Power and Wealth

Chapter 961: Leak

Afternoon.

Xi Ping District.

Although the City Party Committee building is located within Xi Ping District, it is far from Third Middle School. There was no traffic when Dong Xuebing visited the school last night. But the traffic was heavy today, and they took a while to travel to the school. Dong Xuebing looked at the time and brought his team for lunch at a nearby restaurant.

In the restaurant.

“Eat up. I am buying.”

“Thank you, Director.”

“Director Dong, let us offer you a toast with tea.”

“Ok. Haha….”

The undercover investigation was only an excuse. Dong Xuebing’s real motive was to rescue people as the school building would collapse around 2 pm. It was still early, and there was no rush. He would not sit around after knowing many people would be injured and killed in the accident. He will save them, deal with the people in charge, and add this credit to his resume. This would also help Xie Huilan get into the Party Committee. For all these reasons, he must do his best. You don’t get such opportunities every day.

Everyone started to eat.

It was a feast, and the food was not cheap.

Many people know Dong Xuebing would pay from his pocket when treating his colleagues and never ask for reimbursement from the unit. Because he was paying, he did not care about the prices.

Among the staff members, Fei Fan and Zhu Zhu were close to Dong Xuebing. They got to know each other better after attending the previous mission. Another member is Ning Shaoyang. Dong Xuebing did not know him well and only knew he was close to Deputy Director Liu Hanqing. Luo Haiting should not pick him; it should be Liu Hanqing who brought him along.

Dong Xuebing glanced at Liu Hanqing.

After Liu Hanqing’s Toyota Crown crashed, his father was forced to retire after being investigated and stopping his promotion. He had been very quiet. Dong Xuebing knew Liu Hanqing hated him, but he didn’t mind. He brought him here to stop rumors of him suppressing him. He also dislikes seeing him relaxing in the office while everyone else is working.

They left the restaurant after lunch.

Dong Xuebing announced. “Leave the cars here, and we will walk there. It’s not far.”

Zhu Zhu asked. “Director, what is this mission about? What should we look out for?”

“We are here to understand the situation.” Dong Xuebing said. “You all can pretend to be teachers or other identities. Our main task is determining which leader is close with the construction company and checking the construction material. Xiao Fei, I remember you studied construction at university. Take note and look out for any issues.”

Fei Fan quickly nodded. “Yes.”

Deputy Mayor Feng tried to downplay the anonymous report despite Xie Huilan suggesting an investigation. He would not send anyone to investigate, and Dong Xuebing had to do it himself. Although this is not the Discipline Inspection’s job, they are here to investigate if there are any illegal transactions between the construction company, suppliers, and the leaders. Dong Xuebing is in charge, and his men cannot oppose him.

They set off for the school.

They reached Xi Ping Third Middle School around fifteen minutes later.

“Alright, be alert.” Dong Xuebing instructed.

Zhuzhu and Fei Fan had done an undercover investigation in their first year of service. These jobs were usually given to new staff members as it was tiring. They knew what to do. Liu Hanqing and Ning Shaoyang did not say anything and entered the school.

“Eh, what are you all doing?” A security guard stopped them.

Zhuzhu replied. “We are from the Third Middle School. We are here to check on the progress.”

The security guard blinked. “Third Middle School? How come I did not see you before?”

Zhuzhu replied. “This is our first time here.”

The security guard refused to let them in. “This is a construction site, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.”

Liu Hanqing frowned. “Why can’t we enter our school? I don’t care if you have met us before or not. The principal asked me to check on the progress. Does he need your approval?!”

The security guard kept quiet.

Liu Hanqing ignored him and led everyone in.

The security guard thought for a while and did not stop them.

Dong Xuebing nodded. Putting their personal grudges aside, Old Liu is still good at his job. He is better and knows his way around than Zhuzhu and Fei Fan. Dong Xuebing did not follow them and sat at a teahouse along the roadside. It’s still early, and he doesn’t need to go in. His men could handle the fieldwork, and he did not need to do everything himself.

The tea smells nice, but it’s not new tea.

Dong Xuebing crossed his legs and felt being a leader was good. He can delegate everything to his subordinates.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing saw a familiar face from the corner of his eyes. Around five or six people were following behind.

“Mayor Feng, this is Third Middle School.”

“Let’s go and check on the progress.”

Huh? Fen Zhou City Deputy Mayor Feng Jie?! Why is he here?

Dong Xuebing knew the news of his undercover investigation was leaked.

Feng Jie did not see Dong Xuebing and entered the school with his men. ????n????????ea????. ????????????

The security guard was about to stop them, but he stopped when he saw a man behind Feng Jie. “District Mayor Chu.”

District Mayor Chu should be a Deputy District Mayor. He waved the guard aside.

The people behind Feng Jie should be Xi Ping District’s leaders or government staff accompanying him.

Dong Xuebing put down his teacup. Huilan told him Deputy City Mayor Feng would send someone, and he should not be there. He should have heard the Discipline Inspection was going to conduct an undercover investigation and came here to stop them. This was a critical period for him to enter the City Party Committee, and he didn’t want any trouble. Xie Huilan suggested an investigation into the rebuilding quality made him realize this was a crisis, and Dong Xuebing was her husband. Dong Xuebing would launch an investigation as a Commission for Discipline Inspection leader.

F**k! You are here to create more trouble.

Dong Xuebing was frustrated and wondered who had leaked the news.

He remembered Deputy Secretary Zhan reported to Secretary He, and it was no surprise for Feng Jie to know about it.

As for that Deputy District Mayor Chu….

Could he be the person in charge of this rebuilding project?

It should be related to him as he is here with Feng Jie.

Dong Xuebing quickly entered the school after they entered. The security guard thought Dong Xuebing was with them and let him in.

In the field.

Liu Hanqing, Zhuzhu, Fei Fan, and the rest looked around the unfinished school building.

Deputy City Mayor Feng Jie saw them and said. “Eh, are you Xiao Liu from the City Commission for Discipline Inspection?”

Liu Hanqing and the rest turned and saw them. “Mayor Feng.”

Feng Jie frowned. “Why is the Discipline Inspection done here in Third Middle School? Are you all investigating any staff?”

Deputy District Mayor looked terrible as he looked at Liu Hanqing. “Director Liu, why didn’t you inform us before coming? We can facilitate and make arrangements. This is a construction site, and there’s nothing to see here.”

Zhuzhu, Fei Fan, and Ning Shaoyang exchanged looks.

Liu Hanqing did not know what to say as he did not expect to see Deputy City Mayor Feng there.

This was supposed to be an undercover investigation, but their identities were exposed. Even the local government knows about them.

Dong Xuebing was furious when he saw Deputy City Mayor Feng and Deputy District Mayor Chu questioning his men. F**k! You all are government staff and should know we are conducting an undercover investigation. Yet, you all are still questioning our men?! What’s the meaning of this?! You all are trying to disrupt our investigation!

F**k you!

Dong Xuebing stormed forward and walked past Feng Jie and Deputy District Mayor Chu. He looked at Liu Hanqing and the other staff members. “You all are working now. Stop talking. Do you all have to reply to any Tom, Dick, or Harry?! Carry on with your work now!” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Tom, Dick, or Harry?!

Feng Jie, Deputy District Mayor Chu, and their men were shocked and furious.
