Chapter 831 – Anything is possible when the God of Plagues is around
Next day.
Morning.
Dong Xuebing opened his eyes slowly and felt a sharp pain in his arm. He looked at his arm and saw a blood transfusion tube inserted.
“Director Dong!”
“Thank god!”
“Director Dong woke up!”
“Get the doctor here! Hurry!”
The two nurses in the ward screamed, and one of them rushed out.
Dong Xuebing looked around weakly. “I…. Is this Second Hospital?”
The nurse replied. “Yes. You had been unconscious since yesterday.”
Dong Xuebing looked beside him and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair. His hand was also inserted with the blood transfusion tube, and the other end was connected to his arm. “This….”
The nurse explained. “You lost too much blood, and this is the fifth person to donate blood to you.”
Dong Xuebing tried to sit up. “Thank you, Sir.”
“Don’t get up first.” The nurse quickly stopped him. “Wait for the doctor to examine you first.”
The middle-aged man smiled. “Don’t mention it, Director Dong. We, Nan Shan District residents, will never forget what you did for us during the earthquake. You saved my wife, and we are grateful to you. We have the same blood type, and there’s nothing more to say. Just draw as much as you want. I only want you to be fine. If not, I would not be able to face my wife. Hahaha….”
Dong Xuebing quickly thanked him. “Thank you.”
The nurse laughed. “Director Dong, you are very popular here. When we asked the public for help, more than a dozen people rushed to the hospital to donate blood. Without you, I would never know we have many people with RH-negative blood in Nan Shan District. Many of them were not registered with the hospital, and an old man insisted on donating his blood to you. We tried to explain that he was too old and his blood type was different. But he still insisted and only left after much persuasion. We were all touched.”
Dong Xuebing sighed. “Thank you, everyone.”
“That’s what we should do.” The man laughed.
The nurse added. “Yes. That’s right. I have many classmates in the District First Hospital, and you saved all of them. I had always wanted to thank you. I would donate my blood to you if I got the same blood type.”
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “I am a Party Member and government staff. It’s my job to protect the people, and it is not the same as the people who are saving me. I will remember this for life.”
The middle-aged man interrupted. “Director Dong, you are wrong. “Why is it your duty to save us, and it’s not our duty to help you? Even government staff is human. There’s no difference, and my wife said you are a good leader. You must live a long life.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Thanks.”
A few doctors rushed into the ward and checked Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing asked. “Oh, did you all inform my wife and mother that I am hospitalized?”
The doctor looked at Dong Xuebing. “We wanted to notify them, but I saw your body condition stabilize last night. So, I did not call them. Do you want me to call them now?”
“No….” Dong Xuebing stopped the doctor. “I don’t want them to be worried.”
A while later, Geng Yuehua’s family entered the ward. The doctor found nothing wrong with Dong Xuebing and left with the nurses.
Lin Pingping’s eyes were all red. “Director.”
Geng Xinke grabbed Dong Xuebing’s arm. “We were so worried last night. We….”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “What can happen to me? How is Secretary Geng?”
Geng Xinke’s father said. “Yuehua is out of danger now and is hospitalized here for observation. The doctors say she is doing well, thanks to you.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “It was the doctors who saved her. There’s nothing to do with me.”
Geng Yuehua’s mother started sobbing again. “We heard the doctor say you donated five times the normal amount of blood. She would be gone if not for you. Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. “Don’t mention it. I did not do much except for donating some of my blood.”
Everyone in the room knew it was not some of Dong Xuebing’s blood. It was 2,000 ml of blood. Anyone else would have died twice.
Dong Xuebing was exchanging his life to save Geng Yuehua.
Dong Xuebing felt weak the whole morning and could not move.
Geng Yuehua’s mother wanted to remain in the ward to care for Dong Xuebing, but Geng Xinke knew his mother had not slept last night. So, he asked his parents to go back while Lin Pingping stayed to look after Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing said. “I still have not congratulated you and Xinke. I heard you two are getting married.”
Lin Pingping joked. “We have not decided on the date, and I am still considering.”
“Why are you in Nan Shan District and not Yan Tai County?”
“Sister Yuehua had transferred me to Nan Shan District’s Investment Promotion Agency as the Deputy Chief.”
“Oh, a promotion. Good.”
“This is nothing compared to you. You are climbing up the ladder too fast.”
Dong Xuebing’s former colleagues and subordinates came to visit him.
Subdistrict Office’s Zhou Yanru, Wang Yuling, Peng Gang, District Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Wu Liang, and his men, Zhu Zhu and Fei Fan… visited Dong Xuebing with fruits and flowers.
Dong Xuebing chatted and thanked them.
Other than the District Party Committee and Commission for Discipline Inspection, not many people knew that Dong Xuebing had come for an investigation. But his commotion was too big, and almost everyone in the district knew about it.
Everyone was shocked by the God of Plagues again.
This was too familiar. Wherever the God of Plagues goes, something will happen.
See…. Dong Xuebing had come for one day, and something big had happened in the peaceful District.
The District Party Secretary was almost killed in a car accident.
Dong Xuebing donated five times the usual amount of blood.
Which one of these incidents is not shocking?
Since he started working here, almost all the major and shocking incidents in Nan Shan District were related to Dong Xuebing.
Nothing happened when he was not in Nan Shan District.
Troubles started once he stepped into the District again.
Everyone was used to this, which was why Dong Xuebing got this nickname.
