Power and Wealth

Noon.

County Party Committee Family Quarters. Dong Xuebing parked his car at his apartment building but did not alight.

Xiang Renjie and his ugly dog had bid farewell to his friends and are walking into quarters. At around the same time, Hu Silian noticed Dong Xuebing's car and quickly walked to him after locking her electric bike.

Dong Xuebing is plotting how to get back at Xiang Daofa and does not want to be exposed. He immediately calls Hu Silian with his mobile phone.

Ring… ring… Hu Silian took out her phone and was surprised to see Dong Xuebing's number. She looked in Dong Xuebing's direction and answered. "Hello?"

"Sister Hu, do me a favor."

"Xuebing, what are you trying to do? Don't…"

"I know. Err… can you see Xiang Renjie? He seems to be going home. Please help me to stall him for a while. Just find a random topic to chat with him and stop him from going upstairs."

"Stall him? What do you mean?"

"Just stall him for a while."

Hu Silian asked. "What are you going to do? Can you tell me first? Mayor Xie will scold me if anything happens. Xuebing, we have known each other for almost two years. Don't get me into trouble." A secretary's job is not easy. She has her work and still must do things for her Leader's family, especially if the Leader has a relative like Chief Dong.

"I will not get you into trouble. Just go, please."

Hu Silian had no choice, and she hung up. She turned and called out to Xiang Renjie. "Are you Renjie?"

Xiang Renjie stopped and looked at Hu Silian. "Who are you?"

Hu Silian smiles. "I am Hu Silian. Mayor Xie's secretary."

Xiang Renjie frowned. Even if he does not know a lot about politics, he knows who his father's rival is. He heard that Xie Huilan had brought lots of trouble to his father after transferring to Yan Tai County. He does not like Hu Silian immediately. "Oh… I know you. You are previously from the Public Security Bureau, right? What is it?"

The big yellow dog will bark at everyone. When Hu Silian came closer, he immediately rushes out and starts growling and barking at her.

Hu Silian got a fright and took two steps back.

The dog chased after her. "Grr… Woof! Woof!"

Most owners will stop their dogs in such a scenario, but Xiang Renjie did not. He stood there with a smile as he watched his dog barking and pouncing towards Hu Silian.

Hu Silian is looking terrible. What is the meaning of this? Are you asking your dog to bite me?

After letting his dog scare Hu Silian for a while, Xiang Renjie laughed and shouted. "Da Huang! Come back!"

Xiang Renjie is feeling good after teaching Mayor Xie's staff a lesson.

Although Hu Silian is angry, she will not argue with a kid.

Dong Xuebing is furious. If it were in the past, he would have rushed over and kicked that dog to death. But he had gotten matured after so many things, and he suppressed his anger.

Suddenly, a County Party Committee vehicle entered the quarters.

It is Xiang Daofa's car! He is here!

All the grudges resurfaced in Dong Xuebing's mind. After he was transferred to Yan Tai County, he had never done anything wrong to Xiang Daofa. If he had not found those photographs, the former Party Secretary Chang would not be removed. Xiang Daofa might not even be the Party Secretary after three years. Dong Xuebing had also made significant results when he was in the Public Security Bureau and the Investment Promotion Agency. Xiang Daofa benefited from it. But in return, he tried to backstab Dong Xuebing several times, snatch his credits and remove him from his position. Who can stand such an ungrateful person?!

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes and watched them. Xiang Daofa's car stopped in front of the building, and he descended.

Xiang Daofa is in a good mood today. His son, who had left after throwing a tantrum, had returned, and the person in charge of the investment fair had been changed to his man. Xiang Renjie's back is facing his father when he talks to Hu Silian and does not see him. But the ugly dog saw him and ran over, without Xiang Renjie or anyone noticing him.

Dong Xuebing has been waiting for this moment. He thought to himself. "It's not so easy to take away my power!"

There is a price to pay for doing these to me!

STOP!

Time stopped! Sparrows were flying across the sky, the breeze, and all noises stopped.

After buying the lottery, Dong Xuebing doesn't have much time remaining and doesn't want to waste it. He immediately alighted from his car and ran over to that drooling dog. He smiled and carried it over to Xiang Daofa, who had just alighted. He positioned the dog behind Xiang Daofa and pried open its mouth. After that, he clamped the dog's jaws on Xiang Daofa's calf.

This is the family quarters, and many people are around.

Dong Xuebing is worried others might notice the dog's awkward position. He purposely positioned the dog in a position that will be blocked by Xiang Daofa's car.

Everything is ready!

Dong Xuebing quickly ran back to his Santana and mumbled STOP!

……

……

Time resumed!

Suddenly, there is a loud cry. Xiang Daofa shouted out in pain. "Arrrhh…."

Xiang Daofa's shout attracted many people's attention. Xiang Renjie and Hu Silian turned towards that direction, and many people opened their windows to see what happened. Everyone is shocked by what they saw. Damn! Secretary Xiang is bitten by a dog!

Only Dong Xuebing can come up with this evil plan to let Xiang Daofa get bitten by his ferocious dog, and he is the only person who can do that.

Xiang Daofa is stunned. Da Huang is his family's precious pet, and he had treated him like his own son. He looked down after he felt the piercing pain around his ankle and saw Da Huang biting him. This is unbelievable, and he instinctively kicked him away. But it was too late as blood is already flowing down his socks.

"Dad!"

"Secretary Xiang!"

Xiang Renjie and other staff staying in the quarters are shocked.

Xiang Daofa is in pain, as it was a powerful bite!

Dogs will turn aggressive when triggered, and they will not care about how well you had treated them in the past. Da Huang is currently in this state of mind after Xiang Daofa kicked him. It immediately growled and pounced onto his leg to try to bite him!

"Da Huang! Come back!" Xiang Renjie shouted as he ran over.

Dong Xuebing is overjoyed as Xiang Daofa is having a taste of his own medicine.

Dong Xuebing knew this would happen, and he is much faster than Xiang Renjie. He immediately got out of his car and ran over. "Secretary Xiang! Be careful!"

Xiang Daofa is furious. "Da Huang! What are you doing?!"

"Grrrr!" Da Huang growled and opened its jaws!

Dong Xuebing rushed over and was about to kick Da Huang as if he is taking a penalty shot. "Stupid dog! How dare you bite Secretary Xiang?!"

"Stop!" Xiang Daofa shouted at Dong Xuebing!

Will Dong Xuebing listen to Xiang Daofa and stop? Impossible! His kick had already landed on that ferocious dog. Bam! Da Huang flew more than two meters away from the impact and laid there twitching. It's too late to save him. Everyone knows about Dong Xuebing's combat skills, and even a grown man cannot take his kick, let alone a dog.

"Da Huang!" Xiang Renjie's eyes were all red when he reached.

Dong Xuebing gave Xiang Renjie a stare. "To hell with Da Huang! Your dog bites your father, and you only care about it instead of your father?! What kind of son are you?! Ah?!"

Xiang Daofa shouted furiously. "Dong Xuebing! What are you doing?!" He cannot control his temper after seeing his beloved pet kicked to death in front of him by Dong Xuebing.

Xiang Renjie screamed. "Who ask you to touch Da Huang?! Ah?! Da Huang!" He is very close to his dog.

Dong Xuebing is laughing in his heart. "Secretary Xiang, that ferocious dog is biting you, and I had come over to save you. What have I done wrong?! I know you dislike me, but this… Fine! Just treat it as I am a busybody! I should not have interfered, and I am asking for it!" He took out his wallet and took out a stack of notes which is more than 2 thousand RMB, and threw it on the floor. "This is the money for your dog! I am compensating your dog now!"

After throwing the money on the floor, Dong Xuebing stormed into the building!

Dong Xuebing has a way with words. Many people in the Quarters had him and thought to themselves.

What Chief Dong did is not wrong and is even honorable!

Xiang Daofa had just taken away Xiao Dong's position as the Leader of the investment fair. Yet Xiao Dong still goes and rescues him from that dog. But he was blamed for what he did by that father and son, and he still must compensate for that dog. How can they do this? Even if Xiao Dong's kick is too powerful, but what can he do? He can't reason with a crazy dog. Do you think that aggressive dogs will stop biting after you tell it about socialist ideologies?
