Chapter 1386: Scold
Evening.
The sky darkened.
The raging wind finally subsided.
Outside Hun''s hospital room, Dong Xuebing and Liao Yimin, who had juste out after visiting, pushed the door open. Several people from the Education Bureau of Fen Zhou City were still waiting outside.
Dong Xuebing hurriedly said, "Haven''t had dinner yet?"
"It''s fine, Mayor Dong, we''re not hungry," one of the officials replied.
"After a busy day, why aren''t you hungry? I''m here. You all can go back." Dong Xuebing said.
Liao Yimin also added, "We can''t help much here. Let''s go, let''s have dinner first."
Dong Xuebing said, "Thank you all for today. It''s been tough for everyone." After a pause, he continued, "I just talked to Hun. She needs to recuperate for a while. These days, we won''t be able to conduct any research. Hun suggests that you all go back first. Director Liao also knows about it. However, my suggestion is for Hun to leave with you. You don''t need to worry about the flight. I''ll make a call to arrange it. There should be a flight tomorrow morning. Go back, get a good night''s sleep, and then leave for Fen Zhou City in the morning."
Liao Yimin looked at him, "Are you leaving with us?"
"I still have some things to deal with here, so I won''t leave for now. Please take care of Hun on the way. Thank you." Dong Xuebing replied.
Li Zhixin hadn''t been dealt with yet.
Dong Xuebing''s revenge wasn''t over. Of course, he wouldn''t leave.
"It''s our pleasure. You don''t need to be so polite." Director Liao said.
"This dinner and amodation tonight are on me," Dong Xuebing added. "You don''t need to wait for Cheng Gang County to make arrangements. Find a hotel."
Not long after, Liao Yimin left with his people.
Dong Xuebing immediately made a phone call to book the flight. He also had his considerations. Firstly, he didn''t want Hun to recuperate here because the medical conditions were limited. Secondly, with so many people disabled, Dong Xuebing was afraid that the people from Cheng Gang County might cause trouble. In theory, such a thing should be impossible, but Cheng Gang County''s conduct had thoroughly disappointed Dong Xuebing. The County Leaders were more disgusting than the others. What they were capable of doing wouldn''t surprise Dong Xuebing. It was better to be safe, so he let the people from Fen Zhou City return as soon as possible.
Everything was settled.
A nurse happened to pass by the corridor.
Dong Xuebing stopped her, "How are the injured officials?"
It had been two or three hours since the incident, and Dong Xuebing hadn''t inquired about the condition of those people.
The nurse sighed. She said, "It''s very serious. Their lives were saved, but they will be severely disabled for the rest of their lives. Even the severed limbs couldn''t be reattached."
"Is there a life-threatening situation?"
"They were brought in on time, so not at the moment."
Dong Xuebing acknowledged with an "oh" and let her go.
As soon as the nurse turned around, ring, ring, ring, Dong Xuebing''s phone rang.
It was Jiang Fangfang''s number.
"Hello, Mayor Jiang."
"I just heard about it. What happened?"
"Well, the wind blew construction materials down, injuring quite a few people."
"Did you get hurt?"
"I''m fine."
"That''s good. How about your wife?"
"Nothing major. I''ll go back once she''s settled."
"No need to rush. Apany your wife first, handle things there, and thene back."
"Alright, thanks, Mayor Jiang, for your concern. My wife also sends her regards to you." This was not something Hun usually said, but it just came out naturally.
Putting down the phone, Dong Xuebing gently pushed open the door of the ward and took a nce. Seeing that Hun was asleep, he didn''t disturb her and closed the door carefully. Afterward, he headed upstairs in the direction of the intensive care unit. The County Leaders and officials from Cheng Gang County had alreadye to visit the patients. Most of them had left, and Dong Xuebing didn''t go in. He nced at the patients lying on the bed, contorted in various ways. Almost everyone had undergone surgery, and they were all in aa. Perhaps it was due to general anesthesia. They all had their eyes closed. As for Zhou Wei and the other injured official, Dong Xuebing didn''t see them. They were probably lying in other intensive care rooms.
Knowing this in advance, why bother at the beginning?
Dong Xuebing had no sympathy for them at all. Since they intended to harm others, they should be prepared to be harmed in return.
Outside, two officials from Cheng Gang County were standing guard.
Dong Xuebing hadn''t seen them before, but they seemed to recognize him. They stared at him somewhat indifferently as soon as he arrived.
"How are the people?" Since they were here, Dong Xuebing naturally had to ask.
One of the officials answered indifferently, "They are stable now," and said nothing more.
Dong Xuebing frowned, looking at the two of them. What kind of attitude was this? After causing harm to my wife, your people showed me an unfriendly face. Even when your people are injured, you still show me an unfriendly face. You should know that in everyone''s eyes, Dong Xuebing was the one who rescued the injured one by one. Unexpectedly, these people still had such an attitude. They were being aggressively aggressive with him. This guy, who wasn''t even a leader, was still confrontational with me. Dong Xuebing had never received a good attitude since he came to Cheng Gang County. They seemed to dislike everyone they saw.
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from behind.
A middle-aged man arrived, seemingly also a leader from Cheng Gang County.
"Mayor Wang."
"Mayor Wang, you''re here."
The two officials stood up politely.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. Mayor Wang was the Deputy Mayor in charge of the construction.
Mayor Wang had gone out for something in the afternoon and had just rushed back. "Where are Secretary Zhou and the others?"
One official sighed and pointed to the intensive care unit, "Old Li and Old Zhou are inside, and Secretary Zhou''s group is in the ICU upstairs."
Mayor Wang hurriedly looked inside through the ss. Even though he had heard a rough outline of the situation here, when he saw several people lying there without limbs and unconscious, he couldn''t help but darken his face. As the Deputy Mayor in charge of this area, many of these people were his subordinates. Many would be severely turned off for the rest of their lives. Even severed limbs hadn''t been reattached.
"Is everyone alright?" Since he hade, Mayor Wang naturally asked.
One of the officials answered, "They are stable now, but the situation is not optimistic."
Deputy Mayor Wang''s face darkened even more. He felt very distressed, whether emotionally or politically. He didn''t want anything to happen to these people. Once these people were gone, if another group came, who knew who they would be? Secretary Zhou also felt the same way. To build a good rtionship with Mayor Li, Deputy Mayor Wang spent a lot with Secretary Zhou.
This was bad now.
Such severe disabilities are equivalent to putting a period on their political lives.
"Mayor Wang." Since they had already confronted each other, Dong Xuebing nced at him and gave a greeting.
In terms of rank, the two were simr. Still, Dong Xuebing''s position as the Executive Deputy Mayor was higher than Deputy Mayor Wang''s. However, Deputy Mayor Wang might still be holding a grudge against Dong Xuebing for the incident where Dong Xuebing scolded their vigers and criticized theirw enforcement officers. After looking at Dong Xuebing, Deputy Mayor Wang red and spoke up, "This afternoon, there was nearly an ident. Why did you go to the new County Party Committee Buildingpound? Don''t you know it''s dangerous there? You almost got people killed. Look at the trouble you caused."
Damn.
You are seeking death.
Dong Xuebing exploded upon hearing this, pointing at him and cursing, "You dare to me me? Who the hell are you? You didn''t take proper precautions or secure the construction materials properly. You almost killed my wife, and you almost killed your people. Yet, you''re pushing all the me onto me. You''ve pushed it clean. If you dare to shout at me again, try."
Deputy Mayor Wang angrily said, "What''s wrong with me shouting at you? You''re swearing at people."
"I''m swearing at you, damn it!" Dong Xuebingg retorted, annoyed. "I tolerated you once, tolerated you twice, and yet, you people kept showing me an unfriendly face three or five times. I went to your new County Party Committee buildingpound, where you almost got my wife killed. Where were you at that time? Now youe out and shout at me. F**k your mother! My wife had such a big ident, and my child almost didn''t make it. As her husband, don''t I have the right to go to the scene and check? Damn, you mean if my wife died, she died. If you say it''s an ident, it must be an ident. If you say no one pushed anyone, then no one pushed anyone. I don''t even have the right to take a look. Damn it. With your level, you''re still a Deputy Mayor. How did you get up there?"
Dong Xuebing pointed at his forehead and said, "Wang, if you continue to talk this way, I will continue to reason it out with you! Damn it."
The crowd grewrger.
Nurses, doctors, and patients all came out to watch.
Dong Xuebing had a sharp tongue and didn''t give Wang a chance to speak. He said, "Everyone is listening. Wang, don''t me me for scolding you today. It''s your fault. You can ask these people. Most of them were saved by me. At that time, no one else went up. I took the lead and pulled each one of them out. They could be promptly sent to the hospital for treatment and wound dressing. I came over here peacefully to visit and inquire about the situation. These two officials from your Countye to me with a ckface. Then, youe up here and shout at me. Damn it."
Many patients started to whisper.
Several doctors and nurses also felt that Deputy Mayor Wang was a bit unreasonable. Not to mention that Dong Xuebing saved people, just talking about his identity as the Executive Deputy County Mayor. You shouldn''t yell at him like this even if you were angry.
Seeing the gazes from those around him, Deputy Mayor Wang got even angrier.
Without waiting for him to speak, Dong Xuebing continued, "People''s patience is limited. If you want to argue with me, I will argue with you. I, together with Mayor Jiang, was blocked by your vigers in your suburbs. You should know that situation in your heart. I don''t owe you anything. If anyone were to show ckface, it should be me. I am telling you that this matter is not over. My wife was pushed this afternoon, and I haven''t asked you for an exnation yet. Don''t worry. I have plenty of time. I hope you are ready for this time." Dong Xuebing nodded and said, "Finally, let me advise you. If you don''t treat yourself as a human being, others won''t treat you as one either."
Deputy Mayor Wang''s face turned red from being scolded.
Over there, hospital leaders were rmed. They were all from Cheng Gang County, naturally leaning towards Deputy Mayor Wang. Seeing that Deputy Mayor Wang couldn''t win against Mayor Dong, several people hurried over to mediate.
