Chapter 170 – Arrest! (1/2)
Luan Family.
Everyone had heard what Dong Xuebing said over the phone. All of them were stunned.
Luan Xiaoping asked: “Xiao Bing, did you just call Chief Liu?” Everyone in the village knew who Liu Dahai was!
Dong Xuebing nodded. “He will be here soon. We shall see how he is going to settle this after he arrives. Sis, don’t worry. Since I am here, I will help you.” He patted Tang Jin’s back and wiped her tears. “If the Village Station Chief wants to ignore this and want to protect those hooligans, fine. I will let the County Bureau send officers over. Don’t be scared. Stop crying.”
Tang Jin’s eyes opened wide. “County Bureau?”
Dong Xuebing’s Uncle’s wife felt he was boosting. “You are from Beijing’s State Security. You don’t have any authority here.”
That’s right. No one believes Liu Dahai will come over. He is a leader in the village. Why would he handle this case personally?
Dong Xuebing just sat there looking at his watch. If Liu Dahai did not arrive within 10 minutes, it means he knew this was his address and purposely choose to ignore his calls. This was to challenge his authority. Dong Xuebing will never allow anyone to step all over his head. If Liu Dahai arrived within 10 minutes, that means he might not know his family’s address.
1 minute past……
3 minutes past……
8 minutes past……
Dong Xuebing’s Uncle’s wife looked at Dong Xuebing impatiently and said to Luan Xiaoping. “Are the dishes done?”
Luan Xiaoping remembered that she was washing the dishes halfway. “Sister-in-law, I will go and wash them now.”
Screeched……. Screeched!!!! It was the sounds of hard braking! Followed by the sounds of cars’ doors being slammed closed.
Dong Xuebing patted Tang Jin’s back. “Xiao Jin, go and open the door.” Dong Xuebing will not open the door himself. But everyone in the house is all Dong Xuebing’s elders, and he can only ask Tang Jin to open the door.
Tang Jin was scared. She felt it might be those hooligans coming to create trouble. She walked out to the door and opened it cautiously. She was shocked by what she saw after she opened the door. There were 7 to 8 police officers and the Village’s Station Chief Liu Dahai standing outside. “You… Who are you all looking for?”
First Aunt, Uncle, Second Aunt, and the rest looked out from the living and were shocked!
He really came! Liu Dahai really came! What was happening?
Before everyone could figure out what was happening, Dong Xuebing said: “You are Chief Liu? Your village station’s officers are really on time! You all arrive so fast!” Everyone in the house was shocked. Dong Xuebing banged the table with his phone. “Two calls! Half an hour! You all still dare to tell me that you all don’t have enough manpower and will not be coming today? Ah? What the hell are you all doing?!”
Luan Xiaoping panicked and quickly signaled to her son.
Dong Xuebing’s Uncle, Tang Jin, and the rest were stunned. Chief Liu was the head of the village’s police station. You dare to scold him like this?
The few police officers were called over after receiving a call at home. They do not know what happened. They were shocked to see their Station Chief getting scolded by a young man in his early 20s. Some of them were about to scold Dong Xuebing when Liu Dahai said something that stunned everyone!
Liu Dahai wiped his sweat. “Chief Dong, it’s our station’s operator who failed in his duties.”
Chief Dong? He is the newly transferred Bureau Chief’s Dong?
The few police officers immediately shut up and stood at attention.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Stop pushing the responsibility to others! You all dare to ignore the public’s call for help? Wait until tomorrow? We would be dead by then! From what I see, you all have no intentions to send officers over! Is this the way your station does things? Ah? Is this how you all serve the people? Ah?”
Liu Dahai bowed his head. “Chief Dong. It’s my fault. I had failed to manage my men. I…… really did not know about this.” Liu Dahai did not say that he does not know this was Dong Xuebing’s family home. He could not say this as this would be telling Chief Dong that the Police officers are ignoring the public’s call for help. He just said that he did not know about this. This was telling Dong Xuebing that he does not know Dong Xuebing’s mother’s family is staying here and does not know what happened at the station.
After a round of scolding, Dong Xuebing vented some of his anger. He pointed at Tang Jin and said. “Look at the security of this village? A lady walking on the streets got surrounded by a bunch of thugs?! Ah? No policemen are bothered to look into this? Those hooligans had come to steal from our garden, and we called the police. But no officers came to investigate! What have you been doing?!”
