Night.
Hospital.
Dong Xuebing returned to the ward after the call and noticed one more person. It was his mother, Luan Xiaoping. She was carrying the three-month-old Xiao Qianqian.
“Mum.” Dong Xuebing greeted her. “Why are you here?”
Luan Xiaoping replied angrily. “How can I don’t visit Yunxuan after what happened to her?”
Dong Xuebing explained. “I don’t want to be worried. She is fine now.”
Luan Xiaoping was still angry. “How can you hide this from me?!”
Qu Yunxuan held Luan Xiaoping’s hand. “Mum, I asked Xiao Bing not to tell you. You have high blood pressure, and we don’t want you to get worried.”
Luan Xiaoping held Yunxuan’s hand. “I was so scared. Luckily, you are fine.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother sighed. “Yunxuan is lucky to be alive.”
They chatted for a while.
A doctor entered the ward to check Qu Yunxuan and concluded her condition had stabilized. She can transfer to another hospital tomorrow.
Everyone was relieved.
Qu Yunxuan’s mother said to her husband. “We came out in a rush and did not switch off the TV or close the windows. Our daughter is fine now, and I will stay with her. You should go home first.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father shook his head. “You should go back. You had not been taking your medication for two days.”
“I will be fine and will not die if I do not take my medicine for a few days.” Qu Yunxuan’s mother replied, but she looked tired.
Qu Yunxuan was worried for her parents. “Dad, Mum, you two should go back and rest. I am fine by myself.”
Luan Xiaoping added. “That’s right. You all should go back and rest. You two did not get much sleep these two days. Don’t worry about Yunxuan. I told Old Yang I was not returning to the neighboring City. I can take care of her.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father hesitated. “This will be too troublesome for you.”
Luan Xiaoping replied. “Yunxuan is my daughter-in-law, and it’s not troublesome.”
“We….” Qu Yunxuan’s mother also hesitated.
“I will take care of her.” Luan Xiaoping said.
Qu Yunxuan’s mother looked at her. “Alright. Thank you, Sister Luan.”
Luan Xiaoping waved her hand. “We are a family. Stop saying this.”
“Dad, Mum.” Dong Xuebing grabbed his keys. “My car is downstairs. I will send you all back to Beijing.”
Luan Xiaoping nodded. “Yes. Let Xiao Bing send you all back. His car is fast.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother replied. “No need. We will take the long-distance bus. Xiao Bing can send us to the bus station.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father added. “That’s right. It’s too far, and you all got a baby to look after.”
Dong Xuebing agreed. His mother had to stay in the hospital to take care of Yunxuan, and they should not let Little Qianqian stay with her. The hospital is full of germs, and Qianqian might fall sick. “Alright. I will send you all to the bus station.”
Luan Xiaoping passed Little Qianqian to Dong Xuebing. “Bring the baby with you. Hospitals are not clean and don’t come back after sending Yunxuan’s parents.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Alright.”
Qu Yunxuan was worried. “Xiao Bing doesn’t know how to take care of babies. Are you sure?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Just leave her to me. She is my daughter, and I can take care of her. It’s just changing diapers and feeding her. Anyone can do it.”
Qu Yunxuan laughed. “Stop boasting. Don’t come running back to us with her.”
“Impossible.” Dong Xuebing retorted. “I will show you.”
Everyone laughed.
Luan Xiaoping looked at her son. “I am leaving my precious granddaughter to you. You better watch out if you make her starve.”
“I know….” Dong Xuebing replied. “Mum, Dad, let’s go.”
“Ok.” Qu Yunxuan’s mother looked at her daughter. “Rest well and call us if you need anything. We will come and visit you.”
At the same time.
As Dong Xuebing thought, the impact of Wan Sizhao’s death has grown bigger. Many leaders in Fen Zhou City felt Dong Xuebing was involved in his death.
Dong Xuebing’s background was dug up for the first time in Fen Zhou City. Everyone might not be interested if he was an Investment Promotion Agency leader and a Sub-District Director. However, he is the Inspection First Office’s Director, and he can be considered one of the high executives in the City. His wife is the City’s Deputy Mayor, and everyone started asking about his background.
Some leaders asked their friends in Nan Shan District.
Some leaders asked the staff in Yan Tai County.
Everyone was shocked when they heard about Dong Xuebing’s past deeds.
The City Leaders’ impression of Dong Xuebing was righteous and upright because he had saved countless lives during the earthquake and landslide. The news reports had reported all positive news about him.
After asking around, the Leaders found out they were wrong.
Most people were fooled by Dong Xuebing’s outstanding achievements and image.
News of what happened in Yan Tai County after Dong Xuebing was appointed spread to the Leaders.
Because of Dong Xuebing, Yan Tai County’s former Party Secretary, was transferred away to a powerless position. Yan Tai County’s former Publicity Department Chief was arrested for corruption because of him. A person with a grudge against him was hit by a falling flowerpot and became an idiot. A staff member who had clashed with him was in an elevator accident and forced to retire because of health issues. The accident happened in front of him. Nan Shan District’s Party Secretary Wan Anshi was dismissed, and the Organization Department Chief was arrested. Many other leaders were punished and fired from the government service because of him.
God damn….
What the hell had happened?
Everyone was shocked. This was the first time they discovered Dong Xuebing’s true nature behind the earthquake hero image.
Wan Sizhao had died this time.
All of Dong Xuebing’s enemies did not end well.
What is wrong with this person?
This person is bad luck!
Finally, Dong Xuebing’s nickname from Yan Tai County and Nan Shan District returned to Fen Zhou City.
The God of Plagues!
No wonder Dong Xuebing was given this nickname. It fit him perfectly.
