Power and Wealth

Roadside.

Lui Dacai, who was slapped on the shoulders, was shocked as he stared at the person standing outside his car. This person should not be standing here. He had been looking at the hotel's entrance without taking his eyes off. He swore that Dong Xuebing had not left the hotel. How did he appear behind him?

"Old Lui! Did you just finish work?" Dong Xuebing laughed.

Lui Dacai replied in a daze. "You got the wrong person." He quickly tried to drive off.

Dong Xuebing slapped Lui Dacai's shoulder again. "Lui Dafa! You think I cannot recognize you?! What's wrong? Why are you pretending you don't know me?"

Lui Dacai does not want to speak to Dong Xuebing. "I am not Lui Dafa!"

Slap! Dong Xuebing slapped Lui Dacai's back again. "Old Lui, stop joking. I will recognize you even if you turn to ash. Where are you going? Give me a lift. I am going to the junction in front to buy a packet of cigarettes." Dong Xuebing opened the passenger door and entered. "Go. It's just about 100 meters in front." Dong Xuebing knew this person is not Lui Dafa but is just trying to piss him off.

Lui Dacai was slapped on his back by Dong Xuebing three times, and his shoulder is hurting like hell. But he is guilty conscious and can only suppress his anger. He stepped on the accelerator and drove to the roadside cigarette store in front. His only thought is to quickly get away from Dong Xuebing!

Dong Xuebing alighted and slapped Lui Dacai's back again. "Thanks, Old Lui."

Lui Dacai doesn't dare to stay there any longer and immediately drove off.

Dong Xuebing sneered and called Public Security Bureau's Deputy Team Leader Feng. "Old Feng, I'm Dong Xuebing…. Yes… there is some problem. Bring a few of you men to Jia De Hotel. There is a case here… yes… I will tell you the details later… alright… Bye." Dong Xuebing kept his phone and bought a packet of Yu Xi cigarettes from the store before strolling back to the hotel. He leaned against a wall outside of the hotel and smoke a cigarette quietly.

After a while, the three officers walked out of the hotel. They had not completed the order given to them and are pissed. They had searched Room 603 thoroughly. They found a woman, but the main lead is not in the room. The only explanation is they had received the wrong info.

"Hey!" Dong Xuebing laughed and snubbed his cigarette. "Attending to a case?"

The three officers looked up and were startled. "… Chief Dong?!"

None of them expected to see Dong Xuebing here and were stunned.

Dong Xuebing smiles and nods. "It's Lunar New Year, and you all are still working hard. Good job… the Government needs responsible Officers like you all. Good… I am close to Chief Liang, and I will put up some good words for you all. Hardworking Officers like you all should be groomed and promoted, right?" Dong Xuebing saw the three Officers sweating profusely and laughed. "What are your names? Show me your Police Identification Cards! I will let the leaders know about you all!"

The Officer in front quickly laugh. "No need… no need… we are just doing our duties."

Another Officer wiped the sweat off his forehead. "That's right. We had not done anything special."

Dong Xuebing extended his hand. "Just give me your work pass. You all should be rewarded for your hard work. I was also from the Public Security Bureau, and I understand it's tough being an Officer on the ground."

The three Officers are unwilling to identify themselves, as they know Chief Dong is a revengeful person. It's best to avoid him, but after what Dong Xuebing said, they had no choice. Furthermore, Chief Dong is no longer a leader within the Public Security Bureau. It was the higher-ups who ordered them to raid Dong Xuebing's hotel room. They exchanged looks and reached into their pockets.

"Eh?" An Officer paused and started emptying his pockets.

"Ah? Where is my identification card?" Another Officer gasped.

"Mine is also missing!" The third Officer panicked. "My identification card and wallet are missing!"

The three Officers do not know what was happening. They had shown their Police Identification Card when they entered the hotel. Why are their passes missing suddenly?

Dong Xuebing was waiting for this moment. His face suddenly changed, and points at those three Officers. "I thought you all are hardworking Officers! You all are impersonating Police Officers! Where is your Police Identification Card?! Where is your personal ID? Driving license?! What?! You don't have any identification on you all?!" Dong Xuebing shouted and attracted many bystanders. "You all don't bring your Police Identification Card with you when you attend to cases?! Who are you trying to trick?! You think buying a Police Uniform, and you are an Officer?! Ah?! You all dare to impersonate Police Officers in front of me?!"

The crowd heard it and started shouting.

"They are criminals! Arrest them!"

"That's right! Call the Police! These fake Policemen are too much!"

"My son was conned by these fake Officers! Those bastards!"

The three Officers quickly explain. "We are really Police Officers from the City Police Station. Our Identification Cards were still with us. We might have misplaced it!"

Dong Xuebing sneered. "Do you even believe what you said? Do you think it's so easy to fool me?!"

The Officer is panicking. "I am telling the truth. My wallet and work pass might be pickpocketed!"

Suddenly, two Police cars with siren and blinkers on arrived. The Police cars parked by the roadside, and Deputy Team Leader Feng and his men rushed over. Although Dong Xuebing is no longer a Leader with the Public Security Bureau, Deputy Team Leader Feng still respects him. That's why he rushed over after receiving Dong Xuebing's call.

Dong Xuebing turned to Deputy Team Leader Feng. "Team Leader Feng. You are here at the right time. There are three fake Policemen here!"

Deputy Team Leader Feng paused for a second and look at the three Officers. He had met one of them before and knew he is from the City Police Station. Why is Chief Dong saying they are fake Policemen?

That Officer quickly shouted. "Team Leader Feng, our work passes are stolen."

Deputy Team Leader Feng is also an old fox. He knows there must be more to this.

Dong Xuebing replied coldly. "I can sense something is fishy when you all suddenly conducted a prostitution raid at this hotel. That's why I waited for them to come out before questioning them. They don't have Police Identification Card, Personal ID, Driving License, and all other identification papers. How can this be coincidental? Stolen?! You all are Police Officers! Which thief is so stupid to steal from a Police Officer?! Use your brains even if you want to lie!"

Deputy Team Leader Feng immediately understands what is going on. These three must have offended Dong Xuebing by trying to accuse him of visiting prostitutes.

No wonder Dong Xuebing is so angry. Even Deputy Team Leader Feng is also furious.

"Team Leader Feng!"

"Team Leader Feng, we…"

Deputy Team Leader Feng waved his hand. "Cuff them and bring them back for questioning!"

The three Officers drew a deep breath, and one of them shouted. "Team Leader Feng! We had met before! Did you forget about me? I am Xiao Zhang from the City Police Station!"

Deputy Team Leader Feng shook his head. "Who are you?! I don't know you!"

"Wait! You can call our station! You will know what is going on after calling our station!"

"Bring them back!" Deputy Team Leader Feng did not give these three Officers any chance to explain, and his men rushed over to cuffed them. Deputy Team Leader Feng turns to Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, thank you for reporting this case. There are more fake Police Officer cases recently, and the Bureau is very concerned about it. Don't worry. I will investigate this case thoroughly and make sure these fake Officers will be severely punished!" This is hinting to Dong Xuebing that he will teach these Officers a lesson.

Dong Xuebing patted Deputy Team Leader Feng's shoulder. "Thank you."

Deputy Team Leader Feng and his men brought the 'fake Policemen' away.

The crowd cheered and clapped.

The three City Police Station's Officers knew they had been set up! Their prostitution raid had not caught Dong Xuebing, and their identification cards went missing suddenly. When they were about to leave, Dong Xuebing stopped them at the entrance to demand their IDs. They… don't even know how Dong Xuebing set them up! They had not managed to catch Dong Xuebing but ended up getting arrested! They are regretting now. God of Plague Dong Xuebing is not someone they should mess with!

Dong Xuebing looks at the Police cars leaving before entering the hotel.

Room 603.

When Dong Xuebing stopped at the door, he saw a funny scene.

When the Police Officers barged into the bathroom, Luo Haiting immediately questioned them what they are trying to do angrily. The three Officers asked Luo Haiting if there is anyone else in the room. Her reply is she is alone. She knew Chief Dong must be hiding somewhere in the room. She looks towards the bottom of the bed and quickly walks out of the room after the Officers left. She remains in the corridor to wait for Dong Xuebing to come out.

Luo Haiting thought Chief Dong is hiding under the bed. Climbing out from under the bed will be embarrassing. If she is around, Chief Dong might be unhappy to be seen in such an awkward situation. That's why she left the room to wait for him to come out by himself.

This wait lasted more than ten minutes.

But Dong Xuebing did not appear, and the room door remains closed.

Luo Haiting's starts to run wild. She hesitated for a while and returned to the room to call Chief Dong. She called out for Dong Xuebing a few times before getting on her knees to look under the bed.

"Chief?"

"Sister Luo, are you looking for me?" Dong Xuebing said behind Luo Haiting.

Luo Haiting turned and was stunned. "You… why are you outside?"

Dong Xuebing did not answer her question. "Everything is fine now. Just proceed on with what we discussed about the promotion materials. Ok?"

"Yes…" Luo Haiting is confused. She looks at the window and thought to herself. This is the sixth floor! Did Chief Dong jumped out from the windows!?
