"Sister...sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Qiao Zhenya stepped forward in panic to support the woman. He had never seen his sister cry since he was a child: "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"I...I'm fine. By the way, where did Ding Ning go? How long has he been gone?"

The woman came back to her senses, with tears streaming down her face, but she smiled. That smile was so poignant and beautiful, yet so beautiful.

"Which way are you going? You've been walking for five minutes, right?"

Qiao Zhenya really didn't know what was wrong with her sister, so she scratched her head and replied.

The next moment, he opened his mouth in astonishment. His sister, who had always been dignified and quiet, actually ran away like a 100-meter sprint. He couldn't help but lamented: "I'll go, it turns out that my sister is so fast. MD, why?

Let’s not live. I, the future world champion, can’t outrun my sister. Coach, do you think I should drag my sister to the women’s track and field team?”

"Look at my mouth shape, GUN get out!"

Coach Gong gave him an angry look, but his face showed a thoughtful look.

Damn it, even idiot Qiao Zhenya hasn't noticed until now. His sister obviously has a story with that Ding Ning.

Ding Ning, I seem to have heard this name somewhere. It feels so familiar, but I can't remember it no matter how hard I try. Coach Gong frowned and thought hard.

Outside the door of the accident brigade, the woman looked at the people coming and going with a sense of loss. The figure that had appeared in her dreams countless times had long since disappeared, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

After all, is it still fate or not? Well, it would be better not to see each other than not to see each other, and meeting you will only increase your worries. After all, you are not from the same world, but why do you feel so painful in your heart?

"Brother Xu, why are you so anxious to see me?"

In an Audi A6 with a government license plate, Ding Ning shook his head and threw all his thoughts to the back of his mind. He tried to concentrate and asked Secretary Xu who was sitting in the passenger seat absentmindedly.

"Brother, I'm not looking for you this time, it's Mayor Du who's looking for you. I don't know what's going on. I'll find out when I meet Mayor Du."

Secretary Xu turned around and replied apologetically that he really didn't know why Mayor Du wanted to find Ding Ning. As soon as the meeting ended today, Mayor Du asked him to invite Ding Ning.

"Oh, Mayor Du is looking for me."

Ding Ning muttered subconsciously, perhaps not realizing what an honor it was for Ning Hai's top leader to find him. Instead, he once again fell into a dull state with his eyes straightened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Secretary Xu shook his head helplessly. Ever since he picked up Ding Ning and got in the car, he had been in this state of wandering. After talking to him for a long time, he didn't respond at all. He was not in his state at all.

This guy won't behave like this when he meets Mayor Du, right? That would be troublesome. Secretary Xu thought with some worry, no, he must be allowed to concentrate, and he asked without saying anything: "Brother...brother...

Hey...brother, why are you going to the accident brigade?"

"Ah...oh, wasn't there a kidnapping case yesterday? I was in a hurry to save someone, parked illegally, and was rear-ended. I just went to deal with the accident."

Amid Secretary Xu's endless calls, Ding Ning finally came back to his senses, his eyes gradually became focused, and he replied with an apologetic smile from Secretary Xu.

"Hey, you are acting bravely. Why do you need to deal with it? Let's do this. Send me your license plate number and leave this matter to me. I will handle it for you when you get back."

Seeing that he had finally come to his senses, Secretary Xu said in a generous tone.

"Then... then I'll trouble Brother Xu." Ding Ning agreed after a moment of hesitation. The liability for the accident should have been identified, and the follow-up matters would not be too complicated, but he really didn't do a good job with that woman.

The younger brother was mentally prepared to contact him again, so he would rather owe Secretary Xu a favor than make another trip.

He knew he was escaping, but he really didn't know how to face it.

Bai Qinglian, a name he thought he had long since relieved, reappeared in his life in such an unexpected way, making him subconsciously want to get closer, but subconsciously resisted.

He thought he had forgotten it long ago and would be able to face it calmly when we met again, but when he inadvertently tore open the old scar, he discovered that the bloody wound was still so shocking that it made him unable to breathe in pain.

It turned out that he had never truly forgotten her, and she was always buried deep in his heart and never left her. He just selectively buried and forgotten her deliberately.

He didn't want to know the truth, what it was, it was meaningless to him.

He just wanted to escape, to stay far away from her and never have any interactions with her. The pride and dignity deep in his heart had been trampled to pieces, leaving him in the most embarrassed, humble, helpless, darkest, hasty and truest state.

That side of her was presented in front of her without concealment, leaving him unable to face it and without the courage to face it.

Bai Qinglian, this name full of curses, has become an insurmountable and untouchable eternal wound in his life, full of holes but no one can understand it.

His thoughts were racing and he was in a daze. It was not until the car passed strict inspections by the armed police on guard and entered a very remote but elegant nursing home that he reluctantly cheered up. Under the guidance of Secretary Xu, he saw the car in a ward.

Mayor Du is waiting outside the door.

Secretary Xu glanced at the ward subconsciously. The closed door seemed to isolate him from Mayor Du's world.

This was his first time here, and he had no idea what kind of big shots lived in this heavily guarded nursing home. If Mayor Du hadn't given him the detailed address and asked him to send Ding Ning here, he might never have arrived.

You will know who lives in this place.

"Dr. Ding, you're here. Please go there in person. I'm so sorry!"

Mayor Du held Ding Ning's hand enthusiastically, and said in a sincere and expectant tone: "I've wanted to ask you to take action for a long time, but there have been too many things recently, and you have been very busy there. I am embarrassed to bother you.

Yesterday I learned that your work had come to an end temporarily, so I asked Xiao Xu to invite you. I should have gone out to invite you in person, but you know that my status is very special, and every move I make is watched by countless people, so...

"

"Mayor Du, you are too polite. If you have anything to do, you can just call and say hello. I feel embarrassed to bother Brother Xu to go there in person."

Mayor Du admired Ding Ning's modest politeness and non-arrogance, calmness and calmness.

Knowing that Mayor Du had something to discuss with Ding Ning, Secretary Xu wisely wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Mayor Du stopped him with his hand, "Ming Lu, you are not an outsider either, let's come together."

Secretary Xu shuddered, and his eyes revealed the gratitude of a scholar who died for his confidant. He knew that from today on, he would officially become Mayor Du's true confidant.

It was thanks to Ding Ning that this day came so quickly, which made him even more grateful to Ding Ning.

You must know that it has been more than three years since Mayor Du came to Ninghai to serve as mayor. The secretaries in the secretariat are all eager to take up the position of the city government's steward and become the popular people around Mayor Du.

Unfortunately, Mayor Du is extremely cautious. In a political arena where there are many political opponents, he will not trust anyone easily. The secretaries around him have changed one after another, and no one can survive three months.

Xu Minglu was originally a little secretary in the Secretariat with no clique, no connections, and no backing. He was just dawdling around every day and had no expectations for the future. However, it was precisely because of this that he was spotted by Mayor Du and became his secretary for more than half a year.

Already.

This kind of kindness made him extremely grateful to Mayor Du, but he knew clearly that Mayor Du did not completely trust him and kept many secret things from him. For example, he had never heard of this nursing home.

.

As a secretary, he could not get his boss to open up and be frank. This made Xu Minglu full of anxiety and uneasiness behind his appearance. He was afraid that one day he would follow in the footsteps of the replaced secretaries, so he worked conscientiously and strived to do his best.

He did his best work to dispel Mayor Du's suspicions and doubts about him. For this, he even paid a huge price on his own body, which made him unable to pay the public rations.

The appearance of Ding Ning brought huge changes to his work and life. His body was recuperated, his wife was satisfied, and he was refreshed every day. Now, Mayor Du finally recognized him and treated him as a true confidant. From then on, he

He would no longer be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, dreaming that he had been beaten back to his original shape, which made him burst into tears at how ungrateful Ding Ning was.

"Come in!"

Mayor Du finally pushed open the door called trust, and Xu Minglu saw a pale, skinny middle-aged woman lying quietly on a neat hospital bed.

The woman was wearing a ventilator, her body was covered with various medical equipment, and she was receiving nutrient solution to maintain her life.

Mayor Du breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of sadness on his face. He walked to the bedside and gently massaged the woman's arm. His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the woman's sweet dream and said softly: "This

She is my lover. She has been working in Yanjing. When she came to Ninghai to visit me two years ago, she got into a car accident and suffered severe brain damage. Although she was out of danger after rescue, she never woke up and became a vegetative state.

."

A look of surprise appeared on Xu Minglu's face. He had always thought that Mayor Du and his wife were not in a good relationship. In addition, his wife had been separated for a long time when she was working in Yanjing. Even his closest secretary had never seen him before. He did not expect that

, it turned out that his wife had become a vegetative state due to a car accident and had been living in this nursing home. He finally understood why Mayor Du was so interested in Ding Ning. After all, Ding Ning had a precedent of awakening vegetative people.

"Doctor Ding, you are her last hope. I want to ask you to wake her up."

Mayor Du looked at his wife's pale and bloodless face affectionately, gently stroked her hand, and said with soft nostalgia: "I'll tell you the truth, my wife's natal family is very popular in Yanjing."

A powerful family, if she can wake up, it will be of great benefit to my career, and I will be what people often call the Phoenix Man."

Mayor Du smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't deny that Xinyu's family helped me to get to where I am today, but I can say with a clear conscience that I have never done anything for myself since I took office.

I have sought personal gain and have never done anything against my conscience. My career is indeed very important to me. It is related to whether my ideals and the concept of governance that benefit the people can be carried out smoothly. But in the face of Xinyu's health, those who are concerned about Xinyu's health are very important.

It doesn't matter to me. As long as she can wake up and live healthy, I can give up everything I have now. I come from a remote rural area. When I was a child, my family was very poor. My family had to sell iron to support me in school. I

I was able to live up to my expectations and was finally admitted to Yanda University. Xinyu and I were college classmates. When I first met her, she was like a shining princess, but I was just a poor boy from a poor ravine.
