After resting for more than 10 days, Dong Xuebing was finally discharged from the hospital.
These few days, Dong Xuebing was under Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan's care, and he felt much better. Even if he gets angry, he will not have breathing difficulties or have premature heartbeats. But Dong Xuebing's attending doctor, Director Yang, was not optimistic. He told Dong Xuebing to rest more to prevent a relapse.
It was almost winter, and the air was chilly. Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan put on their windbreakers.
In the hospital's courtyard, Qu Yunxuan helped Dong Xuebing tighten his jacket's collar. "I will be returning to Beijing?"
"Yes. Don't delay me. This year's Autumn Auctions should be held soon." Dong Xuebing said. "Sister Xie, you should go back to work too. Thank you for your hard work these few days."
Xie Huilan smiled. "The County's Public Security Bureau will be holding your commendation ceremony later. Hurry up and prepare your speech."
Qu Yunxuan reminded Dong Xuebing. "Remember to relax and don't work too hard. I will visit you when I am free."
Dong Xuebing agreed and chatted with Qu Yunxuan for a while before going back to his office. Dong Xuebing looked at his watch, and there was still some time left. He went home to write his speech. Because he had experience in the past, he wrote it smoothly. He finished it in about 5 minutes. After that, he drove to a car wash and filled up his car's petrol before driving to the County's Public Security.
"Oh, Chief Dong!"
"Chief Dong, you are discharged?"
Dong Xuebing smiled and greeted everyone. After entering the office building, he went up to greet his colleagues and leaders. After visiting Bureau Chief Liang Chengpeng, Political Commissar Liu Weiye, Deputy Bureau Chief Qin Yong, Dong Xuebing returned to his office and called his old friends and leaders. For example, Hu Silian and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Huang Li. These were all people who had called or visited Dong Xuebing when he was hospitalized. Dong Xuebing wanted to thank them and promised to visit them personally.
9.30 am.
Dong Xuebing had settled everything and only wait for the commendation ceremony at around 10 am.
Dong Xuebing was energetic and energetic. He had rested for too long, and he could finally return to work.
Dong Xuebing took out a pen and a notebook. He started to jot down a few dates. These dates were the dates when he entered the Civil Servants and was promoted to Deputy Section Chief. He felt that he needs to plan his future goals. Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan did not want Dong Xuebing to make a decision in a hurry. They should be considering if Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan like him, and everything is still uncertain. Maybe one day, Sister Xie and Qu Yunxuan will change their minds and marry another man. Dong Xuebing felt this was a good thing. Dong Xuebing did not want to think about it, and he can give Sister Xie and Qu Yunxuan some time to think.
Dong Xuebing's priority now was his career goals..
A few months ago, Dong Xuebing had decided that his next goal was to be promoted to Section Chief.
Dong Xuebing had been in Yan Tai County for more than half a year, and all his achievements were meritorious. Including the First-class, Second-class, and Third-class merit, Dong Xuebing had gotten a total of one Third-class merit, two Second-class merit, and one First-class merit. This was something that others could not get even after working for more than a decade. Dong Xuebing had a solid foundation, and his resume was getting thicker. If it was someone who had been a Deputy Bureau Chief for three years, he would be promoted to Section Chief with these achievements. But Dong Xuebing had only been in the government service for slightly more than a year, and it was too difficult for him to get promoted.
The probation period for a Deputy Section Chief was 1 year, and Dong Xuebing had not even passed this one year, let alone being promoted to Section Chief.
It wasn't easy to make an exception and promote someone. First, there would be political achievements, and second, there would be people at the top.
But at the same time, he does not have either. Xie Huilan had just joined the government and is the second-in-command. Xiang Daofa has the final say in the committee, and even if Xie Huilan supports Dong Xuebing, he does not have much hope. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing's achievements are enough to get a two-year staff member to be promoted. But it is not enough for a staff member who had only been in the government for less than a year and had not even passed his probation period.
It was difficult!
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
Dong Xuebing flipped through some files and recalled the information of the leaders in the County Bureau. Executive Deputy Bureau Chief Hu Yiguo had won 2 second-class merit awards and 4 third-class merit awards. Deputy Bureau Chief Gong Zongwen had about the same achievement as Hu Yiguo. He only had one less second-class merit award. Even Qin Yong, who was not highly qualified, had 4 third-class merit awards with his years in the Provincial Public Security. This was not a small achievement. He analyzed the situation objectively. Even if he tried his best and used all his strength, it was not realistic for him to be promoted to Section Chief.
Giving up just like that? Let nature take its course?
Of course not! Dong Xuebing immediately had a plan!
Around Lunar New Year next year, Dong Xuebing's Deputy Section Chief probation period will be over. At that time, he can be promoted to a higher position, and it will be easier for him to be promoted. If he can get some achievements this year, he will have a higher chance of being promoted to Section Chief. Dong Xuebing still needs to get a First-class merit for this achievement. Dong Xuebing still needs to get a First-class merit!
Two First-class merits and two Second-class merits.
Even Liang Chengpeng's achievements might not be as high as Dong Xuebing!
Dong Xuebing nodded in his heart. It's decided. I must get a First-class merit within the next few months. Section Chief! I can't wait any longer!
At around 10 am, the commendation ceremony started.
Dong Xuebing sat at the front of the hall. Beside him were the leaders from the County's Public Security Bureau and the City's leaders. After all, this is a First-class Merit Award ceremony, and this ceremony only happens a few times a year. Even the people from the Provincial Public Security will be there. About 10 minutes later, the ceremony started. The Provincial Leader personally gave Dong Xuebing a First-class, Second-class, and Third-class merit medals. He even joked that Dong Xuebing was the first person in China to get all the medals at the same time. After Dong Xuebing gave his speech, the hall was filled with applause.
Dong Xuebing was satisfied. He had risked his life to get these medals.
After the ceremony, many people congratulated Dong Xuebing. Xie Huilan also smiled and patted Dong Xuebing's shoulders. "Don't be too proud. Work hard."
Dong Xuebing replied politely. "Thank you, Mayor. I will definitely do it."
"Haha …" Xie Huilan laughed. "I will look forward to your performance."
There are so many people around, and Dong Xuebing did not dare to say anything. In his heart, he was grumbling to himself. Why are you talking to me like this? But he still agreed with Xie Huilan. After a while, Dong Xuebing went to greet the City's and Provincial Leaders. Although Dong Xuebing had made a name for himself in Yan Tai County, the City's and Provincial Leaders were not impressed. The City's and Provincial Leaders only nodded politely and said a few words that sounded more official than Xie Huilan.
After that, it was the gathering.
In the past, most of the leaders from the City and Provincial Government will be having dinner here. Suddenly, a phone rang.
A leader of the Provincial Public Security Department was chatting with Qin Yong. Deputy Bureau Chief Qin was transferred from the Provincial Public Security Department, and this person might be his former leader. But after receiving this call, that leader's face changed. "Say it again … What happened? The alarm didn't go off?! I know! Control the scene now! "The leader was furious and hung up the phone.
Qin Yong was stunned. "Director Huo …"
That person waved his hand and didn't say anything else. He immediately left with his men!
Liang Chengpeng, Liu Weiye, and the rest of the leaders from the County's Public Security Bureau looked at each other. They could tell something had happened in the Provincial Government, and it will not be a small matter! Dong Xuebing was also puzzled. What happened to make the leaders from the Provincial Government change their faces? Another jailbreak? Or is there a major case?
Dong Xuebing returned to his office in the afternoon. Ring … ring … ring … the phone on his desk rang.
Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello, Dong Xuebing."
It was Qin Yong. "Brother Dong, watch the TV. It's the afternoon news!"
Dong Xuebing was stunned and quickly took out the remote control to switch on the TV on the wall. He dialed a few channels and finally found the Provincial News Channel. The Provincial Museum appeared on the screen. It's fine from a distance, but when the camera panned to a corner of the museum, Dong Xuebing was shocked. A few of the protective glass panels on the display stands were smashed, and the relics inside were missing!
Dong Xuebing listened to the news and understood that the Provincial Museum had been robbed!
Dong Xuebing's expression changed and asked. "Chief Qin, what's going on? The security at the museum should be very tight. How did they sneak in? "
Qin Yong sighed. "Even the Forbidden City can be robbed, let alone the Provincial Museum."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and asked. "Have you caught the culprit?"
"I had just received the news and had not caught the culprit. I don't even know what kind of relics were stolen. Anyway, I heard that the Provincial Leader is furious and had deployed half of the police force to investigate the case. They even gave three days to solve the case. I think it should be a second-class and above cultural relic." Qin Yong had contacts in the Provincial Public Security Bureau and was well-informed.
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. No wonder Chief Huo left in a hurry. It's rare to have such a big case. Museum robbery? And it's a success? How many people will be slapped in the face this time? Also, if the case dragged on for too long, the thief might have transferred the relics to someone else or smuggled them out of China. The losses will be unimaginable. Second-class and above cultural relics are not allowed to be traded legally unless they are passed down from generation to generation. Just look at how precious they are. That is a cultural relic and a huge historical treasure! These bastards! How dare they steal everything?!
This case had a huge impact, and even CCTV reported it!
The whole of China was in an uproar, and Hebei Province had become the focus of the whole nation. There were scoldings and accusations. The Provincial Government was under a lot of pressure, especially the Public Security Department. They were doing everything they could to find the stolen relics.
Dong Xuebing was also concerned about this case and spent the whole afternoon reading the news.
At 3 pm, there was no progress on the case, and Dong Xuebing stopped reading. He knows this is the Provincial Public Security Bureau's matter and has nothing to do with him. Even if he wants to help, he can't do anything. He rubbed his temples and started thinking about how to get a First-class Merit. First-class Merit is not easy to get. Even if you solved a drug trafficking case, they might not give you a First-class Merit.
Dong Xuebing flipped the dossier page by page.
But after an hour, he still could not find a case that will give him a First-class Merit.
Dong Xuebing heaved a sigh of relief. Never mind. This matter cannot be rushed. Anyway, there are still a few more months before the one-year probation period ends. He still has plenty of time, and he will wait for an opportunity. So, Dong Xuebing called Hui Tian Village Station and asked them to fax some case files to him. He wants to start investigating the cases in his village and increase the number of cases solved in Hui Tian Village.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang again.
This time, it was Liang Chengpeng. "Chief Dong, come to my office."
"Yes." Dong Xuebing hangs up and quickly went upstairs.
Knock … knock … knock … Dong Xuebing entered and looked at Liang Chengpeng. "Chief Liang, are you looking for me?"
Liang Chengpeng frowned and nodded. "Have a seat." He flipped through the documents on his desk. "Have you heard about the Provincial Museum case?"
"Yes." Hundreds of millions of people in China know about this case, and how can Dong Xuebing not know about it?
Liang Chengpeng nodded and passed a document to Dong Xuebing. "Take a look at this."
"This is …" Dong Xuebing stood up and took the document from Liang Chengpeng. There is no case written on it, and there is only a picture and a few lines of words. Liu Sheng Golden Jade Suit. Excavated from the tomb of King Jing, Zhongshan, Hebei Province's Mancheng. This suit is the earliest, highest grade, and the most complete jade suit unearthed in China. It is made from jade pieces woven with gold threads. The suit is 1.88 meters long and contains 2,498 pieces of jade.
Dong Xuebing's eyes opened wide when he read this. "Golden Jade Suit? National Treasure? "
Liang Chengpeng looked at Dong Xuebing in surprise. He did not expect Dong Xuebing to be so knowledgeable. "It's a National Treasure, and it is one of the top National Treasures."
Dong Xuebing is in the antique business and knows about this item. A Grade 1 Relic is not the most valuable. There are National Treasures above it, and this is the top grade. Liu Sheng Golden Jade Suit has three "Most" words on it, and it is the National Treasure of the National Treasures. It is priceless and cannot be measured by money. This can be the most valuable historical relic in Hebei Province!
Dong Xuebing suddenly understood something. "The Golden Jade Suit is stolen?!"
"Sigh …" Liang Chengpeng sighed and nodded. "Other than this, there are a few other valuable relics. There are pictures at the back."
Dong Xuebing flipped through the pages, and the more he looked at them, the more terrified he got. These are all valuable relics!
Liang Chengpeng said, "It should be a gang crime, and it was premeditated. The higher-ups even suspected that this theft plan had been planned for at least a year. They sneaked into the museum, avoided the guards, and avoided the police. It was almost flawless. They even found a few loopholes in the museum's anti-theft equipment. It was only when the museum was about to open in the morning that the staff discovered that the gold jade suit and a few other items had disappeared."
Dong Xuebing does not understand why Chief Liang is telling him all these.
Liang Chengpeng looked at Dong Xuebing. "The Provincial Government had given the order to solve this case within a time limit, and all Counties and cities must cooperate with the Provincial Public Security. Xiao Dong, I will let you handle this case." Actually, Liang Chengpeng is only following the Provincial Government's orders and is only going through the motions. That person can escape from Hebei Province overnight, and even if he is still here, he will not come to Yan Tai County. But he still needs to set up checkpoints, check the highway toll gates, and check the main roads. All these must be done just in case.
This is the first time Dong Xuebing received such an important task from the Bureau. "Yes, Sir! I will do my best!"
Liang Chengpeng nodded and pushed a stack of documents to Dong Xuebing. "This is the details of the case. Go back and look at it. Report to me if you find anything."
Dong Xuebing took the documents seriously and read through them slowly.
Liang Chengpeng does not expect Yan Tai County to solve this case, as it is impossible. As long as Dong Xuebing does his job well and does not make any mistakes, it will be fine.
But Dong Xuebing did not think this way. In the past, he did not think too much of this task because he does not have the authority to do so. But now, Liang Chengpeng had asked him to be in charge of Yan Tai County's investigation. First, he wants to help the country recover those relics. These relics must not be lost overseas, and second, this is a good opportunity for him to make contributions. If Dong Xuebing can recover those relics, he will surely get a First-class Merit. This is an important case for the Provincial Government and even the Central Government leaders!
This is the one!
Whether I can get a Section Chief rank depends on this!
Before work, Dong Xuebing started making phone calls to assign tasks. The Traffic Police and Patrol Officers were deployed to set up checkpoints at the main roads. Dong Xuebing also called Deputy Team Leader Feng to ask for his help. Dong Xuebing is not in charge of these departments, but with Liang Chengpeng's authority, he can command all the departments. Although Hu Yiguo and Zhao Jingsong do not like Dong Xuebing, they will not go against him. The Provincial Museum burglary case had become the focus of the whole nation. Who dares to cause trouble at this time? No matter how many lives they have, it will not be enough!
The search was in full swing.
After work, Dong Xuebing returned to the Public Security quarters. He did not sit around and read the documents carefully. Even if the burglars will not be hiding in Yan Tai County and will not come to this area, Dong Xuebing is determined to catch them. Even if he has to cross provinces and cities, he must get credit for it!
