Chapter 1140: Is the Helpful Passerby a County Magistrate?

After finishing the call with Zheng Shaokang,

Tang Ye asked Jiang Jing for instructions: "I'm going to check on the woman and the child."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly: "Go ahead!"

No one had paid any attention to the woman sitting on the ground beside the car.

The conflict had been sparked by the child needing medical attention and the taxi, yet now, the mother and daughter had become the least noticeable people there.

Tang Ye saw the child in her arms with eyes tightly shut and a face flushed red, and he knew they could not delay any longer.

"The child's condition is very poor; hurry and hold the child, then come with us."

The woman looked at Tang Ye in surprise, her eyes full of wariness and hesitation: "You, who are you..."

Tang Ye understood the woman's concerns and hurriedly said: "We are just passing by; hurry and get in the car with the child."

The woman looked troubled and said: "I'm afraid they won't let us leave."

Tang Ye said in a low voice: "Both sides are busy fighting; no one will pay us any mind."

Tang Ye explained the situation to Jiang Jing.

Afterward, he had Ma Ran start the car and slowly approach the woman.

With lightning speed, they helped the woman and child into the back seat.

Just as the car started, someone realized what was happening.

"What about the woman holding the kid?"

"Who dares to take her away?"

"Don't know, looks like a passerby."

"Damn it, daring to meddle in other people's business! Son of a bitch, remember the license plate number; next time I see him, I'll definitely kill him!"

Ten minutes later, the police arrived at the scene of the brawl.

The Police intervened quickly, forcibly separating the two opposing groups.

Police Station Chief Cai Guobiao walked between the two groups with a grave expression and sternly questioned: "What exactly is going on? Why are you gathering to fight? Do you know how terrible the impact of this is?"

When Cai Lin saw his uncle Cai Guobiao, he felt a surge of joy and hurriedly prepared to step forward to add his own biased version of events.

Cai Guobiao glared at him fiercely: "You can't accomplish anything, but you're great at ruining things! Where did that woman who wanted to take her child for medical treatment go?"

"A helpful passerby took them to the hospital," Cai Lin answered with a guilty conscience.

Cai Guobiao pointed at his nephew's nose and sighed helplessly.

Cai Lin's job at the Wharf had been arranged by Cai Guobiao.

Otherwise, with Cai Lin's middle school education, it would have been impossible for him to find such a good job.

However, after starting work, Cai Lin still liked to stir up trouble, which gave Cai Guobiao quite a headache.

"Uncle, how should this be handled?" Cai Lin asked in a low voice.

"You guys smashed a taxi; that is someone's livelihood, so you must pay for the damages," Cai Guobiao said in a deep voice.

"But they started it too," Cai Lin argued, unconvinced.

Cai Guobiao wanted nothing more than to beat Cai Lin up on the spot.

"County Magistrate Zheng specifically called me and told me to make sure this matter is handled properly. You damn well better behave yourself."

Cai Lin had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

He acted with impunity in Zhaojiang Town entirely because he relied on his uncle, Cai Guobiao.

Therefore, he dared not disobey Cai Guobiao's words.

With about ten minutes of driving time left to the County People's Hospital, Tang Ye dialed the Dean's number.

"Dean, this is Tang Ye."

The Dean was startled upon hearing this: "County Magistrate Tang, may I ask what your instructions are?"

"I have a young patient in my car, two years old, with a persistent high fever. You need to make arrangements immediately; I will be at the hospital very soon."

"Understood, I will arrange it right away!"

The Dean hung up the phone and immediately called the Director of the Emergency Department: "Hurry and prepare for the patient's arrival. County Magistrate Tang is personally bringing a patient over, a child only two years old. Have the Pediatrics department send a doctor over for a joint consultation. Remember, this child must be treated with every effort."

The Director of the Emergency Department hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, Dean, I will do my best."

Soon, Ma Ran parked the car at the entrance of the emergency building.

The Director of the Emergency Department was already waiting on the side with medical staff and immediately stepped forward to move the child onto a stretcher.

He reached out to touch the child's forehead, then quickly checked the child's tongue coating and pupils, saying with a grave expression: "Why was the child only brought in now?"

The woman said with a face full of guilt: "The child was receiving treatment at the town hospital before, but the fever wouldn't go down, so the town hospital told us to transfer to the County Hospital immediately. I was originally planning to take a taxi, but then trouble happened halfway."

The Director of the Emergency Department sighed lightly: "Next time you encounter such an emergency, you can call 120."

The woman was stunned for a moment, bit her lip, and smiled bitterly: "I was so panicked at the time that I didn't even think of it."

She regretted it deeply now.

Because the cost of an ambulance was not low, she had wanted to save some money.

She hadn't expected the illegal taxi driver to raise the price on the spot and take advantage of her distress!

The Director of the Emergency Department looked at Tang Ye and Ma Ran and said: "County Magistrate Tang, I will take the child for treatment now; the Director of Pediatrics is already waiting in the consultation room. Please rest assured, we will definitely do our utmost to save the child."

Tang Ye nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

The woman looked at Tang Ye in shock and stammered: "You, you are the County Magistrate?"

Actually, while in the car, she had felt that Tang Ye's status was not ordinary.

Especially after reaching the urban area, when Tang Ye had Ma Ran run red lights while ensuring safety, just to get to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Tang Ye nodded at the woman: "I am Tang Ye. I was conducting research in Zhaojiang Town today and happened to run into you. Because the content of my research needs to remain confidential, please do not mention it to others; just say that a kind passerby helped you."

The woman's eyes reddened with excitement, and she nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will listen to you; I definitely won't tell anyone."

Tang Ye turned his head to instruct Ma Ran: "Leave a phone number for this comrade; if she has any difficulties later, she can contact you directly."

The woman hurriedly expressed her thanks: "Thank you so much."

Afterward, Ma Ran first drove Tang Ye back to the residential complex, then drove the official vehicle back to the County Party Committee Compound.

After receiving Ma Ran's call, Captain Chen of the motorcade had long been waiting in the motorcade office.

When handing over the vehicle,

Ma Ran mentioned the situation of running the red light today to Captain Chen:

"Captain Chen, I'm sorry, I ran a red light today... there were special circumstances at the time..."

Captain Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "Director Ma, don't worry, I'll handle this little matter."

Ma Ran nodded slightly: "If any procedures need to be completed, just let me know."

Captain Chen waved his hand: "Violation records for government official vehicles can be written off annually according to regulations. I'll just make a call to the traffic department when I go to work tomorrow; I'm familiar with the people on the traffic team."

Ma Ran nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll trouble you. If there's anything in the motorcade in the future, you can also tell me."

Seeing Ma Ran say this, Captain Chen couldn't have been happier.

Ma Ran was the County Magistrate's personal Liaison Officer; being on good terms with him would only be beneficial and never harmful to him.

After Ma Ran left,

Captain Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs,

wondering to himself:

County Magistrate Tang usually seems like such a steady person; I didn't expect his Liaison Officer to drive so aggressively, actually daring to run a red light in an official vehicle!

I wonder how he even got his driver's license!
