As the car that sent Xu Changping away disappeared into the night, Minister Guo turned around and said to Secretary Sun who was standing behind him, "Come with me to the study."

If possible, he didn't want to keep Secretary Sun, who had been busy all day, so late at night. However, what Xu Changping said just now forced him to ask what happened during this trip to Suzhou overnight.

After hearing Minister Guo's instructions, Secretary Sun did not say anything, but with a barely perceptible nervousness on his face, he silently followed him into the study.

To be honest, he was confused by many of Xu Changping's actions during this trip.

In the study, Minister Guo sat behind a large desk with a frown on his face. He waved to Secretary Sun who was standing in front of the desk and said, "Sit down and talk."

Secretary Sun put away his thoughts, frowned, obeyed the instructions, and sat on the chair opposite the desk.

"Director Guo," Secretary Sun said in a low and steady voice, "The situation during this trip to Suzhou was more complicated than we expected."

Director Guo raised his head and shot a sharp look at the other party: "Tell me in detail."

Secretary Sun took a deep breath and began to narrate: "Logically, there should be someone accompanying Comrade Guo in the hospital, but when we went there, no one was guarding the ward.

The people who picked us up at the station dropped us off at the hospital. Except for one person who came to deliver lunch at noon, no one else showed up. I suspect Comrade Guo’s current situation has something to do with them.”

Minister Guo picked up the cigarette at hand, lit it, took a deep breath and said, "Go on, tell me what Xu Changping did."

Secretary Sun said with a confused look on his face: "As soon as Xu Changping arrived at the hospital, he unilaterally blocked other people from contacting Comrade Guo, and then we brought Comrade Guo back when the time came."

Minister Guo recalled Xu Changping's words and asked, "Xu Changping said that you gave him a case file bag after you arrived at the hospital, right?"

When this topic was mentioned, Secretary Sun replied with a somewhat strange expression on his face: "Yes! But he opened it and threw it back to me without even looking at it." This was also something he didn't understand. He didn't know why Xu Changping did this, and even suspected that he did this to highlight his medical skills.

Minister Guo's expression turned serious: "Did you bring back the case?"

"No...no! If he doesn't want to see me, I'll just give him back to the doctor!" Secretary Sun was shocked by Minister Guo's sudden reaction.

Could it be that there was some secret in that file bag? If he had known, he would not have returned it. He could have sold it to the minister.

Minister Guo did not embarrass Secretary Sun. After all, there was nothing wrong with returning the case to the hospital for filing. However, he still frowned and asked, "Do you remember who gave you the file bag?"

Secretary Sun replied casually: "He's just a doctor from the hospital." Just as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!

Secretary Sun suddenly felt as if his head had been hit hard. A wave of severe pain surged over him like a tide, causing him to scream miserably involuntarily - "Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, beads of sweat quickly covered his forehead.

At the same time, his originally rosy face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless, and he looked extremely weak and shaky.

Minister Guo was stunned by the sudden change in front of him. He had never expected such a situation to happen. He didn't have time to think about it. He stood up from his chair and rushed to where Secretary Sun was.

With one hand, he steadily supported Secretary Sun, who was about to collapse to the ground, and then shouted anxiously: "Secretary Sun! Secretary Sun! Xiao Sun...what's wrong with you?"

Just as Minister Guo was about to put the man down and go out to call the driver to take him to the hospital, Secretary Sun slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and said weakly, "I'm fine. I don't know what happened just now. My head suddenly hurt."

With the help of Minister Guo, Secretary Sun reluctantly sat back in his chair.

Minister Guo's gaze lingered on Secretary Sun's pale face for a moment. After confirming that he would not faint again, he turned and left the study.

As soon as he went out, he saw the driver who had just returned from sending Xu Changping back. He immediately ordered, "Go and start the car. Secretary Sun has a problem and needs to go to the hospital."

As soon as the driver stood up, he heard Secretary Sun's weak voice: "Minister, no need, I just need to go home and rest for a while."

"How can this be? You should go to the hospital for a check-up in your condition." Minister Guo did not expect Secretary Sun to follow him out, so he immediately turned around and said angrily.

The driver was also shocked when he saw Secretary Sun's appearance. How could this person, who was just fine a moment ago, suddenly become like this?

Secretary Sun forced a smile and tried to reassure Minister Guo, "Minister Guo, I'm really fine. It may be because I didn't get enough rest. I will be fine after a rest."

Minister Guo sighed. He knew that Secretary Sun meant well. After all, for such a good person to suddenly become like this in his own home, who knows how it would spread if the news got out.

He walked over to Secretary Sun and patted his shoulder gently: "Are you sure you're okay? If you can't hold on, you must go to the hospital. I don't care about the gossip outside."

Secretary Sun quickly stood up and said, "Minister, I'm sure everything is fine."

He is a soldier under Minister Guo. He will only be well if Minister Guo is well. If anything happens to Minister Guo, he will be in trouble too.

Seeing how confident he was, Minister Guo agreed to his request, but still suggested: "Don't go back to the dormitory tonight. Stay at home with Xiao Zhang. If anything happens in the middle of the night, there will be someone to help."

Secretary Sun's home is in another city. After starting to work with him, she has been living in a single dormitory.

When Xiao Zhang heard that the two had finished their conversation, he immediately walked over and supported Secretary Sun to the guest room where he usually stayed.

After all, he was Minister Guo's full-time driver, and sometimes he would stay overnight at his house when it was too late. Since Minister Guo had already said that he wanted to look after Secretary Sun, he didn't bother to find a guest room for Secretary Sun.

"Minister Guo, I'll go and rest first." Secretary Sun's voice was weak but still polite.

Minister Guo nodded and watched Secretary Sun and Xiao Zhang return to the guest room.

He closed the door and returned to his desk, but he couldn't calm down. Secretary Sun's sudden discomfort made him realize that the situation they were facing might be more serious than he thought.

And what happened to his daughter was not as simple as he had initially imagined.
