Liu Zhizhong felt it wasn't right for a moment, so he brought up the topic of medical parole.
But Ma Xudong was very determined. He said it wasn't necessary; rather than undergoing surgery and compromising his physical integrity, he preferred to endure less pain. If he really couldn't bear it in the future, the prison would specially arrange for Du Lengding's treatment.
Of course, he also asked about Ma Qingqing, and if her school was about to go on summer vacation?
Liu Zhizhong said yes, her academic exams were demanding, and she would visit after the vacation. There'd been a message from a senior leader, and they could visit him anytime in the future.
Ma Xudong was quite pleased and said it was progress. "You're doing well, Zhizhong; I wasn't wrong about you. Keep it up! I won't ask who the senior leader is. Gotta protect our connections, haha!"
Indeed, as one involved in officialdom, he was quite nuanced.
