Power and Wealth - Chapter 46

Chapter 46
3rd October, Dong Xuebing was discharged from the hospital . It was the third day of the National Day holidays .





State Security is different from the rest of the government agencies . Other than National Day, the staffs had to work on Oct 2nd and 3rd in shifts . Everyone had to return to work on 4th Oct . Today was Dong Xuebing could rest before he returns to work . He returned home with Qu Yunxuan and saw his small one-bedroom apartment . He got the familiar feeling as he sat on his couch .

Aunt Xuan helped him keep all his belongs: “Hehe…… The home still feel the best?”

Dong Xuebing replied . “Of course . I am almost going bonkers at the hospital . It was so boring!”

“Ok . I had escorted you safely back home, and I should go . I still must work overtime during the holidays . ” Qu Yunxuan helped Dong Xuebing pour a cup of hot tea and pinched his cheeks playfully: “Sister Luan is not returning back to Beijing for the holidays? Then you stay at home alone . If you need anything, just send me a message . Don’t go out by yourself and wait at home for me . Bye . ”

“Ok . Bye . ”

Clicked . The door closes .

Dong Xuebing had fully recovered from his injuries . He got up and wanted to cook a bowl of egg tomato soup . But after the soup was cooked, he discovered he had run out of vinegar . He finished his soup and took the empty bottle to the supermarket nearby . While walking to the supermarket, he thought back on how Aunt Xuan took care of him the past few days, and he smiled .

Was there anyone else that’s as virtuous as Aunt Xuan in this world?

Was there anyone else that’s as pretty as Aunt Xuan in this world?





No .

There’s no one else as virtuous and pretty as her .

Dong Xuebing was still letting his imaginations run wild when he saw a stunning beauty appearing in his sights . He was shocked . He looked at that slim figure . The woman was standing under a tree using her phone . Her hair was tied into a bun and was wearing a suit . Her eyes were a crescent shape with long lashes and had a small face which was beautiful beyond words .

There’s really someone as pretty as Aunt Xuan .

Dong Xuebing took in a deep breath . He was a normal man and likes to look at pretty women . He pretended to be waiting for someone and kept stealing glances at that woman . The woman should be about slightly older than him . She looked mature, and her movements were graceful .

Many passers-by also notice this beautiful woman and all of them were looking at her .

Dong Xuebing noticed a skinny man walked past that woman and stopped behind her . He seems to be looking at the woman carefully .

This graceful woman ignored everyone’s looks and continued to smile and talks on the phone: “Old Zhou, it is not that I am not helping you…… It is beyond my ability to help…… Yes…… You can ask Xiao An . He is close to Minister Zhao . Ok?” After talking on the phone for a while, she hung up and kept the phone into her opened handbag . She turned and walked away in her back heels .


Dong Xuebing took his eyes off her and start walking back towards his home .





Sigh…… All he could do was to look at the woman from far . He knew he was not good enough for this type of women .

After taking two steps, Dong Xuebing heard a sweet woman’s voice: “Eh? Where is my wallet?” Dong Xuebing turned around and saw the woman searching her handbag . She then looked around on the ground .

A kind old lady went up to her and asked: “You can’t find your wallet? Did you drop it somewhere?”

The woman frowned: “I should not have dropped it . It was still in my bag 2 minutes ago when I was on the phone . ”

“Oh, then your wallet should be stolen . ”

2 minutes ago?

Dong Xuebing paused . He remembered that skinny man standing very close to her when she was on the phone just now . He stopped beside her for about 2 seconds . Damn! That was a pickpocket?

BACK!

……

Time returns back to 1 minute ago .





The woman was still on the phone under the tree .

“Old Zhou, it is not that I am not helping you…… It is beyond my ability to help…… Yes…… You can ask Xiao An . He is close to Minister Zhao . Ok?” The woman was smiling as she talks on the phone . 2 meters from her, the skinny man walked away from her quickly with his hands covering his stomach .

Dong Xuebing put down his bottle of vinegar on the floor and ran over .

The bystanders were looking at him as he tried to make as little noise as he ran . When he was closer to the skinny man, he pounced onto him . “Stop!”

The skinny man fell onto the floor and shouted: “What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? You should know what I am doing . Where is the wallet?” Dong Xuebing got into a tussle with that man .

The skinny man was very confident of his pickpocketing skills . He thought no one would know he had taken that woman’s wallet . But this man exposed him and was very sure that he had stolen the wallet . The skinny man was shocked and frightened . He quickly broke off Dong Xuebing’s grip and threw a leather wallet on the floor before running away .

Dong Xuebing saw that man had left the wallet behind and did not give chase . That skinny man might have accomplices around, and Dong Xuebing might be ambushed or stabbed if he gave chase .

That beautiful woman looked at Dong Xuebing puzzledly . She still does not understand why this young man got into a fight with that skinny man . But when she saw the wallet in Dong Xuebing’s hand, she was stunned . She immediately hangs up the phone and checks her handbag .

Dong Xuebing got up from the floor and walked over to pass the wallet back to that pretty woman . “That man had stolen your wallet . ”

“Oh……” The woman took the wallet from Dong Xuebing and shook his hand . “I was on the phone and did not notice it . Thank you . Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine . ” Dong Xuebing shook her hand . His heart had skipped a beat .

The woman looks prettier closer . It’s hard to find words to describe her beauty .

After some pleasantries, the woman’s handphone rang again . She thanked Dong Xuebing again . “I still have something to attend to . Give me your number, and I will treat you to dinner some other day . ” From her tone, this woman seems like a leader at her workplace . The way she speaks was commanding .

Dong Xuebing had wanted to reject her offer, but he could not resist her charms . He told her his mobile number .

The woman took out a notebook and jotted down his number . “Ok . I will contact you another day . Bye . ”

Dong Xuebing was still in a daze as he looked at that woman walked away .

Sigh…… Whoever that marries her must be blessed by all his ancestors .
