Chapter 965

Qi Guohui wished he could bury his head in his crotch, and in his heart he had already greeted all eighteen generations of Hou Junlai's ancestors.

He thought, "You fucking crazy? If you want to die, just carry the explosive pack yourself; why drag everyone else along?"

"Fine, even if you want to drag everyone down, I can't stop you, but don't be a fucking idiot, let me pick up that explosive pack!"

"You want to die, I don't want to die!"

You rely on Su Yang this Hotheaded Youth as your backing, charging around recklessly, not taking County Magistrate Zhao seriously—aren't you afraid of Secretary Zhang?

Damn it!

But right now everyone feels as if they've dropped a burden, and all eyes are focused on him, Qi Guohui.

He wanted to feign ignorance to escape, but there was no possibility.

But he had been mixing in the procuratorate for many years, seeing all kinds of officials, and in this desperate situation he actually came up with a way to avoid.

Just when everyone thought Qi Guohui could only say lenient punishment, letting everyone out of this predicament, Qi Guohui suddenly rolled his eyes white, his hands kept trembling, the corners of his mouth began to foam, his whole body shook like an epileptic fit, and finally he convulsed and collapsed straight to the ground.

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

They originally thought the only two outcomes before them were: either carry the explosive pack, everyone dies together or gets punished together—no one blaming anyone—or receive lenient punishment.

But with dozens of heads among them, they racked their brains and still couldn't imagine that Qi Guohui would actually pull a move of fainting on the spot at this moment.

Su Yang at this moment almost stood up to applaud and exclaim, really; he had thought of all possible words, and in that instant countless ideas flashed through his mind to organize, but even if his brains were beaten out, he couldn't have thought of this move.

He really is a talent; no wonder he could be parachuted directly from the procuratorate to the county as Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary—apparently he does have special abilities.

The atmosphere, originally tense to the freezing point, was instantly eased by Qi Guohui's fainting act.

Even Zhang Jiangbo inexplicably felt relieved a great deal, and he said: "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and call 120, have Xian Yiyuan send someone over quickly! Our cadres fainted from anger during the meeting; if this gets out it will utterly embarrass our county!"

"Since things have come to this, I think we shouldn't dwell on this matter; as for how to handle it, how to handle it, exactly who to handle, we'll follow what we said in the previous agenda: uniformly report to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, and let the Municipal Party Committee leadership decide."

"Meeting adjourned!"

After saying that, Zhang Jiangbo was the first to walk out of the meeting room without looking back, and he didn't even glance at Qi Guohui, this eyesore.

To be honest, he is quite well-informed, although his practical experience is lacking, yet the strange tales he has heard are far more than what grassroots cadres have experienced; even so, he was deeply shaken this time.

However, this play wasn't over yet; it wasn't that Qi Guohui wanted to showcase himself deeply, but someone wanted to continue acting with him, and that person was Comrade Hou Junlai.

He anxiously said: "Even at the fastest drive, it will take about five minutes for Xian Yiyuan to get here; by the time they arrive, the yellow flowers will be cold! Comrade Qi Secretary clearly is having an epileptic fit—hold down his arms and legs, I'll press his philtrum!"

After he spoke, the others actually hadn't reacted yet to whether it was an epileptic fit, but a leading cadre had collapsed limp; if they didn't take emergency measures, they'd really be punished and bear responsibility, and if this got out, nobody would have a good outcome.

At that moment, Comrade Sun Chengjun, chief of Lie Shan Public Security Bureau, came up and kicked Qi Guohui at the base of his thigh, then drove his knee into his thigh.

Political Commissar Tang Niu naturally didn't lag behind either; he launched a flying tackle, pressing deeply onto the other leg. The key is that for someone whose limbs were already twitching, using this flying tackle posture shows how much force he exerted, and at that moment one could even hear a low, muffled scream.

Almost at the same time, Comrade Sun Kangyao, chief of the Finance Bureau, firmly held one of Qi Guohui's arms, and Comrade Zhang Lei, mayor of Shuanggou Town, held the other arm.

At this moment they demonstrated responsibility toward their comrades and the ability to handle sudden emergencies, after all, at this standing committee meeting everyone had criticized this, and nobody wanted to be criticized again.

A series of incidents stemming from an accidental death left them no time for emergency measures, but this time they didn't want to keep being criticized.

As they all exerted force together, Qi Guohui rolled his eyes white again; this time possibly because of the piercing pain from his thigh, causing the saliva in his mouth not to be swallowed in time, and he choked.

Su Yang saw that Qi Guohui had truly choked.

Bao Shuang naturally saw it too, and he shouted: "Quickly press the philtrum! Quickly press the philtrum! Artificial respiration! Otherwise, Comrade Qi Secretary might get into trouble this time!"

Su Yang also shouted: "Let the people from Xian Yiyuan hurry up, preferably bring a professional doctor together; Qi Secretary's situation cannot be delayed!"

Before his words even finished, Comrade Hou Junlai began vigorously pressing Qi Guohui's philtrum; though he's also a little old man, his hand strength is considerable, and after a bout of vigorous pressing, Qi Guohui's lips started to bleed outward.

Even so, he didn't forget to slap Qi Guohui's face: "Comrade Qi Guohui, wake up! Don't scare us! Comrade Guohui, wake up! Open your eyes and look at us!"

If Qi Guohui really had consciousness, he would certainly have woken up immediately and then slipped away down the slope; unfortunately he really did faint, and thus he got slapped several times for nothing.

After being tormented for five minutes, the personnel from Xian Yiyuan finally arrived.

As soon as the Hospital staff arrived, everyone naturally dispersed; the doctors and nurses from the Hospital hurriedly lifted Qi Guohui onto a stretcher, then onto an ambulance, and rushed off to Xian Yiyuan.

To be frank, if a County Party Committee Standing Committee member suffers a mishap at work due to something as minor as a sudden faint, and actually contracts some illness from it, then the head of Xian Yiyuan might as well quit.

Such a matter doesn't even need discussion; really, as soon as a County Party Committee Standing Committee member has a problem in the hospital, not to mention if you resign voluntarily, even if you turn yourself in voluntarily, it's already too late.

This hastily convened expanded meeting of the County Party Committee ended just like that, and in a very farcical manner; in the history of Lie Shan County, it truly is one of a kind.

Originally Zhang Jiangbo's agenda wasn't limited to these two items, because next he also wanted to place the Public Security Bureau under proper leadership management, and the same for the Finance Bureau.

This was a private agreement he reached with Zhao Nanxing: the Public Security Bureau would ultimately be under his control, while the Finance Bureau would be handed over to Zhao Nanxing; otherwise, Finance Bureau Chief Sun Kangyao wouldn't have been summoned to attend the meeting. Who would have thought things would develop to an uncontrollable point, and in the end Qi Guohui had no choice but to feign illness to end this melodramatic farce.

Su Yang walked out of the meeting room and almost jogged back to his office; he really felt suffocated, especially after that scene—if he had really laughed, it would be extremely immature, but if he didn't laugh, he feared he'd make himself sick from holding it in. He rushed into his office, shut the door, and let out a laugh.

Almost the same thing was happening in the other offices as well; at first everyone thought Qi Guohui had fainted, but in an instant they realized, we're all old foxes—no one should be singing tales from Liaozhai!

This really sucked for Qi Guohui; these past few days he'd been causing the biggest trouble, making the biggest commotion, but in the end his attempt to 'golden cicada shedding its shell' failed miserably, and he got slapped several times for nothing.
