Power and Wealth C.1618

In the call:

"You have any plans on how to deal with this?"

"I'll have to ask you to help me contact the towing company."

"No problem, I'll contact the city's transportation department."

"Thanks a lot. Oh, and please don't tell my dad about this."

"Sure, I understand. How many tow trucks do you think we'll need? Would six be enough?"

"That should be enough. There are just three Audi cars. Two or three tow trucks should suffice."

"That's fine. I'll make the call then. Leave this matter to me."

"Alright, Brother Shen. How about tomorrow? If you're free, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Hehe, sure. But don't be too polite. It's a small matter. Let me treat you instead."

Dong Xuebing hadn't been working in Beijing for long, and he didn't have many connections. Even though some of the elders in the Xie family held positions in Beijing, Dong Xuebing didn't want to bother them with such trivial matters. The issue was too insignificant, so contacting Secretary Shen was the best choice. It allowed him to leverage some influence without making a big deal out of it and, most importantly, without owing anyone any favors.

Who is Dong Xuebing?

He's the husband of Secretary Xie's only daughter.

An upcoming youngster whom Secretary Xie favors greatly.

Naturally, Secretary Shen would spare no effort in handling Dong Xuebing's affairs, ensuring no ambiguities.

Alleyway.

Dong Xuebing hung up the phone and walked back.

On the other side, the residents were still confronting the other party, with no one backing down. Dong Xuebing saw Auntie Zheng spitting fire while the other party's cars remained unmoved. Not only that, but they had even further blocked the alley. The police cars and two police vehicles parked there caused a significant obstruction to the road outside the alley, with horns blaring incessantly, creating a chaotic scene.

Everyone had heard Dong Xuebing's words just now and saw him making a call. However, the police officers and drivers didn't take it seriously.

"Are you going to move or what?"

"How can we move? These are vehicles from the district transportation department. Who dares to touch them?"

The drivers of the three vehicles, all officials, didn't take it seriously. They didn't care even when the traffic police and police arrived. This was the road under their department's jurisdiction. It didn't matter who you asked for help; it wouldn't make any difference.

Sister Ci also noticed his approach and hurriedly said, "Xuebing, you better go back and hide. They still want to take you away."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing chuckled, "Hide? Hide from what? This is a straightforward matter. Don't worry, Sister Ci. Today, let's make them remember us."

"Make them remember?"

"How are we going to make them remember?"

The old neighbors didn't quite understand.

But several towing trucks from the traffic management department rushed over after a while. With a few screeches, they stopped at the entrance of the alley.

One, two, three, four, five... a total of seven towing trucks arrived.

Usually, one or two enforcement vehicles were enough. Seven trucks were quite a spectacle, leaving everyone a little stunned. It was pretty rare. Dong Xuebing was delighted to see this, thinking Secretary Shen understood his temperament and his way of doing things.

Seven trucks.

Just right.

As the doors opened, fifteen to sixteen enforcement officers stepped out of the trucks.

Everyone quieted down upon seeing this, looking at each other suspiciously, not understanding what was happening.

The two traffic police officers were also puzzled. They had not requested support from higher authorities.

However, the lead enforcement officer didn't even glance at them and shouted loudly, "Who's Mr. Dong?"

Mr. Dong.

"What Mr. Dong?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing pushed through the crowd and walked up. "I am Dong Xuebing."

The law enforcement officer glanced at him, avoiding shaking hands to avoid suspicion. "You reported the case?"

"Yes," Dong Xuebing knew how to respond.

After they walked in, the law enforcement officer lowered his voice. "Hello, the bureau instructed me to cooperate and follow your command fully. You tell me what to do." He didn't know who Dong Xuebing was, but he knew that their mission this time was personally arranged by the leader of the bureau, emphasizing the importance of the matter and showing great concern.

Dong Xuebing pointed to several Audis. "It's these three cars. They've been blocking the road for over two hours."

"Got it." The leading law enforcement officer turned around and waved to his subordinates. "Tow them away."

Several drivers, police officers, and residents finally reacted. It turned out that this young man called someone. His words were not just boastful.

The enforcement team's vehicles started moving, with personnel below assisting in towing.

Driver Old Wang was astonished and exclaimed, "Stop, just stop!"

Driver Old Sun couldn't hold back either. "We're on the same side, don't do this!"

"Who says we're on the same side?" A female law enforcement officer glared at them. "Tow them away."

Five or six police officers didn't move, mainly because they still didn't understand the situation. They didn't expect this young man to call people from the city with just one phone call. Now, they didn't dare to act recklessly. The two traffic police officers didn't say anything either, as the city's transportation department was their superior department.

The three drivers kept pushing forward, trying to prevent the towing.

However, the law enforcement officers, numbering nearly twenty, quickly blocked them.

The front of the car quickly lifted the first Audi. The enforcement tow truck stepped on the gas and pulled it away.

"This is Director Zhang's car. What are you doing?" Old Wang shouted, "You're still holding the handbrake!"

But the law enforcement vehicle didn't listen to him at all. The handbrake had long been ignored. They just pulled the first Audi away. The Audi's rear wheels rubbed against the ground because the handbrake had killed the tires. The tires made a squeaking sound, leaving two rubber marks on the ground. Not to mention other damages, just these two tires and the rims would be ruined when they arrived at the unit. The car would need a major repair, that was beyond question.

Take care of the car?

They didn't have that kind of time.

The law enforcement vehicles were rough, ignoring the drivers' shouts. They forcefully pulled away the first Audi, even with the handbrake on.

Then, the enforcement officers hooked up the second Audi.

Driver Old Sun was almost furious. "This is Director Zheng's car!"

The leading enforcement officer looked at him indifferently, casually wrote him a ticket, and threw it to him. "After paying the fine, come claim your car."

Old Sun angrily said, "This is too rough. The handbrake is still on!"

Another driver said, "Let us release the handbrake first. This is the leader's car!"

"Now you remember? What were you doing earlier?" The law enforcement officer said matter-of-factly, "Regardless of whose car it is, pay the fine according to the procedure."

Old Wang shouted, "What if the car gets damaged?"

The law enforcement officer replied coldly, "You bear the responsibility yourself; we are not liable."

In the call:
