NOVPUB"Wu Bin, you… you’re okay now?"
Yu Kai stepped forward, somewhat incredulous.
Looking at the unfamiliar man in front of him, Wu Bin wore a puzzled face.
"Who are you?"
Xu Wenyao hurriedly stepped forward to introduce, "This is Yu Kai from our Magictown Education Department. He came specifically to visit after hearing that you, Wu Bin, had been poisoned."
Damn!
Is a leader in education such a big deal?
Wu Bin’s hand trembled, his mouth askew.
Lying on the stretcher, he appeared barely breathing, feebly saying, "Thank you… thank you for the leader’s concern."
"I still feel a bit dizzy, and it seems my legs are weak."
Yu Kai: …
Weren’t you just eating oranges?
Who are you putting on this act for?
Those around felt Wu Bin was somewhat shameless, yet you couldn’t just say anything.
After all, he had indeed just come back from death’s door, who could guarantee he wasn’t really experiencing dizziness and leg pain?
It can’t be helped, the camera is right here.
Yu Kai could only proceed with the usual warm condolences.
"Wu Bin, you just rest easy in the hospital and don’t worry about anything else."
"See if there’s any difficulty you’re facing, tell me, and I’ll help you sort it out."
Wu Bin never forgot the task Xu Wenyao had assigned to him, and he said very ’weakly’, "Leader, there is this guy named Ding Qiang at our school, who bullies and tyrannizes the campus."
"The reason we were poisoned this time is because the hotpot stall was contracted to his younger brother, Ding Hu."
"Leader, can you help bring him to justice? If he isn’t taken down, I can’t sleep!"
As soon as Wu Bin said this, those around him subconsciously looked at Ding Qiang.
The cameraman even gave him a close-up shot.
At this moment, Ding Qiang’s face was as ugly as it could get.
Everyone knows it’s easy to dodge the open spear but hard to guard against the hidden arrow.
Well, you.
In front of so many people, directly aiming the arrow at my forehead, huh!
Wu Bin also noticed this odd scene and couldn’t help but ask Ding Qiang, "Who are you?"
Ding Qiang sneered.
"Wu Bin, you’re confused because of the illness, aren’t you? You don’t even recognize me anymore. I am Ding Qiang."
Wu Bin’s heart sunk.
Ah shoot, it’s done for.
Originally intending to stab in the back, it accidentally turned into stabbing face-to-face.
Xu Wenyao you old ascender, why didn’t you give me a heads-up!
Xu Wenyao spread his hands apologetically on the side, his eyes full of helplessness.
I didn’t know you’d be so bold, directly making moves right in front of the person himself!
Wu Bin steeled his heart.
No choice, have to play it by ear now!
Wu Bin said to Yu Kai, "Leader Yu, this is Ding Qiang! Quick, arrest him!"
Yu Kai’s face turned a bit awkward.
"Wu Bin, whether this matter is related to Ding Qiang or not, we need further investigation by the public security organs."
"But rest assured, I assure you that given the severe consequences and negative impact of this incident, no matter who is found to be related to the poisoning, our Education Department will absolutely not tolerate it!"
"For each one found, one will be taken to justice! To restore fairness and justice to you all!"
At some unknown time, Yu Kai’s assistant had blended into the crowd and shouted, "Good!"
Then began clapping frantically.
The surrounding crowd, not knowing what was going on, also started clapping and cheering.
It took a while before they came to their senses. Why aren’t my hands and mouth obeying me?
Yu Kai smiled and waved to the surrounding crowd, his face all amiable.
The image of impartiality and people-first leadership had been established.
This had stabilized the situation, minimizing the impact on himself.
At that moment, Ding Qiang also stepped forward, extended his hand to Wu Bin, and said, "Wu Bin, I don’t know if you have any misunderstanding about me, but I believe that after the investigation of this incident, you will find that I’m not as bad as you thought."
"As a board member of the Agricultural University, I genuinely wish for your speedy recovery."
In front of so many people, with Ding Qiang as a board member taking the initiative to offer his hand, you couldn’t really refuse to shake it, could you?
Ding Qiang offered his hand to Wu Bin, bearing his humiliations, hoping to get closer to him and see if he could be of use to him in the future.
After all, the futures of Ding Xin and Ding Hu were held by Wu Bin.
If Wu Bin was willing to cooperate with him.
Give a letter of understanding for Ding Xin to lessen his responsibility, maybe with a payment, he could be released, or even avoid jail.
If Wu Bin would change his statement to blame everything on Tang Xin, that charge could be transferred to Tang Xin, reducing Ding Hu’s role from main to secondary.
Thus, the sentencing of Ding Xin and Ding Hu all depended on Wu Bin.
Ding Qiang had already planned it—all he needed was to bear his burdens and, through a mix of bribes and threats, secure Wu Bin.
Once Ding Xin and Ding Hu were off the hook, he would then settle scores with Wu Bin come autumn.
Ding Qiang’s plans were watertight, only a shame Wu Bin wasn’t buying any of it.
Seeing Ding Qiang’s extended hand, Wu Bin looked alert.
Noticing Wu Bin’s demeanor, Ding Qiang gave a slight smile.
"Wu Bin, I know you have a misunderstanding, but it’s just a handshake; you aren’t afraid of that, are you?"
"Who said I’m afraid?"
In front of everyone, Wu Bin reached out his hand.
Just as Ding Qiang was about to offer some encouraging words, Wu Bin suddenly began to scream in pain.
"Director Ding, what are you doing? You’re hurting my hand!"
"Ah, damn, it hurts!"
Ding Qiang was dumbfounded.
What the hell are you acting for?
I didn’t even squeeze that hard!
Seeing something was wrong with Wu Bin, Li Guotai quickly stepped forward to separate them.
Li Guotai looked at Wu Bin’s hand and noticed a clear, slight distortion in his right fingers.
Touching it, Wu Bin sharply inhaled from the pain.
"Is this... a fracture?"
At Li Guotai’s words, Ding Qiang was baffled, and everyone around turned to him with expressions of surprise.
Wow, old timer, well done!
With such a big camera on you, you still dare pull these stunts?
Ding Qiang began to wave his hands.
"No, don’t look at me that way, I really didn’t apply any force!"
Yu Kai said sternly, "If you didn’t apply any force, how could Wu Bin’s hand be fractured?"
Looking at Wu Bin’s hand, which resembled a chicken’s claw, Ding Qiang also wondered.
Could my grip really be that strong?
"Okay, I admit I did apply a little bit of force. I got a bit excited."
Li Guotai gave Ding Qiang a cold look.
"We’re taking Wu Bin now to have an X-ray. If it really is a fracture, Director Ding, you might have to explain it to the police."
Ding Qiang cursed inwardly.
Just for a handshake, I have to explain it to the police?
Isn’t this kid just bizarre?
A crowd surrounded Wu Bin as they headed to the orthopedic department to get an X-ray.
Just then, an assistant came running back breathlessly with a bag in hand.
"Mr. Ding, the red underwear is bought, should I put them on now?"
Ding Qiang’s face turned ashen.
"Put them on my ass, it’s already too late."
Although he said that, Ding Qiang hesitated for a moment but still took the bag to the restroom.
