Evening.
Chenggang County.
Hotel. Room.
Dong Xuebing sat on the sofa, eating and drinking. The TV in front of the bed is also playing the news, and he kept watching it. It's almost time for the news, but Chenggang County's TV station did not report about what happened in the afternoon. Dong Xuebing shook his head and took a sip of wine before changing the channel to Meihe City's news channel.
The moment he changed the channel, the news came on.
The news showed the ruined Chenggang County's Party Committee Building.
The average-looking female streamer said, "It is reported that an office building collapsed in Chenggang County at about two o 'clock this afternoon. This is an office building of the county committee and county government. Because it has not been built yet, there was no staff in the building at the time. The specific cause of the accident is still under investigation."
That was it. There was nothing else.
Dong Xuebing watched the news for a while before switching off the TV. He knew he could not get any news from the TV station and wanted to make a phone call. But when he took out his phone, he realized his phone had run out of battery. He had come in a hurry and did not bring a charger with him. He tried using the hotel's phone, but it seems he can only make calls on the internal line. Dong Xuebing changed his clothes and went downstairs to find a public phone. He thought for a while and decided to call Mayor Jiang's secretary, Li Xiaona. Dong Xuebing had wanted to ask Yao Cui, but Yao Cui had only become Dong Xuebing's secretary after he took office, and she does not have many connections. Li Xiaona had been Mayor Jiang's secretary for several years and has many connections. She is also the County's second-in-command's secretary.
Ring … ring … ring …
The line got through.
"Hello?" Li Xiaona answered.
"Secretary Li, I'm Dong Xuebing." Dong Xuebing replied.
"Mayor Dong?" Li Xiaona quickly asked. "Where are you?"
"I'm still in Chenggang County."
"Ah … are you alright?"
"I'm fine. What's wrong?"
"I heard Chenggang County's Party Committee Building had collapsed. Mayor Jiang and Secretary Yao had called you several times in the afternoon, and your phone …"
"Sigh … I forgot to bring my charger."
"Oh, I see. Secretary Yao is worried sick. Mayor Jiang is also worried about you. He called me just now and asked me to ask the people in Chenggang County where you are. I haven't had time to call them yet."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Later, you and her … Don't. Forget it. I'll call Mr. Jiang later. By the way, I want to ask about the situation in Chenggang County. What message did you receive? Why didn't the news report such a big thing? "
"We're still investigating, so a lot of information should be confidential." Li Xiaona said, "The news from my side is … those people from the construction company and the construction team, a few of the people in charge ran away in the afternoon. In the end, only one of them was caught. The rest of them have not been found."
"Ran away?"
"Yes, he ran away after he knew the building was going to collapse."
Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. He knew there must be something fishy about the construction of the County's Party Committee Office Building. If not, they can just wait for the investigation. Why did they all run away? There must be something else that others didn't know. "And then? Anything else? "
Li Xiaona replied. "Mayor Li is blind, and Deputy Mayor Wang had knocked his head on the floor. They are still unconscious." She paused for a while. "I just received news that the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection had sent someone to arrest all the people from Chenggang County's headquarters. Mayor Li, Deputy Mayor Wang, and the rest are in the hospital because they are injured. That's why we did not take action against them. But they will not be able to run away. The City's Commission for Discipline Inspection had sent someone to the hospital, and the construction company was arrested by the City Police."
"They took action so soon?"
"That's right. Even Chenggang County's Party Committee Secretary was called in by the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Dong Xuebing nodded.
Li Xiaona sighed. "This is not a small matter. Without any objective factors, the entire office building collapsed. There must be a problem. Chenggang County is in a mess this time. At least a dozen leaders and cadres will be implicated in this incident. There's going to be a big change."
After understanding the situation, Dong Xuebing asked Li Xiaona for Jiang Fangfang's number. Secretary Li's number is 898989, and Dong Xuebing memorized it. But Jiang Fangfang's number is a mess, and her phone is out of battery. Dong Xuebing can't remember it.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing called Jiang Fangfang to let her know he is safe.
Dong Xuebing also called Yao Cui to tell her not to worry.
Back at the hotel, Dong Xuebing had settled everything and vented his anger. There's no point for Dong Xuebing to stay, so he packed his things and left.
When Dong Xuebing passed by the new County Party Committee Compound, he saw a few Officers guarding there with searchlights on. Someone from the City is investigating the cause of the accident. When Dong Xuebing's car stopped in front of the compound, the few Officers recognized him. One of them, who had come to the hotel in the afternoon to take Dong Xuebing's fingerprints, was furious. After all, this incident is too serious. But surprisingly, none of them dared to look for trouble with Dong Xuebing or stare at him. They acted as if they did not see him and turned away to look elsewhere.
Take his fingerprints?
Get shoe prints?
Investigate Dong Xuebing?
This is meaningless!
Chenggang County had wanted to use Dong Xuebing to divert attention. That's why they used so many despicable methods against Dong Xuebing. But now, the building had collapsed, and the falling construction materials and pushing people are no longer important. Everyone's attention is on Chenggang County again, and they are the focus of the whole city. That's why no one is paying attention to Dong Xuebing. Secretary Zhou, the construction company's General Manager, and the rest's false statements are meaningless!
Dong Xuebing looked at them and the rubble not far away before driving off!
But this is not the end. Before Dong Xuebing left, he went to the County's People Hospital.
Alight.
Upstairs.
Go to the ward.
There weren't many cadres around Li Zhixin and Deputy Mayor Wang's ward. Since Deputy Mayor Li and Deputy Mayor Wang were injured, there should be many cadres visiting them. But now, there was no one. Only some staff from the Discipline Inspection Commission were talking about something. No wonder. Although Li Zhixin used to be majestic, that was because he was still in power, and everyone had to flatter him. But when you took off your official clothes, you were nothing. The situation outside the ward was very clear. Li Zhixin was blind, and he was directly responsible for the collapse of the office building. Didn't they see that the cadres of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection were here? At this time, who would dare to be too close to Li Zhixin?
They are courting death!
No one is so stupid as to avoid arousing suspicion and cut ties with Li Zhixin!
Dong Xuebing knew Li Zhixin, Secretary Zhou, and the rest are finished. But he doesn't mind kicking them a few more times. He walked over. "Are you a leader from the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
An old man looks at Dong Xuebing. "You are?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am Dong Xuebing from Zhen Shui County."
"Mayor Dong?" That Commission for Discipline Inspection staff and the rest look at Dong Xuebing. The leader shook hands with Dong Xuebing. "Hi, I heard something happened to your wife at the Xin County Party Committee Compound yesterday. Someone from Fen Zhou City testified that someone pushed Mayor Xie and caused her to be injured. Is this true? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes. There are many witnesses."
The Commission for Discipline Inspection staff replied. "We also want to know what happened. Can you tell us more about it?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "No problem."
That man said. "Alright. Have a seat here."
He told Li Zhixin about his wife's accident and Chenggang County's attitude towards him. He even told Li Zhixin how Secretary Zhou framed him. He added fuel to the fire in Chenggang County and Li Zhixin's anger.
7.30 pm.
The City's Commission for Discipline Inspection staff frowned.
After Dong Xuebing told them about the accident, it is up to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Public Security to investigate. Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and left.
Hospital Compound.
Dong Xuebing met a few Chenggang County's officials and staff. He does not know if they are there to assist in the investigation or to visit Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing glanced at them and drove back to Zhen Shui County.
The people in Chenggang County looked at the taillights of Dong Xuebing's Land Rover disappearing into the distance.
In fact, after Mayor Xie's accident, many Chenggang County officials knew that Mayor Li, Secretary Zhou, and the others might have pushed Mayor Xie, causing the mother and son to almost die. But even though they knew, they did not have any reaction. Their first thought was the same as Li Zhixin and the others. They wanted to push the blame to others first. They could not let their Chenggang County bear such a bad name. But as the incident developed, Chenggang County's officials realized things were not going the way they expected!
First, Secretary Zhou and the rest were crippled!
Then, the new County Party Committee Office building collapsed!
In the end, even Mayor Li Zhixin and Deputy Mayor Wang were crippled! The City's Commission for Discipline Inspection is also involved!
This could no longer be described with the word 'coincidence'! This is too much of a coincidence!
Why are the people who were with Mayor Xie crippled for life? Why is the County's Party Committee building, which almost caused Mayor Xie's death, in trouble again and again?
All the coincidences point to Zhen Shui County's Mayor Dong!
Since Dong Xuebing arrived! Accidents happen again and again! Those who had conflicts with him and his wife paid the price of blood one by one!
Thinking about it now, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
What kind of jinx is this Dong Xuebing?!
