Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 925 Special Medicine!
After ending the call with Chu Heng, Jia Dongming thought about what Chu Heng had mentioned to him on the phone. He put the receiver on the landline and began to think about who he should promote to be the deputy director of the security department.

"Director Jia! This is Xiao Gao from the Personnel Department of the Municipal Bureau. This is a transfer letter that Director Chu asked me to deliver to you." Just as Jia Dongming was sitting alone at his desk, considering something, there was a knock on the office door. A young man quickly walked into the office, placed a file bag on Jia Dongming's desk with both hands, and reported respectfully.

Upon hearing the young man's report, Jia Dongming smiled and stood up from his desk, politely thanking him, "Xiao Gao! It's so kind of you to come all this way."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's polite words, Xiao Gao immediately replied respectfully, "Director Jia! This is all part of my job. Please check if there are any problems with the file bag. If there are no problems, then I will go back now."

After hearing Xiao Gao's reminder and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the file bag, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Xiao Gao, "Xiao Gao! There's nothing wrong with the file bag."

After seeing Xiao Gao off, Jia Dongming decided to visit Chief Hong at the General Hospital first. So he drove his jeep away from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and headed towards the General Hospital.

More than half an hour later, the jeep stopped in front of the main hospital's inpatient building. Jia Dongming carried a net bag containing malted milk powder and canned food and walked quickly into the inpatient building.

Soon, Jia Dongming arrived at the door of Chief Hong's ward. He saw Chief Hong leaning against the bed with an IV drip, and a middle-aged woman sitting on the edge of the bed with red, swollen eyes from crying. He knocked on the door and politely called out to Chief Hong, who was leaning against the bed, "Chief Hong! I've come to see you!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's familiar voice, Captain Hong instinctively looked towards the ward door. When he saw Jia Dongming walking into the ward, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Comrade Dongming! What brings you here?"

Upon hearing Chief Hong's inquiry, Jia Dongming first placed the net bag he was holding on the bedside table before introducing himself to Chief Hong: "Chief! I heard from Director Chu of the Municipal Bureau's Personnel Department that you were hospitalized, so I came here specifically to see you."

When Chief Hong heard Jia Dongming mention Chu Heng, he immediately recalled the conversation between his superiors and him. He vaguely guessed that the superiors must be planning to have Jia Dongming take over his position and preside over the work of the Criminal Investigation Corps. Otherwise, Chu Heng would not have called Jia Dongming, let alone Jia Dongming would know about his hospitalization.

After figuring out the reason, Chief Hong smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! Judging from what you just said, the leaders are planning to give you a boost of courage."

Upon hearing what Chief Captain Hong said, Jia Dongming immediately smiled and said to Chief Captain Hong, "Chief Captain Hong! I'm just temporarily helping you look after the house. Once you're cured and discharged from the hospital, I'll go back to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to continue my security work."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's polite words, Chief Hong thought of his own illness, and his eyes immediately dimmed. With a solemn expression, he said to Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! I'm afraid my illness will prevent me from returning to frontline work. From now on, the Criminal Investigation Corps will be in your hands."

Upon hearing Commander Hong's words and seeing the dim look in his eyes, Jia Dongming immediately realized he had misspoke. He then comforted Commander Hong, saying, "Commander! I heard your illness was discovered relatively early. If you actively cooperate with the treatment, there is definitely hope for a cure." Commander Hong understood that Jia Dongming was trying to comfort him. Thinking of his own illness, Commander Hong couldn't help but sigh, "Comrade Dongming! When I went to the battlefield, I had already become indifferent to life and death. Now, although I have cancer, I am not afraid. My only regret is that I will no longer be able to fight alongside you."

Although Captain Hong said he didn't care, Jia Dongming noticed the dejection on his face. Thinking of the medicines from later generations, Jia Dongming immediately changed the subject and said to Captain Hong, "Captain! Although our country's medical level is still in the development stage, I have heard that there are special drugs for treating cancer abroad. Tomorrow I will ask my friend in Hong Kong to see if he can help me get some of these special drugs back."

"Young comrade! Is what you're saying true? Are there really effective drugs for treating cancer abroad?" Upon hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Captain Hong's wife, whose face had been filled with sorrow, immediately showed an expectant expression and eagerly asked Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Captain Hong's wife's question and saw her expectant expression, he realized he had said the wrong thing again. He knew that even before he transmigrated, those so-called special medicines could only control the symptoms at most; as for a complete cure, it was almost impossible.

Realizing he had misspoke, Jia Dongming unconsciously showed an embarrassed expression and said to Captain Hong's wife, "Auntie! I heard from a friend that there are effective drugs for treating cancer abroad, but I'm not sure whether they can cure cancer."

"Young comrade! Then please ask your friends for me. We'll buy any effective cancer treatment we can find, no matter the cost," Captain Hong's wife pleaded with Jia Dongming upon hearing his reply.

Faced with the middle-aged woman's plea, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and replied, "Auntie! Don't worry! When I get back, I will definitely go to my friend as soon as possible and ask him about the details."

Jia Dongming's promise undoubtedly gave the other party a glimmer of hope. Faced with Jia Dongming's promise, the middle-aged woman remembered to grasp Jia Dongming's hand and immediately thanked him, saying, "Young comrade! Then I thank you on behalf of my husband, Lao Hong."

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's gratitude, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Auntie! Captain Hong and I have been colleagues for many years. This is just what I should do, so please don't be so polite."

Jia Dongming stayed in the ward for about twenty minutes before saying goodbye to Chief Hong. Chief Hong's wife watched Jia Dongming disappear into the stairwell, then quickly turned and went into the ward, asking Chief Hong, "Old Hong! Who was that young man just now? I've never seen him before. Is that miracle drug he mentioned reliable?"

When Chief Hong heard his wife's question, and thinking of the special medicine that Jia Dongming had just mentioned, a hopeful expression also appeared on his face. He replied, "Xiao Yin! That's the deputy chief of our Criminal Investigation Corps. If I'm not mistaken, he should be in charge of the work of the Criminal Investigation Corps during my hospitalization. As for the special medicine he just mentioned, I don't think Jia Dongming is the kind of person who likes to brag."

Upon hearing Chief Hong's explanation and learning that Jia Dongming was actually her husband's successor, the middle-aged woman's face immediately showed shock. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Hong! This young man looks to be only in his thirties at most. I never imagined that he would be the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps at such a young age!"
