Power and Wealth

Chapter 426 – Let’s raise the stakes!

The main entrance of the Investment Promotion Agency.

Everything had happened suddenly and had caught many people off guard. Even Dong Xuebing did not expect this outcome.

Dong Xuebing saw Pang Zhou’s expression about one minute ago and knew this is one of his dirty tricks. Dong Xuebing could not control his anger anymore. Pang Zhou had gotten Xin Hua News Agency reporters to create trouble, instigate Liu Cheng to harass Madam Han, and now, snatched his County’s investment. This is disrespecting the Investment Promotion Agency, Xie Huilan, and Zhao Xinglong. He is even hiding behind to watch the show with a smile!

Damn!

You are seeking death!

Dong Xuebing could no longer hold back and shouted, “Old Sun, Come back!” After that, he walked up to Pang Zhou and shouted the command in his heart!

STOP!

Everything in the world stopped!

Luo Haiting and Jiang Hailiang were grabbing onto Sun Shuli’s arms. Li Feng’s mouth is slightly opened in front of Xie Huilan. Because Sun Shuli had been stopped, most people are not paying attention to him and are focusing on Mayor Xie and Li Feng. Pang Zhou is standing behind Li Feng with a faint smile on his face.

No one can move to expect for Dong Xuebing!

Smile?! F**k you!

Pang Zhou had provoked Dong Xuebing and Yan Tai County several times, and Dong Xuebing hates him to the core. He clenched his fist and punched Pang Zhou’s face with all his strength. Bam! The punch landed on Pang Zhou’s face, and his nose was flattened! But because time had stopped, he still has a faint smile on his face. Only his body was moved backward slightly with both feet leaving the ground!

You are still smiling?!

I will make sure you will not dare to smile for the rest of your life!

Dong Xuebing had not vented his anger. Bam! He threw another punch!

One punch...

Two punches...

Three punches...

During the time stop, all objects, including people, are not affected by gravity, except Dong Xuebing. Pang Zhou’s body is floating in mid-air after all the punches. His body did not fly backward, and although Dong Xuebing had not vented all his anger, he felt it’s enough. He pulled Pang Zhou’s body from Li Feng back to where he was standing.

Dong Xuebing knew the consequences of hitting another government servant and does not want to leave any evidence.

Alright. These internal injuries are enough for Pang Zhou to suffer!

STOP!

......

......

Time resumed.

“Don’t say all these to me! You all Yan Tai...” Li Feng is still arguing with Xie Huilan with a snobbish smile.

Pang Zhou is smiling while staring at Dong Xuebing, who had reached in front of him. The next second, the smile on Pang Zhou’s face is gone, and he shouted out in pain. He covered his face with his hand and flew backward. Blood started to spurt out from his nose and mouth!

Everyone is stunned to see Pang Zhou flying backward suddenly!

Dong Xuebing is also stunned. He did not expect this to happen!

Dong Xuebing had discovered STOP for a few months but did not conduct many experiments with it. He thought he can inflict some internal injuries on Pang Zhou and settle the score with him another time. But the impacts during STOP will happen after time is resumed. The impacts from Dong Xuebing’s punches all happened at once after time was resumed!

Oh, this is something new!

Dong Xuebing learned something new about his power, STOP, today.

Pang Zhou’s body flew backward and knocked into Li Feng. Li Feng felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the momentum pushed them backward. 0.5 meters... 1 meter... two meters... Dong! Dong! Li Feng and Pang Zhou knocked onto the Mercedes door! It was loud, and there are two small dents on the door!

“Arggh!”

“Ahh...”

Li Feng and Pang Zhou are groaning on the ground.

“Mayor Li! Chief Pang!” Peng Kenong was scared out of his wits.

Everything happened too fast, and before anyone can see what happened, Li Feng and Pang Zhou had fallen and hit their heads against the car’s door. The only thing everyone saw was Dong Xuebing walking up towards Pang Zhou. Without a doubt, it must be Chief Dong who had hit Pang Zhou!

Everyone is stunned!

Zhao Xinglong was still feeling glad when Dong Xuebing stopped Sun Shuli. Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, and the rest are all afraid Chief Dong will start scolding Pang Zhou like he did with Xin Hua News Agency reporters. Li Feng is different from others and is a Director-ranked Leader. He also has connections in the City and Provincial Government.

But out of everyone’s expectation, Chief Dong did not scold anyone! He just hit Pang Zhou without saying a word!

Dong Xuebing had hit Pang Zhou and Li Feng?! One of them is a County Department’s Head, and the other is a County Mayor!

Xie Huilan is also stunned.

“Xiao Dong! What... What have you done?!” Zhao Xinglong pointed at Dong Xuebing and scolded. He felt he is a fool to believe Xiao Dong had become mature. Bullshit!

At that moment, everyone is looking at Dong Xuebing.

Great! These people from Da Feng County should be beaten up! Sun Shuli almost jumped with joy when he saw Pang Zhou flying backward. But when he saw Pang Zhou’s bloody face and Li Feng, who held the back of his head, he and the other Agency’s leaders felt a chill up down their spines! At that moment, everyone calmed down, and the shit hits the fan!

Hitting a Mayor?! Hitting a fellow government servant?!

This is insubordination! It is taboo in the government service!

Dong Xuebing knew he is in trouble, but he doesn’t care about the consequences since it had happened. He did not use BACK to rectify it! Damn! I am the one who had hit you all! What can you all do?!

Of course, Dong Xuebing dares to hit them and is not afraid of Da Feng County. But he must never admit hitting them. He looked at the County’s Leaders and the people from the Investment Promotion Agency and raised both hands innocently. “Why are you all looking at me? I did not do anything. It’s Chief Pang who had jumped backward. I have nothing to do with this.” He turns to Pang Zhou, who is still groaning on the ground. “Old Pang, what’s the meaning of this? Ah? I did not even touch the corner of your clothes. Are you trying to accuse me? You even knocked Mayor Li down! What are you trying to do?!”

Pang Zhou heard what Dong Xuebing said and almost vomited blood. He pointed at Dong Xuebing and shouted. “Dong Xuebing!”

This is the real culprit calling the victim the culprit!

Everyone has finally experienced Chief Dong’s shamelessness!

You are too evil! You had hit him, and you are still pushing the blame to the victim?!

Dong Xuebing turns to Luo Haiting. “What are you waiting for? Call the ambulance.” After that, he turns to Pang Zhou. “Old Pang, you are in trouble this time. Even if you want to pretend you are hit, you should not knock into Mayor Li. Is this the way you treat your Leader?”

“You... bastard!” Pang Zhou is furious. He did not expect anyone to dare to hit him in front of so many people and dragged Mayor Li into this!

Li Feng stood up with his hand holding his head. “Mayor Xie! Is this how your Yan Tai County’s staff behave?! How can someone like him be the Agency’s head?! How did you all approve his appointment?!” He had never been humiliated like this before in his life and is extremely furious!

But Mayor Xie’s reaction shocked everyone. Xie Huilan looks at Li Feng with narrowed eyes. “Mayor Li, do we need to report to you how we appoint our staff? Don’t make any accusations before you find out what happened.” Xie Huilan looks around. “Anyway, I did not see Xiao Dong hitting anyone earlier.”

Everyone realized Mayor Xie is very protective of her own people at this moment.

Mayor Xie claims she did not see what happened? This is very obvious!

Everyone at the scene is from Yan Tai County and understood what Mayor Xie means.

Loh Haiting was the first to speak up. “I did not see Chief Dong doing anything earlier, but I saw Chief Pang flying backward without anyone touching him.”

“That’s right. I also saw Chief Pang falling backward by himself.”

Everyone starts to speak up for Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing is touched, but he knows everyone really did not see him hitting Pang Zhou. He had punched Pang Zhou several times after he stopped time.

Li Feng looks around angrily. “Fine! Fine! Fine!” He took out his phone and start making a call!

Zhao Xinglong knew Li Feng is really furious, and he sighed in his heart. Xiao Dong is in the wrong this time, and even with Mayor Xie’s help, he will still have to face the music.

Pang Zhou got up slowly and wiped the blood off his face. He knows Dong Xuebing is in trouble, and the most lenient punishment is getting fired!

Dong Xuebing starts to think of a countermeasure. Get someone to help him? It will not work, as no one can help him.

What should he do?

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing caught something from the corner of his eyes, and he smiled!

Yes! I have an idea!

Damn! I will raise the stakes with you all!
