Chapter 1230: Is his name Dong Xuebing?

Afternoon.

After 3 pm.

Hotel suite.

Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei helped Dong Xuebing to the couch. Zhang Longjuan threw the suitcase aside and went to get bandages to wipe his blood.

“You must go to the hospital.”

“I am fine, Ms. Zhang.”

“You should go to the hospital. Your injuries are too serious.”

“Haha… I will be fine after resting.”

“You brat… you will not recover by resting.” Zhang Longjuan wiped Dong Xuebing’s blood gently. “You were limping when you came, and all your wounds opened up now. You got more injuries after what happened today.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I have a good recovery.” 

Zhang Longjuan stopped persuading Dong Xuebing and assisted the twins in treating his wounds. They were shocked when they took Dong Xuebing’s top off to apply medicine. His chest was covered with injuries.

Dong Xuebing’s injuries were too severe.

He was covered in bruises and cuts.

They do not understand how he is still alive with those injuries and blood loss. How can he continue to chat and joke with them?

Dong Xuebing was not concerned with his injuries. He cannot be killed because he used REVERSE to recover those critical injuries. The remaining injuries were not severe to kill him.

Five minutes…

Ten minutes…

Twenty minutes…

All the wounds were treated.

Dong Xuebing said. “Sorry to trouble you all. Thank you.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I wonder what you are made of. I must find an opportunity to examine you closely.”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “I was careful not to be hit on my vital areas. That’s why I am fine.”

Shen Xiaomei rolled her eyes. She saw those metal poles bashing his head. How is this careful?

Shen Xiaomei looked at Dong Xuebing. “My sister had thanked you earlier. Mayor Dong, thank you for saving us. We thought you would be a burden to us with your injuries, but we ended up being your burdens. We will not forget how you save us, and we will repay this favor.”

Dong Xuebing waved. “Don’t mention it. Haha… I am not afraid of anything but of people treating me like this.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “All right. You are injured and should not talk so much. I will help you inside to rest.”

“Ok.”

“Help me, Xiaomei.”

Dong Xuebing was helped into his room to sleep.

Shen Xiaomei closed the door after going out of the room. Only the three women remained in the living room.

Shen Xiaomei could not hold back. She asked. “Ms. Zhang, who exactly is Xiao Dong?” Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zhang Longjuan. She was also curious.

Zhang Longjuan shrugged her shoulders. “Didn’t he say he is a civil servant?”

Shen Xiaomei was speechless. “Which civil servant has his skills? Have you seen any civil servant can remain so calm in that situation? Which civil servant can survive after getting knocked down by a truck? Which civil servant can use a gun like him? This is impossible! He is not an ordinary person.” She asked a lot of questions. She could not remain calm after seeing how Dong Xuebing handled those hooligans.

Shen Xiaoyan nodded. She agreed with her sister.

But Zhang Longjuan asked her back. “Then who do you think he is? I can prove he is a civil servant, and I don’t want you two to tell others about him. It will affect his work. He does not want to reveal his work because of this reason.”

Shen Xiaoyan asked. “He is an ordinary person?”

Zhang Longjuan nodded. “He is not what you imagine and is not from your side. He is considered an ordinary person.”

“But his skills… I think no one in the State Security is his match.” Shen Xiaomei said. “How can he be an ordinary person?”

Shen Xiaoyan added. “I am sure no one is his match. Maybe some people’s marksmanship is as good as his, and some have close combat skills like him. But no one can predict bullet trajectories and dodge bullets like him.”

Shen Xiaomei continued. “He did it with severe injuries.”

Shen Xiaoyan said. “I wonder how strong he is if he is not injured.”

The sisters finally believe the saying that there is always someone better.

“Let’s stop talking about Xiao Dong.” Zhang Longjuan said. “Today’s incident is not over yet. Shots were fired, and covering up will not be easy.”

“I understand. I will contact the higher-ups now.”

The phone suddenly rang.

Shen Xiaoyan looked at the number. “It is from the higher-ups.”

Zhang Longjuan reminded her. “Don’t mention Xiao Dong’s combat skill.”

Shen Xiaoyan hesitated and answered.

“Hello, it’s me.” A middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Shen Xiaoyan greeted. “Chief.”

That man said. “I heard something happened to you all. What is the situation now? What backup do you need? I will send them over now.”

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “It is settled. My sister is back safely.”

“Settled? So fast?” That man asked. “Is Ms. Zhang all right?”

“We are fine. Thanks to a friend helping us. But he injured around twenty hooligans badly. Guns were fired, and it seemed a mastermind was behind this incident. The police are also involved, and the mastermind should be called Liu Ye. I don’t know the details.” They did not go to Hong Kong to clash with the local triads. They had other missions and could not waste time on them. This is a top-secret mission. They have no support or colleagues to clear their tracks. That‘s why Shen Xiaoyan had to seek assistance from her higher-ups.

“Did anyone die?”

“I don’t think so, but they are all severely injured.”

“Ok. I will get someone to clean up. You don’t need to care about it. Just focus on your mission. I will contact you again.”

“Yes, Chief.”

“Oh, is that friend who helped you reliable?”

“I think so. He is Ms. Zhang’s friend and is quite good at combat.” Shen Xiaoyan said uneasily. Quite good at combat is an understatement, but she remembered Zhang Longjuan’s warning.

“What do you mean you think so?” The middle-aged man questioned.

Shen Xiaoyan thought for a while and said. “He is reliable. All three of us cannot return if he is not around. Almost all the hooligans were subdued by him.”

“By one person?”

“Huh? Yes.”

“Who is he? Something must be wrong with him for having such good combat skills.”

Shen Xiaoyan knew her Chief was very concerned with this mission. He should be afraid of spies appearing and disrupting their mission.

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “He should be an ordinary person with good skills.”

The middle-aged man replied slowly. “I don’t like your choice of words. How can you let him get close to you when you don’t know his background? Did you reveal anything about the mission?”

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “No. He does not know we are working on a mission.”

The middle-aged man replied. “Ok. Report to me directly in this mission. I don’t need to remind you how important this mission is. Is that man beside you all?”

“No.”

“Where is he?”

“He is resting in the room. He is injured.”

“Ok. Tell me his name and particulars. I will check his background.”

Zhang Longjuan and Shen Xiaomei were beside Shen Xiaoyan. They could hear everything.

Zhang Longjuan looked at Shen Xiaoyan.

Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zhang Longjuan apologetically. She said. “I don’t know his full name. I only know he is called Xiao Dong and is in his mid-twenties. He got average looks and is quite slim. This is all I know.”

The middle-aged paused for a second. “He is called Xiao Dong?”

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “Yes. Ms. Zhang calls him Xiao Dong.”

The middle-aged man inhaled deeply. “Is his name Dong Xuebing?”

Shen Xiaoyan was surprised. “I heard Ms. Zhang called him Xiao Bing before. How do you know?”

“It is him!”

“Could it be someone with similar names?”

“It must be him. No one else can fight against twenty men singlehandedly and has the surname Dong.”

Shen Xiaoyan was surprised. She did not expect her Chief to know Dong Xuebing.

The man kept quiet for a while. He rubbed his forehead and said. “Why did he go to Hong Kong?”

Shen Xiaoyan replied. “He is Ms. Zhang’s friend. He heard she was threatened and flew here immediately.”

Shen Xiaoyan heard her Chief smacking his lips. How come her Chief knows about Xiao Dong?

“Why did he go?” The middle-aged man spoke to himself.

“Err… We…”

“How are his injuries? Is it serious?”

“He seemed hurt badly, but he should be fine.”

“Great.” The Chief paused again.

Shen Xiaoyan asked. “Is there anything wrong with Mr. Dong?”

The middle-aged man replied. “How can there be anything wrong with him? This guy is very reliable. You don’t need to worry about anything. His background… never mind. You don’t need to know. I have to inform the higher-ups now. That’s all.”
