Director Ding stood at the village entrance, his eyes sharp. He waved his hand, signaling the SWAT and Police Officers to immediately head to Jiang Mei's house. His movements were decisive and resolute, exuding an undeniable force. The villagers surrounded the entrance to Jiang Mei's house, chattering amongst themselves, their faces a mix of curiosity and worry.
When the large group of police officers stormed into Jiang Mei's house, they were like a pack of wolves, unceremoniously driving away the onlookers. Their actions were rough, and they shouted, "Get back! Get back!" Some villagers were frightened and retreated, and a few elderly people almost fell, but thankfully, the younger people nearby caught them.
The Police Officers inside the courtyard also took the opportunity to protect Liu Ruyue and Jiang Mei as they rushed outside. Jiang Mei's face was filled with panic. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the Police Officers' restraints. Her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, tears welling up, as if they would burst forth at any moment.
Seeing that the situation was lost, the Village Secretary's face instantly turned pale. His eyes were filled with fear and panic, and his legs trembled. Without hesitation, he turned and ran, his plump body looking particularly comical as he ran, almost losing his shoes. Seeing this scene, some villagers covered their mouths and snickered, while others shook their heads and sighed.
The Police Officers escorted Liu Ruyue and Jiang Mei to the vehicles at the village entrance, and the large group began their return journey. At this moment, Director Ding, Director Wang, and Liu Ruyue finally relaxed. Liu Ruyue said to Director Ding, "Director Ding, let's take Jiang Mei to the hospital for a check-up first."
Director Ding nodded and took out his phone, saying to Director Wang, "Director Wang, you take your people back, just leave a few people for us."
After receiving the call, Director Wang spoke into his walkie-talkie, "Unit 5, Unit 6, the SWAT stay behind to provide protection, the others fall back." He secretly rejoiced that Li Qian had called him this time, otherwise, he wouldn't have known what to do when the Secretary asked him to arrange things, and he would have been scolded. He also picked up the phone and dialed Li Qian's number, "Instructor Li, you did a good job this time."
Li Qian's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Director Wang, this is what I should do."
Arriving at the County Hospital, Director Ding pushed open the door to the director's office without hesitation. Inside, a nurse was straightening her clothes. Director Zhu, about to erupt in anger at the door being flung open, immediately stood up upon seeing Director Ding. "Director Ding, your presence is an honor. What brings you here?"
Director Ding glanced at the nurse, instantly understanding the situation. He frowned, fanning his hand as a gesture for the nurse to leave. Only when she was out of earshot did he speak. "Director Zhu, looks like things are quite lively here."
A blush quickly spread across Director Zhu's face. He quickly waved for the nurse to completely leave. "Director Ding, please don't laugh. Just tell me what you need."
Director Ding didn't beat around the bush. "There's an important person who needs the hospital's help. Jiang Mei, a girl from the village. Her situation is a bit complicated; you need to give her a thorough examination."
Director Zhu nodded hastily. "Of course, Director Ding, you can rest assured. You know I'll handle things, and there won't be any mistakes."
Director Ding said without hesitation, "It's precisely because it's you that I'm saying a few words. If it were someone else, believe me, I'd have them fired immediately."
"Yes, yes, I know Director Ding cares for me," Director Zhu nodded repeatedly, a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Alright, I'll be going now. Handle this properly. Try to get that girl back to normal." Director Ding waved his hand, as if swatting away a bothersome fly.
Jiang Mei was pushed onto the examination bed. Liu Ruyue held her hand, gently comforting her, "Don't be afraid, we'll protect you." Jiang Mei's tears finally couldn't be held back, and she nodded, choking back sobs.
Outside the examination room, Director Ding and Director Wang stood together. Director Wang couldn't help but say, "Director Ding, this matter was truly dangerous. If Li Qian hadn't notified us in advance, we wouldn't have known how to handle it."
Director Ding sighed. "Yes, this matter involves the face of the leadership, we must be cautious. I hope Jiang Mei can recover soon, so we can find out the truth as quickly as possible. Right, arrange for the police to go to Wangshan Village to collect samples. Samples must be taken from all the men, and get the results matched as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back. If those troublemakers dare to cause trouble again, I'll arrest them all," Director Wang said fiercely.
"You should also pay attention to the impact," Director Ding patted Director Wang on the shoulder. Director Wang immediately went back to make arrangements.
After giving the instructions, Director Ding walked to the hall and said to Liu Ruyue, "I'm going back to report to Secretary Liu. Chairwoman Liu, thank you for your hard work. Check the examination results and call me if anything happens."
"Okay, Director Ding," Liu Ruyue nodded, her eyes firm.
At this moment, Director Zhu also came over and immediately gathered the psychiatrists to take Jiang Mei for examination. He also arranged for the obstetrics and gynecology department and the testing laboratory personnel to assist, completing the task that Director Ding had assigned.
In the examination room, Jiang Mei lay on the bed, her eyes vacant, as if her soul had departed. Doctor Zhang from the psychiatry department held a notebook, his brow furrowed as he meticulously recorded her every reaction, as if deciphering an abstruse book. Doctor Li from the obstetrics and gynecology department was busy on the side, preparing various instruments to ensure the examination went smoothly. Her movements were skilled and swift, as if performing a precise surgery.
"Jiang Mei, can you hear me?" Doctor Zhang asked gently, his voice like a spring breeze, attempting to awaken Jiang Mei's slumbering consciousness.
Jiang Mei nodded, her voice weak. "I can hear." Her voice seemed to come from a faraway place, carrying a hint of confusion and helplessness.
"Good, we'll take it one step at a time, and we won't let you feel uncomfortable," Doctor Zhang continued to soothe her, his eyes filled with determination and concern.
Outside the examination room, Liu Ruyue stood at the door, her heart filled with anxiety. She clutched her phone tightly, her knuckles white, as if it were her only support. She knew that the results of this examination not only concerned Jiang Mei's health but also affected the peace of the entire village. Her mood was like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment.
At the same time, Director Ding had entered the Secretary's office. The Secretary was sitting behind his desk, holding a document, his brow furrowed as if the document was filled with unsolvable mysteries.
"Secretary, things are a bit complicated," Director Ding said frankly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and anxiety.
The Secretary raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a sword. "What's the situation?" His voice was low and powerful, as if it could pierce through all lies and cover-ups.
Director Ding detailed Jiang Mei's situation and the hospital's arrangements. After listening, Secretary Liu was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Investigate. We must get to the bottom of this. No matter who's involved, we will find them. If this is a village-wide crime, then the entire village will be punished." His voice was firm and cold, as if pronouncing a merciless judgment. This had been a minor matter, but since it involved the provincial level, even a small issue became a major one. He didn't want to stir up any trouble.
