Chapter 414 – Media reporters coming in great numbers (1/2)

Spring. Flowers are blossoming, and this is the most beautiful season of the year.

The flower scent and fresh air entered the room from the half-opened windows.

Dong Xuebing slept on Xie Huilan’s sweet-smelling pillow and covered himself with her cozy blanket. He slowly opened his eyes and looks around the room. It took a few seconds before he remembered where he was. He yawned and smelled the pillow again and got up to wash his face.

Dong Xuebing had a good rest, and all his fatigue was gone.

Dong Xuebing was satisfied after his trip to Tokyo, and bringing forward his wedding with Sister Xie is the greatest reward.

After a quick shower, Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan. “Hello, Huilan. Are you awake? I knew you were driving last night, so I did not call you. Err… Your mother said our marriage doesn’t need to be delayed until I get promoted.”

Xie Huilan laughed. “I know. My Mum called me last night. Ok. You just need to work hard to complete the Investment Promotion Agency’s target this year. I will be waiting for you to join me in my bed.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Why do you keep mentioning this? Are you trying to seduce me?”

“I am motivating you. Haha…”

Dong Xuebing knows Xie Huilan is busy and hangs up quickly. He lit a cigarette and called his office and Deputy Mayor Zhao Xinglong to apply for leave for the week. Japan’s break-in case had caused an uproar, and Dong Xuebing followed Sister Xie and Madam Han’s advice to stay low in Beijing. The Investment Promotion Agency work is going smoothly, and everything should be fine when he is not around.

Knock… knock… knock… someone knocks on the door.

“Xiao Bing. Can I enter?” It’s Han Jing.

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing quickly snubbed his cigarette. “Please come in.”

The door opened, and Madam Han, who is wearing a long dress, entered the room. “Why did you snub the cigarette? Just carry on.”

Dong Xuebing opened the window to air the room. “No need. The cigarette smell is too strong. Oh, how are you feeling today? Have you check your blood pressure?”

Han Jing smiled and sat on the bed. She patted Dong Xuebing’s hand like his mother. “Thanks to you for getting back the statue. I feel much better.”

Han Jing’s blood pressure had gone up because of the Buddha statue. Now it’s recovered, she felt better.

After chatting for a while, Madam Han said. “Your Uncle had gone to work. Let’s go and have breakfast.”

The breakfast was prepared by the helpers, and it was sumptuous.

At around 9.30 am, Madam Han has to attend a charity event. The wife of the City’s Party Secretary is very busy and must attend these functions.

The car had arrived to pick Madam Han, and she left.

Only Dong Xuebing and the helpers are in the house, and he felt awkward to remain there and went out. Last night, many people had come for Madam Han’s birthday dinner. Dong Xuebing had to park his Mercedes MPV beside the trees in the Party Committee Family Quarters.

Dong Xuebing pressed the remote, and his car beeped.

Just when Dong Xuebing was walking out of Mansion No. 1, a middle-aged man walks out of another mansion diagonally opposite, to a parked Audi, with the City’s Party Committee registration plate. The driver got down and opened the rear passenger door.

Eh? Isn’t that the City’s Public Security Bureau Chief, Feng Xueliang?

Beijing City Party Committee Members are all high-level officials with at least Deputy Minister rank.

Dong Xuebing had met Feng Xueliang before when he was working in State Security. They met in Wangfu restaurant when Xie Huilan brought him there for lunch. She also introduced Dong Xuebing to him. But Feng Xueliang is a high-ranking official and should not remember him. Furthermore, he heard that Feng Xueliang is with the City Mayor’s faction and is different from Xie Guobang’s faction.

Feng Xueliang, in his police uniform, saw Dong Xuebing.
