Power and Wealth

Chapter 877 – I will show you the real Dong Xuebing today

Afternoon.

Liu Yang Restaurant, fourth floor.

Private room 28 had been cleaned, and the window had been fixed.

Wan Sizhao entered the room and looked around. He sat on a chair and lit a cigarette.

Dong Xuebing followed behind. He did not close the door and sat opposite Wan Sizhao. He was also looking around the room. This was the place where Wan Sizhao assaulted and tried to rape her. He noticed a blood stain on the window. Aunt Xuan must have cut herself when jumping out. That was her blood. He can imagine what happened in this room that day.

Wan Sizhao asked suddenly. “Director Dong, why did you call me out today?”

Dong Xuebing lighted a cigarette. “The food is not here. What’s the rush?”

“Alright.” Wan Sizhao laughed. “We can talk while eating. It’s my honor to have lunch with our Fen Zhou City’s earthquake hero.”

The food was served after a few minutes.

Xu Dabing was worried and came to check. “Chief Wan, Director Dong, these are our signature dishes. Let me know if you need anything.”

Wan Sizhao waved his hand. “That’s all.”

“Please enjoy your lunch.” Xu Dabing treated Wan Sizhao as if the latter were his father. He left the room and did not close the door behind him.

Dong Xuebing smirked as he looked at Xu Dabing leave the room.

This guy is a businessman. He is only concerned about profits and his self-interest. Dong Xuebing might hold a high rank in the City, but he was new and in the Discipline Commission. Xu Dabing will not get any help from him. Wan Sizhao was different. He is Secretary Wan’s nephew, and all the leaders in the City had to suck up to him. with his help, the restaurant’s business will strive. Dong Xuebing understood what he was thinking, but there’s a limit to everything. He should not give a false statement and accused Yunxuan of making a false report. She was beaten up, almost raped, and critically injured. How can Xu Dabing work with the Investigation Team to play down this case?

Since this is your choice, don’t blame me for playing dirty.

Dong Xuebing did use despicable ways against his enemies, but it was not for his interest, like promotion or money. He used it to deal with those bad guys and was doing the same thing back to them. It was for justice. This was Dong Xuebing’s difference from Xu Dabing, Wan Sizhao, and the rest. He had never claimed to be noble or make any mistakes, but he would never cross the line.

Suddenly, the sounds of people talking along the corridor were heard.

“Oh, Officer Sun, Officer Zhang, Officer Chen.”

“Boss Xu. Where is Team Leader Li?”

“Team Leader Li is having lunch in a private room. Please follow me. He had booked a room for you all.

It was Xu Dabing talking to a few officers.

Interesting. Dong Xuebing looked out of the door and smiled.

When the few officers walked past Room 28, they saw Dong Xuebing and Wan Sizhao inside and were shocked.

Why are Dong Xuebing and Wan Sizhao having lunch?

But the officers pretended not to see them and walked away quickly.

Xu Dabing brought to officers to the private room next to Room 28. This was arranged by Li Taibo.

A serious case happened on the fourth floor. Although this floor was reopened today, no customers wanted to dine there. Only three private rooms on this floor were occupied. Dong Xuebing and Wan Sizhao were in one of them, and Luo Haiting and Li Taibo were in another room. The police officers were in the third room.

Dong Xuebing knew Li Taibo sent the officers to protect Wan Sizhao. Other people might not know about his fighting capabilities, but the Public Security Bureau’s staff had heard of him. Li Taibo was afraid Dong Xuebing might harm Wan Sizhao.

Li Taibo and his lackeys….

Dong Xuebing’s anger started building up again.

Where were you all when Yunxuan’s incident happened? Where were you all during the investigation against Wan Sizhao? Li Taibo knew Wan Sizhao was the culprit, yet he covered up for him. Instead of upholding justice, Xu Dabing made a false statement and got worried when he knew Dong Xuebing wanted to have lunch with Wan Sizhao. He even arranged for the officers to dine in the next room. You are seeking your death!

Dong Xuebing took out his notebook and flipped to the page with the three names. He crossed out Wan Sizhao’s name and circled Li Taibo and Xu Dabing’s names.

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

It was Discipline Inspection’s Office Director Gao Wenrong.

“Director Gao.” Dong Xuebing answered. “What is it?”

Gao Wenrong said. “Director Dong, the Discipline Commission’s afternoon meeting had been brought forward to 12.40 pm. It might be a long meeting because of the coming Lunar New Year.”

“Oh, 12.40 pm. Ok. I know.”

The meeting had been brought forward to 12.40 pm, which was slightly more than twenty minutes from now.

Dong Xuebing calculated the time in his mind and nodded. He walked to the door and closed it. He locked it from inside. From now onwards, he will not let anyone enter the room. He started eating after he returned to his seat, ignoring Wan Sizhao.

Wan Sizhao laughed and started eating.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

All the food was served, and no one bothered them.

Wan Sizhao looked at his watch and asked. “Director Dong, it is almost 12.40 pm. Didn’t you have something on at the Discipline Commission?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I almost forgot about it.”

Wan Sizhao sighed and said. “Although we are not far from the Party Committee Building, you will be late even if you leave now.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Not really.”

Wan Sizhao shook his head and decided to stop messing with him. “Let’s talk. Why did you ask me out for lunch? If you are asking about Qu Yunxuan’s case, I will tell you what happened again. This is the last time I am talking about this case. She needed a favor from me and invited me out for dinner that day. She got drunk and jumped out of the window. It was not my fault. How can she accuse me of hitting her and trying to rape her? Haha….”

Dong Xuebing looked at Wan Sizhao. “We had received a few complaints against you over these few years, and those were all….”

Wan Sizhao interrupted Dong Xuebing. “I know about those complaints. The Investigation Team had investigated, and all of them were false accusations. Sigh…. These women immediately accused me of raping them after we broke up. What is the world becoming? I did not know Qu Yunxuan was your cousin before that incident. She is very pretty compared to all the women I met. Only our Deputy City Mayor Xie is as pretty as her. You are so lucky. Haha…. Let’s stay in touch in the future.”

Dong Xuebing sneered. “Future?”

Wan Sizhao smiled and nodded. “I decided to go after Yunxuan after today. Tell her to call me after she is discharged. I will invite her to dinner again.”

Dong Xuebing frowned. Wan Sizhao’s arrogance amused him.

This bastard is not giving up on Yunxuan.

Is this trying to show me his strength and that he can do whatever he wants? Did he think he was above the law?

Outside.

Luo Haiting’s voice sounded along the corridor. “Boss Xu. Come and have a drink with us.”

Xu Dabing replied. “Director Luo, I cannot hold my alcohol well.”

“Come over. Team Leader Li is waiting for you.”

“Alright….”

Dong Xuebing received an SMS from Luo Haiting the next second. “Li Taibo and Xu Dabing are in the private room as you instructed.”

Dong Xuebing immediately reply. “Let them drink in the room, and you leave for the bathroom immediately.

Luo Haiting replied. “Now?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Now. Delete the SMS and don’t return within ten minutes.”

Luo Haiting replied. “I know.”

Dong Xuebing overhead Luo Haiting outside. “You two can drink first. I am going to the bathroom.”

Luo Haiting’s footstep sounds disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Dong Xuebing was waiting for this moment. He looked at his watch. It was 12.38 pm. Although it was two minutes away from his meeting, it was enough for him to attend the meeting in time.

Dong Xuebing smiled at Wan Sizhao. “I am afraid you will never get to invite Yunxuan to dinner.”

Wan Sizhao smirked. “Let’s have a bet. I can win Yunxuan’s heart.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Do you think you can do whatever you want because of your uncle? Haha…. I shall show you the real me today!”

STOP!
