Power and Wealth

Next day.

Morning. Dong Xuebing's apartment.

Dong Xuebing was on his way to his car when he received a call from Xie Huilan. He entered his Porsche and answered the call.

"Huilan, what is it?" Dong Xuebing asked.

"The Investigation Team said Yunxuan had made a false report?!"

"Yes. That's what they say."

"Alright. Leave this to me. I will be back in five days."

"Huilan, I can settle this on my own. I don't want to trouble you."

"We are a couple, and Yunxuan is my friend."

"I know, but they are too arrogant. I could not take it anymore. Huilan, I must do this my way, this time. Seeing Yunxuan's condition, I can't wait anymore."

"You never listen to me."

"Sorry."

"Don't be sorry. You must be careful."

"Don't worry. You should know my capabilities."

Dong Xuebing was grateful after Huilan agreed to let him get revenge using his way. He knew Huilan was furious, and he did not want her help. After all, he is the father of Yunxuan's daughter. It was his duty to protect her. He is the 'God of Plagues' and is not afraid of anyone. You will pay the price for hitting my Aunt Xuan.

The City Party Committee Building.

Entrance of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Dong Xuebing got out of his car and entered the building.

On his way upstairs, many people were looking at him. They immediately talked among themselves after he passed them. News of that incident had spread.

"Do you know that Qu Yunxuan, who jumped off the building, is Director Dong's cousin?"

"Are you sure? I heard that news anchor is our Deputy City Mayor's distant relative."

"Director Dong and Mayor Xie are a couple, and it did not matter who's relative she is. This incident will blow up."

"I also heard Deputy City Mayor Xie had called the Public Security Bureau to pressure them."

"Director Dong had also gone to the scene. But… that person is Secretary Wan's nephew."

"That's right. Sigh…. The Investigation Team is not treating Mayor Xie and Director Dong seriously. I am sure you all had heard the restaurant's boss had testified Wan Sizhao was not around when the incident happened. The Investigation Team Leader Li Taibo had concluded the investigation, clearing his name. This is quite suspicious."

"Shh…. Don't be so loud."

"That's right. You shouldn't say that out."

"We are the only ones around. What's there to be afraid of? Which Fen Zhou City resident doesn't know about Wan Sizhao?"

"Sigh…. Only Secretary Wan believed his nephew. The things he did…."

"What can we do? Did the Investigation Team investigate those rape cases Wan Sizhao was involved in? I knew someone was helping him when those cases were ruled out due to insufficient evidence."

"This is ridiculous."

"He has a good uncle."

"This time, Director Dong got to suck it in."

Qu Yunxuan's case had ended, and the Investigation Team classified it as a false report. Nothing will happen to Wan Sizhao. Every Fen Zhou City Government staff heard about this incident within a day. They knew the truth, but no one dared to say anything. Wan Sizhao was involved in several similar cases, and many people pitied Qu Yunxuan. More people were watching Dong Xuebing's movements. They want to see what Mayor Xie and Dong Xuebing will do. He will offend Secretary Wan and his supporters if he continues to go after Wan Sizhao without evidence. If he kept quiet, he would lose respect, and Mayor Xie's reputation would be affected.

To everyone's surprise, Dong Xuebing acted normally. He came to work as if nothing had happened yesterday.

What does this mean?

Did Director Dong surrender, or is he planning any actions?

The Commission for Discipline Inspection's leaders knew Dong Xuebing better. If he had given in so quickly and not gotten revenge, he would not be called Dong Xuebing.

But how is Director Dong going to get revenge on Wan Sizhao?

The case ended with concrete evidence. It would not be easy to target Wan Sizhao now. Dong Xuebing might not find anything wrong with his finances. Even if he did, Wan Sizhao would use his connections to get off the hook. The City Commission for Discipline Inspection would not allow him to investigate Wan Sizhao. This is a test for him.

This might be difficult for others, but not for Dong Xuebing. He was only worried if he could take stress and pressure.

Can he take the stress?

Sure!

Dong Xuebing can handle any stress or pressure for Aunt Xuan. He had worked hard to climb to where he is now, and he is not afraid of Secretary Wan and his supporters. He only wanted to return to Wan Sizhao and everyone who helped him.

Is there a way to get all of them?

Dong Xuebing had a plan.

Inspection First Office.

Director Office.

Dong Xuebing called Luo Haiting to his office.

Luo Haiting saw Dong Xuebing's expression when she stepped into the office. "Director, do you have anything for me?" Dong Xuebing knew she had heard about his relationship with Qu Yunxuan from her eyes.

Dong Xuebing looked at Luo Haiting and poured a glass of water for her.

"Let me do it myself." Luo Haiting said politely.

Dong Xuebing said calmly. "Sister Luo, I will be direct since we are alone. I need your help."

Luo Haiting replied. "Just say the word."

"This is not about work. It is my personal matter." Dong Xuebing looked at Luo Haiting. "I want you to invite Investigation Team Leader Li Taibo for lunch at Liu Yang Restaurant."

Luo Haiting was surprised. "Lunch?"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Yes. Set it as today's lunch."

Luo Haiting was puzzled. "No problem. What should I do during lunch?"

"Just have lunch with him. It would be great if it were in a private room upstairs. The upper floors of the restaurant will start operation again today. Oh, try to get the restaurant's boss Xu Dabing to have lunch with you all too."

Luo Haiting knew about these two people. They were the ones who testified for Wan Sizhao. She started to get nervous. "Xuebing, you…."

Dong Xuebing continued slowly. "I want to tell you the reason, but I believe you would not be interested. Don't worry, Sister Luo. This is my personal matter, and I will not implicate you. It's fine if you are uncomfortable. I can get someone else." He had asked Luo Haiting because he trusted her. She is also Inspection First Office's Deputy Director. She would not have problems asking Li Taibo and Xu Dabing out with her rank.

Luo Haiting thought for a while and nodded. "Ok. I will call him."

"Thanks, sister Luo."

"Don't mention it."

"Alright. I got to make a call now. I will contact you around noon."

Luo Haiting knew this was not as simple as having lunch with Li Taibo. She did not ask further and left the office.

Dong Xuebing took out his mobile phone after Sister Luo left and called Wan Sizhao. "Hello, I am Dong Xuebing."

Wan Sizhao was surprised, and he laughed. "What is it, Director Dong?"

Dong Xuebing continued. "I am inviting you to lunch this afternoon."

"Oh?" Wan Sizhao replied. "Are you considering supervising our Xi Ping District's Audit Department's work? You should look for the person in charge of Audit Department Discipline Inspection."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Noon at Liu Yang Restaurant. Are there any problems?"

Wan Sizhao scoffed and did not reply. He wondered what Dong Xuebing was up to.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing continued laughing. "Are you scared?"

Wan Sizhao laughed loudly. "The City Commission for Discipline Inspection's Leader will advise on our work. What's there to be afraid of? See you at noon."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Good."

Wan Sizhao replied. "Bye."

Dong Xuebing knew Wan Sizhao was arrogant after meeting him at the hospital ward, and he knew he would agree to meet him.

Luo Haiting called after Dong Xuebing hung up.

Dong Xuebing asked. "How is it, Sister Luo?"

"I fixed the appointment." Dong Xuebing knew Luo Haiting would not fail him. "When I asked Li Taibo out for lunch, he tried to reject. But I told him I needed his favor to help a friend transfer to the Public Security Bureau, and he agreed."

"Well done."

"Then…. What should I do during lunch?"

"Just have lunch with Li Taibo, and get Xu Dabing to join in for drinks. Leave the rest to me, and wait for my call."

"Alright."

"Thank you."

"You are my leader and my friend. I will surely help you."

Wan Sizhao, Li Taibo, and Xu Dabing….

The ones who are involved will be at the restaurant.

Dong Xuebing ran through his plan in his head again. He checked if he had missed out on anything before lighting a cigarette.

Alright.

It's time to settle the score.
