Chapter 1288: The God of Plagues is here
Outside of the neighborhood.
Before 8 a.m.
Dong Xuebing exited his apartment building and flagged a cab by the roadside. He got in the front passenger seat.
The driver asked. Where are you going?
Dong Xuebing replied. Drive straight.
The driver was puzzled. Drive straight? Where do you want to go?
I will tell you when you reach. Dong Xuebing replied.
The driver shook his head and drove towards Third Ring Road.
Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Tan Limei, who worked in State Security.
Ring ring ring
Hello, Xuebing. Tan Limei answered.
Dong Xuebing asked. Tan Zi, give me the address for the Beijing City Bureau.
Tan Limei paused for a second. City Bureau? Public Security Bureau?
Dong Xuebing replied. Not Public Security. Is your City Bureau. Tell me the address.
What happened? Why do you sound so angry, and why do you need the City Bureau address?
You dont need to know. I need to settle something. I know the address is confidential, but it is not a secret. Many people know the address. I am not involved in this area and have not visited there. You worked at the branch for many years. You should know where it is.
I know, but
Fine. I will ask someone else.
Wait dont hang up. I Sigh I am at the City Bureau now. We have a meeting this morning. Many State Security Branch leaders must attend because it concerns our department. Many of our Branch leaders came with Chief Zeng. He is our Chief now. You need to tell me what happened if you are coming over now. Err never mind. You will not tell me. Tan Limei paused for a second and said softly. All right. I will give you the address. I will send you a text after we hang up. But many leaders are here. You must not do anything rash.
Tan Limei knew Dong Xuebings temper as they worked together and were good friends.
Thanks.
Its fine.
Ok. I will hang up now. Send me the address.
A few moments later, Dong Xuebing received a text.
Dong Xuebing showed the address to the driver.
The driver nodded and started driving towards the north.
A four-story office building compound.
Tan Limei was worried. She excused herself and went to a quiet corner to call her husband, Sun Zhuang.
Hey, Zhuang Zi.
Xiao Mei? Didnt you go to the meeting?
The meeting has not started. I need to tell you something. Xuebing called me earlier to ask for the City Bureaus address. His tone does not seem right. I I feel uneasy.
Did you give him?
Yes.
I think it should be fine.
It might be fine for others, but you know Xuebing. He will go crazy when he is angry. What should I do?
What happened?
I dont know. He did not tell me.
Err you can call Chief Xu.
Chief Xu? Xu Yan? Tan Limei hit her forehead. Thats right. Xuebing only listens to her. She is transferred to Fen Zhou City, and they should keep in touch. No one can stop him other than Chief Xu now. I will call her now.
Ring ring ring Tan Limei called Xu Yan.
The call was picked up immediately.
Tan Limei made sure she was alone and said. Chief Xu, its me. Xiao Tan.
Xu Yan got her number. Xiao Tan. Did Xiao Dong call you?
Ah? How do you know? Tan Limei knew something had happened. Xuebing asked me for the City State Security Bureaus address. I I told him.
Xu Yan breathed in deeply. This brat!
Chief Xu, what Tan Limei tried to ask.
This has nothing to do with you all. Stop asking. Xu Yan said and hung up.
Tan Limei got more worried. She kept looking at the main entrance.
Ten minutes
Twenty minutes
Half an hour
Around 8.30 a.m.
City State Security Office building.
The building is located along a secluded street. It has no signage and other tall buildings nearby. Many cars enter and leave the premises through the metal gate. It was crowded.
At the end of the street.
A cab stopped.
Dong Xuebing paid the driver and got out. He looked at the main gates across the street and knew that was the place. He walked towards it.
The City Bureau has an important meeting today.
Although the meeting had not started, most of the participants were there.
Director Chen, you are here.
Chief Song. Nice to meet you.
Lets go in. We can talk inside.
Are the leaders here? What time does the meeting start?
9.30 a.m. But Chief Jiang was hospitalized yesterday for a fever. I think the meeting will be delayed to 10 a.m. Theres no rush.
Chief Jiang. Jiang Song.
Beijing City State Security Bureau Chief.
Dong Xuebing recalled the information he had of Jiang Song. Although he left State Security, he knows about him. Sister Xu had mentioned him before. Her ex-husband got promoted because of him. He was Beijing City State Security Bureau Chief for less than two years. Dong Xuebing had not met him or interacted with him previously.
Outside of the compound.
More people came.
The main gate is for vehicles. All vehicles stopped and showed their work passes before they were allowed to enter. People walking in through the side gate were checked, too. Security checked everyone, even if they knew them.
Dong Xuebing walked over.
A few office buildings are inside the compound, and the outside of a building was parked full of cars. Many people were standing outside of that building, too. Some were chatting, and some were smoking.
The meeting had not started, and many people did not enter the meeting hall.
Dong Xuebings eyes were sharp. He saw two familiar figures among the crowd. One was Tan Limei, and the other was his former leader, Zhen Guoan.
Tan Limei kept looking towards the entrance, and she spotted Dong Xuebing. She was about to run towards him.
But Dong Xuebing raised his hand to stop Tan Limei. He was here to take revenge and did not want to implicate Tan Limei.
Ring ring ring
Ring ring ring
Dong Xuebings phone had been ringing nonstop. He looked at the caller, and it was Xu Yan again. He knew what she was going to say and did not answer. She can tolerate getting hit, but he cannot.
You dare to hit my Xu Yan?
F**k you!
I will let you know who I am!
