Chapter 134: Call Chief Xiao Dong to come over
Afternoon.
Zhen Anguo was still considering whether if he should promote Dong Xuebing.
Ring, ring, ring. The phone on the desk rang. Zhen Anguo answered, and the other party immediately shouts into the phone. Zhen Anguo was shocked. "Western district again! Why is it the Western district again?! What are you all trying to do? Ah? Tell me!"
Yan Lei, who was standing near to Zhen Anguo, could hear everything clearly. Who was this person? How come he dare to shout at Chief Zhen?
Zhen Anguo recognized the voice and immediately asked: "Chief Jiang, what happened?"
Yan Lei got shocked. Chief Jiang? Could it be that Chief Jiang? How is this possible? Why did Chief Jiang call Chief Zhen's office?
5 minutes later.
Dong Xuebing was in his own office waiting for the news of his promotion. He felt Zhen Anguo should agree to his promotion, but he was still uneasy. Xu Yan had promised to promote him, and this should bot be a problem. But there was still a difference between promoting this week and promoting next year. Dong Xuebing wished his promotion would be within this week... no. It would be best if he could get his promotion today.
Tan Limei knocked on the door and entered suddenly. "Chief Bing Zhi."
Dong Xuebing laughed: "It's ok. There are no outsiders around. Don't give me such weird titles. Just Bing Zhi will do."
Tan Limei continued: "Bing Zhi, I think something had happened in our branch. I heard Chief Zhen had called for an emergency meeting with all the heads. Something big must have happened. It felt tense." Emergency meeting? This was uncommon in Western District branch. It only happens when there was some emergency.
Dong Xuebing asked: "What happened?" He had been upstairs earlier, and how come he did not notice it?
"I also don't know. I just heard about the emergency meeting and quickly came back to tell you."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "You call Panwei to ask around and let me know." Dong Xuebing was about to be promoted, and he needs to know what was happening with the higher-ups.
"Ok." Tan Limei left.
Guo Panwei knows a lot of people in the branch, and within minutes, he entered Dong Xuebing's office. "Chief Dong. I found out the reason for the emergency meeting. The Sixth Bureau had arrested the wrong person."
General Affairs Office, Political Section, Finance Department, Commission for Discipline Inspection, etc. were all administrative departments. These departments only handle the matters within the bureau and do not investigate the cases concerning about State security. Only the sixth bureau would investigate these cases. Of course, those big cases were not handled by them. Those bigger cases were handled by the City Bureau or higher level bureaus. The Sixth Bureau only handles minor incidents, like taking pictures of government buildings, spreading malicious rumors about the government, etc. Their work might seem to be same as Public Security, but actually, these cases were all handled by the Sixth Bureau. N0v3l--B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Dong Xuebing paused for a while and did not understand. "Be more specific. What happened?"
Dong Xuebing, who was standing in the corridor, was looking at the leaders rushing out. From the leaders' reactions, he knew this incident should be quite severe. Even if the officer who hit that man was punished, who knows what Chief Jiang would do. Will he continue to pursue this matter?
Xuan Wu Hospital.
Zhen Anguo and the rest entered the hospital's carpark. When they were about to enter the hospital, the Deputy Director from the Sixth Bureau saw Chief Jiang's car entering. Zhen Anguo and the rest quickly walk over to that vehicle. It was not sure if the driver did it purposely or failed to see them. The car did not stop and drove past Zhen Anguo and the rest, and stopped at a parking lot.
Zhen Anguo did not dare to lose his temper. He turned and walked back towards the parking lot.
The car door opened and a man in his 50s alighted. He was not tall but had the air of a leader. This person was Chief Jiang. The No. 1 man in the City Bureau. Many people knew Chief Jiang was a quiet person. He loves calligraphy and gardening. He was also health-conscious and seldom got angry. But today, Chief Jiang pulled a long face. He stared coldly at Zhen Anguo, who was walking towards him. He was furious. No one could blame him for being so mad. His nephew had been beaten up for no reason, and the ones who beat him were from the State Security. His subordinates!
"Chief Jiang." Zhen Anguo had discussed with the other leaders on their way to the hospital. He immediately apologizes: "This incident is entirely our fault. We are very sorry. I promise those involved will be punished. Especially the two officers who hit your relative."
Chief Jiang stared at Zhen Anguo in his eyes: "It is too late for anything. What have you been doing?"
Zhen Anguo replied: "I swear this will not happen again."
Chief Jiang: "Hmph!" and walked towards the hospital. Zhen Anguo and the rest were about to follow him to visit the injured and try to calm him down. But Chief Jiang turned back suddenly: "All of you wait here!" Zhen Anguo and the rest stopped immediately as Chief Jiang entered the hospital.
Outside of the hospital.
Xu Yan worrying said: "Chief Jiang is furious. I'm afraid...."
Everyone could tell that Chief Jiang would not let this matter rest. Punishing two State Security Officers should not be enough. But the top leaders in the branch had been changed twice recently. If Chief Jiang really wants to pursue this matter, who will he target? The Deputy Director who leads the operation? Director Jian? The Deputy Branch Chiefs? This will be a hit to their reputation, especially Zhen Anguo's reputation. He had offended the Chief of the City Bureau within days of becoming the head of the branch. Zhen Anguo's future looks dim.
Sigh... Why that person has to be Chief Jiang's relative?
Damn it!
Xu Yan and the rest of the leaders were standing outside the hospital. They did not even move a step.
The Deputy Director from the Sixth Bureau was the most nervous. He should be first that will be punished first. He was rubbing his hands nervously, thinking of a solution. Suddenly, a name appeared in his mind. No one in the branch is unaware of this name. If he can come over... then.... The Deputy Director found his last hope. He quickly turned to Xu Yan. "Chief Xu, Chief Xiao Dong should still be at work, right? Can you call him over?"
Xu Yan frowned.
Director Jian, who was seldom at the branch, had also heard of the miraculous deeds by Dong Xuebing. He thought for a while and agreed: "We also have no other ways. Just let Chief Xiao Dong try. Maybe he can save the situation."
Yan Lei heard everything. What are they talking about? Call that person here? These few leaders seem to trust Dong Xuebing a lot. Isn't him just the Chief of a General Affairs Office? He is still the deputy. What right does he have for so many leaders to talk about him? Yan Lei was shocked by the conversation between the leaders. He realized that he had made a mistake. This Dong Xuebing... was not an ordinary Deputy Chief of a small office.
Zhen Anguo also could not believe Xiao Dong was able to solve this incident. But he remembered what Xu Yan told him. "Look for Xiao Dong if you got any trouble." Zhen Anguo had no other options now. He could only try his luck.
Xu Yan did not want to drag Dong Xuebing into this. It was not because she does not trust Dong Xuebing's abilities. She just does not wish to get Dong Xuebing involved. This incident had nothing to do with the General Affairs Department and General Affairs Office in the first place. But when she saw Zhen Anguo nodding at her, Xu Yan got no choice. She took out her phone and walked aside to call the General Affairs Office. "Hello, Xiao Dong. Come to Xuan Wu Hospital now."
