile, and turned to ask: "By the way, how is that Ma Tao doing now?"

A trace of lament flashed across Tang Ye's face, and he laughed at himself: "Although Ma Tao is big and tall, his actual mental age is only about ten, and he has a history of mental illness, so he can be exempted from legal accountability according to the law. It was fortunate yesterday that he didn't detonate the explosives, otherwise, we would have just had to accept our bad luck."

Shi Yao lamented: "This kind of person is far too dangerous to society."

Tang Ye said helplessly: "Society is far more complex than one imagines. When we dealt with the illegal mining at the stone quarry earlier, our 'one-size-fits-all' approach was still too arbitrary. During the law enforcement process, we should have strengthened persuasion and education; perhaps that could have reduced the occurrence of similar incidents."

Shi Yao nodded slightly: "You are right. Although the matter has passed, we must learn from the lesson."

Afterwards, Tang Ye returned to his own office.

Not long after he sat down, Xing Zhijun knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing the bandage on his neck, Xing Zhijun was also taken aback.

Tang Ye smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "It was just a slight scrape of the skin; that doctor intentionally made the injury seem more serious."

Xing Zhijun felt relieved, shook his head, and sighed: "The injury might not be that heavy, but the nature of the incident is too vile. The Explosives Expert has already assessed the amount of explosives from yesterday; if they had actually been detonated at the time, the Reception House would have been directly blown up, and the surrounding shops would also have been affected, causing immeasurable losses."

Tang Ye said optimistically: "You all arrived very quickly, which is why the accident didn't happen!"

Xing Zhijun said with a face full of shame: "The main responsibility lies with me. My lack of thorough consideration during the law enforcement process led to the situation deteriorating further. Additionally, regarding your heroic performance at the scene last night, I have already had someone compile it into a written report to be submitted to the Municipal Party Committee."

Tang Ye immediately understood Xing Zhijun's intention; he was trying to take the opportunity to help him claim credit. He pondered for a moment and urged: "The material must be based on facts; it absolutely must not be exaggerated. I am just an ordinary person; please don't deify me."

Xing Zhijun was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Rest assured, we will definitely report it truthfully and will not exaggerate."

……

Inside the Yanzhou Municipal Party Secretary's office, the Secretary placed a document on Liu Mingyuan's desk: "Secretary Liu, this is the material submitted by Dayu County. Last night, a vicious hostage incident occurred at the entrance of the Dayu County Reception House."

Liu Mingyuan picked up the material, put on his glasses, and read it carefully, his expression becoming increasingly grave.

After finishing it, he dialed Shi Yao's phone number.

"I have already read the material regarding the hostage incident you and Comrade Tang Ye encountered last night. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I express my concern and sympathy to you and Comrade Tang Ye."

Shi Yao hurriedly responded: "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Liu."

Liu Mingyuan followed up: "I heard Tang Ye's injury is very serious?"

Shi Yao replied: "The situation was indeed dangerous at the time; the dagger grazed the carotid artery. However, Comrade Tang Ye has a strong sense of responsibility, and after receiving treatment, he still insisted on working at his post."

Liu Mingyuan remarked with genuine emotion: "Comrade Tang Ye is truly a good comrade! This incident also serves as a reminder that when you work at the grassroots level, you must pay attention to your own safety. If you encounter any difficulties or dangers, you can report them to me at any time, and I will coordinate to resolve them. You are both young cadres with bright futures; protecting you is also my duty."

Shi Yao said with full gratitude: "Thank you for your concern and support, Secretary Liu."

After hanging up the phone with Shi Yao, Liu Mingyuan dialed Tang Ye's number.

Seeing that the caller ID was the Municipal Party Secretary, Tang Ye was somewhat flattered and hurriedly answered: "Secretary Liu, hello!"

Liu Mingyuan asked with concern: "I heard you performed a brave act yesterday and got injured?"

Tang Ye replied with a smile: "It's just a minor external injury. Thank you for your concern, Secretary Liu."

Liu Mingyuan reminded him in a slightly joking tone: "You must protect yourself well, otherwise I won't be able to answer to your family and the organization."

Tang Ye responded softly: "Secretary Liu, please rest assured! I understand the principle that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
