Chapter 1317: Oh, I smashed their Newspaper agency before

Morning.

After 9 am.

Sun Kai fell asleep after taking his medication.

Dong Xuebing, Xia Yanzhen, and the rest did not wait outside. Sun Kai’s Sister and Brother-in-law remained outside the ward, and the rest went downstairs.

“Mum, go back to work.” Xie Jing said.

Sun Kai’s mother added. “That’s right. You must be busy.”

Xia Yanzhen nodded. “There’s no rush. I applied for half-day off.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I think all of you should go back and rest. Xiao Jing can rest in a nearby hotel, and First Aunt should return to work. Uncle Sun and Aunty must be exhausted. You might collapse before Xiao Kai recovers. Listen to me. Xiao Sun’s Sister and Brother-in-law are around. We will look after him. Don’t worry.”

Xie Jing looked at Dong Xuebing. “Are you not going back, Brother-in-law?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I slept in the operating theater last night and cannot leave. I must watch Xiao Kai these few days in case of any emergencies.”

Sun Kai’s mother was touched. “But your body…”

Sun Kai’s father said. “Xiao Jing said you are injured with multiple fractures. This…”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “It’s fine. It’s just some minor injuries.”

They need Dong Xuebing to be around if Xiao Kai’s condition worsens.

Xie Jing looked at Dong Xuebing. “Brother-in-law, I will not say thank you.”

Dong Xuebing patted her shoulder. “All right, just go back. You all looked tired. Let’s go. I will walk you out.”

Sun Kai’s mother said. “Please take care of Xiao Kai.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to him with me around.”

Downstairs.

Hospital lobby.

When they heard quarreling, Xie Jing was about to get her car to send Sun Kai’s parents home. They looked over and saw Sun Kai’s colleagues and students.

Over twenty people were shouting.

Two middle-aged men and a woman with cameras stood opposite them. They looked like reporters.

“How can you all say that?”

“What’s wrong with Teacher Sun? Stop twisting the facts!”

“You are talking nonsense! Teacher Sun risked his life for the students. Where are you? Sleeping at home? Who are you to criticize him?”

The teachers were agitated.

The students were furious.

Dong Xuebing and the rest saw them and walked over.

“What happened?” Dong Xuebing asked a student.

The student saw it was Dong Xuebing and said. “These reporters are finding trouble. They dug out what Teacher Sun did when he taught in Beijing. They claimed many parents complained against him and questioned his character. They also asked if he was qualified to teach. Many reporters and the TV station asked us about the incident. They were impressed by Teacher Sun’s courageous act, but they questioned his character. Isn’t this finding trouble?”

Xie Jing’s face changed.

Sun Kai’s parents were furious.

Dong Xuebing glanced at those reporters and felt two of them familiar. “Which newspaper agency are they from?”

That student thought for a while and said. “I think they are from Beijing Daily News Agency.”

Dong Xuebing remembered. Aunt Xuan worked in this newspaper agency a few years ago. No wonder they look familiar. Haha… Dong Xuebing was working in West Branch and had entered the government service not long before. The newspaper agency mistreated Qu Yunxuan, and he went to their agency to stand up for her. He flipped their tables and smashed up the place. He also beat up someone. Xie Huilan, who was not his girlfriend then, called, and the newspaper agency was suspended. It was a huge incident then. It was still fresh in his memories.

Dong Xuebing was more rash and more impulsive then.

Dong Xuebing was amused when he recalled what he did.

Dong Xuebing stood behind the crowd and lit a cigarette. He watched them.

The reporters thought nothing about those teachers and students.

The taller middle-aged man, holding a recording pen, said. “We are not targeting Teacher Sun. As reporters, we look at issues fairly and from all perspectives. Please understand.” He paused for a second and looked at the agitated people before him. He said slowly. “I can tell Teacher Sun had performed well from your reactions. But this is different from what we heard. A parent had complained Teacher Sun had implemented physical punishment on students. He punished students by copying books and standing along the corridors. Is this true?”

A male teacher retorted. “Are you saying those students who are late should not be punished? Teachers should not punish students when students do not do their homework?”

The middle-aged man replied. “These students should be punished, but you must take note of the punishment method. We are not finding trouble, but Teacher Sun lacks in this area.”

The male teacher was furious. “It’s easy for you to talk. How about you try it?”

The younger reporter asked. “Are you admitting Teacher Sun had implemented physical punishment on students?”

A female teacher said. “You are unreasonable. Look at issues fairly? How is this fair? You are biased. Don’t think I don’t know what you all are up to. To attract readers, you are trying to paint Teacher Sun differently from other newspaper reports.”

The students started cursing at the reporters.

“Bullshit reporters!”

“Pui! Bastards!”

“I will beat you all up if you dare to talk bad about Teacher Sun!”

Sun Kai earned all the students’ respect after he risked his life to save those students. Although the students were young and immature, they knew who cared for them genuinely. Teacher Sun barely survived the surgery and remains in the Intensive Care Unit. Who knows if he can survive this incident? Yet these reporters are doubting and questioning his character.

A few male students rushed forward.

A few teachers quickly stop them. “Stop! Stop!”

The middle-aged reporter frowned. “Is this how your school’s students behave? This made me more doubtful about Teacher Sun’s teaching abilities.”

“I dare you to repeat it!”

“F**k! Try repeating it!”

The teachers were on the verge of exploding.

The reporters knew these teachers and students were from other places and thought nothing about them. They were determined to find trouble with them.

Sun Kai’s parents were trembling from anger.

Their son was almost killed when saving his students, yet these reporters criticized him and doubted his character.

Xie Jing was furious. “Which newspaper agency are you from?”

The middle-aged reporter looked at her. “Beijing Daily Newspaper Agency.”

“Beijing Daily Newspaper Agency? Fine!” Xie Jing took out her phone and was about to make a call.

Xia Yanzhen stopped her. “It’s only a few reporters. We don’t need to blow it up.” She walked through the crowd towards the reporters.

Sun Kai’s parents followed.

The teachers and students saw it was Teacher Sun’s family and opened a path for them.

Xia Yanzhen looked at the reporters. “The students just got a fright, and the teachers were worried last night. Teacher Sun’s family almost lost him. How can you all say these things? This is no longer a matter of professionalism. It is about your morals.”

The young reporter’s face turned cold.

The female reporter and the middle-aged reporter looked at Xia Yanzhen angrily.

Xia Yanzhen calmly continued. “Are you done with your questions? The students did not sleep last night and did not have time to answer your dumb questions.”

The middle-aged reporter said. “These are important questions. We should not judge a person’s character because of one incident. We should understand Teacher Sun from different angles.”

Xie Jing’s eyes turned cold.

Sun Kai’s family did not expect those reporters to be unafraid of Xiao Jing’s mother, a high-ranking government leader.

Dong Xuebing knew these reporters did not recognize First Aunt. He saw they were insistent and laughed. He pushed his way through to the front. “What else do you want to know? You can ask me.”

“Brother-in-law.” Xie Jing said.

Dong Xuebing replied. “Let me handle this.”

The reporters saw Dong Xuebing and were stunned.

“Go ahead and ask. What do you want to understand?” Dong Xuebing laughed and said.

The reporters recognized Dong Xuebing and exchanged looks. The younger reporter started sweating. This was the hooligan who suspended their newspaper agency with a call.

Damn!

Why is he here?

“Answer me.”

“……” The reporters kept quiet.

“Are you all done?” Dong Xuebing’s face changed. “Get lost if you are done! Are you waiting for me to send you off?”

The three reporters were angry but dared not to retort. They turned and walked away quickly.

The students were surprised.

Sun Kai’s family and other teachers were speechless.

They argued with the reporters for so long without any use, and Dong Xuebing scared them away without doing anything.

Xie Jing was surprised, too. “Brother-in-law, you…”

Xia Yanzhen was amused. “You are more influential than me.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “No. They know me.”

Xia Yanzhen asked curiously. “How do they know you?”

Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I smashed their newspaper agency before.”

Ah?

Smashed their newspaper agency?

Everyone: “…….”
