Chapter 588: Then don’t blame me!
Morning.
News of Nan Shan District Public Security Officers arresting Director Dong spreads. This cannot be covered up, and it caused an uproar within Guang Ming Subdistrict.
“Are you sure? What happened?”
“Did Director Dong commit intentional assault? Is he going to be charged?”
“I thought Director Dong and Director Guo were defending themselves?”
“You don’t know about it? Director Guo states in his statement that he was not involved. It was Director Dong who attacked the other party for no reason.”
“How can he say that? I heard it was Director Dong who saved him. Director Guo is too much.”
“Lower your voice. That is Chief Xue’s son. Director Guo must be pressured to give a false statement.”
“We don’t know anything as there are no other witnesses. Who knows what happened?”
Everyone is discussing this incident, and they know something big is going to happen!
Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang were discussing work in the latter’s office when they heard about this. Qu Yiqiang’s face changed, and Zhou Yanru got furious.
Guo Mingfeng had given a false statement?!
Director Dong is going to be charged?!
Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang had gotten close with Dong Xuebing after he was appointed as the Director. They might not understand their new Director well, but they know his working style. They know he will not and do not need to make up a story. Dong Xuebing might be rash and impulsive, but he dares to admit what he had done. That’s why they know Guo Mingfeng’s statement is false!
“Guo Mingfeng!” Zhou Yanru banged the table. She did not get along with the Geng Faction well. “What is he doing?! He is ungrateful!”
Qu Yiqiang added. “The Organization Department must have pressured him.”
Zhou Yanru replied. “But he should not stab Director Dong in his back! Where are his principles?!”
“Let’s go!” Qu Yiqiang cannot stand it. “Let’s go and see Director Dong!”
Zhou Yanru is mad. If Dong Xuebing is fired, her life will be miserable!
On their way downstairs, Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang saw Geng Xinke and Yu Rongfeng. They are also looking troubled, but Zhou Yanru knows they must be laughing in their hearts. If Dong Xuebing is sentenced, he will lose his position as the Subdistrict Office’s Chief. This position will surely go to Geng Xinke. Maybe it was Geng Xinke who asked Guo Mingfeng to give his false statement!
Subdistrict Office’s compound.
Dong Xuebing and a few Public Security Bureau Officers walked out of the side building towards the two parked Police cars.
“Director!” Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang walked over.
Dong Xuebing looked at them and smiled. He does not seem worried.
Zhou Yanru thought to herself. I am worried about you, but you are so calm. “Director, that incident has nothing to do with….”
“Alright. Go back to work.” Dong Xuebing patted Sister Zhou’s shoulder. “This is a small incident. Don’t be alarmed.”
Small incident?!
Zhou Yanru is speechless. You are going to be charged, and you call this a small incident?
Qu Yiqiang is impressed with Dong Xuebing’s reply. Who can remain calm if they are in his shoes?!
They don’t know what Dong Xuebing had gone through in the past two years. He was buried under a landslide and almost died. He had defused a timebomb to save Xie Huilan. He was accused of killing Li Hong because he had offended the County’s Party Secretary, and it was Huilan testified for him. Compared to all these things that happened to him, an intentional assault charge is nothing. He is used to it.
But being used to it does not mean Dong Xuebing will accept it. He might look calm, but he is burning with rage inside. He will make those who framed him pay!
Dong Xuebing entered the Police car, and the Police cars drove out of the Subdistrict Office.
On the way to the Station, Dong Xuebing looks at the Officer beside him. “Comrade, I would like to go to the District’s Second Hospital before going to the Station.”
The Officer hesitated for a second. “Why?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I should be allowed to speak to the parties involved first. If we can reach a private settlement, it will be settled.”
The Officer thought for a while and nodded. He said to the driver. “Go to the Second Hospital.”
“…… Sorry to trouble you.”
Such requests should not be allowed. It is as if Dong Xuebing is asking the Enforcement Unit’s Officers to be his driver. But the Team Leader did not reject his request because he does not know about Dong Xuebing’s background. Dong Xuebing’s car is worth over two million, and the registration plate is from Beijing. Although many registration plate numbers like 7777 and 9999 had been issued in the past, it was all the wealthy and powerful people who owned them. This means Dong Xuebing has a strong background. The Team Leader does not have high authority like the District Organization Department Chief. Xue Qingrong might not care about Dong Xuebing, but the Team Leader got to give the latter ‘face.’ That’s why he chose to turn a blind eye as long as it is not against the rules. He got to try and avoid offending both sides.
Second Hospital.
Osteopathy Ward.
Two Officers entered the ward to explain the situation before coming out and let Dong Xuebing enter. They closed the door.
There are three people in the ward. Xue Qingrong, Xue Xiaoliang, and Director Wu.
Director Wu is telling Xue Qingrong about the treatment proposal for Xue Xiaoliang when the Officers come in to tell them about Dong Xuebing’s intentions. But Director Wu pretended not to have heard anything and continued to speak to Xue Qingrong after Dong Xuebing entered the ward. “We will monitor his condition first. Surgery is not required now, and we will finalize his medical treatment proposal tomorrow. What else do you need?”
Xue Qingrong nodded. “That’s about it.”
“Alright. Let me know if you need anything. I will leave now.”
“Thank you, Director Wu.”
“It’s my job.” Director Wu walked past Dong Xuebing without looking at him.
Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. Are you that desperate to suck up to the Leaders? You are only a Deputy Director of the hospital! Who are you to show me such attitude?!
Only Dong Xuebing, Xue Rongqing, and his son remain in the ward.
Xue Xiaoliang, who was lying on the bed, laughed. “I thought the Police had arrested you? Why are you not at the Station? Are you going to be charged?! How many years will you be sentenced?” He laughed and coughed.
How can a Government Leader’s son have such an attitude?
Dong Xuebing is disgusted by Xue Xiaoliang and looks at Xue Qingrong. “Chief Xue.”
Xue Qingrong interrupted Dong Xuebing. “Speak to the Police if you have anything to say. Xiaoliang needs to rest. Get out!”
“We both know what happened.” Dong Xuebing looks at Xue Qingrong in his eyes. “Chief Xue, do you think this is meaningful? Your son had attacked others with a weapon, and you instigated him to give a false statement? Is this how you bring up your son? I can’t believe this is what the District’s Organization Department Chief should do!”
Xue Qingrong looks at Dong Xuebing coldly. “The evidence had shown who the attacker is! Dong Xuebing! You will pay for your crimes!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. Xue Qingrong can lie without blushing.
Xue Xiaoliang knows the Police Officers are outside, and he is mindful of his words. “When did I attack others?! Ah?! Do you have evidence? I was smoking along the road, and you attacked me for no reason. How can you claim I had attacked you?! Guo Mingfeng is my witness! Stop pretending you are innocent! You have to pay for your crimes!”
How dare you say this?! Dong Xuebing continued. “Then let’s discuss the compensation. Chief Xue, how much do you want to settle this?”
Xue Xiaoliang interrupted. “It must be at least 300,000 for the medical fees!”
300,000?! You are asking for too much! You attacked me with a baton, and I still have to give you 300,000?!
Dong Xuebing is speechless, but he still asks. “300,000 for private settlement?”
Xue Xiaoliang was about to say something, but Xue Qingrong interrupted. “You should pay for the medical fees, and we don’t need any compensation! We will not agree to a private settlement!”
Xue Xiaoliang heard his father and stopped talking.
Xue Qingrong had made it clear that they didn’t want any compensation and would not agree to a private settlement. He wants Dong Xuebing to be charged in court! He is determined to bring down Dong Xuebing. Not only did he threaten Guo Mingfeng to testify for Xue Xiaoliang, and he still wanted Dong Xuebing to pay the hospital fees, get fired, and be charged in court.
Xue Rongqing and Xue Xiaoliang had gone overboard!
Dong Xuebing could not tolerate it anymore. “I had given in, but you all don’t accept it. Then don’t blame me!”
