Chapter 1147: Bring them back!

Morning.

Outside of the Provincial capital.

The angrier Dong Xuebing was, he calmer he was. He looked out of the bus quietly.

Ring… ring… ring….

Dong Xuebing’s phone rang, and he answered.

“I am Jiang Fangfang.” Mayor Jiang said.

Dong Xuebing straightens his back. “Good morning, Mayor Jiang.”

Jiang Fangfang spoke slowly. “I heard you are back.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Yes. I just got off the plane and am on the long-distance bus now. I should arrive around 10.30 am.”

Jiang Fangfang asked slowly. “Why didn’t you tell me there’s no vehicle? I just heard about it and was about to ask Old Wang to pick you up. Wait for him.”

“I am on the bus now. Don’t trouble yourself.”

“Ok. Let’s talk after you are back.”

“Thank you, Mayor Jiang.”

Jiang Fangfang should be at home as there were firecrackers in the background. It would be weird if it were quiet as two families in the family quarters are getting married today.

They could not hear each other clearly and hung up after a while.

The two drunkards turned and looked at Dong Xuebing after he hung up.

“This guy just received a call from the Mayor!”

“Mayor Jiang should be Jiang Fangfang.”

“Haha… this guy knows how to brag.”

“That’s right. He knows how to act.”

“What is he doing on a long-distance bus if he can receive a call from the mayor?”

They spoke loudly, and everyone on the bus heard them. Everyone turned and looked at them.

This bus is going to Zhen Shui County, and most of the passengers are from there. They knew who the Mayor was and were amused. After all, Dong Xuebing was too young and looked like a student.

Dong Xuebing ignored them.

One of the drunkards said. “I hear Zhui Shui County is bustling today. Two County Party members’ children are getting married. It is a mess there. Haha…. We are going to enjoy a good show later.”

The other drunkard said. “I heard about it too.”

The first drunkard said. “Secretary Pu is going to embarrass himself. Deputy Secretary Zhang is the County’s Deputy Party Secretary and Secretary Meng’s man. All the Government staff should be attending Deputy Secretary Zhang’s banquet. Most of Mayor Jiang’s supporters will also not attend Secretary Pu’s banquet.”

“Why?”

“Don’t you know about it?”

“Tell me.”

“It’s simple. Mayor Jiang and her supporters will not want to offend Secretary Meng’s faction.”

“I disagree.”

“It’s the truth. Secretary Pu will not win against Deputy Secretary Zhang.”

“That’s right. Secretary Meng has the final say in our Zhen Shui County.”

“It’s more than having the final say. No one dares to oppose Secretary Meng in the county.”

Dong Xuebing glanced at them. These two drunkards know a lot.

Dong Xuebing knew many civilians liked to discuss politics, and he did not stop them.

However, these two drunkards went overboard.

“I heard Jiang Fangfang is very pretty.”

“That’s right. I saw her on TV. She is pretty.”

“I saw her on TV before and heard she is prettier in person. It’s a pity she became a widow at such a young age.”

“Haha…. Brother Sun, you claimed to be very charming. You should try your luck with Mayor Jiang. If you can get her, you don’t need to worry about anything for the rest of your life.”

“Haha…. Sure. I will try if I get the chance.”

“Let’s not talk about this.”

“What’s there to be scared?”

“Haha…. Didn’t you hear that guy speaking to Mayor Jiang on the phone?”

“He is bragging, and you believe? I can also claim ii know Secretary Meng.”

Dong Xuebing had been suppressing his anger with Zhang Wanshui and couldn’t be bothered by these two drunkards. However, they had gone overboard, and he could not take it anymore. He did not say anything and took out his phone to send a message to Yao Cui.

Beep…. Yao Cui replied immediately.

Yao Cui: I understand. I will do it immediately.

Dong Xuebing kept his phone and closed his eyes.

Half an hour….

One hour….

The long-distance bus enters Zhen Shui County and stops at a run-down bus terminal. The door opened, and the passengers started to get off the bus with their luggage.

The two drunkards stood up.

Dong Xuebing walked past them.

The younger drunkard was about to move when his companion stopped him.

The companion said. “Let him alight first. He knows Mayor Jiang.”

The younger drunkard laughed. “That’s right. I did not expect to meet someone like him on a bus.”

Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing and the two drunkards and continued to move out of the bus.

Two police cars appeared suddenly and stopped at the long-distance bus terminal surrounding the bus.

The passengers were shocked. What is going on? Is there a pickpocket on the bus?

A middle-aged man and a few policemen got out and looked around. The middle-aged man saw Dong Xuebing and walked over. “Mayor Dong.”

Dong Xuebing shook his hand. “Thank you.”

The middle-aged man replied. “No problem. It’s our duty. Where are they?”

Dong Xuebing pointed to the two stunned drunkards and said. “I still have something on. You all can carry on.”

“Let me send you.”

“No need.”

Dong Xuebing walked out of the bus terminal slowly.

The rest of the passengers were shocked when they heard “Mayor Dong.”

Mayor Dong?! The newly appointed Executive Deputy Mayor?!

The middle-aged man’s face changed after Dong Xuebing left. He stared at the two drunkards and waved his hand. “Bring them back!”

“Huh?!”

“Wait… wait….”

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

The drunkards panicked and sobered up.

The policemen ignored their cries and pinned the two drunkards down. They had said the wrong things and will be locked up for at least twenty-four hours.

The two drunkards' faces turned green. They finally realized the guy sitting behind them was a Deputy County Mayor.

The phone call with Mayor Jiang was real!

F**k! What is a Deputy County Mayor doing in a long-distance bus?!
