That night, Dong Xuebing crawled into bed and fell asleep.
After some time, Dong Xuebing heard his phone ringing. He had drunk Maotai with Qin Yong and his wife in the evening, and his head is still spinning. He subconsciously touched his pillow and could not find his phone. Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and saw the moonlight outside. He looked at his watch, and it's 11 pm. Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Who is calling so late at night? It's an unknown number, and he answered impatiently.
"Chief Dong, I'm Party Secretary Xiang's secretary!"
"Oh, what's wrong with Hui Tian Village?"
"What's wrong with Hui Tian Village's security? Ah? "
"… security? What do you mean? "
"Secretary Xiang's relative was beaten up! It's in Hui Tian Village! Go and settle it now! "
Dong Xuebing woke up from his sleepiness. County Party Secretary Xiang Daofa's secretary? Xiang Daofa's relative was beaten up? This is a serious matter, but what's with your tone? You are just a secretary, and you dare to speak to me like this? You are acting as if I am your subordinate. Without a doubt, it must be Xiang Daofa who asked his secretary to call him. If not, his secretary will not dare to scold him like this. Dong Xuebing hates Xiang Daofa and does not have a good impression of his secretary. "I will call the Village Station and ask Station Chief Liu to settle this."
Secretary Zhou frowned. "If they can settle this, Party Secretary Xiang will not ask me to call you!"
Dong Xuebing is getting annoyed. It's just a fight, and they can just arrest the culprit and fine him. Why do I need to do this?
"Chief Dong, settle the culprit immediately and punish him severely. I am still waiting to report this to Party Secretary Xiang!" Secretary Zhou hung up the phone. He is not purposely giving Dong Xuebing a hard time, as he had never met Dong Xuebing before. It's because Party Secretary Xiang is furious about his relative being beaten up in Hui Tian Village. That's why Secretary Zhou is angry with him.
Dong Xuebing heard Du Du had hung up and cursed. Xiang Daofa! I had helped you become the County's Party Secretary and tried to join you, but you ignored me. You don't even want to meet me?! Now that your relative is in trouble, you think of me? You even let your secretary have this kind of attitude? What do you mean by that? Dong Xuebing remembered when Xiang Daofa was the Mayor, he was a nice person. But after he became the County's Mayor, he changed into a different person!
But no matter how angry he is, he still has to do this. If anything happens to the County's Party Secretary's relative, he will be held responsible. From Secretary Zhou's attitude, this should be a serious matter, and Xiang Daofa's relative might be beaten up badly.
Dong Xuebing got out of bed and quickly put on his clothes. He took his car keys and went downstairs.
On the way to Hui Tian Village, Dong Xuebing called Liu Dahai. "Old Liu, what happened?"
Liu Dahai knew what Chief Dong is asking and sighed. "I was just about to report to you. Xiang Daofa's relative was beaten up. I had just received the news, and I don't know what happened at the scene. But one of the people who beat him up is a relative of one of our officers."
Dong Xuebing knew why Liu Dahai called him over. "Where is the location?"
"It's in the village. The food stall at Xikou. I am rushing there now."
"Alright. I still need some time to reach. Make sure you control the situation." After hanging up, Dong Xuebing stepped on the accelerator. Dong Xuebing does not want to handle this kind of case involving a leader's relative, especially Xiang Daofa. If he handled this case well, Xiang Daofa will not remember him. But if he did not handle it well, he might even hate him.
Hui Tian Village.
Xikou.
Dong Xuebing saw a few police cars with flashing lights in the distance and drove past them. He stepped on the brakes and alighted.
"What's going on?" Dong Xuebing asked with a straight face.
Chu Feng and a few officers saw Chief Dong approaching. "Chief Dong, Station Chief Liu is talking to them. The leader is called Xiang Chengdong, and he seems to be Party Secretary Xiang's distant relative."
Dong Xuebing scolded. "Who beat him up?"
Chu Feng hesitated. "It's Da Leng, Er Leng, and their family members."
Dong Xuebing's face changed. "Call them over! What are they doing?! "
After a while, Chu Feng brought Da Leng and Er Leng over, and Dong Xuebing started scolding them. "Do you know who you all are? You are Assistant Police! You all are here to maintain law and order! You all are not here to disrupt law and order! As law enforcers, you all should set an example and still dare to beat someone up? Ah? Who gave you all the guts?! Look at yourselves! Where is your discipline?! Where is your discipline?! "
Da Leng clenched his fists, and Er Leng's eyes are red like an angry lion.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and asked. "Where is Xiang Chengdong injured? Is it serious? "
Chu Feng replied. "It's not serious. He was punched in the face, but he is not injured."
Dong Xuebing was relieved. If those people were not seriously injured, he will not be able to answer to the County's Party Secretary. "Party Secretary Xiang had instructed us to punish them severely. Those who beat up those people must be brought back to the station. We will deal with them after investigations." Dong Xuebing points to Da Leng and Er Leng. "I will settle this with you all later!"
Er Leng gritted his teeth. "I did not do anything wrong! Those people deserve to be beaten up! "
Da Leng did not say anything, but his eyes showed that he is thinking the same thing as his brother.
Chu Feng quickly touched his brothers' arms and told Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, this is not what happened."
Dong Xuebing frowned and waited for Chu Feng to continue. He knew Da Leng and his brother are honest villagers and will not get angry easily. There must be a reason behind their actions, but no matter what, they should not beat someone up, especially a relative of the County's Party Secretary.
Chu Feng looked at the restaurant behind the food stall and hesitated. "This is what happened. Da Leng and Er Leng's sister had returned to Yan Tai County on her summer break. Da Leng's family came to the food stall for dinner and met Xiang Chengdong and his men. They were drunk and groped Da Leng's sister, and Da Leng's family got angry. They started fighting, and Xiang Chengdong and his men beat up Da Leng's family. After they heard the news, Da Leng and his brother rushed over and beat up the other party. After the other party called the police, we found out that Xiang Chengdong is the County's Party Secretary's relative."
Dong Xuebing asked. "It's Xiang Chengdong and his men who hit them first?"
Chu Feng nodded. "Other than Xiang Chengdong, he and his men are not injured. They should be the ones who started the fight. Sigh … Da Leng's sister is beaten up … her face is swollen. Da Leng's Second Uncle is also …"
Dong Xuebing immediately said. "Bring me there!"
Chu Feng, Da Leng, and his men led the way to the restaurant behind the food stall.
There are not many people in the restaurant, and only a few onlookers gathered outside. In the corner of the restaurant, four middle-aged men are drinking beer and laughing. Station Chief Liu Dahai and Deputy Station Chief Chen Fa are chatting with them. These people should be Xiang Chengdong and his men, but Dong Xuebing did not see any signs of being beaten up. They are still smoking and drinking!
On the other side, Dong Xuebing's face changed.
A middle-aged man, a young man, and a young girl are sitting at a table near the window. The middle-aged man should be Da Leng's Second Uncle. He is covering his arm with a tissue to his nose and eyes, and blood is flowing out. The young man is also in the same condition. Not only his face is beaten up, but his hair is also bald. Xiang Chengdong and his men must have pulled his hair off. That young girl should be Da Leng's sister. She is crying, and her left cheek is swollen. Her eye is bruised, and one of her front teeth is knocked out.
Da Leng returned and ran over to comfort his sister.
Er Leng stared at Xiang Chengdong and his men angrily. He looks like he is about to rush up to them.
Chu Feng sighed. "These people are too ruthless. How can a woman be beaten up like this?"
Dong Xuebing was furious. Secretary Zhou had called to inform him that Xiang Chengdong's relative was beaten up. Dong Xuebing thought the relative was seriously injured and immediately scolded Da Leng and Er Leng. But it was not the truth. Xiang Chengdong was beaten up?! How is he beaten up? Wasn't he just f * cking drinking? They are the ones who beat him up! Damn! Xiang Daofa! What the hell are you doing?!
Dong Xuebing quickly walks over. "Did you hurt your bones?"
Er Leng gritted his teeth. "This is Chief Dong."
That female student looks at Dong Xuebing in tears. She is missing a tooth and is bleeding. "My Second Uncle's leg is broken, but I did not hurt his bones."
Dong Xuebing looks at Er Leng. "Don't say anything. Bring your family to the hospital first."
A man with sharp ears heard what Dong Xuebing said and immediately stood up. "No one can leave! Do you think this is over after beating someone up?! We still have not settled what happened today! " That man has bruises on his face, and he should be Xiang Chengdong. He is a villager and does not look like a hooligan.
Liu Dahai suppressed his anger. "Mr. Xiang, your men are not injured. I think we should let this go."
Xiang Chengdong sneered. "Not injured? Who is the one who beat me up?! Let me tell you! This is not over yet! You are the Station Chief, right? Your men had beaten me up, and you want us to let this go? " He pointed at Dumbo and the rest. "Those who beat me up just now, arrest every single one of them. Fire the two auxiliary police officers, and pay ten thousand for their medical expenses!"
Chen Fa knows Er Leng is drunk, but what he said is too much.
Da Leng shouted. "You had beaten up my Second Uncle and sister! Why should we compensate you?! "
A middle-aged man beside Xiang Chengdong laughed. "That woman is the one who scolded us first, and she deserves to be beaten up. Hurry up! Arrest them and compensate them, and we will let this matter go. If not, we will not let this go. You want to waste time? Then wait for your leaders to come! " He is Xiang Chengdong's childhood friend. When Xiang Daofa was the Mayor, he was suppressed by Chang Lei. But now, Xiang Daofa is the County's Party Secretary, and they changed their attitude. With Xiang Chengdong, a relative of the County's Party Secretary, around them, they are more courageous.
Xiang Chengdong cursed at them and took out his phone to call Secretary Zhou.
Dong Xuebing looks at them. "Stop calling. Tell me if you need anything."
Xiang Chengdong looks at Dong Xuebing. "Who are you?"
Liu Dahai replied. "This is our Chief Dong."
"Oh, you are Chief Dong?" Xiang Chengdong laughed. "Alright. I will not fire those two officers today for Chief Dong's sake. But they must pay for their medical fees. It must not be less than 10,000 RMB." He burped and said to Chengdong, "Also, we must make those people apologize to us."
Da Leng's family is furious. Their men had been beaten up, and they still have to compensate them? How can they do this?! Furthermore, their family is poor, and they had to borrow money from the villagers to pay for their sister's university fees. How can they afford 10,000 RMB for the medical fees? Moreover, Second Uncle's leg was fractured, and Little Sister's face was disfigured. They didn't know how much it would cost to go to the hospital. They didn't even have the money to see a doctor!
Dong Xuebing frowned. "I am here today to settle this problem. Mr. Xiang, you also don't want this to blow up. Let's not talk about the medical fees first. We must send them to the hospital first. As for the rest, we can talk tomorrow. "Dong Xuebing wants to wait until Xiang Chengdong sobers up.
Xiang Chengdong's face changed. "Today's problem is settled today. Why are you bringing it up tomorrow? That minor injury is considered an injury? What are you looking at?! If you don't give me an explanation today! No one can leave! "
The rest of the officers laughed and shouted. "That's right! Compensate! Compensate! "
Xiang Chengdong was a relative of the County Party Secretary, and everyone knew that this matter was unreasonable. The main task now was to appease Xiang Chengdong and solve this matter perfectly. Otherwise, if the assistant police were involved, they might be punished by the County Party Secretary. This was something that no one wanted to see.
Chen Fa thought for a while and said. "Our Officers might have some problems with our work, and we will punish them severely. But 10,000 RMB for medical fees is too …"
Xiang Chengdong is getting impatient and looked at Dong Xuebing. "You also can't settle this? Fine! I will go and look for your Chief! I don't believe no one can give me an explanation today! "Xiang Chengdong was still talking on the phone." What kind of security is this?! I am only out for a meal, and someone is an eyesore! Oh … Hello, Secretary Zhou? I'm Xiang Chengdong … That's right. That Chief Dong is here, and he is not helping me … That's right … the one who beat me up is his Station's Officer, and he is biased … I did not ask for anything else. He had beaten me up, and he should compensate for my medical fees … Hahaha … "
After Xiang Chengdong hangs up, he greeted his friends. "Come, let's have a drink." He glanced at Da Leng's sister and family members. "Brothers, keep an eye on them. If they don't compensate us, none of them can leave today!"
The other officers were angered by Xiang Chengdong's attitude. He is too arrogant!
Dong Xuebing really wants to kick Xiang Chengdong to death. But Xiang Chengdong is related to him, and Xiang Daofa had spoken. Dong Xuebing had to swallow his anger.
Liu Dahai walked over and whispered. "Chief Dong, why don't you compensate them first? It's not good if this blows up."
Dong Xuebing kept quiet with a long face.
Chen Fa added. "We cannot afford to offend these people. I know Da Leng's family does not have money. Can the station pay for them first?"
Dong Xuebing asked. "They had beaten someone up, and we still have to compensate them?"
Chen Fa sighed. "But we have no choice. If they don't leave, Party Secretary Xiang …"
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang. It's Secretary Zhou calling. Dong Xuebing does not know if he should answer. This is too disgusting.
Xiang Chengdong smiles and looks at Dong Xuebing. "Hurry up and answer! After settling this, everyone can go home! If not, you will also not be able to leave! "
Dong Xuebing is getting angrier. He walked out of the restaurant and answered. "Hello."
"Chief Dong! How come this matter is still not settled? Ah? How am I going to report this to Party Secretary Xiang? " Secretary Zhou is also furious. Party Secretary Xiang's relative was beaten up, and the other party is still not settling the matter. They are not arresting the person or compensating him. What's the meaning of this?
Dong Xuebing replied coldly. "Secretary Zhou, you don't know the situation here. It's not as simple as Xiang Chengdong getting beaten up. I am at the scene now, and Xiang Chengdong was only punched in the face. His friends are fine, but they are beaten up badly. One of them had a broken leg, and a young girl is disfigured. This incident started because Xiang Chengdong was flirting with that young girl. That's why Xiang Chengdong is the one to take responsibility for this.
Secretary Zhou replied impatiently. "You can't settle this? Fine. I will get someone else to settle this! "
Dong Xuebing frowned. "It's not that I can't settle this. I am afraid if I handle this wrongly, there will be negative repercussions. I think Party Secretary Xiang also does not want this to happen. Secretary Zhou, I suggest you persuade Xiang Chengdong to resolve this matter. It's not a big deal, and if this matter escalates, no one will be happy. "
"What's there to settle?! If Xiang Chengdong wants his medical bills, he should compensate him! "
Dong Xuebing replied angrily. "Secretary Zhou, are you kidding me? Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me to settle this matter?! You even said Xiang Chengdong's relative was beaten up?! He only lost a few strands of his hair! He is still drinking with his friends! Now, he is the one who beat up our station's relative! Are you trying to disgust me?! I had given you and Party Secretary Xiang face and rushed over to help you settle this matter, and this is your attitude?! Aren't you looking down on me too much? "
Secretary Zhou is furious. He did not expect Dong Xuebing to talk to him like this. "Fine. I will report what you said to Party Secretary Xiang!"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't try to scare me. I have never been afraid of anyone in my life!"
"You …"
Dong Xuebing hangs up the phone. He is annoyed by these disgusting things, and he knows he will not get any benefits even if he solved the problem. But he did not expect these people to treat him this way. Damn! Do they really think I am a servant?! Do they think they can scold me and use me as they please?!
Dong Xuebing pushed open the door and entered the restaurant.
Xiang Chengdong drank a glass of beer and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Can you settle this matter now?"
Everyone knew someone must have pressured Dong Xuebing to settle this matter. The officers, Da Leng, and the rest looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "That's right. We can settle this now. Chu Feng, arrest them!"
Xiang Chengdong nodded. "It's better if you did this earlier. Also, don't forget to pay for their medical fees."
Da Leng took in a deep breath and shouted angrily. "Chief Dong! My Second Uncle and sister are still injured! I am the one who beat them up! If you want to arrest me, then arrest me! " Er Leng picked up a beer bottle and stood in front of his sister. He looks like he will fight anyone who dares to arrest him. That girl grabbed Er Leng's hand and started crying.
Chu Feng sighed and knew Chief Dong had no other choice. He walked over with a few officers to arrest Er Leng.
Dong Xuebing gave them a stare. "Who the hell are you arresting?!"
"Ah?" Chu Feng, Liu Dahai, and the rest were stunned. "Didn't you ask us to arrest them?"
Dong Xuebing points at Xiang Chengdong. "What are you all thinking?! Da Leng and Er Leng were acting in self-defense! These people had harassed Xiang Chengdong's sister! They even hit Xiang Chengdong's family! Who else should we arrest if not him?! "Dong Xuebing saw everyone was stunned and shouted." What are you all waiting for?! Handcuff him! I will take responsibility if anything happens! Bring them all away! "
Xiang Chengdong smashed a beer bottle on the floor and stood up. "You dare to touch me?!"
Dong Xuebing had tolerated him for a long time. Bam! Xiang Chengdong fell to the ground with a kick. "You really think you are someone important?! You dare to act like a leader in front of me?! Who the hell are you?! What a shameless thing! You dare to be so arrogant after hitting someone?! Who else should we arrest if not you?! "
None of them expected Chief Dong to do this!
When Chu Feng saw this, he was overjoyed. He exhaled all the anger he had been suppressing in his heart and went forward to handcuff Xiang Chengdong.
Xiang Chengdong shouted. "How dare you?!"
The other officers also reacted and went forward to arrest Xiang Chengdong. After what Chief Dong said, how can they hold back? Everyone at the scene was furious with this group of people. Furthermore, those who were beaten up were their colleague's relatives. Everyone started beating and kicking Xiang Chengdong's accomplices, who tried to fight back, were on the ground. After handcuffing them, everyone was relieved to work for Chief Dong!
Da Leng's eyes were red, and tears were welling up in his eyes. "Chief Dong!"
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Let's go back to the station!"
Liu Dahai and Chen Fa looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They still remember the few times Chief Dong went out to arrest the relative of the Education Ministry's Chief. The second time was to arrest the relative of the Finance Department's leader. The third time was to arrest the relative of the Publicity Department's Head. This time, it is the County's Party Secretary's turn.
