Chapter 1233 – Scared of Xiao Dong
Night.
Hotel. Presidential Suite.
Shen Xiaoyan continued to persuade Dong Xuebing, but the latter refused to leave. He will not leave without Zhang Longjuan.
“Mr. Dong.”
“You don’t need to say anymore.”
“Why are you… sigh…”
“Sorry, I will not give in.”
“You are making this difficult for me.”
Zhang Longjuan was yawning and smoking when she turned and smiled suddenly. “Let Xiao Dong stay. I know him well. He can keep secrets. We don’t need to hide anything from him as he worked in the State Security Bureau before. Also, we don’t need to worry about our safety with him around. Haha…”
Shen Xiaoyan replied. “It’s not that simple. This is a State Security Bureau mission, and Mr. Dong is no longer with State Security. Even though he worked in the bureau before, he was an administrative staff. He handles administrative work and does not have access to our missions.”
Zhang Longjuan retorted. “I am also not a State Security member.”
Shen Xiaoyan replied. “You are different. The higher-up appointed you for this mission.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “It’s the same. If I can be here, so can Xiao Dong. You all are too rigid.”
“This is our regulation.”
“People set rules, and I am in charge of this mission.”
“The higher-ups told us to follow your orders, but we cannot agree to let Mr. Dong join this mission. It is against our protocol.” Shen Xiaoyan said. “The higher-up did mention he is reliable, but this is not an overseas mission. Many rules bound us.”
Dong Xuebing looked at her. “Do you think I will leak your mission?”
Shen Xiaoyan shook her head. “I know you will not betray us, but rules are rules.”
Zhang Longjuan said. “All right. How about you call your Chief and seek his permission?”
Shen Xiaoyan hesitated for a second and nodded. She sighed. “All right.”
If someone else insisted on joining their mission, Shen Xiaoyan and her sister would forcefully stop that person. They cannot allow outsiders to participate in their missions. But it is Dong Xuebing. He eliminated twenty hooligans despite his injuries, and the twins know they were not his match.
Ring… ring…
Shen Xiaoyan walked away to make the call. “Chief.”
The middle-aged man asked. “What is it?”
Shen Xiaoyan replied. “Mr. Dong is awake, and I told him what you said. He insists on staying with us to protect Ms. Zhang.”
“Let Ms. Zhang speak to him.”
“But… Ms. Zhang wants him to stay.”
“Nonsense!”
“That’s why I am seeking your advice.”
“This is an important mission. How can you bring an outsider along?”
“I think so too. But Mr. Dong refused.”
“Didn’t I tell you to handle the situation?”
Shen Xiaoyan knows what her Chief means. He is asking them to ditch Dong Xuebing. If they cannot ditch him, they can drug him. However, Dong Xuebing saved her and her sister. She cannot do this to him.
“Chief.”
“All right. Pass the phone to Ms. Zhang.”
Shen Xiaoyan returned to Zhang Longjuan. “Chief wants to speak to you.”
Zhang Longjuan was about to take the phone when Dong Xuebing reached for it.
Shen Xiaoyan has quick reflexes. She quickly turned her wrist and retracted her hand.
However, Shen Xiaoyan was facing Dong Xuebing. When she thought she had dodged Dong Xuebing’s hand, she realized her hand was empty. She turned and looked at Dong Xuebing in shock. He was holding her phone. Even though he is severely injured and needs others to support him when he walks, he is still faster than most people.
Dong Xuebing answered the phone. “I am Dong Xuebing.”
The middle-aged man frowned. “Where is Ms. Zhang?”
Dong Xuebing said calmly. “You don’t need to ask Ms. Zhang to persuade me. You all should know me. No one can make me leave if I say I am not leaving.”
The middle-aged man had a headache. “You are causing trouble for us.”
“Who is causing trouble now?” Dong Xuebing does not care if the other party holds a higher rank. “Ms. Zhang made it clear she is not a State Security member and is only funding your missions. Is that not enough? How can you make her travel so far to do your mission? Luckily, I came here in time to save her. I don’t care about your mission. It has nothing to do with me. But Sis Zhang is my friend, and I do not allow her to be in danger. I am warning you. I will not let you all off if anything happens to Sis Zhang because of this mission.”
Most people who know Dong Xuebing will think he is hot-tempered. But those who understand him will know he does not get angry over trivial matters quickly. However, he is angry this time. If he arrived one day later, Liu Ye would have captured Zhang Longjuan. He can guess what would happen to her if it happened. Luckily, he was around and managed to save her. He was raging when he thought about it. He vented his anger on this Chief. She would not be in trouble if they did not ask Ms. Zhang to do this mission in Hong Kong.”
Shen Xiaomei and Shen Xiaoyan were shocked when they saw Dong Xuebing raising his voice at their Chief.
Zhen Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing with a smile.
The middle-aged man got mad. “You dare to threaten us? Huh?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “You can think of it as a threat. You should know if I can do it.”
The middle-aged man’s head hurts more. “Although we asked Ms. Zhang to do this mission, we did not force her. She agreed to do it.”
“I don’t care. I had warned you.”
“Who are you to meddle with the State Security matters?”
“I have no right to meddle with the State Security’s mission. If anything happens to my friend, I will tear down the State Security. You can try if I mean it.”
The twin sisters were dumbfounded. Dong Xuebing is challenging State Security!
Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei quickly called. “Mr. Dong.” They do not want to see Dong Xuebing offending the State Security’s higher-ups.
The middle-aged man was mad and amused by Dong Xuebing. This guy is unreasonable and would turn State Security upside-down if anything happened to Zhang Longjuan.
This Dong Xuebing…
He is a gangster, just like the rumors.
The middle-aged man had heard about Dong Xuebing, and this was their first interaction. He understood why people call him the God of Plagues and why his superiors have headaches when they hear his name.
There is nothing wrong with acting like a gangster or being unreasonable.
State Security will not have headaches because of these reasons.
But this unreasonable gangster is a government leader with superb combat skills, and the Xie Family is behind him.
They cannot suppress him or teach him a lesson. They cannot do anything to Dong Xuebing.
“I said what I wanted.” Dong Xuebing said. “I prefer to make things clear. Ok. I will pass the phone back to Sister Yan.”
Dong Xuebing returned the phone to Shen Xiaoyan.
Shen Xiaoyan took it. “Chief.”
The middle-aged man kept quiet.
Shen Xiaoyan said cautiously. “Mr. Dong said those things because he is concerned for Ms. Zhang’s safety. Err… our mission…”
The middle-aged man thought for a while. “Let him follow if he wants. You don’t need to care about him.”
“Let him follow us?”
“Just do what you are supposed to do. He can tag along if he wants.”
“Huh? I understand. Should we tell him what our mission is?”
The middle-aged man said after a short pause. “You can tell him and let him be prepared. You two must watch him closely. Don’t let him create any trouble. I am warning you as you all don’t know about him.”
Shen Xiaoyan said to Dong Xuebing after hanging up. “Chief says you can stay if you want.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. He knows State Security will agree because of Xie Family.
However, Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei noticed many details from this phone call. Dong Xuebing dared to raise his voice at a State Security Senior Leader, and the Chief gave in to his demands. The Chief is scared of him.
Why is their Chief scared of Dong Xuebing?
What happened?
Why is their Chief giving in to Dong Xuebing?
