Chapter 561: Nan Shan District's biggest troublemaker!

Afternoon, 1 pm.

Work Party Secretary Office.

Dong Xuebing called Li Lu upstairs but did not allow him to enter his office. He made Li Lu stand outside while he continued with his work.

Li Lu would be furious if he were treated so disrespectfully in the past, but his restaurant's fate lies in Dong Xuebing's hands. He stood outside the office and waited. He had wanted to light a cigarette but gave up this thought after some considerations.

Ten minutes….

Half an hour….

One hour….

Li Lu's legs are aching, but Dong Xuebing did not ask him to enter. He is worried and wonders what will Dong Xuebing do to him.

At this time, Party Secretary Office Director, Zhou Yanru, walks over with a stack of documents.

Li Lu quickly stops her. "Director Zhou, Director Zhou."

Zhou Yanru pulled a long face as Li Lu had disrespected her yesterday. "Are you calling me?"

"I want to apologize for yesterday. I was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me."

Zhou Yanru looked at him and nodded. She is talkative with people she knows, and everyone can hear her voice in the Subdistrict Office every day. But she doesn't say much to people like Li Lu.

Li Lu saw Zhou Yanru nodding and quickly passed her the car keys. "The paperwork for the Santana is in the car, and this is the keys. You must accept it."

"I cannot accept it without the Director's approval."

"Director Zhou, Sister Zhou… can you put in a few good words for me in front of Director Dong?"

Zhou Yanru reprimanded Li Lu. "You should have known better."

"I was ignorant!" Li Lu slapped himself. "Please forgive me. It's all my fault!"

Zhou Yanru nodded. "I will help you ask Director Dong."

"Thank you, Sister Zhou!"

Zhou Yanru is looking forward to that Santana. The Subdistrict Office has a shortage of cars even with Dong Xuebing's Passat. She needs this Santana. Subdistrict Office cannot collect taxes like those village towns. Their funds are from the District Government. That's why she needs this car.

Knock, knock…

"Come in, please." Dong Xuebing said.

Zhou Yanru enters the office. "Director, these are the documents you requested."

"Thank you. Just leave them here." Dong Xuebing looks up. "Where is Mr. Li?"

"He is standing outside for more than an hour." Zhou Yanru looks at Dong Xuebing. "Errr…. Should we accept that, Santana?"

Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and felt it should be enough. "Alright. Ask him to come in."

Zhou Yanru nodded and told Li Lu to enter on her way out.

Li Lu entered Dong Xuebing's office cautiously and closed the door behind him.

Dong Xuebing looked at him and did not allow him to sit. "You should know you had caused disturbances to the surrounding residences. Ping An Subdistrict Office did not take any action against you, but that does not mean you can do whatever you want. Do you know how many people are residing here? Everyone can hear you all shouting yesterday. Going against the residents means you are going against the Government!"

Li Lu replied: "Director, I am wrong. I hope you can give me a chance to repent. I promise I will not cause any disturbances to you or the residents."

This is the right attitude.

Dong Xuebing nodded. "I am not an unforgiving person as long as you are willing to change. I can see your sincerity today."

Li Lu quickly agrees.

Dong Xuebing continues. "But I still want you to tell me what happened during yesterday's banquet."

"Errr…" Li Lu is troubled.

Dong Xuebing raised his voice. "Who asked you to serve that dish?!"

Li Lu does not know how to answer as he did not expect Dong Xuebing to ask him directly. He is different from the other leaders he met in the past and dares to say anything he wants. For example, other Leaders will cut off his electricity secretly and hint to him they are behind it. But Dong Xuebing patted his shoulder and made it known that he was the one who cut his electricity. Li Lu knows Dong Xuebing is not someone he can go against.

Li Lu clenched his teeth and replied. "I know that dish was not suitable to be served, and I asked Director Chu Qinghua whether if we should serve it. But Director Chu hinted me to serve it, and I had no choice."

It's that old bastard!

Dong Xuebing confirmed his suspicions, and he will get back at Chu Qinghua a few days later. "Alright. You can go now."

"Err…" Li Lu took out the car keys. "The keys…"

Dong Xuebing did not reply.

Li Lu understood and placed the keys on the desk before he left. He was relieved after he stepped out of the office.

Downstairs.

Li Lu did not drive the Santana when he left, and all the staff members knew this issue was settled.

Everyone is awed. Their new Director is ruthless.

Although Dong Xuebing had come to Nan Shan District for a week, everyone knew his temper. He sent the District Mayor's brother into the hospital for overdrinking, scolded the District Party Secretary's niece to tears, embarrassed the District Organization Department, taught Nan Qi Morning Papers a lesson, beat up twenty-six civilians, arrested the District Organization Department Chief's relative, and cut the electricity of a restaurant that offended him!

All these happened within a few days.

There's an incident almost every day!

A troublemaker is called a troublemaker because he is always creating trouble. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director is worthy of being called a troublemaker. No Leader in Nan Shan District has ever created so many problems within a few days!

The biggest troublemaker in Nan Shan District!

This is Dong Xuebing's newest nickname!

After work.

Li Zhi Restaurant got their electricity resumed, and they can operate.

Dong Xuebing called Fen Zhou City Electrical Company's General Manager Liu Chenlong to thank him and left his office for the cafeteria. Their cafeteria serves dinner as some staff would have dinner before going home. Dong Xuebing is living alone and is lazy to cook. That's why he had dinner before going home.

It is evening, but it is still bright.

The sidewalks are full of people are rushing home after work.

Dong Xuebing went straight to the shower when he returned to his apartment. He opened a bottle of beer and started to drink on his sofa. He can finally rest after finishing his work. He had settled many conflicts and grudges these few days. Being on the frontline for so many days is tiring. He wants to have a good rest and get his revenge on Chu Qinghua a few days later.

Sleep?

Oh, I should have accumulated a few minutes, and I should practice REVERSE.

Practicing his special powers is a form of relaxation for Dong Xuebing. He could not catch the time required when he tested REVERSE on that pomegranate. He needs to know the exact time required to REVERSE an item.

What item should he try REVERSE on?

What item can show the precise time accurately?

Dong Xuebing finished his beer and switched on the air conditioner. He walks around his apartment, searching for a suitable item. Smash the ashtray and use REVERSE on it? No. It will be too fast, and I cannot gauge the time required. What about an apple? No. Using an apple is the same as the pomegranate. He wants to know how far he can REVERSE with one second. This way, he can use REVERSE accurately.

Dong Xuebing looks around, and his eyes suddenly stopped on an item.

That's it!

This is the perfect item!

Dong Xuebing should have thought of this item before. He walked over and grabbed the small clock, which had a year and date display on the coffee table. Since REVERSE can reverse the time on an item, he can get accurate timing for every second.

Dong Xuebing called out his MENU, and the remaining time was two minutes and four seconds.

Dong Xuebing doesn't want to waste his precious time and uses the four seconds first.

Dong Xuebing focused on the clock with the calendar and mumbled REVERSE!

REVERSE started!

One second….

Two seconds….

Three seconds….

Dong Xuebing could see the hour, minute, second hands moving like crazy. It was too fast for him to keep track of the time, but he could feel the hands are moving anti-clockwise!

Four seconds….

Alright!

REVERSE disabled!

Click! The clock's hands suddenly stopped moving anti-clockwise!

Tick… tick… tick…

The second hand started moving normally again as if nothing had happened.

Dong Xuebing saw the date and time on the clock. The date on the clock was 10th June earlier, and it is displaying 6th June now. This clock had reversed to four days ago!

One second of REVERSE is about one day!

That means one minute is around two months, and ten minutes is around two years!

Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. He can return the status of an item to a few years ago, and it's terrific. After confirming this, he did not waste his precious time. He needs to save his time for emergencies, and he has a better understanding of REVERSE.

BACK….

STOP….

REVERSE….

All these powers are helpful.

Dong Xuebing hummed a song and adjusted the clock before getting another beer from the fridge to celebrate. This was his last beer, and he finished it when he was watching TV. It is around 7 pm, and the stores are opened. He grabbed his wallet and keys to go to the general store opposite to buy more beer and snacks like peanuts.

It is almost dark.

The street lamps were switched on.

Mosquitos and other bugs are buzzing around the street lamps.

Dong Xuebing bought the beer and snacks and walked back to the quarters. Suddenly, he saw an Audi turning out from the quarters. He saw the registration plate, and only the driver was in the car. It is the beautiful District Mayor's car.

Mayor Geng is here again?

Dong Xuebing walks up the stairs slowly.

Click… click… click… Dong Xuebing can hear Geng Yuehua's footsteps, and she has a fast pace. A while later, the footsteps stopped, and he heard a door opening on the fifth floor.

"Sis, you are here."

"Yes. Where's Mum and Dad?"

"They went out for a walk around ten minutes ago."

It was a conversation between Geng Yuehua and Geng Xinke, and the door closed.

Dong Xuebing had reached the third floor, and he continued his way up. Fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor. He reached his apartment and searched for his keys in his pocket.

Suddenly, the door on the fifth floor opened.

Geng Yuehua said. "I will return to my unit first. Call me when they are back."

"Ok. The light on the sixth floor is faulty. Please watch your step."

"Ok." The footsteps started walking up the stairs.

Dong Xuebing found his keys and knew Geng Yuehua had heard him opening his doors. Out of courtesy, he did not enter his apartment and waited for her. He saw her and greeted her. "Mayor Geng, you are back."

Geng Yuehua wore a pair of dark brown pants and a white blouse today. She does not wear necklaces, rings, bracelets, or earrings, and she still looks serious. She is still very pretty without accessories or makeup. Dong Xuebing couldn't help stealing a few glances at her curvy body and beautiful face.

Geng Yuehua saw Dong Xuebing and nodded.

Geng Yuehua took out her keys and opened the door without stopping.

Dong Xuebing is not surprised to see Geng Yuehua not talking to him. He knows she doesn't like to talk to others unless it is about work. She is quiet, and that's why people call her the insensitive Leader.

Dong Xuebing entered his apartment.

Before he could close the door, Geng Yuehua called him. "Oh, your suit."

Dong Xuebing remembers he had lent her a set of his clothes two days ago.

"I was not here yesterday and did not wash it." Geng Yuehua thought for a while. "I will get someone to send it to the laundry later, and you can collect it from me tomorrow."

Dong Xuebing smiles. "Don't trouble yourself. You can pass it to me now."

Geng Yuehua waved her hand. "Tomorrow!"

"It's not dirty, and you don't need to send it to the laundry." Geng Yuehua must have changed out of it yesterday morning, as she was wearing her own clothes at the banquet. She had only worn Dong Xuebing's clothes for around ten minutes, and they should not be dirty. Dong Xuebing imagined she had worn his clothes with nothing underneath and changed his mind. "You can pass it to me now. I will bring it to the laundry downstairs later."

Geng Yuehua looked at him and nodded before entering her apartment.

Dong Xuebing followed her into her apartment and saw his suit and shirt thrown on the bed.

"Thank you." Geng Yuehua thanked.

"It's nothing." Dong Xuebing grabbed the suit. "Have a good rest. I will go off now."

Geng Yuehua nodded and walked him to the door.

Dong Xuebing's apartment.

Dong Xuebing is still thinking of Geng Yuehua's long legs in the living room. He wonders what color of underwear she is wearing under her clothes.

Sigh… why do I think about this?

Dong Xuebing shook his head and went to his bedroom with his suit. He has no intention of sending it to the laundry, and it is not dirty.

Eh? What's this?

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing notices something bulging in his suit's pocket. He reached into it and felt something soft and silky. He slowly pulls it out and looks at it.

Damn!

Dong Xuebing almost fainted. He is holding a pair of dark red lacy underwear in his hand!

Chapter 563: Should I return it?

Night.

Dong Xuebing's apartment.

Dong Xuebing stares at the lacy dark red underwear in his hands and doesn't know what to say.

Underwear!

I saw the beautiful Mayor's underwear again!

Damn! Do you have a grudge against me?!

Why are you always appearing in front of me?! You are getting me into trouble!

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. The first time he saw Geng Yuehua's underwear was at her apartment. A gust of wind had blown it off the laundry rack and almost flew out of the window. He managed to save it with his quick reactions. The second time is in his apartment. Geng Yuehua has washed her underwear and hung it to dry in his bathroom. This is the third time. He never expected to see this pair of dark red underwear again, but it magically appeared. He wants to tear it into pieces!

Dong Xuebing is in a dilemma!

Why is this pair of underwear in the pocket?

Dong Xuebing threw the underwear on the bed and checked the pockets. He reached into another pocket and found an identity card belonging to a man with the surname Geng. He looks at the picture and knows this must be Geng Yuehua and Geng Xinke's father. He had met him yesterday morning.

Identity card?

Underwear?

Why are all these in the pockets?

Dong Xuebing puts the identification card aside and closes his closet. He wiped his sweat and started thinking about what happened.

Geng Yuehua had a gas leak and stayed over at Dong Xuebing's place that night. She washed her underwear, which was soiled by her shower gel, and hung it to dry. But the bathroom is damp, and it was not dry in the morning. The next morning, she borrowed a suit from him as her mother came over to pass her the spare keys. She must feel uncomfortable wearing a pair of damp underwear, and she kept it in the suit's pocket. Her father must have asked her to do something and passed her his identification card in the morning. That's why it is in the other pocket. She was rushing to get to work when she changed to her clothing and forgot about her underwear and identification card. She did not return last night and had forgotten about it.

This must be it!

Damn! What do I have to encounter this?

This is making me uncomfortable!

Dong Xuebing doesn't know what to do. One must be damn lucky to pick up a beautiful District Mayor's underwear, but it is unlucky for him!

Should I return it to her?

What will she think if I return her underwear? Will this leave a bad impression? It's too embarrassing. But what will she think if I don't return it? Oh, why are you keeping my underwear and not returning to me? What are you trying to do with it?!

Both options will get Dong Xuebing into trouble!

Furthermore, an important identification card is in the pocket, and Dong Xuebing cannot feign ignorance.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

Dong Xuebing ponders over this question. Returning or not returning will offend Geng Yuehua, and he had already offended her with 'Woman at 40' at the banquet. This will make things worse!

What should I do?

Dong Xuebing stares at the pair of underwear and punches it to vent his anger. You are just creating trouble for me. But he recalls Geng Yuehua has worn it yesterday morning, and he picks it up. It is too tempting and has a faint, mature woman's smell. This is too hot. Who can imagine the beautiful Mayor likes to wear such sexy underwear?

Dong Xuebing had seen something he was not supposed to see!

The first pair of underwear Dong Xuebing saw at Geng Yuehua's apartment is red, but it is not dark red and lacy like this pair. She should not know he had seen her underwear behind the bathroom door yesterday, and he must not let her know this time. Or else, it will be too embarrassing. This is the District Mayor's secret, and he knows she will not be happy to let another person find out. This pair of sexy lacy underwear is different from the previous pair.

This pair is sexier and daring, and the previous pair is *. Which woman will want to let others know about her secret?

Unlucky is the only word that can describe Dong Xuebing's plight.

What should I do?

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing's mobile phone rang.

Dong Xuebing got a shock and threw the underwear aside. He looks at his phone and quickly answers. "Hello."

"I am Geng Yuehua." She replied.

Dong Xuebing forced a laugh. "Yes… do you have any orders for me?"

"……" Geng Yuehua kept quiet for a few seconds.

"Mayor Geng?"

"… have you brought the suit to the laundry?"

Dong Xuebing knew Geng Yuehua had remembered about her underwear and quickly replied. "Not yet. I kept it in the closet after I reached home. It's too late now. I will bring it tomorrow." He is implying to Geng Yuehua that he had not discovered the items in the pockets. "Err… what is it?"

"I forgot to take out some things from the pockets."

"Ah? There's something in the pockets? I did not notice it." Dong Xuebing pretends not to know anything. "Then… I will check the pockets later. Do you want me to send it over, or are you coming over to get it?" He immediately regrets saying this. If he brings the underwear over, Geng Yuehua will know he has seen her sexy underwear. That's why he asked this question, hoping she could come over to get it herself. He can put back the underwear into the pocket and pretends not to know about it. But he is giving himself away by asking that question. Geng Yuehua is smart, and she can sense it.

There was a pause again.

One second….

Two seconds….

"……. I will not go over. Bring it to me. That's it."

Du… du… du…. Geng Yuehua hangs up.

Dong Xuebing is speechless. Damn! You want me to bring it over?! This might be fine for the identification card, but the underwear…. Why don't you come over to get it yourself!?

F*k!

Dong Xuebing knows Geng Yuehua knew he must have seen that pair of underwear. To see it, he must have taken it out of the pocket and touched it. So, it makes no difference with her coming to collect it or Dong Xuebing sending it to her. But Dong Xuebing doesn't want to send it to her. There's still a great difference between it is made known to both. If Geng Yuehua comes to collect it from the pockets, Dong Xuebing can pretend not to know anything and not be awkward. If he sends it to her, she might felt uncomfortable, and who knows if she will make things difficult for him in the future?

This is a woman's item, and it is still sexy lacy underwear.

Could it be the beautiful District Mayor has a grudge against him, and she has no intentions of letting him off? Or does she not like to pretend, and she likes to settle problems directly? It might be too embarrassing for her to try to cover up, and might as well let him send it over to show that she doesn't mind?

No matter what Geng Yuehua is thinking, Dong Xuebing is in trouble. He could not avoid it as she had spoken!

What should I do?

Return it!

Dong Xuebing found a plastic bag and stuffed the red underwear and Geng Yuehua's father's identification card into it. He sighed and went opposite to knock on her door.

Knock, knock.

Geng Yuehua opens the door and looks at him without saying anything.

Dong Xuebing quickly pass the plastic bag to her. "Everything is inside. I…"

Geng Yuehua took the plastic bag from him. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it." Dong Xuebing blushed. "Err… do you have any other instructions for me?"

It is an awkward situation.

Geng Yuehua looks at Dong Xuebing into his eyes. "… no." After that, she returns to her apartment and closes the door behind her.

Dong Xuebing returned to his apartment and sighed. He wonders if Mayor Geng is angry with him.

Underwear… why are you keep causing trouble for me?!

Am I fated with you? Stop torturing me!

Translator's notes: This author is obsessed with underwear and stockings. Lol, the whole chapter is just about a pair of dark red lacy underwear.

Chapter 564: Standout!

The next day.

Friday morning.

Dong Xuebing woke up early. He stood by the windows and saw the District Government's Audi A6 waiting downstairs after washing up and breakfast. It seems to have just arrived. He grabbed his bag and keys and listened to any movements outside his door.

"Click…" It is the sound of a door opening from downstairs.

"I am leaving." Geng Yuehua said.

"Are you coming back tonight?" Geng Yuehua's mother asked.

"It depends."

"If you are coming back for dinner, give me a call."

"Ok." Tut… tut… tut… the high heels footsteps sounds are getting further. She is walking down the stairs.

Dong Xuebing heard it and quickly opened his door. He walks down the stairs, and Geng Xinke's apartment door has closed. "Fourth floor," "Third floor," "Second floor" The footsteps are fast and loud. When Dong Xuebing reached the landing of the first floor, he saw Geng Yuehua's back. She had pined her hair up and did not have any make upon. But she had changed her heels and wore a pair of black stockings.

Geng Yuehua has the attractiveness of a mature woman.

Dong Xuebing finally caught up with her on the ground floor. "Good morning, Mayor Geng."

Geng Yuehua turns and looks at him. "…… morning."

"Have you taken your breakfast?"

"Yes."

Geng Yuehua did not stop and went straight to the Audi. She got in quickly and closed the door.

"Fine." She must be mad with me.

Dong Xuebing stood there and watched the Audi drives out of the compound. He woke up early to 'meet' Geng Yuehua and see her attitude towards him after the 'underwear incident.' But she still treated him like before, and he could not tell what she was thinking. He felt he could take it as she was offended. He had snatched her younger brother's position, sent him to the hospital, and ordered an insulting dish. She will not be so forgiving to forgive him after so many incidents.

Morning.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

When Dong Xuebing reached his office, Zhou Yanru entered with a stack of documents. "Director, my husband thanked you for the cigarettes."

Dong Xuebing smiles. "Don't mention it. Let me know when he finishes it. I still have some here."

"Haha… I don't dare."

"Oh, what is it?"

Zhou Yanru puts the documents on the desk neatly. "The District had called for a last-minute meeting. It is at 10 am in the District Government building. The meeting is about the management of the nursing homes, and all Subdistrict Office Directors and Civil Affairs Leaders must attend. This meeting was supposed to be held in the District's Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it was delayed. The venue is changed to the District Government, and they seem to be very concerned about this. These are the information prepared by the office department for your reference."

"10 am?" Dong Xuebing flipped the document. "Alright. Is the Passat available?"

"It is parked in the backyard. Do you want me to arrange a driver?"

"No need. I will go alone."

Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and did not leave immediately. The District had previously issued directives on respecting and honoring the elderlies and wanted all Subdistrict Offices to submit a report. Now, they want a meeting to discuss nursing home management. He doesn't know what the District Government is trying to do. Nan Shan District is one of the top few Districts when it comes to elderly care. They are much better than Yan Tai County and don't need to do anything to improve it. They have sufficient funds and manpower, but why are they keep emphasizing elderlies recently? Although he is puzzled, he must be prepared. He read all the documents in his office before driving to the District Government Building. He did not drive his Cayenne as he is going to the District Government.

Nan Shan District.

District Government Building.

Dong Xuebing arrived slightly late because he was reading the documents. He saw many Subdistrict Offices' cars parked outside.

Sixth floor. District Government Meeting Room.

Almost all the seats were taken up, and other than a few leaders whispering to each other, it was very quiet. A few secretaries are arranging documents on the rostrum. There are no nameplates on the tables, and Dong Xuebing sat on an empty seat. He didn't know anyone there, and he waited quietly for the meeting to start. This meeting is for Subdistrict Office Directors, Ministry of Civil Affairs Leaders, People's Office staff. Social Affairs Directors and Deputy Directors. It's rare to see anyone below thirty years old at this level, and Dong Xuebing, who is in his twenties, stood out among them. Also, he is an unfamiliar face, and many people notice him.

This is Dong Xuebing's first meeting at the District Government, and no one knows him.

Dong Xuebing sat beside a Government Staff in his early thirties. He is a Deputy Director from the District's Social Affairs Office. He looks at Dong Xuebing and wonders who he is. When did Nan Shan District have such a young middle management leader? Out of curiosity, he asked. "You are?"

Dong Xuebing looks at him. "Dong Xuebing. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director."

That person paused for a second and quickly extended his hand for a handshake.

"…. Nice to meet you."

"Me too." Dong Xuebing shook his hand.

That person had changed his attitude immediately after hearing his name.

The Deputy Director had thought this young man had come to the wrong place and asked him out of curiosity.

It turns out to be the Director of a Subdistrict Office. Not only he has more authority, but his rank is also higher. How can he get to Section Chief rank at his age? Is he even twenty-four?

Even if this person has backings, he also cannot get promoted so fast. Did he climb up with credits? How great must his credit be to be promoted so fast? Even Nan Shan District's youngest Division Chief level, Geng Yuehua, become a Subdistrict Office Work Party Secretary and Director at twenty-seven.

A twenty-four years old Subdistrict Office is standing out too much!

Chapter 565: National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit inspection!

Morning.

District Government No. 4 meeting room.

The room was quiet as the District Leaders walked up the podium and sat at their respective seats. The meeting on the District Government's management of the nursing homes had started.

Dong Xuebing is surprised to see District Mayor Geng Yuehua attending this meeting. She sat at the main seat, and he didn't know some of them, as there were no nameplates on the table. The District Executive Deputy Mayor, Shen Fei, is sitting beside Geng Yuehua. Dong Xuebing can recognize him because he had seen his photographs on the Government Website before. He is in his early thirties and is considered young for his position. He looks cultured, and his education level should be high.

The District Mayor and Executive Deputy Mayor are here for the meeting.

Why are they so concerned about this meeting? Is there something going on?

Dong Xuebing is not the only one with such thoughts. District Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei organizes this meeting, but the District Mayor is attending. Most of the attendees are a surprise, but a few seem to know this will happen.

Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei starts the meeting.

Shen Fei announced the start of the meeting and passed the microphone to District Mayor Geng.

Geng Yuehua looks at the attendees. "I will talk about the progress of our District's Nursing Home management first. I have read the reports from all the subdistricts. Some have done well, and some progress is slower. Among all the subdistricts, Ping An Subdistrict had done the best. Their Nursing homes' management is the best."

Ping An Subdistrict Office's Director Chu Qinghua, who was seated below, remained emotionless.

Dong Xuebing frowned and looked at Chu Qinghhua. Many other Subdistrict Directors also looked at him.

Praising Ping An Subdistrict Office at the start of her speech?!

What is the underlying meaning?

Geng Yuehua continues. She did not prepare any scripts and continued giving out a series of directives.

Geng Yuehua had analyzed the District's nursing homes and found issues with the management. This is the critical period for the neighborhood nursing homes. The various Subdistricts and relevant departments must speed up the construction, and they must house at least 55% of the elderly. She also emphasized the duration. The construction must not be delayed, and the person in charge from various Subdistricts must monitor closely. Third, all nursing homes must be integrated to have higher efficiency. She mentioned that the Neighborhood Nursing Home is an important project ordered from the higher-ups. All Subdistrict Offices must be hands-on, and the supplies must be prepared.

Geng Yuehua took three minutes to finish six directives.

Geng Yuehua is direct and speaks fast. It's hard to imagine she can remember everything without a script.

Dong Xuebing and the rest took notes.

Geng Yuehua paused for a while and looked at Chu Qinghua. "Director Chu, come up and share Ping An Subdistrict Office's situation with the rest."

Chu Qinghua quickly walks up the podium.

The Leader's words are directives and orders, and Chu Qinghua cannot speak like Geng Yuehua. Many of the attendees have the same rank as him, and he cannot give them orders. That's why he can only mention his experiences and how he coordinated the construction.

When the meeting was about to end, the Executive Deputy Mayor, Shen Fei, took the microphone and announced. "The inspection team from the Central Government will be visiting Ping An Subdistrict Office. Nan Shan District had nominated them as a candidate for this year's National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit."

No wonder the District Mayor praised Chu Qinghua at the start of the meeting.

The District is so focused on respecting and caring for the elderly this year because they are helping Ping An Subdistrict Office win the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit. This is a prestigious award. More than a thousand individuals won the National Respect and Cared for the elderly model citizens. Still, only a dozen units can get the model unit award. It might be a dozen and sounds a lot, but this is selected from all over China. On average, there are two winners from every Province, and one Province has over ten thousand units.

Because of the Subdistrict Office's work nature, it's hard for them to achieve results. Even if they have results, it will be overshadowed by the District Government. It cannot be compared to Village Township levels. Such model unit selection is the best way for a Subdistrict Office to shine. The Central Government will send an inspection team to visit the nominated Subdistrict. The China National Committee will decide the winner on Ageing and Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is a significant achievement, and this is why the District placed such high emphasis on it.

Meeting ended.

All the Subdistrict Office Directors started discussing it.

None of Fen Zhou City's departments or units have ever won the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit, let alone Nan Shan District. A Fen Zhou City's Neighborhood was nominated before, but they failed the first round of inspection.

Will it be the same this time?

No one knows, but many people are jealous of Chu Qinghua.

Dong Xuebing is also jealous. A National Role Model Unit. When he was Yan Tai County Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief, the Bureau had applied for a "National Advance Unit Award." All the departments tried their best, but they could not even get nominated. It's not easy to get nominated for "National" model units or advance units awards.

But Ping An Subdistrict Office got it this time.

What the hell?!

Dong Xuebing is unhappy. If another unit or department is nominated, he will smile and congratulate them. But Ping An Subdistrict Office is Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's rival, and he has grudges with Chu Qinghua. He will not forget how Chu Qinghua served the dish Woman at 40 to let him offend the Leaders and was still thinking of ways to get back at him. Before he could think of a way, Ping An Subdistrict was nominated, and Nan Shan District's top leaders supported him.

"Congratulations, Director Chu."

"Old Chu, your Subdistrict Office is making us proud."

"Haha… the inspection has not started, and we don't even know if we can pass it."

"Are you being modest? With the District Government supporting you all, what's there to be worry about?"

"The National Respect and Care for the elderly's commendation awards are next months in Beijing. There's not much time left. Old Chu, I am waiting to see you on TV."

A few Leaders, who are close to Chu Qinghua, congratulated him.

Chu Qinghua felt proud as he chatted with them. Suddenly, he notices Dong Xuebing and smirk.

Dong Xuebing saw it, and his eyes turned cold. Are you trying to provoke me?!

Old Bastard! You are seeking your death!

Dong Xuebing knows even if he tells Geng Yuehua and the District Party Secretary's wife that Chu Qinghua had purposely served that dish to insult them, they will not believe it. Also, doing such things will leave a bad impression, and he doesn't have evidence. Li Lu will not dare to be his witness, and that's why he never brings it up again. Chu Qinghua is the culprit who caused him to drift apart from the Leaders. How can he get the title of Role Model Unit?

How is he qualified?!

Dong Xuebing called for a Work Party Committee meeting when he got back to Guang Ming Subdistrict. The District's orders involve both the Party Committee and Government. Other than the Work Party Committee Members, a few Office Department Deputy Directors and related department heads attended this meeting.

Dong Xuebing controlled his emotions and conveyed the District's directives to them.

Everyone felt uncomfortable after hearing it. It is not because they had neglected this issue. They are busy with other work and cannot focus on the elderly issues every day! They had been working on it for more than a month!

Dong Xuebing paused for a second and announced. "Ping An Subdistrict Office is nominated for this year's National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit, and the Central Government's inspection team will be arriving tomorrow morning."

"The National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit?!"

"Ping An Subdistrict Office?!"

Everyone finally understands why the District Government had given out those directives.

Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang frowned.

Geng Xinke seldom showed up in front of Dong Xuebing recently. He seems to be avoiding Dong Xuebing and looks like he is waiting for an opportunity to get back at him. His face changed when he heard Ping An Subdistrict Office was nominated.

How can they get nominated?

How can a Subdistrict Office that is only concerned about vanity projects be nominated?!

Everyone became upset, like Dong Xuebing after this announcement.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 566 – Central Government's Inspection Team is here!

Afternoon.

Everyone in Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is angry.

"Have you heard it? Ping An Subdistrict Office is nominated for the role model unit."

"I know! How can they get nominated?! Are the judges blind?!"

"They are role models?! I think they cannot even get past the first inspection round!"

"Our Province had nominated more than a dozen units, but only one or two can be selected. They will never be selected."

"That's right. Li Zhi Restaurant had caused noise pollution at that time, and many residents complained against them. But Ping An Subdistrict did not send anyone to check on them! How can they be a role model unit for National Respect and Care for the elderly? Who have they respected before?!"

"But the District Government is supporting them."

"Sigh… it's a role model unit. It will be terrific if we are the ones that got nominated."

"They must have used their connections. They will never be nominated if they go through proper channels."

Side building.

Office.

After instructing his men to work on the Nursing homes, Dong Xuebing sat at his desk to smoke. He needs to get a significant achievement urgently. He had offended too many people and has not taken a side. He doesn't have a superior in the District. The latter can help him, resulting in him drifting further away from the District Government. He felt outcasted by the District and other Subdistrict Offices from this meeting. It is not a good sign and is creating pressure for him. If he can get an outstanding result, for example, the role model unit's nomination, all his troubles will be solved. The District and others will not do anything to him even when they are unhappy with his working style.

But… these are not happening.

Dong Xuebing knows it's hard to get the National Role Model unit and the National Advanced unit. Just getting nominated is difficult enough. He must do a good job, and he must also have good marketing and show good results. He has to ensure no one can find any problems in his work. All these are the criteria to get nominated.

Chu Qinghua!

Ping An Subdistrict!

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes and snubbed his cigarette.

Ring… ring… ring… The caller display showed "Mum."

"Hello." Dong Xuebing answered unhappily. "Mum, what is it?"

Luan Xiaoping asked. "What happened? Are you busy?"

Dong Xuebing sighed. "It's just some problems at work. I'm fine. Eh? Are you outside?" He can hear cars honking in the background.

"Yes. I have just finished work, and I am thinking of visiting you."

"Oh, alright. Come over."

"It's Nan Shan District, Guang Ming Street, right? I don't know where your quarter is. Where do I wait for you?"

"You can wait for me at the garden east of Guang Ming Street. It is not far from our quarters."

"Ok. See you later."

"Oh, can you help me buy some groceries? I don't have any food at home."

"You are so lazy."

Dong Xuebing looks at the clock after hanging up and continues to finish his work. He left ten minutes early and drove to Guang Ming Street garden.

It was around five plus when Dong Xuebing reached. He could not see his mother and sat on a bench to smoke.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing saw Luan Xiaoping walking with bags of groceries at a distance.

Dong Xuebing stood up and walked towards her. He noticed there were others with his mother. There is a man in his forties, a woman in her forties, and another man in his thirties. They are dressed in suits and don't look like a family. They look more like Government staff, and that middle-aged man is smiling and talking to Luan Xiaoping.

"Hi, is this Ping An Street?"

"Ping An Street is on the other side of this road. This is Guang Ming Street."

"Oh, are you staying around here? Do you know where the nursing homes are?"

"I don't know. I am not staying here."

They kept asking Luan Xiaoping about this area and asked her where the elderlies usually gather. Luan Xiaoping is wary of them and keeps staring at them.

Dong Xuebing felt something was amiss and quickly walked over. "Mum!"

"Xiao Bing." Luan Xiaoping was assured when she saw Dong Xuebing. She is afraid these three people are criminals who are going to abduct women.

Dong Xuebing looks at those three people. "This…"

"I don't know them." Luan Xiaoping whispered. "I don't know what they are trying to do."

The middle-aged man smiles when he sees Luan Xiaoping is wary of them. "I'm sorry if we scared you. We have no other intentions. Sorry to disturb you."

Dong Xuebing doesn't believe these people are criminals. He saw that man's jade pendant when he approached his mother. After dealing with antiques for so long, he can tell the dragon pendant is worth a lot. It is an ice-grade jade, and it is worth more than one million RMB. Which criminal will wear such expensive pendants to abduct women?

These people are asking about Ping An Street?!

They are asking about nursing homes?!

Dong Xuebing looked at them and asked. "Are you the leader of the Central Government's National Respect and Care for the elderly inspection team?"

The three of them were stunned.

Cheng Yandong curiously asks. "You are?"

Dong Xuebing extended his hand for a handshake. "Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's Director, Dong Xuebing."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They did not expect to be recognized so easily, especially from a young Subdistrict Office Director.

Cheng Yandong shook Dong Xuebing's hand. "Hi, I'm Cheng Yandong, from the National Committee on Ageing."

The other middle-aged woman and the man introduced themselves. One of them is from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the other is from the Central Youth League Committee. Cheng Yandong is the team leader, and they should not be high-rank leaders. They should be Deputy Division Chief or Division Chief rank at most, and they don't have much authority. But they are the inspection team for Hebei Province nominees and can decide which unit enters the next round. They are the big shots for those selected units.

Dong Xuebing replied. "Thank you for coming to Nan Shan District. I thought you were arriving tomorrow. Are your lodgings arranged? Should I make the arrangements for you?"

Cheng Yandong shook his hand and smiled. "We have booked our hotel rooms."

The middle-aged woman looks at Cheng Yandong. "Team Leader, that way."

Cheng Yandong nodded and said goodbye to Dong Xuebing before crossing the road to Ping An Subdistrict.

Dong Xuebing carried the groceries for his mother. "Let's go."

"Are they from the Central Government?" Luan Xiaoping asked.

Dong Xuebing nodded. "They are the inspection team for a role model unit award. I think they are planning a surprise inspection, but this has nothing to do with our Subdistrict."

Luan Xiaoping nodded. "Shouldn't you inform the District about their arrival?"

Luan Xiaoping reminded Dong Xuebing, and he smiled. "Ah… Seems like Old Yang had taught you a lot. Your political wisdom is higher than me now."

Luan Xiaoping laughed. "You dare to tease me?!"

"Haha… I am praising you."

Family quarters.

Luan Xiaoping stopped Dong Xuebing from helping and entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Dong Xuebing looked at his mother and sat on the sofa. Luan Xiaoping is right. The inspection team had arrived secretly, and he should have informed Ping An Subdistrict Office since he had met them. Although Dong Xuebing has a grudge with Chu Qinghua, he still has to inform him. After all, he had introduced himself to Cheng Yandong earlier. If the District Government knows Dong Xuebing knew the inspection team had arrived and did not inform anyone, he will be in trouble.

Dong Xuebing called Ping An Subdistrict Office. He did not call Chu Qinghua on his phone because they had fallen out.

Ring… ring… ring…

"Hello, Party Office. Who are you looking for?" A young man answered.

Dong Xuebing replied. "I am Dong Xuebing, from Guang Ming Subdistrict."

The other party paused for a second. "Oh, I will transfer your call to Director Chu."

"No need. The Central Government…."

The young man had transferred the call to the Director's office.

Dong Xuebing is frustrated. Damn! Didn't you hear me? Everyone in Ping An Subdistrict Office has no respect for me!

"Hello." Chu Qinghua answered.

Dong Xuebing coldly replied. "I'm Dong Xuebing."

"Eh?" There was a short pause. "Haha… Director Dong? What is it?"

What's with this attitude?

Dong Xuebing can't be bothered to waste time talking to him. "I met the Central Government Inspection Team's leader on my way home. They are in Nan Shan District and are asking around for your nursing homes' addresses. You all better be prepared."

Chu Qinghua frowned. "They have arrived?" He doesn't seem to believe Dong Xuebing's words.

"I have informed you…."

"I know!"

Du… du… du…. Chu Qinghua hangs up.

F*CK!

Dong Xuebing is furious. I had called to ask you all to get ready for the sudden inspection, and you hung up on me?! What's wrong with your attitude? You don't even thank me and cut me off like this!

Old bastard!

Chapter 567: It is impolite not to return the favor!

Evening.

7 pm.

Dong Xuebing is having dinner with his mother. He pulled a long face and kept quiet as he ate.

"Xiao Bing, what's wrong?"

"Nothing…"

"Everything is written on your face. Who had offended you again?"

"It's an old bastard, Chu Qinghua!"

"You are scolding others again. Why is your temper so foul?"

"It's not my fault." Dong Xuebing banged the table. "I called Chu Qinghua to inform him about the Central Government's inspection team arrival and asked them to get ready. But he did not even thank me and hung up on me! What did I do wrong?"

Luan Xiaoping frowned. "Why are there such people?"

"This is not everything. He did not invite me to his son's wedding banquet a few days ago. I passed by the restaurant and went in to congratulate him with one of my subordinates. I am giving him face by congratulating him, but guess what. He backstabbed me. He knew I was unfamiliar with the dishes at this restaurant and let them serve a plate of soybean residues. This caused me to offend our District Party Secretary's wife and the District Mayor. This is how despicable he is, and that was not the only time! He had tried framing me again and again!"

Luan Xiaoping kept quiet.

Dong Xuebing's patience has a limit. This is the third time Chu Qinghua had provoked him!

F*CK!

You think you can backstab and frame me again and again?

Fine! I shall show you my true colors today!

Dong Xuebing returns to his bedroom after dinner and switches on his laptop. He searched for the National Respect and Cared for the elderly's model unit awards information online. You want to get this award? Fine! I will return the favor and give you a surprise! I shall see if your Subdistrict can pass the Central Government's Inspection!

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Dong Xuebing is typing on the keyboard while his mother starts to clean up the apartment.

"Son, do you still want to keep the newspaper in the cabinet?"

"Which date is it?"

"Oh, these are last year's papers. It's been a few months."

"No need. The previous Party Secretary must have left those behind."

"Eh? This article is about Ping An Subdistrict's nursing home. Xiao Bing, come and see."

Dong Xuebing walks to the living room. "What is it?" He took the Fen Zhou Daily from his mother.

The header on the third page is Missing elderly from the nursing home. Who should be responsible?.

The report is about an incident that happened in a nursing home located in Nan Shan District, Ping An Subdistrict. This newspaper is around four to five months old, and this incident happened last year. A resident, Su Xiaochun, had sent her mother to a nursing home in Ping An Subdistrict. Her mother has dementia, and she had reminded the nursing home about her condition. But three days later, Su Xiaochun's mother went missing. They reported to the police, and she was still missing after one month. Su Xiaochun returned to the nursing to demand an explanation and compensation. But the nursing home insisted they were not responsible for this incident and refused to compensate her.

Luan Xiaoping is mad after reading this article. "They are shirking responsibility! How can a nursing home do this?"

Dong Xuebing agrees with his mother. How can this nursing home avoid responsibility, and Ping An Subdistrict still dares to apply to be nominated for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit?!

Dong Xuebing took the newspaper back to his room and called Su Jia.

"Hello, Xuebing?"

"Sister Su, are you still at work? I need your help."

"Haha… I'm working overtime and am still in the office. What is it?"

"I have a copy of 7th January Fen Zhou Daily papers with me, and I need your help to check on one article." Dong Xuebing briefly asks about the article and hangs up.

A few minutes later, Su Jia called.

It's been six months, and Su Xiaochun's mother is still missing. The nursing home made compensated 10,000 RMB out of goodwill, but it's too little. They are not even sincere about it as they refuse to admit it was their fault. Su Xiaochun and her family had gone to the nursing home a few times but could not get any explanation from them.

"Do you have Su Xiaochun's contact number?"

"Yes." Su Jia told Dong Xuebing the number recorded in the files.

"Thanks, Sis."

Dong Xuebing looked at the phone number and checked his phone's contacts. In the end, he called Guo Panwei.

"Panwei, I need you to do something for me."

"Say it! I promise to get it done!" Guo Panwei's tone is still respectful towards Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing felt good and told him about his plan. He even repeated his instructions twice.

7.30 pm.

Ping An Subdistrict, a residential building in Mei Zhuang Neighborhood.

Su Xiaochun, in her forties, is watching TV with her husband. There is no more laughter in the house since her mother went missing six months ago. She regretted sending her mother to the nursing home. If she had not sent her mother to the nursing home, she would not have gone missing.

Ring… ring… ring… the house phone rang.

Su Xiaochun answered. "Hello."

A man said. "Are you Ms. Su Xiaochun?"

"Who are you?"

"I am a reporter from Nan Qi Morning papers and would like to conduct a phone interview with you. Can I take up a few minutes of your time?"

"Reporter? What is it?"

"It's like this. I heard that your mother is still missing, and the case is not settled. Has Mei Zhuang Nursing Home given you any explanation? The Central Government's inspection team for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit awards had arrived, and Ping An Subdistrict is selected to be nominated for this award. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"What?!" Su Xiaochun exploded. "They still want to be the model unit?! My mother is still missing! They still cannot locate my mother!"

Su Xiaochun's husband looks at her. "Xiao Chun, what happened?"

Su Xiaochun hung up the phone in anger. "The Central Government Leaders are here! I must get them to give me an explanation this time!"

Chapter 568 – A Fight Broke out!

Next morning.

Dong Xuebing lazed in bed despite smelling the fragrance of sausages and toast.

Luan Xiaoping entered Dong Xuebing's room and pushed him. "Breakfast is ready. Wake up."

"Let me sleep a while more. I am not working today."

"Didn't you say you have to work on your Subdistrict's nursing homes?"

"The Subdistrict's staff are doing the work. I only need to check on them later."

"Then you should also get up. Hurry up, or breakfast is cold."

Dong Xuebing was more hardworking when he was living alone. He would wake up early to prepare breakfast and clean up. But when his mother is around, he has someone to depend on and becomes lazy. He lazed for a while more and got up unwillingly to wash up. He saw the breakfast on the table and started eating.

Luan Xiaoping ate fast and took out that copy of Fen Zhou Daily. "This nursing home is too much. I am so angry with them."

Dong Xuebing chewed on the sausage. "They have a problem with their attitude."

"Aren't you a Subdistrict Office Director? Can't you do anything?"

"That is in Ping An Subdistrict and is not under my jurisdiction."

"That family's mother had gone missing from the nursing home. How come no one is doing anything?"

Dong Xuebing finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth. "Don't worry, Mum. I have made arrangements. It depends on her on whether if she can get justice."

Dong Xuebing suddenly rang.

It's Zhou Yanru calling from her office. "Director, am I disturbing you?"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "No. I just had breakfast and am about to go to work. What is it?"

"I passed by a Ping An Subdistrict's nursing home on my way to work this morning, and there seems to be someone quarreling. The Ping An Subdistrict's Leaders are all there."

"Eh? What happened?"

"I think they have some disputes, and I am not sure what happened."

"Ok."

Zhou Yanru is gloating. The Central Government's inspection team had just arrived, and the nursing home had problems. This is what Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staff wished for.

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing no longer feels sleepy. He had asked Guo Panwei to impersonate Nan Qi reporter to call that family, and this is the outcome. He bid goodbye to Luan Xiaoping and left with his bag. He is not driving today as he doesn't want to stand out. He took a taxi and entered Ping An Subdistrict within a few minutes. He told the driver to turn and stop outside a small garden in front of a neighborhood.

Mei Zhuang Neighborhood.

Su Lao Nursing Home.

Dong Xuebing aligned and saw a crowd gathering at the entrance of Su Lao Nursing Home. He could see Chu Qinghua and a few Ping An Subdistrict Leaders. A middle-aged woman is yelling, and the inspection team members are there too.

"Six months! It's been six months, and my mother is still missing!"

"I understand how you feel, but this incident is…."

"What do you understand?! It's not your mother who is missing! Of course, you are not anxious!"

"How can you scold us?"

"I am scolding you all! If you all had done your work properly, how can my mother go missing?! The Subdistrict Office pretended nothing had happened and refused to help us! You all are just abusing your authority and shirking responsibility when something happens! You all are a bunch of parasites!"

"You all are parasites!"

"Please calm down!"

"How am I supposed to calm down?! My mother is missing!"

Su Xiaochun yelled at the Subdistrict Leaders and the people in charge of the nursing home. A middle-aged man and two middle-aged women are beside her, and they should be her relatives. They are also scolding the nursing home's staff!

"Bring back my Aunt!"

"How can you all be nominated as role model unit?! *Spit!"

"Everyone be our judge! How can this nursing home be nominated for the Respect and Care for the elderly role model unit?! Bullshit!"

Mei Zhuang neighborhood was formerly a farming village and was under the villagers' committee. But it was integrated into the Township and fell under a neighborhood committee. That's why Su Xiaochun and her family are bold and unreasonable. They dare to spew all sorts of vulgarities at the nursing home's staff.

The residents heard about this incident six months ago, and most of them are on Su Xiaochun's side. They started criticizing the staff.

"This is too much!"

"That's right. How can they brush this incident off with just 10,000 RMB compensation?"

"Do they think a person's life is only worth 10,000 RMB?! Did they think lives are so worthless?!"

It was chaotic as the crowd started to join Su Xiaochun in scolding the staff. The scolding went on for a few minutes, and Su Xiaochun rolled up her sleeves. She was about to raise her fist at Ping An Subdistrict's Leaders and staff. Dong Xuebing did not expect her and her family to be so fierce, but he did not go over to stop her. He found a bench under a tree and sat on it to watch the show. He crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette. He smiled when he saw Chu Qinghua's grim expression. You like to use dirty tricks behind my back. Fine. I shall do the same to you! Dong Xuebing felt his political wisdom had increased recently. If he encounters such people in the past, he will use his fists. But now, he has started to use his brains and knows how to scheme others.

Chu Qinghua's lungs almost exploded due to his anger. Why is this family creating trouble when the inspection team is here? The nomination is not reported in the papers, and this scenario is what he was worried.

All Ping An Subdistrict Office staff are looking terrible. None of them had expected this to happen on this important day. They had just been nominated for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit. This dispute happens when the Central Government inspection team is around. This is a disgrace!

Chu Qinghua finally stepped in when he saw his staff could not persuade the woman to stop. "Comrade, calm down and let's talk inside!"

Su Xiaochun shouted. "Just say it here and let everyone be the judge!"

Chu Qinghua is looking terrible. "Are you trying to settle this problem, or are you trying to cause trouble? We will go inside and settle your problem! Don't worry. Our Subdistrict Office will give you and your family an explanation!"

"Don't worry?!" Su Xiaochun scolded. "Don't worry, my ass! The Subdistrict Office and the nursing home are together in this! It is also your Subdistrict Office who refused to compensate us! We will settle it here!" She continued yelling and noticed a few people beside Chu Qinghua not saying anything. She shouted. "Are you all the Central Government's Leaders?! You all must help my family get justice!"

Chu Qinghua's face changed. How come this woman knows the Central Government's Leaders are here? This incident is not as simple as it seems! Someone might have planned this! Damn!

The inspection team consists of seven people.

The team leader, Cheng Yandong, looked at Su Xiaochu and replied in a soft tone. "I don't know what happened. Can you explain your mother's incident to us in detail?"

Su Xiaochun is overjoyed. "Sure. About six months ago, my mother…."

Chu Qinghua's heart skipped a beat when he saw the inspection team members taking notes and asking Su Xiaochun about the incident.

Cheng Yandong listened attentively to Su Xiaochun. He nodded and frowned. This is not his first time taking part in the inspection team for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit. He knows some nursing homes or seniors' activity centers have problems, and disputes cannot be prevented. But he felt that problems must be settled quickly by the relevant departments. Su Xiaochun's mother had gone missing for six months, and it was not settled. Furthermore, people had come to the nursing home to create trouble during his inspection. This is the biggest problem! Ping An Subdistrict Office had not done their job well!

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Su Xiaochun finally finished explaining what happened to the inspection team.

But the nursing home's person in charge is unhappy. Su Xiaochun is biased and described their nursing home as a criminal den. He was also upset after getting cursed and swear by her and her family. He glared him Su Xiaochun.

"Are you telling the truth?! Ah?! We have stated everything in the contract, and you signed it! Your mother has dementia, and our nursing home is not responsible if anything happens to her! This is written in the contract, and don't accuse us of any wrongdoings!"

Su Xiaochun flared up again. "You all only know how to collect money from us and push the blame to us when something happens!" The person in charge shouted. "You are unreasonable!"

The person in charge's attitude caused Su Xiaochun and her family to explode with anger. This guy was the one who refused any compensation and got the security to kick them out!

Su Xiaochun pounced forward. "Bastard! I will kill you now!"

Su Xiaochun swung her arm and scratched the person in charge's face!

The person in charge blocked Su Xiaochun frantically. "Stop! What are you trying to do?!"

Su Xiaochun's family also rushed forward!

"He is the culprit!"

"Beat him up!"

"You let you all help us take care of my mother, and you lost her! Return my mother now!"

Su Xiaochun and her relatives surrounded the person in charge and started beating him up!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 569: You all dare to hit the Central Government's Leader?!

Mei Zhuang.

The situation in front of the neighborhood nursing home is out of control.

Su Xiaochun and her family had surrounded the nursing home's person in charge and beat him up. She managed to scratch him several times!

"Arrgh!"

"Beat him up!"

"Stop! Calm down!"

"Stop fighting!"

Chu Qinghua and the Subdistrict Office staff are shouting at them to stop!

But Su Xiaochun and her family are blinded by rage.

The nursing home's staff saw their leader being beaten up, and they rushed forward to help him. They don't dare to retaliate as many Leaders are looking at them and can only block Su Xiaochun and her family. But something unexpected happened! A younger staff is the third person to rush forward to help the person in charge. He is afraid Su Xiaochun will scratch his face and cover his face as he goes forward. He did not notice Cheng Yandong shouting at them to stop and knocked into him. Cheng Yandong was knocked off-balance and fell to the ground!

"Team Leader Cheng!"

"Leader!"

"Director Cheng!"

Everyone, including Chu Qinghua, is shocked!

Everyone froze for two seconds.

Suddenly, Su Xiaochun pointed at the nursing home's staff and shouted something that almost caused Chu Qinghua to faint. "You all still dare to hit the Central Government's Leader?!"

Hitting a Leader from the Central Government?"

Damn! Who had hit the Central Government's Leader?!

Su Xiaochun is unreasonable and is good at creating chaos. Many people saw the nursing home's staff knocking into Cheng Yandong, and she reacted first. She ran over to help Cheng Yandong. "Leader, did you see that? This is how Ping An Subdistrict Office handles problems! They are unreasonable!"

Damn!

Who is the unreasonable one here?!

Chu Qinghua and other Leaders ran over. "Team Leader Cheng, are you injured?"

Cheng Yandong waved his hand. It was just a fall, and he did not show any displeasure. Chu Qinghua and the Leaders were slightly relieved. Suppose the Team Leader is injured during his inspection in Ping An Subdistrict. In that case, they can forget about getting nominated for the role model award. But his face turned pale after he got back to his feet. He saw something on the floor!

There are pieces of broken jade on the floor!

A jade pendant was shattered into pieces!

Cheng Yandong quickly touched his chest area and got mad. He looks at the nursing home's staff. "What are you all doing?!"

Cheng Yandong's pendant is smashed!

The pendant had hit the floor during his fall and is shattered into pieces!

Dong Xuebing, who was watching from afar, did not expect this to happen. He saw the necklace on Cheng Yandong's chest and the broken pieces on the floor. Others might not know, but he knows that is an ice-grade jade pendant! The auction starting bid for such a pendant is at least one million!

Jade's hardness is high and can even scratch glass. But jade is brittle and will break into pieces when dropped on the floor.

A staff beside Chu Qinghua knows about jade. His face changed, and he quickly whispered to him. "This pendant is worth at least one million."

Ping An Subdistrict Office's Leaders are dumbfounded!

"Team Leader Cheng." Chu Qinghua quickly explains. "We don't expect this…."

Worth more than one million? How are they going to compensate for it?

Cheng Yandong did not reply to him and bent over to pick up the jade pieces. Chu Qinghua and the rest tried to help, but he waved them off and picked up the pieces slowly. He collected all the pieces and sighed.

The situation is tense.

Chu Qinghua didn't know what to say and asked one of the team members. "This…"

The young man from the inspection team is from the National Committee of Ageing department and knows Cheng Yandong. "That is a gift from Director Cheng's late mother!"

What? A gift from his late mother?!

Chu Qinghua took a deep breath. It's fine if this can be settled with money. They can borrow and raise money to compensate for it, but how will he compensate for a sentimental gift?!

Damn! This is bad!

Cheng Yandong is an experienced Leader from the Central Government. He calmed down and looked at them emotionlessly. "Settle her problem first."

Everyone quiets down.

Chu Qinghua and the rest hated Su Xiaochun and her family to the core. But the Inspection Team Leader had spoken, and they had to follow his instructions. Chu Qinghhua ordered one of his Subdistrict Leaders to represent the nursing home to talk about the compensation with Su Xiaochun. Cheng Yandong and his team still have to inspect other places. They left with a few Chu Qinghua's staff for the Seniors' Activity Centers. Chu Qinghua is worried and doesn't know how this incident will affect the inspection's results.

One hour later.

Chu Qinghua's phone rang. He walks to a corner to answer.

"How is it?"

"It's settled. The compensation is 150 thousand."

Chu Qinghua's eyes turned cold. "Ask Su Xiaochun how did they know there will be an inspection by the Leaders today."

A few minutes later, the person replied. "I asked her. She said she received a call from a Nan Qi Morning's reporter."

Nan Qi Morning?

Reporter?

Chu Qinghua felt something was off. "Trace that call!"

Ping An Subdistrict Office managed to trace the call at around 10 am. The call is not from Nan Qi Morning. It is from a public phone in Yan Tai County!

Dong Xuebing!

Chu Qinghua is furious! F*CK! You bastard had set this up! Luckily I am smart, or else I will not know you are behind this!

Dong Xuebing has no intentions to hide this from Chu Qinghua. If he wants to hide it, he will get someone to call from a public phone in the City. He purposely got someone to call from Yan Tai County and made it obvious it was him. But Chu Qinghua has no evidence that he is the one. He is telling Chu Qinghua that he had done this on purpose, and what can he do to him?!

Dong Xuebing does things differently from others and wants Chu Qinghua to know it!

If Chu Qinghua doesn't know Dong Xuebing planned this, the latter will be very disappointed!

Chapter 570: Should I snatch it?!

Before noon.

The sun is shining brightly. Many Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staffs were on their way to the cafeteria. They did not notice Dong Xuebing had just entered.

"This is going to be interesting."

"What happened? Did something happen?"

"Didn't you hear about it? Ping An Subdistrict had almost screwed up their inspection."

"Really? Tell me what happened. How did they mess up the inspection?"

"Do you remember the missing elderly from the nursing month six months ago? The family had gone to the nursing home to create problems again."

"Huh? They went there during the inspection?!"

"That's right. I heard it was chaotic, and one of Ping An Subdistrict Office's staff had knocked the inspection team leader down. His jade pendant, worth over a million RMB, was shattered."

"Hahaha… Serve them right."

"I don't think they will get the nomination now."

"Lower down your volume. Don't let others know about this."

Both Subdistricts are adjacent, and Guang Ming Subdistrict's staffs are the first ones to know about this. They are boasting and laughing at them.

Dong Xuebing overheard them and smiled. Zhou Yanru should have only told him a small portion of the grudges between both Subdistricts, and they should have more clashes. If not, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's staff should not be so happy. He had set this up to create some problems for Chu Qinghua, but the result was more than he expected. Not only did he help Su Xiaochun and her family get justice, but he also got Chu Qinghhua into trouble. It will be hard for them to pass the inspection as they had offended the inspection Team Leader Cheng Yandong.

Cafeteria.

It is Saturday today, but most of the staff are working.

"Director."

"Director Dong."

Everyone greeted Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing nodded and got his food. He sat by the windows and ate slowly.

"Oh, you are here." Zhou Yanru walks over with her food. "Can I join you?"

Dong Xuebing gestured to her and smiled. "Sister Zhou, you have a small appetite. How can you be full with so little food?"

Zhou Yanru sat down and laughed. "I had gained some weight recently, and my daughter kept telling me I am fat. It's time for me to go on a diet." They chatted for a while, and she suddenly said. "Director, Ping An Subdistrict Office…."

"I heard about it." Dong Xuebing stopped smiling as many staffs were around. He cannot show his joy, as the District Government wants Ping An Subdistrict to get the nomination. "This is a lesson for us too. I will meet Secretary Qu later, and you will get some staff to inspect our neighborhoods to assist him in settling all existing disputes between the residents and our nursing homes."

Zhou Yanru nodded.

"Oh…." Dong Xuebing asked. "Is this the only inspection for our province?"

"I think so." Zhou Yanru replied. "There are around ten nominations, and the inspection team had inspected five of them. Ping An Subdistrict is the sixth."

"How many will be selected?"

"Based on previous years, around four nominees from our Province will be selected. But they still have to go through the Central Government's Leaders' selection. Two units from our Province had made it to the Role Model Unit's next round in the previous two years, and only one was nominated three years ago." Zhou Yanru explained. Things are not looking good for Ping An subdistrict, but they might still get through the first round.

"Oh…" Dong Xuebing thought for a while and asked. "Can a unit who had not applied for this award be nominated?"

Zhou Yanru paused for a second. "I don't think so. The applications were submitted a few months ago."

"What if there are not enough nominees?"

"That might be possible." Zhou Yanru recalled. "I remember the inspection team had only selected three units out of nine nominations the year before because of some problems at a senior activity center. The inspection for that year was very strict. The inspection team picked a neighborhood committee, which was not one of the nominations, as the fourth unit."

Dong Xuebing blinked. "So, it is possible."

"Yes, this had happened before. But…." Zhou Yanru suddenly realized something, and her face turned pale. "Director, we cannot do this! We must not do this!"

Dong Xuebing smiles. "Why are you so nervous?"

Zhou Yanru felt a chill down her spine.

"Let's carry on eating." Dong Xuebing did not bring up this subject again, as he had gotten the information he wanted.

Last year's incident showed Dong Xuebing a lot. The Inspection Team in Henan Province has the authority to submit a unit that was not nominated. This means they can do it again this year. If Dong Xuebing and his unit have a good relationship with the Inspection Team, they can still be selected. He had only been thinking of stopping Chu Qinghua from getting selected. He had not thought about letting his unit get selected. This will be significant for Guang Ming Subdistrict, and it is the political credit he needed. At the same time, he can slap Chu Qinghua!

Dong Xuebing got excited!

Dong Xuebing knows why Zhou Yanru has such a big reaction and knows this is no joke.

If Cheng Yandong decides to select Dong Xuebing's unit, Ping An Subdistrict will not be selected. They are from the same Province, City, District and are adjacent subdistricts. They can't be nominated. Suppose both subdistricts had done well in honoring and respecting elderly work. In that case, it should be the District Government that is nominated. If he wants to be selected, he needs to eliminate Ping An Subdistrict as one of the nominees and replace them. With the District Government and District Party Committee supporting Ping An Subdistrict and Chu Qinghua, he will be backstabbing them!

Should I do it?

Should I try to snatch the nomination?

Dong Xuebing ponders about this as he eats, and Zhou Yanru has a bad feeling!

After lunch, Dong Xuebing has decided. He looked around the cafeteria after Zhou Yanru left and saw Deputy Work Party Secretary Geng Xinke was about to leave. He walks over with a smile. "Secretary Geng, let's walk together."

Geng Xinke looks at Dong Xuebing curiously and smiles. "Sure."

Both chatted as they walked out of the cafeteria.

It's rare for the Subdistrict Office's No. 1 and No. 2 to be walking together.

Party Secretary Office.

Dong Xuebing pulls out a paper cup. "What tea do you prefer? I still have not to buy new tea leaves this year and only have Longjing and Pu'er."

"I'm fine with anything."

"Let's drink Pu'er. I heard this tea is good for the health."

Dong Xuebing poured a cup of tea for Geng Xinke.

Geng Xinke is wondering what is going on. Why is Dong Xuebing pouring tea for him? Is he going to poison him? He has reasons to suspect Dong Xuebing because the latter had caused all sorts of trouble since his appointment. He had sent Geng Xinke to the hospital for overdrinking, beat up civilians, scolded the District Government Organization Department's Leader, and cut the power supply. These acts are not what a normal government servant would do. He might put poison in the tea.

Geng Xinke pretended to drink the tea and asked. "Do you need me to do something?"

"No." Dong Xuebing smiles. "We still have not communicated since my appointment. Let's have a chat. Oh, have you heard of what happened in Ping An Subdistrict?"

Geng Xinke nodded. "Yes."

Dong Xuebing replied calmly. "I think it's hard for them to get selected. What do you think?"

"I am not sure." Geng Xinke had been wary of Dong Xuebing since entering his office. "Ping An Subdistrict's work on honoring and respecting the elderlies is quite good. They had also settled the missing person case. This incident might affect their chances, but it might not be a great deal."

"You are right." Dong Xuebing agrees with him. "I heard the Inspection Team's Leader fell because a Subdistrict Office's staff pushed him, and his pendant from his late mother was…."

Geng Xinke did not reply and waited for Dong Xuebing to continue.

Dong Xuebing slowly says. "Secretary Geng, I feel we are more suitable for this National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award. If Ping An Subdistrict cannot get it…."

Geng Xingke understood before Dong Xuebing could finish.

What?!

You want to snatch Ping An Subdistrict Office's nomination?!

Damn! Geng Xinke choked on his tea and almost fell off the chair!

He knows Dong Xuebing is daring, but he did not expect him to be so daring!

Chapter 571: Snatch it!

Afternoon.

Work Party Secretary Office.

Geng Xinke was shocked by what Dong Xuebing said. This new Director is different and dares to say everything. He plans to make things worse for Ping An Subdistrict, and he still wants to snatch their nomination!

Geng Xinke finally sees Dong Xuebing's guts!

This guy dares to do what others don't dare!

Geng Xinke knows the consequences of doing this. The District Government supports Ping An Subdistrict Office and wants all Subdistricts to work on Respecting and Caring for the elderly. This is to support Chu Qinghua and help them get selected for the role model unit award. Although Chu Qinghua had not done a good job and something unexpected happened, who says they don't stand a chance? Will the District Government agree if Guang Ming Subdistrict snatches the nomination from behind?

This is too evil!

But Geng Xinke understands why Dong Xuebing is telling him about this. He is trying to pull him over and use his relationship with Geng Yuehua to lower the pressure from the District Government.

Dream on!

Don't drag me along if you want to get yourself into trouble!

Geng Xinke is scared of how Dong Xuebing works. The latter is not afraid of anyone or anything, and he doesn't dare to join him. who knows what trouble he will be getting himself into? "Director Dong, this is not right."

Dong Xuebing casually replied. "What's wrong with it? This is a fair competition."

Geng Xinke is speechless. "Yes, it is fair competition, but we had not submitted our application for this award. We cannot fight to be selected."

"Isn't there an exception last year?" Dong Xuebing replied patiently. "The Inspection Team had selected a unit in our Henan Province that was not nominated."

Geng Xinke can tell Dong Xuebing is determined to snatch this nomination. He paused for a second and replied. "I still have reservations on this."

"……, oh, ok."

"I still have work to do. Bye."

Geng Xinke doesn't want to remain in Dong Xuebing's office for one more second as he doesn't want to get involved. He can go ahead and do whatever he wants.

Dong Xuebing shook his head and thought to himself. You all are so timid. High-risk, high returns. When will you all achieve results if you all remain in your offices and wait? This is the time you all take action. Never mind. Since you all don't want the credit, I will get it myself! Dong Xuebing decided to go all out to try and get the nomination. You never know if you don't try. Dong Xuebing might be fearless, but he knows he cannot snatch the nomination openly. He needs to find a way to get around it!

What should he do?

How should he get the Inspection Team to select Guang Ming Subdistrict?

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and decided to get in touch with Cheng Yandong first. He knows it is very difficult as Cheng Yandong has no reason to pick Guang Ming Subdistrict. If Cheng Yandong refuses to pick another Subdistrict, he doesn't need to waste his time. But if Cheng Yandong and his team have something against Ping An Subdistrict, he might have a chance to replace them.

Dong Xuebing asked around and found out the Inspection Team was having lunch near Ping An Second Street. He left his office and drove there.

Ping An Second Street.

Dong Xuebing saw Chu Qinghua using his phone outside of a restaurant.

Chu Qinghua said softly into the phone. "Mayor Shen, we…."

Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei interrupted him. "I don't want to hear your explanation! Go and explain it to Secretary Shi and Mayor Geng! Director Chu! You have been in the government service for a long time! What do you expect me to say?! How come this happened during the inspection?! What have you been doing?! Residents creating trouble and fighting with the nursing home staff?! Even the Inspection Team Leader is hurt!"

Chu Qinghua sighed. "I had not done my job well."

Shen Fei continued. "Our District had won several role model units over the years, but we have never won the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award! Do you know how important this inspection is?! But what is your Subdistrict doing?!"

"Mayor Shen, this is an accident. But don't worry, we will not let the District down."

Shen Fei asks. "Do you still have a chance to get selected?"

Chu Qinghua replied. "We will find ways to compensate Team Leader Cheng's pendant, and we had paid Su Xiaochun's family 150,000 RMB. Her problem is considered settled, and the Inspection Team doesn't seem to be angry. I think we still stand a chance."

"Remember, this must not go wrong!"

"Don't worry. We will try our best to get selected."

Chu Qinghua felt his heart turns cold after hanging up. He doesn't know if his Subdistrict can be selected. He was 80% confident of getting selected before the incident and is only 40% confident now. It's all Dong Xuebing's fault! Suppose he had not informed Su Xiaochun about the inspection. In that case, she will not turn up with her family to create trouble, and they would be selected!

Dong Xuebing!

Chu Qinghua is determined to get his revenge.

This is not the time to settle the score with Dong Xuebing. He needs to salvage the situation and get selected!

Dong Xuebing is laughing in his heart as he looks at Chu Qinghua.

Five minutes later.

Cheng Yandong walks out of a restaurant, and his team is following behind. They seemed to be saying something to him, but he waved them off. His team members returned to the restaurant, and he continued his way towards the north direction.

Dong Xuebing quickly drives over. "Eh, Team Leader Cheng?"

Cheng Yandong paused for a second. "It's you… Director Dong?"

"Where are you going? I have just finished lunch and am free now. I can give you a lift."

Cheng Yandong noticed the vehicle in front of him was a Porsche, and he looked at Dong Xuebing again. He hesitated for a second. "Alright. I heard there is an antique shop along West Street. I want to go there, but I don't know my way. Sorry to trouble you."

"Don't mention it. I know where it is."

Cheng Yandong got into the front passenger seat.

Dong Xuebing felt he might stand a chance as Cheng Yandong had not to ask Ping An Subdistrict's staff to send him.

"Team Leader Cheng, how's the Inspection Team's impression of our Nan Shan District?"

"Not bad." Cheng Yandong replied.

"We had been waiting for the inspection team to come and point out which areas we need to improve."

Cheng Yandong smiles and seems distracted.

Dong Xuebing is disappointed to see Cheng Yandong not showing any signs of anger towards Ping An Subdistrict. He is wondering how he can get him to consider Guang Ming Subdistrict.

They arrived, and Cheng Yandong entered the antique shop.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

Cheng Yandong noticed Dong Xuebing was waiting for him when he came out.

Dong Xuebing got out and smiled. "There are many other antique shops in the city. I can send you there if you want."

"Never mind." Cheng Yandong sighed and waved his hand.

Dong Xuebing is curious. "Then, you are…."

Cheng Yandong seems to be feeling down. "My jade pendant, left behind by my late mother, was shattered. I was hoping to get it repaired. But the antique shop's staff told me it is impossible to return to its previous state even when they glue it back." He knows it is impossible to repair the pendant, but he wanted to try his luck. This pendant is very important to him. It was his mother's final gift to him. He had not shown anger or other emotions after the pendant was shattered, but he is hurting inside!

Dong Xuebing remembered that the pendant was shattered this morning as he looked at them from a distance. He had got his first pot of gold from dealing with antiques, and he knows it's almost impossible to repair a jade pendant. Even if the pieces were glued back, the cracks would still be visible. That pendant was worth more than 1 million RMB, and it should be worth a few thousand now. Wait!

Dong Xuebing suddenly paused!

Impossible to repair?!

It's not impossible! I have REVERSE!

Damn! Why did I forget about this?!

"Director Dong, I shall not bother you." Cheng Yandong said. "I will go back myself."

Dong Xuebing brightens up and quickly stops him. "Team Leader Cheng, can I see the jade pieces?"

Cheng Yandong hesitated and took out seven to eight jade pieces from a small clear plastic bag. "What's wrong?"

Dong Xuebing replied. "Err… Let me hold on to these pieces for a day. I will help you think of a way to repair it. But I am not sure if it can be repaired."

"……" Cheng Yandong thought for a while and passed the plastic bag to Dong Xuebing. "Alright."

But Cheng Yandong did not get his hopes high as Dong Xuebing said he would think of ways to repair it.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 572: Repaired!

Evening.

The sun is setting, and the temperature is dropping.

Dong Xuebing passed by Ping An Subdistrict's area on his way home and saw Cheng Yandong and his team members inspecting the neighborhoods. The inspection will last two days, and Chu Qinghua and his staff are following them around.

"Good evening, Sir. How do you feel about this place?"

"Not bad. The staffs here are quite friendly and helpful."

"Did you face any problems during your stay here? Do you have any areas which you are unhappy about?"

"I have no problems here. This place is as comfortable as my home."

"Oh, sorry to disturb your dinner. We will walk around."

Every resident in the nursing home gave positive feedbacks when asked by the Inspection Team members.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Family Quarters.

Dong Xuebing returned home and knows this is his opportunity to snatch the nomination from Ping An Subdistrict, and it might be his only chance. He cooked a bowl of sesame sauce noodles for dinner and sat in his room with the clear plastic bag. He poured the jade pieces on his bed and slowly pieced them together.

Dong Xuebing pieced the seven jade fragments together to form the pendant.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. He had used REVERSE to repair a glass but had not tried it on jade. He doesn't know if his power will work on jade. He rubbed his palms and covered the jade pieces with his hands. He focused and stared at the back of his hands.

Let's start!

I hope it will work!

Dong Xuebing membered REVERSE under his breath!

The time starts to countdown. REVERSE is in effect!

Dong Xuebing can hear a few broken pieces joining back in an instant!

The first piece and the second piece merged!

The third and fourth pieces almost merged!

Dong Xuebing is excited. The pendant is 50% repaired!

Creak… creak… creak….

Finally, the pieces of jade stopped moving.

Dong Xuebing used two seconds of REVERSE because every second can return the status of an object to one day before. He wanted to be safe and waited for a few more seconds before deactivating REVERSE.

But the result is not what Dong Xuebing imagined.

When Dong Xuebing lifted his hands, he saw the pendant was not fully repaired. There are two cracks, and some parts are chipped!

Damn!

Why is this happening?

Why is the pendant not fully repaired?

Dong Xuebing did not expect this to happen. If REVERSE cannot work, the rest of the pieces will not be joined together. But REVERSE had worked, and all the pieces had joined together now. Why is there more than one crack? What's the difference between REVERSE and those antique repair shops?! He can just use super glue to glue all the pieces back!

What's wrong?

This should not be happening with REVERSE!

This was a severe blow to Dong Xuebing, and he thought hard about it. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. He kept the pendant in his pocket and grabbed his keys and wallet. He ran downstairs to his car and drove to Mei Zhuang Nursing Home.

The entrance of the nursing home.

A few elderly are at the entrance. Some are taking a walk, and some are practicing Taichi.

Dong Xuebing looked around and saw the area where the pendant was shattered. It is around ten to twenty meters from the pavement.

This is the place!

Two old men, who were practicing swords, looked at Dong Xuebing. "What are you doing, young man?"

"Oh, I dropped something when I passed here earlier." Dong Xuebing replied. "I am here to look for it."

The two old men continued with their sword practice and ignored Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing walks over and kneels. He fell around with his hands, and something caught his eyes. He saw tiny greenish crystals among the dirt. Cheng Yandong must have missed these tiny bits, and that's why there are cracks. There should be more microscopic bits among the dust which cannot be picked up.

Dong Xuebing confirmed his guess. The cracks are the results of missing tiny jade pieces!

Dong Xuebing looked around and noticed no one was looking at him. He took the pendant from his pocket and placed it on the ground before covering it with the jade dust particles. REVERSE!

One second….

Two seconds….

The dust particles are too small to be seen, and Dong Xuebing used REVERSE for a few seconds before stopping!

REVERSE deactivated!

After that, Dong Xuebing picks up the pendant from the ground. He noticed some people looking in his direction, and he quickly returned to his car. Before taking out the pendant, he got into his car and looked around to ensure no one was looking at him.

Dong Xuebing checked and felt the pendant thoroughly.

All the cracks and chips had been filled, and it felt smooth. There's not a single scratch on it, and it is perfect!

Dong Xuebing is overjoyed!

Hahaha! REVERSE is effective, after all!

Chapter 573: I have never met such a wicked Civil Servant!

Next day.

Sunday morning.

Dong Xuebing called Cheng Yandong immediately after he woke up. They had exchanged numbers yesterday afternoon.

Ring… ring… ring….

"Hello, Director Dong?"

"It's me. Team Leader Cheng, have you taken your breakfast?"

"I just woke up."

"Alright. I want to invite you to our Guang Ming Subdistrict for breakfast, and I have something to tell you."

Cheng Yandong paused for a second. "…. Ok. Give me the address, and I will take a taxi there."

Dong Xuebing quickly got out of bed and got ready. After that, he drives to a breakfast shop to wait for Cheng Yandong.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Yandong arrived in a taxi.

"Have you waited long?"

"I had just arrived. Have a seat."

Both men sat at the table and ordered a few breakfast dishes.

Cheng Yandong wiped his mouth after eating and asked. "Oh, you said you have something to tell me."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "It is about your jade pendant. Didn't I say I would help you ask around yesterday? I got a reply."

Cheng Yandong did not harbor any hopes. "Oh? How is it?"

Dong Xuebing paused for a while and reached into his pocket. He took out a clear plastic bag and passed it to him. "Take a look."

Cheng Yandong thought nothing about it at first. He had called several places yesterday and got the same replies. Shattered porcelain can still be fixed by covering up the cracks, but it is impossible for jade. Even overseas technologies cannot repair it. At most, they can just glue the pieces together and could not do anything about the cracks. He had lost hope of repairing his late mother's pendant.

Cheng Yandong took the pendant from Dong Xuebing and noticed something was wrong. He immediately opens the clear plastic bag and takes it out.

One minute….

Two minutes….

Three minutes….

Cheng Yandong took a deep breath. "This…."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Is this repair alright with you?"

Cheng Yandong is speechless. The pendant is brand new! It looks better than the pendant he was wearing yesterday! Not only were there no cracks, but they also didn't even show any signs of repair!

Cheng Yandong knows Dong Xuebing can't get someone to crave a new pendant. The dragon craving cannot be done within a few hours. Furthermore, there are no two jade pendants in the world that are the same. This is his pendant!

"You…." Cheng Yandong is stunned. "How did you do this?"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "I contacted a friend who is researching this field. He has a type of clue that can cover the cracks in jade and make it invisible."

Cheng Yandong is amazed. "Is this a new technology? How come I have not heard about it?"

"That's because there are no market demands, and my friend didn't plan to introduce it. That's why no one knows about this." Dong Xuebing made up an excuse. "But this technology is not perfect, and you need to be careful when you wear it. Oh, my friend hopes you can keep it a secret as he doesn't want too many people to know about it."

"Don't worry!" Cheng Yandong replied excitedly. "I will keep it to myself!"

"Haha… thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you!" Cheng Yandong held Dong Xuebing's hand. "Director Dong, this is a great help! Thank you! Thank you very much!"

"Don't mention it."

"Oh, how much is it? I will transfer it to you now."

"This is nothing, and how can I receive your money?" Dong Xuebing replied.

Cheng Yandong shook his head. "No! I must pay you. How much is it?"

Dong Xuebing smiles. "It's alright. You don't need to stand on ceremony with me."

"The cost of such high-tech repair techniques must be expensive. I cannot let you pay for me!"

Dong Xuebing refused to accept money from Cheng Yandong after haggling for a while. Cheng Yandong looks at the Porsche parked outside and knows Dong Xuebing doesn't lack money. He might be wearing a million RMB jade pendant, but he is not wealthy. This pendant is his family's heirloom, and jade was not worth a lot several decades ago. If Dong Xuebing asks for tens of thousands or a few hundred thousand, he will not afford it. He did not insist and thanked Dong Xuebing again. Dong Xuebing had done a great favor to him, and he owes him.

A few minutes went by.

Both men finished their breakfast. The breakfast shop is located opposite a Guang Ming Subdistrict nursing home.

Dong Xuebing had purposely picked this location. He points at the other side of the road. "Team Leader Cheng, if you have the time, can you help to guide our nursing homes and see if we have any room for improvements?"

Smart people don't need to be told.

Cheng Yandong immediately understood what Dong Xuebing wanted. "Have your Guang Ming Subdistrict Office submit the application for the Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award?"

"I was just appointed the Director and didn't know about it." Dong Xuebing asked. "Is it too late for us to apply now?"

Cheng Yandong hesitated for a second. "It's too late now."

Dong Xuebing did not reply.

"But I have an extra quota." Cheng Yandong looks at Dong Xuebing. Since he knows the reason why Dong Xuebing helped him, he felt more comfortable. He is willing to return the favor. If repairing the pendant is nothing for Dong Xuebing, giving Guang Ming Subdistrict the extra spot is nothing. "Alright. You get your people to be ready this morning. We have almost finished our inspection in Ping An Subdistrict, and we will go over to your Subdistrict in the late morning."

"Ah… thank you."

"Haha… that's settled!"

Dong Xuebing sent Cheng Yandong back to his hotel and returned to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office. He is about to get this credit!

Subdistrict Office building.

Dong Xuebing went straight to the Party Administration Office. "Director Zhou!"

Zhou Yanru heard Dong Xuebing's voice and quickly ran out of her office. "Director, are you looking for me?"

"Inform all the leaders, including those at home, to come to the small meeting room. This is an emergency Work Party Committee Meeting!"

Emergency?!

Did something happen?

Zhou Yanru quickly goes back to her office to contact the rest.

……

Half an hour later.

Small meeting room.

Dong Xuebing has been waiting inside, reading a newspaper.

Zhou Yanru prepared the documents with a puzzled look on her face. Qu Yiqiang, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Work Committee, had arrived. He looked at Zhou Yanru and saw her shaking her head to indicate that she didn't know what had happened. After a while, Police Station Chief Peng Gang, Deputy Director Yu Rongfeng, and Deputy Director Guo Mingfeng arrived. The other committee members arrived after them, and the last person to enter the room was Geng Xinke. Everyone can tell from Geng Xinke's puzzled look that he doesn't know what happened.

"Director." Zhou Yanru is taking the meeting minutes. "Everyone is here."

Dong Xuebing put down the newspaper and nodded. "Let's start."

Everyone looks at Dong Xuebing. They are waiting for him to tell them why he called for an emergency meeting.

The former Director had never called for an emergency Work Party Committee Meeting during his time at Guang Ming Subdistrict. Mayor Geng had only called for emergency meetings twice when she was working in Guang Ming Subdistrict. Both times were because of major events. That's why everyone was anxious when they were recalled for this meeting. In Government Service, everyone is afraid of emergencies.

Dong Xuebing knows he doesn't have time and did not beat around the bush. "The Team Leader of the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit inspection team had found me earlier and wants to inspect our Subdistrict. I think he has the intentions of nominating us to the Central Government."

This is too shocking!

Even Qu Yiqiang is stunned, let alone the rest!

Geng Xinke, Zhou Yanru, and the rest almost fell off their chairs!

Damn!

You had snatched Ping An Subdistrict's qualifications!

Yu Rongfeng looks at Dong Xuebing. "Director! This…."

Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "We are not snatching the nominations from our fellow Subdistrict. It is the Team Leader of the inspection team who approached me. This is because he had seen the situation in our Subdistrict during his inspection in Ping An Subdistrict. After all, we are separated by one street. He is satisfied with our work and called me to request to inspect our area. It's hard for me to reject him."

Bullshit!

If you had done nothing, why would the inspection team change their schedule?!

Geng Xinke and Zhou Yanru are the only ones who know Dong Xuebing wants to get this nomination. But they thought he was only talking about it and didn't expect him to really do it!

Damn!

I have never met such a wicked civil servant!

Chapter 574: Talking back to the District Leader!

Morning, 10 am.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's small meeting room.

Dong Xuebing sat at the head of the table. "Do you all have anything to say?"

No one replied. Everyone is still shocked by Dong Xuebing's working style.

"Secretary Qu." Dong Xuebing looks at Qu Yiqiang. "What do you think?"

Qu Yiqiang thought for a while. He had become close with Dong Xuebing recently and knew why he was called to express his views. "I think this is a good opportunity for us. The Central Government's Inspection Team had approached us, is an indication that we had done a good job, and it's not right for us to reject them."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Director Wang, what about you?"

Wang Yuling blinked and replied. "This is fair competition, and it depends on how well we manage our nursing homes. I don't think this is wrong."

"Fair competition. That's right." Dong Xuebing nodded.

Guo Mingfeng hesitated for a while and said. "But the District had placed Ping An Subdistrict in the first place. Will the District be unhappy if we…"

Everyone in the meeting room wants to snatch the nomination spot from Ping An Subdistrict.

But this is too sensitive, and none of them dares to stand out.

Geng Xinke kept quiet and did not express his views.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's phone rang. He answered and straightened his back. After hanging up, he said. "This is settled. The Inspection Team had arrived. The first inspection is at Huai An Yi Li's Seniors' Activity Center. I want everyone to assist the Inspection team, and we will talk about the problems later. Alright. Meeting dismiss." Dong Xuebing announced. "Director Guo, you are in charge of the elderlies' work. You will accompany the inspection team. Chief Peng, send a few officers to ensure their safety."

Dong Xuebing immediately brought his people to Huai An Yi Li after the meeting.

Soon, everyone in Guang Ming Subdistrict heard the Inspection Team would be inspecting their area. Some are excited, and some are speechless.

"Damn! Why is the Inspection Team coming here instead of inspecting Ping An Subdistrict?"

"I heard it was our Director Dong who had contacted them."

"Does that mean we can get selected for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award?"

"Of course!"

"But this means we are snatching Ping An Subdistrict's spot. Will we be in trouble?"

"Who cares? This is a national award, and we have Director Dong if anything happens."

……..

At the same time.

Ping An Subdistrict Office.

Chu Qinghua was reading a document in his office and thinking about the Inspection Team's itinerary when someone knocked on the door anxiously.

"Come in." Chu Qinghua frowned.

"Director Chu!"

"What happened? Why are you panicking?" He puts aside the document.

The staff had gone pale. "I went to the hotel to fetch the Inspection Team, but… but they had left."

Chu Qinghua thought nothing about it. "Maybe they had gone for rounds in the area themselves. What's there to worry about? Didn't we make the arrangements yesterday?"

"No!" The staff replied. "I had just received news that Team Leader Cheng had brought his team to Guang Ming Subdistrict!"

Chu Qinghua paused for a second. "…. Where did they go?! Why did they go there for?"

"I think… they are there for an inspection."

"What? Inspect them?!"

"I heard Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's Director Dong had contacted Team Leader Cheng. Someone saw them, and Team Leader Cheng's pendant was repaired. I had called him earlier to talk about the compensation, but he said it's settled. He also says the inspection in our Subdistrict is over."

"Over in a day?!"

"It must be Dong Xuebing who snatched them away!"

Chu Qinghua's face changed, and he banged on his desk in anger. Dong Xuebing!

The staff asked. "What should we do now?"

"I am going to the District Government now!" Chu Qinghua grabbed his stuff and left. He did not expect Dong Xuebing to use the missing elderly incident as an excuse to snatch away the Inspection Team. Guang Ming Subdistrict and Ping An Subdistrict are adjacent, and both can't be selected. If Dong Xuebing managed to snatch away the nomination, he would be disgraced and get nothing. He must not let this happen!

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

Half an hour….

Huai An Yi Li Neighborhood.

Dong Xuebing smiles. "Team Leader Cheng, do you have any advice for our nursing home? Where do we need to improve?"

Cheng Yandong smiles. "Everything is looking good. You all have done well."

The Inspection Team members nodded in agreement. The nursing home here is similar to Ping An Subdistrict.

"Then…." Dong Xuebing continued. "I will accompany you all to visit Huai An Er Li."

"Alright. Lead the way." Cheng Yandong and his team boarded the vehicles.

The Subdistrict Office's staff saw the Team Leader's attitude and felt they might stand a chance to get selected. They are impressed with Director Dong for snatching the Inspection Team. This is a great opportunity for Guang Ming Subdistrict, and Guo Mingfeng doesn't care about the consequences anymore.

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing's phone rang.

Dong Xuebing looks at the number. It is from the District Government. "Hello, I'm Dong Xuebing."

"I am Shen Fei!" It's the Executive Deputy Mayor. "Come to my office immediately!"

The line cut off.

Dong Xuebing knew this would happen. He apologized to Team Leader Cheng and instructed Guo Mingfeng and Zhou Yanru to accompany the Inspection Team for their rounds. He boarded another car and drove to the District Government.

Nan Shan District Government.

Main Office Building.

Dong Xuebing found Shen Fei's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Shen Fei shouted.

Shen Fei's tone pisses dong Xuebing, and he enters the office slowly. Chu Qinghua is also in the office. "Mayor Shen… oh Director Chu is also here. Are you looking for me?"

Chu Qinghua is pulling a long face.

Shen Fei threw the document on the table. "What is Guang Ming Subdistrict doing?!"

Dong Xuebing feigned ignorance. "Mayor Shen, what did we do wrong?"

"What do you think?!" Shen Fei points at Dong Xuebing. "The National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award's Inspection Team is here to inspect Ping An Subdistrict! Why did you bring them to your area?! Ah?!"

Dong Xuebing replied. "Oh, I was about to inform the District Government about this. Mayor Shen, you must not accuse our Subdistrict. We did not bring them over. It was Team Leader Cheng who contacted me this morning and wants to inspect our Subdistrict. I don't know what happened, and I can't reject him. I can't be telling him we don't welcome him as it will offend them and affect Ping An Subdistrict. That's why I agreed."

Chu Qinghua shouted. "You all had snatched them away!"

Dong Xuebing looks at Chu Qinghua coldly. "Director Chu, we have no intentions of doing this, and I had never suggested anything."

"I heard you had helped Team Leader Cheng repair his jade pendant." Shen Fei shouted. "You still dare to claim it was Team Leader Cheng who contacted you?! You all have ulterior motives! This is snatching credit from your comrades!"

Dong Xuebing is mad. "Mayor Shen, what do you mean by ulterior motives? Yes, I had helped Team Leader Cheng repair his pendant. That is his late mother's gift. What's wrong with me helping him? This is the motive you are referring to?! Then I want to ask Director Chu! Did Team Leader Cheng ask you all to compensate him for his jade pendant?!" Chu Qinghua did not reply, and Dong Xuebing continued. "That pendant is worth more than a million RMB! I had used my connections to help you all settle this, and isn't this helping Ping An Subdistrict solving their problem?! Why are you all accusing me of ulterior motives for helping you all?! I had helped Ping An Subdistrict to avoid compensation! Director Chu! I am questioning you now! You all had not done your jobs well, and I had saved your ass! Why are you accusing me of the District Government?! What's the meaning of this?!"

Chu Qinghua almost cursed out loud. Who needs you to help?! But he cannot say this out as Ping An Subdistrict had failed in their duties, letting Dong Xuebing exploit it. But if Dong Xuebing did not inform Su Xiaochun, all these would not happen!

Dong Xuebing has never been afraid of arguing. He looks at Shen Fei. "Mayor Shen, this has already happened, and it was Team Leader Cheng who wanted to inspect our Subdistrict. If the District Government thinks that we had snatched credit, fine. I will call my men to disperse now and tell Team Leader Cheng to inspect elsewhere! Guang Ming Subdistrict doesn't welcome them! Is this alright with you?" Although Executive Deputy Mayor is a District Party Committee Member, his authority is not as great as Wang Shian and Geng Yuehua. That's why Dong Xuebing is not afraid of him.

Shen Fei is furious. This guy still dares to talk back?! Damn! Why did this troublemaker come to Nan Shan District?!

Shen Fei doesn't know that arguing with the Leaders is nothing to Dong Xuebing. He had even scolded his superiors, let alone talking back at them!

Chapter 575: Got it!

Morning.

District Government.

Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei has finally experienced Dong Xuebing's working style. He is mad, but he cannot do anything to him, as he still needs to find out what happened. The District Government had placed high hopes on this inspection, and Shen Fei could not decide.

The door opened. Dong Xuebing and Chu Qinghua walked out.

On the way downstairs, Chu Qinghua shouted. "Don't be too much! Dong Xuebing!"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are the one who started it. I had told you in my previous call. You might not know me well, but you will find out soon."

Chu Qinghua replied. "Fine! We shall see!"

"Oh, I am thinking of the same thing."

"Young man, you got to leave some leeway."

"Ah, I also want to tell you this."

Dong Xuebing is amused. I had not offended you after I got appointed, and you framed me during the banquet, causing me to offend the leaders. After that, you got that restaurant to blast music to disrupt our work. When I reminded you that the inspection team had arrived, you cut me off rudely. Who is the one who is not giving leeway?

I am snatching your nomination, and what can you do?!

Both did not speak to each other, and they left separately.

Chu Qinghhua is unsure if the District Government will continue to support him and doesn't know how close is Dong Xuebing to the Inspection Team Leader.

Dong Xuebing asked the staff member who was driving. "Where is the Inspection Team now?"

The staff member replied. "They are near to Liu Xiang Neighborhood."

"Alright. Let's go there now."

About ten minutes later, the car stopped. Dong Xuebing alighted and saw Zhou Yanru, Guo Mingfeng, and the Inspection Team walking out from a neighborhood exercise area.

Dong Xuebing walks over. "Sorry, leaders. I had to attend to some emergencies."

Cheng Yandong waves his hand and smiles. "We can walk around ourselves, and you all don't need to accompany us."

After chatting with Cheng Yandong for a while, Dong Xuebing called Zhou Yanru and Guo Mingfeng over. He looked at his watch and said softly. "It's almost lunchtime. Find a good restaurant in our Subdistrict. Are there seven members in the team? Make a reservation for a private room." Dong Xuebing is prepared to get this spot regardless of what the District Government thinks.

Zhou Yanru nodded anxiously. She still feels it's not right to do this.

Guo Mingfeng asked. "The District Government…. We…."

Dong Xuebing stopped him. "I will take responsibility for this! Just do as I say!"

Half an hour later.

One hour later.

Before noon.

Dong Xuebing accompanied the Inspection Team to a restaurant and found an opportunity to speak to Cheng Yandong privately. He wants to know if his Subdistrict can pass the initial assessment.

Ring… ring… ring…

Cheng Yandong's phone rang when Dong Xuebing was about to ask him.

Cheng Yandong did not walk away and gestured to him to wait as he took the call. "Hello."

"Are you Team Leader Cheng? I'm Shen Fei. We had met yesterday."

Cheng Yandong laughed. "Oh, Mayor Shen."

Shen Fei? Dong Xuebing overheard it and knew the District Government was calling to ask about the Inspection Team's attitude.

Shen Fei hesitated for a second and asked. "I heard the Inspection Team had changed the itinerary last minute and went to Guang Ming Subdistrict. This is…"

Cheng Yandong replied. "Yes. We noticed some issues with Ping An Subdistrict's nursing home yesterday. We found that Guang Ming Subdistrict had done well and decided to inspect their area. They had done quite well in all areas. Although Guang Ming Subdistrict had not submitted any applications, the Inspection Team has a floating nomination. We had a short meeting earlier and decided to give Guang Ming Subdistrict an opportunity. Of course, they must still pass the assessment first, and it is not decided. The final outcome is confidential."

Shen Fei paused for a second and did not ask anymore.

Cheng Yandong kept his phone and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Director Dong, what are you saying earlier?"

Dong Xuebing had gotten the answer he wanted.

Dong Xuebing is overjoyed in his heart. This Team Leader Cheng, is interesting. He had made it so obvious and said the outcome was confidential. But his tone is telling Shen Fei that he will not select Ping An Subdistrict and is considering Guang Ming Subdistrict instead. What he said had lowered Dong Xuebing's pressure. The District Government will switch their support to Guang Ming Subdistrict. After all, the District Government only wanted a role model unit award, and it doesn't matter which Subdistrict is selected.

Dong Xuebing's guess is right. Shen Fei told the District Government what happened, and the higher-ups kept quiet. After a while, the District Government called Dong Xuebing on his phone.

It's Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei. "You must get this spot. That's all." He doesn't want to talk to Dong Xuebing anymore and hangs up.

Dong Xuebing knows Shen Fei is representing the District Government to tell him this. This is equivalent to giving him an amulet!

Dong Xuebing returned to his Subdistrict Office to make this announcement!

All Guang Ming Subdistrict's staffs are excited. No one had expected Dong Xuebing to snatch this nomination from Ping An Subdistrict successfully and even get approval from the District Government!

Haha…

Ping An Subdistrict had disgraced themselves this time!

When Ping An Subdistrict heard about this, they were furious. All of them can't wait to tear Dong Xuebing into pieces!

This is too much!

Chu Qinghua is feeling the most frustrated. The District Government is not doing anything to Guang Ming Subdistrict for snatching away the nomination from them, and even giving them the task of getting the role model unit award?! He did not expect Dong Xuebing and the Inspection Team to be so close. But it is too late to say anything!

Bam!

Chu Qinghua threw a set of documents on the floor in anger. He had disgraced himself!

Chapter 576: Flattery!

The next day.

Monday morning. Dong Xuebing drove to Nan Shan District Government in the Passat.

Dong Xuebing went upstairs and knocked on the Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei's office. He entered after he heard, "Come in."

Shen Fei looks at Dong Xuebing. "Sit."

Shen Fei is not old and is considered a young leader.

Dong Xuebing did not sit. He smiles. "Mayor Shen, I need to apologize to you first. I am straightforward and didn't think through before I spoke. I was rude, and my tone was harsh yesterday…. But my words are not targeting you." This matter had been settled, and he is satisfied with winning Ping An Subdistrict. But he needs to improve his relationship with Shen Fei. He had talked back at him yesterday and needs to smooth things out.

Shen Fei waved his hand. "It's alright. These are all work-related. Have a seat."

"Ok." Dong Xuebing sat in front of Shen Fei's desk.

"Let's talk now." Shen Fei looks at Dong Xuebing. "I heard the Central Government Inspection Team had left last night."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "I think they had gone to the next city for an inspection. I tried to get them to stay for another day but failed."

"…… What about the nomination? How was it?"

"It should not be a problem. The Inspection Team seems to be satisfied with our Guang Ming Subdistrict's Respect and Care for the elderly work."

"Good." Shen Fei continued. "You all must continue to work on it and not overlook any matters. Our target is not only the nomination. The District Government wants the award from the Central Government."

"I understand. We will not let the District Government down."

Shen Fei nodded. "That's all. Go back to work."

"I shall not disturb you anymore."

"Oh, just call me anytime if you need any help."

"Sure."

…….

Morning.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

"I thought something severe would happen and did not expect the District Office to have this attitude. "

"Our new Director is capable."

"I had guessed it. The District Government will never ask us to give up and withdraw. This is impossible! Who doesn't want to have double insurance?"

"I heard we might be selected for Hebei Province's selection. But we don't know if we can pass the Central Government's final selection."

"Who cares? Even if we were not selected, we won against Ping An Subdistrict. Hahaha…."

"Haha… that's right."

Dong Xuebing overheard the staff discussing this nomination and is speechless. How deep are their grudges against Ping An Subdistrict? All of them are gloating over Ping An Subdistrict's failure to get selected. But he is in no position to criticize them. He had a grudge against Chu Qinghua, and he is snatching this nomination spot to get back at him. At the same time, he also wants to get the credit. He heard Chu Qinghua had fallen sick and did not report for work today.

Guang Ming Subdistrict is celebrating, and the Subdistrict Leaders are waiting to get this credit.

Many leaders went to look for Dong Xuebing in the morning to report on their work progress.

"Director, do we need to prepare the documents for the application? I will get my people to do it."

"Director Dong, we have prepared our Subdistrict's nursing homes' past achievements. When should we report to the higher-ups?"

Guo Mingfeng and Yu Rongfeng had become enthusiastic about their work. Both of them volunteered to take over the follow-up work of the Respect and Care for the elderly role model unit award. Even Geng Xinke had stopped by Dong Xuebing's office at 10 am. He asked about the District Government's attitude and is monitoring this nomination closely.

Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart.

It's too late now!

You all should have done this earlier.

When I said I wanted to snatch the nomination from Ping An Subdistrict, all of you tried to stop me. Some disagreed, and some reserved their views. Now, all of you are rushing forward to try to claim credit after I get the nomination. It is too late!

Dong Xuebing will not give these people the opportunity to claim this credit. If he can get the award, these people will also get the honor. He doesn't want to allow them to claim the full credit and had decided the person in charge for this award.

Before noon.

Dong Xuebing called Party Office Director Zhou Yanru to his office.

Dong Xuebing asked. "Director Zhou, I need you to prepare the materials for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award these few days."

Zhou Yanru asked. "Did the higher-ups ask for it? Do you need me to finish it by today?"

"No." Dong Xuebing waved his hand and laughed. "The higher-ups had not asked for it because the Inspection Team has not decided the last few names. It might take two to three days. But we must be prepared as these documents will be submitted to the Central Government if we are selected." Everyone knows Guang Ming Subdistrict will be one of the finalists for Hebei Province. He had done Cheng Yandong a huge favor, and the latter will return the favor by selecting Guang Ming Subdistrict.

Zhou Yanru smiled. "I understand. I will try my best to get it done."

"I am letting you handle this. Your Party Office Department will be in charge of the application and coordination work. Nothing must go wrong." The Party Office Department is weak if the leader doesn't give them authority. The Office Department oversees all of the Subdistrict Office's matters, and they act like the Butler for the Director. They can interfere with every department, and Dong Xuebing wants to let his people claim more credit. Sister Zhou had joined his side on his first day and was very helpful to him.

"You don't need to worry about anything if I am doing this task." Zhou Yanru smiles. She is overjoyed. "I felt ashamed when I think about I tried to stop you from snatching the nomination that day. You have better foresight than me."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "This flattery is too much. Hahaha…"

"I am speaking from my heart and is not a flattery."

Dong Xuebing doesn't mind Zhou Yanru's flattery as it felt good.

Chapter 577: Accompanying a pretty woman!

Afternoon.

The sun is bright.

The Inspection Team had left, and Dong Xuebing does not need to work on the National Respect and Care for the elderly's work. He had delegated the work to his subordinates. They only need to wait for the announcement that their Subdistrict is selected. He is tired after working over the weekends and decided to finish work after lunch. He drove out of the Subdistrict's compound to look for a bathhouse. The weather had been too hot recently.

Dong Xuebing is unfamiliar with Nan Shan District. He is driving around aimlessly to look for a public bathhouse when his phone rings.

Dong Xuebing did not look at the caller display and answered. "Hello, who's that?"

"Huh? Did you delete your old Leader's number?" A woman asked.

"Oh, Sister Xu. I was driving and did not look at my phone."

Xu Yan laughed. "You had come over to the City for over a week. Did you forget about me?"

Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "No…. I had been working over the past two weekends and was too busy to contact you."

"Don't exert yourself. You need to take a break. Oh, are you free today?"

"I will make time for you." Dong Xuebing slowed down his car and asked. "I am free now. How about I treat you to dinner today?"

"I am not working today. If you are free, can you come over to my place?"

"Sure. Do you want me to meet you at your family quarters or another place?"

"Come to the National Security Bureau's Family Quarters. It is located in Nan Shan District. I will send you the address." Xu Yan asked. "What car are you driving?"

"…. Cayenne."

"Where's your Mercedes? Did you change car again?"

"Haha… I changed to Cayenne for a while."

"Alright. Take your time and don't speed."

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing looked at the address and drove towards Xu Yan's apartment.

Half an hour later.

Dong Xuebing drove to an unsuspecting neighborhood behind the alley of a busy street. It is a single building neighborhood and looks quite old compared to the skyscrapers along the street. Not many people will know this building is Fen Zhou City's National Security Bureau's Family Quarters. Most of the City's department family quarters are located in the western district.

Dong Xuebing drove nearer, and the guards allowed him to enter.

Dong Xuebing knew Xu Yan had informed the guardhouse. Otherwise, he cannot enter the family quarters of a sensitive department.

Unit one, sixth floor.

Ding dong… ding dong…. Dong Xuebing pressed the doorbell.

A beautiful middle-aged woman opens the door. "You are here." She let him enter and closed the door.

"Sister Yu, I had bought something on the way."

"Why did you bring gifts? I have everything here."

"It's been a while since we met, and I cannot come here empty-handed. I still want to have dinner at your place."

"Haha… It's alright. Make yourself at home."

Xu Yan is wearing tight exercise attire today. Her tights show her curvy thighs, and her hair is pinned up in a bun. She is wearing a pair of running shoes and not slippers at home. Dong Xuebing secretly peeps at her voluptuous body. She is still very attractive at her age. He quickly suppresses his dirty thoughts as she is someone he respects and looks away.

After a while, Xu Yan took out two glasses of cold herbal tea.

Dong Xuebing took a sip. "Why are you looking for me today?"

Xu Yan smiles. "What's wrong? Must I need you for something to call you?"

"That's not what I meant." Dong Xuebing replied.

Xu Yan sat beside Dong Xuebing and patted the back of his hand. "I do need a small favor from you, but it's not a big deal. Also, I am living in this apartment alone and have nothing to do. I want someone to have a chat with."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then you have found the right person. I am good at talking. What do you want to chat about?"

Xu Yan crossed her legs, and her thighs moved nearer to Dong Xuebing. "Let's finish this task first, and we can chat while we are doing it."

What is this task? Dong Xuebing's thoughts are running wild. "What do you mean?"

"Didn't I ask you to practice combat skills with me when we were in Da Feng County? Come, let's do it now. You can guide and give me some pointers." Xu Yan patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder and stood up. "I have changed, and the room is ready. Do you need a change of clothes?" Chief Xu had told Dong Xuebing that she wanted to practice her combat skills with him after seeing him fighting against Korea's Taekwondo Grandmaster at Da Feng County's swimming complex. But they were busy then, and Dong Xuebing had forgotten about it. The National Security Bureau must be having a test or something, and she had brought this up again.

Dong Xuebing readily agreed. "I don't need to change, but you must show mercy."

Xu Yan points at him. "Do you think I don't know about your fighting skills? I should be the one asking you to show mercy. Come, this is the room."

Guestroom.

There are no beds in the guestroom, and it has wooden flooring. All furniture had been moved aside, and it's spacious.

Xu Yan adjusted her clothes. "I have no problem with shooting. But I? had been doing administrative work in the past few years, and my body had become rusty. Come, help me get back the feeling. If not, my old body might not take it if there are sudden missions in the future."

Dong Xuebing complimented. "You are at your prime and not old at all."

"Men are at their prime, and women are soybean residues at 40 years old."

"That's not true!" Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed, and he suspects Xu Yan knows about the banquet incident. He quickly changes the topic. "What do you want to practice?"

"Subduing the enemy with one move."

"Alright."

"Be careful. I will not show you any mercy."

"Come!"

The moment Xu Yan said "Come," her eyes changed. She took a big stride forward and grabbed Dong Xuebing's arm, but Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. He had worked under Xu Yan for a while and had never seen her combat skills. She is a woman in her forties, and what can she do to a young man? That's why he did not even use his cheats, "BACK and STOP," to counter her attack. He felt his combat skills were enough to handle her.

But Dong Xuebing regretted the next moment!

Dong Xuebing thought he could use his strength against Xu Yan and did not avoid her attack. He started putting some strength into his arm after she grabbed his arm, but it was too late. He felt his body become light and felt like he was floating in the air. The next moment, his back hit the ground, and he felt the pain. She had thrown him over her shoulders!

Damn!

Is this real?!

Xu Yan laughed. "Do you want to take me seriously now?"

Dong Xuebing got up and asked. "How can this be called rusty? Did you learn full-contact fighting?"

"Haha… I was trained in full contact fighting when I joined the National Security Bureau. But we focused on suppressing our opponents in one move."

Dong Xuebing begins to take Xu Yan seriously. He doesn't want to be thrown by her again as it is too embarrassing.

"Again?"

"Ok."

Xu Yan's eyes turned again. It's hard to imagine a woman who had been doing administrative work for more than a decade to have this killing aura.

Bam!

Dong Xuebing laid on the floor again. Xu Yan had slammed him onto the floor with an over-shoulder throw.

Xu Yan had used the same move again, and Dong Xuebing could not counter or stop it! He felt his whole body aching.

Xu Yan shook her head. "Can you be more serious? Are you letting me win?"

Damn! I tried my best! Are you joking when you asked me to teach you combat skills?

Dong Xuebing had been modest, but he did not expect Xu Yan to be the modest one!

How can her skills be rusty?

Bullshit! Xu Yan can easily face three to five grown men at once!

But Dong Xuebing continues to spar with Xu Yan. If he wants, he can take her down easily with his power. But that will be meaningless. Sister Xu only wanted someone to practice with her to get back the feeling. So, he continues to get slammed on the floor again and again.

Xu Yan's strength is weaker than Dong Xuebing's, but her techniques are better. If Dong Xuebing doesn't use BACK, it will be hard to win. It's rare to see a middle-aged woman have such fighting skills, and his impression of her changed.

Chapter 578: Godmother!

Afternoon, 1 pm.

The National Security Bureau's Family Quarters, Xu Yan's apartment.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Half an hour….

Dong Xuebing is panting in the room. He is exhausted and has lost count of the number of times he was thrown onto the floor. His back, butt, and arms are aching, and he looks at Sister Xu, who is still standing there. She is beautiful and looks weak. But underneath her appearance, she is deadly and has lightning-speed moves. Most people who have been trained in martial arts for a few years are not her match.

"Sister Xu, Aunt Xu… can we take a break?" Dong Xuebing asked.

Xu Yan laughed. "Are you tired? Is that how long you can last? It's only a while."

Dong Xuebing blushed as her words made it sound awkward. He had been thrown on the floor for half an hour. She might be fine, but not him.

Dong Xuebing slowly got up. "Is it alright for us to practice in the room? Will we disturb the occupant downstairs?"

"No one is staying downstairs."

Xu Yan is sweating and panting slightly. Her t-shirt and tights are clinging to her body because of her sweat, and Dong Xuebing could see the outlines of her bra. She grabbed a towel to wipe her sweat and threw it aside. "One more time. This will be the last time, but I want you to use your true skills. I have seen your moves before, and don't try to fool me. I want you to be serious this time."

This is the last time?

Use my real skills?!

Xu Yan's words had made Dong Xuebing's thoughts run wild again. But his face was already red from exhaustion, and she won't notice it. "Alright."

"Are you ready?"

"Come."

Xu Yan stops smiling and becomes serious. She stared into Dong Xuebing's eyes and dashed forward suddenly! Dong Xuebing had been thrown many times and knew she would be going for his arm. He turned his body sideways to avoid her and reached out to grab her shoulder. She reacted fast and blocked Dong Xuebing's arm. She took one step forward and grabbed his arm. She turns her body slightly, and he knows she is about to throw him. He had been thrown too many times today and decided not to hold back after knowing her true skills. He threw a punch towards her stomach, and she quickly released his arm to avoid it.

"That was a nice punch," Xu Yan praised.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's nothing compared to you."

Xu Yan smiles. "You are finally using your real skills. Again."

Xu Yan rushed forward again, and her large chest was swaying vigorously.

Dong Xuebing is not standing there to wait for her. He also took a big step forward!

Bam!

Dong Xuebing accidentally stepped onto Xu Yan's feet and caused her to lose balance slightly. He grabbed her arm with one hand and pushed her off-balance with the other. She reacted by grabbing his neck and using her legs to sweep his feet, causing him to fall with her. It was very fast, and he didn't have time to react!

Bam! Bam!

Both fell onto the floor!

When Xu Yan touched the floor, she moved her arms up to grab Dong Xuebing's neck and put him into a headlock.

Dong Xuebing got a fright by their positions!

Both are on the floor, and Dong Xuebing's head is pressing against Xu Yan's chest. He could feel the softness of her chest and could smell her sweat. His hands had also landed on her meaty thighs. His first reaction is to withdraw his hands and stand up.

But Xu Yan did not release her hold. "Haha… do you admit your loss?"

"Yes… yes…." Dong Xuebing can feel cold sweats. "I am not your match."

Dong Xuebing can still feel the softness against his head.

Hurry up and release me. Even if you don't treat me as an outsider, but I am still a man!

Xu Yan released her hold and stood up. "You are still not using your real strength. I am not your match if you are serious. But I still want to thank you."

Dong Xuebing secretly took a glance at her chest again and replied. "Don't mention it."

"I had wanted to chat with you but ended up asking you to be my sparring partner. Are you tired?"

"I'm fine."

"You are sweating buckets. Go and take a shower."

Dong Xuebing looked down and saw he was covered in sweat. "I'm fine. You should go shower first."

"You go first." Xu Yan walked out of the room. "I will switch on the water heater. Throw your clothes into the washing machine too. You can wear my son's clothes for the time being, but it might be slightly smaller." Dong Xuebing's eyes were glued to her ass as she was walking out of the room.

Sexy.

But Xu Yan is too much older than him. If she is younger by six or seven years old… Damn! What am I thinking?!

Dong Xuebing suppressed his dirty thoughts and drank a glass of herbal tea to cool off. He entered the bathroom after she switched on the water heater. He was about to throw his dirty clothes into the washing machine when he noticed a few pieces of woman's clothing inside. He knows it's not appropriate to put his clothes in. He closed the washing machine's cover lightly to prevent Sister Xu from hearing it. He placed his clothes into a plastic basin. He will hand wash his clothes.

In the bathroom.

Dong Xuebing starts to have a warm shower.

After showering, he washed his clothes by hand.

"Xiao Dong, are you done?" Xu Yan knocks on the frosted glass door.

"Open the door. I will pass you the clothes."

Dong Xuebing had washed all his clothes except for his underwear. He looked around and could not find any towel big enough to cover himself.

"Xiao Dong?"

"Ah… ok…." Dong Xuebing walked behind the door and opened a gap, showing his head.

Xu Yan laughs and passes him the clothes. "Are you shy?"

"No… it… err…." Dong Xuebing doesn't know how to reply.

"Alright. Try it and see if it fits. If it is too small, I will get a bigger set of clothes for you."

"No need." Dong Xuebing closed the door and put the clothes on.

"It's fitting."

"Ok."

This set of exercise outfits is brand new. Dong Xuebing knows Xu Yan's son is living with his father after their divorce, and she only gets to see him once every month. But she was transferred to Fen Zhou City, and she might not see him for a few months. She must have bought this set of clothes for her son when he came over to visit her. It's slightly smaller but still wearable.

Dong Xuebing felt refreshed after a hot shower, but his arms and back are still aching. He stepped out of the bathroom with his damp clothing. "Can I hang the clothes on the balcony?"

Xu Yan was on the phone in the living room and nodded. "The hangers are in that closet. Take it yourself."

"Alright.' Dong Xuebing walked towards the main bedroom.

"Hello, didn't I tell you to reject that dinner invitation tonight? My Godson had come to visit me… alright… That matter can be discussed again, and it is not urgent…. Let's talk again…… Ok…. Bye."

Dong Xuebing overheard Xu Yan's call from the room.

Godson?

Did Sister Xu think of me as her Godson?

Dong Xuebing suddenly felt guilty for stealing glances at her. But after hanging his clothes on the balcony, he saw Xu Yan entering the bathroom with her clothes. He couldn't stop himself from looking at her ass again.

"I am going to take a shower now." Xu Yan points to the coffee table. "The TV's remote control is over there."

"Ok." Dong Xuebing paused for a second and cleared his throat. "Err… It's not right to keep calling you Sister Xu. Should I…." If Xu Yan told others he was her Godson, he could not address her as Sister Xu outside.

Xu Yan smiles. "Then what should you call me?"

"Aunt Xu? Godmother?" Dong Xuebing blushed as he felt awkward.

"It's just a name, and it is the same to me."

"Err… I think I will still address you as Big Sister. Aunt Xu or Godmother will make you sound old." Dong Xuebing still felt awkward addressing her as his Godmother.

Chapter 579: Xu Yan's shocking old photographs of her in her thirties!

Afternoon.

Xu Yan's apartment.

The bathroom has a frosted glass door, and Dong Xuebing could see Xu Yan's silhouette taking her shower. He could imagine her naked body under the shower, and his heart was racing. He quickly turns his attention to the TV.

The TV shows a Korean drama, and the female lead had just come out of the shower.

Damn! This is making things worse!

Switch the channel!

One minute….

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

Dong Xuebing felt bored and rubbed his aching back. He walks to the balcony again to adjust the position of his wet clothes under the afternoon sun. He then leaned against the windows and lit a cigarette. After smoking, he flicked the cigarette butt out of the windows and left the balcony.

Eh? Who is this?

Dong Xuebing noticed a photo frame in the main bedroom and stopped. He got closer and looked at the photograph by the bed.

The picture was taken in Beijing, and it should be in Jingshan Park. He had been there several times as a kid. A boy around six to seven years old, smiling sweetly, and a woman in her thirties beside him. She is holding the boy's hand. The woman in the picture has a perfect figure, and she is beautiful.

Who is she?

She is as pretty as District Mayor Geng Yuehua.

It's rare for Dong Xuebing to see such a beautiful woman. He looks closer and finds the woman resembles Xu Yan.

Is this woman Chief Xu's sister or relative?

But why is she keeping her relative's photograph in her bedroom?

The bathroom door opened, and the shampoo fragrance filled the apartment.

Dong Xuebing puts down the photograph. "Sister Xu."

"Eh? Why are you in the room?" Xu Yan enters the room. "Why are you not watching TV?"

"It's boring, and I am looking around your apartment."

Xu Yan had changed into a pair of loose pants and a short-sleeved blouse. She had buttons up and did not show her cleavage. "What are you looking at?"

"I am looking at this photograph." Dong Xuebing asked. "Sister Xu, who is this?"

Xu Yan looks at the photo frame by her bedside and smiles. "Who do you think that is?"

Dong Xuebing paused for a second. What do you mean? Are you saying this is…?

Xu Yan laughed. "The person on the right is my son. The picture was taken when I brought him to Jingshan Park. I am on the left."

Damn! This is you!?

Dong Xuebing had thought the woman might be Xu Yan, but they look different!

Although Dong Xuebing finds Sister Xu is pretty now, it might be because he had been looking at her for some time. Others might find her "above average" now, but she is different from how she looked ten years ago. Her looks then is comparable to Geng Yuehua and Xie Huilan!

The difference is too big!

How can ten years make such a difference?

Dong Xuebing felt the old saying was right. "Woman at thirty is a flower; Woman at forty is Soybean residues." They looked like two different people.

Xu Yan sat on the bed and picked up the photo frame. "What's wrong? Even you cannot recognize me?"

Dong Xuebing smiles. "You were too pretty when you were young."

"Really?" Xu Yan laughed and shook her head.

"No…. you are also pretty now." Dong Xuebing added as he still finds her attractive now.

"Stop your flattery." Xu Yan puts down the photo frame. "I admit I was pretty when I was young, but it was difficult during my thirties. I got divorced, and my ex-husband got custody of our son. Ha… My life had changed a lot during the past ten years and made me age fast. That's why you cannot recognize me from the picture. Even my friends say this."

Dong Xuebing consoled. "No… you are still pretty now."

Xu Yan waved her hand and pointed to her eyebags and the corner of her eyes. "Did you see these? I have too many wrinkles now. I used to count them in the past, but I stopped. Look at this." She points to a blemish spot under her eye. "This spot is getting bigger and darker every day. I have to admit that I am getting old. No one can change anything."

Dong Xuebing looks at Xu Yan's face. "You don't have many wrinkles compared to other women at your age. Also, your spot is not obvious if I don't look at it carefully."

"That's because I had put on makeup." Xu Yan laughed. "I had put on concealer after my shower."

Xu Yan might sound calm, but he can tell the sadness in her voice. Which woman doesn't want to be pretty? It must be torturing for her to see her pretty face aging every day.

Sight….

Wait a minute!

Xu Yan's words triggered something in Dong Xuebing's mind!

Wrinkles? Blemish spots? Age?

That's right! Dong Xuebing suddenly has an idea. He had used REVERSE on an inanimate object and had not tried it on other things. If REVERSE can turn back time on a specific subject, can it reverse aging in a person?

Chapter 580: –Removing age spots and wrinkles

Afternoon, 2 pm.

The air conditioner is at full blast, cooling the apartment.

Xu Yan is in the bathroom meddling with the washing machine. She poured the detergent and threw her dirty clothes in.

Grrrr…. Grrrr…. Grrrr….

The washing machine started.

Dong Xuebing remained in the master bedroom. He looked at Xu Yan and wondered if his power, REVERSE, could work on her. From his experience, it might be possible, but there will be many problems too. For example, will it cause pain or other discomforts on the subject? Most importantly, he cannot explain to Xu Yan if REVERSE is effective and might expose himself.

One minute…

Two minutes….

Three minutes….

Xu Yan walks out of the bathroom in a pair of old slippers. "Xiao Dong, why are you daydreaming inside? What are you thinking?"

"Nothing…." Dong Xuebing quickly stopped staring at the ceiling.

Xu Yan laughed and looked up. "What are you looking at?"

Dong Xuebing smiled. "My neck and back are aching, and it felt better when I lifted my head."

"Is it because of me?" Xu Yan felt apologetic and sat beside Dong Xuebing on the bed. "I should prepare softer padding. Let me massage your neck and back."

Dong Xuebing quickly waves his hand. "No need… I am fine…."

"…….. where does it hurt?"

"Thank you… I am fine…."

Xu Yan ignored him and moved closer. She turned towards Dong Xuebing and started massaging his shoulders. "Alright. Stop moving. Is it your neck and back?"

Dong Xuebing knew he could not reject Xu Yan and accepted it. "Thank you…"

"What's there to thank between us? Keep your head still and turn over…."

"Ahh…." Dong Xuebing slowly closes his eyes.

Sister Xu is good at grabbing Kungfu and has a stronger grip than most women her age. Dong Xuebing felt her hands on his shoulders, and she used her strength. He immediately felt an aching pain in his neck. "Sister Xu, lighter…. It's painful…."

"Ahhh…."

Xu Yan laughed. "Bear with it. It is more effective if you feel the pain."

"No…. It's too painful."

"Haha… you are a young man, and you cannot tolerate a bit of pain? Stop whining."

"It's not that I cannot tolerate pain. Your hands are too strong… Ah… ah…. Pain…."

"I know what to do. Bear with it, and it will be over soon."

Dong Xuebing got slapped on his head and can only clench his teeth to tolerate the process. A few minutes later, his neck and back muscles relaxed and are no longer so stiff. It felt much better, and the pain subsided. Xu Yan's massage is much Qu Yunxuan and Yu Meixia.

Xu Yan asked. "How is it?"

"It feels so much better."

"Haha… I told you so."

Xu Yan slapped Dong Xuebing's back. "Your neck is fine now. Lie on the bed facedown. Oh, do you want to take off your shirt?"

"Huh? No need."

"Ok."

Dong Xuebing had experienced Xu Yan's massage and did not stop her. He lay on the bed and waited for her to start working on his back.

Dong Xuebing heard the rustling of clothes, and Xu Yan seemed to have walked away from the bed. He heard the sounds of a drawer closing and a bottle being opened. Xu Yan rubbed her palms together and said. "I have a bottle of Vaseline." She moved onto the bed and reached under his t-shirt with both hands.

Dong Xuebing felt good and laid there to enjoy the massage.

Xu Yan's hands are not as smooth as Aunt Xuan's or Sister Yu's. After all, she is much older than them, but her hands still felt warm.

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

Half an hour….

The massage was so good until Dong Xuebing forgot about the time. He was shocked when he looked at his watch. He quickly got up. "Ah… it's been almost thirty minutes. You should stop and take a break." Even he will feel tired if he massages someone for half an hour.

Xu Yan smiles. "Stay there and stop moving."

"I am fine now."

"I will massage your legs. Alright. Stop moving."

"Ah… Sorry to trouble you… I will also massage you later."

Xu Yan slapped Dong Xuebing's back lightly to get him to lie down. She moved lower to his legs and started the massage.

Xu Yan is moving her hands up and down his thighs. She did not feel any awkwardness, but Dong Xuebing could not stand it. Luckily, she continues to work on his muscles down his legs to calves.

A few minutes later.

Dong Xuebing got up and asked. "Are you tired?"

Xu Yan wiped her sweat on her forehead. "I'm getting old now. I used to massage my son's back for over an hour without breaking any sweat."

Dong Xuebing felt bad. "I will massage you too."

"No need. You must be tired. Take a nap, and I will call you when dinner is ready."

"No…" Dong Xuebing doesn't agree. "Hurry and sit down."

"I am not feeling any soreness. I am the one throwing you today."

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing remembers about REVERSE and decided after some hesitations. Sister Xu is so caring towards him, and he should return the favor. He came up with a plan and waited for Xu Yan to come back from the bathroom.

"Can you remove your makeup?" Dong Xuebing asked.

Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "Why do you want me to remove my makeup?"

"Err… I had started learning from a Master of Traditional Chinese Massage. He had secluded himself in the remote mountains, and I don't even know his name. But his massage skill is good, and I had learned a move from him." Dong Xuebing made up a story. "Oh, you should know the principles of Chinese Traditional Medicated massages. It is to stimulate the nerve points and muscles to let our bodies react and remove our alignments. It is similar to taking medicines."

Xu Yan replied. "I know about this. But what has it got to do with removing my makeup? Are you telling me that you can remove my age spots? Hahaha…."

"Yes…. I can try." Dong Xuebing replied firmly.

Xu Yan is stunned. "…. Really?"

Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose. "I am not sure, but it might work. Age spots and wrinkles are considered a kind of illness. I had met someone without wrinkles in his late thirties and someone in his early thirties with lots of wrinkles. Since it is an illness, then it can be cured."

"Oh? Did you find the cure?"

"Huh? It's my Master who discovered the cure." Dong Xuebing replied modestly. "But it's only in theory, and the results differ between people. If this treatment suits you, you can see yourself becoming a few years younger."

Xu Yan laughed. "This sounds unreliable."

Huh…. Dong Xuebing blushed. He had seen a TV program showing a Chinese Traditional Medicine Doctor who specialized in massage. But that person is a conman and was arrested in the end. Sister Xu must have remembered that program. He asked. "Let's try it."

Anyway, Dong Xuebing can treat this as a facial massage if there are no results.

Xu Yan thought for a while and touched the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes. "I have been bothered by these blemishes for many years and tried many medicines to remove them. But the results are disappointing. Other than plastic surgery, there are no effective treatments for it. If you think Chinese medicine can help, I will let you try it."

"Alright. Can you remove your makeup first?"

"Ok." Xu Yan went into the bathroom.

Xu Yan seems calm about it. Maybe she doesn't believe what Dong Xuebing had said. He doesn't blame her, as he will not believe it if someone else tells him about this. Using massage to remove wrinkles and aged spots? How is that possible? She came out of the bathroom after a few minutes. The wrinkles and aged spots are more obvious after she removed her makeup.

Dong Xuebing felt pressured, but he had already said it, and he must not embarrass himself.

Let's start and hope nothing will go wrong!

Chapter 581: Alarming results!

Xu Yan's apartment.

Master bedroom.

Dong Xuebing looked at his watch, and it was 3 pm. He asked Xu Yan to sit on the bed and examine her face.

"When did you notice this spot?"

"I can't remember, but I think it appeared when I was around thirty-six or thirty-seven."

"…… what about the wrinkles?"

"It is around that time. But it got more serious recently."

"Recently? Do you know how many months was that?"

"Around six months ago. It was quite stressful then, and the age spot darkens, and a few more wrinkles appeared."

Around six months? Dong Xuebing activated MENU in his heart and checked his remaining time. He had accumulated around 4 minutes. If 1 sec of REVERSE is equivalent to one day, four minutes is sufficient to reverse time for more than six months. But he had not tried it and is still thinking of how to do it.

Xu Yan laughed. "Other than my son, you are the first person to see me without makeup. Do I look older?"

"No, you are still attractive."

"Stop your flattery." Xu Yan laughed.

Dong Xuebing rubbed his palms and said. "I am starting now. Let me know if you feel any discomfort."

"Ok." Xu Yan closed her eyes.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and raised his hands. He held Xu Yan's face in his hands and slowly massaged the corner of her eyes in circular motions with his thumbs. He is pretending to do a facial massage, and he can smell her fragrance. He secretly peeps down at the opening of her blouse. This is the first time he got to look at her so close.

"How are you feeling?"

"Hmmm… it's quite comfortable."

It is not easy to pretend to be a doctor. Dong Xuebing pressed against some of the nerve points on her face for a while and switched to other nerve points.

Half an hour……

One hour……

Two hours……

"Xiao Dong, what time is it now?"

"Huh? It's almost 6 pm."

"Let's stop and get dinner first. You must be tired too."

"No… It will be done in a while."

Dong Xuebing felt the preparatory work was done and lifted Xu Yan's face by the chin. He felt since he was going to use REVERSE, he should use it on her whole body rather than only her face. He mumbled REVERSE in his heart!

The remaining time starts to drop!

3 min 58 secs……

3 min 57 secs……

3 min 56 secs……

Xu Yan remained seated with her eyes closed when she suddenly frowned. "Huh?"

Dong Xuebing doesn't dare to be distracted and asked. "What's wrong?"

"My body feels a bit uncomfortable."

"This is normal. Bear with it. It will be over soon."

"Really? Ok."

Dong Xuebing was overjoyed when he heard Xu Yan felt a bit uncomfortable. That means REVERSE is taking effect. But when he looked at Xu Yan's face, he did not notice any changes.

3 min……

2 min……

1 min……

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing saw a shocking change. The wrinkles at the corner of Xu Yan's eyes started to shrink. The deepest two wrinkles started to shorten. He looked at another wrinkle and saw it getting shorter and slowly disappearing from her face!

It works!

It is effective!

Although Dong Xuebing knew it might work, the results were too shocking.

50 seconds……

40 seconds……

30 seconds……

Not only are the wrinkles disappearing, that age spot is also fading!

That brown spot had started to fade and much lighter!

3 seconds……

2 seconds……

1 second……

Dong Xuebing used up all his accumulated time, and REVERSE was deactivated!

At the same time, Xu Yan stopped frowning. "I don't get that feeling anymore. Is it done?"

Dong Xuebing released his hands and looked at Xu Yan again. He took a deep breath to calm himself. REVERSE can work on humans too. This is an amazing discovery!

"Alright. You can open your eyes now."

Xu Yan opened her eyes and smiled. She looks at the time. "It's so late now. Thank you for your hard work. Alright. Let's go for dinner now." She did not look at the mirror first and asked Dong Xuebing to go for dinner. This shows that she does not have high hopes.

Dong Xuebing asked. "Sister Xu, don't you want to look into the mirror first? Dinner can wait."

Xu Yan touched her face. "What's wrong? Did it work?"

"Haha… you will know when you look into the mirror." Dong Xuebing wants to give her a surprise.

"Alright. I will go to the mirror." Xu Yan got up and walked to the bathroom. "Have dinner at my place today. What do you want to eat?"

"I am fine with everything."

"Ok. I will see what I have in my fridge."

"We can talk about these later. Go and look at yourself in the mirror." Dong Xuebing is more anxious than her.

Xu Yan laughed. "You are more anxious than me. Haha… Alright. I want to see what changes I have. You better not lie to me."

Ten seconds passed……

Twenty seconds passed……

Suddenly, Xu Yan shouted from the bathroom. "Xiao Dong! Come here now!"

Dong Xuebing walks over with a smile. "What is it?"

Xu Yan points to the face in the mirror while touching the corner of her eyes. "How did this happen? Why did my age spot fade? I remember it was not this color when I removed my makeup! My wrinkles also disappeared! It was still there this morning! How come it's gone?" Xu Yan is almost one year younger and looks better now.

Dong Xuebing is satisfied by Xu Yan's reaction, and he laughs. "It seems like this massage treatment suits you."

"This is the result of the massage?!" Xu Yan looks at Dong Xuebing. "This is unbelievable!"

"How are you feeling now? Do you have any discomfort?"

"No." Xu Yan took a deep breath and touched her face again. "I had never felt so amazing before. Oh my god. You are full of surprises!" Xu Yan is excited and keeps checking the corner of her eyes in the mirror. "If I did not see this myself, I would never believe it. What massage is this? How come it is so effective?"

"This is a secret technique invented by my Master and has no name to it. If you want, you can call it beauty massage."

"I thought you were joking early. This is too amazing. How did this happen?"

Dong Xuebing sighed. "Sister Xu, you are very pretty now."

"Thank you." Xu Yan lifted her fringe. "How can a massage achieve such results? I had never heard of this before." Xu Yan suddenly looks at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Dong, does this mean you can remove all my wrinkles and age spot?"

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "This… is possible in theory."

Xu Yan looks at him without saying anything.

Dong Xuebing felt the hair on his back stands and knew what Xu Yan wanted. "But it is not possible today. My Master says there are side effects and cannot be used continuously. You got to wait a few days for the next session." He had used up all his remaining time.

"Then let's wait for a few days."

"I also did not expect the results to be so amazing, and I think it got to do with your body conditions. It is like medicine, and not everyone will get the same results." Dong Xuebing tried to downplay the effects of the 'massage.' "I hope you can keep this to yourself."

"It will not work on everyone?"

"Yes. Maybe your body condition is special."

"I know. Don't worry. I will help you keep this secret."

"Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you." Xu Yan is still looking at herself in the mirror and touching the corner of her eyes. "This gift is too amazing. Xiao Dong, can all my wrinkles be removed?"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "It should. I don't dare to claim you will be more than ten years younger, but it should not be a problem for you to be younger by six to seven years."

Xu Yan continued to look at herself in the mirror and started putting on her makeup. She turns around. "Xiao Dong, how is it?" Her age spot had faded and could be covered up with her concealer.

Dong Xuebing exclaimed. "You look like you are in your mid-thirties now, and many young girls don't look as good as you."

"Haha…" Xu Yan walks over and holds Dong Xuebing's hand. "Let's go. I will prepare a feast for you. You kept surprising me again and again. I wonder where you learn all these things. If I have a daughter, I will surely make you my son-in-law." Xu Yan is a quiet person, but she said a lot today because of her mood.

Dong Xuebing is also satisfied to see Xu Yan so happy.

Chapter 582: In the car!

The next day.

Tuesday morning.

Dong Xuebing woke up with a headache. He hugged the blanket and turned to his side. He could smell a woman's scent, and he looked around. He is sleeping on a queen-size bed and is hugging a thin blanket with flowery prints. The pillowcase is also feminine, and Xu Yan's photograph is by the bedside.

Huh?

Why am I sleeping here?

Dong Xuebing got up and noticed he was not wearing his shirt. He quickly walks out to the living room.

"You are up?" Xu Yan is putting on makeup in the bathroom. "How was your sleep?"

Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "Sister Xu, how did I end up sleeping over?"

Xu Yan laughed and walked out of the bathroom. "Can't you remember what happened last night? You drank two glasses of alcohol and fell asleep at the table."

Dong Xuebing asked. "I can only remember bits and pieces. If I slept on your bed, where did you sleep?"

Xu Yan looks at the pink blanket on the sofa.

"Ah." Dong Xuebing felt bad. "I'm sorry to let you sleep on the sofa. You should have let me sleep in the living room instead." Xu Yan's guestroom is empty, and they used it to spar yesterday.

Xu Yan laughed. "It's fine. Get ready for breakfast."

"I'm very sorry. I…"

"It's almost 7.30 am. Go and brush your teeth. You still have to work later."

"Ok."

"I had prepared a new toothbrush for you. It's over here.

Dong Xuebing entered the bathroom and started brushing his teeth. He slowly remembers what happened yesterday. Sister Yu was in a good mood last evening and took out a bottle of XO. Although State Security has regulations on drinking, she made an exception and drank with him. He is not used to drinking cognac and blacked out after two glasses.

During breakfast, Dong Xuebing noticed Xu Yan's dressing and was mesmerized by her.

Xu Yan laughed and asked. "What's wrong?"

"Err…. Nothing."

"Am I overdressed?"

"Err… no. Are you going to work like this?"

"Of course not. Haha… This is what I wear at home."

Xu Yan had worn a pair of beige tights, showing her curvy thighs and butt. Her top is a deep blue camisole. The top is normal, but this combination made her look sexy. Her tights' color is similar to her complexion, and she looks like she is not wearing pants.

This is an interesting way to match clothing.

Dong Xuebing finds Xu Yan's dressing very interesting and attractive.

After breakfast, Dong Xuebing said. "I will be going to work now."

Xu Yan replied. "Alright. I will not walk you to the door. I need to get change and go to work too."

"It's alright."

"Ok. Drop by for a chat when you are free. I am bored staying at home alone. I will let the guards know, and they will not stop your car."

"Ok."

Dong Xuebing drove out of the State Security Bureau family quarters. He is in a good mood for discovering a new way of using REVERSE and helping solve Sister Xu's troubles. However, his body is desperate to release his urges, as he had faced a beautiful woman for a day. He felt terrible and needed to satisfy his urge.

No!

How can I go to work in this state? I will not be able to concentrate!

Dong Xuebing stopped his car by the roadside and called Yu Meixia.

Ring… ring…

"Hello, Sister Yu? Are you still sleeping?"

A girl shouted over the phone. "Uncle! Is it you?!"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Yes. Why are you answering your mother's phone?"

"She is in the toilet, and she asked me to answer for her." Yu Qianqian said excitedly. "Uncle, we are having our mid-semester exams soon. … can I apply to a high school in the city?"

"Mid-semester exams? Oh, you are in year three now. Go ahead. I am planning to fetch your Mum and you to the City even if you are not having exams."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I… what if my results are not good enough?"

"I can also get you a spot in the high school. Don't worry."

"Terrific!"

Yu Meixia said in the background. "Stop shouting and pass me the phone."

"…… Sister Yu?"

Yu Meixia replied timidly. "Xiao Bing, good morning."

Dong Xuebing is amused. Yu Meixia is fine when they meet, but she is always so nervous on the phone.

"Haha… good morning."

"Qianqian, go and pack your bag."

Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you sending Qianqian to school now?"

Sister Yu lowered her voice. "I am sending her to the bus stop. Qianqian's school has a school bus to send and fetch their students."

Dong Xuebing blinked. "What are you going to do later?"

"I might be visiting the housing agent later to discuss our apartment's sales."

"You can meet the housing agent another day. Don't go other places and come to Nanshan District today."

"Ah? Is it urgent?" Yu Meixia asked.

"We can talk later. Take a taxi if you cannot get a long-distance bus ticket. I will fetch you at the bus station."

"…… now?"

"Yes. Come over as fast as possible."

Dong Xuebing can't wait to meet Yu Meixia. He hangs up and looks at his watch. He doesn't care if he is going to be late today.

Ten minutes……

Half an hour……

One hour……

A long-distance bus from Yan Tai County entered the bus station. The passengers alighted with their luggage, and Dong Xuebing spotted Yu Meixia among them. She is wearing a pastel-colored dress, and her hair is pinned up. She looks around for Dong Xuebing timidly.

"Sister Yu!"

"Xiao Bing."

Yu Meixia quickly walks over. "What… what happened?"

Although they had met two weeks ago, Dong Xuebing is still excited to see her. He felt it's been years since they last met. "Come…. Let's talk in the car."

They boarded the car, and Dong Xuebing drove towards the west.

Yu Meixia, who is in the front passenger seat, asked anxiously. "Xiao Bing, can you tell me what happened?"

Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed when she asked. He had called her over for some intimate moments, but Sister Yu thought something serious had happened. He didn't know how to reply and cleared his throat. He lowered the windows and took out his cigarette box from his pocket.

Yu Meixia quickly helped him take out the pack of cigarettes from his pocket and clumsily dropped a stick. She took out a cigarette and placed it on his lips before lighting it.

Dong Xuebing took a puff. "Thank you."

"Xiao Bing." Yu Meixia is still anxious. "What happened?"

Huh? Why are you still asking? How do you want me to answer?

Dong Xuebing glanced at Yu Meixia's voluptuous chest, enhanced by the seatbelt. He reached over and slid his hand through the blouse opening. His fingers touched her bra, and he slid his palms into it.

Yu Meixia blushed. "No… there are people around."

"We are driving. No one can see."

"Stop…" Yu Meixia bit her lower lips and tried to stop Dong Xuebing by pressing against her chest. She could feel his hands through the clothing.

Dong Xuebing loves Sister Yu's soft character. He took out his hand from her chest and placed it on her thighs. "Err… let's find a quiet place first. I… nothing had happened. I called you over because I missed you."

"……."

"Why are you keeping quiet?"

"……"

"Are you angry?"

"…… no."

"Are you not angry?"

"No."

Dong Xuebing loves Sister Yu as she had never lost her temper before. It's rare to find such a woman nowadays.

"Hang on. I am going to speed up."

"Are… are we going to a motel?"

"Huh? We will do it in the car."

"Ah?"

Chapter 583: Measure with your mouth

Morning, 9 am.

Outside of a secluded garden in Nan Shan District.

The Cayenne stopped, and Dong Xuebing got into the rear passenger seats with Yu Meixia.

"No, Xiao Bing. We cannot do it in the car."

"Look, there's nobody around. Hurry up."

"No, please…"

"Let's go to my apartment then. Or do you prefer to go to a hotel?"

"No. Others might see us."

"That's why I picked this place. There are no one around."

Dong Xuebing wrapped his arms around Yu Meixia's waist and started kissing her neck, face, ears, etc. Her face had turned red, and she didn't dare to push him away. Her eyes were focused outside of the car when Dong Xuebing reached under her dress and pulled out a pair of white undies. He did not remove her dress but pushed it up to her waist.

"Ah…."

Yu Meixia bit her lips and laid there quietly. She grabbed the helms of her dress and tried to cover herself.

Dong Xuebing caressed and admired her smooth thighs.

Yu Meixia could not stand it and tried to hide her legs. "Stop looking."

"What's wrong with me looking at your legs? It's not the first time."

"……."

Dong Xuebing knew Yu Meixia was shy and stopped teasing her. He leaned forward and kissed her lips. "Sister Yu, you are getting sexier."

"…… no."

"What do you mean no? You are sexy."

"No…"

"Haha… stop being modest. I am going to take off your clothes."

"……."

"Can I take off your clothes?"

"…… ok."

Dong Xuebing quickly took off their clothes and hugged her meaty thighs, and started moving.

Ten minutes……

Twenty minutes……

Half an hour……

The Cayenne stopped rocking.

Sister Yu is easily satisfied. She had reached her climax after around ten minutes. Her body shook, and her eyes became teary. This gave Dong Xuebing a sense of achievement. If it was Aunt Xuan, he got to move at least half an hour before she reached this state.

A while later.

Yu Meixia is panting in the passenger seat. She rested for a while and took a piece of tissue paper to wipe herself before throwing it out of the windows. She puts on her dress and looks out of the window in relief.

Dong Xuebing got dressed and hugged her from her back. He could see a tear in the corner of her eye. "What are you crying?"

Yu Meixia blushed. "I am not."

"There's a tear here. Look. This is evidence."

"…… I… I don't know." Yu Meixia refused to admit it.

"How come you don't know? Tell me, why are you crying?"

"…… no."

Dong Xuebing is amused. He knows this is Yu Meixia's body reaction and feels it's interesting. He pulls her over. "Seat on my lap."

Yu Meixia moved closer and sat on his lap.

Dong Xuebing played with her fair thighs. "I'm sorry to call you over. If you are angry, you can scold me. But I miss you. Both you and Qianqian should move here after she gets her results. I feel something is missing when you are not beside me. I wish you were by my side every day, and I can hug you whenever I want." He knows Sister Yu is easily pleased, and he did miss her.

Yu Meixia rested her head on Dong Xuebing's shoulders and nodded.

"Oh, what time is it now?" Dong Xuebing asked.

Yu Meixia looks at her watch. "It's 10 am. You should get to work. I… I can go back myself."

"No." Dong Xuebing hugged Yu Meixia by her waist. "I am not going to work today as there are no urgent matters. I will accompany you."

"No need. Work is more important, and I will be fine." Yu Meixia got up and wanted to leave.

Dong Xuebing pulled her back onto his lap. "You are not allowed to leave. It's rare for you to come, and I will accompany your sightseeing in the city." He is not that bad to ask her to go back herself after calling her over. He might not know what Xie Huilan or Qu Yunxuan are thinking, but he knows Yu Meixia well.

Yu Meixia is easily pleased, and she hugs Dong Xuebing. She took out a cigarette and lit it for him. after that, she took a piece of tissue paper and held it in her hands to catch the falling ashes. Even a caring wife is not as thoughtful as her.

Yu Meixia's gesture touches dong Xuebing. "You don't need to do this. There's an ashtray in the car."

Yu Meixia shook her head and continued to hold up the piece of tissue paper.

"It might burn you."

Yu Meixia slowly puts down the tissue paper and helps Dong Xuebing to tidy his shirt. "… are you busy with your work recently?"

Dong Xuebing is satisfied and relaxed. "It's alright. Subdistrict Office has lots of mundane work, but nothing serious. What about you? What have you been doing the past two weeks?"

Yu Meixia replied. "I had been reading with Qianqian and did not do anything."

"Oh, where do you want to go?"

"I'm fine with any places." Yu Meixia massaged Dong Xuebing's legs and shoulders.

"Let's go to the mall and buy some clothing for you and Qianqian."

"No… we have lots of clothes. We still haven't worn the clothes you bought for us previously."

"How about we go to the movies? There's a few foreign films screening recently."

Yu Meixia blushed. "I… I can't understand."

Dong Xuebing remembers Yu Meixia had not attended school, and she couldn't even read the subtitles. "Are we going to stay here the whole day?"

Dong Xuebing could tell Yu Meixia doesn't want to go anywhere. She wants to chat with him in the car.

Ten minutes……

Half an hour……

One hour……

This park is secluded, and not many people will come at this hour. Dong Xuebing made a mental note of this place and will come back for a rendezvous in the car.

"Xiao Bing." Yu Meixia suddenly called him. "Wait a while."

"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia and saw her taking out a measuring tape from her handbag. "What are you doing?"

Yu Meixia replied softly. "I have nothing to do at home and borrowed a sewing machine from my neighbor yesterday. I want to sew a shirt for you and need your measurement. I had taken your measurement previously, but you had lost weight recently. I need to take it again."

Who tailors their own clothes nowadays?

Dong Xuebing replied. "I can just buy it at the mall. Why waste time doing all these? This is too tiring."

"It's different." Yu Meixia bit her lips. "You… if you don't like it… I will not do it."

"No…" Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "I like whatever you make for me. Go ahead and take my measurements. Do you want me to take off my clothes?"

Yu Meixia smiled. "No need."

Yu Meixia took down Dong Xuebing's measurements of his waist, chest, length, etc., on a piece of paper and kept it in her pocket. "It's done."

It felt good to have Yu Meixia touching all over his body. "Continue to measure… measure my legs too."

"It's all done."

"It might not be accurate, and you should measure again."

Yu Meixia nodded and took out the measuring tape to measure Dong Xuebing's thighs again.

Dong Xuebing is up to no good. He kept saying it was not accurate with his pants on and took it off.

"Come… measure again."

"……. It's done."

"It's not accurate using the tape." Dong Xuebing whispered into her ears. "Use your mouth this time."

Yu Meixia might not be smart, but she's not stupid. She knew what Dong Xuebing meant and blushed.

"Hurry up."

"……."

Yu Meixia did not reject Dong Xuebing's request. She had never rejected any of his requests. She looks around outside of the car and kneels in the tight space. She wet her lips and slowly lowered her head.

About fifteen minutes later.

Dong Xuebing relaxed and leaned back in the passenger seat.

Yu Meixia covered her mouth with one hand and grabbed a piece of tissue paper with the other.

Chapter 584: Fight!

Evening.

Long-distance bus station, west of Nan Shan District Square.

Dong Xuebing kissed Yu Meixia's forehead in the Cayenne. "It's quite late, and Qianqian should be home. You should get going."

Yu Meixia nodded but did not move.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing looks at her. "You don't want to leave?"

"No…" Yu Meixia blushed.

"Then go back first. Both of you can move to the city after Qianqian finishes her exams."

"Ok." Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing and kissed him on his cheeks. "I… I am going now."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Be careful and give me a call when you reach home."

Yu Meixia nodded and tried to open the door. But she doesn't know how to open it. She started blushing and felt stupid.

Dong Xuebing helped her with the door and groped her butt. "Alright."

Yu Meixia quickly straightened her dress and got off the car. She turned and waved to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing waved back. "You must be tired today. Go back and rest early."

"I'm not tired." Yu Meixia unconsciously squeezes her thighs together. "You should rest early too."

Dong Xuebing did not leave after Yu Meixia entered the station as he wanted to see her board the bus first. He lit a cigarette and looked at her back. Her long dress is crumpled and is different from this morning. Wet patches can still be seen on the dress helms. She seemed to know it and used her hands to cover that area.

Suddenly, someone whistled.

A Chevrolet Cruze drove past the bus station and slowed down beside Yu Meixia. The driver, a young man in his twenties, rolled down the window and whistled at her.

Yu Meixia turns around and sees that man. She quickly lowered her head and quickened her pace.

That young man saw Yu Meixia's reaction and whistled at her again. His eyes are scanning her from top to bottom.

Yu Meixia has a soft and weak character and dares not to retaliate when someone harass her.

Dong Xuebing cannot stand it and get out of his car. You dare to whistle at my Sister Yu?! You are F*CKING digging your grave!

At this time, the young man had driven away.

Dong Xuebing was about to get back into his car to chase him.

Yu Meixia saw it and ran over. "Xiao Bing, no… forget it."

Dong Xuebing replied. "Just go to your bus."

"I am fine." Yu Meixia hugged his arms. "Never mind."

Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia. "Alright. I will not chase after him. Just go back."

"…… really?"

"Yes." Dong Xuebing thought for a while and felt it was meaningless to go after that young man.

Yu Meixia continued walking to the bus station.

After a while, Yu Meixia bought the bus ticket and boarded the bus to Yan Tai County. Dong Xuebing watched the bus leave before fastening his seatbelt. He drove back towards Guang Ming Subdistrict. He was still thinking about this afternoon. Yu Meixia's voluptuous body is too seductive. Other than lunch, dinner, and taking a short stroll in the park, they spent the rest of their time making love.

Five minutes……

Ten minutes……

Twenty minutes……

When Dong Xuebing was about to reach his quarters, he noticed the same Chevrolet Cruze, who had harassed Yu Meixia earlier, in the opposite direction. He immediately stops his car. He had driven past this junction several times and knew this was an accident-prone area. Two nearby lamp posts had broken down, and it's quite dark. There is a construction site next to the junction, and there are lots of big trucks around. That's why there are not many pedestrians around.

Two men are quarreling beside the Cruze.

"Get out of the car now!"

"Stop shouting at me!"

"Get out!"

Dong Xuebing realized that man shouting at the Cruze's driver was his Subdistrict Office Deputy Director, Guo Mingfeng. He is in charge of the Respect and Cares for the elderly's work.

"Is this the way you drive?" Guo Mingfeng shouted. "Are you blind?"

"How dare you accuse me? Why are you walking on the road?" That young man shouted back.

"I was crossing the road at this junction, and you are speeding! I would be dead if I didn't react fast!"

The young man points at Guo Mingfeng in his face. "You don't watch out for cars when crossing roads?! What are your eyes for?!"

"You brat! How dare you point at me?!"

"What's wrong with pointing at you?! I still dare to beat you up!"

Dong Xuebing knew what happened from their argument. Guo Mingfeng should have gone out for dinner and was nearly knocked down by this young man on his way back. That's how the argument started. The driver of the car will be held responsible if such accidents happen. But since there is no accident, he should just apologize to the pedestrian. But this young man refused to apologize and blamed Guo Mingfeng for not watching out for traffic when crossing the road. Dong Xuebing looked at the driver coldly and thought about how he harassed Sister Yu at the bus station earlier.

The argument got louder.

"You are so dark! Who can see you on the road?!"

"I dare you to say it one more time!" Guo Mingfeng shouted.

"I can say that to you ten times!" The young man replied. "I am warning you to get lost! I don't have time for you!"

Guo Mingfeng took out his phone and was about to call the Police.

"I am asking you to get out of my way! Did you hear me?" The young man saw Guo Mingfeng not moving and slapped him! "Get lost, Old Bastard!"

Guo Mingfeng was stunned for a second and realized that the young man had hit him. "You brat!"

"I dare you to scold me again!" The young man moved forward and slapped him again.

Guo Mingfeng has a small build and is not young. He is no match for that young man and was knocked down within seconds.

The young man laughed and took out an expandable baton from his car's glove compartment. He points at Guo Mingfeng with it. "I will break your legs if you still don't get lost!"

Dong Xuebing did not expect the argument to escalate into a fight so quickly. He had wanted to wait and see, but that brat hit Guo Mingfeng suddenly. He got mad and jumped out of his car. He conflicts with the Geng Faction because he let Zhou Yanru handle the Respect and Care for the elderly work model unit award. This is taking power away from Guo Mingfeng, and he showed his displeasure yesterday. But Dong Xuebing cannot walk away after seeing him getting beaten up.

"What are you doing?!" Dong Xuebing walks over quickly. "Drop that baton!"

The young man looks at Dong Xuebing. "Who are you?! Mind your own business!"

Guo Mingfeng did not expect the young man to hit him suddenly and could not react quickly. When he saw Dong Xuebing, he was relieved. He had seen Dong Xuebing's combat skills before. He got back on his feet and started scolding that young man.

"F*CK! You are asking for it!" The young man raised his arm and swung the baton at Guo Mingfeng!

Dong Xuebing will not stand there and watch Guo Mingfeng get beaten up. He moved forward and grabbed that hand, which was holding the baton, and twisted it!

Crack! It sounded like bones breaking!

The young man screams in pain. "Arrgh…! F*CK you!"

Dong Xuebing looks at that young man coldly. "I dare you to say it one more time!"

"F*CK you……." The young man cursed and kicked towards Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing sidestepped to avoid that kick and gave him a knee strike in his chest. The young man fell backward from the impact and landed on a rubbish bin beside. He struggled to get back on his feet but failed, and he lay there groaning in pain.

Dong Xuebing straightens his shirt as if nothing had happened.

Dong Xuebing had not held back against this young man because he felt he was too arrogant and harassed Sister Yu. Regardless of Dong Xuebing's relationship with Guo Mingfeng, the latter is still his subordinate. He will not allow anyone to hit his men. That young man is lucky if he did not suffer from any fractures.

"Old Guo." Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you ok?"

"Thanks to you." Guo Mingfeng rubbed his face lightly. "I'm fine. This brat had hit me hard."

"You should check out your injuries at the hospital. Come, I will send you." Dong Xuebing thought nothing about this incident. The other party had used a baton, and this is considered self-defense. That's why he did not even call for an ambulance for that young man.

The young man, who was still lying in the pile of rubbish, stares at Dong Xuebing. "You… F*CKING watch out! I will remember you!"

Dong Xuebing had heard such statements countless times. He ignored that young man and got into his car.

"You want to remember me?! Go ahead. I am not so free to remember you.

Chapter 585: Beat up another Leader's relative again!

Next day.

Wednesday morning. Dong Xuebing drove into Guang Ming Subdistrict.

"Director."

"Good morning, Director."

"Director Dong."

The staff greeted Dong Xuebing the moment he stepped in. Everyone is impressed by him. Director Dong dares to drive an expansive car that is worth over a million and can fight dozens of people at once. He even snatched Ping An Subdistrict's National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit nomination. These are all amazing feats, and even Geng Faction's staff respected him.

Dong Xuebing returns the greetings by nodding to them.

"Good morning, Director." Zhou Yanru had just arrived and was locking her bicycle.

"Good morning, Director Zhou." Dong Xuebing smiles. "Oh, how is the progress?"

Zhou Yanru took her bag out from her bicycle basket and entered the building with Dong Xuebing. "It's proceeding smoothly. I heard the Inspection Team is inspecting the last nominee in our Province, and I think the results will be out these few days."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Try to have more interactions with the Inspection Team before they return to the Central Government."

"Ok." Zhou Yanru replied. "I have some documents that require your approval. Shall I bring it to your office later?"

"Is there anything else?"

"No… Oh, Guo Mingfeng had applied for sick leave today."

"Ok."

Work Party Secretary Office.

Dong Xuebing starts to go through the pile of documents. He had skipped work for one day, and his work had piled up. All the documents required his signature, and he got to read every word carefully.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes…..

Half an hour…..

Knock, knock…. The Subdistrict Office Director doesn't have secretaries, and Sister Zhou is acting as Dong Xuebing's secretary. Everyone in the Subdistrict Office knows they are close, and they would go to her if they could not find Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing looks at her. "What is it?"

Zhou Yanru replied curiously. "A few Police Officers from the Public Security Branch are looking for you."

"City's Public Security Branch?" Dong Xuebing frowned. "Nan Shan District's City's Public Security Branch?"

"I think they are from Public Order Department."

Dong Xuebing knew this was because of last night's incident. "Alright. Let them in."

After a while, a few Police Officers entered Dong Xuebing's office. The Team Leader is a man around thirty years old. He asked emotionlessly. "Are you Dong Xuebing, Director Dong?"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "What is this regarding?"

"We are investigating a case."

"Oh? Have a seat." Dong Xuebing said to Zhou Yanru. "Director Zhou, can you help me get a few cups of water for these Officers?"

Zhou Yanru looked at the Officers, and the Team Leader waved his hand. "No thanks. We are going off after asking some questions. Director Dong, where were you last night, around 8 pm?" One of the Officers took out a notebook.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "8 pm? I should be on my way home in Guang Ming Subdistrict."

The Officer nodded and asked. "Is the black Porsche Cayenne, with Beijing's registration plate, your car?"

Dong Xuebing nodded.

The two Officers, standing behind, exchanged looks. They had guessed it. The registration plate number is too scary, and which Subdistrict Office's Director dares to drive such an expensive car to work? No civil servants in Hebei Province dare to do this!

The Officer paused for a second and continued. "We have received a complaint from a guy named Xue Xiaoliang his morning. He said he was assaulted in Guang Ming East Street. We met him in Second People's Hospital earlier, and he is seriously injured. He suffered multiple fractures. Director Dong, can you tell us what happened yesterday?"

Xue Xiaoliang?

Zhou Yanru was shocked when she heard this name.

Dong Xuebing notices Zhou Yanru's reaction and looks at the Officer. "I passed by Guang Ming Street last night and saw our Subdistrict Office's Deputy Director Guo Mingfeng arguing with a young man. That young man had almost knocked into him while driving. Instead of apologizing, that young man hit Director Guo end even took out an extendable baton from his car. I immediately went over to stop him. I tried to disarm him by twisting his arm, but he refused to stop. He even wanted to hit me with the baton, and I was forced to kick him. I had hit him twice."

The Officer asked. "Are there other witnesses?"

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Other than Director Guo, there is no one around."

The Officer asked about other details before saying. "Thank you for your cooperation, Director Dong."

"Haha… no problem." Dong Xuebing looks at the Officer. "But why is the District Public Security Branch's Public Order investigating this case? Why is it not handled by the Police Station?"

The Officer smiled and did not reply. He asked Zhou Yanru if Guo Mingfeng was in the Subdistrict Office. The Officers left after they heard Guo Mingfeng is not working today.

The door closed.

Dong Xuebing felt something was wrong and asked. "Sister Zhou, you know this person, Zhou Xiaoliang?"

Zhou Yanru smiled wearily. "I remember the Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong has a son named Xue Xiaoliang. But I am not sure if he is the one."

Xue Qingrong's son?!

Dong Xuebing was surprised. "How does he look like?"

Zhou Yanru lowered her voice. "I have not met him before. Do you want me to ask around?"

A while later, Zhou Yanru informed Dong Xuebing that the young man he had beaten up last night was the District Party Committee Member and Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong's only son!

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. This is a coincidence. If he knows that the District Leader's relative is the young man, he will not go all out.

Fine… I had offended another Leader again!

However, Dong Xuebing is not worried. This is not the first time he beats up a Leader's relative, and he was defending himself last night. No one can say anything about this.

Chapter 586: Got to fight again!

9 am.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

"Eh, the District Public Security Police Officers were here to for Director Dong."

"I heard Director Dong and Director Guo had beat up the District Organization Department Chief Xue's son."

"Ah? They had beaten up Xue Xiaoliang?! This is serious. What happened?"

"I heard it was Xue Xiaoliang who had attacked them with a weapon, and Director Dong and Director Guo had retaliated as self-defense." The Subdistrict Office's staff did not expect such an incident after two days of peace.

Guang Ming Subdistrict's Secretary of the Disciplinary Work Committee Qu Yiqiang heard about this incident and rushed to Dong Xuebing's office. "Director, I heard Xue Xiaoliang's injuries are quite severe."

"Really?" Dong Xuebing does know about this.

Zhou Yanru is in Dong Xuebing's office, and she added. "His arm and a few of his ribs are fractured."

Qu Yiqiang took a deep breath and felt this incident could not be covered up.

Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "Xue Xiaoliang is too arrogant. He was attacking Director Guo with a retractable baton. He might be killed if I was not there." Qu Yiqiang frowned but was not surprised. "Director, I heard Xue Xiaoliang had knocked down someone previous, and the victim was seriously injured."

"Oh?" Dong Xuebing looks at Qu Yiqiang. "Did it happen?"

Zhou Yanru nodded. "I had heard about that incident before. Xue Xiaoliang is an aggressive driver, and that accident happened last year. The victim is a middle-aged man, and he was awarded a sum of money after amputation." She paused for a second and added. "The compensation is not a lot, and it was covered up." That accident did not blow up, but many people within the Government Service knew Xue Qingrong had suppressed it.

That little bastard is a frequent offender? Dong Xuebing felt he had done a good deed.

But Qu Yiqiang and Zhou Yanru look worried. This incident involves the District Organization Department Chief, and it will not be settled easily. Even if Dong Xuebing had retaliated because of self-defense, Chief Xue might have used other means to get back at him and Guang Ming Subdistrict. If Xue Qingrong wants to take revenge, it will be bad news for their Subdistrict Office.

"Director, this……"

"Go back to work. I will visit Xue Xiaoliang at the hospital now."

Dong Xuebing left his office and drove to Nan Shan District's Second Hospital.

Dong Xuebing had offended the Organization Department during the illegal building crackdown. Xue Gui is Xue Qingrong's relative, and Dong Xuebing had beat him up and arrested him. He also ordered them to tear down their illegal buildings and caused Xue Qingrong's trusted aide of his promotion. Their grudges had started, and Dong Xuebing had a bad impression of him because he tried to interfere with the tearing down of illegal buildings. He suspects Xue Qingrong had sent Peng Kun to stop the crackdown. But it blew up, and Dong Xuebing had to clear the mess for him.

Second Hospital.

Orthopedics ward.

Dong Xuebing went to the Doctor's Office. A few doctors and two nurses are in the office.

"Doctor." Dong Xuebing asked. "How is Xue Xiaoliang's condition?"

A middle-aged doctor looks at Dong Xuebing. "Who are you?"

"I am Dong Xuebing."

The middle-aged doctor frowned. "You are the culprit?"

Dong Xuebing knew the Police Officers had come before, and the doctors should know about him. "How is he now?"

"No comments!" The middle-aged doctor waved his hand. "We are discussing his treatment proposal. Get out now!" Dong Xuebing knew this doctor must be trying to suck up to Xue Qingrong.

A younger doctor said. "Director Wu, look at this X-ray." That middle-aged doctor is a Chief in the Second Hospital, and he asked a nurse to send Dong Xuebing out.

The nurse told Dong Xuebing. "Our hospital cannot reveal our patient's condition to others due to confidentiality. Please go back." Dong Xuebing glanced at Director Wu and was amused. The police officer revealed that Xue Xiaoliang had not reported the incident last night and should have gone home. It was this morning when he came to the hospital and called the Police. If he can drive home last night, his condition is not serious. Dong Xuebing had seen many people trying to suck up the Leaders during his time in the government service and thought nothing about it. He walks along the corridor to look for Xue Xiaoliang's ward.

Dong Xuebing had come to the hospital to visit Xue Xiaoliang as he was the one who hit him. Although he is not sorry and has not broken any law, he still needs to give Xue Qingrong 'face.'

Ward 302.

Xue Xiaoliang is on the bed, covered in bandages. Xue Qingrong is sitting beside the bed, looking at him.

Dong Xuebing knocked on the door and entered. He places the fruit basket on the table.

Xue Xiaoliang saw Dong Xuebing and shouted. "It's you! F*CK! Dad! It was this bastard!"

Dong Xuebing looks at Xue Xiaoliang.

Xue Qingrong looked at Dong Xuebing. "Why are you here?"

Dong Xuebing is unhappy with both the father and son's attitudes. But he remained calm. "Chief Xue, I'm here to visit your son. I didn't know Xiaoliang was your son last night."

"I am warning you, Dong Xuebing!" Xue Xiaoliang shouted. "This is not over! It's…. cough… cough… cough…. Not over!"

Xue Xiaoliang started coughing. His ribs were broken, and it was hard for him to shout.

Xue Qingrong quickly pats his son's back. "Stop talking!"

"……. Dad! Cough…."

"Lie back on the bed!" Xue Rongqing shouted at his son and turned to Dong Xuebing. "I will get the Police to investigate this incident thoroughly!" Dong Xuebing is frustrated. "Chief Xue, if you know what happened, then…."

"I know what happened!" Xue Rongqing points to the door. "Xiaoliang needs to rest. Get out!"

Hmph! Are you trying to blow this up? Your son can attack me, and I cannot defend myself? Did your family set the laws?! Dong Xuebing felt disgusted by Xue Qingrong. Because of Xue Gui and Xue Rongqing's interference previously, Dong Xuebing was scolded by the District's Leaders and investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Now, he is trying to create trouble again. Fine! You can investigate all you want! I am not afraid because I have done nothing wrong!

Dong Xuebing couldn't be bothered to speak with Xue Qingrong and left.

There's nothing else to say as I had given you 'face,' and you are not accepting it.

Dong Xuebing left the ward, and Xue Xiaoliang hits the headrest. "Dad! That bastard is too much!" Xue Qingrong replied. "Stay out of this and rest well."

Xue Qingrong had heard about this incident and knew it was his son who started it. Xiaoliang should not have used the baton as Dong Xuebing only needs to pay the hospital bills at most after injuring him. But he cannot let Dong Xuebing off lightly. The person in the hospital is his son, and he will lose 'face' if he does not do anything. Furthermore, his son's last year accident in which he almost killed a pedestrian, is not completely over. It will be bad for his reputation.

Xue Qingrong thought for a while and called Director Wu to the ward.

"Chief Xue, are you looking for me?" Director Wu asked.

Xue Rongqing paused for a second. "How are the results of my son's injuries?"

"It's all minor injuries." Director Wu misinterpreted Xue Qingrong. "Fractures need longer time to heal, but he should be recovered within two months."

Xue Qingrong looks at Director Wu. "Minor injuries?"

Director Wu was stunned and stopped talking.

Xue Rongqing knocked on the table. "Conduct more checks. Check his brain, blood, liver, etc. My son kept saying he is not feeling well."

Director Wu understood what Xue Qingrong wanted. He wants the injuries to be exaggerated. "Ok."

After Director Wu left, Xue Qingrong looked at his son. "Are there any witnesses last night?"

Xue Xiaoliang replied weakly. "Other than a short and dark guy, there is no one else."

"WAs it, Guo Mingfeng?" Xue Qingrong nodded and walked to the bathroom with his phone. He got his men to get Guo Mingfeng's phone number and called him. "I am Xue Qingrong!"

Guo Mingfeng was stunned. "Chief Xue?!"

"Yesterday's incident…."

"I'm sorry, Chief Xue! I didn't know it was your son." Guo Mingfeng had heard what happened this morning.

Xue Qingrong did not get mad. "Have the Police looked for you? Not yet? Ok. I want to know what happened. Tell me about the hold incident. Did Xiaoliang hit you, and was the holding a baton? Dong Xuebing's statement is different from what my son told me. I know my son well, and he will never hit others. Director Guo, don't be anxious to reply to me. Think carefully before you answer. Did my son attack you all first, or was it Dong Xuebing who attacked him?"

Chapter 587: The God of Plague's forte!

Morning.

Side-building, Dong Xuebing's office.

Dong Xuebing thought everything was over when he returned to his office. Still, the District Public Security Bureau enforcement unit's officers came looking for him again.

Dong Xuebing is frustrated. What else do you all want?

The Officer said after entering Dong Xuebing's office. "Director Dong, we received new information about the case and need to ask you about last night's incident."

Dong Xuebing replied. "Didn't I tell you the whole incident?"

"I hope you can understand that we are doing our job."

"Fine… fine… what else do you want to know?"

The Officer looks at Dong Xuebing. "Who started the fight last night at Guang Ming Street? Was it you or Xue Xiaoliang?"

Dong Xuebing frowned. "I had told you that it was Xue Xiaoliang who attacked Guo Mingfeng first."

The Officer paused for a second and said. "But the information we received is different from your account."

"Huh?" Dong Xuebing felt something was off.

The Officer continues. "We had contacted Deputy Director Guo Mingfeng. He said you were the one who attacked Xue Xiaoliang first."

"Ah?" Dong Xuebing doesn't know if he should laugh or cry. "What did you say?"

The Officer replied. "Guo Mingfeng said he was on his way home last night and did not get into any dispute with Xue Xiaoliang. He saw Xue Xiaoliang smoking beside his car along the road, and you arrived in Cayenne. You descended and got into an argument with Xue Xiaoliang, and you made the first move by twisting his arm. After that, you kicked him into the rubbish bin. Xue Xiaoliang had never done anything and was beaten up by you. We also did not find the extractable baton you mentioned in his car."

Dong Xuebing couldn't believe his ears. "Did Guo Mingfeng say this?"

"Yes." The Officer looks at Dong Xuebing. "Both Xue Xiaoliang and Guo Mingfeng's accounts matched. Guo Mingfeng claims he does not know why you hit Xue Xiaoliang and felt you might be drunk, or you two have some previous grudges."

Drink driving?!

I am the aggressor?!

Dong Xuebing smirked.

Guo Mingfeng! I had helped you because you are Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's staff, yet you backstabbed me! Do you even dare to fabricate evidence to frame me?! One must have a bottom line. Xue Xiaoliang did not attack you, and I was the only one who attacked him?! Fine! I had saved you, but I got into trouble instead?! Guo Mingfeng, this is a brilliant move!

The Officer continues. "There are only three of you there during that time. Guo Mingfeng was not involved in the fight and is the only witness. His statement is the same as Xue Xiaoliang. So, we have to…."

"What is it?"

"We need you to come with us to the station. You had committed intentional assault."

Dong Xuebing looks at the Officer. "What injuries does Xue Xiaoliang have? Intentional assault?!"

"The hospital had confirmed his injuries are very serious. Not only his arm is broken. His ribs are also fractured. If he had not received treatment in time, it might be life-threatening."

"Life-threatening?" Dong Xuebing asked. "Did the Second Hospital issue this report?"

"Yes." The Officer felt life-threatening is exaggerated, but he is only in charge of the investigation. Everything points to Dong Xuebing as the aggressor. If he cannot reach a private settlement with the other party, he might be sentenced.

Dong Xuebing did not expect things to turn out this way. He nodded and called Guo Mingfeng. Ring… ring… ring… no one answered.

Guo Mingfeng had given a false statement….

The hospital's injury report….

Dong Xuebing felt this was a setup, and Xue Qingrong should be behind it. That old bastard must have threatened Guo Mingfeng and made him turn against Dong Xuebing. After that, he instigated the hospital to exaggerate his son's injuries for Dong Xuebing to be charged for intentional assault. After he is charged, the Commission of Discipline Inspection will go after him. He will be punished and will lose his position!

This is a well-calculated ploy!

Dong Xuebing is furious. Your son had attacked others, and you pushed the responsibility to me?!

Xue Qingrong! How are you qualified to be a Party Member?! How can you be a Government Leader?!

You want to set me up?! You must be blind!

"Director Dong." The Officer stood up. "Please come with us…."

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing's mobile phone rang.

Dong Xuebing looks at his phone. It is his mother. "I can go back with you all. But let me answer this call first. Please wait outside."

The officers looked at each other and left the room. If this was other civilians, they would forcefully restrain and bring him back. But Dong Xuebing is a Civil Servant, and they can allow some leeway.

The door closed, and Dong Xuebing answered the call. "Mum."

"Xiao Bing!" Luan Xiaoping anxiously asked. "Why have you gotten yourself into trouble again?"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are quite fast."

"I heard that your Nan Shan District's Organization Department Chief's son was beaten up and found out you are the one…."

"I am not at fault." Dong Xuebing replied. "His son should be beaten up. If I knew this would happen, I would not have held back."

"This is not the time to talk about all these. Don't worry, I will call Old Yang."

"No… no…" Dong Xuebing doesn't want Yang Zhaode to get involved, as his mother and he are still not married.

"What can you do without his help? Isn't that Xue guy from your District Government's Organization Department?"

"So what?! I would not let him off easily if he stepped on my toes!" Xue Qingrong had crossed the line, and he was furious. "Mum, don't worry about me and don't ask Old Yang for help. You should know how capable I am. Xue Qingrong dares to frame me?! He should find out how I climb to my position in the past two years first!"

"Are you sure you will be fine?"

"Don't worry. I have my ways."

Dong Xuebing laughed after he hung up. He had encountered all sorts of troubles, and this incident was nothing to him. He might not be good at building a relationship with the Leaders, but fighting against the Leaders is his forte!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 588: Then don't blame me!

Morning.

News of Nan Shan District Public Security Officers arresting Director Dong spreads. This cannot be covered up, and it caused an uproar within Guang Ming Subdistrict.

"Are you sure? What happened?"

"Did Director Dong commit intentional assault? Is he going to be charged?"

"I thought Director Dong and Director Guo were defending themselves?"

"You don't know about it? Director Guo states in his statement that he was not involved. It was Director Dong who attacked the other party for no reason."

"How can he say that? I heard it was Director Dong who saved him. Director Guo is too much."

"Lower your voice. That is Chief Xue's son. Director Guo must be pressured to give a false statement."

"We don't know anything as there are no other witnesses. Who knows what happened?"

Everyone is discussing this incident, and they know something big is going to happen!

Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang were discussing work in the latter's office when they heard about this. Qu Yiqiang's face changed, and Zhou Yanru got furious.

Guo Mingfeng had given a false statement?!

Director Dong is going to be charged?!

Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang had gotten close with Dong Xuebing after he was appointed as the Director. They might not understand their new Director well, but they know his working style. They know he will not and do not need to make up a story. Dong Xuebing might be rash and impulsive, but he dares to admit what he had done. That's why they know Guo Mingfeng's statement is false!

"Guo Mingfeng!" Zhou Yanru banged the table. She did not get along with the Geng Faction well. "What is he doing?! He is ungrateful!"

Qu Yiqiang added. "The Organization Department must have pressured him."

Zhou Yanru replied. "But he should not stab Director Dong in his back! Where are his principles?!"

"Let's go!" Qu Yiqiang cannot stand it. "Let's go and see Director Dong!"

Zhou Yanru is mad. If Dong Xuebing is fired, her life will be miserable!

On their way downstairs, Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang saw Geng Xinke and Yu Rongfeng. They are also looking troubled, but Zhou Yanru knows they must be laughing in their hearts. If Dong Xuebing is sentenced, he will lose his position as the Subdistrict Office's Chief. This position will surely go to Geng Xinke. Maybe it was Geng Xinke who asked Guo Mingfeng to give his false statement!

Subdistrict Office's compound.

Dong Xuebing and a few Public Security Bureau Officers walked out of the side building towards the two parked Police cars.

"Director!" Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang walked over.

Dong Xuebing looked at them and smiled. He does not seem worried.

Zhou Yanru thought to herself. I am worried about you, but you are so calm. "Director, that incident has nothing to do with…."

"Alright. Go back to work." Dong Xuebing patted Sister Zhou's shoulder. "This is a small incident. Don't be alarmed."

Small incident?!

Zhou Yanru is speechless. You are going to be charged, and you call this a small incident?

Qu Yiqiang is impressed with Dong Xuebing's reply. Who can remain calm if they are in his shoes?!

They don't know what Dong Xuebing had gone through in the past two years. He was buried under a landslide and almost died. He had defused a timebomb to save Xie Huilan. He was accused of killing Li Hong because he had offended the County's Party Secretary, and it was Huilan testified for him. Compared to all these things that happened to him, an intentional assault charge is nothing. He is used to it.

But being used to it does not mean Dong Xuebing will accept it. He might look calm, but he is burning with rage inside. He will make those who framed him pay!

Dong Xuebing entered the Police car, and the Police cars drove out of the Subdistrict Office.

On the way to the Station, Dong Xuebing looks at the Officer beside him. "Comrade, I would like to go to the District's Second Hospital before going to the Station."

The Officer hesitated for a second. "Why?"

Dong Xuebing replied. "I should be allowed to speak to the parties involved first. If we can reach a private settlement, it will be settled."

The Officer thought for a while and nodded. He said to the driver. "Go to the Second Hospital."

"…… Sorry to trouble you."

Such requests should not be allowed. It is as if Dong Xuebing is asking the Enforcement Unit's Officers to be his driver. But the Team Leader did not reject his request because he does not know about Dong Xuebing's background. Dong Xuebing's car is worth over two million, and the registration plate is from Beijing. Although many registration plate numbers like 7777 and 9999 had been issued in the past, it was all the wealthy and powerful people who owned them. This means Dong Xuebing has a strong background. The Team Leader does not have high authority like the District Organization Department Chief. Xue Qingrong might not care about Dong Xuebing, but the Team Leader got to give the latter 'face.' That's why he chose to turn a blind eye as long as it is not against the rules. He got to try and avoid offending both sides.

Second Hospital.

Osteopathy Ward.

Two Officers entered the ward to explain the situation before coming out and let Dong Xuebing enter. They closed the door.

There are three people in the ward. Xue Qingrong, Xue Xiaoliang, and Director Wu.

Director Wu is telling Xue Qingrong about the treatment proposal for Xue Xiaoliang when the Officers come in to tell them about Dong Xuebing's intentions. But Director Wu pretended not to have heard anything and continued to speak to Xue Qingrong after Dong Xuebing entered the ward. "We will monitor his condition first. Surgery is not required now, and we will finalize his medical treatment proposal tomorrow. What else do you need?"

Xue Qingrong nodded. "That's about it."

"Alright. Let me know if you need anything. I will leave now."

"Thank you, Director Wu."

"It's my job." Director Wu walked past Dong Xuebing without looking at him.

Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. Are you that desperate to suck up to the Leaders? You are only a Deputy Director of the hospital! Who are you to show me such attitude?!

Only Dong Xuebing, Xue Rongqing, and his son remain in the ward.

Xue Xiaoliang, who was lying on the bed, laughed. "I thought the Police had arrested you? Why are you not at the Station? Are you going to be charged?! How many years will you be sentenced?" He laughed and coughed.

How can a Government Leader's son have such an attitude?

Dong Xuebing is disgusted by Xue Xiaoliang and looks at Xue Qingrong. "Chief Xue."

Xue Qingrong interrupted Dong Xuebing. "Speak to the Police if you have anything to say. Xiaoliang needs to rest. Get out!"

"We both know what happened." Dong Xuebing looks at Xue Qingrong in his eyes. "Chief Xue, do you think this is meaningful? Your son had attacked others with a weapon, and you instigated him to give a false statement? Is this how you bring up your son? I can't believe this is what the District's Organization Department Chief should do!"

Xue Qingrong looks at Dong Xuebing coldly. "The evidence had shown who the attacker is! Dong Xuebing! You will pay for your crimes!"

Dong Xuebing laughed. Xue Qingrong can lie without blushing.

Xue Xiaoliang knows the Police Officers are outside, and he is mindful of his words. "When did I attack others?! Ah?! Do you have evidence? I was smoking along the road, and you attacked me for no reason. How can you claim I had attacked you?! Guo Mingfeng is my witness! Stop pretending you are innocent! You have to pay for your crimes!"

How dare you say this?! Dong Xuebing continued. "Then let's discuss the compensation. Chief Xue, how much do you want to settle this?"

Xue Xiaoliang interrupted. "It must be at least 300,000 for the medical fees!"

300,000?! You are asking for too much! You attacked me with a baton, and I still have to give you 300,000?!

Dong Xuebing is speechless, but he still asks. "300,000 for private settlement?"

Xue Xiaoliang was about to say something, but Xue Qingrong interrupted. "You should pay for the medical fees, and we don't need any compensation! We will not agree to a private settlement!"

Xue Xiaoliang heard his father and stopped talking.

Xue Qingrong had made it clear that they didn't want any compensation and would not agree to a private settlement. He wants Dong Xuebing to be charged in court! He is determined to bring down Dong Xuebing. Not only did he threaten Guo Mingfeng to testify for Xue Xiaoliang, and he still wanted Dong Xuebing to pay the hospital fees, get fired, and be charged in court.

Xue Rongqing and Xue Xiaoliang had gone overboard!

Dong Xuebing could not tolerate it anymore. "I had given in, but you all don't accept it. Then don't blame me!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 589: Re-examination!

11 am.

Second Hospital, Osteopathy Ward.

Dong Xuebing did not hold back as they had a fallout. Did they think I am a pushover and they can step all over me?! His grudges with Xue Qingrong started when he arrested Xue Gui and caused the Organization Department's Deputy Chief Peng Kun to lose his promotion. Xue Rongqing might have wanted revenge since then.

Then let's fight it out! Do you think I am scared of you? Dong Xuebing had faced more than a dozen incidents like this, and he had never lost!

"Given in?" Xue Qingrong is mad. "Do you think I need you to give in?"

Xue Xiaoliang smirked. "Dad, don't waste your time on him. Let the Officers bring him away!"

Dong Xuebing looks at them. "It is too early to say who the Officers will be bringing back. Chief Xue, I am asking you for the last time. Are you willing to settle this privately?"

Xue Qingrong replied. "Xiaoliang is badly injured, and you must pay for what you did!"

"I must pay for what I did?! You should know it was your son who brought it onto himself!"

"I dare you to say it again!" Xue Qingrong's face changed.

Dong Xuebing can't be bothered to continue with this argument. He took out his phone and made a call. "Hello, Lawyer Hu? Where are you? Oh, you have reached? Good, come upstairs." He knew this would happen and called a famous law firm in Hebei Province after his call with his mother. He hired a lawyer and paid the deposit through internet banking.

Lawyer? Xue Qingrong and Xue Xiaoliang frowned.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit entered the ward. "Who is Mr. Dong?"

"I am." Dong Xuebing walks over and shakes his hand. "Lawyer Hu? Sorry to trouble you."

Dong Xuebing had told Lawyer Hu what happened over the phone. They ignored others and signed the contract in the ward. Although Dong Xuebing had paid the deposit, they still needed the paperwork.

Xue Xiaoliang laughed. All the evidence is pointing at Dong Xuebing. He can never clear his name even if he hired a legal team.

Lawyer Hu asked Dong Xuebing. "Mr. Dong, what do you need me to do?"

"I want you to be the witness." Dong Xuebing said and saw a nurse walk past the ward. "Nurse, can you call Director Wu over?"

Director Wu and two doctors entered the ward with a frown after a while. "What do you want?" He has a bad attitude towards Dong Xuebing.

The Officers outside also entered the ward.

Dong Xuebing looked at Director Wu. "Director Wu, stop showing me this attitude. Who are you trying to show?"

Director Wu is showing a rude attitude towards Dong Xuebing to show Xue Qingrong.

Dong Xuebing continued. "Let's not waste time. Officers, did Xue Xiaoliang report me for intentional assault based on his injuries?"

The Team Leader nodded. "Yes."

"Ok." Dong Xuebing turns to Director Wu. "Can you provide me a copy of Xue Xiaoliang's injury report? I want the detailed report, including the x-rays."

This is a normal request, and the hospital cannot reject it.

A few moments later, a nurse brought the report and x-rays into the ward.

Dong Xuebing took it and read it with Lawyer Hu.

"The injuries are quite serious." Dong Xuebing sighed. "Multiple fractures, minor concussion, pulled muscles… Did I cause these serious injuries?"

Director Wu got mad by Dong Xuebing's sarcastic remarks. "We can conclude the injuries are not caused by a fall from the report."

Why do you keep finding fault with me? Dong Xuebing smiles and looks at Director Wu. "Director Wu, I find you have a problem with me. You kept showing me a bad attitude since I came. What are you trying to prove? Are you trying to hide something?"

Director Wu got angry. "What are you saying?!"

"Are the injuries so serious?" Dong Xuebing turns to Lawyer Hu. "Can I request for a re-examination of his injuries?" Lawyer Hu nodded. "This is a legit request."

"Alright." Dong Xuebing gave Lawyer Hu the report and X-rays. "Hold on to these. Director Wu, Chief Xue, I have doubts about Xue Xiaoliang's injuries."

No one knows what Dong Xuebing is trying to do.

Re-examination? No matter how many times the x-rays are taken, the bones will still be fractured! What is he trying to do?

Director Wu laughed in his heart. Do you think our hospital will fabricate the injury report? Even if we are to fabricate the report, it will not be so obvious!

"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing looks at them. "You all don't dare to examine the injuries again?"

Director Wu looks at Xue Qingrong for instructions. "Chief Xue?"

Xue Qingrong also doesn't know what Dong Xuebing is up to. He had accompanied his son to the hospital for the checks this morning and knew the report was not fabricated. No matter how many times they check, the fractures will still be there. He nodded. He knows this matter will be dragged since Dong Xuebing had called a Lawyer.

Director Wu ordered his men to bring Xue Xiaoliang to be re-examined.

A nurse pushed Xue Xiaoliang's bed out of the ward, and Dong Xuebing and Lawyer Hu followed. Dong Xuebing stopped and looked at the Officers with a smile. "Officers, since we are not in a rush to go off, let's go together. You all can be witnesses if the report is found to be fabricated. It is a crime to fabricate an injury report, right?"

The few Officers, Director Wu and Xue Qingrong, followed Xue Xiaoliang for the re-examination.

Every one there does not think there is anything wrong with the injury report.

Dong Xuebing secretly placed his hand on Xue Xiaoliang's shoulder when they were along the corridor.

REVERSE!

One second….

Two seconds….

REVERSE deactivated!

Xue Xiaoliang saw Dong Xuebing's patting his shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"Haha… I tripped." Dong Xuebing laughed and walked in front.

No one noticed anything wrong with Dong Xuebing's actions.

Chapter 590: Shocking Re-examination results!

Before noon.

Nan Shan District Second Hospital.

The group arrived at the X-ray room on the second floor. Xue Xiaoliang didn't need to queue for his turn and was pushed into the room by the nurse.

One minute….

Two minutes….

Three minutes….

No one thought there would be anything wrong with the x-rays, and everyone sat there patiently. Dong Xuebing and Lawyer Hu are chatting by the window, and the Officers are looking around out of boredom. Xue Qingrong and Director Wu sat on the blue plastic bench.

"Chief Xue, are we going to carry on with the discussed treatment procedure?" Director Wu asked.

Xue Qingrong nodded. "Start it after the x-rays are completed."

Director Wu frowned and looked at Dong Xuebing. "What if they have other requests? The treatment might have to be delayed to this afternoon, and it might not be good for Xiaoliang's recovery.

Xue Qingrong glanced at Dong Xuebing. "When the x-rays are out, he will not have the chance to make other requests!"

Director Wu understood what Chief Xue meant and immediately ordered a doctor to prepare the treatment procedures.

The x-rays will show Xue Xiaoliang has multiple fractures, and that's enough to charge Dong Xuebing for intentional assault, and no lawyers can stop it.

Three minutes….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Director Wu frowned as they had been waiting for a while. X-rays should not take so long. CT scan results are also very fast, but the results are in batches, and patients have to wait. Xue Xiaoliang is the only patient for this examination, and it should be quite fast.

A doctor came out of the x-ray room with a shocked expression.

Director Wu looks at the doctor. "What are you doing? Are the x-rays done?"

The Doctor replied. "Director Wu… errr…. Can you come over for a minute?"

"What's wrong?" Director Wu walks over. "Are the results out?"

"Can we talk inside? This…" The Doctor opened the door for Director Wu.

Dong Xuebing suddenly blocked the door and stopped them. "What are you all doing? Are the x-ray results out? Bring them out if they are ready. Why are you calling your Director into the room? Ah? Are you trying to amend the results?"

Lawyer Hu walks over and protests.

The few Officers sensed something was wrong and looked over.

Director Wu saw them and did not enter the room. He said to that Doctor. "Bring the x-rays out!" He thought to himself in his heart. What can go wrong now?

The Doctor returned to the room and came out with an x-ray. "This is the x-ray of his right arm."

"The arm with the fracture?" Director Wu glanced at the x-ray, and his face changed!

Xue Qingrong stands up. "What is it?"

The other doctors and Officers moved closer to look at the x-ray.

Fracture? There are no fractures shown in the x-ray! The bones are intact!

Xue Qingrong and Director Wu are stunned!

"What are you all doing?" Director Wu stared at that Doctor. "Did you all use the wrong arm?"

The Doctor also could not believe the results. "No. This is the right arm, and we took x-rays twice."

Xue Qingrong shouted. "Impossible!"

Dong Xuebing snatched the x-ray from Director Wu and looked at it before giving it to Lawyer Hu.

"Give us back that x-ray!" Director Wu panicked and tried to snatch it.

Dong Xuebing grabbed his wrist. "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to destroy the evidence?"

Lawyer Hu quickly kept the evidence with the x-rays he had gotten earlier.

Xue Qingrong looks at Director Wu. "What is going on?"

"I am not sure. The machine might have some problems." Director Wu shouted at the Doctor. "Get the chest x-ray! Be careful this time!" There should be fractures in the chest area, as he was the one who accompanied Xue Xiaoliang and Xue Qingrong to take the x-ray this morning. He had seen the results with his own eyes.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

The door opens, and the Doctor walks out. "Director Wu."

"How is it?" Everyone turns and looks at that Doctor.

The Doctor was shocked and did not say a word. He passed the x-ray to Director Wu.

"This……"

Director Wu sensed something was off from that Doctor's eye. He looked at the x-ray, and beads of sweat started forming on his forehead!

Normal!

The ribs are all normal!

Multiple fractures?! There isn't even a hairline crack! It's more normal than normal people. There are no injuries at all!

Why is this happening?

Director Wu was stunned for a moment. "Check again! Use another machine!"

Dong Xuebing did not say anything or stop them. He just stood there and watched.

Lawyer Hu collected the x-ray and kept them in his briefcase.

Xue Xiaoliang was re-examined again. This time, Director Wu and Xue Qingrong stood by the machine to ensure the checks.

Normal!

The results showed Xue Xiaoliang is normal again!

Director Wu started to sweat profusely. He knows he is in trouble and quickly gets his men to conduct other tests on Xue Xiaoliang!

Half an hour later, the results are out!

Xue Xiaoliang's body is in good condition. He does not have fractures, and his pulled muscles have disappeared!

Xue Xiaoliang couldn't believe his ears when he heard the results. "How is this possible?"

"How did you all conduct the checks? I could feel…." Suddenly, Xue Xiaoliang paused. His chest no longer hurts when he speaks.

The injury result is shown to everyone now.

Everyone took a deep breath. The patient who could not even raise his voice earlier turns out to be healthy?!

The injury report was fabricated!

This is the only possibility!

Xue Qingrong exploded. "Director Wu! I demand an explanation!"

Dong Xuebing finally speaks. "You want an explanation?! Shouldn't you all give me an explanation first?!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 591: Going crazy in public!

Second hospital.

The air is tense in the second-floor corridor. No one had expected this turn of events!

An unexpected turn of events.

Even the arrogant Xue Xiaoliang knows he is going to be in trouble.

Dong Xuebing is not forgiving and is unreasonable. He took a copy of the x-ray results from Lawyer Hu and hit it with his palm. "Can anyone tell me what is going on? Ah?! Director Wu! Is this the diagnosis of your Second Hospital? How can a healthy person be diagnosed with multiple fractures and pulled muscles?! You all had fabricated the injury report to blackmail me! I want to know why you all did such things! Is it to make me pay more money or blackmail a larger amount?! Chief Xue and Director Wu! Did you all work together to accuse me?! Who gave you the power to do this?! Ah? I demand an answer!"

Dong Xuebing's mouth is more skillful than his combat skills. He is good at pinning labels on others!

A crowd had formed.

Not only the hospital staff had gathered, many patients moved closer to see what happened.

Director Wu no longer dares to show a bad attitude towards Dong Xuebing. "Director Dong, this might be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Dong Xuebing threw the x-ray result on the floor and pointed at it. "This is a misunderstanding?! How can you say this is a misunderstanding? If I had not requested for a re-examination, I would be framed by you all! Do you know how serious it is to frame a Government Leader?!"

Director Wu wiped his sweat on his forehead. "The machine might have malfunctioned, or we might have taken someone else's x-rays this morning. We will investigate this thoroughly. Please calm down…."

"You want me to calm down?! It's easy for you to say! Isn't it clear now?!" Dong Xuebing continued. "Stop pushing the blame! No wonder you had been giving me a bad attitude since we met. You had planned to frame me! What are you trying to do?! Ah? Do you know how serious this is?!"

Dong Xuebing turns to Xue Qingrong. "Chief Xue, I need you to give me an explanation. You are a Leader with the District Government. I respect you, but that does not mean you can frame me! You got your son to feign injury and instigated the Second Hospital to fabricate the x-ray results! What are you trying to achieve?!" Dong Xuebing used this opportunity to give Xue Qingrong a lashing.

Xue Qingrong's face had turned green. He had never expected someone to scold him in public.

Xue Xiaoliang shouted at Dong Xuebing. "Stop making a scene here! How dare you speak like this?"

"This is the way I speak!" Dong Xuebing looks at the father and son. "Did you pretend to be injured so you can demand higher compensation from me? What sort of characters do you all have?! How can a Party Member do such things?! I feel shameful for you!"

Everyone is looking at Dong Xuebing scolding his superior, but they are not surprised. No one can accept such an accusation. Faking injuries to frame someone is too much, and no one can blame Dong Xuebing for getting mad.

Xue Qingrong retorted. "Stop your accusations! I don't know anything about this! Did we ask for compensation?"

"You didn't?! Medical fee is not money?! After I am charged in courts, you will get the compensation. Chief Xue! When did I offend you? Why did you and your son try to frame me?! You dare to say you don't know anything?! It's easy for you to say so!"

Xue Qingrong replied coldly. "I will repeat this! This is the hospital's problem, and I don't know anything about the injury report!"

Dong Xuebing replied. "You are trying to push the blame to others!"

Director Wu could not sit still after hearing what Chief Xue said. What do you mean by you don't know anything? Are you trying to push everything to me?! You are the one who hinted that you want the injuries to be exaggerated! Now, you want me to be the scapegoat?! Director Wu is angry and disappointed. He had tried his best to suck up to Xue Qingrong since he came to the hospital, and all he wanted was a promotion to the Health Ministry. But Xue Qingrong is ruthless and pushes everything to him!

Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. Let them fight among themselves. See for yourself, Director Wu. This is the result of trying to suck up to Xue Qingrong! Everyone knows in their heart who was the main culprit.

The Officers were looking terrible. They felt they had been fooled by Xue Qingrong, his son, and the hospital. They had to go around to gather evidence, record statements, and even arrest Dong Xuebing at Guang Ming Subdistrict. But they found out the injury report is fake! Xue Xiaoliang was not injured and did not even have a bruise on him. They had been fooled into running around the whole morning! But Xue Qingrong is the Organization Department's Chief, and the Officers dare not to show their displeasure.

Dong Xuebing continued. "Stop pushing the blame to each other. I am demanding an answer from you all!" It was Xue Qingrong who was pushing Dong Xuebing into a corner. He had given in by asking for a private settlement, but Xue Qingrong refused. You want to hold me responsible for your son's injuries and tried to frame me?! F*CK! I will be the one who will be going after you now. "Lawyer Hu, we have gotten the evidence. Please prepare the paperwork to sue."

Hu Jianhua nodded. "Alright. Who are you suing?"

Dong Xuebing looks at the people around him. "The Second Hospital and Xue Xiaoliang!"

Xue Qingrong, Xue Xiaoliang, and Director Wu's faces turn pale!

None of them want to see this incident blow up. But they still can't understand why the injuries on Xue Xiaoliang disappeared!

No one knows Dong Xuebing had used REVERSE on Xue Xiaoliang when they left the ward and returned his body's condition to the day before he was injured!

Chapter 592: Director Wu is dismissed!

Afternoon.

Second Hospital.

Xue Qingrong still didn't believe the re-examination results and left with his son for Nan Shan District's First Hospital for a re-examination. The few Officers did not bring Dong Xuebing back for investigation as the 'victim' did not even have a bruise on him. They can't arrest Dong Xuebing for intentional assault. But Dong Xuebing stopped them before they left. He wants the Police to investigate Xue Xiaoliang for blackmailing him and asked them to investigate yesterday's assault case thoroughly. He insisted that it was Xue Xiaoliang who had used a retractable baton to attack him, and he would not accept any false accusation against him!

"Ok." The Officer thought for a while and replied. "We will investigate this case."

Since this incident had blown up, the Police could not stop the investigation.

Dong Xuebing followed the Officers out of the hospital building and gave them a few cigarettes. "Sorry to trouble you all."

"No problem." The Officers accepted Dong Xuebing's cigarette and left after a short chat.

Dong Xuebing continues to smoke outside of the hospital and thinks about this incident. Xue Qingrong, Xue Xiaoliang, Guo Mingfeng, Deputy Director Wu. He will settle this score with these people!

Dong Xuebing decided to start with Director Wu!

Dong Xuebing threw the cigarette butt on the floor and returned to the hospital.

Suddenly, someone called him. "Director Dong, are you Director Dong?"

Dong Xuebing turned and saw a middle-aged woman walking towards him. "Yes. You are?"

"I am the Director of Second Hospital." The Director shook Dong Xuebing's hands. She was not working today and had just rushed over. "Director Dong, can we talk upstairs?"

Dong Xuebing had wanted to meet her. This woman is the Director and not a Deputy Director.

Second Hospital Director Office.

The Director made a phone call and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Director Dong, I was informed of what happened. This is our hospital's mistake and has caused lots of trouble for you. I am sorry, and I apologize to you on behalf of the hospital." She said and bowed.

The Director had to bow down as this incident had a severe impact on the hospital's reputation. Fabricating an injury report and framing a government servant. These are serious offenses and will affect the promotion of the hospital's higher management. The civilians will also lose their trust in them. This incident involved a District Government Leader's family member and a Subdistrict Office Leader. If the hospital is sued, they will be reported on the papers, and she might lose her job. The consequences are too much for the hospital to bear.

Dong Xuebing sat there and did not say anything. He is still angry with that Deputy Director Wu.

The Director looks at Dong Xuebing. "Director Dong, I hope we can reach a private settlement and the lawyer…."

Dong Xuebing asked after a short pause. "……, how do you want to settle it?"

"We can make monetary compensation." The Director replies.

Dong Xuebing shook his head. "Fabricating an injury report. A healthy person can be x-rayed and found to have multiple fractures. You should know the consequences of doing this better than me." Even without Dong Xuebing's REVERSE, Xue Xiaoliang's injury had been exaggerated. "He is even diagnosed to have life-threatening injuries. I wonder how your hospital had come up with this diagnosis. I shall be honest with you. I don't need monetary compensation."

Knock… knock… knock…

Director Wu knocked and entered. "Director, are you looking for me?" He saw Dong Xuebing in the office, and his face changed.

The Director is still angry over what happened, and she points at Director Wu. "Tell me what happened with the x-rays!" Director Wu tried to explain. "I don't know. It might be the Doctors who had…."

"Who is it?!" The Director shouted. "I want you to point out which Doctor is it!"

"We are still investigating, and… we are not sure who was it."

"You are not sure?! You had accompanied the patient through all his checks, and you don't know who was it?!"

"I…." Director Wu couldn't answer.

Director Wu suspects one of the doctors had meddled with the report during the first examination. The Doctors and nurses under him suspected it was Director Wu who had changed the report.

No one wants or dares to accept this blame as they can't bear the consequences!

Until now, Director Wu started to regret getting involved in this incident to suck up to Xue Qingrong. He also hated Dong Xuebing for creating this problem for him.

The female Director took a deep breath and said. "Director Dong, I will investigate this matter and punish the person-in-charge!"

Dong Xuebing replied. "The person in charge is Director Wu. I want to know how your hospital is going to handle this incident."

Director Wu turned pale when he heard this. "Director!" The Director looked at Director Wu and paused for a second. "I will call for a meeting immediately, and Director Wu will be suspended for investigation. He will also be reported to the Health Ministry and will be dismissed from his position!" The Director knows she must be decisive, or it will be too late after the papers report this incident. Dong Xuebing has the initiative, and since he is targeting Director Wu, she decides to sacrifice him. Compared to the hospital's reputation and benefits, a Deputy Director is nothing.

"I have nothing to do with this! Director!" Dismissal?! Director Wu panics!

The Director is frustrated by him. "You are the one handling the patient from the start to the end! You have nothing to do with this?! Then who is it? Me?!"

"I……"

"That's enough! Go back and wait for the investigation!"

Dong Xuebing is satisfied with Director Wu's dismissal and did not say much. He took out his phone and called Lawyer Hu to ask him not to file the lawsuit first. This hints to the Director that he will not sue the hospital if Director Wu's dismissal is confirmed. He had never thought of suing the hospital as the first x-ray report is real. If an investigation was conducted, more problems might arise. This is the best outcome, as he is only targeting Director Wu. Director Wu needs to learn that not everyone can accept his bad attitude!

The female Director sighed in relief after knowing this incident was settled.

Dong Xuebing stood up and left. As he was walking past Director Wu, he patted his shoulder and said softly. "Learn to be smart next time."

Director Wu's face turns green, and he knows he is done!
