Chapter 1380: Hung up a Deputy City Mayor"s phone call.


Afternoon.


Cheng Gang County.


In the hospital corridor, after finis.h.i.+ng a call, Dong Xuebing coldly stashed his phone into his pocket. He greeted a nurse, asking her to take good care of Huilan. Turning around, Dong Xuebing was about to go downstairs. As he walked, he replayed all the events in his mind. In an instant, he pondered over many things. He had to handle the situation, and various methods were available. However, he considered them too mild. Those were the tactics used for resolving common conflicts. This time was different. The selfish and despicable Cheng Gang County leaders had almost killed his wife and child. He didn"t plan to use the usual tricks involving no real consequences. How could he let Cheng Gang County Leaders off the hook so quickly? They had to pay the price, a b.l.o.o.d.y price.


As for the consequences…


To h.e.l.l with the consequences!


Cheng Gang County arranged the incident where villagers surrounded and spat on Mayor Jiang Fangfang. Now, Huilan and his child were almost killed by several people from Cheng Gang County.


Cheng Gang County…


Dong Xuebing had reached his limit.


Now, not even the heavens could stop him!


Just as he was about to descend the stairs, a staff member from the Fenzhou City Education system, holding a mobile phone, rushed up, panting. When he saw Dong Xuebing, he hurriedly said, "Mayor Dong, it"s a call from Mei He City. Director Liao asked me to transfer it to you." After that, he said, "Mayor Hua, let me pa.s.s the phone to Mayor Dong."


City Mayor Hua…


Hua Li, Mei He City Deputy Mayor.


Although he hadn"t entered the City Party Committee, he was in charge of education and investment promotion as the Deputy Mayor. Dong Xuebing hadn"t met him before, but he had some understanding of the leaders in their city. Though he wasn"t clear about the intricacies of the relations.h.i.+ps, he could at least call out names and positions. Since he was the Deputy Mayor in charge of education, it was inevitable that Huilan had coordinated with Hua Li when she came to research. Now that something had happened to her in Cheng Gang County, Dong Xuebing wasn"t surprised that Hua Li would call Fen Zhou City people.


The person from Fen Zhou City handed over the phone.


Dong Xuebing took it. "h.e.l.lo, Mayor Hua."


Hua Li responded, "You"re Mayor Dong, the husband of Mayor Xie, right? I just heard the news. I was in a meeting and got the information just a while ago. Luckily, Mayor Xie is stable now, and the child is saved. I"m on my way there now."


"Thank you for your concern, Mayor Hua. I want to know how you are going to resolve this matter."


"What do you mean? How to resolve it?"


"My wife didn"t slip."


"Really? Then how did she fall?"


"Li Zhixin and others from Cheng Gang County pushed her down."


Hua Li paused momentarily on the other end and said, "At that time, the wind was strong, and her center of gravity was lost. Mayor Xie, being pregnant, may not have seen the road clearly and tripped. It"s normal. We can"t be sure it was Director Li and others who collided with her. Besides, I heard a sandstorm all around, making it impossible to see anything. Even if Mayor Xie was knocked down, it was an accident. n.o.body could see things clearly in those conditions. Moreover, collisions were inevitable during evacuation, with construction materials falling. It"s an unforeseeable accident. I will urge them to investigate the cause of the incident thoroughly."


Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing"s tone also became more serious. "Make it clear, Mayor Hua. I"m not talking about a collision. I"m talking about a push. People from Cheng Gang County pushed my wife."


"How do you know?"


"Huilan told me herself."


"With such low visibility at the time, Mayor Xie probably didn"t see clearly," Hua Li directly denied Xie Huilan"s testimony.


Dong Xuebing also sensed Hua Li"s att.i.tude, and his anger surged. "How do you know my wife didn"t see clearly? Even if the visibility was low, my wife is not blind. Whether she was pushed or collided with, she can distinguish. Moreover, the Fen Zhou City officials were watching from a distance. Every one of them is a witness. The posture of being knocked down and being pushed down is completely different. Even if, for the sake of argument, my wife was knocked down by them, this matter is not over. It"s not as trivial as you put it. The people from Cheng Gang County not only abandoned a vulnerable pregnant woman but also knocked down my wife, leaving her behind. At the same time, they only cared about saving themselves. What kind of officials are they? What kind of party members are they?"


"Mayor Dong, I understand your feelings."


"I don"t need your understanding. I want an explanation," Dong Xuebing said with lingering anger.


When a Deputy County Mayor talked to him like this, Hua Li became impatient. "It"s just an accident. Mayor Xie is fine now, isn"t she?"


"What do you mean by ‘fine"? She has multiple abrasions on her body, and the child almost didn"t make it. We don"t even know if there will be any after-effects in the future. This is not ‘fine." What do you mean by ‘nothing happened"? A mere accident almost resulted in the loss of two lives. How can you casually pa.s.s it off with your words."


Hua Li said coldly, "I understand your emotions, Mayor Dong, but getting angry like this won"t help."


Dong Xuebing angrily retorted, "I do not lose my temper easily. If the construction materials fell on my wife"s head and she fell while trying to dodge, I wouldn"t say anything. That would be her fault. But at the time, the falling objects didn"t hit my wife at all. Instead, they fell on the people from Cheng Gang County. Even though they had reached a safe place, they still didn"t feel rea.s.sured and continued running. They even pushed my wife down. I want to ask those people from Cheng Gang County, by what right do they report that my wife slipped? What evidence do you have to declare it an accident and absolve the responsibility of Cheng Gang County"s leaders.h.i.+p? Were you at the scene? Were you there?"


Hua Li was also annoyed, "Then go find evidence."


"I don"t need you to tell me. I will find it myself." If it were a normal situation, Dong Xuebing would undoubtedly show his respect to a Deputy City Mayor, considering him a superior. However, today"s Dong Xuebing wasn"t giving anyone face. He could sense from Deputy City Mayor Hua"s tone and att.i.tude that he had a good relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Gang County. Maybe he had a good relations.h.i.+p with Li Zhixin, the Cheng Gang County Mayor. From start to finish, he was trying to defend Chenggang County.


Dong Xuebing couldn"t take it anymore and hung up the phone. Hua Li had never encountered such an insubordinate leader. He was furious.


On the other hand, the person from Fen Zhou City next to them wasn"t surprised. Hanging up on a leader"s call? This was nothing. Cursing at leaders, even fighting with leaders, was something they had all experienced.
