Chapter 1302: Settled
Before noon.
Beijing suburbs.
The City Party Committee family quarters.
No. 1 villa. Dong Xuebing chatted with Han Jing in the living room and wanted to smoke. He did not smoke in front of her and excused himself. He left the villa and lit a cigarette on a bench in the front yard. Today’s incident was a big deal. But Han Jing came, and it should be settled. Dong Xuebing felt good after beating up w.a.n.g Shen for Xu Yan.
Ring… ring… ring…
Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing saw it was Tan Limei, and he answered.
“h.e.l.lo, Tan Zi.”
“Xuebing, did you leave?”
“Yes. I am at my Mum’s place.”
“How can you hide this from us? No wonder Secretary Xie asked you to sit with him when you were at the Western Branch. I shall not ask more, but you become famous today. Everyone in the bureau is talking about you. Many leaders from other branches came for today’s meeting. I think the whole Beijing State Security Bureau will know your name after today. Barged into the City Bureau, beat up many people, and left like this. Even Chief Jiang cannot do anything to you… you are amazing.” Tan Limei knows Dong Xuebing has backing, but she did not expect his backing to be so powerful.
Secretary Xie’s son-in-law.
Who can imagine this?
“Sigh… I caused a big fuss today.”
“Oh, w.a.n.g Shen’s medical report is out.”
“Oh, how do you know? How is his injury?”
“Someone visited him at the hospital, and I overheard the hospital’s initial findings was multiple fractures on his jaws, ribs, and legs. Ah, he also has a concussion.”
“He deserves it.”
“How did he offend you?”
“He offended someone else. I don’t want to talk about it. Ah, how is the situation at the City Bureau?”
“Everyone dispersed. They returned to work or went to their meetings. It should be fine now.”
“Ok. Thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me? I did not do anything to help.”
“You helped a lot. I will treat you and Zhuang Zi to dinner another day.”
“Sure. It’s settled. We will order a lot. Hahaha…”
“No problem. I got something on here. Let’s hang up. I will contact you again.”
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and called Xu Yan. He left with Han Jing and does not know what happened to her afterward.
Ring… ring… ring…
Dong Xuebing said. “h.e.l.lo, Sister Xu? I am Xiao Dong.” He was cautious as Xu Yan was mad with him earlier. She had never been so angry before. Today was the first time he saw her so mad.
“Yes?”
“Where are you?”
“I am driving.”
“Oh, are injuries better?”
“I feel much better. I am on the highway. It’s not good to drive and use the phone.”
“Ok. Drive safe.”
“Yes. Let’s talk later tonight. I will look for you at night.” Xu Yan paused and said. “Minister Lui got someone to contact me. He wants to have lunch with me.”
Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Why is Minister Lui looking for you?”
“I don’t know. I am on my way to meet him.”
“All right. Let’s meet at night. I will wait for you at home.”
“Ok. I have lots to say to you. I will tell you later.”
Dong Xuebing relaxed after hanging up. He knows Sister Xu is not angry with him, or she would not meet him at night. He continued smoking and tapped on the bench’s armrest.
A car’s engine roared.
An Audi entered the villa.
It was an Audi A8, and it was parked in the garage not far from Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and looked at the number plate. Eh, it is the Audi he bought for Xie Jing. Why is Xiao Jing here?
Dong Xuebing walked over.
The door opened, and Xie Hao got out. He saw Dong Xuebing and ran over to hug him. “My brother-in-law! My idol! I heard you went crazy again. Hurry… tell me what happened. I like to hear these stories.” He was still in his school uniform.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Why are you not in school?”
“I was. But it is lunch break now.” Xie Hao replied.
“How did you know about today’s incident?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Xie Hao laughed. “I called my father earlier, and he was grumbling. I heard it and rushed over to see you.”
Dong Xuebing glanced at him. “Why are you trying to get involved?”
Xie Jing got out of her car and walked over. She smiled. “Brother-in-law.”
Dong Xuebing nodded and asked. “Xiao Jing, why are you here?”
Xie Jing stared at Xie Hao and smacked the back of his head. “It’s because of this brat! I was at work, and he called me to tell me something happened in school. He asked me to go over, and I went. I was tricked. This brat could not get a cab and tricked me into going over to give him a ride. I almost beat him up at his school.”
Xie Hao pushed Xie Jing lightly with his elbows. “Enough, Second Sis. Don’t be mad. You are a leader now. You must be gracious and forgiving.”
Xie Jing raised her hand to hit him.
Xie Hao ran and hid behind Dong Xuebing, giggling.
“Brother-in-law! This brat is p.i.s.sing me off.” Xie Jing stared at Xiao Hao. She looked towards the door. “Never mind. It will be lunchtime when I go back. I might as well have lunch here. Aunt will cook lunch when you are around.” She knows Han Jing dotes Dong Xuebing.
Xie Hao shouted shamelessly. “You should thank me. How can you eat Aunt’s food if I did not drag you here?”
“Do you believe I would beat you up now?”
“Hehe… go ahead. Come on.”
“You brat. Stop running.”
Xie Hao and Xie Jing fooled around for a while.
Dong Xuebing smiled as he looked at them. They bicker whenever they meet. He likes this feeling.
Suddenly, the villa door opened.
Han Jing walked out with a smile. “I can hear you two bickering in the kitchen. Why are you here?”
Xie Jing turned demure immediately. She stopped chasing Xie Hao and said. “Xiao Hao tricked me into driving him here. He needs a beating.”
“It’s because you got a car.” Xie Hao argued.
Xie Jing stared at him. “How dare you talk back at me?”
Han Jing laughed. “Come in. Haha… Lunch is almost ready. I prepared a lot. Let’s eat together.”
“Yes! I love Aunt’s cooking.” Xie Hao ran into the villa. “Where is it? I want to taste it now. I am starving.”
Xie Jing smacked her lips. “You only know how to eat.”
Han Jing and Dong Xuebing smiled as they entered the villa.
Lunch.
Xie Jing and Xie Hao helped Han Jing bring out the food.
Dong Xuebing wanted to help, but he was injured. They do not allow him to help.
Xie Jing looked at the food on the table and laughed. “Aunt, did you know Xiao Hao and I are coming? You prepared so much food.”
Han Jing laughed and joked. “I can predict the future. Haha.”
Everyone knows Han Jing did not know they were coming. She prepared all the food for Dong Xuebing. Two dishes are enough for two people, but she made seven dishes. This shows how much she doted on her son-in-law.
During lunch.
Xie Hao ate a lot, but he did not stop talking. “Brother-in-law, tell me how you create havoc at the City State Security.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “What creates havoc there? Eat your lunch.”
Xie Hao puts down his chopsticks. “You beat up over a dozen people with your injuries, and over a hundred State Security staff don’t dare to stop you. How can this not create havoc? Wow… I got excited thinking about it. One vs. over a hundred people. My father told me you even scolded their Bureau Chief and almost beat him. This is f**king unbelievable.”
Han Jing knocked Xie Hao’s head with her chopsticks. “Stop cursing.”
Xie Hao giggled. “I was too excited, Aunt.”
Han Jing laughed. “Eat more and study hard to get into a good school. Don’t learn from your Brother-in-law.”
Xie Hao replied. “I wanted to learn, but it’s impossible. Where can you find another person who is as good as Brother-in-law? Most people fought against one or two people, and good fighters fought against five or six at most. My Brother-in-law can fight against dozens of people without breaking a sweat. Even if I trained my whole life, I cannot reach his level.”
Xie Jing laughed. “Brother-in-law is extraordinary. No one can compare to him.”
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Stop flattering me. Mum just scolded me for what happened. This incident happened because that guy picked a fight with me, or I would not go there to beat him up. So, stop praising me, and don"t tell Huilan. This is nothing to be proud of.”
Xie Hao thought nothing about it. “What’s there to hide? Just beat them up if you are unhappy. Who cares about the consequences? Beat him up first.”
“You ah…”
“Haha…”
