Chapter 289 – God of Plague!

Chapter 289 – God of Plague!

County’s People Hospital.

Crash! An ear-splitting crash can be heard throughout the hospital.

“Ah!!! What happened?”

“What was that? Earthquake?”

“It sounded like an explosion!”

All the patients were stunned, and it was chaotic. Only the people near the first-floor lift lobby heard the crash was from the elevator shaft and concluded that the elevator must have fallen from higher floors. After recovering from the shock, some nurses started calling for help. Some of them called their leaders as they don’t know if there is anyone in the elevator.

Fifth floor. Dong Xuebing walked down the stairs slowly, and when he reached the first floor, hospital staff were prying the elevator doors open with tools. Creak... the staff managed to pry a gap through the doors, and two technicians used all their strength to open it. It was dark inside, and they could not see the elevator car. The elevator car should be at the bottom of the shaft, and the staff started to pry open the ceiling of the elevator car.

About six to seven minutes later, Meng Xianglin was rescued.

“Chief Meng?” A hospital leader recognized him.

Two hospital staff carried Meng Xianglin onto a stretcher. “Are you ok? Which part are you hurt?”

Meng Xianglin was terrified. He was covered in sweat in the middle of winter, and although he had no obvious injuries, his lips were quivering. When he heard the rescuers asking him, he gasped for air and points to his head in agony. After that, he closed his eyes and held on to his head. The nurses and doctors immediately rush him for checks.

Dong Xuebing had seen everything from a distance and felt much better. He turns and returns to his mother’s ward.

“Xiao Bing.” Luan Xiaoping asked. “What was that sound?”

“The elevator’s cable had snapped and fell. That old bastard, Meng Xianglin, was inside, and he was also scared to death.”

“Ah? Coincidence?” Luan Xiaoping asked.

“He deserves it! This is his Khama!”

Meng Xianglin had scared Dong Xuebing’s mother and caused a heart attack. Still, this old bastard is not apologetic at all. He saw Dong Xuebing’s mother is having a heart attack and did not even call for the doctors or nurses, and left quietly. Now, he still insisted on his innocent and claimed it was his mother’s problem and had nothing to do with him. The filial Dong Xuebing cannot tolerate this and can only take matters into his own hands. You like to scare others, right? F**k! I will give you a taste of your own medicine!

......

“The patient is feeling giddy and having a headache. Give him a CT scan first!” A doctor said.

Meng Xianglin is holding his head in pain as he was pushed into the CT scan room by a few nurses. He is suffering from Cerebral Thrombosis, and after this scare, the symptoms were more obvious. He felt terrible from the giddiness, and never in his dreams, he expects to encounter an elevator failure.

Eh?

Wait!

Meng Xianglin thought about what happened, and his face changed!

Meng Xianglin had thought Dong Xuebing was behaving weirdly. They had just argued and why did Dong Xuebing stopped him and dragged him into the elevator? Also, Dong Xuebing stepped out of the elevator at the last minute. His expression, the look in his eyes, and his actions seem to know that there will be an accident with the elevator. What is going on? Was he the one who set up this accident?

It must be Dong Xuebing!

Meng Xianglin does not believe this is coincident. From Dong Xuebing’s behavior, he is positive Dong Xuebing had done something to the elevator!

It must be this brat who set me up!

“Wait a minute!” Meng Xianglin shouted.

The nurse who was pushing him stopped. “What’s wrong?”

“Pass me my phone first.” Meng Xianglin called the Police. He wants to settle this score with Dong Xuebing first.

After receiving Meng Xianglin’s call, the Public Security Bureau knew what happened. Everyone, including Liang Chengpeng, was shocked to hear about Meng Xianglin’s accident was caused by Dong Xuebing. All of them knew Meng Xianglin had caused Dong Xuebing’s mother to suffer a heart attack and knew Chief Dong would not let this rest. But none of them expected Chief Dong to take revenge so fast.

The people who were close to Dong Xuebing started to get worried about him.

Liang Chengpeng banged his desk in anger. He had reminded Xiao Dong not to do anything, but why did he still...

The Public Security Bureau immediately send their officers over to the County’s People Hospital. Even Executive Deputy Bureau Chief Hu Yiguo went over to oversee the investigation. After all, this case is too sensitive.

......

Dong Xuebing was accompanying Luan Xiaoping in her ward when his phone rang.

It is Xie Huilan’s Secretary, Hu Silian. “Chief Dong, the Public Security Bureau, had sent someone to investigate.”

“Oh?” Dong Xuebing knew what Hu Silian was talking about and is not surprised.

Hu Silian paused for a few seconds and asked. “Mayor Xie wants me to ask you if this accident...”

“Don’t worry. It is coincident and has nothing to do with me.” Dong Xuebing calmly replied. “Sister Hu, help me thank Mayor Xie for her concern.”

“Good to hear that.” Hu Silian laughed and chatted with Dong Xuebing for a while before hanging up.

Hu Yiguo and the Officers from the Public Security Bureau arrived at the hospital. Meng Xianglin is in terrible condition and had to undergo a series of checks. Hu Yiguo is unable to get his statement and can only ask what happened from the witnesses. At the same time, he sent his men to find out the cause of the elevator failure.

In an office.

Hu Yiguo looks at two nurses coldly. “You all saw Chief Dong with Chief Meng before the accident?”

One of the nurses replied. “Yes.”

“What happened?”

“They had a fierce argument, and many people saw it.”

Hu Yiguo frowned. “What happens next?”

“After that, Chief Dong said something to Chief Meng, and they entered the elevator.”

“Then why is Chief Meng alone in the elevator?”

The nurse replied. “When the elevator doors are closing, Chief Dong stepped out. He had forgotten to collect his mother’s medicine.”

After questioning the witness, Hu Yiguo started to suspect Dong Xuebing. He had some grudges with Dong Xuebing in the past and had gotten a warning because of him. Dong Xuebing also cause him to lose his backing, the former Party Secretary. Naturally, he hopes Dong Xuebing was the one who caused this accident. What he got from the witnesses confirmed his suspicions. Dong Xuebing has something to do with this accident!

This accident is too coincidental to be true!

Hu Yiguo immediately goes to the surveillance room to view the CCTV footage.

In the CCTV recordings, Dong Xuebing’s weird behavior confirmed Hu Yiguo’s suspicion. But after reviewing all the footage before the accident, he noticed Dong Xuebing had never got close or did anything to the elevators. It is impossible to cause an elevator to fall by pressing the buttons. Someone must enter the elevator shaft to cut the cables or meddle with the elevator engine from inside. But Dong Xuebing had not even got close to the elevator shaft or stayed too long in the elevator.

Did Dong Xuebing hire someone to do it?

Hu Yiguo continued with the investigation, but the outcome was not what he expected.

No one had repaired or entered the elevator shaft in the past two days, and nothing was captured on the CCTV footage!

Deputy Bureau Chief Gong Zhongwen had also arrived at the hospital. When he saw Hu Yiguo firmly believe Dong Xuebing was the one behind the accident, he said with a frown. “Chief Hu, if it was Chief Dong who tried to kill Chief Meng in this accident, Chief Dong must make preparations like entering the elevator shaft or loosening some screws and nuts. But no one, including Chief Dong, had entered the elevator shaft in the past two days. How can he control the elevator to fall as and when he likes? This is impossible. Furthermore, no one knows Chief Meng will be coming to the hospital today. If Chief Dong had planned to kill Chief Meng, how did he know Chief Meng will be coming today, and he will be going up to the fifth floor? How is he going to make sure Chief Meng will be the one using the elevator and not someone else?”

Chief Gong had mentioned something critical. This accident is not planned.

There is not enough time! No one can cause a lift to fall within a few minutes!

At the elevator, technicians who were investigating the cause of the accident, concluded that the elevator had failed because of wear and tear of the parts, and there were no signs of anyone tampering with it. This is confirmed to be an accident!

Hu Yiguo refused to accept it and continued to investigate. But in the end, he had to admit Dong Xuebing has nothing to do with Meng Xianglin’s accident.

The evidence and logic did not point to Dong Xuebing.

This incident is confirmed to be an accident!

But even when everyone knows this is an accident, they were still shocked!

Liang Chengpeng slapped his forehead after reading the incident report.

Xiang Daofa, who is in his office at the Party Committee Building, frowned.

Xie Huilan shook her head and smiled. Her Secretary, Hu Silian, was looking at her, trying to hold back her laughter.

Everyone knew Chief Dong’s nickname. The nickname, ‘God of Plague,’ was given to him after the Jin De Mansion case. Due to a lack of evidence, Qian Fei was released unconditionally, and a falling flowerpot hit him on the same day he was released. The impact damaged Qian Fei’s brain, and he is still in the hospital. When the flower pot fell on Qian Fei, Chief Dong was beside him, and the latter had deep grudges with him.

It had happened again!

This time, it’s a falling elevator!

Something bad will happen to the ones who had grudges with Dong Xuebing. The first time was a falling flowerpot, and now, it is a falling elevator.

Now, even the atheists in the Bureau started to doubt themselves!

Chief Dong is not called the ‘God of Plague’ for nothing!

It’s too abnormal!

This is too unbelievable!
