Power and Wealth
Chapter 1379 – You guys are dead
In the hospital.
Dong Xuebing went in, and the nurse followed.
“Could you please step out for a moment?” Dong Xuebing looked at her. “I have something to discuss with my wife.”
The nurse’s expression froze for a moment. She said, “Oh,” a bit startled by Dong Xuebing. “If there’s anything, just ring the bell.”
He closed the door behind her, took a deep breath, and sat at the bedside. His mind was almost blank, and his blood seemed boiling. It felt like every pore in his body was boiling with anger, unable to stop. He thought of the image of his wife being pushed down in the strong wind, the image of his wife covering her stomach in pain, and the image of Li Zhixin sitting leisurely outside the rescue room. He even thought of the people from Cheng Gang County yelling and scolding at him.
He was furious.
His anger was uncontrollable.
At this moment, Dong Xuebing’s rage could not be described in words. It was no longer a simple conflict or political struggle. If it weren’t for his wife’s good fortune and his child’s luck, both mother and child would have been lost. This was a deep-seated hatred, a blood feud.
“What are you thinking?” Xie Huilan woke up, leaning against the bedside and looking at him. Her injuries seemed to be much better now as she could half-sit up, but she still spoke with a slight interruption as if lacking strength. Dong Xuebing had only used “REVERSE” to restore his wife’s stomach, and the other injuries had not been addressed, so recovery would take some time.
“Nothing.” Dong Xuebing reached for her hand.
Xie Huilan said, “I heard what Old Liao and the others said.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Who pushed you? Tell me.”
Xie Huilan also squeezed his hand. “At that time, the sandstorm was too strong. I couldn’t see clearly. I was pushed on the shoulder, and then I fell. After that, I didn’t know anything.” She paused and continued, “You don’t need to worry. Once I am out of the hospital, I will handle it. Right now, I’m just worried about the child. If there are any consequences, even if we save it, there might still be issues after birth.”
Dong Xuebing said, “Rest assured, I promise the child won’t be affected. Don’t forget, I’m a doctor too. Trust me, and don’t worry.”
There would indeed be aftereffects.
But “REVERSE” had already taken effect, and there would be no issues.
Now, the child in his wife’s belly had been restored to the state it was in a day ago, without any injuries.
Xie Huilan nodded slightly. “That’s good. Um, where did the people from Cheng Gang County go?”
“I don’t know.” Dong Xuebing said with a dark expression, “After you were saved, I didn’t see them anymore. Think about it, who pushed you back then.”
Xie Huilan shook her head. “I can’t remember.”
“Then they’re all involved. Okay, I understand.” Dong Xuebing said sternly, “You don’t need to worry about it. None of them can escape.”
“Wait until I’m discharged. I’ll handle it.”
“Take good care of yourself, and leave the rest to me.”
Whenever Dong Xuebing was about to make trouble or conflict with someone, Xie Huilan would advise him to be mindful of the impact or stay calm. However, this time, Xie Huilan didn’t stop him. Cheng Gang County’s actions also angered her. Perhaps if she got injured, she wouldn’t react this way, but the child was almost lost. Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan would be strange if they didn’t get angry as a couple. “Can you handle it?”
Dong Xuebing said, “What do you think?”
Xie Huilan nodded. “Good, you’re good at handling such things. I won’t argue with you about it.”
Dong Xuebing carefully avoided the wound on her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “If I don’t ruin their reputation and make them pay, I’ll change my surname to theirs!”
Xie Huilan agreed, “There were seven people at that time. County Mayor Li Zhixin, his secretary, and others I don’t know. All of them were from the new County Party Committee building project committee and a construction company representative who was inspecting with them.”
Dong Xuebing said, “A construction company’s leader and six county officials. Okay, I got it.”
“A bit tired.” Xie Huilan rubbed her eyelids. “I want to take a nap.”
“You rest well.” Dong Xuebing helped her lie down on the bed. “Take a nap. I’ll tell you what happened when you wake up.”
“Okay.” Xie Huilan closed her eyes.
Dong Xuebing didn’t leave. Instead, he sat on the bed, holding his wife’s hand. After comforting her to sleep, he got up and left the ward, gently closing the door behind him.
Ring, ring, ring…
The phone rang.
Without checking the number, Dong Xuebing answered, “Hello, who is this?”
“It’s Jiang Fangfang.” It was Mayor Jiang calling, her voice filled with concern. “I heard from Cheng Gang County that your wife fell and got seriously injured.”
“Fell?” Dong Xuebing’s face turned cold.
“Not a fall?” Jiang Fangfang said, “What exactly happened?”
Dong Xuebing said angrily, “Huilan just escaped from a life-threatening situation, and the child was barely saved. It wasn’t a fall. When they escaped from the construction site at the new County Party Committee building, the wind blew some construction materials down. Li Zhixin and a group of officials from Chenggang County ran away, and my wife was hit and knocked down.”
There was silence on the other end for a moment. “Are you sure?”
“Very sure,” Dong Xuebing said. “Comrades from Fen Zhou City witnessed it.”
Jiang Fangfang probably understood and said, “Cheng Gang County reported to the city that your wife fell on her own, causing bleeding.”
“That’s how they reported it to the city?”
“Yes. Li Zhixin, the County Mayor, reported it.”
Fen Zhou City was there for research, so incidents like this had to be reported.
Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing laughed bitterly out of anger. “What a clean way to shift responsibility.” He didn’t expect Cheng Gang County to be so despicable from top to bottom.
Jiang Fangfang immediately said, “Wait for me. I’m coming over now.”
Dong Xuebing appreciated Jiang Fangfang’s good intentions but replied, “Thank you, but you don’t need to. This is something I, as a husband and father, can handle.”
“What if they insist it has nothing to do with them? How will you handle it?” Jiang Fangfang asked.
“I have witnesses on my side, and I will gather evidence,” Dong Xuebing said. There was something he didn’t say. Even if there was no evidence, he had his ways to make those bastards die without knowing how.
After hanging up this call, many more calls came in – from Pu An, Yao Cui, Jian Xiangrong, Lu Zhi, and others. Everyone knew that County Mayor Dong’s wife and child were in trouble.
However, Dong Xuebing didn’t say much to them, quickly ending the calls. His gaze turned chilling as he looked towards the not-so-distant new County Party Committee office building, visible from where he stood.
Last time, you intentionally sent villagers to block our way and attack us. I let it go. But this time, you almost killed my wife and child.
Li Zhixin…
Cheng Gang County…
You’re finished. None of you will escape!
