Chapter 208 – Slap to the face! (2/2)

Dong Xuebing was stunned. “What happened?”

Liang Chengpeng pushed the newspaper forward. “Read it yourself!”

Dong Xuebing picked up the newspaper. On the second page, there is an article with the header, “Women and Children abduction case.” He started reading it, and his face changed too. The report states that County Public Security Executive Deputy Bureau Chief Hu Yiguo had solved this case and arrested 5 suspects and rescued all 5 victims.

At the end of the article, it also listed out all the significant cases Hu Yiguo handled in the past. Dong Xuebing’s name was not mentioned in the article at all!

Dong Xuebing almost tore the newspaper into pieces. Snatching credit! Hu Yiguo is snatching his credit again!

Hu Yiguo oversees the investigation department, and even when Dong Xuebing had taken over this case, Hu Yiguo is still considered the overall in charge. To have his name in the article is still fine, but the report did not mention Dong Xuebing’s name. Dong Xuebing is the one who cracked this case. Why was he not included in this article? Hu Yiguo wants to claim all the credit for himself!

Liang Chengpeng called the newspaper agency, and the Chief Editor said that it’s the higher-ups who had ordered him to publish this article. Liang Chenpeng knew it must be the Head of the County’s Publicity Department, Director Qian Shen, behind this article. Dong Xuebing is helping Yu Meixia to reopen her husband’s case and is going against Qian Fei’s Jin Di Mansion. This is a warning to Dong Xuebing, but by doing this, Qian Shen had shown no respect for Liang Chengpeng.

Liang Chengpeng called Qian Shen’s office.

Qian Shen laughed. “Bureau Chief Liang? You are looking for me?”

Liang Chengpeng asked. “Director Qian, what is going on with the article in this morning’s papers? We had not even sent the case report over, and why is this article published?”

Qian Shen laughed. “Oh, you don’t need to send the report over. The reporters had gotten the details of this case.”

“They have the details of the case? What do they know? This case had been handed over to Chief Dong, and he is the one who solved this case. Why is he not mentioned in the article?”

“Really? I remember Chief Hu is investigating this abduction case. Maybe it’s an overlook by the reporters. Chief Liang, the newspaper had been published, and it’s too late to make changes. Anyway, Chief Hu is in charge of the investigation, and the article is not wrong too.” Qian Shen continued. “I still have some matters to attend to. Bye.”

Liang Chengpeng knew Qian Shen will not admit his mistake, and he had done this purposely!

Liang Chengpeng suppressed his anger and said. “Director Qian says he can’t change the article!”

Dong Xuebing’s blood began to boil. Qian Shen! Your son almost causes Sister Yu to be raped, and I still have not settled the score with you! Now, you want to find trouble with me? You don’t know about that murder case? You and your son are involved in Jin Di Mansion, and you can’t escape! Hu Yiguo is a member of Qian Shen’s faction, and Dong Xuebing does not have any good impression of Qian Shen. Now, this article had ignited the fire in Dong Xuebing!

Liang Chengpeng does not look good. He had just told Dong Xuebing that he will give him credit. But now, there’s nothing he can do. Liang Chengpeng had not thought that Hu Yiguo and Qian Shen will be so despicable to snatch this credit from Dong Xuebing. However, Liang Chengpeng is not a member of the County Government’s Party Committee, and there’s nothing he can do.

“Chief Liang, I will go back to work first.” Dong Xuebing stood up with blackface.

Liang Chengpeng sighed. “Jin Di Mansion is very sensitive. You need to watch out.”

You want me to stop now? Impossible!

Any government officials will stop when they receive hints from their superiors. But Dong Xuebing will not stop investigating about Jin Di Mansion. Those who knew Dong Xuebing well will know Dong Xuebing is a stubborn and foul-tempered person. Once he set his mind on something, he will not stop. At Senior Xie’s house, he even dares to bang tables and stare at Senior Xie. Now, his opponent is only the County’s Head of Publicity Department, and he is not afraid. He will get back at him!

Qian Shen! You just wait! You think I will stop? Not so easy!

Dong Xuebing returned to his office, and Qin Yong came to look for him with a copy of the morning papers. “Xuebing, have you seen this article?”

Dong Xuebing replied emotionlessly. “Yes.”

“What the hell are they thinking?” Qin Yong threw the papers on the desk. “Hu Yiguo had not contributed anything in the investigation and arrest of those criminals. Now, he dares to claim he is the one who solved this case? What is the Publicity Department doing?! Hu Yiguo is too much this time, and everyone in the Bureau is talking about this!” Qin Yong knew this is because Dong Xuebing had offended Qian Shen, and he also has a grudge with Hu Yiguo. His credit for solving a drug trafficking case is also snatched by Hu Yiguo.

Not only Hu Yiguo had not contributed to this case, he even tried to hinder Dong Xuebing from his investigation. Now, the case was solved, and he appeared out of nowhere to claim the credit. Dong Xuebing will not take this lying down. After Qin Yong left, Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan. “Sister Xie, are you busy?” Sister Xie is from the Central Government’s Publicity Department, and she is the best person to handle this.

Xie Huilan giggled and asked. “What is it?”

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. “I cracked an abduction case yesterday, but the local newspaper did not mention my name in their article. They even put in someone else’s name to snatch my credit. Sister Xie, I don’t mind being mentioned in the papers, but this credit is mine, and how can I let someone else take it away after working so hard? My Bureau Chief called up the local Publicity Department, and the Director said there’s nothing he can do. This is too much.”

“Hahaha… you are outraged. Alright. Tell me everything in detail.”

Dong Xuebing told Xie Huilan everything that had happened.

After a while, Xie Huilan laughed and said. “Ok. I know.”

In the afternoon, another family member of the abduction case’s victim came to the Bureau. It’s the father of an 8-year-old boy. But this time, the father is thanking Hu Yiguo and not Dong Xuebing. This is because he read in the papers that Hu Yiguo was the one who solved this case. Many officers shook their heads when they saw the father of the victim thanking Hu Yiguo. Most of the officers at the Bureau felt Hu Yiguo is too shameless, but they dare not say anything as he is a leader, and he still has a strong backing. It’s Chief Dong loss this time.

After sending the victim’s family member away, Hu Yiguo was in a good mood. He knows this credit will be recorded in his personal files instead of Dong Xuebing’s. Back at his office, he gave Qian Shen a call. “Director Qian, thank you for your help.”

Qian Shen laughed. “This is your department, and this credit is yours in the first place.”

Hu Yiguo laughed. “If it’s not for you, Dong Xuebing might have snatched my credit.”

“Let’s stop talking about this case. Hahaha… Xiao Fei keeps getting into trouble. Please help me take care of him in the future.”

“I know.”

10 minutes later, someone entered the office door suddenly!

This person is Hu Yiguo’s trusted aide. “What’s wrong with you?”

That man quickly passes a copy of the newspaper to Hu Yiguo. “This is the Provincial’s newspaper. Look on page 3!”

Provincial newspaper? Hu Yiguo flipped the paper and saw an article about Yan Tai County’s women and children’s abduction case. His heart starts to beat faster. He had never expected to be featured in the Province’s Newspaper. This is not the County’s or the City’s newspaper. It’s the Province’s newspaper, and it is more influential.

But Hu Yiguo’s happiness was short-lived because the next few sentences of the article shocked him!

The article wrote: County Public Security Deputy Bureau Chief Dong Xuebing had solved this case and arrested 5 suspects and rescued all 5 victims……

It’s the same! This article is exactly the same as the article in the County’s paper!

The only difference is Hu Yiguo’s name is changed to Dong Xuebing!

How is this possible? Hu Yiguo was dumbfounded!

At the same time, County’s Publicity Department’s Head, Director Qian Shen, is also reading the Province’s newspaper, given to him by his secretary. At first, he thought nothing about it, but when he read that article, his face turned pale and threw the papers on his desk. Suddenly, he remembered something and took out the County’s newspapers to compare both articles. He was stunned!

Other than the person in charge of the case is different, the rest of the articles are the same. Even the punctuations are the same as the County’s article! It is an exact copy of the report! What’s the meaning of this? Qian Shen took a deep breath. He knew the reporters can’t do this. The only explanation is the Provincial Newspaper agency, or the Provincial Publicity Department is giving Tai Yan County a warning! They don’t even bother to change single punctuation. This is like giving him a slap on his face.

Qian Shen felt he had offended the wrong person. This had never happened before, and even the Province’s newspaper is alarmed and gave him a warning this way. Who the hell is Dong Xuebing?

But it’s too late to say anything now. The Province’s newspaper had published this article, and Qian Shen must go along with them. He immediately makes a call. “Hello? Is the evening paper printed? Stop it right away and gather all the information about the abduction case. Get Chief Dong’s information from the Public Security and prepare a special report about him. You must emphasize Chief Dong’s contributions in solving this case!”

The person from the newspaper agency had not received any news and don’t understand what was going on. Why is Director Qian slapping his own face? The earlier article had stated it was Chief Hu’s credit. He said. “Director Qian, the evening papers are about to be printed…”

Qian Shen quickly said. “Just listen to me and add this article in. I give you 20 minutes!”

“Yes!”

After hanging up the phone, Qian Shen wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was getting uneasy about this.

News of Chief Dong being featured in the Province’s newspaper spread.

In the office, Qin Yong was the province’s newspaper and saw the article. Why is this article the same as the one in the County’s newspaper? He started reading it carefully and noticed Hu Yiguo’s name is changed to Dong Xuebing. He immediately understood what the province’s newspaper is trying to do. They are trying to disgust the County’s Publicity Department!

Qin Yong burst out laughing! This is a powerful slap to their face!

At the same time, Liang Chengpeng was also smiling in front of the Province’s newspaper. Xiao Dong is really influential and can even get the provincial newspaper agency to help him. This time, Qian Shen and Hu Yiguo did not get the credit and still got themselves into trouble. This move by Xiao Dong really hits the spot!

Once again, Dong Xuebing comes under the spotlight in the County’s Public Security Bureau.

Hu Silian, Gong Zhongwen, Sun Changhong, Zhao Jingsong, and the rest of the leaders all knew about this. Sun Changhong is gloating, Zhao Jingsong is troubled, and Hong Zhongwen is staring at Dong Xuebing’s name in the article. Qin Yong laughed and read the article several times.

The County’s evening newspaper was published before the workday ends.

The evening papers followed the direction set by the Province’s newspaper and even wrote ab article about Chief Dong, other than the abduction case. The reports described how Chief Dong helped the villagers and how he fought against the criminals. Hu Yiguo was not mentioned at all in the evening papers!

Yes. Qian Shen is slapping himself!

Hu Yiguo was the most furious. Not only did he not get the credit, but he also embarrassed himself. Every word in the morning’s article is like slapping Hu Yiguo’s face. Hu Yiguo tore the newspapers into pieces. Dong Xuebing! Let’s see who will have the last laugh!

Dong Xuebing did not expect Sister Xie to blow up this matter. Using the Province’s newspaper to get revenge for him? Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? To him, the City’s newspaper is sufficient. But when he thought about Xie Huilan’s position, he smiled. Sister Xie is from the Central Publicity Department and only deals with the people from the Provincial Government’s Publicity Department and National level newspaper agencies. She does not know anyone from City Publicity Department.
