In the special ward for high-ranking officials at the military hospital, at this moment, inside the suite, Hu Shangzhi lay in bed. By Hu's side were his family members and his secretary stood outside, while a few cadre-like individuals whispered in the hallway.
As Nie Zhenbang and Wang Suzhou stepped into the hospital room, a woman, around the age of fifty and exuding an air of graceful nobility, stood up from beside Hu Shangzhi.
Wang Suzhou began, "Comrade Xiangyu, allow me to introduce Nie Zhenbang from Hongjiang Province. Upon hearing about Old Hu's situation, Comrade Zhenbang specially came to visit."
The news of Nie Zhenbang's transfer to Longxi was, at present, only known to a small circle. Within that core group, it would not be easily divulged. At a lower level, among the national provincial leadership, only Hu Shangzhi and Wang Suzhou were aware of it.
