Chapter 1204: The God of Plagues!
Evenings.
Lu An City.
The sun is setting.
A Porsche was traveling down the highway, attracting stares from other drivers. This car cost over 3 million RMB, and its registration plate is Beijing 9999.
Inside the car. Xie Huilan was driving the car, and Dong Xuebing’s phone rang nonstop.
“Hello, Director Dong… Sorry. It should be Mayor Dong.”
“Old Chen. Haha…. how are you?”
“Thanks for asking. I am fine.”
“What is it? Do you need me for anything?”
“No, I heard you are back and injured.”
“It’s nothing. Let’s chat over dinner another day.”
“Sure. Let me know when you are free. Your former subordinates will treat you to dinner.”
Dong Xuebing’s phone rang again after hanging up. It is Luo Haiting. She had taken over Dong Xuebing’s position as the City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection, First Office Director.
“Haha… Sister Luo.”
“How are you, Director?”
“I am fine. I heard you had been outstanding recently.”
“No… Haha… It’s all because of you.”
“We have not met for a while. Let’s have dinner with the rest.”
“Ok. We have been waiting for you. Oh, how long are you staying?”
“I am on medical leave and should be here for at least ten days to two weeks. I will not leave soon, and we will have time to catch up.”
“Great. I was afraid you might leave before we meet.”
“Sure. Let me know again.”
“I know you are busy, and I shall not disturb you.”
Dong Xuebing drank water after hanging up, and his phone rang again.
This time it is Geng Yuehua’s younger brother, Geng Xinke. “Hello, Mayor Dong. I heard you are back.”
Dong Xuebing smiled and replied. “I am back for a few hours. How did everyone know about it?”
Geng Xinke laughed. “It will be weird if we don’t know you are back. You went to the Fourth Middle School once you came back. I heard you scare off over a hundred parents without saying a word.”
Dong Xuebing was speechless. “The rumor is exaggerated. How did it become more than a hundred of them?”
“Even if it is not a hundred, it should be at least fifty.”
“Yes. It is around fifty.”
“This incident had blown up. Haha… Only you have this aura in Fen Zhou City. No one else can do this. I knew it was you before anyone mentioned your name.”
“Are you teasing me?”
“No… I don’t dare.”
“How is your sister’s health?”
“She is fine. We bought a few wild ginseng, and she did not relapse. Thank you.”
“You have to ensure she takes Ginseng for a few more years. Let me know if you need help.”
Three phone calls…
Five phone calls…
Ten phone calls…
The calls ended when Dong Xuebing’s phone battery was about to die. He was exhausted and felt giddy.
“Are you done?” Xie Huilan asked while driving.
“Yes.” Dong Xuebing held a bottle of mineral water.
Xie Huilan smiled. “You are busier than me.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I had not been back for a while and am injured. Everyone is concerned, but I will be busy in the next few days.”
“You can don’t meet some of them.”
“You should know I will not reject them.”
“Take care of yourself first. I think your injuries are not serious enough.”
“Look at you. Why are you getting angry again? Didn’t I apologize to you for that incident?”
Xie Huilan smiled and looked at him. “Fine. I will forgive you if you kiss me. Haha….”
“We are in public. Why are you doing this to me?”
“Are you going to kiss me or not?”
“Kiss… I will kiss you now.”
Dong Xuebing was speechless and leaned forward to kiss her lips.
Xie Huilan laughed and continued driving.
Dong Xuebing felt blessed and held her hand. His wife is still the best.
Family quarters.
Inside Old Yang’s apartment.
Knock, knock… the door opened.
Lui An City, Mayor Yang Zhaode stood there and smiled. “Xiao Bing, Huilan. Come in.”
“Uncle Yang.” Dong Xuebing greeted.
Yang Zhaode looked at Dong Xuebing. “Ah, how did you hurt yourself so badly?”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “I am fine. You should know how tough I am.”
Yao Zhaode laughed. “Come in. Your mother has been waiting for you all.”
Dong Xuebing saw Luan Xiaoping, and she was sitting at the dining table. She looked mad and was ignoring him.
Yang Zhaode smiled. “She was angry for a few days. She is worried.”
Dong Xuebing quickly went over and smiled. “Mum, I am here.”
Luan Xiaoping turned away and ignored him.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Ah, Mum. Why are you still angry with me? It was not on purpose. The City refused to return our funds, and I had to do this. You should know how tough I am. Even an air crash cannot kill me. I will not die from a few meters.”
Luan Xiaoping finally opens her mouth. “You are not taking your life seriously.”
“I am sorry, Mum. I will not do it again.”
“You say this every time, and you will still do it. I cannot be bothered with you.”
“Huilan is around. Don’t scold me before her, or she will make fun of me when we return. Don’t be angry, Mum.”
Luan Xiaoping cooled down after a while. “Where are you hurt?”
Dong Xuebing pretended to be in pain. “My whole body hurts. Ah….”
Luan Xiaoping gave her son a stare. “I hope you have learned your lesson. Don’t do it again. Show me your injuries.”
“Don’t touch… Ah, it’s painful.”
“Let Mum massage you.”
“Don’t… I broke my bones and cannot move.”
“So serious? Take off your shirt and show me.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Don’t listen to him, Mum. He is fine. He insisted on driving earlier.”
Dong Xuebing gave her a stare for exposing him.
Luan Xiaoping laughed and smacked Dong Xuebing’s head. “You brat.”
Dong Xuebing said. “Let’s eat. I am starving. I have not eaten your food for so long and have been thinking about it on my way here. My tummy had been croaking.”
“Croaking? Are you a toad?”
“Haha… It’s an analogy.”
“Go and wash your hands. Yunxuan is coming with Qianqian. We will start when they are here.”
“Aunt Xuan and Qianqian are coming?”
Dong Xuebing was excited. He missed Yunxuan and his daughter. But Huilan is around, and he does not dare to show it. Huilan and Yunxuan had gotten closer, and the former was Qianqian’s godmother. He got to watch his words.
A while later.
The four of them chatted in the living room.
Dong Xuebing did not join in. He excitedly knelt in from Huilan and placed his ear against her tummy.
“Ah, the baby is kicking me again.”
“Haha, this kid likes to kick.”
“The kicks are strong. I think he should be a boy.”
Xie Huilan smiled and stroked Dong Xuebing’s head.
It’s rare for them to gather, and they chatted happily.
Yang Zhaode asked. “Huilan, I heard about your City’s Fourth Middle School. You are in charge of education, right?”
Xie Huilan nodded. “It is settled this afternoon.”
Luan Xiaoping got a fright. “Are you hurt? You must be careful not to get hurt. Stay away from these places next time.”
“I know, Mum. But it is settled.” Xie Huilan replied.
Yang Zhaode looked at her. “Such incidents are difficult to handle.”
Xie Huilan patted Dong Xuebing. “The situation is difficult to handle, but Xiao Bing was there to look for me. He saw I was surrounded and saved me.”
Luan Xiaoping gasped. “Xiao Bing got into a fight again?”
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. “Am I so impulsive?”
“Yes.” Xie Huilan laughed. “But he did not hit anyone. Who doesn’t know him in Fen Zhou City? Those people ran away when he appeared.”
Luan Xiaoping was surprised. “They left immediately?”
Yang Zhaode asked. “They did not attack you all?”
Xie Huilan replied. “Who dares to attack him? Haha… He is someone who survived an air crash, held his breath for more than ten minutes under a frozen river, was trapped under a collapsed building for a week, and beat up dozens of civilians. Who dares to provoke him?”
Luan Xiaoping agreed.
Yao Zhaode laughed.
Dong Xuebing got mad. “You are spoiling my reputation, Huilan. Why don’t you mention my achievements? Who was the one who saved those people during the earthquake? Who saved those children from drowning? Didn’t you see those civilians sending me when I was transferred? This is the affirmation of the things I did.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “No matter how popular you are, you are notorious. Why did those parents run away when they saw you? Even I, the Deputy City Mayor, cannot make them leave.”
The situation in the afternoon was shocking.
Dong Xuebing stood there without saying a word, and the crowd became quiet.
This is the power of the God of Plagues.
