Chapter 170 – Arrest!

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?!”

“I had overlooked. Rest assured, I will make sure all the culprits get the punishment they deserved!” Liu Dahai did not even need to ask and knew who the hooligans were. He turned to his men and shouted: “Go! Bring them back now!” Liu Dahai was furious. Chief Dong’s relative was bullied in his turf, and he was embarrassed.

The few police officers rushed out of the house.

A while later, the efficiency of the officers was shown to Dong Xuebing. Within minutes, the officers brought back 4 hooligans. They were drinking and playing cards at one of their friend’s place when the officers rushed in and arrested them. This was not the first time the hooligans interacted with the officers. They knew each other, and the hooligans did not expect the officers to arrest them without saying a word. On the way back, the officers told them that the girl they harassed earlier was the sister of the County’s Public Security Deputy Bureau Chief. The hooligans knew they were in trouble.

Dong Xuebing looked at the 4 hooligans and turned to Tang Jin. “Xiao Jin, are they the ones who harassed you?”

Tang Jin was still puzzled why all the officers called her cousin Chief Dong. Even Liu Dahai treated Dong Xuebing like he was his superior. She got braver and pointed to one hooligan with dyed hair. “It’s them! This yellow hair touched my waist!”

Dong Xuebing pulled a long face and nodded.

Liu Dahai heard that and signaled to his men.

That officer got the hint and went over to give that yellow hair a kick to his ass!

The rest of the officers immediately got the hint and start beating up those hooligans. “You all even dare to harass our Chief Dong’s sister?! You all are asking for it!”

The hooligans were rolling on the ground in pain. “Chief Dong, Ms. Tang, we are sorry. We will not do it again!”

Tang Jin felt much better, and she even wanted to go over and give them a few kicks.

Dong Xuebing suddenly waved his hand. “Don’t hit them here! Bring them back and charge them accordingly to the law!”

The few officers stopped immediately. They understood the meaning of those words. Charge them according to the law was impossible. What Dong Xuebing meant was don’t hit them here. Bring them back to the station and beat them up there!

Liu Dahai thought to himself. Leaders from Beijing speaks differently. If he were in Dong Xuebing’s position, he would surely tell the officers to beat them up immediately. But Dong Xuebing gave them a hint in his first sentence, and the next sentence was telling them to abide by the law. This was to prevent getting himself into trouble if any of the hooligans were severely injured. After all, he had told the officers to charge them according to the law, and he was not involved in beating up the hooligans.

After the incident at Senior Xie’s villa, Dong Xuebing had gotten better in the way he speaks.

After Liu Dahai and his men left with the hooligans, Dong Xuebing smiled/ “Xiao Jin, those hooligans will be detained for some time. Are you feeling better now?”

Tang Jin asked excitedly. “Brother! You are terrific! Why are they so scared of you?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Haha, you should ask them this question. They are the ones who failed in their duties.”

Luan Xiaoping and the rest did not say anything earlier. But after all the officers left, Luan Xiaoping pulled her son’s arm and asked. “Xiao Bing, why are they calling you Chief Dong? Why are you their Chief now?” Second Aunt, her husband, and the rest were looking at Dong Xuebing. They still could not figure out what happened.

Dong Xuebing patted his mother’s hand. “Mum, I told you previously that I might be transferred to another place. The transfer order was issued, and I am now our County’s Public Security Deputy Bureau Chief.”

Luan Xiaoping was surprised. “Public Security? Deputy Bureau Chief? Our county?”

“Yes. I made use of some connections and finally got the transfer.” Dong Xuebing made it sound simple. But only he knows how difficult it was to get this position. He almost ended his career.

Dong Xuebing’s Uncle’s cigarette fell onto the ground. “Ah! This…… This……”

Second Aunt was also stunned. “Xiao Bing, you are so young… How did you…”

Dong Xuebing’s First Aunt and Uncle’s wife looked at each other. They could see the fear and shock in each other eyes.

Everyone does not believe this. Yan Tai County’s Public Security had never had a Deputy Bureau Chief below the age of 30 in the past. Dong Xuebing was only 23. But the attitude of Liu Dahai and the officers towards Dong Xuebing proved this was true. Dong Xuebing had become a somebody now!

Luan Xiaoping was the happiest. Never in her dreams, she had expected her son to become a high-ranking official. She could finally hold her head high in front of her relatives.

Tang Jin hugged Dong Xuebing excitedly and walked around him, looking at him from head to toe. “Brother! You are the Deputy Bureau Chief now! My brother is the Deputy Bureau Chief! Hahaha! If anyone dares to bully me in the future, I will ask you to arrest them!”
