Afternoon, 1 pm.
The Audi drove past the final guardhouse and left the military base.
Dong Xuebing looked at the guards at the guardhouse through his rearview mirror and said. “Alright. We are safe now.”
Chaochao cheered. “Great!”
A male classmate lifted both arms. “We are finally saved!”
The female classmate turned to Xu Yan. “Thank you, Aunt Xu. We should still be locked up if you did not co.”
“Thank you, Aunt Xu.”
“Thank you.”
The students thanked Xu Yan.
Xu Yan waved her hand. “You all should thank your Uncle Dong. It’s all because of him.”
Chaochao looked at Dong Xuebing and said. “Thank you, Dong… Uncle Dong.”
They had to address Dong Xuebing as Uncle since Xu Yan said it.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand and continued driving. “Don’t ntion it. But I have to reprimand you all. The water is deep in local areas. You can never know if the person in front of you is a leader’s relative. You all must be careful. Even if that Liu Haibing…. Even if that person you all beaten up is in the wrong, you should not have hit him. Luckily, Sister Xu and I are in Ma Yang County and could help. If not, you all will have to suffer more.” He saw the students nodding and continued. “Just treat this as a lesson, and don’t be rash next ti.”
Don’t be rash?!
Xu Yan was amused when she heard Dong Xuebing saying this.
The female classmate replied. “We learned our lesson, Uncle Dong.”
The male classmate added. “It’s all my fault. I could not control myself and hit him. That guy was too much.”
“Just rember not to be rash.” Dong Xuebing said. “Give a call if you reencounter such incidents. I will teach him a lesson. Sotis, you don’t need to beat up soone to teach him a lesson. There are other ways to punish them.”
Xu Yan interrupted. “Xiao Dong, stop teaching them the bad things.”
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “I shall not say anymore. Err…. Are you all hungry? Let’s get lunch.”
Chaochao shouted. “I want to eat grill at.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Alright. Let’s eat grilled at!”
Chaochao was hungry and suddenly rembered what had happened. “Uncle Dong, why did they don’t they stop us earlier? There are so many of them, and they should be able to stop us easily. Furthermore, they have guns.”
The other male classmate added. “That’s right. They were so fierce and were shouting at us. Why all of them kept quiet in the end?”
These are the questions in their minds as they look at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing did not know how to answer them. “Err….”
Xu Yan laughed. “Those soldiers should have heard of your Uncle Dong’s na.”
Chaochao was surprised. “Is Uncle Dong’s na so scary?”
Xu Yan smiled. “Your Uncle Dong had fought off a Siberia tiger with his bare hands, fought a few dozen of angry mobs, held up a wall weighing more than a ton, buried for more than ten days during the earthquake, survived an air crash, killed nine escaped convicts with his hands handcuffed, and killed twenty over criminals. Do you think they still dare to fight him after hearing his na?”
Chaochao and his classmates were stunned. “Ah….”
Xu Yan laughed. “Although there are twenty of them, they knew they were no match for your Uncle Dong. That’s why they are so obedient.”
Chaochao exclaid. “You are amazing, Uncle Dong.”
Dong Xuebing denied it modestly. “It’s not that amazing. Those rumors are exaggerated and made notorious.”
Xu Yan laughed. “Stop being modest. Who doesn’t know about your skills in Fen Zhou City?”
Chaochao and his male classmate asked excitedly. “Did you fight a few dozen of people? Damn!”
“No… no….” Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. “It was exaggerated.”
Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing. “I have to thank you for saving my son and his classmates. The military would not let them go so fast if it weren’t for you. At the sa ti, I need to apologize for dragging you into my family affairs. This had nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to be involved. Now, Commander Liu will rember you and might get back at you. If he told the higher-ups that you had interfered with their work, you would be affected. I will et Commander Liu tomorrow and try to settle this conflict.”
Xu Yan was correct. She had an excuse for entering the military base because of her son. However, Commander Liu might think of Dong Xuebing as being nosey. He might transfer his hatred for Xu Yan and her son to him.
But does Dong Xuebing mind?
He had offended too many people and didn’t mind offending one or two more.
Dong Xuebing replied. “You don’t need to go. You had paid his son’s dical fees and showed your attitude. You will lower yourself if you et him again. Don’t worry about . I am not afraid of Liu Guowei and am interested to know what he will do. I will be waiting for him. Don’t worry about it.”
“But….” Xu Yan wanted to continue.
Dong Xuebing interrupted. “It’s fine. He cannot do anything to .”
Xu Yan did not continue and say. “Anyway, thank you, Xiao Dong.”
“Don’t ntion it. It’s fine.”
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. We had slept together, and what’s there to thank? We are a family now, and your son is my son. Of course, he could not say this in front of Chaochao and his friends. Err… even if he is alone with Xu Yan, he will not dare to ntion it. He knew she also understood why he helped her.
Chaochao and his friends continued to ask Dong Xuebing about his feats. “Uncle Dong, how did you fight off that tiger?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Just like that….”
“You are a governnt official. What is your rank?”
“Huh? I am a Deputy Division Chief with the Discipline Inspection, Inspection First Office.”
“Ah? How did you beco a Deputy Division Chief at your age? My Mum is only a Division Chief.”
“Sister Xu climbed up through her efforts, and I got it through sheer luck. You cannot compare us.”
Chaochao and his friends were interested in Dong Xuebing and kept asking questions.
The car arrived at a restaurant selling grilled at, and everyone got out. They entered the restaurant, and Dong Xuebing ordered a dozen plates of grilled at.
The food was served, and they started grilling the at.
Dong Xuebing’s started ringing.
Dong Xuebing saw it was Xie Huilan and quickly walked out of the restaurant to answer. “Huilan, it is settled. You don’t need to worry about it anymore.”
“I know it’s settled, and you had barged into the military base.”
“Hehe…. Don’t make it sound so bad. I did not barge into the base.”
“Really? Haha…. How co this is different from what I hear?”
“I did not do anything. Those soldiers knew they were no match for and stood there quietly. I was mindful of my actions.”
“You should not be there in the first place. Why did you go?”
Dong Xuebing could not tell the truth. “Sister Xu is my forr leader and had taken good care of . I must help her.”
“Fine. I can’t be bothered with you. But you must be prepared. Liu Guowei is unhappy with us.”
“I know. Just let him be. I can’t be bothered with soone so petty like him. He doesn’t listen and keeps pushing the bla on others. He spoilt his son, and that was the cause of this incident. Those kids were beaten up badly by those soldiers. How can he bla ? I would settle the score with him if he dared to get back at . Who is afraid of him?”
“Are you trying to create trouble again? I am calling you to ask you to be careful.”
“I understand. Anyway, I am leaving tomorrow. Our inspection here is over, and he cannot find even if he wants. Don’t worry. I will not clash with him head-on unless necessary. Alright. I will not give in to him; his son, Liu Haibin, has serious issues. I must investigate and get rid of him from the governnt service.”
“Alright. You know what you are doing.”
“I know.”
Dong Xuebing continued with his lunch after hanging up.
Around the sa ti, news of Dong Xuebing barging into the military base spread in Fen Zhou City. Everyone drew a deep breath. The God of Plagues is indeed the God of Plagues. He can create trouble even on official inspection duties.
Clashing with the City Party Secretary….
Clashing with Deputy City Mayor Feng….
Now, Dong Xuebing is clashing with a military base Commander.
You are good at offending others.
