Chapter 221 – Arrest them! (1/2)

That night, Dong Xuebing got into bed and slept.

But not long after he fell asleep, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. He had a few drinks with Qin Yong during dinner and was still feeling giddy. He reached out for his phone, but could not find it. He had to get up and look for his phone. It’s almost 11 pm, and he wondered who is calling at this hour. It’s an unknown number, and Dong Xuebing answered.

“Chief Dong, I am Party Secretary Xiang’s secretary!”

“Oh, you have anything for me?”

“What is wrong with Hui Tian Village’s security? Ah?”

“Security? What do you mean?”

“Party Secretary’s relative was beaten up in Hui Tian Village! Go and handle it immediately!”

Dong Xuebing no longer felt sleepy. Is this person Xiang Daofa’s secretary? Xiang Daofa’s relative was beaten up by someone? This is not a small incident, but what’s with your attitude? Does a secretary dare to be so commanding? Do you think I am your subordinate? No need to ask. It must be Xiang Daofa who got his secretary to call. If not, this secretary will not dare to order him. Dong Xuebing’s impression of Xiang Daofa got worse. “I will call the Village Station and ask Station Chief Liu to handle it.”

Secretary Zhou frowned and said. “If they can handle it, Party Secretary Xiang will not ask me to call you!”

Dong Xuebing was getting irritated. It’s just a fight, and the other party will get slap with a fine. What’s the big deal?

“Chief Dong, you must go and arrest the culprit now. I am waiting to report to Party Secretary Xiang!” Secretary Zhou hangs up the phone. It’s not that he wants to give attitude to Dong Xuebing. It’s because Xiang Daofa is furious over this incident.

Dong Xuebing immediately cursed after the line was cut. Xiang Daofa, I helped you become the County’s Party Secretary and had expressed interest in joining your faction. Not only you ignore me and don’t even want to meet me, and you still want me to help your relative? Also, what’s wrong with your secretary’s tone? Dong Xuebing remembered that when Xiang Daofa was still the Mayor, he was quite friendly. But he changed after he becomes the County’s number one!

But no matter how unwilling Dong Xuebing is, he still needs to do what is required of him. If Party Secretary Xiang’s relative is badly injured the area under Dong Xuebing, he also got to bear the responsibility. From Secretary Zhou’s attitude, this should not be a small incident. Maybe Xiang Daofa’s relative is badly injured.

On the way to Hui Tian Village, Dong Xuebing called Liu Dahai. “Old Liu, how’s the situation?”

Liu Dahai knew what Chief Dong was asking, and he sighed. “I was just about to call you. I had just received a call about Party Secretary Xiang’s relative getting beaten up. I am not sure what happened, but the attacker seems to be a relative of our Station’s Police Officer.”

Dong Xuebing understands why he was ordered to handle this incident. “Where is the location?”

“It’s in a restaurant at the village’s west entrance. I am on my way over.”

“Ok. I will reach in a while. Control the situation when you reached.” After hanging up, Dong Xuebing speeds up. Dong Xuebing is unwilling to handle cases that involve relatives of leaders, especially Xiang Daofa. Even if he handled it well, no one would appreciate his efforts. If the incident is not handled well, Dong Xuebing will be blamed and penalized.

Hui Tian Village.

West Entrance.

From far, Dong Xuebing could see a few police cars with blinkers on. He drove over and alighted.

“What’s going on?” Dong Xuebing asked.

Chu Feng and a few other officers saw Chief Dong and rushed over. “Chief Dong, Station Chief Liu is inside speaking to the other party. Their leader is called Xiang Chengdong, and he is a distant relative of Party Secretary Xiang.”

Dong Xuebing scolded. “Who is the one that attacked him?”

Chu Feng hesitated. “It’s Da Leng, Er Leng, and their family members.”

Dong Xuebing frowned. “Call them over! What are they thinking?”

After a while, Da Leng and his brother were brought over by Chu Feng. Dong Xuebing saw them and started scolding. “Do you know who you all are?! Auxiliary Police! Your job is to maintain law and order and not create trouble! As a law enforcer, you all should set an example for others! How can you hit people? Ah? Who gives you all the permission to do this? Look at yourselves! You all have got no discipline at all!”

Da Leng clenched his fist and his brother, Er Leng, eyes had turned red, like an angry lion.

Dong Xuebing turned to Chu Feng. “Where is Xiang Chengdong’s injury? How bad is it?”

Chu Feng replied. “It is not serious. He just got punched in the face and is not badly injured.”

Dong Xuebing was relieved to hear the injuries are not serious. If Xiang Chengdong is missing a hand or leg, he would not be able to answer to Party Secretary Xiang. “Party Secretary Xiang had ordered to punish the attacker severely. Bring all the attackers back to the station for investigation.” Dong Xuebing points to Da Leng and Er Leng. “I will settle the score with you two when we get back!”

Er Leng gritted his teeth. “I had done nothing wrong! That person should be beaten up!”

Da Leng did not say a word, but from his angry expression, he agreed with his brother.

Chu Feng quickly tugged the two brothers’ arms and said to Dong Xuebing. “Chief Dong, it’s not what you think it is.”

Dong Xuebing frowned and waited for Chu Feng to carry on. He also knows that Da Leng and his brother are simple villagers, and will not beat other people up for anything. There must be a reason behind this.

Chu Feng looked at the entrance of the restaurant and said. “The whole incident is like this. Da Leng and Er Leng’s younger sister had returned home from her University and was having dinner with her family here. They happened to meet Xiang Chengdong and his drunk friends. Xiang Chengdong and his friends start to harass Da Leng’s younger sister and even touched her. Da Leng’s family members tried to stop them but were beaten up by Xiang Chengdong and his friends as they were outnumbered. Da Leng and Er Leng heard what happened and rushed over. Both sides fought again, and the other party called the police. We only know Xiang Chengdong was Party Secretary’s relative when we arrived.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “It’s Xiang Chengdong and his friends who started the fight?”

Chu Feng nodded. “Also, other than Xiang Chengdong, who was punched, the rest of his friends were not injured. They are the ones who had beat others up. You did not see it. Da Leng’s sister was badly beaten up, and her face is swollen. Da Leng’s second uncle is also…”

Dong Xuebing stopped Chu Feng. “Bring me over!”

Chu Feng and the other officers entered the restaurant.

The restaurant is almost empty. Other than some passersby watching the commotion, there were four middle-aged men drinking beer and joking among themselves. Station Chief Liu Dahai and Deputy Station Chief Chen Fa are talking to them. This group of men should be Xiang Chengdong. But Dong Xuebing stood there and observed them for a while. None of them seems to be beaten up. They were still drinking and smoking happily!

When Dong Xuebing turns to the other side of the restaurant, his face changed.

At a table near to the windows, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a young girl were sitting there. That middle-aged man should be Da Leng’s Second Uncle, and he was holding on to his arm, and blood was still flowing out from his nose. The young man was also the same. Bruises can be seen on his face, and there were bald patches on his head. His hair must have been pulled out by Xiang Chengdong and his friends. Dong Xuebing looked at that young girl. She should be Da Leng’s sister. She was crying, and the left side of her face is swelled. One of her eyes is bruised, and she is missing one of her front teeth.

After Da Leng returned to the restaurant, he ran over to console his sister.

Er Leng was staring at Xiang Chengdong angrily and might rush over to beat them up anytime.

Chu Feng sighed. “These people are too ruthless. How can they beat up a girl like this?”

Dong Xuebing was furious. Secretary Zhou had called him to tell him that Party Secretary Xiang’s relative was beaten up, and ordered him to come over immediately. Dong Xuebing thought the injuries were serious, and that’s why he scolded Da Leng and Er Leng when he arrived. But the truth is not what he expected. Xiang Chengdong is beaten up? He is still drinking beer happily. It’s them who beat others up! Damn! What the f**k is Xiang Daofa up to?!

Dong Xuebing walked over and asked. “Are there any fractures?”

Er Leng gritted his teeth. “This is Chief Dong.”

That female student looked at Dong Xuebing. She is missing one front tooth, and her gums were still bleeding. “My Second Uncle’s leg is broken. I don’t have any fractures.”

Dong Xuebing looked at Er Leng. “You don’t need to say anything. Just bring your relatives to the hospital now.”

Someone from the other group heard it and stood up. “No one is allowed to leave! Do you think you all can leave after beating us? This incident is not settled yet!” This man had a bit of bruise on his face and should be Xiang Chengdong. He is behaving like a hooligan.

Liu Dahai suppressed his anger and said. “Mr. Xiang. You all did not suffer any injuries. Just let this matter rest.”

Xiang Chengdong sneered. “Not injured? Who gave me the bruises on my face? I am telling you now! This incident is not over! You are the Station Chief, right? Your men had beaten me up, and you think I will let it off so easily?” He pointed to Er Leng and his family. “The ones who hit us must all be arrested! Those two auxiliary officers must be fired! I also want 10,000 RMB for my medical compensations!”

Chen Fa knew Xiang Chengdong had drunk a lot. But what he said was too much.
