Chapter 2922 Li Jing's Child

"Call Li Jing over tonight, bring the kids, and let's go to Yu Na's for dinner. She's asked me many times, and I can't refuse," Qin Feng said as he drove.

Qin Feng and Yu Na had always kept in touch. Yu Na's business was growing bigger and bigger. Qin Feng had previously owned shares in her restaurant, which he had put in charge of. Later, Qin Feng insisted on withdrawing, but Yu Na wouldn't allow it. In the end, Qin Feng let Li Jing take over, and he completely withdrew.

Yu Na told Qin Feng to make sure he saw her when he returned to Zhongjiang, so Qin Feng sent Yu Na a message before boarding the plane. Yu Na happened to be in Zhongjiang and told Qin Feng that she would make arrangements for the evening.

“Li Jing… probably can’t make it,” Zhou Qian said.

"why?"

She is in Shanghai.

"Still in Shanghai? It's been half a year, how come she's still in Shanghai? Isn't her business all in Jiangnan Province? Is she still there treating her son's illness?" Qin Feng wondered.

Xiao Jian'an had mentioned Li Jing's situation in Shanghai to Qin Feng before. Later, Qin Feng also asked Zhou Qian about it on the phone. Zhou Qian also said that Li Jing was in Shanghai taking her son to get medical treatment. However, Qin Feng did not expect that it had been half a year and Li Jing was still in Shanghai.

At the time, Qin Feng asked Zhou Qian what illness Li Jing's son had. Zhou Qian said it was a minor illness. Qin Feng felt something was strange at that time. Why would they go to Shanghai specifically for treatment of a minor illness?

Later, Qin Feng also called Li Jing to ask about it. Li Jing said the same thing as Zhou Qian, only saying that it was a minor illness and that it had already been cured.

Since Li Jing said that, Qin Feng didn't pay much attention. He rarely contacted Li Jing anyway. In the past six months, he had only called her once and chatted with her a few times on WeChat. Li Jing would always take the initiative to ask how he was doing, and he would just give her a simple greeting.

"Yes, that should be the case." Zhou Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Is it really a minor illness? Is it really necessary to go all the way to Shanghai for treatment? Our Zhongjiang has one of the best medical facilities in the country, yet she's been in Shanghai for so long, more than half a year now," Qin Feng asked.

Zhou Qian hesitated again, then said, "She has settled down in Shanghai now, and she probably won't be returning to Zhongjiang anytime soon."

"Why? What exactly happened?" Qin Feng asked.

“His son has leukemia, not a minor illness,” Zhou Qian said.

"Leukemia?" Qin Feng's eyes widened.

"It's called acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and it's a disease that's common in children."

"Is it... serious?" Qin Feng asked, even though he knew it was a pointless question. What leukemia isn't serious?

“I’ve been undergoing chemotherapy, but that’s just a conservative treatment. If the chemotherapy doesn’t work, there’s only one option left: a bone marrow transplant. And there’s a high probability that we’ll end up with that.”

"She went to Shanghai because the hospital there is the best in the country for this kind of treatment. Now she is accompanying her son through chemotherapy while waiting for a suitable bone marrow match to appear so she can have a transplant," Zhou Qian said.

"Why didn't you tell me this all this time?"

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but she won’t let me. She said that you’re working so hard and in such danger over there, and that I shouldn’t let these things bother you. Besides, you’re not a doctor, so telling you won’t do any good.”

“Not only did she not tell you, she kept it from me from the very beginning. At first, she only told me that she was taking the child to Shanghai for a while, then she said that she met some friends there and would stay longer, and finally she said that she was going to inspect a few projects there. In the end, it took too long before she told me that the child was sick and was being treated at a hospital there, but she only said that it was a minor illness.”

“At first I didn’t notice anything wrong, but as time went on, I started to feel strange. I happened to be on a business trip to Shanghai, so I went to see her. I even got to the hospital, and she couldn’t lie to me anymore, so she told me the truth. Later, I went to see a doctor, who confirmed that this was the case.”

"I've tried everything I can think of, but this is the disease, and there's nothing anyone can do. We can only wait and see how effective the chemotherapy is and find a suitable bone marrow match," Zhou Qian sighed.

Qin Feng was in a great mood when he returned today, but he became very depressed after hearing about this. Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings, especially towards Li Jing?

Qin Feng no longer hates Li Jing. At this age, all the romantic entanglements of his youth are now just memories. He now considers Li Jing a friend, a good friend, and an old friend.

In recent years, Li Jing has helped him a great deal. Although they don't keep in close contact, Qin Feng still cares about Li Jing.

Now that he's heard about the terrible thing that happened to Li Jing and her son, how can he remain calm?

"Is she taking care of the child alone in Shanghai?" Qin Feng asked.

"Who else could it be? You know she cut ties with her family a long time ago and hasn't had any contact with them for years. At this point, it's even less likely that her family would come to take care of her and her child, and she wouldn't let them come either. Besides, she doesn't have any other friends around her."

"Now she has handed over the entire company to Li Li to manage, and she is wholeheartedly taking care of her son in Shanghai. Sigh, I hope this child will have a good outcome, he is such a lovely child." Zhou Qian sighed again.

Qin Feng remained silent and continued driving towards his daughter's school. The two of them remained silent and did not speak again.

That evening, Qin Feng met Yu Na as promised. There was no one else around, and the two old friends sat there drinking and chatting. During the conversation, Yu Na talked about her business, and then she told Qin Feng something: Chen Wuning had been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for more than a month.

Qin Feng was very surprised to hear this. Chen Wuning was the deputy secretary of the Dongyang Municipal Party Committee. How could he be taken away so easily? Moreover, in Qin Feng's impression, Chen Wuning did not seem like a corrupt person.

Yu Na told Qin Feng that the Discipline Inspection Commission had indeed found some problems with Chen Wuning, but they were all previous issues.

At this point, Qin Feng understood what was going on. In the end, it was still a struggle over rectification, and clearly, Chen Wuning had lost.

Moreover, Qin Feng roughly understood who this person was; it was most likely Huang Ming, the Party Secretary of Dongyang City.

Although Qin Feng was a long way from the political situation in Dongyang, he still heard some rumors. He had heard before that there were many conflicts and fierce struggles in the political situation in Dongyang. Now that he saw it, it was not surprising that Chen Wuning was taken in.

Chen Wuning's connections at higher levels were not deep. He was able to get to this position because Qin Feng recommended him to Zhao Hongjian, who was then the Minister of Organization of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee. After Qin Feng left Jiangnan Province and Zhao Hongjian also left, Chen Wuning lost all his support. Coupled with his tense relationship with Huang Ming, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it is not surprising that he ended up like this.

Qin Feng knew Chen Wuning very well. He certainly didn't have any major issues of principle, but because he originally came from Xinlian County, he had a rough and unrefined personality and was very carefree. He had many bad habits, and if someone seized on these and made a big deal out of it, he would be in a very passive position.

Chen Wuning is clearly in this situation now.
