Power and Wealth

3.30 pm.

The injured were sent to the hospital, and everyone left.

This incident had blown up, and there's no way to cover up. The County's Party Secretary, Xiang Daofa, and other Committee Members received news of this incident and called for an emergency meeting. Xie Huilan did not continue with her inspection at the Industry Bureau and rushed back to the County Committee. The Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, Duan Zhengan, was in the City Government to attend to some matters and rushed back to the County.

News of this incident spread throughout the whole of Yan Tai County.

Chief Dong had beat up the neighboring County's Mayor and Department Head?! The injuries are so serious that blood is flowing out of his nose and mouth?!

Some staff is worried. Chief Dong is too ruthless. Why can't he stop getting himself into trouble? He had just created havoc at the Finance Department a few days ago, and he beats up a Mayor next?! Pang Zhou is still alright, but who is Li Feng?! He is a County's head! Even if Da Feng County had gone overboard, he should not raise his fist! This might escalate to a political incident!

Chief Dong is really in trouble this time.

It is too serious this time, and everyone thinks the same.

This incident is very serious. Even if Chief Dong has backings from the Central Government, rules are rules. Some rules within the government service cannot be broken. Hitting someone is too serious, and all your backings and connections will not save you. Furthermore, it is a Mayor and a Department Head who is hit. People at these positions have their own backings.

At the same time.

Investment Promotion Agency.

Luo Haiting looks at Dong Xuebing. "Chief, this…"

Sun Shuli frowned. "I think Li Feng had called the City just now. This… Sigh…"

Everyone felt Dong Xuebing was too impulsive but don't dare to say anything.

But Dong Xuebing is not nervous at all. He waved his hand. "Alright. Get back to work. It's still office hours." He looks at a middle-aged man who was about to leave and quickly walks over to him. "Please wait for a moment."

That man turned. "Chief Dong, did you call me?"

Dong Xuebing smiled. "That's right. Let's go to my office. I want to speak to you."

That man is puzzled. Although he knows Chief Dong will surely lose his job, he does dare to delay. He grabbed his stuff and followed Dong Xuebing back to the office.

Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, and the rest were in awe as they look at Dong Xuebing walking away as if nothing had happened. His career is gone, but he doesn't even seem to care. Just this attitude alone impressed everyone. No wonder he can be the Agency's Chief.

Twenty minutes later.

Dong Xuebing walked the middle-aged man out of his office. "Thank you."

That man took a deep breath. "Don't mention it. I will go and prepare. It should be ready tonight."

"Ok. Sorry to trouble you." Dong Xuebing looks at him. "Wait for my call."

Someone along the corridor saw this and is puzzled. What did Chief Dong and that man discussed in the office?

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing's mobile phone rang.

It's the County's Party Committee Deputy Secretary, Yan Tai County's No.3 person, Cao Xupeng.

Cao Xupeng is very angry and shouted the moment Dong Xuebing answered. "Xiao Dong! What have you done?! Tell me what you were thinking?! You dare to hit Mayor Li and Pang Zhou?!" Because he has high hopes for Dong Xuebing, he is furious. "I am speechless about what you did! You are too reckless! The County had just ended an emergency meeting, and even the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection called Secretary Xiang to reprimand him!"

Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. "Secretary Cao, I had not hit anyone. Don't accuse me."

Cao Xupeng doesn't believe Dong Xuebing. If it was someone else, he might still believe him. But Xiao Dong absolutely dares to do such things. "Secretary Xiang is speaking to Mayor Xie. Just wait for the outcome. Sigh…"

After a while, Duan Zhengan called and scolded Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had saved his son from the tiger at the zoo, and he doesn't want anything bad to happen to him.

After that, Dong Xuebing received calls from his close friends. This incident had blown up, and everyone knows about it.

Dong Xuebing felt warm when he sees so many people are concerned about him. I am still quite good with people. But none of them believe him when he said he did not hit Pang Zhou.

Huh? Is my reputation really that bad?

I had used STOP, and no one should have seen me punching him. But why does everything thinks I had done it?

Dong Xuebing has a reputation for being rash, impulsive, and violent. They will even believe he will dare to beat up a City Mayor, let alone a County Mayor.

This guy dares to do anything, and everyone is used to it.

Ring… ring… Hu Silian's number appeared on Dong Xuebing's phone.

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and answered. "Hello, Sister Hu."

Hu Silian sighed. "Your punishment is out. Mayor Xie, Secretary Cao, and Secretary Duan had wanted to suspend your duties until this incident is over. But the City Government and Secretary Xiang think differently. Mayor Li had filed a complaint against you to the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection and City Government leaders. The pressure from the top is too big, and even Secretary Xiang and Mayor Xie were reprimanded."

The City is pressuring them?

"What's the punishment?"

"Removal from your position. From today onwards, you are not the Investment Promotion Agency's Chief."

Dong Xuebing's face changed. "It's so fast?! They haven't even investigated into this incident, and they want to remove me from my position?" He thought he will be suspended and can resume his duties later. But he is getting removed straight away! Who do you think you are by using your connections within the City Government to pressure us?!

Hu Silian continued. "Do you know you had really made Mayor Xie angry this time?!"

Dong Xuebing is apologetic. When he saw Hu Silian calling him, he knows Xie Huilan is angry with him. "What did Mayor Xie say?"

"What else can she say? She had tried to argue with the higher-ups but could not stop them from ordering your removal. You might get another punishment later. This time, even Mayor Xie cannot do anything. But I think she might transfer you to another County after being removed from your position and waiting for the dust to settle. You might be demoted, but after one or two years, you should be…"

Hu Silian knows this is the best scenario. Dong Xuebing is still young, and this incident might not end his career. At most, his progress is delayed for one or two years. At the same time, she noticed Mayor Xie's attitude towards Dong Xuebing. Despite being angry with Dong Xuebing, she had still tried her best to save him. If someone else had hit a County's Mayor, he would be finished. But this incident made Hu Silian realized Mayor Xie is very forgiving and concerned for Chief Dong. She is even willing to protect Dong Xuebing in this situation.

But Dong Xuebing cannot accept this outcome!

One to two years? How can he wait so long?!

Li Feng! How dare you ask the City Leaders to scold my Huilan?! Do you want to die?!

Dong Xuebing is furious. "Sister Hu, Mayor Xie might be angry with me still, and I will not call her. Help me tell her that I can handle this!"

"Huh? You have a solution?!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing's phone rang again. It's Yang Zhaode!

Dong Xuebing answered. "Uncle Yang…"

Yang Zhaode did not reprimand Dong Xuebing but only let out a loud sigh. "I know about it. You had really got yourself in a mess this time. There's no way to save you. But don't get anxious. I will try to get you transferred to the City after you are removed from your position. Just stay low for two years, and I will find ways to transfer you to another County."

Yang Zhaode had tried his best and went to speak to the Leader handling this incident.

But this is not a small matter, and there's nothing he can do now.

Dong Xuebing smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Yang."

"I had not done anything. What's there to thank? But you should give your mother a call."

"Huh? What's wrong with Mum?"

"Xiaoping called me earlier and is crying. She is afraid something might happen to you." Yang Zhaode replied. "I had to console her for a long time for her to believe that you will be fine."

My mother had cried?!

Dong Xuebing felt guilty and angry at the same time!

Dong Xuebing was still thinking of taking care of Pang Zhou as soon as possible after receiving news of his removal. But now, he changed his mind. Damn! Da Feng County is too much! You all think you can bully others and then use the City Government to suppress our County?! Reprimand Huilan and even make my mother cry?! F**k! You think we are pushovers?! Do you think I will let you all step all over me?!

F**k you!

Do you all think I will be scare?!

You all want to blow this up and remove me from my position?!

Fine! I will play with you all and see who will emerge as the winner!

Dong Xuebing told Yang Zhaode that he will think of a solution and hangs up.

Come on!

Who is scare?!

I will make sure you all know the consequences of bullying others!
