nThis miraculous goal took only 10 seconds.

nMany of the Eastern District players were still basking in glory for completing Political Commissar Xu’s orders when the goal was scored!

nFast! The goal was too fast for any of them to react!

nThe referee was the only person on the pitch who saw the whole process.

nDong Xuebing had left a deep impression with the referee from yesterday’s match. When Dong Xuebing came onto the pitch in this match, the referee was still laughing in his heart. A goalkeeper playing as a striker? What nonsense is this? But the referee knew that the Western District had no more reserves and he couldn’t care less. The match was about to end too. He had already placed the whistle in his mouth and prepared to end the game. But when he was about to blow the whistle, he saw Dong Xuebing started to run towards the penalty box on the other end of the field. The referee was curious about what was he doing.

nThe next moment, an unexplained situation happened.

nThe Eastern District midfielder kicked the ball back to his half without even looking back!

nThis was more than a stroke of luck. The referee even suspects that midfielder was in cahoots with Dong Xuebing. The referee swore that the midfielder’s long pass back was after Dong Xuebing started running. There were no indications that he will pass the ball back. He just turned around suddenly and kicked the ball back towards Dong Xuebing’s direction. The ball landed perfectly at Dong Xuebing’s feet. What a coincidence! He could not understand how Dong Xuebing did it. It seems impossible!

nAfter the goal was scored, the referee was stunned. He stood there for almost 5 seconds, before blowing the full-time whistle!

nThe referee wondered who this person was. It was too unbelievable!

n1:0. Western District Branch Bureau won the game!

nAt the stands, Tan Limei grabbed Zhuang Zhi and Changjuan’s hands. “Damn! Am I dreaming? We won? We really won this match!?”

nOld Yan, who does not like football, was also excited. “Our Xiao Dong is excellent!”

nCheers! Screams! Shouts!

nThe stadium was in an uproar!

nXu Yan, Li Qing and the rest of Western District supporters ran onto the pitch!

nAll the Western District players had already surrounded Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong! You are terrific!”

nThe player from the bureau’s Commission for Discipline Inspection: “I swear that goal was the most beautiful goal I saw in my life!”

nA tall player from the Political Section asked: “When did you run over there? It’s too fast! The goal was scored before I can even react!”

n“It’s only a coincidence.” Dong Xuebing smiled and stood up.

n“Brothers!” A defender from Public Security Sixth Bureau clapped his hands. “Let’s have a celebration!”

n“Hahaha! Sure!”

n“That’s what I am thinking too!”

nAll the players turned and looked at Dong Xuebing. Before Dong Xuebing realized what was happening, 7 to 8 players grabbed him and threw him up in the air. “Yeah!” The players caught him as he lands and then threw him up in the air again. “Yeah!” this continued for 5 to 6 times. Before Dong Xuebing got back on his feet, he noticed his boots were lost!

nDong Xuebing was overjoyed when he saw his teammates so happy. He finally got the revenge for Deputy Branch Bureau Chief Xu and Zhuang Zhi!

n“Let him down!” Xu Yan walked quickly towards them. “Xiao Dong has just been discharged from the hospital and is not fully recovered!”

nThe players remembered this and quickly put down Dong Xuebing. They were even more impressed with Dong Xuebing. That’s right. Xiao Dong got injured when he ran into the burning office to retrieve documents. But before he recovered from his injuries, he managed to save a penalty kick and scored the winning goal in the last few seconds of today’s match.

nNo wonder his nickname was “firefighter!”

nHe really deserves this nickname! Whenever there are difficulties, he will be there to save the day!

nDong Xuebing stood at attention in front of the two approaching leaders. “Chief Xu, Director Li!”

nLi Qing had a wide grin on his face: “You did not disappoint everyone of us! Good! Good!”

nXu Yan did not say anything, but from her eyes, everyone could tell that she was overjoyed.

nThe other side of the field, the Eastern District players were looking down in despair. Deputy District Political Commissar Xu faced was red with anger. She pointed to the midfielder who gave away that goal and scolded. “What the hell are you doing? There are only seconds away from the end of the match, and you make this stupid mistake? What did I say before the match? Ah? Are eyes behind your head? No? Then why did you kick the ball back? Why didn’t you check if the coast is clear before you pass the ball? You all! What are the rest of you doing? Don’t you understand what is one on one marking? Did you all mark him?”

nThe midfielder and the rest of the players bowed their head. There was no way to retort. They were also frustrated by the score. It was almost the end of the match, and a reserve goalkeeper scored the winning goal? This sounded like a joke. But this was the truth, and it was still a beautiful goal!

nPolitical Commissar Xu was still not satisfied. She continued scolding her players.

nXu Yan looked over at the other team. She felt relieved. She had finally vented the frustrations she kept in her heart for years.

n“All of you have done well. Go back and have a good rest. Work is as usual tomorrow!” Xu Yan said. As she turned and walked past Dong Xuebing, she said softly: “Thank you……”

nBut Xu Yan was too soft, and Dong Xuebing did not hear it. “Ah? What did you say?”

nXu Yan’s expression returned to her usual no-nonsense, serious expression. She patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulders and walked out of the stadium with Li Qing. Behind them, the players and supporters crowded around Dong Xuebing.

nOnly Guo Shunjie stood away from Dong Xuebing. He was looking terrible. He also wishes for his team to win, but he did not want Dong Xuebing to score the goal. If it was like this, he rather lost the match. Seeing Dong Xuebing was the center of attraction, he was pissed! Why was this guy so lucky? This happens every time. When will his good luck end?

nAfter today, Dong Xuebing’s nickname “Firefighter” spread to every office in the Western District Branch Bureau!
