Chapter 389: Old Gu Is Injured

"Nana, is your mother in good health?"

Yang Lina wiped her eldest son's mouth: "It's not bad. She can eat a big bowl of rice in one meal, but she doesn't like to go out very much. I'm afraid she'll get bored at home."

"It's a blessing to be able to eat. Don't worry too much. The weather is so hot now and everyone generally doesn't like to go out. It's no big deal."

Xu Ma comforted her.

"How is the situation in the porcelain capital?" Xu Ting asked curiously.

Yang Lina shook her head: "It's not good. The streets are full of unemployed people. There are power outages every day. The phone calls only come in from six to eight o'clock in the evening."

"Lack of food?"

"Que, many families over there only eat one meal a day, and both adults and children are extremely thin."

Xu Ting lamented: "I have long heard that life in inland cities is difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

"I don't know what's going on with the boss's family?"

Xu Ma couldn't help but worry again.

"Mom, I just called my eldest brother last week. Their family life should not be affected at all. My eldest brother looks like he has gained a lot of weight!"

Since resigning, Xu Bin has gained weight quickly without the pressure of work.

Xu's mother looked at her daughter: "Why didn't I notice?"

Xu Ting couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

"Mom, how can you tell if you make two or three video calls a week? If you make one video call a month, it will be obvious."

"No... no... how can I rest assured that your eldest brother and his family are not around? He has a stubborn temper, and now he likes to collect shit. I'm afraid he will get into trouble if he goes out."

Xu Ting quickly advised: "August will come soon. In a few months, my eldest brother and his family will move here. By then our family will be reunited."

"I really hope time can go by faster." Xu Ma said sincerely.

Yang Lina helped Xiaobao pour a glass of warm water.

"Mom, how is Jingyi's grandmother's illness?"

Xu's mother shook her head: "The situation is not optimistic. It is hard to say whether we can survive this month."

"so serious?"

"Her grandma's health was not good to begin with. The flu lasted for more than a month and she never recovered. At that time, the elder couple were mentally prepared."

Xu Ma sighed.

In the past two years, more than half of her old friends have passed away, which made her feel a kind of sadness.

"Should we go over here for a walk?" Yang Lina asked.

"No need, the boss and his wife are here, it's enough for them to come forward."

Xu's mother waved her hand. She had already sent some nutritional supplements to her mother-in-law. When the things arrived, her thoughts also arrived, and it was a big kindness.

After the small talk, Xu Dong drove his elder sister to the train station himself, while his eldest nephew was forced to stay by Xu's mother, ready to make up for it.

Of course Ma Xu wants it!

The next day, not long after Xu Dong entered the office, he received a call from Director Cao.

The content of the call was about Gu Haiyuan.

Lao Gu was unlucky. He was already on his way back, but unexpectedly he had an accident on the train and was stabbed in the stomach.

Fortunately, there is no life-threatening condition at the moment.

After Xu Dong received the news, he immediately took Ren Li and drove to Rehe City, where Lao Gu was currently receiving treatment.

At noon, the two finally arrived at the hospital.

"Hello, I'm Xu Dong, I just called..."

The policeman on duty was very polite: "You must be Section Chief Xu of Yanjing Electric Power Company. I am He Jinfeng, the person in charge of this case. You can call me Lao He."

"Lao He, how is the situation of my colleague?"

"The doctor has performed an operation and the situation has stabilized. You don't have to worry too much."

"Can I go into the ward and see him now?"

He Jinfeng shook his head: "The injured is still in a coma. I think it would be better for you to go in and visit him after he wakes up."

Xu Dong nodded.

"Lao He, have Gu Haiyuan's family members arrived?"

"Not yet, you were the first to arrive."

Xu Dong felt a little surprised. Gu Haiyuan's family received the news more than an hour earlier than him. There was no reason to arrive later than him.

"Have you caught the murderer?"

He Jinfeng nodded: "The criminal was controlled on the spot and is currently being interrogated in the bureau."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"The specific motive for the murder is not yet clear. We only know that the suspect is a male from the Northern Dynasties. He is only 13 years old and has entered the country illegally.

According to the analysis of the surveillance video, the relationship between him and the client Gu Haiyuan seems to be very close, and it cannot be ruled out that it is a personal grudge. "He Jinfeng introduced.

"What is this Lao Gu doing?"

Xu Dong secretly cursed.

He Jinfeng looked at his watch: "Chief Xu, it's lunch time now. If you two have no place to eat, why not come back to the bureau with me and help us make notes by the way."

"Okay, excuse me then."

Xu Dong quickly agreed. He came out in a hurry in the morning, and he and Ren Li forgot to bring lunch boxes. For a while, they really didn't know where to go to eat.

Half an hour later, Xu Dong and Ren Li followed He Jinfeng to the local branch. There was a canteen in the branch.

Rehe is close to the capital and has a good supply of supplies.

The lunch in the cafeteria was very simple, with mixed grains and vegetables stewed together, and finally the rice was served by weight. He Jinfeng asked for 4 liang, and Xu Dong and Ren Li each asked for 3 liang.

"Chief Xu, why are you two only 3 liang? Are you full? Don't be polite to me!" He Jinfeng hurriedly advised.

He was a man with sharp eyes. He recognized Xu Dong's luxury car at the beginning and knew that the other party was not simple, so he wanted to get some connections, maybe it would come in handy in the future.

"3 liang is enough. We who sit in the office are not like you who run around outside every day. 3 liang is really enough."

Although the other party treated this lunch today, food is too scarce at the moment, and people should not be too excessive.

In addition, Xu Dong plans to give the other party a "big gift" in return.

First, thank him for the lunch;

Second, speak for Lao Gu. At least from the current situation, Gu Haiyuan has obviously committed a serious violation of discipline this time.

As the direct superior of the person involved, he could not escape joint responsibility no matter what, and could only hope that this incident would be resolved.

He Jinfeng did not persuade them anymore, and personally helped the two of them to prepare the meal: "Chief Xu, we are a small place in Rehe, and we can't compare to you in Yanjing. You two should make do with it!"

Xu Dong took the lunch box:

"What do you mean by making do with it? It's good to have food. The situation in Yanjing is not very good now. Both sides are actually about the same."

"Yes!" Ren Li echoed.

"Chief Xu, Brother Ren, let's not be polite, let's eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Old He, I'll toast you with water instead of wine, and I'll trouble you with the next thing." Xu Dong raised his water glass.

"What are you thanking for? We are all family."

"Cheers..."

The three of them clinked their glasses together.
