It was windy.
The wind was not strong, and it seemed to be at level two or three.
Dong Xuebing drove to the City's State Security office. As he was involved in the stalking incident in the afternoon, the State Security had called him over for questioning.
After Dong Xuebing confirmed his identity, a Third Bureau's officer brought him to an office and asked him about what happened in the afternoon. This was just a formality. Dong Xuebing knew what to say and told Sister Xu that he had met Xu Yan in the afternoon. But he did not board Chief Xu's car. As for why Liu Gang and his men followed him and ended up with Xu Yan, Dong Xuebing said he does not know. The staff was only doing their job and did not know the ins and outs of the investigation. Since Dong Xuebing was their Chief's former subordinate and was once a staff in the State Security, the staff was very polite to Dong Xuebing.
A few minutes later, Dong Xuebing had asked all the questions.
Dong Xuebing asked: "Comrade, are Liu Gang and Pang Dabing here?"
"Yes. They are still being interrogated." The Third Bureau staff nodded.
"It's like this." Dong Xuebing asked. "Can I meet them? It's a good opportunity to confront them and see if they really want to follow me or if they have other motives. "
That staff hesitated. "Err … I need to speak to the higher-ups first."
"Ok. Thank you."
"No problem. Please wait for a while."
"Can I smoke here?"
"Yes." The staff from the Third Bureau left.
Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette, and his phone rang. He looked at the number, and it was a landline. He did not recognize the number, and he answered. "Hello, I'm Dong Xuebing."
"Chief Dong, I'm Dong Haitao from Nan Qi Morning Post. We had just spoken."
"Oh, Chief Dong? What's up?"
Chief Dong, we are really sorry for what happened. I represent Nan Qi Morning Post to apologize to you. We did not know about this beforehand. If not, we would have stopped them from doing this. Hmmm … … After a meeting, the punishment is out. Liu Gang and Pang Dabing will be fired from their jobs. Liu Gang will also be expelled from the party. "Dong Hai Tao said with sincerity. Dong Hai Tao's tone was full of sincerity.
One is double, and the other is single? They moved really fast!
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Chief Dong, I agree with your agency's decision. This scum should be fired. Oh, what did you say in this morning's article?"
Dong Haitao paused. "The news has already been published, so … we will immediately investigate the authenticity of the news. If there is any falsehood in the report, we will take appropriate remedial measures. If necessary, we will issue a public apology in the newspaper."
"Alright!"
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing was satisfied with Nan Qi Morning Post's handling of this incident. He knew the culprits were Liu Gang and Pang Daibing. Although Dong Haitao and the higher-ups had something to do with this incident, without the higher-ups' approval, that article would not be published. Dong Xuebing did not want to get to the bottom of this incident. This incident was a slap to Nan Qi Morning Post's face, and it was another lesson for them.
Halfway through his cigarette, the staff from the Third Bureau came back.
Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette. "How is it?"
That staff nodded. "Section Chief asked me to bring you over. Do you want to see Liu Gang or Pang Daibing first?"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and replied. "Liu Gang first. Thank you."
… …
In a room.
Liu Gang was already sitting there, his expression cold and gloomy. He looked a little flustered and exasperated.
That staff from the Third Bureau sent Dong Xuebing into the room and said. "Chief Dong, we will be outside. Call us if you need anything." He did not know Dong Xuebing's fighting skills and was afraid Liu Gang might do something desperate. That's why he gave Dong Xuebing this order.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Ok. Thank you."
The door closed, and only Dong Xuebing and Liu Gang were left in the room.
Once again, Liu Gang could tell Dong Xuebing's relationship with the City's State Security is not ordinary. If not, the State Security will not give face to anyone, let alone a Section level leader. This department is very independent, and they do not need to listen to the higher-ups. Liu Gang stared at Dong Xuebing in his eyes. "When can I go out?!"
Dong Xuebing replied emotionlessly. "You should ask yourself. We will talk about this when you can explain yourself."
Liu Gang shouted angrily. "I had said everything I need to say! What else do I need to explain? Dong Xuebing! Don't go overboard! I did not follow the State Security Chief on purpose! You should know! "
Dong Xuebing replied coldly. "I am going overboard? You are the one who is going overboard, Liu Gang! What did you say in my office just now? Ah? You're clearly trying to frame me without even asking me about the truth? Creating something out of nothing! Fabricating news! I had never offended you. You are the one who started shouting at me from the start. Can't I just ignore you for once? You still dare to provoke me again and again? Do you think I am easy to bully? You still dare to say you are wronged? Isn't it time for you to be arrogant? You still dare to follow me? Come on! Follow me and continue to slander me in the Morning Papers. "Dong Xuebing was evil. He had come here to provoke Liu Gang.
Liu Gang's veins were throbbing.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something." Dong Xuebing calmly said. "Your Editor Dong had told me that Nan Qi Morning Papers had suspended you. From today onwards, you are no longer a reporter from Nan Qi Morning Papers. If you still want to slander me, you will have to change to another agency."
Liu Gang's face turned green and stared at Dong Xuebing. "Suspended?!"
"It's suspended. You did not hear wrongly."
"Why?!" Liu Gang was furious. "Why?!"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I don't know if you had done too many illegal things and are numb to it. Following a government official and spying on a State Security Chief? Is this not enough? What do you mean by this? You are still not convinced? You don't know who you are? "
Liu Gang fell onto the chair with a plop, gasping for breath. His lungs were about to explode.
After a while, Liu Gang was brought out and replaced by Pang Doubing. Only Dong Xuebing and Pang Doubing were in the room.
Dong Xuebing crossed his legs and looked at Pang Doubing. "You are Pang Doubing?"
Pang Doubing sat down slowly and did not say a word.
"This is the first time we met. But we have known each other for a long time."
"… …" Pang Doubing still did not say a word.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Editor Pang, I don't understand. You are in the news industry, and you should focus on what you are doing. Why did you set me up? Did you do it once, twice, or thrice? Oh, I can't call you Editor Pang anymore. I just received news that you are fired from your agency. "
Pang Doubing's eyes turned cold. He did not react as strongly as Liu Gang. He had expected this to happen. Pang Doubing knew he was in trouble and did not expect to get out of this unscathed.
"I want to know now." Dong Xuebing looked at Pang Doubing. "Who asked you to backstab me? Huh? "
Pang Doubing looked up. "If there are no undercover investigations, how can you get the news? How are you going to write the article? You think I am setting you up just because I wrote some articles? You think too highly of yourself? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "That means you are the one who instigated Liu Gang to do this?"
Pang Doubing snorted.
"Fine. You are quite noble to put all the blame on yourself."
It was not that Dahan Bing was noble, it was just that he could see things more clearly than Liu Gang, and he was more courageous than Liu Gang. Things had blown up to this point, and there was already no way to clean it up. Liu Gang was stupid, and after being threatened, he went around biting people, and brought Dahan Bing in. But Dahan Bing could not continue to bite upwards. Originally, the matter could have come to an end, but if he continued to bite upwards, the matter would only get bigger and bigger, and if it attracted the attention of the city or even the province, Dahan Bing's hopes of making a comeback would be even slimmer. So he could only bite the matter to himself, and not say anything.
But when it comes to making a comeback, Pang Dabing knew that it was impossible. The news agency had already fired him. With this stain, even if Pang Dabing left the State Security with a clean record, he would not be able to establish a foothold in the news industry in the future. There would be no place for him in the news industry anymore.
Just because he messed with Dong Xuebing, Pang Bing ended up in this state, and he regretted it.
Is it worth it? Not! It's not worth it!
But more than that, he was filled with hatred. Pang Daobing did not expect that after so many years in Nanshan District, he could not even withstand a single attack from Dong Xuebing and was defeated. This Dong Xuebing was too good at pretending to be a coward and knew how to keep a low profile. He did not reveal his connections with the City's State Security's Head and even let Pang Doubing suffer at the critical moment!
Pang Doubing had lost his job, and he has nothing to worry about. He looked at Dong Xuebing and said: "You still haven't heard? I heard that Nanshan District's Commission for Discipline Inspection is investigating the assault incident. Dong Xuebing, someone will deal with you. Don't worry. "
Pang Doubing's words confirmed Dong Xuebing's suspicions. The person behind this incident should be Nanshan District's Organization Department Head Xue Qingrong.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You don't know me well. I am not afraid of anyone. Someone wants to deal with me? Fine. I will welcome that person. " Dong Xuebing stood up and patted Pang Doubing's shoulder. "If you go out early, tell the person behind you that I will wait for him!"
