“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
Commander Xiong’s words shocked his family members and Political Commissar Yan.
All of them did not expect Xiong Liping to lose his temper suddenly.
Political Commissar Yan replied cautiously. “He did not bring his invitation card and only gave me his serial number. I thought he might be an imposter and did not report to you in time.” He was grumbling in his heart. Commander Xiong sent out the invitation cards, yet he did not recognize the person he invited. He also did not ask to be informed when any particular guest arrived. However, Political Commissar Yan is not the Navy’s Political Commissar. He was the Political Commissar of one of the units under Commander Xiong, and he dare not retort.
If your leader says you are wrong, you are in the wrong.
That’s right. Even if you are correct, you are also in the wrong.
“You…” Deputy Commander Xiong points at Political Commissar Yan.
Political Commissar Yan quickly apologize. “I’m sorry, Commander Xiong.”
Commander Xiong did not continue and stood up angrily.
Dong Xuebing was still deadlocked with Liu Haibin, his friends, and their family members. Everyone was targeting him. After all, all of them were from the military and disliked outsiders. Even though they knew it was Liu Haibin and his friends who picked on Dong Xuebing, they still sided with them.
Everyone looked at Commander Xiong when he stood up. They noticed he was looking angry and knew what was going to happen.
Commander Xiong is mad.
He must be angry with Dong Xuebing for disrupting his banquet and forcing Liu Haibin and his friends to drink.
Li Feng noticed Commander Xiong and quickly tapped Dong Xuebing’s feet.
The other Da Feng County Government also reminded Dong Xuebing. “Director Dong, Commander Xiong….”
Dong Xuebing ignored them. He crossed his legs and continued to look at Liu Haibin and his friends. “Are you all going to drink or not?!”
Li Feng was trembling in his heart. This guy is fearless.
Liu Guowei saw Commander Xiong was mad and felt confident. He shouted at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong! Today is Commander Xiong’s banquet! Stop your nonsense!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I will not stop until they drank. I had drunk seven glasses of alcohol, and Xiao Wang had drunk one glass. There are six more left.”
Everyone was speechless and thought to themselves. Can’t you see the situation you are in?!
Dong Xuebing does not care about Commander Xiong or whoever is there. He will pay back ten times or a hundred times to whoever tries to mess with him. He had tolerated Liu Haibin and his father, Liu Guowei, for several days. So what if they fall out now?!!
Commander Xiong looked at Dong Xuebing and walked toward him slowly.
“Commander Xiong is coming.” Li Feng reminded. “Xuebing, can you stop targeting these kids?”
Dong Xuebing glanced at Xiong Liping.
Everyone, including Liu Guowei and Li Feng, thought Commander Xiong would scold Dong Xuebing. When Liu Guowei, Liu Haibin, and his friends gloated, Xiong Liping said something that shocked everyone. His expression changed, and he laughed loudly. “Hahaha…. Xuebing! I have finally met you! You are the same as the rumors.”
Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Commander Xiong?”
Xiong Liping patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “I had heard a lot about you. I was the one who sent that navy vessel to Fu Zhou.”
He was referring to the vessel that went to negotiate with the pirates for the hostages.
Dong Xuebing understood what had happened. “Sorry to have caused trouble that time.”
Xiong Liping waved his hand. “What are you talking about? You are the one who helped us. Oh, how is Huilan?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “She is doing well and is acting like a queen at home. She is several months pregnant and refuses to do anything. I got to serve her every day. Hahaha.”
Xiong Liping laughed. “It’s a husband’s duty to take care of his wife. Alright. Stop sitting here. Join me at my table.”
Dong Xuebing rejected the offer politely. “It’s fine. I can sit here.”
“Are you blaming me for not being a good host?!” Xiong Liping laughed. “No one told me you were here, and I thought you did not come. How can I let my prestigious guest sit here? Come with me. I will introduce my son and daughter to you.”
Dong Xuebing did not reject Xiong Liping’s offer anymore.
Xiong Liping dragged Dong Xuebing to the main table and introduced everyone to him. “This is my son, Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei, you must learn from Xuebing. Although he is much younger than you, he is competent. You should learn from him.”
Dong Xuebing replied modestly. “No… no…. you are flattering me. I am not as good as you think.”
Xiong Liping laughed. “Stop being modest. Who else can drink 4 liters of alcohol?”
Xiong Fei immediately knew his father held Dong Xuebing in high regard. His father had introduced the latter to him in front of everyone, which meant a lot. He immediately stood up. “Nice to meet you, Xuebing. My father had mentioned a lot about you, and I had always wanted to meet you.” This was a lie. Because of the confidential military clause, Commander Xiong had never told him anything about Dong Xuebing. He had only heard of Dong Xuebing’s name at home before and did not know who he was.
Dong Xuebing shook Xiong Fei’s hand and exchanged pleasantries.
Li Feng and his men were stunned. What is going on?
Liu Guowei, Liu Haibin, and the other soldiers were stunned. Isn’t Commander Xiong mad at Dong Xuebing?! Why is he so polite to him?
Liu Guowei’s heart went cold. He did not expect Xiong Liping to treat Dong Xuebing so politely.
Many military officers exchanged looks when they saw Deputy Commander Xiong pulling Dong Xuebing to the main table.
Who is this guy?
Why is Commander Xiong treating a local government leader so politely?
