A few black cars belonging to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the inspection team successively arrived at the hospital gate. Upon seeing the crowd of students gathered there, Liu Lan's brows furrowed, but after glancing at Yang Dingsheng, the leader of the provincial supervision team standing by his side, he didn't say anything.

Before heading upstairs, he turned around to glance at the樟樹 outside the hospital door one more time. Last year, he had come to console an old secretary-general at the First People's Hospital, and that old secretary-general also passed away not long ago due to illness. Recalling those times when he was surrounded by a group of people in glory, seeing the satisfaction in the eyes of his old secretary-general who had nurtured him from scratch, since taking office in Xiahai City, reviewing his own resolute style, although it might have been too strong-handed at times, it did indeed produce tangible achievements.

This is a big deal; a national key high school has encountered such a significant issue, and it will tarnish the reputation of the entire leadership in Xiashi City. Hong Xiaotian's desperate move has chilled Liu Lan to his core—he had underestimated Hong Xiaotian all along. This mayor from Jiangsu and Zhejiang possesses ambitions comparable to those of the Northern Wolf Clans.
