Power and Wealth-Chapter 176 – Giving out a favor!

Chapter 176 – Giving out a favor!

Constant Temperature and Humidity Room became quiet.

The joy on Dong Xuebing, Wang Fu, and the rest face disappeared. Their expressions were like they have not cracked the case. Yes. If the hacker is someone else, Dong Xuebing will have gotten the credit of catching the hacker. But the hacker is someone related to the County Government Leader. From the way the hacker attacked the government websites, he should be very young. Most likely, the hacker is the child of one of the leaders. If this matter was exposed, Dong Xuebing would offend a lot of people!

Get the credit of catching the hacker?

No! Dong Xuebing cannot claim this credit!

Dong Xuebing was frustrated. He had finally got the chance to show his capability. Why did things turn out like this? But now, the internet police officers from the County knew the address of the hacker. He cannot cover it up. Damn! If he reports the hacker to the County’s Leaders, they will pursue this… No. Even if the higher-ups do not pursue this, the leaders in the county government will still know about this. Dong Xuebing’s future days in the County Bureau will be hell!

Wang Fu, Xiao Han, and the rest realized the severity of this matter. They had discovered something they were not supposed to find out.

Endless troubles… Wang Fu asked: “Chief Dong, this…” He needs to ask the team leader.

Dong Xuebing rubbed the center of his brows. Suddenly, he came up with an idea to kill two birds with a stone. Since everyone knows about this, then he will just return to the time when they are no aware. Over the past few days, Dong Xuebing had accumulated 23 BACKS and had only used 6 minutes earlier. He still has 17 minutes left.

Yes! This will solve the problem!

BACK 10 minutes!

……

Time returned!

Dong Xuebing felt dizzy, and random scenes appeared in from of him. He was still dreaming.

“He’s here! Our Public Security website! Xiao Wang! Xiao Han! Wake up!”

Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and looked at Wang Fu and the rest who were typing furiously on their keyboards. Time had returned!

“Xiao Han, engage him and stop him from running away. Xiao Wang, follow him and don’t let him notice you.”

“He got away! He is too fast!”

“I could not catch up with him.”

Dong Xuebing was relieved. The hacker was not caught yet. “It’s fine. Continue to watch your stations and repair the website first. I will go out for a while.” Dong Xuebing stretched after leaving the room. It was already bright, and he went to the toilet to wash his face before taking a taxi to Chun Shui Road.

County Government’s Party Committee members’ family quarters.

Dong Xuebing walked in, and the guards did not stop him.

Dong Xuebing remembered the address and went upstairs to knock on a unit.

The door opened, and it was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing high heels and a professional suit. She seems to be going to work. “Who are you looking for?”

Dong Xuebing smiled and showed his work pass to the woman.

The woman was stunned. “… You are Chief Dong? Are you looking for my husband? He had left for work. If you need to find him, you can go to his office.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Actually, I am here for your son. Can I go first?”

“My son?” The woman’s face changed and quickly let Dong Xuebing enter. After closing the door, she asked. “What did Xiao Hua do?” She was afraid her son had got into fights or got into any trouble at school.

“Mum…” A young man in his late teens walked out of a room. “Who is it?”

The woman asked sternly: “This is Chief Dong from the County’s Public Security Bureau. Tell me! What did you do in school again?”

Xiao Hua heard it and panicked. “Mum, I… I did not cause any trouble.”

Dong Xuebing looked at that teenager and knew he got the hacker. He turned to the woman and smiled. “Aunty, are you aware that the County Government’s website was hacked, and the County Chief’s name is changed?”

The woman paused for a second and replied. “I know about this incident.” Everyone in the family quarters knows about this.

Dong Xuebing saw Xiao Hua’s face changed, and he continued. “I am handling this case. This morning, about 40 minutes ago, our County Public Security’s website is hacked, and we finally got some clues.”

The woman seems to understand something, and her face turned pale.

Dong Xuebing continued: “From the hacker’s IP address, I found an address… which is your apartment.”

The woman’s lips were trembling as she asked: “Is…… it my son?”

Xiao Hua immediately cried out: “Mum, it’s not me! Really!”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “If I do not have evidence, I will also not be sitting here. This is a serious case, and you should understand that the County Chief treated this case as a political criminal case, and we are tasked to handle it.”

The woman grabbed her son. “Are you the one? Tell me!”

Xiao Hua looked down and kept quiet.

The woman’s eyes turned red, and tears were about to flow down. She raised her hand and gave her son a slap. “Stupid! Why do I have a son like you!”

Xiao Hua was scared. “Mum, I am only doing this for fun and don’t mean any harm.”

The woman was furious. “I knew you will get into trouble sooner or later! It is all your father’s fault for spoiling you! Have you forgotten the lesson when you destroyed your school’s website? What did I tell you then?! Ah? You bastard!”

Dong Xuebing quickly moves forward to stop the woman. “Aunty, don’t be so agitated.”

How can the woman be not agitated? The Public Security already knows Xiao Hua is the hacker. Not only her son will be going to jail, but her husband’s career will also be implicated and destroyed! Their whole family will be finished! The woman turned and faced Dong Xuebing. “Chief Dong, have Chief Liang reported this incident to the County Government?” She needs to inform her husband immediately to prepare him from getting caught unaware by his rivals.

Dong Xuebing paused for a while and replied. “Chief Liang and the County leaders are still unaware of this. I am the one who cracked this case, and only I know about this.”

The woman asked. “What about the internet police officers who are in-charge of investigation?”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I did not tell them because this incident is quite difficult to handle.”

The woman turned to her son. “Xiao Hua! Get back to your room now!”

Xiao Hua looked at Dong Xuebing and then his mum, before returning to his room. He still could not understand how Public Security tracked him. He was cautious!

Outside, the woman pulled Dong Xuebing into the master bedroom and closed the door, and started crying.

Dong Xuebing quickly comfort her. “Aunty, stop crying.”

The woman was still weeping. “Chief Dong, I only have this son. Sob… Xiao Hua is still young and playful. Can you don’t report him to the higher-ups? Our whole family will remember this favor.” Now, only Chief Dong knows about this, and the woman knew that if he does not report her son, no one will know about this. Since this newly posted Deputy Bureau Chief came to see her, that means there is still room for negotiation. Chief Dong should be after something from her.

Dong Xuebing frowned. “The higher-ups gave me a 2 days deadline to solve the case. In a few more hours, the time will be up. Since we know who is the hacker, how can I don’t report to the higher-ups? I have to be responsible for my police crest on my shoulders.”

The woman looked at Dong Xuebing with teary eyes. “Don’t worry. I will not let Xiao Hua touch any PCs again!”

Dong Xuebing: “This…”

The woman gritted her teeth and thought Dong Xuebing wanted money. She bent over and took out a jade necklace from a closet. The necklace is a high-quality jade necklace. Although it is small, it is worth over 100,000 RMB. “Take this necklace back for your wife or girlfriend.”

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Aunty, what are you doing?”

The woman pushes the necklace into Dong Xuebing’s hand. “Take it.”

“No. I cannot accept this.” Dong Xuebing was not there for the money. He will not accept this necklace, which will get him into trouble.

“Then… then…” The woman panicked and grabbed Dong Xuebing’s arms and kneel down in front of him. “I am begging you. Please let my son off.”

“Don’t… don’t do this.” Dong Xuebing helped the woman up. “Stop. Don’t do this.”

The woman’s tears were flowing down her face. “I am begging you. Please…”

“Have a seat first.” Dong Xuebing helped the woman to her bed and hesitated. “You are making things difficult for me. We have found the suspect, and I need to answer to the County Government and Bureau’s leaders later. What should I do?”

The woman grabbed Dong Xuebing’s hands. “Chief Dong, I know you can help me. Please help our family this time.”

Dong Xuebing sighed. “…fine. I… I will try my best.”

The woman was overjoyed. “Thank you!” She tried to put the jade necklace into Dong Xuebing’s pocket secretly.

Dong Xuebing pushed the necklace away. “Aunty, stop doing this.”

“But…”

In the end, Dong Xuebing did not accept any of her gifts when he left. He only reminded the woman to watch her son closely.

The woman did not expect Dong Xuebing to reject her gifts. She was very grateful to Dong Xuebing and knew her family owes him a big favor. She wiped her tears and called her husband to tell him what had happened.

On the way back to the Bureau, Dong Xuebing received a call from an unknown number.

Dong Xuebing answered. “Hello?”

There was a pause for about 2 seconds, and a man said. “Thank you.”

Dong Xuebing knew it must be Xiao Hua’s father.

Dong Xuebing had successfully given out a favor, stopped the hacker from attacking the government’s websites, and prevented himself from offending the leaders in the County Government!
