Chapter 1561: Party Secretary is here

Noon.

Airport.

"Make way, make way!"

"Don't stare, don't block others!"

"What are you looking at? It's none of your business!"

Several police officers from the local police station, alongside airport staff, worked together to maintain order, clearing away unrelated onlookers.

Dong Xuebing provided the phone number.

Xu Xianglin also took note. "You guys handle the contact."

The deputy Chief of the police station said, "Let the airport handle it."

"Fine." Xu Xianglin dialed the number and made the call.

The other staff dispersed somewhat, leaving only a few individuals like Zheng Fei and Xu Dong behind. They glanced at Dong Xuebing, waiting to see his fate. Zheng Fei had already summoned people and wasn't planning to let Dong Xuebing off easily. Compensation and an apology were inevitable. If Dong Xuebing and his wife shows remorse and apologized to Zheng Fei, the matter could have been settled. Otherwise, Zheng Fei wouldn't hesitate to take harsher actions. He knew many people at the airport. With a few words, he could have Dong Xuebing taken to the police station. At least he wouldn't be leaving today, which could take up to twenty-four hours. That was Zheng Fei's plan, and Xu Xianglin and Xu Dong, who had grudges against Dong Xuebing, were even more determined. They wouldn't easily let him off the hook.

Ring, ring, ring.

The call connected.

"Hello?" Xu Xianglin answered.

"Who is this?" A woman's voice came from the other end.

Xu Xianglin's tone was assertive. "You're Dong Xuebing's wife, right?"

There was a pause. "Yes, who is this?"

Xu Xianglin's tone remained strong. "I'm Xu Xianglin from Xiaxing City Airport. Your husband is causing trouble at the airport, cursing and hitting people. He hasn't shown any remorse or willingness to apologize. The situation is dire, disrupting the airport's order. I've had the airport police station detain him. He said you work in Xiaxing City and that he came to see you. So, why don't you come over and deal with this matter? The family needs to come and pick him up."

The woman asked, "Is he injured?"

Xu Xianglin glanced at Dong Xuebing. "He's not injured."

The woman's voice remained calm. "I'm asking if any of you are injured."

Xu Xianglin was taken aback. He thought, Why is she asking that? Shouldn't she be asking if her husband is okay first? Instead, she's asking about others. "One of the comrades who had a conflict with him got his hand twisted. Please come over immediately."

The woman replied casually, "I'm short on time. Just tell me what happened."

Xu Xianglin snorted, feeling annoyed. "You might be short on time, but we're not. I called to inform you to come to the airport, not to negotiate. It's hard to explain over the phone. Just come. If you don't, your husband won't be leaving today."

The woman responded elegantly, "Is that so?"

Xu Xianglin, feeling impatient, said, "What do you mean ‘is that so'? Can't you understand what I'm saying? Your husband got into a fight. You need to come and deal with it. Is that so hard to understand?" Xu Xianglin felt he couldn't communicate properly with the woman on the other end.

"What's going on, Director Xu?" the deputy chief from the police station asked.

Xu Xianglin handed over the phone. "Old Zhou, you talk to her."

The deputy director nodded, took the phone, and said sternly, "You're Dong Xuebing's family, right? This is the police station at the airport. Come immediately." After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned to Xu Xianglin, gesturing with his mouth, "You don't need to be polite to these kinds of family members. I've dealt with many of them."

Xu Xianglin chuckled.

Xu Dong also found it quite amusing.

But what left many people speechless was that Dong Xuebing, sitting there, also couldn't help but chuckle and even shrugged his shoulders.

Seeing his behavior, Zheng Fei became furious. "Be serious," he said.

Dong Xuebing looked at him and said, "You're also involved. What's with all the yelling? When did you become the police station Chief? Your voice is getting louder. Are you taking throat lozenges for your sore throat now?"

A few bystanders in the distance couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hey," Zheng Fei pointed at Dong Xuebing's nose. "This guy knows how to provoke."

Xu Xianglin said, "Director Zheng, don't bother with him. He's always been like this. Just sit tight and wait for his wife to come and deal with this."

Dong Xuebing said, "But as I said, my wife is quite busy. I don't know when she can come. And regardless of whether she comes, my demands remain the same: That guy named Zheng Fei must apologize to me and retrieve my bag, clean the soil off it. Also, Director Xu and Deputy Chief Zhou, the situation was clear from the beginning. I don't believe any surveillance camera footage shows who started the fight. But as soon as you arrived, you took sides, favoring that person named Zheng. You took measures against me while fawning over him. I find it incomprehensible and infuriating. You owe me an apology. These are my demands. After you fulfill them, I'll leave. Otherwise, you don't need to control me, and these two police officers don't need to hover around me. I'm telling you clearly if I don't get the apology I want, I won't leave no matter who tells me to."

Furious but amused, Zheng Fei said, "Fine, then stay. I'm also telling you clearly, if you don't apologize to me, don't even think about leaving the airport."

Dong Xuebing, instead, seemed pleased. "You're going to keep me here? Please do." He extended his hand to them and said, "It would be even better if you put handcuffs on me. It looks more imposing."

Everyone else: “……”

What kind of person is this?

How can someone be so shameless?

There's a saying in Beijing that describes the character of most Beijingers, and Dong Xuebing embodies it perfectly.

He's just shameless.

He doesn't care about anything or anyone.

With his legs crossed, even surrounded by three or five police officers, being watched by the airport personnel in charge and eyed by five or six airport staff, Dong Xuebing exudes an aura of shamelessness. He seems even more imposing than others.

Zheng Fei frowned and whispered to Xu Xianglin, "What does he do?"

"He's just a small cadre, also a civil servant," Xu Xianglin whispered.

Deputy Chief Zhou smiled, "This kid has a Beijing accent, right? He grew up under the shadow of the imperial palace. People from there are different from others. He's still causing trouble at this point."

Xu Xianglin said, "That's all he knows how to do."

While waiting, they started chatting casually.

After about ten minutes, an airport staff member suddenly rushed over in a panic, out of breath. "Director Xu! Director Xu! Secretary Xie is at the entrance!"
