This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Su Yan.A young official.
He seemed quite ordinary in all aspects, with relatively healthy values.
This was Dong Xuebing’s evaluation and impression of Su Yan after a journey and the events that had occurred earlier. Dong Xuebing had a favorable impression of him because he dared to speak up at that critical moment, showing his identity and wanting to help the common people. His actions and intentions were why Dong Xuebing had a good impression of him. However, it was just a bit of goodwill. Dong Xuebing did not think much of this person; he was very ordinary in appearance, height, rank, and work capability. Such people were a dime a dozen in the bureaucracy, so Dong Xuebing did not pay much attention to them. However, when Dong Xuebing saw the deputy section chief of the county committee's secretariat, Su Yan, disregarding his identity as an official and fiercely beating up the black car driver, Dong Xuebing was quite surprised. He did not expect this seemingly refined official to act so directly. At that moment, Dong Xuebing's view of Su Yan changed.
This person is interesting!
This temper suits me!
He seems gentle, but is he tough?
These were not Dong Xuebing’s evaluations as a leader but merely from an observer’s perspective. Generally, leaders would not like such people, as subordinates who cannot control their emotions and fail to remain calm in significant matters give off an impression of political immaturity. In such situations, as a public servant and an official, there are better ways to handle things than resorting to violence. Although Su Yan’s position as a deputy section chief was not high-ranking, and his treatment was only that of a deputy section chief, he still held an official status. And to beat someone so severely, with the black car driver lying on the ground with a swollen face and still cursing, was unusual. Ordinary leaders would not appreciate such a person; having him around would not be reassuring.
Yet, Dong Xuebing liked him!
Because he was never an ordinary leader!
At this point, Dong Xuebing approached and took another look at Su Yan.
Su Yan had stopped beating the black car driver, who was now lying on the ground with a swollen face, crying and cursing.
“You dare... hit me? Damn it!” The black car driver, unyielding, no longer cared about the official’s status and was not afraid of him.
Su Yan, still enraged, shouted back, “Bastard! I’ve tolerated you for a long time! I tried to talk to you nicely and reason with you! But you still wouldn’t listen? You even grabbed women, children, and elderly people and tried to steal their wallets in front of the police and so many people? You’re asking for it! I’ll beat you up, so you know who’s in charge!”
The black car driver, though cowardly, had become emboldened after seeing Dong Xuebing kick away and leave his companion behind. Once the police arrived, he started to act recklessly. He did not expect Su Yan to confront him, which only made him angrier physically.
Su Yan took a few deep breaths, and after beating the driver, his anger subsided. He turned to the woman and child, asking, “Are you okay?”
The crying woman thanked him repeatedly, “Thank you, thank you.”
Su Yan patted the crying child’s head and said, “No need to thank me. Anyone would do the same when faced with such a situation. These black car drivers are the worst!”
At this moment, everyone noticed that Dong Xuebing had arrived, and they were stunned. Didn’t he just get taken away by the police in the patrol car? How did he come back? But when Su Yan and the others looked toward the patrol car, which was not far away, they were all dumbfounded! They saw one policeman glaring at Dong Xuebing while two other policemen were crouched on the ground, attending to the injured and making phone calls for help. Looking at the injuries of the two lying policemen, Liu Xing was in slightly better condition, having regained consciousness, but the young officer was still unconscious, his mouth full of blood, his face disfigured, with a clear sign of fractures and severe injuries. There were also many bloody teeth scattered on the ground, making the scene extremely gruesome.
Even a fool could understand now!
So that young man just now beat up the police?
Su Yan and a few of the onlookers were a bit dizzy. Damn, are you crazy??
But Dong Xuebing, standing there, showed no guilt or nervousness. Instead, he appeared quite composed. He didn’t feel he had done anything wrong. After all, the police had been the ones to use the baton against him first; it was only natural for Dong Xuebing to retaliate. He was not a pushover; he wasn’t easy to handle.
The black car driver suddenly shouted, “Help! Assault!”
Several policemen had seen the situation earlier but had ignored it. They had pretended not to see because the black car people were friends of their superior, so they had turned a blind eye to it. Even the black car driver bullying ordinary people was ignored. But now? Someone had stepped up, someone had acted heroically, and it was even a young official from the agency. If the police went over now and arrested Su Yan, the impact would be too severe. Besides, Dong Xuebing, who had just beaten up Liu Xing and Xiao Wang, was still standing there. So, after weighing their options, the policemen chose not to take any action; they could only wait for reinforcements.
While they were silent, Dong Xuebing didn’t let up. Pointing at the onlookers, he loudly addressed the policemen, “Don’t tell me you still can’t see? When did a black car driver gain such authority? Driving illegal taxis, and your police do nothing; assaulting ordinary people, you police do nothing; robbing and extorting ordinary people’s belongings, and your police still do nothing? What are you here for? Huh? You’re supposed to maintain social order, not to act as a shield for criminals and oppress ordinary people!”
Disappointed!
Dong Xuebing was extremely disappointed in them!
But these policemen seemed unaware of their wrongdoing and did not see anything inappropriate. They completely ignored Dong Xuebing. One of the policemen angrily shouted, “So you’re assaulting the police, huh? Fine! Just wait! We’ll see who’s in the wrong!”
Dong Xuebing looked at him and said, “Don’t twist my words. Everyone saw how things unfolded. Turning a blind eye to criminals and arresting someone who’s acting heroically? You’re something! Assaulting the police? What if I did? I’d rather beat you all to death than deal with a police force that doesn’t arrest criminals but targets ordinary people!” The radio was still buzzing, and Dong Xuebing said, “No need to call for reinforcements. I said I’d go with you and will definitely go with you. You can’t stop me! Today, I will deal with this matter properly with you!”
