Chapter 1392: Chenggang County is facing disaster

Officials and police officers looked in shock at Mayor Li Zhixin, who was screaming in pain with both eyes blinded. On the street, the common people stared in astonishment at the now-ruined new County Party Committee building.

It collapsed.

The building had collapsed.

Many people couldn\'t believe it.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Call an ambulance!"

"Save Mayor Li first!"

Deputy Mayor Wang, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, snapped back to reality. He hurriedly stood up and ran towards Li Zhixin, who was on the ground shouting and covering his eyes. Meanwhile, Dong Xuebing, standing in the distance, checked his remaining time with MENU. Seeing the planned landing points for the glass fragments, he noticed he had only eight seconds remaining. However, it was sufficient for Dong Xuebing, who silently uttered "STOP."

One second

Three seconds

Five seconds

After eight seconds, Dong Xuebing was back in his original position.

However, Deputy Mayor Wang, who was running just twenty meters ahead, stumbled and fell, despite there being no obstacles under his feet. Due to the inertia, he flew out, and with a muffled sound, his head hit the rear trunk of a car. It seemed like his forehead was slightly dented, and with a groan, Deputy Mayor Wang fainted on the ground, blood oozing from his head.

" Mayor Wang!"

"Oh no!"

"What\'s happening?"

"Quick, save him!"

Another person was severely injured.

Both were the highest-ranking officials present.

This added another layer of chaos to the scene. With such a big mess, everyone\'s attention naturally shifted elsewhere, and no one noticed Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing looked carefree. Having finished these actions, he strolled back to the hotel, went upstairs to his room, and lit a cigarette. While smoking, he observed the chaos below. The people from Cheng Gang County caused these troubles, and he had no sympathy for them. He himself was still an official, and Huilan was even a Deputy City Mayor. The people from Cheng Gang County could commit such actions, indicating they had no regard for laws and morals. Dong Xuebing could easily imagine the dire consequences if ordinary folks faced such an incident. Not only would they be unable to seek justice, but they might also be pressured to death by Cheng Gang County\'s leaders. Therefore, this bunch of scoundrels deserved this treatment. If they were not punished severely, they would never learn a lesson, continuing to oppress and exploit ordinary people. Dong Xuebing wouldn\'t let them off easily.

"Ah, my eyes!"

"Mayor Li, hold on!"

"The ambulance is on its way."

Shouts from the officials below were continuous, creating a chaotic scene. However, compared to the officials and police officers from Cheng Gang County, the expressions of the common people became somewhat nuanced after the initial shock. Even some people began to discuss the situation at a distance.

"It collapsed nicely."

"Yeah, they deserve it."

"Lower your voices, don\'t let anyone hear."

"What are you afraid of? They can do whatever they want, and we can\'t even say a word."

"Our county is already poor. Our living standards can\'t compare to other places. Many people can\'t even afford meals. But they, the County Leaders, don\'t care about us. They took our taxes and the subsidies from above to build a new County Party Committee office building, while the old building was fine. Why build something new? If our Countys economy level is good, it\'s fine. But our County is already poor, and they built it for themselves. It would be okay if they used half of it for road construction. I don\'t understand what these Leaders are thinking. Do they still care about us common folks?"

"That\'s right, it\'s good that it collapsed."

"This is karma."

"Moreover, there was no earthquake or anything. It collapsed for no reason. There must be something wrong with the building design or construction materials."

"Yeah, who knows how much they embezzled."

"Sigh, what kind of Leaders do we have in our county?"

The common people had long been dissatisfied with them, and the resentment had accumulated for too long.

Upstairs, Dong Xuebing heard this and shook his head slightly. They deserved this for their tough governing style. Look, even the people\'s hearts are gone.

The ambulance hadn\'t arrived yet.

They couldn\'t wait any longer. Several police officers immediately helped lift Li Zhixin and Deputy Mayor Wang onto the vehicle, heading straight to the County People\'s Hospital.

"Disperse!"

"Don\'t gather here."

"I\'m talking to you, step back."

People from the project committee and the police began to disperse the crowd. Their attitude remained irritating, and they were not polite to the common people.

The common people weren\'t happy either, and many didn\'t leave.

"We can\'t hear you!"

"We can\'t even stand across the street!"

"You can\'t tell us to step back!"

"I live in this building. I can\'t go home. What\'s the logic in this?"

"Is this what you call going home? You are not even entering the building. What nonsense are you talking about?"

A conflict arose between the common people and Cheng Gang County\'s officials.

Ring, ring, ring Dong Xuebing\'s phone rang. He answered it while watching the scene below.

"Hello."

"Where are you?"

"Huilan, I\'m still in Cheng Gang County. You\'ve returned to Fen Zhou City. What are the results of the hospital examination? Is our child okay?"

"Everything\'s fine. We did all the necessary examinations."

"That\'s good. How about you? Are you feeling better?"

"Hehe, I\'m much better now. I\'ve already returned home and didn\'t need to be hospitalized."

"Alright, I\'ll call my mom later to care for you for a few days."

"Stop troubling your mom. It\'s not appropriate. I am fine." Pausing momentarily, she continued, "By the way, don\'t tell anyone about my injury. My parents don\'t know, and your mother either. If they don\'t know, it\'s better, so they won\'t worry."

"Okay, I understand."

"How about you there?"

"Its resolved. I\'m preparing to go back."

"How did you resolve it?"

"The new County Party Committee building collapsed. Li Zhixin is blind, and Deputy Mayor Wang has a severe concussion. They brought this misfortune upon themselves." Dong Xuebing explained the situation to Xie Huilan in detail. Of course, he wouldn\'t admit that he was involved. That couldn\'t be said.

The call lasted for about ten minutes.

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing looked downstairs. The officials from Cheng Gang County were still arguing with the common people. Perhaps they had received orders or instructions as they were forcefully dispersed the crowd. Seeing this, Dong Xuebing chuckled, closed the window, and drew the curtains, too lazy to watch anymore. These people were quite amusing. Didn\'t they realize that Cheng Gang County was already in deep trouble? Still, they had the energy to confront the common people aggressively. Were they out of their minds?

Just wait.

The truth will be revealed shortly.
