Chapter 1632

Meanwhile, outside the office of the deputy director in charge.

The deputy director, who had just returned from the meeting, was followed by Zeng Ming, the director of the General Department, and Deputy Director Yang Zhen. They knocked on the door and entered.

"Director Zhou."

"Mm, you're here?"

"This is too much of bullying!"

"I've heard about the situation. Have a seat first."

"Director Zhou, just look at Xiao Yang's injury. The kick was too harsh!"

Zeng Ming came in with an angry demeanor, didn't even sit down, lifted up Yang Zhen's shirt, and pointed to the red and purple marks on his stomach to show Director Zhou.

Director Zhou glanced at it, his expression darkened, "Have you been to the hospital?"

"We'll go to the hospital later and get it checked."

"Thank you for your concern, leader." Yang Zhen nodded in thanks. "I will."

At this moment, Zeng Ming said to Yang Zhen, "What about the photos of the car? Show Director Zhou."

"Yeah." Yang Zhen immediately flipped through his phone and pulled out a few pictures that he had just taken. They showed the rear of his Audi A4L, which had been hit.

Director Zhou took a look and flipped through a few pages. "I understand."

Whether it was Yang Zhen's injury or the damage to the car, it wasn't particularly serious. At least Director Zhou didn't think it was serious. However, this didn't mean Director Zhou wasn't angry. The severity of this matter wasn't about Yang Zhen's injury but about the impact of the incident itself. This incident involved an intentional car collision and physical assault. The victim was a cadre, and so was the assailant. In this situation, injury assessment couldn't be used as the basis for handling.

Director Zhou put down Yang Zhen's phone. "The Second Office went a bit too far this time, right? It was that cadre named Dong Xuebing, right? I see."

Zeng Ming said indignantly, "This isn't just going too far, it's too blatant! Assaulting someone? And he's still a cadre! What kind of behavior is this? If everyone behaved like him, wouldn't it be chaotic? Such cadres should be dealt with seriously! It's a failure of management! Director Yin of the Second Division also bears responsibility!"

Director Zhou felt a bit annoyed when he heard this. He naturally understood the matters between the Second and General Office, so he interrupted Zeng Ming's words with a wave. "Alright, I will report this matter to the director. However, no matter what, Yang Zhen, you are also wrong. After all, you hit someone else's car first, and after the conflict arose, you also acted irrationally and pushed Dong Xuebing, right? Go back and reflect on yourself."

Yang Zhen could only agree.

Zeng Ming said, "But fundamentally, it's people from the Second Office..."

"I know. I will report to the higher-ups." Director Zhou waved his hand. "You all can go back. Don't worry. The General Office will be given an explanation."

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Director Zhou looked up, "Come in."

Yin Cheng'an, the director of the Second Office, came in late, and when he saw that Zeng Ming had already brought Yang Zhen in, Yin Cheng'an subtly frowned. "Director Zhou."

"You're here too?" Director Zhou glanced at him, not treating him as nicely as he did Zeng Ming's group. After all, in his view, the Second Office was mainly responsible for this matter. Even if Yang Zhen was at fault first, Dong Xuebing of the Second Office handled the situation too aggressively.

Meeting with an old foe always makes the eyes red. Zeng Ming looked at him and said coldly, "Director Yin, is this how you usually instruct your subordinates?"

Don't be fooled by Yin Cheng'an's usual mild and friendly demeanor towards his subordinates. When it comes to serious matters, Yin Cheng'an can also be tough. "I should return this statement to you intact, Director Zeng," he retorted, "You hit someone else's car without even apologizing, and then you arrogantly argued with the other party. Is this how you teach your subordinates?"

"Well, your way of teaching isn't any better! Kicking people? What kind of cadres are in your department?" Zeng Ming retorted coldly.

Yin Cheng'an looked at him and said, "Then let me ask, who caused this incident? Who started the fight? Who laid hands first?"

Neither gave way, and they immediately started arguing in the deputy director's office, exchanging barbs.

Director Zhou grew impatient and slammed the table. "Enough of this bickering! Look at yourselves, go back!"

"Director Zhou," Yin Cheng'an said.

"Go back and wait for the director to handle it!" Director Zhou issued an order to leave.

Seeing Director Zhou's attitude, Yin Cheng'an also knew continuing was futile. He had no choice but to leave, feeling even more worried about Dong Xuebing.

Director Dong is in trouble this time!

Hmm, he usually seems relatively calm. How could he resort to violence?

Yin Cheng'an couldn't understand what Dong Xuebing was thinking! A normal person wouldn't resort to violence in such a situation, would they?

This is bad!

We can only leave it to fate!

I wonder what kind of punishment Director Zhu will give!

On the other side, in the Second Office office area.

Han Fei was still on the phone with her father, Han Zhenghe.

When she heard her father say that he had heard of Dong Xuebing, Han Fei was also very surprised. She knew her father's rank, and the people he knew, interacted with, and talked about were high-ranking leaders. Even if their new Director, Dong Xuebing, were promoted to a high position at a young age, his level probably wouldn't be something her father would be aware of. It's a different level.

"Have you heard of him before?" Han Fei asked.

"Let's not talk about it. You wouldn't understand. Are you still at work? This isn't the place to talk on the phone. You'll understand later," Han Zhenghe said.

"What do I need to understand?" Han Fei asked anxiously.

Han Zhenghe replied calmly, "I'll tell you when there's a chance."

Han Fei couldn't wait and said quickly, "But what should we do? Director Dong stood up for me. He's too righteous. I can't just watch him get demoted!"

"Demoted?" Han Zhenghe chuckled. "That's impossible."

"Why are you laughing? How is it impossible? He hit someone!" Han Fei said in frustration.

Han Zhenghe replied calmly, "When I say it's impossible, it's impossible. Don't worry, your Director Dong will be fine."

"Can you be clear about it?" Han Fei urged. "I know Director Dong must have some background. He's achieved so much at his age. It's strange if he doesn't have any connections. But this incident has a huge impact. Even with connections, it's useless. How can he escape punishment?"

"That depends on what kind of background he has." Han Zhenghe smiled and shook his head, saying decisively, "There are some things you don't need to know yet. But let me tell you this: as far as your Director Dong is concerned, I won't dare say in areas outside of the province or city. But when it comes to the capital city and the territory of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, hmm, I'm afraid no one dares to touch him!"
