Power and Wealth

Afternoon.

The City’s Fourth Middle School.

The noisy school became quiet.

Dong Xuebing looked at the bystanders outside and shouted. “Go back! The students have classes. Let’s not disturb them.” Others might not listen if someone else said this. The people outside were there to watch, and it was hard to disperse them. But it was Dong Xuebing who said it. They exchanged looks and quickly dispersed.

Those new teachers and the ones who did not know Dong Xuebing were stunned again.

What power is this?

How influential is he?

Although they were new in Fen Zhou City and had not heard about Dong Xuebing’s past deeds, they could tell how influential he was when working there.

How many evil deeds did he do for everyone to be so fearful?

What did he do to make others tremble when they saw him?

Those new teachers could imagine the way others look at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing arrived at the school for a few minutes, and everything was over. He turned to Liao Yiming. “Sorry for interfering. But my wife is pregnant, and I worry for her.”

Liao Yiming replied. “No… no… This incident is over because of you. Who knows when this will end if you are not around.”

The Fourth Middle School’s Principal added. “Thank you, Mayor Dong.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “It’s nothing. Just don’t blame me for being nosy.”

The Fourth Middle School’s Principal waved his hands. “Of course not.”

A police officer walked over. “Are you all right, Mayor Xie? Sorry we did not protect you.” He turned to Dong Xuebing cautiously. “Sorry, Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “It’s fine. Huilan is safe.”

The officer tried to explain. “The crowd was too big, and our officers could not control them. Luckily, you appeared.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Ok. This incident is settled, and I will not get involved with the rest.”

The officer replied. “We will interrogate those few hooligans when we are back.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “Thank you, everyone. Let’s go back.”

The officer replied. “We will make a move, Mayor Xie, Director Dong.”

The Police Officers returned to their cars and left.

Dong Xuebing looked at his wife. “Are you going back to work now?”

Xie Huilan touched her tummy and smiled. “Haha… I got work to do. What about you?”

Dong Xuebing said. “I will get lunch and wait for you to finish work.”

“Ok. Since you are back, I will end work early. We will have dinner at Mom’s place. She called me several times to ask about your injuries. I did not tell her how serious your injuries were. Haha…. but you seemed fine now, and you can walk.”

“I recover fast, and my legs’ injuries are not serious.”

“Let’s talk later. I am returning to the City Party Committee Building now.”

“Ok. Call me when you finish work. We will go to my mother’s place together.”

Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan had not met for a while. But they did not talk much in front of others.

Along the road.

The police officers’ leader remembered and called his station. “Hello, it’s me. You all don’t need to send backup.”

“They are on their way.”

“Tell them to return.”

“Why?”

“It is settled, and we are not needed anymore.”

“Settled? Didn’t you say more than fifty people were causing trouble?”

The police officer smiled. “Director Dong is back, and those parents left immediately.”

The person on the phone asked. “Huh? Director Dong? Which Director Dong?”

The police officer replied. “Who else can scare away fifty people?”

That person inhaled deeply. “Mayor Xie’s husband is back?” No wonder this incident is over so quickly.

City Party Committee Building.

City Mayor’s Office.

A City Mayor is busy. Zhong Zhengwei settled a few documents and called to arrange a meeting. He felt uneasy about the Fourth Middle School situation. After all, more than fifty parents were causing trouble and had blocked the gates. It is difficult to handle this situation, and the City cannot give in to their demands.

Zhong Zhengwei was about to call and ask about the situation when someone knocked on his door urgently.

“Come in.”

“Mayor Zhong.”

It was Zhong Zhengwei’s secretary.

Zhong Zhengwei looked at him. “What is it? Why are you in a rush?”

The secretary replied. “I received news from the Fourth Middle School.”

“Did something bad happen?” Zhong Zhengwei got nervous.

The secretary paused for a second. “No. The incident is settled, and those parents left.”

Zhong Zhengwei could not believe what he had heard. “It’s only a few minutes. How come it is settled so fast?”

The secretary replied. “Mayor Xie’s husband returned. He walked over when he saw she was surrounded. Those parents, who were causing trouble, left without him saying anything. A few hooligans who were inciting the crowd were arrested. They don’t even dare to escape.”

Mayor Xie’s husband?

Dong Xuebing is back.

Zhong Zhengwei laughed. “This Xiao Dong… Hahaha… No wonder. His face alone is enough to stop those troublemakers. It’s a pity. I wanted to keep him in our City, but he insisted on going to a remote grassroots area for training. With him around, many sensitive issues can be settled easily.”

Dong Xuebing is like a sword.

People will be scared if a sword is used to kill many people. You don’t even need to unsheathe it.
