Chapter 545 – Unable to take it anymore!
Next day.
Tuesday, morning.
Dong Xuebing had set his alarm at 6 am last night. He opened his eyes when his alarm went off and looked at the time before getting up to get dress. He lit a cigarette and called Peng Gang to ask him about his progress.
Peng Gang replied. "We had arrested ten men, and nine of them are detained."
"Has the situation cool down? Are they still creating trouble at the District Party Committee Building?"
"After we arrested them, they dispersed, and they have not appeared today."
"Good. Thanks for your hard work."
"That’s my duty."
Dong Xuebing is relieved to know this incident is settled. But things changed unexpectedly.
…….
District Party Committee Family Quarters.
Nan Shan District Organization Department Deputy Chief Peng Kun is very nervous. The District’s Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary had questioned him about the clash between Liu Xiang Hu Tong and Guang Ming Subdistrict. He knows he had crossed the line and could not sleep at night. He is worried the District will penalize him and doesn’t want that to happen. The City’s Party School training is next month, and he will be transferred to Xi Ping District the following month. This is an important promotion for him, and nothing must happen.
Peng Kun thought through the night and took out his phone to make a phone call. "Hello, Editor Chen? I’m Peng Kun."
Peng Kun has a smirk after hanging up the call.
……..
A while later, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing is in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and he answered. "Hello?"
"Are you Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s Director Dong?" A young man asked. "I am Liu Gang, a reporter with Nan Qi Morning Post. I would like to interview you. Are you free this morning?"
Nan Qi Morning Post?
Dong Xuebing had heard about this newspaper agency, but it is a small agency with average influence.
Dong Xuebing frowned. "I am busy this morning. What do you want to know? We can speak over the phone."
Liu Gang paused for a second and asked. "It was regarding the fight at Liu Xiang Hu Tong yesterday. I heard Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staff had beat up the residents there and injured over twenty people. Two of them are still undergoing treatment at the hospital." Other than the people there, no one will believe one person can beat up twenty-six men. That’s why the rumors become it was the Subdistrict Office’s staff beat up more than twenty residents. "What do you have to say about this incident?"
Why is it regarding this incident again?
Dong Xuebing is irritated. "Someone had instigated the residents to attack us, and we are forced to retaliate."
Liu Gang continued. "Have you considered the consequences of beating up those civilians?"
Hmph! Who are you to educate me?
Dong Xuebing coldly replied. "Reporter Liu? I find your tone disrespectful. You all can go to the scene to find out what happened."
Liu Gang replied emotionlessly. "We had gone to the scene and gotten some information."
"Since you all know what happened, you should not be calling me. You should be asking those illegal store owners why are they attack us? Why did they break the law?!"
"We had interviewed a few injured residents at the hospital, and all of them are furious. They had lost confidence in the Government. Director Dong, can I assume Guang Ming Subdistrict thinks this action is right?"
