Power and Wealth

Chapter 1189: Criticism!

Afternoon, after 3 pm.

Four ambulances arrived.

The doctors and nurses realized they needed more ambulances when they saw the scene. They quickly attended to the injured. It was like a warzone, and they were shocked by the injuries. The assailant had knocked out the villagers’ teeth, smashed their faces, broke their legs, etc. The injuries were horrifying but not life-threatening.

Leng Gang walked over and asked. “How is it?”

A doctor replied. “We rendered first-aid.”

Leng Gang asked. “Are there any serious injuries?”

The doctor replied. “None of their injuries are life-threatening, but they must be warded for months.”

All the villagers woke up when the doctors treated them. They saw the police and started crying for help.

“Murder!”

“My leg!”

“How can he do this to us?”

“Chief Leng, you must arrest them!”

“It’s that guy in the car! He was the one who hit us!”

An officer beside Leng Gang refused to believe. “Are you all sure it is that guy?”

A villager cried. “It’s him! Our tractor broke down on the road, and they insisted we move it. We did not move the tractor, and that man started beating us.”

“Yes! You must arrest him!”

“My leg! Look what he had done to my leg!”

These villagers started to act like victims.

Dong Xuebing was amused and did not say anything. He supported himself against the car and got out slowly. Chen Xiaomei and Yao Cui saw him and quickly went over to help him.

The villagers, complaining to the police officers, shut up when they saw Dong Xuebing leave the car.

This was too shocking.

Almost twenty men were too frightened to make a sound after being stared at by someone with fractures all over his body.

Dong Xuebing said slowly. “What did you all say?”

“……” The villagers looked at Dong Xuebing. They were terrified and dared not say a word.

No one doubted Mayor Jiang and Zhang Feng’s words after they saw these villagers’ reactions.

It was Dong Xuebing who did this to them!

Dong Xuebing had subdued these villagers with one hand!

Most of the people there were police officers who undergo training yearly. All of them can fight and have met good fighters. But none of them had met or heard of anyone who could fight against so many people with Dong Xuebing’s injuries.

The doctors and nurses were shocked too. They could not understand what had happened. When they saw Dong Xuebing, a nurse said. “You are injured too. Please get into the ambulance.”

Zhang Feng was speechless as he thought to himself. Mayor Dong does not need the ambulance. His injured body is better than most people’s. Why does he need to visit the hospital?

Leng Gang and Zhen Shui County’s police officers looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing smiled at that nurse. “Thank you. I am fine.”

Meng Rui looked at Dong Xuebing. “Are you sure, Mayor Dong?”

“Thank you, Secretary Meng. I am fine. Sorry to make you and Chief Chu travel so far.”

Meng Rui replied. “We are concerned for Mayor Jiang and your safety.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I will not allow anything to happen to Mayor Jiang.”

Dong Xuebing sounded boastful, but Yan Yizhi, Zhang Feng, and the rest knew he was telling the truth.

Chu Peng looked at Dong Xuebing. “Mayor Dong…. Did you subdue these people?”

Dong Xuebing nodded and explained. “Yes. These villagers purposely blocked the road with the tractor and extorted money from us. They surrounded us and started hitting our cars, scolding us when we refused to pay them. In the end, they snatched twenty thousand RMB from us.” He pointed to the two stacks of money on the ground. “The money is there.”

A villager shouted. “You hit us first!”

Dong Xuebing stared at him. “I dare you to repeat what you said.”

That villager kept quiet and hurried the nurse to help him into the ambulance.

Chen Xiaomei added angrily. “They are too much. They refused to leave after taking our money and even spat at Mayor Jiang!”

Spat at Mayor Jiang?

Meng Rui’s face changed.

All Zhen Shui County’s officers were furious.

Chen Xiaomei continued. “Mayor Dong got out of the car after that but did not attack those villagers. The villagers surrounded Mayor Dong and attacked him with their weapons!”

Yan Yizhi added. “Mayor Dong was defending himself.”

Zhang Feng said. “Yes. It was dangerous. All of us might be injured if Mayor Dong did not retaliate.”

Mayor Jiang?

Jiang Fangfang? Mayor Jiang?

Leng Gang and his officers’ expressions changed when they heard Mayor Jiang. They had heard of Mayor Jiang and had seen her. But they thought Mayor Jiang was here with Zhen Shui County’s officers. They knew this incident had become troublesome after hearing what happened.

Leng Gang looked at Dong Xuebing. He had to gain an advantage. “You must be Zhen Shui County’s, Mayor Dong. I am Leng Gang.”

Dong Xuebing looked at him. “Police station Chief?”

“Yes.” Leng Gang said. “Even if they had attacked you first and you acted in self-defense, you had seriously injured them. They pose no threat to you with your combat skills. This changed everything.”

Chen Xiaomei got mad. “You are accusing us!”

Yan Yizhi stared at Leng Gang coldly. “Where were you all when the incident happened? Why are you trying to accuse us before the investigation is over? What is the meaning of this?”

Not only Zhen Shui County’s Executive Deputy County Mayor, Dong Xuebing, is there. The County’s Party Secretary, Mayor, Political and Legal Secretary, and many leaders are there. But a small Police Station Chief dares to speak to them in this manner. Someone powerful must be backing him.

Leng Gang started arguing with Chen Xiaomei and the rest.

Dong Xuebing waved to Chen Xiaomei and the rest. He looked at Leng Gang and smiled. “You all did not appear until more than half an hour after we called. Now, we feel accused. Your name is Leng Gang, right? I will remember you. I considered compensating their medical fees, but I changed my mind. You all will settle their medical fees yourselves. I suspect your police station is in cahoots with these villagers to extort our money. These villagers will give your police station some extortion money, and you will pretend not to receive any reports. Am I right?”

Leng Gang was furious. “What did you say?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Oh, no wonder your police officers arrive so late. The local Police Station Chief is deaf.”

Leng Gang shouted. “You will take responsibility for what you said! You are accusing us!”

“Haha… you are getting mad.” Dong Xuebing continued. “Yes, I am accusing you, and I had subdued these people. Go ahead and arrest me! Hurry up. You are my grandson if you don’t arrest me today!”

Leng Gang was shocked by Dong Xuebing’s reaction. “You dare to scold me?”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “You said so much to push the blame onto us. Go on. Arrest us! Hurry up!” He was good at arguing. “Hurry. Why are you standing there? Do you want to be my grandson?”

Leng Gang and his officers’ faces turned green.

Arrest him? How are they going to arrest him? He is the County’s Executive Deputy Mayor!

Leng Gang said those things because he wanted Zhen Shui County not to blow this incident up. After all, an Executive County Mayor injuring almost twenty villagers will affect their reputation. He thought Dong Xuebing would be scared, but the latter did not care. He even challenged Leng Gang to arrest him. Leng Gang could not arrest him because he did not want to blow up this incident.

Their County would be implicated if Leng Gang arrested Dong Xuebing.

All the local police station officers kept quiet. They were furious, but they could not do anything.

Zhen Shui County’s people looked at them and knew Leng Gang was not Mayor Dong’s match. Leng Gang has more political wisdom than Dong Xuebing. But Dong Xuebing behaved like a hooligan despite his position.

Meng Rui said. “Mayor Jiang and I are going to settle some issues. Can you handle this incident, Mayor Dong? Can your body take it?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Sure. I am fine.”

“Mayor Jiang.” Meng Rui said. “Let’s go to the County.”

“Ok.” Jiang Fangfang nodded and got into a car with Meng Rui.

Everyone knew Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang would not let this matter rest. They can’t be bothered by a small Police Station Chief, and Leng Gang cannot make decisions. He is not on the same level. Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang are going to the local County to question them. The local villagers surrounded Zhen Shui County’s Mayor, and the police are not doing anything. This warrants an explanation from the County’s top leaders.

Leng Gang saw them leaving, and he got nervous.
