Chapter 204 – Chain Reaction (2/2)

After a while, Dong Xuebing moved his foot from under her dress and said. “Can you massage my head?”

“Yes.” Yu Meixia straightened her skirt and moved to Dong Xuebing’s side to face him. She placed her hands in Dong Xuebing’s hair and start massaging his scalp and pressed on some acupuncture points.

“Your technique is almost on par with professionals.” Dong Xuebing said.

“Thank you. I just learned a few tricks.”

Dong Xuebing’s hands could not stay still again. Yu Meixia was very close to him, and he could smell her body scent. He rested his hand on her leg back and moved upwards slowly, pushing her dress up. He saw Yu Meixia did not stop him, and he started to stroke and grab her thighs through her stockings. After a while, he moved his hand to her butt.

Yu Meixia can no longer pretend not to know. She grabbed Dong Xuebing’s hand. “Chief Dong, don’t…”

Dong Xuebing smiled and moved his hand to hug her waist.

This time, Yu Meixia did not stop him and continued her massage with a red face.

After a while, Dong Xuebing starts to move his hands upwards along Yu Meixia’s waist. When he reached her armpits, Dong Xuebing’s wrist turned and cupped her soft left breast in his hand. Yu Meixia immediately froze and covered her chest with her arms. But Dong Xuebing’s hand was sandwiched between her arms, pressing against her breast.

“Please… Don’t…” Yu Meixia pleaded weakly.

Dong Xuebing felt terrible. He saw Yu Meixia was not willing and did not force her. He retracted his hand and said. “Sorry.”

Yu Meixia shook her head, and her tears started flowing.

Damn! What’s wrong with her? Dong Xuebing was shocked. If he knew touching Yu Meixia will make her cry, he would not do that. He sits up from the bed and apologizes. “Sister Yu, I’m sorry. Can you stop crying? I… I am not myself these few days. Errr… if you are unwilling, I will not do this again. Ok? Please stop crying… It’s all my fault.”

Yu Meixia was sobbing softly.

Dong Xuebing regretted. “I am really sorry. Sister Yu, I will let you beat me up and will not retaliate.”

“It’s not your fault.” Yu Meixia sobbed. “I… I remembered my husband suddenly, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Dong Xuebing doesn’t believe he had nothing to do with her crying. He apologized again and wiped her tears. “Stop crying. Didn’t you say your husband often beat you? Why do you think about him?”

Yu Meixia cried. “It’s not his fault. He is just… He is set up by others, and because of me and Qianqian, he….”

Dong Xuebing frowned. “What happened?”

“Chief Dong, I know I said it was the last time I beg you for help to let Qianqian go to school. But…… But my husband’s death had been buried in mine and Qianqian’s heart for too long.” Yu Meixia wiped his tears and climbed off the bed. She kneeled in front of the bed. “Can you please help me one last time? I know my husband is killed by someone else, and I only hope you can help me catch the murderer. Please… I know you are a good man.

I am a good man?

Dong Xuebing had just took touched all over her, and he blushed. “Err… Sister Yu, get up first.” Dong Xuebing helped her up and grabbed a towel for her to wipe her tears. “Tell me slowly. What happened?”

Yu Meixia blew her nose and said. “My husband did not commit suicide.”

Dong Xuebing was stunned. He thought Yu Meixia’s husband had killed himself because of his debts. “Then?”

Yu Meixia got agitated. “It must be the people from Jin Di Mansion. They had brought my husband to the casino there, and he lost a lot of money. But he refused to stop gambling, and he sold the house and everything valuable to try to recoup his losses. In the end, he lost and end up owing Jin Di Mansion a lot of money. But he still refuses to stop gambling. Every time my husband returns home, he had bruises on his face. He told me he was beaten up by the people at Jin Di Mansion, and then he borrowed money from his bosses. On the night when I last saw him, he called Qianqian and me over. He said this is his final chance, and this will be the last time he gamble. But… but…”

Dong Xuebing asked. “What happened?”

Yu Meixia cried louder. “But that is the last time I saw him. He went missing for many days, and his body was found in a lake. The police autopsy report said he committed suicide. I don’t believe the police. I know my husband will not leave Qianqian and me behind. I cried and begged the police to investigate Jin Di Mansion. They must be the ones who killed my husband. But after the police investigation, the police told me that there is no casino in Jin Di Mansion. How can this be possible? My husband had told me he gambled there, and many people know that it is a place for gambling. But the police insisted there is no casino…”

Dong Xuebing felt something was off. “What sort of place is Jin Di Mansion?”

Yu Meixia replied. “It is like a vacation resort and provides entertainment.”

This place has backing? They even manage to stop the police from investigating? Other than this explanation, Dong Xuebing cannot think of other reasons. “Where is your husband’s body.”

Yu Meixia said. “It’s been half a year, and his body had been cremated.”

“That means there is no evidence? Other than you and Qianqian, is there any witness or evidence?” Yu Meixia shook her head. Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Without the body, there will be no clues, even if this case is reopened. Also, it’s been so long, and it is almost impossible for the police to start the investigation again.

Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing. “Chief Dong, please help me. I beg you.”

Dong Xuebing sighed. “From what you told me, Jin Di Mansion is suspicious. But this incident had been over for almost half a year. It’s quite difficult to reopen this case now.”

Yu Meixia cried louder. Actually, she also knew it was impossible to get revenge for her husband.

Dong Xuebing can tell Yu Meixia still loves her husband. Before meeting Dong Xuebing, she had to bring her daughter along to beg and was burdened with debt. She had been suppressing the thoughts of getting revenge. Dong Xuebing did not stop her from crying. Just let it all out. She might feel better after crying.

The door suddenly opens. Yu Qianqian ran into her mother’s arms and cried. “Mum, you still have me… stop crying…” Yu Qianqian had heard her mother crying and overheard the conversation between Dong Xuebing and her mother.

Yu Meixia hugged her daughter, and both cried louder.

Dong Xuebing was touched and felt guilty for taking advantage of Yu Meixia earlier. “Alright. I will help you ask around.” He took out his handphone and walked out of the room. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and called Qin Yong. “Hello, Chief Qin? Are you resting?”

“Not yet. What’s wrong?”

“Err… I would like to ask you about Jin Di Mansion.”

Qin Yong was surprised and took a deep breath. “The Jin Di Mansion at the County’s outskirts? The one near to your Hui Tian Village?”

“Yes.”

“Brother Dong, why are you asking?”

Dong Xuebing heard Qin Yong asked this question and knew this Jin Di Mansion is not simple. “Haha… I heard there is a casino there?”

“Sigh…… actually I heard a lot about that place. That place does have lots of illegal activities, and I even heard someone was killed there.” Qin Yong paused for a second and continued. “Brother Dong, don’t touch that place. When I was newly transferred here, Chief Liang had wanted to close that place down. But in the end, he couldn’t do anything. I heard that place had the backings of the higher-ups, and lots of County leaders pressurized Chief Liang to stop his investigations.”

Dong Xuebing was stunned. “Higher-ups? Who?”

After a long pause, Qin Yong said. “There are rumors that the boss of Jin Di Mansion is the son of the County’s Publicity Department’s head, Qian Sheng.”

Dong Xuebing finally understood why the public security did not act against Jin Di Mansion even when people made police reports. Hu Yiguo and Zhao Jingsong are under Qian Sheng’s faction, and even Chief Liang could not do anything against them. One Qian Sheng might not be powerful enough to stop Chief Liang. There should be power struggles among the higher-ups when Chief Liang wants to investigate Jin Di Mansion. The two factions of the higher-ups should be the County Government’s Party Secretary and the County’s Mayor, and it’s apparent Chief Liang’s faction had lost.

Damn! This is too complicated. Even Chief Liang could not do anything?

Jin Di Mansion… Qian Sheng… Hu Yiguo… Zhao Jingsong… Wan Tao… Dong Xuebing list out all these names in his heart.

At this moment, Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian walked out of the bedroom and looked at Dong Xuebing eagerly.

Currently, Dong Xuebing is still not powerful enough to deal with these people. But he gave in when he saw Yu Meixia’s eyes. He felt he cannot refuse her request. “Sister Yu. Don’t be anxious. I need some time to deal with this. But I promise you I will catch the murderer if your husband is really killed by the people at Jin Di Mansion.” Since the day Dong Xuebing was posted to Tai Yan County, Dong Xuebing had decided to help the people here. Jin Di Mansion must be shut down!

Yu Meixia’s tears started flowing again and kneeled down in front of Dong Xuebing with Yu Qianqian.

Yu Meixia knew Jin Di Mansion has strong backings, and she did not expect Chief Dong is willing to get justice for her. Chief Dong will surely offend the people behind Jin Di Mansion because of her.

Dong Xuebing stepped forward and helped them up. “Are you two praying to me? Get up.”

After helping them up, Yu Meixia turned to her daughter. “Qianqian, go back to the room first.” She does not want her daughter to get involved.

After Yu Qianqian returned to the room, Dong Xuebing said. “I am not in charge of the investigation and public security, and without a valid reason, I cannot interfere in this case. Sister Yu, I want you to lodge a report at the Public Security again. If the officers there tells you that this case is closed and they will not investigate, you continue to make reports at other stations. If the County’s Public Security refuses to accept your reports, go to the Provincial Public Security Bureau to make reports.” Dong Xuebing wants Yu Meixia to make some commotions and observe how Hu Yiguo and his gang will react. Of course, he also wants to see what Chief Liang’s faction will do.

Yu Meixia nodded. “I… I know… Chief Dong, regardless of the outcome, I will be grateful for your help. Thank you. I will never forget what you have done for me.”
