Chapter 593 – Go to hell!
Afternoon.
It is the hottest season of the year. Dong Xuebing had lunch at a random restaurant and drove back to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.
“Eh? Director is back.”
“Isn’t he brought back to the police station?”
“This…… he is alright now?” Dong Xuebing’s return sparked a new round of discussion among the staff. A few staff who are well informed had received the shocking news from the Second Hospital. Nan Shan District Organization Department Chief’s son had faked his injuries. His broken ribs and arm fracture are the results of a fabricated injury report. He was not injured and had done this to blackmail and frame Director Dong. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s staff are united after Dong Xuebing was appointed. It is because of his achievements, and many staff is mad when they hear the latest news. Damn! Even if you are the Organization Department Chief, you cannot do what you want. Do you think Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is a pushover, and you can frame whoever you want?!
At the same time, a new question came to their minds. What is wrong with Guo Mingfeng, Deputy Director Guo?
“Do you still need to ask? He must have given a false statement!”
“That’s right. Xue Xiaoliang had faked his injuries, and his statement must be false too!”
“That means Director Dong did see Director Guo was attacked and went to help him?!”
“Director Guo turned around and stabbed Director Dong?”
“Director Guo is too much.”
“This is too much. How can a person do this to someone who helped him?”
“He was saved by Director Dong and still tried to frame him?! How can he do such things?”
“We are all from the same unit and should help each other. Deputy Director Guo is ungrateful! What was he thinking?”
“Maybe Chief Xue had exerted pressure on him.”
“He can keep quiet. He doesn’t need to give a false statement to frame others!”
“Let’s wait and see. Knowing our Director Dong’s temper, he will not let Director Guo off lightly.”
“That’s right. He will take revenge.”
“I think so too. But it’s not easy to take down Director Guo.”
The Subdistrict Office staff had seen Dong Xuebing’s “working style” and knew he would get back at Guo Mingfeng for backstabbing him.
Side building.
Work Party Secretary Office.
Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and called Qu Yiqiang and Zhou Yanru to his office. He had taken care of Second Hospital’s Director Wu, and his next target is Guo Mingfeng. He will not let Guo Mingfeng off. He had saved him from being beaten up by Xue Xiaoliang because they are colleagues, but the latter tried to frame him in the end.
Knock… knock…
Dong Xuebing looks up. “Come in.”
Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang entered the office. “Director, did Xue Xiaoliang really fake his injuries?” They had received news of what happened at the hospital.
“A re-examination of his injuries was conducted, and he is found to be fine.” Dong Xuebing nodded.
“This is too much! How can he do such things?!” Zhou Yanru said angrily. Qu Yiqiang is also mad, but he is puzzled. For someone who can be the Organization Department Chief, Xue Qingrong should not make this mistake. What grudges does he have with Dong Xuebing? Why did he try to frame Dong Xuebing with a fabricated injury report? This should not be what a District Government Organization Department Chief would do. The only explanation is his son, Xue Xiaoliang, had planned this setup and did not tell his father. With Xue Qingrong’s political wisdom, he will never make this mistake.
Dong Xuebing asked with a straight face. “Has Guo Mingfeng come to work?”
“He had come back at noon for a while and left.” Zhou Yanru’s face changed. “I met him at the cafeteria during lunch.”
Qu Yiqiang glanced at Zhou Yanru and turned to Dong Xuebing. He laughed. “Our Director Zhou is courageous. She saw Guo Mingfeng and scolded him in front of everyone. Even Secretary Geng had to step in.”
Qu Yiqiang had no ill intentions when he said this. He knows Zhou Yanru could not tell Dong Xuebing what she did and said it for her.
Zhou Yanru is slightly embarrassed. “I was too angry and could not hold back. Director, what I did will have a negative impact. I request for punishment.” Dong Xuebing knows Zhou Yanru is not an impulsive person like him. She is trying to show her loyalty to him by scolding Guo Mingfeng in public. This is her way of telling him that she is on his side no matter what happens. Her gesture touches dong Xuebing. She might be talkative, but she is not afraid of offending others. This is also the reason why he treated her as his trusted aide.
Dong Xuebing did not scold Zhou Yanru. “You are right to scold Guo Mingfeng. His action and thinking are a serious problem.”
Qu Yiqiang also felt Guo Mingfeng had crossed the line. “What did the Police say about this incident?”
“I had asked the Police to investigate this incident.” Dong Xuebing looks at them. “Does Guo Mingfeng have any disciplinary issues or problems?”
Qu Yiqiang shook his head. “Deputy Director Guo has been in the Government Service for quite some time, and he is very careful with his lifestyle. We had not received any complaints against him.” He chose to use the word, ‘careful’ because no one has found any evidence of his wrongdoings. He knows Dong Xuebing is going to take revenge, and he is saying it is impossible to take Guo Mingfeng down using the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Both of them left Dong Xuebing’s office after a while.
Dong Xuebing thought about the ways to deal with Guo Mingfeng. He cannot take him down with the regulations and wonders if he can transfer him away through the Organization Department.
As Dong Xuebing is thinking about his revenge, Work Party Deputy Secretary Geng Xinke knocked on the door and entered.
“Secretary Geng?” Dong Xuebing looks at him. “Have a seat.”
Geng Xinke is looking terrible. “Work Party Office Department’s Director Zhou had scolded Director Guo this afternoon. She does not have the correct mindset of a Civil Servant, and this incident had a negative impact. This is a serious issue, and such incidents must be stopped. I suggest reprimanding Zhou Yanru.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Correct mindset? I think we should doubt Deputy Director Guo’s mindset.”
Geng Xinke pretends not to know anything. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t tell me that you are not aware of him giving false statements to the Police?”
“False statement? I don’t know anything about this.” Geng Xinke asked. “Is it regarding last night’s incident? Didn’t the Police have investigated this incident, and Director Guo was only passing by that area?”
Dong Xuebing does not like to speak with Geng Xinke, and he suspects the latter was here to mock him. He might even be the one who asked Guo Mingfeng to give that false statement. Dong Xuebing immediately knows his plan to transfer Guo Mingfeng away will not work as Geng Xinke will not allow anyone to touch his men. Even if he submit the transfer application to the District Organization Party, Xue Qingrong and Mayor Geng will not approve it.
Hmph! This is a problem. Guo Mingfeng had backstabbed me, and I can’t do anything to him?!
Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Guo Mingfeng. He wants to know if he was forced to give the false statement or did it himself.
Ring… ring… ring… The call got through.
Guo Mingfeng answered the call unwillingly after a while. “Hello, Director Dong.”
Dong Xuebing had become calmer compared to the past. He laughed and asked sarcastically. “Why are you not at work today? How is your face injury? Is it better?”
Guo Mingfeng paused for a second. He is afraid Dong Xuebing might record their conversation and stick to his statement to the Police. “Thank you for your concern. I am feeling much better. It was just a slight knock when I was opening the door.”
Dong Xuebing let out a cold laughter. “Slight knock when you were opening the door?”
“Yes.”
“Deputy Director Guo, do you think this is the right thing to do?”
Guo Mingfeng replied. “What do you mean? I don’t get it.”
Dong Xuebing continued. “I want you to tell me your account of what happened last night.”
“About the assault incident?” Guo Mingfeng was more suspicious of Dong Xuebing recording their conversation, and he replied without thinking. “I was passing that area and saw you and Xue Xiaoliang in a heated argument. After that, you attacked him.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Are you serious?”
“That’s what I saw.”
“Then who is the person I saved from Xue Xiaoliang’s baton?”
“You saved someone? I did not see anyone else. You might be drunk and remembered wrongly.”
Do you still want to insist I was drunk?!
Damn! You still want to accuse me now?! Guo Mingfeng!
Dong Xuebing had wanted to give Guo Mingfeng a chance. If Xue Qingrong pressured him to accuse him, Dong Xuebing would let him off if he apologized and told the truth to the Police. He is not an unreasonable person, but Guo Mingfeng still wants to accuse him of attacking someone and drinking driving now.
F*CK you!
Guo Mingfeng! If I can’t deal with you, I will change my surname!
Dong Xuebing believes in mutual respect, and he doesn’t mind losing his job to drag his enemies down with him!
Go to hell!
Do you think anyone can backstab me? There is a price to pay for backstabbing me!
