C.1188: Try beating up someone with these injuries!

Along a secluded small road.

“Thank you, Mayor Dong.”

“How are you feeling? You looked pale.”

“Yes. I am feeling unwell after moving so much earlier.”

“Huh? You should lie down for a while. I will help you into the car.”

“Thank you. I am at my limits.”

Dong Xuebing did not force himself. Chen Xiaomei and Yan Yizhi helped him into the car and let him lie in the backseat.

Jiang Fangfang said. “The cast on your leg is broken.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “It’s fine. I can make another cast after we are back in our County.”

Jiang Fangfang said. “Leave the rest to me. Rest well.”

Dong Xuebing said. “It’s fine, Mayor Jiang. I will be fine after some rest.”

Police sirens got nearer.

Zhen Shui County’s policemen arrived.

“Are we there yet?”

“Yes. We are nearby.”

“Eh, there are a few cars in front.”

“I see people too.”

The County Party Secretary Meng Rui and Public Security Bureau Chief Chu Peng looked anxiously.

“There is blood on the ground, Secretary Meng.”

“Oh no! People are lying on the ground.”

“Drive faster!”

The policemen, Yao Cui and Office Director Ma Bing, had caught up with the police cars and saw the scene.

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat. They knew something terrible had happened.

Mayor Jiang, Chief Yan, and the rest were surrounded by almost twenty villagers when they called the County for help. Now, there’s blood on the ground, and a few people lay on the ground motionless. Their first thought was Mayor Jiang, Mayor Dong, and the rest were attacked and seriously injured.

Yao Cui turned pale. “Director Ma, faster!”

Ma Bing was not looking good too. He panicked. “Shit… shit…. This is serious….”

A County Mayor was attacked, and they don’t know if she is injured or dead.

The Mayor is the County’s number two. Can there be anything more severe than this?

“How dare they attack them?”

“Are Mayor Jiang and the rest alright?”

“Stop talking and call for an ambulance.”

The policemen were furious. That is their County’s Mayor!

The police cars sped over and stopped around the scene. Secretary Meng and Chief Chu got out of their cars immediately. Yao Cui and the rest of the policemen also ran over.

“Mayor Jiang!”

“Mayor Jiang!”

Everyone’s first reaction was to look at the people on the ground. They wanted to see if Jiang Fangfang or Dong Xuebing were among them. Surprisingly, they did not recognize any of the people on the ground.

Huh?

Where… where are they?

Jiang Fangfang, Chen Xiaomei, and the rest exited one of the cars.

“Mayor Jiang!”

“Are you all right?”

“Err…. Old Yan, is everything ok?”

“Secretary Zhang, are you all hurt?”

Everyone was shocked when they saw Jiang Fangfang and the others in clean clothes without any signs of being attacked.

Jiang Fangfang walked over to Meng Rui and the policemen.

Jiang Fangfang nodded to Meng Rui and Chu Peng.

Meng Rui asked. “Are you all right?”

“I am fine.” Jiang Fangfang calmly replied. “We are uninjured.”

Meng Rui was relieved. “Great.” He looked at the people on the ground. “Are these the villagers who attacked you all?”

Jiang Fangfang nodded.

Yao Cui walked over quickly. “Chief Chen, where’s Mayor Dong?”

Chen Xiaomei pointed to that car. “Mayor Dong is fine, but he is still injured.”

Dong Xuebing saw what happened outside and sat up slowly. He wanted to escape the car, but Chen Xiaomei quickly stopped him. He sat in the car and greeted the people outside. “Secretary Meng, Chief Chu. Oh, Xiao Yao and Old Ma are here too.”

Everyone was relieved when they saw Dong Xuebing was fine.

Luckily everyone is fine. They got a fright when they saw the blood on the ground.

Suddenly, they realized a problem. What happened to these villagers?

Infighting?

Impossible.

Suddenly, police sirens sounded.

Two police cars from the local police station stopped in front of them. The first to get out of the car was the Police Chief, Leng Gang, followed by the other officers.

They were shocked by the scene.

This….

What happened?

The policemen from both sides stared at each other.

Zhen Shui County’s policemen stared at the local policemen angrily.

Leng Gang took a deep breath and said. “We received a report that someone is extorting money on this road, and I am here to check. Why are you all….”

Meng Rui looked at him and sarcastically said. “You all are here in time.”

Leng Gang ignored Meng Rui and did not ask who they were. He turned to the middle-aged villager standing next to the tractor.

The middle-aged villager saw Leng Gang, and he almost cried with joy. “Chief Leng, they….”

Leng Gang stared at him. “It’s you all again! How many times have we all caught you? Why are you extorting money again?”

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

“Shut up! Bring him back!”

Two policemen walked over to arrest him.

The middle-aged man looked nervous, but he was relieved. He knew Leng Gang was trying to protect him.

Leng Gang looked at the villagers on the ground and turned to the Zhen Shui County’s officers. “We are busy today and have arrived here late. But you are not our County’s officers, and I don’t recall any joint operations today.” He checked a fainted villager’s injuries and said. “He is seriously injured. How can you all do this to them? What are you all trying to do?” He did not expect Zhen Shui County officers beat up these villagers in his County.

A Zhen Shui County official said. “We did these to them? We arrived one minute before you all. Stop accusing us!”

Leng Gang looked at that officer. “You all did not beat up these villagers? Who is it then?”

Another Public Security Bureau leader said. “Stop staring at us! You all arrived more than half an hour after receiving the report. Who are you to question us?”

“These people had stopped our County Government’s cars to extort money. What are you all doing?” Another leader added. All Zhen Shui County officers held higher ranks than Leng Gang. Their counties were at odds for years, and the officers knew each other.

“Chief Leng, shouldn’t you give us an explanation for today’s incident?”

Leng Gang replied. “I can take responsibility for what happened today, as it happened in our jurisdiction. Our County will deal with these people, but you all should not beat up these people! How can police officers use unnecessary force on these villagers?” He was worried when he came because this incident involved Zhen Shui County’s leaders, and he arrived very late. However, he saw the villagers were seriously injured and dared to question Zhen Shui County’s officers. After all, police officers are not allowed to beat up other people.

Zhen Shui County’s Public Security Bureau laughed.

We had hit those villagers? We also want to know what happened.

The middle-aged villager, who was escorted to the police car, wiped the blood on his mouth. He said to Leng Gang. “Chief Leng…. It’s… it’s not them.”

“What? It’s not them?”

The villager looked towards the Land Rover and dared not say another word.

Zhen Shui County’s people were curious too. These villagers were on the ground when they arrived. What happened?

At least twenty to thirty people are needed to beat up so many, and Zhen Shui County is on bad terms with the neighboring County. Who helped Mayor Jiang?

Meng Rui ignored Leng Gang and looked at his secretary, Zhang Feng. “Xiao Zhang, what happened to these people?”

Zhang Feng replied. “It was Mayor Dong.”

Chu Peng blinked. “Mayor Dong? What happened to Mayor Dong?”

Yan Yizhi interrupted. “It was Mayor Dong who subdued them in self-defense.”

Meng Rui, Chu Peng, Leng Gang, and the rest were stunned.

“Mayor Dong did this?”

“Yes.”

“He did this by himself? Alone?”

“Err… yes.”

“He subdued almost twenty people by himself?”

“Err… yes.”

Meng Rui glanced at Dong Xuebing, wrapped in bandages and cast. He got mad and said to Zhang Feng. “Show me how you can beat up someone with those injuries!”

Everyone knows Mayor Dong got seriously injured when he tried to get back the money for the County. He suffered fractures all over his body and looked at his weak body now. He could not even land a blow on someone, let alone beat up almost twenty men.”

Zhang Feng could not explain. He could not do anything with those injuries, but Mayor Dong could. “It’s true, Secretary Meng.”

Meng Rui and Chu Peng did not believe him and looked at Jiang Fangfang.

Jiang Fangfang hesitated for a second and nodded. “Xiao Dong subdued them with one hand. His right hand’s injuries are not serious, and he can still move.”

They might not believe Zhang Feng, but the Mayor would not lie.

It’s Dong Xuebing!

Mayor Dong did this!

Everyone was shocked.

One hand….

Almost twenty men….

WTF?
