Chapter 1364: Hospitalize


    Night.


    Around 11 pm.


    County People''s Hospital.


    Dong Xuebin was pushed around the hospital for various examinations and had his wounds stitched up. After a needle was injected, he was also given an IV.


    "Don''t administer the IV. I am fine."


    "This is medicine, and it must be administered."


    "I can''t sleep with this needle."


    "With such a severe injury, you must get the IV."


    Dong Xuebing felt ufortable and bantered with the young nurse for a while.


    The door opened, and Jiang Fangfang entered alone. It waste, and many County leaders had gone home to rest. However, the County Party Secretary and the Mayor were still at the hospital inspecting the situation. They had probably just visited Zeng Jinhua and the other family members of the Public Security Bureau who were rescued at noon.


    Dong Xuebing looked over, "Mayor Jiang, you haven''t gone back yet?"


    Jiang Fangfang had overheard Dong Xuebing and the nurse talking. She asked the young nurse, "How is Mayor Dong? Are his wounds all treated?"


    The young nurse nodded andined, "Everything is fine, but Mayor Dong is not cooperating with us."


    Dong Xuebing was speechless. "I am also a doctor, and I know my physical condition. I don''t need the IV."


    "Mayor Jiang, look at him." The young nurse pouted. She was dedicated to her job and was not afraid of Dong Xuebing.


    Jiang Fangfang nced at Dong Xuebing and said calmly, "No matter how good your medical skills are, you must listen to the doctors and nurses in the hospital. If they ask you to get an IV, then get it."


    Dong Xuebing smiled wryly, "Alright, I''ll listen to you."


    Jiang Fangfang nodded and said to the nurse, "Carry on with your work."


    "Okay. Then I''ll leave. If you need anything, call me." The young nurse closed the door and left.


    Jiang Fangfang sat down by the bedside, looked at the bandages on Dong Xuebing''s body, and asked, "Does it hurt?"


    Dong Xuebing smiled and said, "It''s nothing, just a minor injury. I''ll be fine after a couple of days of rest."


    "This cannot be healed in a day or two." Jiang Fangfang pulled up his nket. "I just had a chat with Secretary Meng and asked the doctors. They n to give you another half month of leave based on your injuries. Don''t think about anything else. Just focus on recovering. You''ve made a great contribution this time and saved a lot of people. The county will report to the city tomorrow. When you are discharged after recovery, and when everyone else is also mostly recovered, the county ns to hold amendation meeting, mainly for you and a few outstanding firefighters."


    "I can be discharged tomorrow. I''m fine."


    "Save it. Recover well. You will be busy with the family quarters rebuilding. You have work to do, so you need to be in good health."


    Oh, they will not be taking the position of deputy in charge of the project from me.


    Dong Xuebing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.


    This guy didn''t want to stay in the hospital because he feared someone else would take credit for his achievements. Although this incident could earn Dong Xuebing some points, saving lives and receivingmendations would undoubtedly enhance his reputation and political achievements, leaving a profound mark on his record and impressing the leaders above. However, what he valued the most was his achievements in his field of work. He saved numerous lives and left more than one mark on his record. Still, he wanted others to recognize his professional capabilities. Therefore, he cared more about achievements in his field of work.


    "Are you fine alone tonight?" Jiang Fangfang looked at him and asked, "Otherwise, I can stay and apany you."


    Dong Xuebing knew she was being polite and quickly said, "No, no. You''ve had a tiring day. I''m fine alone, and my wounds were treated."


    Jiang Fangfang thought about it and said, "I will ask Xiaona to stay."


    Dong Xuebing said, "Really, there''s no need. Let Secretary Li go home. I''m fine alone, and there''s a nurse here. The main concern now is Sister Zengs injuries. I''m okay."


    Jiang Fangfang said, "I haven''t asked you. When did you learn medical skills?"


    Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and said, "I learned it long ago. I know a bit about both Chinese and Western medicine."


    Jiang Fangfang smiled, "Then I won''te to the hospital when I''m sick. I''ll find you."


    "Sure." Dong Xuebingughed, "You can trust me with your medical needs. But let''s be clear. My medical skills are just so-so."


    Jiang Fangfang nced at him, "Even the best surgeon in our county was impressed when he checked Mrs. Chu''s injuries just now. You call that so-so?"


    "It''s not like that. It was luck. It happened that I had learned this kind of surgery before. Actually, I wasn''t confident when I was performing the surgery. I was taking a risk as I had no other choice." Dong Xuebing had to make up an excuse. He didn''t want to be too high-profile.


    "Regardless, you''ve worked hard this time."


    "It''s okay, it''s what I should do."


    "I will peel an orange for you. Can you eat?"


    "Oh, don''t bother. Please go home and rest."


    Jiang Fangfang didn''t move. She opened a fruit basket on the bedside table, peeled an orange, and handed it to him.


    Dong Xuebing reached out to take it, saying, "Thank you."


    "Don''t move. Just open your mouth," Jiang Fangfang said, holding the orange.


    Dong Xuebing felt a bit embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth. Jiang Fangfang''s small hand immediately entered his mouth. After the orange went in, he felt his lips touching Jiang Fangfang''s fingertips. He blushed slightly as he chewed the orange and swallowed. Then, the second slice came.


    One slice


    Three slices


    Five slices


    One orange was gone.


    "Have another one."


    "No, I can''t eat anymore."


    "Okay." Jiang Fangfang looked at her watch. "I should go back now. I''lle to see you again tomorrow. By the way, your clothes were torn. Give me your keys.


    Dong Xuebing blinked, "Keys?"


    Jiang Fangfang said, "I''ll bring you some clothes when Ie over tomorrow. The ones you wore before are all stained with blood. I asked the nurses to throw them away. The stains cannot be removed."


    Dong Xuebing apologized, "Sorry to trouble you."


    Jiang Fangfang stood up, saying, "Dont mention it."


    "Err thank you." Dong Xuebing reached out for a drawer with his slightly painful arm. He found his keys in the drawer and handed them to her. "Thanks."


    "What kind of clothes do you want me to bring?"


    "Any will do."


    "Are they all in the wardrobe? Got it."


    "Take care on your way, and be safe."


    Jiang Fangfang nodded and said, "Old Chu''s wife''s condition is rtively stable. You should talk to them more these few days.


    "I understand." Dong Xuebings expression became serious after Jiang Fangfang left. He closed his eyes andy on the bed, thinking about Mayor Jiangs intentions.


    The Jiang''s faction was weak in the Party Committee, and winning once was just a fluke. Topete with the Meng faction, they needed to expand their camp. Chu Peng had always been Jiang Fangfang''s man. Although he switched sides, he was the easiest to win over. The timing was right as Dong Xuebing saved Zeng Jinhua''s life.
