Power and Wealth

Chapter 430 – It’s too weird!

The fake injury saga continued to spread.

Pang Zhou's "spitting blood and getting blown away" made many families laugh.

The video is released by Dong Xuebing. In the afternoon, after he punched Pang Zhou at the Investment Promotion Agency's entrance, he noticed the TV station's staff carrying the video camera. At that time, the Mayors of both Counties, Xie Huilan and Li Feng, are arguing. Although he knows this video clip cannot be aired on the news, he still recorded everything with his mobile phone. This is his habit as a news program's cameraman. The clip had also recorded what happened between Pang Zhou and Dong Xuebing.

Hospital.

The truth is out, and Li Feng was forced to speak out.

Li Feng suppressed his anger. "Secretary Xiang, this is a misunderstanding. I will investigate this incident thoroughly and give you all a satisfactory answer." He is implying he will take disciplinary actions against Pang Zhou.

Pang Zhou shouted anxiously. "Mayor Li! I was not pretending! I……"

Li Feng ignored Pang Zhou as this incident had embarrassed him, and his reputation is affected. He will not let Pang Zhou off lightly.

Li Feng's statement angered Yan Tai County's leaders further. Misunderstanding? If it's a misunderstanding, why did you come to our County to snatch our project and complained our staff to the City Government?! You even demanded us to visit you all at the hospital! Do you think this is over just because you claim this is a misunderstanding?!

Xiang Daofa stormed out of the ward with his secretary without saying a word.

Duan Zhengan looks at Pang Zhou. "Our County's Commission for Discipline Inspection should not interfere in this incident, but as one of our County Government's Leaders is involve, we must report to the higher-ups!" You all dare to instigate the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection to punish my staff?! We will do the same against you all! Using such a despicable trick to frame a Government Leader?! There's no way for Pang Zhou to get out of this! This video clip is the evidence, and no one can save him!

Cao Xupeng looks at Dong Xuebing, who had not said a word, and patted his back. "Xiao Dong, you had suffered grievances."

Dong Xuebing replied. "It's good that the truth is out. I had maintained my innocent, but no one believes me. Sigh… Huh?! Secretary Cao, Secretary Duan, I am not blaming you all. It's because Chief Pang's acting is too good. When I saw him spitting out blood and flew backward, I even thought I had hit him."

Cao Xupeng laughed. "You ah…"

Duan Zhengan also laughed and said in his heart. It's because of your bad reputation. If it was someone else, all of us would be suspicious as all Government staff have to discipline, and no one dares to hit a Section Chief in public. But because you are involved, everyone subconsciously concluded that you had hit him.

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Err… what about my punishment?"

Duan Zhengan thought for a while and went out to make a call. After the call, he told Dong Xuebing. "The punishment had been canceled. You will resume your position… Oh, the official document on your punishment had not been an issue yet. So, you cannot be considered resuming your duties, and it will not be recorded in your file."

Dong Xuebing smiled when he heard this. "I thank the Organization for being fair and impartial."

Cao Xupeng and Duan Zhengan discussed the cancelation of Dong Xuebing's punishment in front of Li Feng and Pang Zhou, who is still in the ward. This is disrespecting Da Feng County, and they did this on purpose. Both Counties have a poor relationship, and this incident infuriates everyone in Yan Tai County's Government. Even those who do not interact with Dong Xuebing are also mad with Da Feng County for accusing him!

After a while, everyone left the ward.

Li Feng is still a County Mayor after all, and Cao Xupeng and the rest did not continue to embarrass him. They left the hospital for the County Party Committee Office, but Dong Xuebing did not leave. His heart had stopped previously and almost died. This incident is finally over, and he decided to do a body check-up.

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

Dong Xuebing looked at his phone and smiled. "Mum."

"My colleague had shown me that video. Are you alright?" Luan Xiaoping asked worryingly.

"I am fine, of course. I am your son, and how can anything bad happen to me? I heard from Old Yang that you cried? Sigh… I am fine. It's that Pang Zhou who tried to frame me by pretending to be hit. I…"

"What pretend? Others might not know, but do you think you can fool me?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"If you had not hit that man, how can you remain so calm after he fell? Stop making me worry. How can you hit anyone you like? They are a department Chief and a Mayor!"

A mother knows her son best.

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat embarrassedly. "Err… can you don't tell anyone about it."

"…… I know."

It's 6 pm, and it is almost dark.

In the parking lot outside of the hospital, a black Mercedes Benz is parked there with its lights on. Peng Kenong is sitting in the driver's seat and seems to be waiting for someone. Suddenly, Li Feng walks over, and Peng Kenong quickly alights to receive him. They said something, and Mayor Li patted him on his back before boarding the car and leaving together. They seem to be going to Da Feng County.

Dong Xuebing looks at them coldly. The incident happened because Da Feng County had snatched their project, and he did not expect Li Feng to still dare to bring Peng Kenong back openly. Although Pang Zhou had been dealt with, he knows this is not over yet. A 10 million project was snatched away minutes before the contract is signed, and he will settle this score with Da Feng County.

"Dong Xuebing!"

Pang Zhou shouted behind Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing turns and smiled. "Chief Pang, why are you still here? Oh, I just saw Mayor Li leaving. Why didn't both of you go back together?"

Pang Zhou breathes heavily. "The heaven is watching! Don't think your little tricks can fool everyone! You should know if you hit me! I had recorded that video, and I will send it to the technology department to verify if it had been edited! I don't believe an edited video can fool everyone!" He knows Dong Xuebing had punched him as other than Dong Xuebing, no one else is near him. That video must be edited.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are right. Heaven is watching, and I am saying this to you. How many times have you used dirty tricks to frame me? Getting someone from Xin Hua News Agency to create trouble, instigating Liu Cheng to harass my elder, instigating Mayor Li to snatch our project?! Do you think you are allowed to do anything you want just because I had been ignoring you?! The video is edited?! Fine. Go and verify it! This time, no one can save you!"

Dong Xuebing felt framing Pang Zhou is not wrong.

This guy is asking for it! If you want to frame others, be prepared to be framed! Since you like to use underhand methods to frame me several times, you should be prepared that I will do the same to you. The world does not revolve around you, and why do you think no one will set you up after what you had done?

Who the f**k do you think you are?!

Dong Xuebing is giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Ring… ring… ring… Pang Zhou's phone rang, and he answered it. "Hello, Secretary Liu… I am still in Yan Tai County. You… What?!" Pang Zhou turns pale. "Secretary Liu, wait… this incident still has not been investigated. I… Hello? Secretary Liu? Hello?"

Dong Xuebing glanced at Pang Zhou. "The Commission for Discipline Inspection is inviting you over to have tea? Are you suspended?"

Pang Zhou ignored Dong Xuebing and stormed out of the hospital. He seems to be waiting for a taxi to go back.

Dong Xuebing knew he had made the right guess. Making false accusations against a fellow Civil Servant, faking a fall, and injuring Mayor Li. Not only Yan Tai County's leaders will not let him off, but Li Feng will also not forgive him. It will be a miracle if Pang Zhou is not suspended. These are the consequences of trying to be smart.

…….

Ten minutes later.

A car stopped beside Pang Zhou, and he boarded.

Tang Xiaojun, Yan Tai County Finance Department's Office Director, is in the car. He knew Pang Zhou for years and were classmates in Party School. They are close, but Pang Zhou had offended everyone, and Tang Xiaojun did not visit him at the hospital.

Tang Xiaojun looks at Pang Zhou. "Old Pang… sigh… How did you end up like this?"

Pang Zhou gritted. "Dong Xuebing had set me up!"

Tang Xiaojun knows this incident is suspicious. He knows Pang Zhou for years and knows he will not fake such an exaggerated fall when so many people are watching. If he is found out, he will surely be dismissed. Pang Zhou is not an impulsive person and will never gamble with his career. "You mean the video had been edited? But I heard after the video is released, it was sent to the technology department for verification. The outcome is… the video was recorded with a mobile phone and has not been edited."

Pang Zhou and Tang Xiaojun went quiet.

Within a few minutes, Pang Zhou looks like he aged several years. He leans back into the passenger seat. "Old Tang, I think this time I am finished. Mayor Li will not let me off!"

Tang Xiaojun sighed. "Why did you provoke him in the first place? He even dares to beat up and arrest our Party Secretary Xiang's relative and scold his Leaders in their faces when he is mad. Nothing good will happen if he is involved. This guy is the God of Plague. You… sigh…" The weird incidents at the Finance Department happened not long ago, and Tang Xiaojun shivered when he thought about that.

Weird things happen around Dong Xuebing!
