Next day.
Wednesday morning. Dong Xuebing drove into Guang Ming Subdistrict.
“Director.”
“Good morning, Director.”
“Director Dong.”
The staff greeted Dong Xuebing the moment he stepped in. Everyone is impressed by him. Director Dong dares to drive an expansive car that is worth over a million and can fight dozens of people at once. He even snatched Ping An Subdistrict’s National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit nomination. These are all amazing feats, and even Geng Faction’s staff respected him.
Dong Xuebing returns the greetings by nodding to them.
“Good morning, Director.” Zhou Yanru had just arrived and was locking her bicycle.
“Good morning, Director Zhou.” Dong Xuebing smiles. “Oh, how is the progress?”
Zhou Yanru took her bag out from her bicycle basket and entered the building with Dong Xuebing. “It’s proceeding smoothly. I heard the Inspection Team is inspecting the last nominee in our Province, and I think the results will be out these few days.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Try to have more interactions with the Inspection Team before they return to the Central Government.”
“Ok.” Zhou Yanru replied. “I have some documents that require your approval. Shall I bring it to your office later?”
“Is there anything else?”
“No… Oh, Guo Mingfeng had applied for sick leave today.”
“Ok.”
Work Party Secretary Office.
Dong Xuebing starts to go through the pile of documents. He had skipped work for one day, and his work had piled up. All the documents required his signature, and he got to read every word carefully.
Five minutes….
Ten minutes…..
Half an hour…..
Knock, knock…. The Subdistrict Office Director doesn’t have secretaries, and Sister Zhou is acting as Dong Xuebing’s secretary. Everyone in the Subdistrict Office knows they are close, and they would go to her if they could not find Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing looks at her. “What is it?”
Zhou Yanru replied curiously. “A few Police Officers from the Public Security Branch are looking for you.”
“City’s Public Security Branch?” Dong Xuebing frowned. “Nan Shan District’s City’s Public Security Branch?”
“I think they are from Public Order Department.”
Dong Xuebing knew this was because of last night’s incident. “Alright. Let them in.”
After a while, a few Police Officers entered Dong Xuebing’s office. The Team Leader is a man around thirty years old. He asked emotionlessly. “Are you Dong Xuebing, Director Dong?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “What is this regarding?”
“We are investigating a case.”
“Oh? Have a seat.” Dong Xuebing said to Zhou Yanru. “Director Zhou, can you help me get a few cups of water for these Officers?”
Zhou Yanru looked at the Officers, and the Team Leader waved his hand. “No thanks. We are going off after asking some questions. Director Dong, where were you last night, around 8 pm?” One of the Officers took out a notebook.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. “8 pm? I should be on my way home in Guang Ming Subdistrict.”
The Officer nodded and asked. “Is the black Porsche Cayenne, with Beijing’s registration plate, your car?”
Dong Xuebing nodded.
The two Officers, standing behind, exchanged looks. They had guessed it. The registration plate number is too scary, and which Subdistrict Office’s Director dares to drive such an expensive car to work? No civil servants in Hebei Province dare to do this!
The Officer paused for a second and continued. “We have received a complaint from a guy named Xue Xiaoliang his morning. He said he was assaulted in Guang Ming East Street. We met him in Second People’s Hospital earlier, and he is seriously injured. He suffered multiple fractures. Director Dong, can you tell us what happened yesterday?”
Xue Xiaoliang?
Zhou Yanru was shocked when she heard this name.
Dong Xuebing notices Zhou Yanru’s reaction and looks at the Officer. “I passed by Guang Ming Street last night and saw our Subdistrict Office’s Deputy Director Guo Mingfeng arguing with a young man. That young man had almost knocked into him while driving. Instead of apologizing, that young man hit Director Guo end even took out an extendable baton from his car. I immediately went over to stop him. I tried to disarm him by twisting his arm, but he refused to stop. He even wanted to hit me with the baton, and I was forced to kick him. I had hit him twice.”
The Officer asked. “Are there other witnesses?”
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. “Other than Director Guo, there is no one around.”
The Officer asked about other details before saying. “Thank you for your cooperation, Director Dong.”
“Haha… no problem.” Dong Xuebing looks at the Officer. “But why is the District Public Security Branch’s Public Order investigating this case? Why is it not handled by the Police Station?”
The Officer smiled and did not reply. He asked Zhou Yanru if Guo Mingfeng was in the Subdistrict Office. The Officers left after they heard Guo Mingfeng is not working today.
The door closed.
Dong Xuebing felt something was wrong and asked. “Sister Zhou, you know this person, Zhou Xiaoliang?”
Zhou Yanru smiled wearily. “I remember the Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong has a son named Xue Xiaoliang. But I am not sure if he is the one.”
Xue Qingrong’s son?!
Dong Xuebing was surprised. “How does he look like?”
Zhou Yanru lowered her voice. “I have not met him before. Do you want me to ask around?”
A while later, Zhou Yanru informed Dong Xuebing that the young man he had beaten up last night was the District Party Committee Member and Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong’s only son!
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. This is a coincidence. If he knows that the District Leader’s relative is the young man, he will not go all out.
Fine… I had offended another Leader again!
However, Dong Xuebing is not worried. This is not the first time he beats up a Leader’s relative, and he was defending himself last night. No one can say anything about this.
