It was midnight.
The moonlight was shining brightly above his head.
Dong Xuebing read the headlines again and again. He is the type of person who will do what he says. After memorizing the headlines, he took out his lighter and burned the papers. After that, he took out his car keys and drove out of the quarters. He was heading straight to the scene of the accident. The accident happened tomorrow afternoon, and the newspapers had just been printed. It should be a last-minute addition to the headlines. The victims' names were not written on the headlines, and there was no official report on the accident. The only report said that the accident was caused by shoddy construction materials. Dong Xuebing was worried if he did not see it for himself. That's why he went there.
On the way, Dong Xuebing called home.
It rang for a long time before the call got through.
"Hello." Xie Huilan said sleepily. "What is it?"
"Are you all asleep?" Dong Xuebing asked. "I need to ask you something. Do you know Xiping District's Third High School?"
Xie Huilan yawned. "Third High School? The school that collapsed during the earthquake? I had heard of it. What's wrong? "
Dong Xuebing quickly asked. "Third High School is rebuilt? How is the progress? Who is the contractor? Who is in charge of the construction? Tell me the details. "
"Tell me what you want first."
"Aiya, tell me first."
"Alright … I don't know what to do with you." Xie Huilan paused for a while and continued. "Many schools and primary schools had collapsed during the earthquake, and the district governments are in charge of rebuilding them. Some of them are through tenders, and some are hired directly. I am not sure about the contractor of Xiping Third High School. But I heard that Song Fei's company provided the construction materials, and I am in charge of the school. I had met Song Fei before Lunar New Year because of this incident. I don't remember much. Now, there are schools being rebuilt everywhere in Fen Zhou. Why are you asking about Third High School?"
The construction materials were provided by Song Fei? Hah! Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road!
I just wanted to teach that Song Fei a lesson! You actually delivered yourself to my doorstep!
Dong Xuebing immediately replied. "Someone reported this to me, and I am just asking. Alright. Go and sleep first. I will go back later."
"Ok."
Dong Xuebing threw his phone aside and continued driving.
… …
Xiping District.
It was quiet at the entrance of No.3 High School.
Dong Xuebing parked his car at the roadside not far away. He alighted from the car and looked around. This place used to be the epicenter of the earthquake, and many buildings had collapsed. Now, the situation was not any better. Many buildings were being rebuilt, and it was a huge construction site with very few street lights. Dong Xuebing walked further and saw the few school buildings of Third High School. One of them was basically completed, but it was not renovated yet. The other building was still under construction. The windows and windows were not renovated, and some construction materials were scattered at the entrance.
There was no one around, not even security.
Dong Xuebing saw the management here is lax and walked over to the unfinished school block. He kneaded a piece of construction material and knocked it on the ground a few times. Crack! Dong Xuebing did not use much strength, and the stone broke into pieces. A lot of powder oozed out from the cut. This piece of material is not sturdy, and it does not feel heavy.
It broke just like that?
What kind of f * cking material was this?
Dong Xuebing is furious. This is too irresponsible. How can anyone do things like this? This is treating the lives of the people, teachers, and students as a joke.
But Dong Xuebing is not an expert in this field and does not know much about construction materials. That's why he can't judge based on these materials. So, Dong Xuebing took out his phone and started taking pictures of the materials. He looked up and walked into the school building. He took a few pictures of the unfinished walls and even picked up a shovel and poked the wall. A small hole appeared on the wall, and some soil and cement fell to the ground. Dong Xuebing's face changed as he continued to take pictures. How can he let the students go to class with this level of intensity? This bunch of idiots! They are willing to do anything for money!
Suddenly, there is light outside. It seems to be a flashlight.
Dong Xuebing looked out and saw two security guards patrolling the unfinished school field with their flashlights. It's not that there are no security guards around, but they had just patrolled the field. Dong Xuebing frowned and did not continue to take pictures. He kept his phone and left through the back window.
On the way back, Dong Xuebing's heart was heavy. Although he does not know what is wrong with the materials, he knows that these materials are not up to standard. Even he can tell the problems are obvious, and he does not believe that the person in charge and the supervisors don't know about it. That's why it might seem like the materials are not up to standard. But when it comes to the supervisors, it must be related to some of the leaders in Xi Ping District. Dong Xuebing is not in charge of the inspection of construction materials. That is the responsibility of the Quality Supervision Department and the Construction Committee. But if it is related to the leaders, it will be Dong Xuebing's responsibility. This will give him the right to deal with these lawless people!
But how can he find an opportunity?
He can't bring these pictures to the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Dong Xuebing parked his car and had an idea. He took out a laptop from his car and started to write something.
20 minutes later.
Dong Xuebing called Hui Tian Village Station Chief Liu Dahai. Old Liu and Dong Xuebing are friends, and Dong Xuebing can only let him handle this matter.
"Hello, Xuebing?" Liu Dahai yawned.
Dong Xuebing asked. "Old Liu, are you asleep? Did I disturb you and your wife? "
Liu Dahai laughed. "I am still awake. There are too many cases recently, and I can't sleep."
"Then you must take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health. Oh, is it convenient for you to speak at your place?"
"Yes. What is it?"
"Do you have an email address or something? Give me your number. I have something to send to you. It's a report letter and a few pictures. "
"Report letter?"
"Yes. It's not convenient for me to appear. You have many connections. Help me find a reliable person to print a few copies of this. Send two copies to me, and the rest to the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"Anonymous report?"
"Yes. Is it troublesome?"
"It's not a big deal. When do you need it?"
"I need it tomorrow morning."
"So urgent? I will look for someone. It should not be a problem. "
"Ok. Thank you."
If there is no opportunity, then I will create one.
With this self-directed report letter, Dong Xuebing has a reason to appear.
… …
City Party Committee Family Quarters.
Dong Xuebing entered the apartment and looked at his watch. It's past 1 pm, and there is no sound coming from the bedroom. He knew Xie Huilan is asleep, and he took off his clothes and shoes before entering the bedroom. He is afraid to wake Xie Huilan up.
"You are back?" Xie Huilan opened her eyes and looked at Dong Xuebing's face. After that, she closed her eyes and turned around.
"Did I wake you up?"
"Sleep early."
"If you are awake, can I tell you something?"
"Let's talk tomorrow." Xie Huilan replied. "I'm tired."
Dong Xuebing hugged Xie Huilan's head and kissed her on the lips. He even stuck his tongue into her mouth.
"Stop fooling around, alright?" Xie Huilan tilted her head to the side. "I'm sleepy."
Dong Xuebing's impression of Xie Huilan is that she is elegant, mature, and not cute. She will only appear when she is half asleep. Dong Xuebing likes this side of her the most.
"I will tell you, and you listen."
"… ok."
"Someone had reported to me that there are problems with the quality of Xiping Third High School's school buildings. The building materials are not up to standard, and they might be involved in bribery and embezzlement."
"Huh?"
"I had gone to Third High School to take a look, and the situation is not optimistic. The building materials on the ground are broken with just a kick, and the walls are the same. I tried smashing the walls, and I feel that if I hit the walls with all my strength, the walls will collapse. Although the school buildings are not built yet, they should not be so weak." Dong Xuebing took out his phone and showed Xie Huilan a photo album. "Look at Xie Huilan. This is the photo I took."
Xie Huilan opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes. "Help me up."
Dong Xuebing helped Xie Huilan to sit up and lean against the headboard. "Look."
Xie Huilan took the phone and flipped through the pages. She frowned. "There seems to be some problems, but this industry is rigged. We cannot guarantee that all the materials are up to standard. If it is not a big problem, there is no need to investigate further."
Dong Xuebing replied firmly. "Trust me. It is a big problem!"
"Then what do you want to do? Your Commission for Discipline Inspection will lead the investigation? Start with the embezzlement of the relief funds? "
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I think you should bring up this matter with the higher-ups tomorrow. The matter with Xiping No.3 High School, as well as the other schools under construction, are all worthy of caution. You are responsible for disciplining the children, isn't this your responsibility? If you don't raise this issue and something happens to the school buildings, you will also be held responsible. You must get yourself out of this. "
Xie Huilan thought for a while and kept quiet.
"Do you think what I said is reasonable?" Dong Xuebing asked. "Listen to me. This matter is settled."
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Fine. I will listen to you this time. Give me the letter tomorrow morning, and I will report this to the Mayor's office. But I cannot guarantee that the higher-ups will not take any action. After all, this is a sensitive issue. If the construction teams and workers get nervous, our City's reconstruction will not be completed. When the Central Government blames us, no one can bear the responsibility."
"Ok. Just report this to the higher-ups."
