"It hurts! It hurts!"

Li Dakang opened his eyes and felt the bright white light and the excruciating pain in his body.

"Where am I?"

Li Dakang felt like he had a very, very long dream.

In his dream, he was hit by a car and ended up in the hospital.

He also dreamed of countless doctors trying to save him, but in the end, the rescue failed.

He died without any warning; he just died like that.

In his dream, Li Dakang saw many people attending his funeral, and the old Party Secretary even came in person and shed tears.

They even said it was all his fault, and that if he had taken one more step forward, none of this would have happened.

He also saw the complex look in Gao Yuliang's eyes.

It seems he regrets not managing Hou Liangping better.

At the same time, Li Dakang also saw his wife.

Ouyang Jing spoke many things to herself in front of the grave.

Stop working and spend quality time with her. Their well-being is more important than anything else. Don't be obsessed with personal advancement.

How high is considered high?

Li Dasheng regretted not raising his daughter well and couldn't accept it. Then he opened his eyes.

A series of vivid images surfaced in my mind.

Li Dakang opened his eyes and was somewhat dazed.

For a moment, I couldn't tell if this was a dream or reality.

"I've come back to life!"

Memories return to the point where the car accident occurred.

Li Dakang was lost in thought.

Looking at the instruments beeping behind me, the oxygen tank, and the liquid dripping from the IV drip.

The sounds were very faint, but Li Dakang heard them exceptionally clearly at that moment.

Suddenly he smiled.

With that laugh, the facial muscles that hadn't moved for a long time twitched involuntarily, making the laugh look even uglier than a cry.

Li Dakang tried to stand up, but found that he couldn't get any strength in his waist or legs.

"Is it my legs that are ruined, or my whole body?"

Li Dakang murmured to himself, but just as he was thinking this, the door opened and a medical worker walked in.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of something hitting the ground with a thud.

Then came a deafening roar.

"Secretary Li is awake! Secretary Li is awake! Quickly call the hospital director and notify the people in Guangming District and Jingzhou City."

The medical staff ran out.

All that remained was Li Dakang's mouth, which was about to speak but hadn't yet uttered a word.

Then you closed your eyes again and lay back down. Since the nurse went to call someone, someone should be here soon.

I don't know how long I slept.

What is the current situation in Handong Province?

I wonder if my job will be taken over.

If not too much time has passed, what should I do next?

Is it about bowing down to the powerful provincial party secretary who was parachuted in?

How can I survive this storm? What is the current situation?

After my car accident.

Hou Liangping, the deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau, is probably going to have a very tough time.

Even the disciplinary inspection department would have to be reorganized, and Ji Changming would have to step down.

Li Dakang thought naively.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and the first to arrive were the medical staff and the hospital director.

"Secretary Li, you're awake."

The dean led the team of experts to Li Dakang's side and said in a friendly tone.

Hearing this voice, Li Dakang breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn't have been unconscious for long, and his position shouldn't have been replaced.

Otherwise, the dean wouldn't have spoken to him so politely.

Because the dean has an older sister who is the head of the publicity department.

If Li Dakang is dismissed, the dean is unlikely to come in person.

"It's okay, what time is it today!"

How long have I been unconscious?

Li Dakang asked the question.

"Today is..."

You finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the dean's answer.

It turned out that he had only been in a coma for less than a month.

In a month, not much should change, and the political landscape of Handong Province should remain under the leadership of Sha Ruijin.

Impossible. Sha Ruijin has only been in charge of the work in Handong Province for less than a month, and the entire landscape of Handong Province has already been overturned.

Unless Sha Ruijin is a good-for-nothing, he still commands the authority of a provincial party secretary.

It couldn't have been overturned so easily.

"Secretary Li, please don't move. Let me give you another physical examination."

The dean diligently and personally examined Li Dakang's body.

Various instruments were pushed in and pushed out.

Li Dakang lay quietly; he had just woken up, and his brain had not yet been successfully activated.

There are many things he feels he should do.

But I can't remember it right now.

Oh right, where is Ouyang Jing?

Li Dakang's eyes widened suddenly.

Although Ouyang Jing is his ex-wife, theoretically they have no relationship anymore.

But how could Li Dakang easily abandon the wife who had accompanied him through his impoverished youth?

In the end, Li Dakang shielded Ouyang Jing with his body.

Why didn't I see Ouyang Jing by my side? Could it be that he was so heartless as to abandon me and didn't want to see me even after waking up?

Impossible. Li Dakang didn't want to believe it. He felt that Ouyang Jing wasn't that kind of person. It was highly likely that Ouyang Jing's injuries were more serious.

That shouldn't be the case. I clearly protected Ouyang Jing at the end, how could it be more serious?

Li Dakang's pupils instantly turned bloodshot as he anxiously looked at the dean and asked, "Where's Ouyang Jing? How is she?"

"Ouyang Jing?" The dean was slightly taken aback when he heard Li Dakang's question.

Then it dawned on him instantly: Who was Li Dakang asking about? Wasn't it his wife, Ouyang Jing?

After recovering, Ouyang Jing glanced at Li Dakang and then left.

The dean didn't want to tell Li Dakang such bad news, fearing that Li Dakang wouldn't be able to handle it.

He fell into a coma again.

So when Li Dakang asked the dean, the dean stammered.

"Where is Ouyang Jing? What happened to him?" Li Dakang saw the dean stammering and thought that Ouyang Jing had really suffered some serious injury, or had already passed away.

He shouted in a hoarse voice.

He reached out and grabbed Dean Wang's arm, staring intently at him, his imposing manner evident; the domineering Dakang was back.

"Ms. Ouyang Jing has recovered; you protected her very well!"

"They woke up not long after, then were discharged from the hospital, and we don't know where they went."

The dean trembled under Li Dakang's gaze and dared not hide anything, so he told the truth.

"Gone? How is that possible? Ouyang Jing actually left!"

Li Dakang could accept this answer to some extent.

But he could only accept it to a certain extent. The woman he risked his life to protect hadn't recovered, hadn't taken care of him, and had instead passed away.

This blow was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Li Dakang, a proud and confident man.

Li Dakang lost his strength in that instant, and his hand fell limply to his side.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, the dean panicked instantly.

"Secretary Li, Secretary Li, please cheer up!"

If his words caused Li Dakang to lose the will to live, then he would truly be guilty and would be punished, the kind of punishment that even the propaganda minister's older sister couldn't help him with.

"It's okay, I just need to be alone!"

Li Dakang shook his head.

Just then, cadres from Guangming District and Jingzhou City walked in. Seeing that Li Dakang had his eyes open, they immediately rushed over.

"Secretary Li..."
