Yu Kai glanced at Lu Peihua and sneered, "After causing such a big mess, your son no longer needs you to discipline him."
As those words left Yu Kai’s mouth, Lu Peihua instantly broke into a cold sweat.
Although the casualties this time were not many, it was because Wu Bin and the firefighters had risked their lives to save people, thus avoiding more casualties.
What did Lu Yuan do?
Inside the semi-closed private room, they were having a teapot stove party, which led to a mass carbon monoxide poisoning, incapacitating the students.
He grabbed an alcohol pot and added fuel directly to it, causing his younger brother Gao Bai to suffer severe burns as well.
One could say the trouble Lu Yuan caused this time was much more serious than Ding Xin’s.
If things went poorly, Lu Yuan would have to spend the next ten to twenty years in prison.
Just as Lu Peihua was about to make some excuses for his son, Lu Yuan, bandaged around the head, wobbled over from the distance.
"Dad, it’s gone, our restaurant has burned down!"
"I spent six million just on renovations! Including the building, more than ten million is gone!"
Lu Yuan was devastated.
He could never have imagined that a meal with classmates would cost him the restaurant.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
He was just too unlucky!
Seeing how unfilial Lu Yuan was, Lu Peihua gritted his teeth and said, "Right now, you should be thinking about people, not money!"
"People?"
Lu Yuan hadn’t quite grasped the situation yet.
"What people? I’m fine, aren’t I?"
Indeed, Lu Yuan wasn’t badly injured, apart from hitting his head on a window when Wu Bin threw him down from the building, there was not much else to speak of.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lu Peihua reminded him:
"Have you forgotten about Gao Bai? He’s still in the emergency room undergoing rescue efforts because of you, with severe burns, and it’s highly likely that he’s been disfigured."
"And Wu Bin—if not for him, all of you would have died in that restaurant!"
"Don’t you feel even the slightest bit of guilt?"
Lu Yuan was still clueless.
"What are you even talking about? How could it be that without Wu Bin, I would have died in the restaurant? Dad, make yourself clear."
"Also, the thing with Gao Bai was just an accident. I’ve thought it through; I’ll pay three million as compensation. As long as his family is willing to forgive me, then it’s not a big deal."
Everyone was taken aback by Lu Yuan’s words.
Lu Peihua felt as if he had somehow sired a pig.
The location was still being broadcasted live, and as the big boss, Yu Kai was still standing right here.
Yet you’ve injured someone and show no remorse, only thinking about the burned-down restaurant.
That would have been bad enough, but to propose paying three million to settle the matter?
Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey!
Yu Kai, standing to the side, sneered:
"If your son had lived in ancient times, he would undoubtedly be a local tyrant."
"This fire incident is the most severe and shocking I’ve seen in my twenty years of service."
"Lu Peihua, now you tell me, what constitutes a ’big deal’?"
At that moment, Lu Peihua was on the verge of tears.
"Leader, my son hasn’t yet officially entered society, he’s blunt and doesn’t think before he speaks, please calm your anger."
Lu Peihua was doing his best to make amends, but just then, Lu Yuan suddenly piped up.
"Dad, why bother talking so much with him? He clearly doesn’t understand anything."
"Don’t worry, Dad. I, Lu Yuan, will take full responsibility for my actions. I’ll cover all the medical expenses for the classmates involved in today’s gathering!"
```
Lu Yuan originally thought that by saying this, he would appear very manly and responsible.
But to his surprise, everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot.
This kind of gaze made Lu Yuan unable to bear it any longer.
"What are you all looking at me for? Didn’t I say I would cover all the medical expenses for my classmates?"
"What, am I not allowed to do a good deed anymore?"
Lu Yuan felt baffled inside.
He had voluntarily offered to pay for the medical expenses, yet why were the looks he was getting from those around him still so complicated?
Yu Kai spoke up again, "It seems that Young Master Lu still hasn’t realized the severity of the situation. President Lu, why don’t you explain it to him in detail?"
Lu Peihua nodded to show he understood.
He then made a gesture to Lu Yuan, signaling him to follow.
Only when they were alone in a corner did Lu Yuan ask, "Dad, why do I feel like you’re very tense right now…"
Smack!
Before Lu Yuan could finish his sentence, Lu Peihua fiercely slapped his face.
"Lu Yuan, how did I end up raising such a blockhead!"
"It’s indeed an accident that you unintentionally burned Gao Bai, but was it also an accident when that huge fire broke out in the restaurant?"
"How did your fire inspection pass? Wu Bin warned you about the fire hazards in the restaurant. How did you deal with that? Do you not know that all of this was captured on a live stream?"
"The most important thing is, why did you provoke Wu Bin! Don’t you know that he’s bad news?"
Ever since Ding Xin and Ding Hu were taken away, the members of the school board started to feel that something was off.
Wu Bin was like a harbinger of disaster; anyone who encountered him ended up unlucky.
Previously, several members of the school board enjoyed taking strolls across the Agricultural University campus, enjoying the leisure of walking in their own backyard.
But ever since Wu Bin arrived at the Agricultural University, everything turned into chaos.
It was like throwing a wolf cub into a sheep pen. Wu Bin could bring down the top dog with just one move, and no one could withstand Wu Bin’s tactics.
Seeing how angry Lu Peihua was, Lu Yuan covered his face and said softly, "I didn’t expect such a thing to happen; who would have thought this guy was really a jinx."
Lu Peihua gave Lu Yuan a deep look and said:
"This fire was caused by you, and it was because of Wu Bin that so many students from the Agricultural University were able to survive."
"So from the start, Wu Bin has been a living god to both of us."
"He’d better be safe and sound. You’d better straighten up as well, and stop talking nonsense like it’s a small matter."
"This is no small issue; if things go wrong, you could be locked up for ten, twenty years. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing what Lu Peihua said, Lu Yuan was stunned.
No way.
He had invited his classmates for a meal, and after one night’s sleep, he was looking at a twenty-year prison sentence?
That can’t be right!
Is there no justice? Is there no law?
Just as Lu Yuan was about to retort in disbelief, the door to the emergency room opened.
Wu Bin, wrapped in bandages, was wheeled out looking just like a mummy.
Seeing Wu Bin in that state, everyone was stunned.
Was he being prepared for burial in Egypt?
The first to snap out of it was Xu Wenyao, who hurried over and asked, "Director Li, how is Wu Bin right now?"
Li Guotai sighed and said, "He’s saved his life, but he’s not out of the woods yet; he needs to be hospitalized for observation."
"The area of burns on his body is too extensive. He’s likely disfigured."
