Power and Wealth

The Fourth Middle School.

The noisy and chaotic school entrance suddenly becomes quiet.

Many people were stunned when they saw Dong Xuebing, and some did not know what happened or recognized him.

“Huh? What happened?”

“Ah? What is going on?”

“Why is everyone keeping quiet?”

“What’s wrong, Old Liu, Old Wang?”

“Eh, I am asking you. Why are you keeping quiet?”

Old Liu and Old Wang almost hit the man who called them. Just shut up! Didn’t you see who came?

The rest stopped shouting after a portion of them became quiet.

No one dares to say a word loudly in the school compound.

A parent asked the person beside him softly. “What happened? Why are they looking at that young man?”

“That’s right. What is going on?” Another man asked.

That man looked at them weirdly. “You don’t know him?”

That parent asked curiously. “Know him? Who is he?”

“He is Dong Xuebing, Director Dong. He was transferred away recently.”

“Director Dong? What? He is that, Director Dong?”

“Who else? Didn’t you see no one dare to make any sound?”

Those parents immediately kept their mouths shut and looked at Dong Xuebing. They might not recognize Dong Xuebing, but they had heard of the God of Plagues. Almost everyone in Fen Zhou City has heard of him. He worked in Fen Zhou City for a few years and had many amazing feats. It is impossible for the residents there not to know him. He is a legend.

“Why is he here?”

“Shit! We are in trouble!”

“What should we do next?”

“How are we going to ask for money now?”

The parents started whispering among themselves. Although they were grumbling, no one dared to do anything. They quickly opened up a path for Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing walked towards the center slowly.

They surrounded Xie Huilan, and the rest saw Dong Xuebing.

Xie Huilan glanced at Dong Xuebing and giggled. “You are back.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and replied gently. “I just got off the plane.”

Liao Yiming was relieved. “Director Dong.”

“Chief Liao.” Dong Xuebing nodded.

The Education Bureau staff and the Fourth Middle School’s Principal were relieved and greeted him. “Mayor Dong.”

“Ah, you are injured.”

“Oh, is it a fracture?”

“I am fine. It’s just some minor injuries.”

Liao Yiming and the rest were excited when they saw Dong Xuebing. They knew the situation would be in their favor with him around.

They exchanged some pleasantries, and Dong Xuebing asked Xie Huilan. “Are you hurt?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “I am not weak. Haha…. I am fine.”

Ddxb was relieved, and he turned to Liao Yiming and the rest. “I am transferred away and should not be interfering. But I will give you all a hand.”

Liao Yiming agreed immediately. “Thank you, Mayor Dong.”

The Fourth Middle School’s Principal added. “Please help us, Mayor Dong. We….”

Dong Xuebing looked at Xie Huilan again.

Xie Huilan nodded. “Be careful not to go overboard.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I understand.”

Dong Xuebing turned and walked towards those parents. Those parents immediately stepped back and looked at him cautiously. He did not say anything and stood there. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He looked up at those parents and smoked slowly.

Five seconds….

Ten seconds….

One minute….

Although Dong Xuebing was transferred away for over a month, his presence was enough to deter them.

The parents exchanged looks.

“What should we do?”

“Say something.”

“Sigh…. I am going back.”

“Err…. Let’s go back first.”

“Director Dong is here. We… we should leave.”

The rowdy parents calmed immediately and felt uneasy.

Dong Xuebing….

Director Dong….

His name alone was enough to scare these people.

Who dares to go against the God of Plagues? Is it worth going against him for a few thousand RMB?

None of them are stupid, and they could weigh the pros and cons.

“Let’s go….”

“Yes. Let’s talk about it another time.”

“Talk about it? I am not coming again.”

“Director Dong is back. How come no one said a thing?”

“Luckily, we did not attack them, or else….”

“Be quiet, and let’s leave quickly.”

The crowd dispersed, and those parents started walking out of the school.

The police officers were speechless. Those parents ignored them despite being armed, and Dong Xuebing could make them leave with one look.

What is this?

This is the difference between Dong Xuebing and the local authorities.

However, Dong Xuebing did not plan to let them go. “Wait!”

The crowd stopped and turned to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing walked forward and pointed to a few people with his chin. “You…. Yes…. You with the long hair, and you…. The one with the dyed hair. You and you stay!”

Dong Xuebing asked four men to remain.

They were the ones who incited the crowd.

The rest of the parents quickly leave the school.

These four men were in a group. They were sweating after being called out by Dong Xuebing.

The leader’s legs went soft, and stood there.

The other three men exchanged looks and tried to bend in with the crowd. They walked quickly towards the gates. One of them even started running.

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Run? Go ahead.”

Those three men froze. They hesitated for a second and returned with their heads bowed.

The leader wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood before Dong Xuebing. “We… We….”

Dong Xuebing looked at them. “Do you all know me?”

“Yes… Yes….” That man replied. “You… you are Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing calmly said. “I had watched you all for a while. You all had been having fun, right?”

“No… no….” They panicked.

“You all should know why I stopped you.”

“Yes… yes….”

“Good. Since you all know me, you should know my temper.”

“No… please….” That man was shaking. “Please let us off. We were asked to join in. Many parents paid us to incite the crowd. We have nothing to do with this.”

Dong Xuebing looked at them. “Tell it to the police.”

That man pleaded. “Please… please let us off, Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “This is not about whether I will let you all off. I am not from Public Security. Save your breath for the police.”

“Director Dong….”

“Please don’t, Director Dong.”

The police officers heard Dong Xuebing and quickly arrested them.

One minute.

Dong Xuebing settled this incident in one minute.

A few new teachers were stunned. They were confused and wondered who this man was.

This young man stood quietly, and the police officers went quiet. The rowdy parents left immediately after seeing him.

Those hooligans who tried to escape returned and confessed.

“Teacher Sun, who is this man?” A new teacher asked.

That Teacher Sun looked at him and said softly. “You are new and don’t know the situation. He is Mayor Xie’s husband.”

“Ah? Mayor Xie’s husband is so young.”

“Yes. He was a leader in our Fen Zhou City Commission for Discipline Inspection.”

“But…. those people were not afraid of Mayor Xie, and those police officers could not stop them. Why did they run away when Mayor Xie’s husband appeared?”

That’s right.

Even Mayor Xie could not scare them.

Why are they so afraid of Mayor Xie’s husband?

Teacher Sun replied. “Director Dong is different. Many incidents have happened in the past. Never mind. You all will not understand.” He lowered his voice. “People might dare to offend Mayor Xie in Fen Zhou City, but no one dares to go against her husband.”

“Why?”

“Huh? How is this possible?”

“I overheard them calling him Mayor Dong. He should be a Deputy Mayor or a County Mayor. His rank is not as high as Mayor Xie.”

Teacher Sun said. “It is not about their ranks. Mayor Xie and other City leaders are reasonable, but Director Dong does not care about reasons or consequences.”

“Huh?”

“And….”

“And what?”

“No one dares to go against Mayor Dong because of his combat abilities.”

“He is skilled? But he seemed to be injured. He is limping. I think he fractured his legs.”

Teacher Sun was speechless. “What do you all know? Those fifty people are not his match even if his leg is fractured.”

“Ah?”

“Are you serious?”

“But he will not dare to hit them. It will have a negative impact.”

Teacher Sun looked at the new teachers. “Director Dong had beaten up civilians more than once. That’s why everyone fears him and leaves immediately. Some people might not know the City Party Secretary’s name, but everyone knows who Dong Xuebing is.”
