"Is there someone there?" Bai Yongnian asked calmly.
Chen Bo was stunned, then looked at the door, glanced at it, and said: "The two people in the prison are in the small room at the end of the corridor. You are like this, can you still run away? I will ask my sister-in-law to arrange for them to leave." I'll be responsible for whatever happens."
But Chen Bo thought again, nodded and said, "There was indeed someone at the door just now, but when I went out, the figure flashed and disappeared."
Bai Yongnian nodded and said, "Oh, it's been so many years, and there are still people who are still thinking about it."
Chen Bo was stunned and asked: "What do you mean? Who is worried about something?"
Bai Yongnian shook his head and said, "It's nothing to talk about. It's been so many years. If he were still alive, he would be over seventy by now..."
When Bai Yongnian said this, his eyes suddenly brightened up. Chen Bo was stunned. Then Bai Yongnian struggled to sit up, so Chen Bo ran to the end of the bed and shook the front half of the bed so that Bai Yongnian could sit more comfortably. .
Maybe he felt that he was on the operating table and might not be able to get off, so there were some things he wanted to say.
"We are all guilty people. I am in jail and he is gone. I still don't know whether he is alive or dead. At our age, our health is getting worse every year..."
At the beginning, Chen Bo was so frightened that he thought Bai Yongnian was going to die, but his attitude and spirit were like a flashback.
Humans are really amazing animals. When a person is about to die, his body is like the last thrust of a rocket, supplying all the energy to the neurons of the brain. At this time, the person is extremely awake, and it feels like I felt much better all of a sudden, but this was the end of my strength.
"Are you okay? How about I call the doctor..." Chen Bo stood up in a hurry and asked.
"Sit down, I'm fine. It's not time for surgery yet. I'll be safest now. It's hard to say when I'm on the operating table." Bai Yongnian said with a bitter smile.
Before his recovery, Chen Bo never cared about politics.
It was only after I was demobilized that I went to work in a prison and watched the news broadcast with the prisoners every day, so I learned a lot about the news.
But he has long forgotten what happened in Donghai Province ten years ago.
He was only a teenager at that time, and he was even more ignorant about political matters. He didn't understand, had no interest, and didn't care.
But what Bai Yongnian told him was still a bit unexpected.
Chen Bo knew that Bai Yongnian was once the First Secretary of Donghai Province and the secretary of Xiang Xingguo, the then Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He was basically equivalent to the No. 2 chief. Every day, there are countless people waiting to curry favor with him and want to pass He fawned over Xiang Xingguo, but some things really couldn't reach Xiang Xingguo's level, so Bai Yongnian just said hello and it was done.
That was Bai Yongnian's most proud and glorious moment, but a few years later, Xiang Xingguo mysteriously disappeared. Various signs showed that he fled abroad, but this man disappeared without a trace after going abroad. It's like a drop of water dropped into the Pacific Ocean, leaving no trace.
As a secretary, Bai Yongnian was immediately controlled and interrogated for three years. However, he told everything he knew, but he had no information about where Xiang Xingguo went, and he didn't know either. Why did Xiang Xingguo suddenly run away?
It became clear later that Xiang Xingguo had been preparing to flee for so many years. In all the places where he worked, he interacted with local wealthy people, sought rent through power, and made a lot of money. However, these things were obtained When in front of Bai Yongnian, he said that he had never known or seen it.
Of course, that's what he and Chen Bo said at this time. As for whether it was true or false, Chen Bo didn't know.
"So, they think you know Xiang Xingguo's whereabouts, so people keep looking for you?" Chen Bo asked with a frown.
"Yes, during the first few years in prison, I still had to cooperate with the investigation, but I really don't know where Xiang Xingguo went, where he is now, or even whether he is alive or dead," Bai Yongnian said.
Chen Bo looked outside the door and asked, "Do you think the people outside the door do the same?"
"Roughly the same……"
Before Bai Yongnian finished speaking, the door was pushed open. The first ones were two prison guards on duty here. The other two were unknown to Chen Bo and had never seen them before.
After Bai Yongnian saw them, his body seemed to be deflated, and he seemed to relax a lot.
"I don't know if there are any millet porridge shops selling millet porridge at this time. Buy me a bowl." Bai Yongnian looked at Chen Bo and said.
Chen Bo was neither a family member nor a prison guard, so the two people behind him ignored him and walked directly towards Bai Yongnian.
Chen Bo looked at the two prison guards he knew. They winked at Chen Bo. One of them stopped halfway and waved to Chen Bo.
Chen Bo walked over and whispered: "Brother Chen, the most prolific person, let's go out and talk."
Chen Bo knew that these two people were not here to take Bai Yongnian away. With his current physical condition, he could not withstand the long journey.
"This person has always been our key target. This time he was hospitalized for surgery. The prison reported it to each level and they came here. Let's go and come back later. I guess I won't sleep well tonight."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to buy him some millet porridge. I'll come back to you later. By the way, do you still have cigarettes? I'll bring you some." Chen Bo asked.
After leaving the hospital building, Chen Bo immediately called Luo Yang and explained the situation here.
Luo Yang was in a meeting and said he would come over immediately after the meeting and asked Chen Bo to stay in the hospital and not go anywhere.
When Chen Bo returned to the ward again, he saw Bai Yongnian talking to two people from the Supreme People's Procuratorate through the glass on the door. One was asking questions, and the other was typing on his laptop.
From the outside, Bai Yongnian seemed to be in good spirits, but the faces of the two people at the top of the inspection were very ugly. They always had a straight face, as if they would not give up until something came out of the review today.
"You have asked me many times about the things you want to ask. I don't know if I can come down to the operating table. At this time, if I know those things, can I not tell you?"
"In the past few years, you have also checked that the businessmen, bosses, and officials who are related to Xiang Xingguo have not passed me through their transactions with Xiang Xingguo. I know these people, but the problem is that I did not take them. A penny, you say, when Xiang Xingguo did these things, he was behind my back, he didn't regard me as one of his own, right?" Bai Yongnian said with a bitter smile.
