Chapter 1563: Wife is mad
In the hall, airport staff gathered around. But as soon as Secretary Xie spoke, the previously chaotic atmosphere seemed to enter a vacuum, and the voices suddenly quieted down, leaving complete silence.
"What?"
"What did you say, Secretary Xie?"
Xu Xianglin and Deputy Chief Zhou, among others, were all caught off guard. And many others felt the same, thinking they might have misheard.
Secretary Xie pointed to Dong Xuebing, who had stood up. "Didn"t you call me to come and pick up my husband? I"m here. Speak up."
"What?"
"Your husband?"
Everyone realized they hadn"t misheard.
The revelation almost floored Xu Xianglin and his son. Zheng Fei and Deputy Chief Zhou were equally shocked, almost spitting blood.
The surrounding airport staff were also dumbfounded. Each person was dumbfounded. How could it be possible? That youth just now looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a bad temperament and an ordinary appearance, seemingly lacking remarkable qualities. But Secretary Xie, in her thirties, was the City party secretary, with a standard figure and an astonis.h.i.+ngly beautiful face, exuding a calm demeanor and a mature personal charm and presence. How could these two possibly be husband and wife? Upon hearing this shocking revelation, many people felt their worldviews had collapsed instantly.
Dong Xuebing walked over. Even the police officers controlling him were dumbfounded and dared not move.
Secretary Xie glanced at him and nodded slightly. "Are you fine?"
Dong Xuebing smiled. "It"s nothing. I didn"t hurt anyone."
Secretary Xie nodded slightly. "That"s good."
If it were an ordinary person in this situation, hearing someone ask about their husband would naturally a.s.sume they were asking if their husband was injured or if something had happened. But Dong Xuebing knew his wife wouldn"t be asking about that because Xie Huilan was aware of Dong Xuebing"s combat capabilities. It wasn"t possible for Dong Xuebing to be injured in such a minor incident. After surviving being buried for so many days after the earthquake and still being able to return to work as if nothing had happened, Dong Xuebing"s combat and resilience had been tested many times.
Injured? At a loss? It was impossible.
Those who knew Dong Xuebing knew that he was always dis.h.i.+ng it out, never taking it. It had never happened before, and it would never happen in the future.
Xu Xianglin was dumbfounded, his sweat dripping incessantly. Deputy Chief Zhou was also wiping his sweat continuously. They only remembered that Dong Xuebing had given them the number, which turned out to be that of the city party secretary. Xu Xianglin and Deputy Chief Zhou had directly contacted the secretary, and not only that, but they had also spoken rudely to her, even scolding her before hanging up. Thinking about this, Xu Xianglin and Deputy Chief Zhou felt like jumping off a building out of regret, their guts turning green.
d.a.m.n it.
Dong Xuebing, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Why didn"t you tell us earlier that your wife is the new City party secretary?
Xu Xianglin wished he could strangle Dong Xuebing to death. Only now did he remember Dong Xuebing"s strange look when he had asked for his wife"s number earlier. Xu Xianglin wanted to kill him.
Unethical.
You"re d.a.m.n unethical.
Are you trying to ruin us to death?
This is too d.a.m.n unethical.
Zheng Fei was also trembling with fear on the side. He initially thought that the arrival of the City party secretary had nothing to do with him, but now that he realized the person he had just clashed with was the secretary"s husband, Zheng Fei"s face turned pale, and he felt an icy chill in his heart.
Oh no.
This isn"t good.
Zheng Fei almost wanted to curse Dong Xuebing loudly, feeling that this person was too cunning. If you"re the husband of the City party secretary, why didn"t you say so earlier? Just mentioning it would have made it clear. Zheng Fei and the others weren"t fools; they could have figured out that Dong Xuebing had some background. If they had investigated further, Zheng Fei wouldn"t have dared to confront him. He would have avoided it. Who would have thought that this guy named Dong Xuebing had the demeanor of a commoner, freely hurling insults without showing any signs of having a background or status? As a result, Zheng Fei was caught off guard by him. He believed that Dong Xuebing was deliberately trying to harm him, deliberately putting him in a difficult situation.
A City party secretary.
A leader of the Agricultural Bureau.
The difference between them was too great.
Zheng Fei could still hold his own in front of Xu Xianglin and the others; in their eyes, he was considered a cadre with some real power. He also knew many leaders in the city. However, compared to the city"s top leader, he knew he didn"t count for anything. Zheng Fei didn"t even dare to confront the City party secretary. After watching for so long, had Zheng Fei not dared to say a word? His legs were trembling slightly.
The airport staff knew that Director Xu and several other leaders had hit a brick wall, and they anxiously looked toward Secretary Xie and the others.
No one spoke.
There was a feeling of complete silence.
Secretary Xie didn"t ask Dong Xuebing what had happened, how it had happened, or how the conflict occurred. She squinted lightly at Xu Xianglin and the others and said, "I heard the voice; you called me. Okay, I"m here now. How do we handle this dispute? And let me make it clear first: I"m here as a family member and am not involved in anything else. Whatever needs to be done about this matter, let"s do it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xianglin almost cursed. Of course, he wouldn"t believe Secretary Xie"s words. How could it be possible to handle it, as she said? She"s standing right in front of me. Would I dare to detain her husband? Even if I had the courage of a lion, I wouldn"t dare to do so. Do I still want to live?
"No, no," Xu Xianglin hurriedly said, "This may be a misunderstanding."
Deputy Chief Zhou hurriedly added, "Yes, it"s a misunderstanding."
Now it was Zheng Fei"s turn to be in a bind. Seeing the situation, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Actually, it"s nothing. It"s just a minor friction. It"s mainly my fault. I"m sorry."
Secretary Xie slowly said, "My husband didn"t hit anyone."
Zheng Fei wiped his sweat and said, "No, it"s just a little physical contact."
"So, it means nothing," Secretary Xie asked again.
Deputy Chief Zhou immediately said, "Yes, it"s already resolved. No, it was never a problem."
Secretary Xie nodded, and suddenly, her smiling crescent-shaped eyes turned cold. "Alright, since there was nothing, why did you try to restrain my husband? Give me an explanation."
Um.
A few of them were suddenly speechless.
The City party secretary was furious.
