The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 610 - 610 Traffic Accident

The difficulty of grassroots work lies in doing the ideological work of the villagers, which is also what village cadres are best at.
However, that's usually the case. Now, with such a big incident involving personal interests, the difficulty of this ideological work has suddenly increased.
Lin Hao had been busy here until dinner time, and was treated to a simple meal at the village committee by Secretary Ruan and Director Jiang.
Though it wasn't luxurious, it was all local chickens and ducks raised by farmers, and vegetables grown by the farmers themselves, offering a unique flavor.
Accompanied by Secretary Ruan and Director Jiang, Lin Hao had a drink with them, which helped to bridge the gap and make them more acquainted.
After dinner, Lin Hao drove Lu Xiaodan home, and the car soon stopped downstairs in her community.
"County Magistrate Lin, my parents are out traveling. Do you want to come up for a bit?" Lu Xiaodan invited.
"They really went traveling?" Lin Hao was overjoyed.
"Yes, they left today and will be gone for three days." Lu Xiaodan replied.
"Alright, then I'll come up for a bit." Lin Hao felt that tonight's opportunity had arrived.
Just as he was about to go upstairs with the beauty, the phone rang. It was Li Jingyi calling.
"Lin Hao, where are you?" Li Jingyi's voice was very low.
"On my way home. Did something happen?" Lin Hao felt a sudden chill in his heart.
"Yes, County Magistrate Wei had a car accident and has been taken to the hospital." Li Jingyi replied in a deep voice.
"What? A car accident? Is the situation serious?" Lin Hao was shocked.
"The situation is unclear. I'm on my way there. You should come too." Li Jingyi said.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Lin Hao said and hung up the phone.
Standing beside him, Lu Xiaodan, hearing about the car accident, curiously asked, "Who had a car accident?"
"County Magistrate Wei had a car accident. I'm going to check on it. You should go home and rest well." Lin Hao replied loudly.
"Shall I go with you?" Lu Xiaodan asked.
"No need. It's already after work hours, and if you come with me, Secretary Li might ask why we're still together. How would you explain that?" Lin Hao refused.
Lu Xiaodan also felt that it wouldn't be appropriate to go with him, and finally nodded, "Alright then, you drive safely."
"Got it, I'll make it up to you another day." Lin Hao turned and left.
...
Wucheng County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After the car accident, County Magistrate Wei had already been sent into the operating room for rescue.
Li Jingyi and several county leaders, as well as Liu Tingting from the county committee office and Zheng Yanbo from the government office, were anxiously waiting at the emergency room door. Upon seeing Lin Hao arrive, they all turned their heads to look at him.
"Secretary Li, how's the situation?" Lin Hao walked over slowly and asked in a deep voice.
"Not too good. It's said that there's been a lot of blood loss, and the doctors are doing their best to save him." Li Jingyi replied with a grim face.
"How did the car accident happen?" Lin Hao asked.
"It seems the car brakes failed, crashing into a barrier on the highway, and the driver died on the spot…" Li Jingyi succinctly explained the situation.
Today, the city had notified to hold an emergency flood and disaster prevention meeting, and originally, Li Jingyi was supposed to attend. However, due to a last-minute issue, she arranged for County Magistrate Wei to attend instead.
What no one expected was that County Magistrate Wei had just gotten on the highway in an official car when the brakes failed, crashing straight into a barrier.
In other words, if Li Jingyi had been in the car to attend the meeting, she might be the one lying in the emergency room now.
"How could the brakes fail? Our official cars are regularly inspected and maintained, right?" Lin Hao was puzzled.
"Alright, now's not the time to chase after car issues…" Li Jingyi interrupted him and gave him a significant look.
Although a bit confused, Lin Hao did not pursue the matter further, noticing that her expression was noticeably off.
At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and a doctor came out.
"Doctor, how is it?" Li Jingyi and the others immediately surrounded him.
"Secretary Li, we… we did our best… but… County Magistrate Wei lost too much blood… he's gone!"
The doctor's words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving everyone in a daze, frozen in place.
After the doctors and nurses left, Li Jingyi and the others finally snapped back to reality.
"Lin Hao, have the government office immediately arrange for County Magistrate Wei's funeral. I will call his family." Li Jingyi left with a grim face.
Lin Hao looked at Zheng Yanbo, the director of the government office, and instructed, "Director Zheng, I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
"Understood." Zhang Yanbo replied.
"Alright, everyone can disperse." Lin Hao waved to the crowd, indicating they could leave now that the body had been taken care of.
After receiving the order, everyone scattered, and the emergency room corridor instantly became cold and quiet.
After making the call, Li Jingyi saw Lin Hao come out, gestured for him to follow her to the car.
Neither spoke, and Lin Hao didn't ask anything, maintaining silence.
Lin Hao dropped her off at Building No. 2 and entered the room with her, finally unable to hold back any longer.
"What's going on? How could there suddenly be a car accident?" Lin Hao asked in a deep voice.
Li Jingyi plopped onto the sofa and closed her eyes, thinking for a full five seconds before speaking, "County Magistrate Wei went to die in my place!"
"What? Went to die in your place?" Lin Hao was shocked beyond words.
"Originally, it was me who the city committee wanted to attend the meeting. I wasn't feeling well, so I had County Magistrate Wei go to the city for me, but his driver was on leave, so I had him take my car..." Li Jingyi explained.
Lin Hao suddenly realized that the car involved in the accident was her official car, meaning if Li Jingyi had gone to the meeting, she would be dead now.
"Does anyone else know about this?" Lin Hao asked in a deep voice.
"No one knows." Li Jingyi shook her head like a deflated balloon.
"Then don't mention it for now." Lin Hao advised.
"Actually, my official car was always in good condition, how could the brakes suddenly fail?" Li Jingyi muttered to herself.
Lin Hao knew very well how official cars were managed. As secretary, Li Jingyi's car was indeed in the best condition, so how could the brakes suddenly fail?
A terrifying suspicion dawned on him, lighting up his eyes but sending chills down his spine.
"Are you suggesting someone tampered with it?" Lin Hao asked coldly.
"It's just my guess, but the car is now a wreck, making it hard to find anything on it." Li Jingyi frowned.
"Where's the car now?" Lin Hao asked.
"I don't know. Probably need to ask the highway traffic police." Li Jingyi shook her head.
"I'll go investigate." Lin Hao said and turned to leave, rushing to the highway traffic police station.
Since the accident happened on the highway, the highway police were the first to arrive at the scene, and it's likely they towed the wrecked car.
But where exactly is the wrecked official car now?
