The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 808: Chapter 784:

It was a clear afternoon, the October heat in Yang Guang felt a bit oppressive. Despite the office air conditioning being set very low, Ji Changguo still felt a wave of restlessness in his heart, along with a feeling of stifling heat. He loosened his tie, thinking it was the tie suppressing him, but even after loosening it, he still felt very uncomfortable.

While Ji Changguo was torn about what to do, having even decided he would definitely visit the apartment of the college girl he sponsored last month to have a passionate night, the office door was pushed open. Several staff members dressed in dark blue uniforms, wearing hats from the Disciplinary Inspection Committee, walked in. Two people walked shoulder to shoulder up to Ji Changguo, the person on the left saluted Ji Changguo, then fished out a dark green booklet, as if it were all part of a set procedure.

"Ji Changguo, you’ve been reported for embezzlement, accepting bribes, perversion of justice, and keeping a mistress outside for a long time. You are now formally under shuanggui!" The staff of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee spoke without a trace of emotion. As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Changguo went limp, thinking they were here to ask him to assist in the investigation, not expecting they were actually here to arrest him. The stash of cash hidden at home immediately surfaced in his mind, with no time left to move it.

"Can I...make a phone call?" Ji Changguo calmly looked at the Disciplinary Inspection Committee staff.

"No, you must come with us now!" The committee people were as unmoving as mountains, even for a provincial vice secretary level official they showed no courtesy. Realizing the trouble, Ji Changguo nodded and said, "Then I’ll pack some clothes and go with you!"

"Alright!" The committee people nodded immediately.

Inside the office were Ji Changguo’s change of clothes, he randomly packed a few pieces, then followed the committee people out. Not only Ji Changguo was taken away, several important officials under him were also taken, including a minister.

In an instant, the Provincial Government Office felt as though a powerful nuclear missile had been dropped, shocking everyone. If Liu Zhonghai’s arrest was only accidental, then this time with Ji Changguo and his subordinates being arrested, it was surely a conspiracy. Many people smelled the scent of intrigue.

"Good heavens, Secretary Ji was arrested? Isn’t this terrible?"

"Hmph, what’s the big deal, wrongdoing and shuanggui should go hand in hand!"

"Old Yu, is your record clean? I can assure you, there’s hardly anyone inside this Provincial Government Office with a clean record!"

"Hehe..."

Everyone started discussing, that Old Yu had a smile on his face, someone beside him asked curiously, "Old Yu, aren’t you the worst of them all, how many villas do you have now? Aren’t you afraid of shuanggui? Besides, you used to be with Ji Changguo right? Why are you unaffected?"

"Shh..." Old Yu immediately shushed, "Being caught in these things, you can’t blame anyone else, you can only blame yourself!"

"Why?" Someone asked curiously.

"Hehe, in the officialdom, what matters isn’t ability, nor relations. There’s only one thing that’s most important!" Old Yu looked around mysteriously, then revealed a mysterious smile. People crowded around, asking, "What is it?"

"Stand in the right team!" Old Yu hesitated for a long time, finally revealing the most crucial point. He grinned and said, "Some things have nothing to do with ability, being in office, taking it easy is most important, otherwise why have assistants and secretaries? We just need to sign off on files, sometimes embezzle a little, as long as nobody finds out, no problem. So being in office, the key is to learn how to stand in the right team. Back when I was under Ji Changguo, I saw that Ji Changguo wasn’t it."

"Then... what made you decide to move to Secretary Zhang’s side?" People eagerly inquired.

"Hehe, it was Tongtong’s wedding day!" Old Yu grinned and said, "You say, someone who can have several key Central figures attend, and such a promising son-in-law, isn’t this team stable?"

"I see..." Everyone voiced their admiration, Old Yu truly proved keen insight. How come none of us have that? Although they didn’t agree with some of his words, the notion of learning to stand in the right team spoke volumes to everyone.

No matter the ability, no matter relationships and background, as long as one stands in the right team, what is there to fear?

On the same day Ji Changguo was about to be under shuanggui, Zhang Yantong found that Ye Chen’s life signs seemed to have vanished. From a medical standpoint, Ye Chen was completely dead. Zhang Yantong looked at those already tranquil life signs, crying heartbreakingly, even wanting to bang her head against the wall and leave with Ye Chen. But beside her, Fang Qin and several police held her back.

"If Ye Chen is dead, what meaning is there in my living?" Zhang Yantong sobbed bitterly. With the loss of her beloved, life lost its meaning. Her whole existence seemed to lose hope. Zhang Yantong wanted to die.

The life signs were connected to the nurse center, Ye Chen’s signs vanished, several nurses immediately entered the ward, and did a record noting the time of death. A nurse draped a white sheet over Ye Chen’s face, Zhang Yantong watched this, feeling heart-wrenching agony, she cried desperately, "No, don’t!"

Just as the nurse was about to remove Ye Chen’s life sign apparatus, a miracle suddenly occurred, the previously quiet heart monitor suddenly bounced once.

"Huh..." The nurse froze on the spot. Not only her, everyone else witnessed this moment too, several nurses wondered aloud, "Strange, how can a dead person have a heartbeat?"

"Never mind, pull the plug!" The head nurse replied.

However, just as the nurse continued to pull the plug, the heart monitor bounced again, and the frequency increased. In the ward, everyone was stunned, wondering whether there was an issue with the monitor, or had the deceased come back to life?

Coming back to life after death isn’t impossible, but it’s extremely rare in the field of medicine. What’s stranger is Ye Chen wasn’t beyond death for ten minutes, yet his heartbeat resumed again. The ward became silent, everyone held their breath, Zhang Yantong exclaimed, "Don’t move, he... he hasn’t died, he can’t bear to leave us. He refuses to die! King Yan can’t take him!"

"Quick, summon the doctors!" The head nurse shouted urgently.

Following this, the head nurse personally measured Ye Chen’s blood pressure, heartbeat, and pulse. Soon, a throng of specialists hurried to the ward, and after intense investigation, they astonishingly concluded that Ye Chen’s lung had restored to normal, along with his life signs.

"My god, this is a miracle! Absolutely a miracle in the medical field!"

An elderly specialist waved his arms, hardly believing the sight before him, having studied human physiology till now, he’d never encountered the phenomenon of someone coming back to life, with their life signs being flawless. Even the originally injured lung had completely healed.

"It’s a miracle, this must be a miracle!" Other specialists nodded one after another.

"No, this isn’t a miracle!" Zhang Yantong resolutely said, "This is the power of love!"

Indeed, it’s the power of love. During this half-month, Ye Chen endured a lethal struggle, immersing in what seemed the Dark Abyss, myriad monsters battled fiercely against him. Countless failures, countless times standing up again, because of love, he had to fight tenaciously, because of love, he had to rise again and again.

Ye Chen recovered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, most delighted of all was Zhang Yantong, for Ye Chen was safe. During this period, Liu Momo was likewise sad and distressed. The Chaoyang Company incident happened because she had Ye Chen go there, which led to his injury, causing Liu Momo to wake teary-eyed at night. Now Ye Chen was awake, Zhang Yantong called the Chaoyang Company office, Liu Momo finally sighed with relief. Eagerly taking leave, she went to see Ye Chen.

In the ward, Ye Chen’s breathing returned to normal, nurses constantly watched over him, afraid his situation was akin to his sudden revival, fearing another sudden death. However, this time, Ye Chen didn’t stage a repeat of the unexpected. That night, Ye Chen awoke. The first person he saw was Zhang Yantong.

"Tongtong, why are you here?" Ye Chen struggled to speak.

"Well, who else but me, who do you want to see? Li Ruo?" Zhang Yantong said mildly annoyed.

"No!" Ye Chen shook his head, asking, "How long was I asleep for?"

"Thirteen days!" Zhang Yantong wiped her tears, saying, "Do you know how worried everyone was? You bad man!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong!" Ye Chen laughed weakly, "Thirteen, what a lucky number. Damn it, I finally woke up, I thought I’d never wake up! Help me up, I’m kind of hungry!"

"Alright, I’ve made some porridge, the nurses said you’d wake tonight and instructed me to give you only porridge, so I have it ready!" Zhang Yantong hurriedly said.

"Mm, thank you, Tongtong!" Ye Chen propped himself up, sitting briefly though somewhat strenuously, at least he could move now. He leaned against the bedhead, taking a deep breath, "After so many days of sleep, my whole body feels like it’s falling apart."
