Chapter 871: 912

Although Tang Xinghuai was quite arrogant, he wouldn’t dare to go into the hospital and throw someone out directly. Even his uncle couldn’t protect him from that, so he arranged for the fat man to come over to cause trouble. By insulting others and making them angry, even if the police station were to get involved, they couldn’t do much about it since he wasn’t present himself, a clever move indeed.

He was secretly watching the fun from the corner of the staircase, especially when he saw Chu Xiaoyao get so angry; he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. "A daughter paying for her father’s debts," he thought, which was a twisted kind of enjoyment for his twisted mind.

However, to his surprise, the turn of events led his own men, who he had called for, to be driven away by that man. Since he wasn’t there in person, he couldn’t feel the suffocating pressure from Li Yifei that overwhelmed his men. He thought these people were just useless, as even with six or seven of them, just one punch each could have downed that guy.

Just as he was about to scold those men, he saw several people coming from the direction of the elevator; one of them was his uncle, and he recognized the others too, including the Municipal Party Secretary Song Zhentao, which made him secretly relieved that these people were not there when the conflict occurred, as it would have been troublesome if they had witnessed it.

At that moment, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He wanted to stay and see if he could catch any useful information that might allow him to make a profit.

Secretary Song was there to visit his niece, who was also giving birth in that hospital. It was purely a personal visit with his wife and a few other relatives. Upon arriving, they unexpectedly ran into Tang Lekang, Tang Xinghuai’s uncle, who hurriedly followed them.

When Song arrived, he saw the back of Li Yifei entering a ward and felt it looked familiar. However, he didn’t interact with Li Yifei often, and since he met countless people every day, he couldn’t recognize him immediately but felt that he was someone he knew.

As the Municipal Party Secretary in Mile City, the primary leader, even if he saw someone familiar, he had no reason to go over. Then, he went with his relatives to the ward across from where Li Yifei was staying.

"Auntie, you are so busy, how come you’ve come?" Song’s niece was extremely happy when she saw her uncle. Although they were relatives, his being so busy yet taking the time to visit her really made her happy.

"Hehe, such a big event as you giving birth, how could uncle not come? How are you doing here?"

"It’s okay, but it’s a bit chaotic here. There was an argument outside the door just now, and it scared the child into crying."

Secretary Song frowned slightly, and Tang Lekang immediately got startled and hurriedly said, "Secretary Song, I will handle this matter properly and ensure we enhance the security in the hospital."

Secretary Song nodded and said, "The conflicts between doctors and patients are significant. As part of the health department, you must resolve this issue. You need to be stringent with yourself, especially in managing the medical staff, to better resolve these conflicts."

Tang Lekang nodded repeatedly and seriously said, "Secretary Song, I will immediately arrange for an investigation. Such incidents in the hospital cannot be tolerated."

The head nurse by the side frowned secretly, thinking, "The one causing trouble is your nephew, let’s see how you handle this."

After chatting for a while, Secretary Song prepared to leave. After stepping out, he glanced at the patient’s nameplate across the door. Every ward at this high-end hospital had a patient’s nameplate with the patient’s name on it. Seeing the name, Song Zhentao suddenly felt it looked familiar.

"Ye Yunzhu... Eh, is Ye Yunzhu staying here?" Secretary Song asked the head nurse.

The head nurse immediately said, "Yes, the patient inside is called Ye Yunzhu."

Although Ye Yunzhu was only a Deputy County Head, she was quite renowned in the official circles of Mile City. After all, for a woman in her twenties to rise to the rank of Deputy County Head so quickly, one could imagine her future potential. Even being the County Party Secretary, Song Zhentao couldn’t overlook her, and he knew she was taking maternity leave, though he wasn’t sure when she was due to give birth.

Seeing this today, as the Municipal Party Secretary, he couldn’t just not pay a visit.

He directly went and knocked on the door, and a girl came out, it was Su Yiyi, looking puzzled at Secretary Song, she said, "Who are you looking for?"

Secretary Song smiled slightly and said, "I’m here to visit."

Su Yiyi saw Secretary Song’s smile, which clearly showed no ill intentions, but still felt a bit worried because of the earlier altercation, and being unsure of whether to let a man in.

Just then, Li Yifei arrived at the door and seeing it was Secretary Song, he stepped forward with a smile, "Secretary Song, what brings you here?"

Secretary Song was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Li Yifei and then expressed his surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Li Yifei felt a bit embarrassed and said, "My wife is giving birth, so of course, I’m here."

Secretary Song knew that Li Yifei’s wife was Xu Yingying, and he had seen Xu Yingying just a few days ago looking quite normal, not at all appearing to be pregnant - so finding Li Yifei here was puzzling. After a brief pause and quickly thinking it through, he smiled and said, "Well, congratulations then."

"Secretary Song, please come in," Li Yifei smiled as he invited Song Zhentao inside.

Song Zhentao nodded, then turned to the person behind him and said, "You guys go back first, we two will go in."

Seeing Song Zhentao enter the hospital room and then close the door, Tang Lekang was somewhat perplexed. He wondered about the person who could inspire Secretary Song to visit personally. Upon reading the name on the door plate and giving it some thought, he was suddenly startled as he recalled exactly who Ye Yunzhu was.

In terms of position, Deputy County Head Ye Yunzhu and his own role as Deputy Director of the City Health Bureau were at the same level, but Ye Yunzhu had been promoted so rapidly over the past two years that it wouldn’t take much longer to surpass him. There was a saying in the political circles of Mile City: if you befriend Ye Yunzhu now, you might cling to a towering tree in the future; Tang Lekang was well aware of this.

He wanted to go in to take a look, but Song Zhentao had just said there was no need for anyone else, so entering now would be inappropriate. It would be better to take care of Ye Yunzhu later and use this opportunity to get closer to her.

"The patient in this room must be given special attention, definitely not less than Secretary Song’s niece," Tang Lekang immediately instructed the head nurse.

The head nurse paused, amused and incredulous as Tang Lekang, who had just wanted to send away the patient, was now demanding special care for them.

"Are you listening to me?" Tang Lekang asked, seeing that the head nurse did not respond, immediately furrowing his brow.

Tang Xinghuai came over at this moment, having not heard his uncle mentioning anyone in particular, and curiously asked, "Uncle, who is this person?"

Tang Lekang turned to his nephew and casually remarked, "This person is a really big deal."

Tang Xinghuai felt uneasy as he had seen the Municipal Party Secretary Song Zhentao enter the room, realizing something was off. Upon hearing his uncle’s comment, he stammered, "Uncle, are they high-ranking officials?"

"Hmph, didn’t you see the sign? The one giving birth is Deputy County Head Ye Yunzhu."

Tang Xinghuai smirked, saying, "So it’s a Deputy County Head." But he wasn’t too worried; at most, he had just had a verbal conflict, and since his uncle’s position was not lower than the other party’s, it was not a big deal.

The head nurse, who had long disdained Tang Xinghuai, quietly mentioned, "Director Tang, just before Boss Tang asked for a high-end room, we didn’t have one available, so he wanted to evict the current occupants of a room, leading to a conflict."

"What?" Tang Lekang’s eyes widened in shock.

Tang Xinghuai gave a forced smile, "I didn’t know she was a Deputy County Head."

Tang Lekang slapped Tang Xinghuai across the face, angrily saying, "You are such an idiot! How could you cause such a mess? I just promised Secretary Song to handle this matter, and now what am I supposed to tell him?"

Tang Xinghuai grimaced and said, "Well, during the quarrel, I didn’t appear anyway; we’ll just find someone else to take the blame."

Tang Lekang thought for a moment, realizing that was the only option, and said sternly, "Make sure this is handled properly. If this matter is pursued further, I won’t be able to withstand it."

Tang Xinghuai, now genuinely worried, quickly agreed and rushed to arrange things.

Inside the hospital room, Song Zhentao’s wife sat beside the bed, watching the child while chatting with Ye Yunzhu. Although they had never met before, as the wife of a Municipal Party Secretary, she had the necessary social skills.

Meanwhile, Song Zhentao chatted with Li Yifei at the doorway, which was also a way to avoid suspicion; after all, it would be quite impolite for a man to watch a woman nurse a child.

Li Yifei, grinning, said, "Secretary Song, I’ll need your help with the child’s household registration."

Song Zhentao laughed wryly; it was funny that he, a Party Secretary, had to help someone register a household, but he had discerned that the relationship between Ye Yunzhu and Li Yifei was not normal and that the registration couldn’t proceed in the usual way. Given Ye Yunzhu’s sensitive position, spreading this news could have bad consequences. "Well, that’s a small matter, absolutely no problem."

Li Yifei immediately said, "That’s very kind of you, Secretary Song."

"You, my boy, I really don’t know what to say," Song Zhentao said with a look of admiration on his face. Li Yifei’s wife was Xu Yingying, a major corporate executive, and his lover happened to be the currently highly sought-after Ye Yunzhu in Mile City’s political circles; it was truly baffling how Li Yifei managed all this.
