In the house.
Tang Jin was crying and looked at Dong Xuebing. She wiped her tears with her hands. "Brother."
Dong Xuebing's Second Aunt ran over. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you crying? "
Dong Xuebing's Uncle stared at her and stood up from his chair. "Did someone bully you at the factory? Tell me! I will go and settle the score with them! "Dong Xuebing's First and Second Uncles also ran over to ask what happened. Tang Jin was not a pretty girl, but she was pretty and lively since young. She had been living with her grandmother, Uncle, and Aunt. That's why her family treated Tang Jin differently from Dong Xuebing.
Tang Jin shook her head and did not say a word.
Luan Xiaoping took out a handkerchief and passed it to her. "Xiao Jin, is it … … is it those hooligans?"
Tang Jin cried even louder. "Sob … … They … … They are hooligans."
Dong Xuebing's Second Uncle's face changed. "Tell me what happened!"
"Sob sob … I just got off work from the factory … I'm almost home … Sob sob … Those hooligans who stole our sweet potatoes surrounded me … They … They said they wanted me to go for a ride with them … Sob sob … I didn't agree … They … They started to get physical with me … Sob sob sob … Luckily a few people from the village passed by … I took the opportunity to run back …"
Dong Xuebing's Second Uncle banged the table angrily. "Those bastards! They are too much! "
During Dong Xuebing's family's most difficult time, it was his Second Aunt, Tang Jin, and her family who lent Dong Xuebing a few tens of thousands RMB. But it was all his Second Aunt's and Uncle's savings. Although Dong Xuebing and his mother had returned the money two years ago, Dong Xuebing still wanted to repay his Second Aunt's family. Dong Xuebing's face turned black when he saw Tang Jin being bullied by those hooligans. "Xiao Jin, where are they?"
Tang Jin sobbed. "They … … they might have left."
Dong Xuebing's Second Uncle looked around angrily. He grabbed a chair and was about to rush out.
But Dong Xuebing's First Aunt grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?!"
Dong Xuebing's Second Uncle said. "Sis, let go. My daughter cannot be bullied! I'm going to settle the score with them! "
First Aunt smacked her lips. "It's not like you don't know what kind of people they are. They usually eat, drink, whore, and gamble. There's strength in numbers. If you go …"
Tang Jin also cried and snatched the chair from her father. "Dad, I am fine. Don't go."
Dong Xuebing's face changed. "Call the station!"
Seeing her daughter like this, Dong Xuebing's Second Aunt also cried. "Xiao Bing, you don't know that the boss of the gold mine behind those hooligans has close ties with the station."
Dong Xuebing does not care about that. "Call the police!"
Grandma, who was sitting there, said, "Call the police! We can't let Xiao Jinbai suffer! "
Luan Xiaoping was closer to the phone, so she walked over and called the local police station. "Hello, is this the police station? My niece was harassed by a hooligan … Yes … Yes … Come and arrest them. Those hooligans should not be far away …" Luan Xiaoping gave the police her address. After hanging up, Luan Xiaoping turned and said to everyone, "The police said they will be here soon."
Dong Xuebing waved to Tang Jin. "Xiao Jin, come over. Let me take a look at you."
Tang Jin sniffled and sat beside Dong Xuebing. "Cousin."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "A girl changes 18 times between womanhood and womanhood. Our Xiao Jin is getting prettier. Don't cry. The police will punish those hooligans." Dong Xuebing does not care about the relationship between those hooligans and the local police station. He called the police and gave them his address. The police station should know this is his hometown, and they will not dare to disobey the law.
However, the development of things is always unexpected.
Ten minutes passed …
Twenty minutes passed …
The police station is not far from here, but the police are not here yet!
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. "Call again!"
Uncle, First Aunt, and Second Aunt could tell that the police station has no intention of sending their officers. They are determined to protect those hooligans!
Luan Xiaoping sighed and picked up her phone to call the police station again. After that, she turned to her husband. "The police station said they do not have enough manpower. They might not be able to come today."
Dong Xuebing's Second Aunt's husband was furious. "You are a family of hooligans!"
Tang Jin's shoulders twitched and started crying again.
Dong Xuebing's face changed. You know it is my family who called the police, and you are not even going to send your officers? What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to show off your power? Are you trying to humiliate me? Are you trying to show off? Damn! Aren't you a little too daring? Between a hooligan and a Deputy Bureau Chief, you dare to choose to protect those hooligans? Fine! You are too damn fine!
Dong Xuebing took out his phone from his pocket and called the Bureau's Office Director, Hu Silian.
Hu Silian was watching TV with her husband. "Hello, Chief Dong."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Director Hu, who is Hui Tian Village Station Chief?"
Hu Silian was surprised. She could tell Chief Dong's tone is not friendly. "It's Liu Dahai."
"Can you give me his number?"
"Of course. Please wait for a while." Hu Silian points to the coffee table with her chin, and her husband quickly passes a book to her. Hu Silian knew something must have happened to Chief Dong, but Chief Dong did not say anything. She did not ask and quickly gave him Liu Dahai's number.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing called Liu Dahai with a black face.
Everyone in the room looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously. Luan Xiaoping asked. "Son, who are you calling?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Colleagues."
Ring … ring … ring … the line got through, and a drunken voice said. "Hello?" Liu Dahai had just finished eating and drinking with a few policemen. He had only been at home for about ten minutes and was lying down, letting his wife massage his back. He comfortably squinted his eyes and picked up the phone, almost falling asleep.
Dong Xuebing coldly asked. "Liu Dahai?"
Liu Dahai was stunned. How dare he call me by my name?
"It's me. Who are you?"
"Dong Xuebing!"
Dong Xuebing? Who is Dong Xuebing? Liu Dahai did not know what Dong Xuebing was talking about. When he was about to ask Dong Xuebing, he sat up on his bed. "You are … … Chief Dong?" Liu Dahai suddenly remembered Dong Xuebing's name. The new Deputy Bureau Chief will be officially appointed today!
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Liu Dahai, you are a good Station Chief. You did not disgrace the Public Security!"
Liu Dahai was stunned. "Chief Dong, what are you talking about?" Liu Dahai could tell Chief Dong was angry, but he does not know what he did to offend this new Deputy Bureau Chief. He had not even met this new Deputy Bureau Chief before!
Dong Xuebing told Liu Dahai his address and shouted. "Within 10 minutes! Come over now! "Ring … ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing hangs up!
Liu Dahai was stunned. Who did I offend?
His wife asked worriedly. "Dahai, what did the new Chief Dong say?"
"He asked me to go … …" Liu Dahai remembered something and quickly put on his clothes. He called the station and told them the address Chief Dong had given him. "Hurry! Help me find out who this address belongs to." He does not understand why Chief Dong is in Hui Tian Village.
The police did not even bother to check. "Chief Liu, I know this family. Their surname is Luan, and they do not have any background. Huh? Did they contact you?"
Liu Dahai frowned. "What do you mean?"
"That family had called the police half an hour ago. They said one of their family members was harassed by those hooligans. You should also know that their boss and … … I don't think it is a serious matter, so I did not send the police."
Liu Dahai heard this and shouted. "Why didn't you report to me?!"
"I think this is a small dispute … …"
What kind of small dispute is this?! Even Chief Dong had called me! Liu Dahai did not wait for Dong Xuebing to finish. "Get someone over there now! They cannot reach within 5 minutes! You better pack up and get lost! " The way of doing things at the grassroots level was not like in Beijing. Many leaders' working methods were very 'tough'. Otherwise, they would not be able to suppress people here by being soft and weak.
After hanging up, Liu Dahai understood what Chief Dong meant. Chief Dong is standing up for the villagers. He saw someone had called the police, but he ignored them. That's why he got angry. You might be the Deputy Bureau Chief, but you are not in charge of Hui Tian Village. Do you think I have the right to scold you? Liu Dahai was unhappy.
Ring, ring, ring … … Dong Xuebing's phone rang again. It was Hu Silian from the County Bureau's command center.
Liu Dahai pressed the answer button and said respectfully: "Hello, Director Hu."
Hu Silian asked curiously. "Chief Liu, what happened to you all?"
Liu Dahai knew Hu Silian was asking about Chief Dong, and he was frustrated. "I am not sure. Chief Dong had scolded me and asked me to go to a house in the village. I must be there within 10 minutes."
Hu Silian smiled. "I also heard that Chief Dong's hometown is Hui Tian Village, and his mother's surname is Luan."
"Ah?" Liu Dahai's face turned green. "Director Hu, thank you!"
Shit! This is bad!
Liu Dahai did not even take his bag and ran out of the office!
He finally understood why Chief Dong is so angry. Chief Dong's family was bullied by hooligans, and he had called the Police. But he did not send any officers. Damn! This is challenging Chief Dong's authority! If news of this gets out! I will lose my job as the Station Chief!
Liu Dahai called the station a few more times and drove to Chief Dong's house.
He felt wronged in his heart. If it were any other government agency, Chief Dong's hometown, mother, and family members would be known by now. But Chief Dong was working in State Security, a highly secretive department. Most people only know Chief Dong's name and work unit, and nothing else. If not, he would not have made such a blunder!
