Chapter 4133

Sun Xiaoqin held his hand, just like a mother holding her son, and sent him inside the second iron gate. Cao Yuanhao held onto the iron bars tightly, refusing to let go. The two male nurses gently pried his hands off the iron bars and took him into the ward. Sun Xiaoqin could no longer see him.

Sun Xiaoqin was in tears, but there was nothing she could do. She handed the food Su Xinghui and the others had brought to a female nurse, instructed her to take good care of Cao Yuanhao, and slipped her a red envelope before reluctantly leaving with Su Xinghui and the others.

Seeing this scene, Su Xinghui was also filled with emotion. Cao Yuanhao had ended up in this state because he was too obsessed with fame and fortune and couldn't let go.

They sent Sun Xiaoqin back to her home, comforted her once more, and then drove onto the expressway to Linshan, preparing to return.

On the way, Xing Guodong said, "Sigh, although I didn't get along with Cao Yuanhao, seeing him like this makes me feel a bit uneasy!"

This time, Su Xinghui and the others had brought two cars. Xing Guodong drove one, and Weng Jingyao and the others drove the other. Su Xinghui sat in Xing Guodong's car with him, so they didn't have many reservations when talking.

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, we were colleagues after all."

Xing Guodong shook his head and focused on driving.

About a dozen kilometers out of Yanzhong City, Su Xinghui's phone suddenly rang. He saw it was a call from Fang Zhonglin's secretary and answered it.

Fang Zhonglin's secretary said very politely, "Mayor Su, have you come to the provincial capital?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, I came to the provincial capital and am now on the expressway back to Linshan."

Fang Zhonglin's secretary said, "Mayor Su, could you come back to the provincial capital? Secretary Fang wants to see you!"

Su Xinghui said without hesitation, "Yes, I will turn back immediately."

After hanging up, Xing Guodong asked, "Mayor, are you going back to the provincial capital?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Fang wants to see me."

Xing Guodong also signaled without hesitation to alert Weng Jingyao and the others in the car behind that he was exiting the expressway.

Xing Guodong found the nearest exit and left the expressway, with Weng Jingyao and the others following.

Xing Guodong said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor, let me drive you. Should I wait for you, or should I go back with Old Weng and the others first?"

Xing Guodong's expression was a bit tense. He looked at Su Xinghui because he knew that Fang Zhonglin seeing Su Xinghui today was likely about the candidate for the new standing vice mayor of Linshan. Otherwise, why would he see Su Xinghui at this time?

Xing Guodong knew that Su Xinghui's opinion had a great influence on Fang Zhonglin. It could be said that the composition of several standing committee members in Linshan City was tailored for Su Xinghui, all to push Linshan City's work forward. The standing vice mayor was the mayor's partner in the municipal government, so this position was naturally very important.

Xing Guodong was very competitive for this position. He had worked in Linshan for three years and was a standing committee member and vice mayor, second only to the standing vice mayor, and he had outstanding achievements. By all rights, now that Cao Yuanhao was gone, it should be his turn.

However, Xing Guodong still had to look at Su Xinghui, because he knew that whether he could get the position depended on Su Xinghui's word. If Su Xinghui favored him, he would have no problem; if Su Xinghui had someone else in mind, he would have to wait a bit longer.
