Power and Wealth

Afternoon.

The banquet ended.

The guests started leaving. Dong Xuebing, Li Feng, and his men walked out of the restaurant together.

"Xuebing, are you alright?" Li Feng was worried.

"I am fine." Dong Xuebing laughed.

Li Feng saw Dong Xuebing walking toward the parking lots and stopped him. "How about I get someone to send to the hotel?"

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "I am really fine. Do I look drunk?"

Li Feng did not insist. "Alright. Call me if the traffic police stop you. I am impressed by your alcohol tolerance. I do not dare to drink with you again." He could tell Dong Xuebing was not drunk and let him drive. All of them were impressed by his alcohol tolerance.

"I am going off."

"Be careful."

"Don't worry about me."

"Oh, we had arranged your lodging for you."

"Is it at the County Party Committee guesthouse? I know where it is."

Dong Xuebing got into his car and drove away steadily.

Because of what happened at the banquet, others looked at Dong Xuebing until he was out of sight.

Li Feng turned to his men. "Inform the higher-ups that the Inspection Team is here. Be alert."

"Yes. I will go now."

Li Feng felt Dong Xuebing, and he got closer after today, and the inspection should not be a problem. He was glad he had made the right choice at the entrance. If he had entered the restaurant with Liu Guowei and Liu Haibin, he would offend the God of Plagues and Commander Xiong.

The other side of the restaurant.

Xiong Liping got into his car. The banquet had ended, and he needed to rush back.

Xiong Fei and a woman also followed his father into the car.

"Dad." Xiong Fei asked the moment he got into the car. "Who is that, Dong Xuebing?"

Xiong Liping looked at his son. "His wife is Xie Huilan. Didn't I tell you all before?"

"Since when have you told us about anything?" Xiong Fei replied. "Xie Huilan…. I have heard of her name before but cannot recall who she is."

Xiong Liping frowned. "It's not that I don't want to tell you all anything. It's because you all do not want to listen. You don't know who Xie Huilan is?! Do you know the Xie family?"

"Xie Family?" Xiong Fei was surprised.

The woman was also stunned. "She is from the Xie Family…."

Xiong Liping continued. "Huilan is the eldest granddaughter of the Xie family, and Beijing City's Party Secretary Xie is her father."

Xiong Fei gasped. "Xie family's eldest granddaughter is working in Fen Zhou City?! How come no one mentioned anything?!"

"This is called keeping a low profile. Of course, other political reasons are involved, which you all do not understand." Xiong Liping sighed. "Look at Huilan and Xiao Dong. Huilan is around your age and is now a Deputy Bureau Director and City Party Committee member. Xiao Dong is more capable. He is five to six years younger than you and is a Deputy Division Chief now."

The woman argued. "That is because of their family background."

Xiong Fei joked. "Dad, if you move up one more rank, Sis and I will also be promoted quickly."

However, Xiong Liping did not joke with them. He looked at his children and shook his head. "What do you all know? You all have not met Huilan. I had met her once when she was young, and I could tell she was born to be a government official. She is someone you cannot be compared to. I dare to say that even without her family background, her position would not be too far from where she is now. Both of you should meet her. Sigh…. This woman is extraordinary. I think she might even overtake her father in the future."

The woman smacked her lips. "Are you sure? She is a woman."

Xiong Liping replied. "So what if she is a woman? She is capable."

"Then what about that Dong Xuebing?" Xiong Fei was curious.

Xiong Liping hesitated for a second and said. "Xiao Dong is more extraordinary. He and Huilan just got married and got to his position with his abilities. I cannot tell you what he did for some reason, but you two must not offend him. Xiao Fei, you must keep in touch with him."

Xiong Fei was speechless. "What did he do? Why you can't tell us?"

Xiong Liping replied. "The Military Committee and put up a file for Dong Xuebing. How can I tell you?"

"Military Committee?!" Xiong Fei and his sister were stunned. "Even if he is the Xie family's son-in-law, the Military Committee should not be alarmed." Xiong Fei's face suddenly changed. "I heard someone killed more than twenty pirates in the seas outside of Fu Zhou and won against dozens of your soldiers on the Navy vessel. That guy is Dong…."

Xiong Liping interrupted him. "I have never told you anything. Just keep it to yourself if you know anything."

Xiong Fei and his sister inhaled deeply. "We understand, Dad."

Afternoon.

After 3 pm.

Dong Xuebing was driving around aimlessly when his phone rang. It was Discipline Inspection Deputy Secretary Zhan Guiping.

"Hello, Secretary Zhan."

"Where are you, Xiao Dong?"

"In Da Feng County. I came here to look around first."

Zhan Guiping nodded and continued. "Oh, I need to inform you of this. Commander Liu had wanted the City Party Committee to investigate you this morning. I just received the latest news. The investigation was called off. I heard Commander Liu called off the investigation and claimed it might be a misunderstanding. It should be his military base issue and had nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about the punishment now."

"Oh, that's great."

"Haha… did something happen?"

"Nothing. I only had a drink with Commander Liu earlier."

"Alright. That's all."

Dong Xuebing knew Liu Guowei had called off the investigation because of Commander Xiong's attitude towards him. Liu Guowei was worried about the military higher-up's reaction and made this decision.

Without punishment, this incident was considered over.

Dong Xuebing relaxed and started humming a song while driving.
