Chapter 824: Passing a message

The meeting ended, and everyone returned home.

Dong Xuebing stopped Liang Xuan after they left the meeting room. “Director Liang, are you going back? I can give you a lift.”

Liang Xuan smiled and pointed outside. “It’s fine. My husband is waiting for me outside.”

Dong Xuebing looked around and saw no one. He asked. “Sister Liang, I am new and have many questions to ask you.”

Liang Xuan’s face became serious, and she replied softly. “What is it?”

Dong Xuebing asked. “What is Secretary He’s intention of sending me to investigate Geng Yuehua? Do I need to get results? I mean, how deep do I need to dig?” He did not know the relationships among the City Commission for Discipline Inspection Committee Members and had no idea. Xie Huilan had reported to the City one day ago and did not know anything. So, he can only seek advice from Liang Xuan. He was afraid Secretary He and Chief Xiao were targeting Geng Yuehua.

Liang Xuan thought for a while and replied. “It will depend on the evidence. If we can find evidence proving she had received bribes, there’s nothing else to say. Even if Geng Yuehua had made significant contributions during the earthquake, we still have to charge her. But we can let it pass if we don’t have concrete evidence. I think the higher-ups will not go all out after her. After all, it was the City Party Committee who promoted her to be the District Party Secretary. She will be fine if she does not commit any grave offenses. Director Dong, I will not hide this from you. Our Commission for Discipline Inspection has received countless such reports. If we investigate every report thoroughly, we can’t do anything else. The City will also not allow us to do that. Haha…. Do you get what I mean?”

Every government leader will receive gifts during festivals. If the Commission for Discipline Inspection were to go after every one of them, it would be chaos.

Dong Xuebing understood. He had to work in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and more importantly, he got to work smart.

Dong Xuebing knew what to do after hearing Liang Xuan’s answer. He knew the higher-ups were not going after Geng Yuehua and were relieved.

“Thanks, Sister Xuan.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Oh, I am thinking of bringing Zhu Zhu with me to Nan Shan District. What do you think?”

Liang Xuan smiled. “Xiao Zhu had performed well, and it’s good for her to gain more experience.”

After Liang Xuan left, Dong Xuebing got into his Porsche and called Zhu Zhu. “Xiao Zhu, I am Dong Xuebing.”

Zhu Zhu quickly replied. “Good afternoon, Director Dong.”

“Are you resting at home? Our office had received a last-minute mission from the higher-ups. I am asking you to go to Nan Shan District with me to investigate Deputy District Mayor Zhang’s bribery case, and I might have to stay there for a few days. Please get ready. Oh, get one more person to go with us.”

“I have no problems with this, Director. Err…. Who should I call?”

“You decide. I will leave this to you.”

“Ok.’

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan.

“Hello.” Xie Huilan laughed. “Haha…. Are you coming back?”

Dong Xuebing replied wearily. “I think I can’t go back these few days. The Leader asked me to go to Nan Shan District to investigate some cases. I got to leave this afternoon.”

“Then go ahead.”

“Ok. Take care of yourself when I am not around. No one is going to cook for you. Call for food delivery if you are hungry.”

“Haha…. I don’t need you to teach me all these. Remember to use your brains when you encounter any problems. Don’t do whatever you want when you get hotheaded.”

“I know.”

“Good…. Hmm…. Kiss me.”

Dong Xuebing kissed the phone. “Did you hear that?”

“Yes, haha….”

“It’s your turn.”

“Oh, the water is boiling. I am hanging up.”

“Heh, you will not see me for a few days. Why can’t you kiss me?”

“The water is boiling, and I got to hang up. Watch out for your safety. Haha….”

Dong Xuebing hung up helplessly and made a mental note to reject Xie Huilan when she asked him to kiss her over the phone.

Dong Xuebing thought about Geng Yuehua’s case and started to frown.

It might not be too late to salvage this situation. Geng Yuehua might be in deep trouble if this was not handled well.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Dong Xuebing looked at his phone. He wanted to call Geng Yuehua, but his phone was monitored. He can’t call his investigation target directly as a Discipline Inspection Leader, which will get both of them into trouble.

That’s right. I can call her brother.

Dong Xuebing sat in his car and looked around before calling Geng Xinke. He did not expect to go against the regulations after a few days in the Discipline Inspection. But he does things without considering the consequences. He just does what he thinks is right and firmly believes Geng Yuehua will not receive bribes.

Ring… ring… ring….

Geng Xinke answered. “Hello, is this Director Dong? Congratulations on your promotion. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but I was afraid I might disturb you.”

Dong Xuebing ignored Geng Xinke’s pleasantries. “Secretary Geng, where are you?”

Geng Xinke was surprised by Dong Xuebing’s told. “It’s my off day today, and I am at home.”

Dong Xuebing lowered his voice. “Is there anyone beside you? Is it convenient to talk now?”

“My parents are at home with me, and it’s convenient. What is it….”

Dong Xuebing said quickly. “I am telling you this. The City Commission for Discipline Inspection received an anonymous report this morning about your sister receiving bribes. She has a China Construction Bank account with two million RMB inside. Do you know about this?”

Geng Xinke was shocked. “Impossible. Two million?! Where did she get so much money?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I also find this suspicious, but I can’t contact your sister now. I need you to remind her and ask her to settle it and find out what happened. I am in charge of this case and should be arriving in Nan Shan District this afternoon. It would be too late if she reacted after my men and I arrived. Inform her immediately and ask her to be prepared.”

Geng Xinke was sweating buckets, and he replied gratefully. “Thank you, Director Dong. I will tell my sister now.”

“Don’t mention it. Hurry up and call her.”

“Thank you.”

Geng Xinke knew this situation would be bad for his sister if she were caught off-guard, and Dong Xuebing was taking a considerable risk to inform him.
