One hour….
Two hours….
Three hours….
News of Dong Xuebing hitting others had spread because of Nan Qi Morning Post. Still, the District Government had not taken any actions. This made him slightly relieved.
Suddenly, the City’s State Security Bureau Chief Xu Yan called.
Dong Xuebing answered. “Hello, Sister Xu.”
Xu Yan laughed. “I saw a copy of today’s papers. Did you create trouble again?”
“……. I have my reasons.” Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. “A few students from Yan Tai County First Middle School had beaten up my goddaughter and forced her to kneel and bark like a dog. I taught them a lesson, and Nan Qi Morning Post did not report everything. They are trying to paint me in a bad light. These people even claimed I had abused my authority and beat up those students and that teacher. Why don’t they write about how their students bully my goddaughter? They made it sound like everything was my fault and even said the injuries were fractures. Bullshit! They are making up stories.”
Xu Yan frowned. “I had read the article, and the words they used are biased. Did you offend them previously?”
Dong Xuebing got mad when this was mentioned. “I didn’t even know about their Newspaper Agency previously. Someone had gotten them to stir up trouble with me, and they reported me beating up the residents during a crackdown on illegal buildings. It was those residents who attacked my staff with weapons, and I got to step forward to protect my men. But that newspaper did not mention anything about those residents and only stated I had beaten them. They were writing false articles about me, and I didn’t have time to deal with them. I did not expect them to attack me again.”
Many people might brush it off if the same thing happens to them less than three times.
But Dong Xuebing cannot tolerate the same thing to happen to him again.
He didn’t have time to deal with Nan Qi Morning Post previously, but not this time. He is prepared to retaliate.
“Sister Xu, are you busy now?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Xu Yan laughed. “What is it? Your problem is my problem.”
“Can you help me conduct a background check on Nan Qi Morning Post reporter Liu Gang and their Deputy Chief Editor Pang Dabing? I am still new in the district and don’t have the connections.” Xu Yan is the Chief of the City’s State Security Bureau, and she can investigate anyone within Fen Zhou City.
Xu Yan agreed without hesitation. “Ok.”
“Thank you.”
“Wait for my call.”
Ten minutes later, Xu Yan sent Dong Xuebing the information. She had gotten Liu Gang and Pang Dabing’s addresses and other information, including their relationship. They are relatives. Although their age gap is wide, Pang Dabing is Liu Gang’s older cousin.
You two are ganging up on me?!
You all are asking for it.
Dong Xuebing looks at those two’s personal information and thinks about how he will deal with them. He will not make any moves recklessly. If he is going to make any moves, it will be a deadly blow to them. If not, these people will not learn their lesson.
At the same time.
Nan Qi Morning Post, Editorial Office.
Ring…. Ring…. The phone on the desk rang.
Deputy Chief Editor Pang Dabing answered. It’s Yan Tai County Ministry of Education Chief Huang Shizhong who called. “Hello, Chief Huang. What is it?”
Huang Shizhong shouted angrily. “Old Pang! What have you done?!”
Pang Dabing narrowed his eyes. “Oh, what happened?”
“What do you think? What did your newspaper report today?!” Huang Shizhong banged his desk.
“Oh, it’s about that article. But this is not arranged by me. It’s my men who submitted this article, and I am unaware of the details.” Pang Dabing feigned ignorance.
Huang Shizhong continued angrily. “Old Pang, we have known each other for five to six years. You should not do this to me.”
Pang Dabing laughed. “I have nothing to do with this. Calm down, Chief Huang. Didn’t you say that Dong Xuebing is arrogant and even beaten up Tingting when you called previously? Isn’t it a good thing that someone reported this incident? Such people should be exposed. This is also our responsibility as a media worker.”
Bastard.
You still want to assume bureaucratic airs?!
Huang Shizhong is speechless and slams the phone. He has known Pang Dabing for a few years, but they are not close. He had called Pang Dabing because he wanted to know more about Dong Xuebing’s background and told him about the incident. This created this mess, and Pang Dabing reported it without consulting him. Furthermore, the article is biased, and Huang Shizhong is furious.
Huang Shizhong doesn’t want this incident to be reported.
Huang Shizhong had admitted his defeat to Dong Xuebing. He did not feel it was disgraceful as Dong Xuebing is the County Mayor’s fiancé. This incident is considered over, at least for now. But what Pang Dabing did was putting him in a tight spot. Will Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan think he still has not gotten over that incident and asked Pang Dabing to publish that article? He doesn’t want to be caught in the storm again. Even if other people do not suspect him, he will also be implicated if the City Government investigates. His daughter, Huang Tingting, is one of the bullies, and the incident happens in the school. He will be held responsible as the Ministry of Education Chief and might even lose his job.
There is something fishy about this.
Pang Dabing follows orders from someone, or he has grudges against Dong Xuebing.
Huang Shizhong hates Pang Dabing. This person is willing to sacrifice a friend to achieve his motive.
Dong Xuebing also knows someone is pulling the strings behind the curtain.
The biggest suspect is Nan Shan District Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong. Dong Xuebing had beaten up his son, caused his son to be arrested, and caused him to be punished by the District Government. He should be doing this for revenge.
“Xue Qingrong!”
“Pang Dabing!”
“Liu Gang!”
Dong Xuebing is prepared to deal with them one after another.
