One o'clock in the afternoon.

The Audi passed the last sentry post and exited the Military District. Looking at the complex expressions of the several sentries in the rearview mirror, Dong Xuebin turned his head and said to the Middle School Students, "Alright, now it's completely safe."

Chao Chao immediately cheered, "Oh! That's great!"

A male classmate also opened his arms and said, "Finally saved!"

The female classmate immediately said to Xu Yan, "Thank you, Aunt Xu. If you hadn't come, we wouldn't know how long we would have been locked up."

"Thank you, Aunt Xu."

"Thank you."

The other classmates echoed in succession.

Xu Yan waved her hand, "Thank your Uncle Dong, it's all thanks to him this time."

Seeing this, Chao Chao had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Uncle Dong... Uncle Dong."

Since Xu Yan had spoken, they had to call him 'Uncle' whether they wanted to or not.

Dong Xuebin waved his hand, continuing to steer the car, and said, "No need to thank me, but I have to say a few words to you guys. The local connections run deep, and you never know whose family member someone is, so you still need to be careful when doing things. Even if that Liu Haibin, um, the person you hit, was wrong, you still shouldn't have resorted to Hands-on, what's that like? This time, it's lucky that Big Sister Xu and I are both in Ma Yang County and could help you. Otherwise, how much would you have suffered? Am I right?" Seeing them nod, Dong Xuebin said, "Consider this a lesson, and don't be so impulsive in the future."

Don't be so impulsive?

Hearing these words from Dong Xuebin's mouth, Xu Yan couldn't help but find it a little funny.

The female classmate said, "Uncle Dong, we understand."

The male classmate said, "It's all my fault, I couldn't help but Hands-on first, mainly because that person was too annoying."

"Learn from your mistakes, and be more careful next time." But after saying this, Dong Xuebin's tone changed, "Next time you encounter something like this, call me directly, and I'll take care of him. Sometimes, you don't necessarily have to Hands-on to deal with someone, there are plenty of tricks!"

Xu Yan said helplessly, "Little Dong." Isn't this teaching the children to be bad?

Dong Xuebin coughed and said, "I won't say anymore, well, are you all hungry? Let's go, let's find a place to eat."

Chao Chao immediately shouted, "I want to eat barbecue!"

Dong Xuebin smiled, "Alright! Barbecue it is!"

Chao Chao was extremely eager, but recalling what had just happened, Chao Chao still felt very excited and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Dong, why didn't they stop us just now? There were so many of them, wouldn't it have been difficult to stop us? They were all holding Guns!"

Another male classmate also said, "Yeah, I saw them shouting fiercely before, saying that no one could leave, but why didn't they say anything in the end?"

This was a question they were all very concerned about, and they couldn't help but look at Dong Xuebin.

Dong Xuebin didn't know what to say, "Well, that..."

Xu Yan said with a smile, "Those soldiers heard your Uncle Dong's name."

Chao Chao was stunned, "Uncle Dong's name? Is that very scary?"

Xu Yan smiled slightly, "Your Uncle Dong once single-handedly fought off a Northeast Tiger, single-handedly dealt with dozens of die-hard resisters of forced demolition, held up a wall weighing over a ton with his bare hands, was buried under the ruins for more than ten days after an earthquake and was still fine, was the only survivor of a plane crash, and even single-handedly shot dead nine escaped prisoners while handcuffed. He also once single-handedly shot dead a dozen or twenty thieves who were stealing cultural relics from the Provincial Museum under a hail of bullets. Do you think they would dare to lay a hand on you if they heard your Uncle Dong's name?"

Chao Chao and several classmates were dumbfounded, "Huh?"

Xu Yan smiled, "Although there are twenty of them, they all know in their hearts that even if they all went up together, they wouldn't be a match for your Uncle Dong, so they behaved themselves."

Chao Chao exclaimed, "Uncle Dong, you, you're so amazing?"

Dong Xuebin hurriedly said modestly, "No, no, everyone is exaggerating the rumors too much, which has made me a bit infamous. It's not as exaggerated as they say."

Xu Yan laughed, "Don't be so modest, kid. What's your Combat Strength? Is there anyone in Fenzhou City who doesn't know about it now? Hmm?"

Chao Chao and that male classmate immediately got excited, "Uncle Dong, can you really fight dozens of people alone? Damn, that's too much!"

"No, no." Dong Xuebin said embarrassedly, "Everyone is just flattering me."

Xu Yan looked at him, "This time, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, my son and the others wouldn't have come out so quickly, and they wouldn't have let them go so easily. Similarly, I'm also a little sorry. This was originally a family matter, but it dragged you into it. It originally had nothing to do with you, and you didn't need to get involved in this mess. Now that this has happened, Commander Liu will probably hold this against you and may already have ideas about you. If he reports to the higher-ups about you interfering with their work in the Military District, I'm afraid you'll be affected. How about this, I'll talk to Commander Liu face-to-face tomorrow and explain things."

Xu Yan's words made sense. It was only natural for Big Sister Xu to go to the Military District to demand people, because her son was in there. It was reasonable in terms of both emotion and logic. But Dong Xuebin also got involved, which Commander Liu might see as nosy and meddling. He might transfer the hatred from Xu Yan and her son to Dong Xuebin.

But did Dong Xuebin care?

He had offended too many people. One more or one less didn't matter!

Dong Xuebin immediately said, "Don't go, you've paid the medical 'medicine' fees and shown your attitude. Now it's that Liu Guowei who's not giving us face. If you go again, it'll be too humiliating, absolutely not. Don't worry about my affairs. If that Liu Guowei wants to move against me, am I supposed to be afraid of him? Nonsense! I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve. I'm waiting for him. Don't worry about this little thing!"

"But..." Xu Yan wanted to say something.

Dong Xuebin interrupted, "No buts, he can't touch me!" The Power of Time and Wealth 998

Hearing this, Xu Yan didn't say anything more, "Anyway, thank you, Little Dong."

"You're too polite, it's nothing."

Dong Xuebin thought to himself, We've already slept together, what's with all the thanking? We're all family. Your son is also my son. You're being too polite. Of course, with these juniors present, Dong Xuebin definitely couldn't say that. Uh, actually, even if it was just Xu Yan alone now, Dong Xuebin wouldn't dare to say that. Xu Yan had finally stopped dwelling on the drunken 'sex' incident, and Dong Xuebin didn't dare to mention it again. But he knew in his heart that he was so concerned about Big Sister Xu's affairs, and Xu Yan probably understood why.

Along the way, Chao Chao and the others asked about Dong Xuebin's glorious deeds with great interest, "Uncle Dong, how did you fight that Northeast Tiger?"

Dong Xuebin brushed it off with a few words, "I just fought it like that."

"Are you an official now? What level are you?"

"Uh, Deputy Director Level, now with Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office One."

"Ah? You're already Deputy Director Level at such a young age? My mom is only at the Full Director Level!"

"Big Sister Xu went up step by step, I relied on luck, can't compare."

Chao Chao and the others were extremely interested in Dong Xuebin and immediately grabbed him, asking all sorts of questions.

Before long, the car stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant. Dong Xuebin told everyone to get out of the car. After entering, he didn't care about what they could eat and ordered a dozen plates of barbecue in one go. Since Big Sister Xu's son wanted to eat, Dong Xuebin naturally had to treat them to their heart's content!

As soon as the dishes were served, they started grilling themselves.

At this moment, Dong Xuebin's phone rang.

Seeing that it was Xie Huilan calling, Dong Xuebin immediately excused himself and went to the entrance of the restaurant to answer the phone, "Hui Lan, the matter is resolved, don't worry about it."

"I know it's resolved, but you stormed the Military District?"

"Hey, why do you put it so harshly? I didn't storm anything."

"Is that so? Hehe, but what I heard was different?"

"Let me tell you, I really didn't lay a HAND on anyone this time. Those guys have some sense of dice, knowing they couldn't beat me, they simply shut up. I was very mindful of the impact."

"You shouldn't have gone this time. What did you go for?"

Dong Xuebin couldn't explain it clearly to Xie Huilan, "Big Sister Xu is my old leader. She took special care of me before. How could I not help when she's in trouble?"

"Alright, your Sister Xie doesn't want to lecture you anymore. It's good that no fight broke out. But you better have a bottom line in your heart. I think Liu Guowei's side might have some ideas about us."

"I know, let him have ideas! Am I supposed to care about him? This matter is entirely due to his lack of magnanimity, clinging to one thing like a young girl and not listening to anything. Who can he blame? He can only blame himself for not handling things well and not knowing how to behave! He spoils his son too much! That's why things blew up! You didn't see how those kids were beaten by those soldiers! Their faces were swollen! He better not hate me. If he dares to settle accounts with me, I'd like to settle accounts with him! Who's afraid of who? I'll torment him to death!"

"Here you go again, aren't you? I'm telling you to be careful."

"I understand. Anyway, I should be leaving tomorrow. The inspection in Ma Yang County is over. By then, even if he wants to find me, he won't be able to. Don't worry, I won't confront him head-on unless absolutely necessary, alright? Of course, in principle, I still can't back down. I still have to investigate his son Liu Haibin's lifestyle and work issues! This kind of person should have been purged from the system long ago! Absolutely can't let him off lightly!"

"Well, it's good as long as you know what you're doing."

"I know what I'm doing."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin went back to continue eating.

In fact, at the same time, many versions of the story about Dong Xuebin breaking into the Military District to demand people had already spread in Fenzhou City. Many people sighed deeply after hearing it. The Plague God is indeed the Plague God. Even on a business trip for inspection, he can stir up a bunch of trouble!

Just finished arguing with the Municipal Party Secretary.

Just finished arguing with Deputy Mayor Feng.

Now he's confronted the Commander of the Military District??

Are you trying to offend everyone you can!?
