Chapter 388 – Mastermind (1/2)

Cheng Keliang also alighted and looked towards Dong Xuebing. “Mayor Xie, what happened?”

Xie Huilan smiled. “It’s not far from the quarters here. You can go back first. I still have something to attend.”

“Is there trouble?” Cheng Keliang frowned. “Is that Xiao Dong? Why is he fighting again?”

Xie Huilan glanced at Cheng Keliang. “… go back first, ok?”

Cheng Keliang can only nod and crossed the road towards the County Party Committee quarter. Xie Huilan waved her hand to send her driver Old Xing away and walked over to Dong Xuebing with a smile. “Xiao Dong, what are you doing?”

Dong Xuebing dares not to release his grip on that man’s neck. “Someone is following you. I had captured him.”

“You are terrific.” Xie Huilan smiled wearily.

“Eh, stay away from him! He is armed!”

“I know he is armed.” Xie Huilan looked at the crowd looking at them. “Alright. Let’s talk in the car.”

Dong Xuebing was stunned, but he did not release his grip. “You know him?!”

Xie Huilan nodded and boarded the Jetta. Dong Xuebing hesitated for a second before releasing that man and got into the car.

“What is going on?” Dong Xuebing asked. Did I catch the wrong person?

Xie Huilan giggled. “Let me introduce. This is Chen Xuan. He is an officer from the Central Military Commission 2nd Bureau. After the time bomb incident last year, my family is worried about my safety and sent Xiao Chen to protect me. Haha… but only the Ministerial level leaders are assigned with personal guards. That’s why I don’t want to let others know and asked Xiao Chen to protect me from a distance.”

Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. “Sigh… why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Xie Huilan smiled. “I was still thinking of asking Xiao Chen to return earlier.”

“Mdm!” Chen Xuan said. “I cannot return before completing my task! Mdm. Han had instructed me to protect…”

“Alright… alright…” Xie Huilan smiled. “Just follow me if you want, but don’t get capture next time.”

Chen Xuan’s face turned red. Xie Huilan had not hidden his identity from Dong Xuebing, and he knew Dong Xuebing must be someone she trusted.

Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and giggled. “You are terrific. Xiao Chen is considered one of the best fighters in his Bureau, and even seven or eight people cannot get close to him. But you manage to pin him down with one move, and he didn’t even have the chance to take out his gun.”

The Central Military Commission Intelligence Bureau is a special unit. The 2nd Bureau is considered an independent department with elite officers. Even the best soldiers from other units might not even meet the minimum entry requirements of this Bureau. Its main duty is protecting deputy ministerial-level and above leaders

Chen Xuan regained his composure. “It’s alright. My skills are not good enough.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Are you being modest? That was a sneak attack. Don’t take it seriously.

Chen Xuan knew that even if he is prepared, he cannot win against Dong Xuebing unless he takes out his gun from the start.

Xie Huilan saw Chen Xuan’s confidence was shattered and smiled. “Xiao Chen, my mother, had told me about your achievements in your Bureau. Don’t be so down, and don’t compare yourself with Xiao Bing.” She turned to Dong Xuebing and continued. “He… he managed to kill 9 armed criminals by himself while being handcuffed and guns pointing at him. Don’t compare with him.”

Chen Xuan gasped.

“Oh, I still have not introduced him.” Xie Huilan smiled and held Dong Xuebing’s hand. “This is Dong Xuebing. My fiancée.”

Dong Xuebing felt he’s on cloud nine when Xie Huilan introduced him as her fiancée. It felt different when she introduced him as her boyfriend.

Chen Xuan was stunned and looked at Dong Xuebing.

Xie Huilan added. “He… he likes to go beyond his limits. If he meets any danger in the future, you must protect him. Remember, his life is more important than mine. You understand?”

Chen Xuan did not reply as he doesn’t know what to say.

Dong Xuebing gave Xie Huilan a stare. “Protect me for what?! Do I still need protection?”

Xie Huilan smiled and played with Dong Xuebing’s fingers. “I heard you had offended Xin Hua News Agency reporters this afternoon. If you don’t change this habit of creating trouble, you will be in trouble sooner or later. Xiao Chen is armed and is better than you fight barehandedly. I will let Xiao Chen follow you after I reach my office in the future.”

Dong Xuebing refused to accept this arrangement. Although he is touched by Xie Huilan’s concern for him, he doesn’t want to be watched.

In the end, this arrangement was not accepted by Dong Xuebing and Chen Xuan.
