Afternoon.
The dark clouds had dispersed, and the sun was shining brightly.
Dong Xuebing and Yu Qianqian are having lunch in a restaurant outside the school. When they were almost finished, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. It’s the County’s Public Security Team Leader, Feng Lei. Dong Xuebing laughed and answered. “Hello, Old Feng.”
“Chief Dong, I heard you are back.” Feng Lei said.
“That’s right. It’s only an hour since I co back and you know about it. You are fast.”
“It’s not I am fast. Almost the whole County knows about this now. Do you need to help with anything? I can go over now.”
“Thanks for your offer. It’s just so nobodies, and I had gotten soone to settle it.”
“Alright. Just give a call if you need .”
After hanging up, the County’s Party Committee Deputy Secretary, Cao Xupeng, Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief, Qin Yong, Investnt Promotion Agency’s Guo Panwei and Luo Haiting, and many others called to offer their help. Dong Xuebing is touched and did not continue with his lunch. He chatted with them over the phone, and the Public Security Bureau’s Officers group entered the restaurant. He looked at them and said over the phone. “Sister Luo, I still have so things to do now. Let’s continue this evening. I will treat you all to dinner. Call Panwei and the rest too.”
Yu Qianqian saw the Public Security Bureau’s Police Officers and began to panic.
Dong Xuebing kept his phone and looked at them. “If I rember correctly, you are Xiao Wang, right?”
The leader of the group’s surna is Wang, and he is surprised. He felt honored for Dong Xuebing to rember his na. “Yes, Chief Dong.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “What is it?”
Xiao Wang replied. “We need to ask you so questions.”
“Ok. Go ahead.” Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Have a seat.”
The Officers sat around the table.
Xiao Wang asked cautiously. “Chief Dong, I need to ask you about the incident in County First Middle School.”
“I am the one who beat them up.” Dong Xuebing admitted. “That class teacher, Huang Tingting, and the other two students.”
Xiao Wang and the other officers are sweating. They thought it would be difficult to get any answers from Dong Xuebing, but Dong Xuebing admitted everything. This made them speechless. They are impressed by Dong Xuebing. He dares to take responsibility for what he has done, unlike Huang Shizhong. His daughter had bullied others, and he used his authority to cover up for her. He kept insisting that Yu Qianqian hit his daughter first, and his daughter was defending herself. But the officers had watched the video and knew this excuse was bullshit. He is nothing compared to Chief Dong.
How are the Officers going to handle this case after Chief Dong had admitted to hitting the teacher and students?
Bring him back to the station?
Xiao Wang is troubled. They can arrest Dong Xuebing and bring him back, but they know about his other identity.
Dong Xuebing acted as if nothing had happened and asked. “Have you guys had your lunch yet?”
“…… Ah? Not yet. We rushed over at the last minute.”
“Ok. Boss, serve a few more dishes. Let’s eat together.”
“Wait…. How can we do this?”
“Don’t stand on ceremony with . Are you not giving face?!”
“No…. I don’t an that. Thank you, Chief Dong.”
County First Middle School.
Huang Shizhong thought about what had happened and felt sothing was wrong. He cald himself and took out his phone to call a friend. He wants to know more about Dong Xuebing’s background. The person he is calling is Pang Dabing. This person is an acquaintance, but they had t a few tis. He is currently working in Nan Shan district’s Nan Qi Morning Post as a Deputy Chief Editor. He had called him because he didn’t know anyone else in Nan Shan District. Furthermore, Pang Dabing works in the local newspaper agency and might know about Dong Xuebing.
Ring… ring… ring….
“Hello, Chief Huang.”
“It’s , Old Pang.”
“I heard you are promoted. Haha…. Congratulations.”
“Thanks.”
They exchanged so pleasantries, and Huang Shizhong asked. “Old Pang, do you know a Subdistrict Office Director Dong Xuebing in Nan Shan District?”
Pang Dabing was surprised when Huang Shizhong ntioned this na. “Are you referring to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s Dong Xuebing?”
“I only know he is a Subdistrict Office Director. Do you know him?”
“…… I heard about him but have not t him.”
“Oh?” Huang Shizhong asked. “What’s his background?”
Pang Dabing laughed. “From what I know, he doesn’t co from any powerful background. He is just a young leader newly posted to the district, and his working style is quite aggressive. He beat up many civilians during a crackdown on illegal buildings and did many bad things. But… nothing happened to him eventually. His situation in Nan Shan District is not looking good as he had offended both the District Party Secretary and the District Mayor.”
Huang Shizhong is relieved. “Oh, thanks for telling .”
“Old Huang, why did not ask about him?” Pang Dabing is curious.
Huang Shizhong’s face changed, and he told Pang Dabing about how Dong Xuebing beat up his daughter.
Pang Dabing frowned. “I have t Tingting. How is it possible she will bully other students? Didn’t she just transfer over to that school? This Dong Xuebing is too arrogant.”
Pang Dabing knows Dong Xuebing. He was the one who sent the reporters to write the article about how the Subdistrict Office staff used force on civilians when tearing down illegal buildings. Soone had approached him to do that because he wanted to deal with Dong Xuebing. He did that is to please the District’s Organization Departnt Chief. But the City Daily imdiately publish an article praising Guang Ming Subdistrict’s actions. The Chief Editor reprimanded him because of this incident.
After hanging up, Huang Shizhong is relieved. It’s good news as Dong Xuebing had offended both the No. 1 and No. 2 of Nan Shan District. This ans he has enemies everywhere in Nan Shan District, and he should not be likable in Yan Tai County. Furthermore, he was transferred away, and his forr connections will distance themselves from him.
Huang Shizhong thought this way.
But other than him, no one else has the sa thoughts.
For example, the County First Middle School’s Principal received two phone calls and imdiately called for a managent eting. It is the school holidays now, and many teachers and school leaders are not working. But all of them rushed back to the School after receiving the Principal’s call. Everyone looks tense, and many leaders smoke furiously at the back of the eting room without saying a word.
They had heard of what happened and knew what was going on.
Other schools leaders might not know who the God of Plagues is or have only heard stories about him. After all, Dong Xuebing is only famous among the higher-ups of the Yan Tai County Governnt. But his mother worked in County First Middle School, and all the staff knew about him. The Principal didn’t even need to explain the situation.
“Let’s start the eting.” The Principal said with a grim expression.
Everyone straightens their backs.
“This eting is a directive by the County Governnt’s higher-ups. It regards a video clip posted online, which had adverse societal influence. We are required to co up with a proposal to handle this incident.
Everyone listened attentively and did not say a word.
Huang Shizhong was not at the eting and was not inford about it. The Principal did not ntion this directive is from the County’s Ministry of Education or any specific nas. He only ntioned County Governnt higher-ups. This ans soone or a few of the County Governnt Leaders had called the Principal regarding this incident. The correct procedure is to inform the Ministry of Education Chief Huang as his daughter is involved in this incident. But the Principal did not do so. This ans the county governnt leader exerting pressure on him is higher ranked than Huang Shizhong.
Silence.
More silence.
All the school leaders are not willing to get involved.
The Principal looks at them and says. “I have a suggestion. The related departnts will be deleting the video from the internet, and this incident has impacted the school. I suggest expelling Huang Tingting, Sun Lei, and ng Fan from the school with imdiate effect.”
Expel the Ministry of Education Chief’s daughter from the school?!
This will never happen. The Ministry of Education Chief oversees all the schools within the County. Expelling the Chief’s family mbers is equivalent to killing their career. But no one at the eting is surprised.
The Principal sighed. “Let’s vote. Raise your hand if you disagree.”
No one raises their hand.
“Alright. We have a unanimous decision.” The Principal said.
The school leaders are not willing to offend Huang Shizhong, but they are more afraid of so people.
The relevant docunts are printed, and the Principal signed them. Huang Tingting, Sun Lei, and ng Fan’s records are retrieved, and they have nothing to do with County First Middle School.
Huang Shizhong, who is still waiting for the Public Security Bureau Officers to arrest Dong Xuebing, is unaware of what is happening.
Dong Xuebing is a decisive person. If he wants to deal with soone, he will do it imdiately.
At the sa ti, Xiao Wang received a call from the Bureau at the restaurant. They bid goodbye to Dong Xuebing and left.
