Chapter 77: Do you believe I can faint for you to see?
Wu Bin had a reputation as a delicate college student, and Ding Hu had heard of it long before.
After all, the hotpot stand was founded because of Wu Bin.
Initially, Ding Hu found Wu Bin quite amusing with his frequent hospital visits.
Until Wu Bin sent his older nephew, Ding Xin, to the hospital, Ding Hu no longer thought it was funny.
According to the laws of Dragon Country, as the head coach of the swimming team, Ding Xin had committed a crime by inviting Wu Bin to a breath-holding bet that led to his drowning.
If both parties were to sue, the court would only consider Wu Bin's condition at the time of his emergency admission when making a ruling.
And it wouldn't dismiss the case just because Wu Bin recovered quickly and well.
After all, how you harm someone and how quickly they recover due to their good constitution are two different things.
That's why Ding Xin was still detained at the police station while Wu Bin had already returned flamboyantly to eat hotpot.
Knowing that Ding Hu came to cause trouble, Wu Bin did not plan to indulge him.
Wu Bin deliberately said, "Yes, I was discharged from the hospital today, I'm happy, so I brought two friends over for a meal, any problem with that?"
Seeing Wu Bin even daring to question him, Ding Hu was extremely furious and subconsciously wanted to hit Wu Bin.
Tang Xin, seeing the situation was bad, hurriedly came over to persuade, "Brother Hu, the camera is recording, don't be impulsive."
Tang Xin's remark calmed Ding Hu down.
Ding Hu still had some of the demeanor of a big brother, restraining himself decidedly without any ambiguity.
Ding Hu changed his previously angry demeanor and smiled at Wu Bin, "Wu Bin, it's certainly a good thing to be discharged from the hospital, but you must remember, by offending our Ding Family, the matter isn't over."
Hearing Ding Hu say this, the viewers in the livestream could not sit still.
"Damn, who is this guy, daring to threaten my Brother Wu so arrogantly?"
"The younger brother of Ding Qiang from the university's board of directors, heard he used to mix in the underworld, many people despise him deeply, but he's definitely a tough guy."
"No wonder he says it's not over, if this guy secretly trips up my Brother Wu, won't my Brother Wu, just a college student, be ruined?"
The viewers all began to worry for Wu Bin.
Unfortunately, Ding Hu's comment didn't legally constitute a threat, and he did not hit Wu Bin.
This left the viewers wanting to report Ding Hu but without any means to do so.
Ding Hu initially thought his powerful speech had already intimidated Wu Bin.
Little did he know, Wu Bin was not intimidated whatsoever but smiled and said, "Boss Ding, you better be careful with your words, don't you know I'm fragile?"
"The first time I was hospitalized was because the instructor's voice was a bit loud, and it gave me a heart attack."
"If you keep threatening me like this, believe it or not, I'll faint for you to see?"
Ding Hu sneered repeatedly.
Of course, he knew about Wu Bin's fragility.
Since Ding Xin had been detained, Ding Hu had watched Wu Bin's livestreams from start to finish.
Ding Hu said to Wu Bin, "That act of yours might scare others, but it's not enough to scare me."
"Don't say I haven't touched you, even if I did, do you think I would be afraid of you passing out?"
"My Ding Family has plenty of money, we can afford it."
"As for you, Wu Bin, you better not wander around the campus too much. It would be unfortunate if you accidentally got knocked over by someone and they ran off before you could even find out who it was."
Arrogant!
Dominant!
Although Wu Bin had already heard from Xu Wenyao what kind of person Ding Hu was,
it was only after meeting him personally that Wu Bin truly understood Ding Hu's arrogance and dominance.
Unlike Ding Xin, Ding Hu not only had money but also a group of loyal followers willing to risk their lives for him.
So once Ding Hu really hurt Wu Bin by accident, there were plenty of underlings who could take the blame for him, as long as a sufficient bribe was given.
This was the fundamental reason why Ding Hu was so arrogant.
Seeing the two men at loggerheads, Ma Baoguo awkwardly smiled and said, "Brother Hu, we are all from the Agricultural University. There's no need to make things so tense."
"Do me a favor and let this matter with student Wu Bin go."
Ma Baoguo was a genuinely nice person and, despite his fear of Ding Hu, he was willing to speak up for Wu Bin.
After all, in Ma Baoguo's view, Wu Bin hadn't really done anything wrong; Ding Hu was merely bullying him.
In contrast, Jiang Lin had previously boasted loudly that he was a real man.
But when he saw how Ding Hu was bullying Wu Bin, he didn't utter a word.
Coward!
Seeing Ma Baoguo step forward to mediate, Ding Hu laughed.
"What did you say? Do we know each other?"
Ma Baoguo was extremely embarrassed but still tried to save face.
"Brother Hu, you really forget a lot, senior. This morning when you guys came back from buying goods, wasn't it me who opened the school gate for you?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Hu suddenly remembered.
"Oh, right, right, right, you were the security guard who opened the gate for us this morning."
"I remember you're a distant relative of Xu Wenyao, aren't you?"
Hearing Ding Hu say this, Ma Baoguo nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, Brother Hu, my name is Ma Baoguo."
As soon as Ma Baoguo finished speaking, Ding Hu reached out and patted him on the face.
"Even if Xu Wenyao himself came today, I wouldn't care, let alone a mere security guard like you?"
"What, these last few days has the Agricultural University equipped you security guards with stun guns so you start thinking you're hot stuff?"
"What face do you have that makes me need to let Wu Bin off, hmm?"
Ma Baoguo hadn't expected to be publicly humiliated by Ding Hu like this, and was furious.
Fortunately, Ma Baoguo restrained himself and didn't do anything too excessive.
Ding Hu also felt that things were heated enough, especially since there were cameras recording; he still had many harsh words he couldn't openly say to Wu Bin.
Ding Hu stood up and said to his group of underlings behind him.
"Come on, brothers, since student Wu Bin likes hotpot, let's join him."
Under Ding Hu's lead, a group of thugs sat down around Wu Bin and began to eat hotpot as well.
However, this action put a lot of pressure on Wu Bin.
After all, having so many people staring at you while you eat is quite unnerving.
Jiang Lin had not expected that coming over for a free meal would lead to such big trouble.
Jiang Lin sensibly realized that it was time to leave.
If he stayed any longer, he might be mistaken for being on Wu Bin's side if a fight broke out, and that would be a misunderstanding.
Compared to Jiang Lin, Ma Baoguo showed more loyalty.
Ma Baoguo leaned in and whispered to Wu Bin, "Wu Bin, as they say, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Why don't you just apologize to Ding Hu and write a letter of understanding for Ding Xin, then this whole matter can be put behind us, right?"
Ding Hu actually just wanted Wu Bin's letter of understanding.
With it, he was confident he could use his connections to have Ding Xin acquitted and even secure an early release for him.
Wu Bin knew what Ding Hu was up to, and that was exactly why he refused to write the letter of understanding.
