Chapter 1201: It’s the G.o.d of Plagues!
Afternoon.
Fen Zhou City.
Fourth Middle School’s entrance.
Dark clouds gathered above the angry parents. They were shouting and screaming at Xie Huilan and other leaders.
“Compensate us!”
“Are you all going to compensate us?”
“We are going to the Province if you are not paying us!”
“Let’s stop wasting time and barge in!”
“Yes! We will go in to demand an explanation!”
Liao Yiming was furious. He shouted. “The students are having cla.s.ses, and your children are inside. You must think for your children even if you don’t care about others. What would they think if they saw their parents barging into the school? We are handling the incident reported in the news, and we will give everyone an answer!”
“What’s the point of giving us an answer?”
“Yes! The damage had been done!”
“That’s right! The only way to settle this is a compensation package!”
Liao Yiming and other school leaders were frustrated. They turned and looked at Xie Huilan.
Xie Huilan shook her head and did not say anything. Liao Yiming knew the City Government would not compensate these parents.
“They are refusing to compensate us!”
“Stop wasting time with them!”
“Let’s go in and fight for our rights!”
“I don’t believe the authorities will ignore us!”
The parents started shouting and rushed towards the side gate.
The two security guards tried to stop the crowd by holding their batons across their chests. However, they were no match for fifty angry parents.
“Princ.i.p.al!”
“We cannot hold them back!”
The angry parents punched the security guards, and their faces were instantly covered in bruises.
Creak….
Creak….
The metal gate was about to collapse.
All the parents rushed forward, and the situation was out of control.
The bystanders were scared and did not want to get involved. They quickly step away from them.
Only Dong Xuebing and a few people remained. He was mad at these parents and their unreasonable demands. He looked at them, but he was not going to interfere. He was no longer a Fen Zhou City leader and did not have the authority to stop them.
“Mayor Xie!”
“Get back! Hurry!”
Liao Yiming and the Fourth Middle School’s Princ.i.p.al said.
Xie Huilan remained calm as she said to the parents. “Look at you all. Your children are looking at you all from their cla.s.ses.” She pointed behind her. All windows were opened, and the students were looking at them. “What are you all trying to show to your children? Calm down. We will give you all an answer, but you all got to wait until the investigation is over.”
Many parents stopped and looked towards the school building.
Liao Yiming quickly added. “That’s right. Go back first. We will investigate this incident as soon as possible.”
A thuggish-looking man in his thirties stepped forward and shouted. “They are trying to delay us!”
Another man shouted. “Let’s rush in! They will compensate us after this incident is blown up!”
Another man said. “Didn’t you all see? The police are waiting at the traffic junction. They don’t dare to do anything to us because they are scared!”
“Let’s get into the school!”
“We will go in and demand an explanation!”
The crowd got agitated again because of those few men.
Dong Xuebing looked at those hooligans in the crowd. They should not be parents from their age. They were here to stir up the crowd. Maybe they were called here by a parent to create trouble.
Stirring up the crowd and adding fuel to the fire?
This seemed to be planned.
Dong Xuebing remembered their faces.
The two security guards could not hold back the parents and stumbled.
The parents rushed into the school immediately.
The few police cars at the junction saw what had happened, and the police officers rushed over. Xie Huilan had instructed them not to do anything unless things got out of hand.
“Stop!”
“What are you all doing?”
“You are disturbing the peace.”
There were too many parents, and the police could not stop them. The parents felt the law would not punish so many people and ignored the police. All of them entered the school compound through the side gate.
Fifty people….
They entered the school and surrounded Xie Huilan, Liao Yiming, and the school leaders.
“This school should be closed down!”
“How do you all select your teachers?”
“How can you all let us send our children to school with such teachers?”
“Are you all going to compensate us? We are not leaving until we receive our compensation!”
That thuggish-looking man started shouting and inciting the crowd.
Although Liao Yiming and Fourth Middle School’s Princ.i.p.al knew the crowd did not dare to hit them, they still stood before Xie Huilan. “Protect Mayor Xie!”
Mayor Xie is pregnant!
They cannot let anything happen to her and her unborn child.
But Xie Huilan remained calm. She said to the Fourth Middle School’s Princ.i.p.al. “Tell the teachers to look after the students. Don’t let anyone come out.”
The Fourth Middle School’s Princ.i.p.al hesitated and made a call.
The parents blocked the police officers outside, and they were anxious.
“Mayor Xie!”
“Chief Liao!”
“Get out of there!”
But the people inside could not get out of the school, and the police could not get in.
The situation had gotten out of hand. The City Government staff and Education Bureau people were panicking. They knew this would not end well.
What should they do?
Pay them? That is impossible.
But how are they going to stop these people?
If it continues, the Provincial TV station might report this incident in the evening, and Fen Zhou City’s leaders would be dragged into it.
However, no one has a solution.
Even the police cannot stop them.
A police officer shouted into his radio. “Requesting backup! The situation here has escalated! I repeat! We need backup!”
“Roger.”
“Hurry up! Mayor Xie is surrounded!”
“Hang on! We are sending backup now!”
“There are about fifty people here! Try to send more people!”
Everything happened fast, and the situation in the school became dangerous.
Dong Xuebing saw what happened. He did not want to interfere, but Xie Huilan was surrounded. He could not see her, and he could not sit still anymore. She is pregnant, and a fall might cause a miscarriage. As her husband and father of her unborn child, he was furious.
F**k!
I don’t care if you all are demanding money!
I don’t care if you all behave like thugs!
But you all had surrounded my wife! F**k! You all are seeking your death!
Dong Xuebing started walking toward the school with a limp. He did not say a word and walked into the crowd.
One step….
Three steps….
Five steps….
The police officers were outside the crowd, trying to get in.
One officer saw someone approaching and said. “Please leave this place!”
Dong Xuebing ignored him and continued towards the crowd.
A few officers heard and turned. They were about to scold Dong Xuebing when they saw his face. They immediately froze.
“Ah!”
“You….”
“Dong… dong….”
The police officers recognized Dong Xuebing.
All of them inhaled deeply, and a few stepped back from him.
Dong Xuebing continued walking.
A few parents noticed the changes behind them. They wondered why the police officers became quiet suddenly, and they looked back.
They almost fainted when they saw the person behind them.
“Huh?”
“Dong….”
No one dares to say his name.
These parents had seen Dong Xuebing on TV more than once and heard many stories about him. They froze and quickly got out of his way, making a path for him.
In front.
A few other parents in front saw Dong Xuebing. They froze, and their expressions changed from anger to panic. All of them quickly step away from him.
Ten people….
Twenty people….
Thirty people….
The chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.
Those hooligans, who had incited the crowd, almost vomited blood when they saw Dong Xuebing.
All of them shut up after they saw Dong Xuebing.
The parents thought to themselves. Why is this person here?
The G.o.d of Plagues!
The G.o.d of Plagues is back!
