Reborn as a Noble’s Son
Chapter 1057 - Chapter 1057 Chapter 1013 A False Alarm

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1013 A False Alarm Chapter 1057: Chapter 1013 A False Alarm After arranging these matters, Nie Zhenbang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Anna and his mother-in-law beside him, walked over, squatted down, and quietly reassured them, “Mom, everything will be fine, it definitely will be. Dad has always been in robust health; this is just an accident.”

Nie Zhenbang’s speech, with its measured pace and stable tone, exuded a naturally convincing aura. This kind of ability isn’t something ordinary people can learn. Some people are simply born with it.

Clearly, Nie Zhenbang was one of those people. With just a few words, he considerably improved his mother-in-law’s spirits. She took Nie Zhenbang’s hand, nodding, and said, “Zhenbang, I really appreciate your help this time.”

Nie Zhenbang knew what his mother-in-law meant. His mother-in-law was an intelligent woman. Father-in-law Yang Shengli’s meteoric rise into the Nine-Ding top ranks owed much to her, and it could even be said that her contribution was indispensable.

Shaking his head, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “Mom, why be so formal with me? You’ve already given me your most precious daughter. We’re one family, no need to speak as if we’re two.”

This remark made Anna somewhat displeased. She glared at Nie Zhenbang before she also smiled and said, “Mom… why be so formal with him?”

Yang Anbang had gone to contact medical experts, and Yang Anguo was making calls to the Yang family’s former colleagues and subordinates. At this moment, only Yang Anjun and Anna remained. Nie Zhenbang stood up and said, “Mom, let’s go to the room to rest for a bit.”

The hospital rooms at the sanatorium were all high-ranking officials’ wards, set up as suites. As the once core figure of the Just-Ding, Yang Shengli naturally stayed in a large suite, with a layout of two bedrooms and a living room. One of the rooms was a sickroom, equipped with various instruments and medical equipment, even more complete than a standard intensive care unit. Outside the sick room was a sizable living room, next to which was another bedroom. At this moment, the family was sitting on the sofa in the living room, clearly able to see Yang Shengli’s condition through the transparent glass. Nurses and doctors were on standby 24 hours a day, offering the family the greatest peace of mind.

Around six in the afternoon, Yang Anbang came in from outside, nodded at Nie Zhenbang, and said, “Zhenbang, everything has been arranged. Tomorrow morning, authoritative neurology experts from America and Germany will come here for a consultation.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the door was pushed open from the outside. Nie Guowei and Ye Shuxian walked in from outside, which made both Nie Zhenbang and Anna stand up.

“Dad, Mom!”

Unlike Nie Zhenbang’s brief greeting, Anna had already gone up to them: “Dad, Mom, why have you both come as well?”

At this time, her mother-in-law also stood up: “My dear in-laws, I’m really sorry to have alarmed you.”

Nie Guowei nodded and said, “Sister-in-law, please don’t say such things. We’re family; there’s no need for such formalities. Shengli’s situation is really sudden. Shuxian and I simply had to come and see.”

Nie Zhenbang had great respect for his stepmother Ye Shuxian, who lived up to her name. Deep down, he was very grateful to her. She harbored no prejudice against him. In his previous life, shortly after his appearance, the Nie family fell apart, and though Ye Shuxian had her opinions and paid him little mind, this time around, the Nie family’s situation had changed dramatically, and Ye Shuxian was all the more caring towards him, even more so than a biological mother. People are creatures of emotion, and Nie Zhenbang was no exception. He was indeed melted by the maternal love shown by Ye Shuxian.

The mother-son relationship between them was even better than that between Ziyu, his sister, and their mother. At this moment, Ye Shuxian naturally sat beside Nie Zhenbang’s mother-in-law, holding Chen Lirong’s hand warmly, and said, “Older Sister, a good person is bound to have good luck. I believe big brother Shengli will pull through.”

At this point, Nie Zhenbang and his father Nie Guowei naturally walked to the door.

Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Nie Guowei’s face showed unabashed pride. As a father, Nie Guowei was filled with remorse. Back then, he had underestimated the pride and self-esteem of Nie Zhenbang’s mother. By the time Nie Guowei looked back, it was too late.

“You’ve lost a little weight, take care of yourself when you’re out.” Like any ordinary old man in this world, Nie Guowei said softly.

Nie Guowei was well aware of his own abilities, and that his son didn’t need his worries. As a father, all he could offer was concern and care through his words.

Nie Zhenbang smiled slightly, appearing somewhat shy at the moment. He nodded and said, “I will take care of myself, don’t worry.”

Watching Nie Zhenbang’s demeanor, Nie Guowei seemed to be confirming his attitude. After a long pause, he nodded and said, “Since you were little, you’ve never needed us to worry about you. That’s my pride, but it also highlights my shortcomings as a father. It’s good that you understand. Health is the capital of the revolution. You must take good care of it.”

Then, switching the subject, Nie Guowei said, “This time, your work in Hongjiang River was excellent. Many of the old comrades spoke highly of you. Your method of working is very gentle, imperceptibly influencing, a very good approach, and it shows that you are maturing step by step. Do you have any future plans?”

The entire Nie family placed great hopes on Nie Zhenbang. His rank and position were advancing step by step. At forty years old, to be in his current position was indeed extraordinary. According to the current unwritten rules of central leadership positions, even after four terms, Nie Zhenbang would only be fifty-six, in his prime, and with every chance of succeeding.

It was apparent that Nie Guowei’s inquiry was about the likelihood of Nie Zhenbang’s chances after President Qiao’s term, which is to say, eight years later.

Nie Zhenbang chuckled and then shook his head, “As for the future, I haven’t thought that far ahead. The work in Hongjiang River has just begun, and my current focus is on that – how to construct a better Hongjiang River, drive its economic development. That’s what I’m considering now. The future is still too distant, and there are too many uncertainties. I dare not think about it, nor do I wish to.”

At this point, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about this now. We’ll discuss it after I return tomorrow.”

…

Nie Guowei and Ye Shuxian didn’t stay for too long, as Nie Guowei was well aware that for the Yang family, it was a critical time. Although they were relatives by marriage, it wasn’t appropriate to linger.

The following afternoon, the experts hired by Yang Anbang arrived at the Military General Hospital. They quickly joined the hospital’s expert team, and after carefully reviewing Yang Shengli’s medical records, the American experts proposed a new treatment plan. The clot had been cleared, and the intracranial pressure was also reduced. The reason he hadn’t woken up was probably an issue with brain cell stimulation.

The American experts recommended a treatment plan that used the latest neuropharmacological drugs to stimulate the patient. After consulting with experts from the Central Health Bureau and the patient’s family, Nie Zhenbang decided to go with this treatment plan.

That evening, after more than four hours of medication, Yang Shengli finally woke up. According to the monitoring equipment, his blood pressure and heart rate were all very stable.

The expert team was busy again, conducting a thorough examination of Yang Shengli’s body to ensure there were no sequelae such as hemiplegia. Following the treatment plan, Yang Shengli could fully recover, and the hearts of the Yang family members that had been hanging by a thread could finally rest easy.

Nie Zhenbang also felt relieved; with Yang Shengli awake, it meant that the Yang family’s banner was still standing. As a former core figure of the Jiu Ding, Yang Shengli’s presence meant that no one would dare to mess with the Yang family. This was about face and prestige.

Later, Yang Shengli summoned Nie Zhenbang for a private talk. No one knew exactly what the father-in-law and son-in-law discussed, nor dared to ask.

On the side of An Na, Nie Zhenbang had her stay there while he himself returned to the Nie family’s large courtyard alone that evening.

Once home, Nie Zhenbang locked himself in his room. The news just revealed by his mother-in-law had deeply shocked him.

President Qiao had just taken office, and unexpectedly, preparations for the leadership shuffle eight years later had already begun. According to the information from Yang Shengli, there was a significant debate about his position, mainly focusing on the issue of age.

After calculating, Nie Zhenbang would only be forty-eight years old in eight years. Entering the Jiu Ding core at such an age would be quite astonishing. The major arguments were indeed about this issue of age. Father-in-law Yang Shengli didn’t spell it out, but Nie Zhenbang could infer their stance. Clearly, his chances in eight years weren’t great.

After more careful consideration, even Father-in-law Yang Shengli didn’t join the Jiu Ding core until after he was fifty-six. The former President Yuan, Director Shen, were nearing sixty when they entered the core. Sixteen years from now, Nie Zhenbang would just be fifty-six, and he might still have a chance.

But, Nie Zhenbang had even deeper considerations.

…

Early the next morning, Nie Zhenbang made a phone call to An Na, inquiring about his father-in-law’s recovery and instructed An Na to stay in Jingcheng and take good care of her parents. However, Nie Zhenbang himself booked a return flight to the Hongjiang River.

In the afternoon, the plane landed at Hongcheng Airport, and Nie Zhenbang, accompanied by Dai Fei, walked out of the airport, where Hong Feng was already waiting outside.

Upon entering the car, Dai Fei took the initiative to take the driver’s seat, and Hong Feng, with a serious expression, sat in the passenger seat, handing a document to Nie Zhenbang, “Secretary, this is the file Secretary Gong sent yesterday. Please have a look, it’s about the matter of affordable housing.”

Affordable housing?

Hearing this and seeing Hong Feng’s serious expression, Nie Zhenbang’s brows also furrowed. Could it be that Secretary Gong’s investigation had made a breakthrough?(To be continued.
