He had indeed paid less attention to the situation inside the hospital room after entering.
For him, he hadn’t felt that today’s situations were a big issue. In fact, before arriving, he didn’t even know he would encounter Zhang Ming. Lin Chang, the company commander, hadn’t told him what exactly the task entailed when they set off for the hospital.
In the orders he received, it was only about going to the hospital to assist Gan Quancai in picking up someone, but Gan Quancai had not clearly told them who exactly it would be.
Although Lin Chang himself was curious about why Gan Quancai, being a deputy company commander, still needed their help to pick someone up, after receiving the orders, Lin Chang didn’t think much about it.
However, when he saw Zhang Ming blocking his way, Lin Chang suddenly realized that today’s situation was not so simple, and naturally, he felt some dissatisfaction with Gan Quancai for not clarifying the situation; not to mention, Lin Chang never really liked Gan Quancai personally.
Nevertheless, even if Lin Chang didn’t like Gan Quancai, he still had to complete his mission.
"I am Lin Chang, a guard of Colonel Luan Zhan from the Northern District’s 37th Regiment,"
Lin Chang firstly introduced himself to Zhang Ming. After fumbling in his pocket, he pulled out a document and handed it to Zhang Ming, then continued, "I am really sorry, Commissar Zhang, we have an order here that involves handling some confidential matters related to Rong Fang. Therefore, we must take him away."
While speaking to Zhang Ming, there was a faint smile on Lin Chang’s face, his posture erect. Even though he was a military man and obviously held a significant rank, Lin Chang and his men showed no trace of disrespect. When he spoke to Zhang Ming, he was neither cringing nor arrogant.
Yet, his tone of voice was exceptionally firm.
Upon hearing Lin Chang’s introduction, Zhang Ming couldn’t help but furrow his brows sharply. The next moment, an even bitterer smile appeared on Zhang Ming’s face as if upon hearing Lin Chang’s details, he no longer had the mindset to resist.
"Hmph! You dare to obstruct a guard of Colonel Luan, Commissar Zhang. Are you perhaps confused?"
Seeing the situation unfold before him, Gan Quancai’s face revealed a sneering smile, looking at Zhang Ming and laughing derisively.
Upon hearing Gan Quancai’s words, Zhang Ming squinted his eyes even more sharply, a look of surprise flashing across his face, and then, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh again.
From the moment he saw these military men appear, Zhang Ming had felt that these servicemen were not simple, but he had not entirely anticipated the profoundness of their backgrounds.
No wonder they could directly head out under Luan Zhan’s command. Serving under Luan Zhan was already a matter of great pride, not to mention that Lin Chang, standing before him, was even Luan Zhan’s personal guard.
Zhang Ming turned his head to look at Xiao Yifei, his face filled with a helpless bitter smile, yet also fraught with complex emotions.
Clearly, even though Zhang Ming now had some understanding of the situation through Rong Fang and was filled with anger at Gan Quancai’s earlier behavior, the reality was, upon hearing the scornful words Gan Quancai had spat at him, Zhang Ming truly felt that there was no way to salvage the situation.
Even though they stood on the side of justice, even though they clearly knew what had happened, when faced with the current situation, there was no longer any possibility of salvaging it.
Not to mention the document that Lin Chang had just passed to him, the mere name Luan Zhan alone was enough to explain everything.
Zhang Ming stood there, his eyes somewhat vacant. Suddenly, he felt as if he had lost all strength in his body. For him, if Gan Quancai and their backers were indeed linked with Luan Zhan, then Zhang Ming really did not know if there was still any meaning in what he had always been seeking.
Moreover, Zhang Ming’s heart was filled with doubts. If all this was instigated by Luan Zhan, then why would they still choose to use those petty tactics? If Luan Zhan truly wanted to set him up, wouldn’t it just be a matter of saying a word?
And most crucially, Zhang Ming simply could not understand what Luan Zhan’s purpose was in targeting him. Although Zhang Ming felt that, as the sheriff, he had some power at his disposal, he clearly knew he was nothing in front of Luan Zhan.
Seeing Zhang Ming’s current state, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but slightly narrow his eyes. Although he was unclear about who Luan Zhan was, from Zhang Ming’s reaction, Xiao Yifei could judge that this person named Luan Zhan must indeed be someone significant.
It wasn’t just Xiao Yifei; in the hospital room, An Xin and the young nurse also realized that things were not quite as they had expected. Although they were unclear about what exactly was going on, they did not approve of Gan Quancai’s actions. However, it seemed like the impending event clearly indicated that Gan Quancai was likely to succeed?
At the moment, Gan Quancai’s still swollen face wore a smirk filled with smugness, and his eyes twinkled with a cold gleam.
Actually, whether it was Zhang Ming or Gan Quancai, even though each held some power in their hands, in reality, they were also ordinary people, especially Gan Quancai, who had been full of anger until he saw Lin Chang, and he finally saw his backer.
Although Lin Chang’s military rank was not high, the implication behind Lin Chang was not so simple.
Even though it was always said that government officials had no connections with Huaxia authorities, in reality, once someone’s official position reached a certain level, the influence they could wield was simply beyond the capacity of the likes of Zhang Ming and Gan Quancai to change.
However, at that moment, perhaps because Gan Quancai had said too much, which displeased Lin Chang, right after Gan Quancai opened his mouth intending to say something more humiliating to Zhang Ming, Lin Chang turned his head, his eyebrows furrowed, and slightly annoyed, he asked Gan Quancai, "Is there anything else you have?"
Upon hearing Lin Chang’s words, Gan Quancai was suddenly stunned on the spot. He turned his head, looked at Lin Chang, and his face was full of embarrassed expression.
With Gan Quancai’s quick thinking, he had clearly understood the meaning of Lin Chang’s words the instant they were spoken, but it was a situation that Gan Quancai, who had just felt humiliated, simply could not accept for a while.
But the issue was, when facing Lin Chang, Gan Quancai also clearly knew that without Lin Chang, he definitely could not have handled today’s incident by himself.
In the end, Gan Quancai reluctantly closed his mouth. However, when Gan Quancai looked up at Xiao Yifei, his eyes were filled with a sinister hatred.
And concerning today’s incident, he must take Rong Fang away. Now that they had torn their faces, Gan Quancai knew that there would be many opportunities to deal with it in the future, and as long as he took Rong Fang away, he would have numerous ways to slowly settle accounts with Zhang Ming.
