In the corridor outside the emergency room, Zhao Yuexue squatted on the ground, unable to stop sobbing, while Zheng Yuanhao and others had red-rimmed eyes, gritting their teeth and bowing their heads in silence. Grief was spreading rampantly, swiftly infiltrating every corner of the corridor.
Even though Wang Yu's heart-wrenching cry had revealed his relationship with Wang Min, no one cared about that at the moment. What they cared about was that Wang Min, the first female official of Niao City and a good officer to the people and the state, had her life mercilessly taken away by a cruel car accident on her way to a meeting in the provincial city, gone forever.
Wang Min's departure brought sorrow not only to her son, Wang Yu, but also to every official present.
"Thump, thump, thump."
The corridor was again filled with a chaotic and hasty sound of footsteps as a large group of young men and women hastened towards the emergency room.
