Chapter 28: The Shameless Mother and Son
Page 1 of 3
Just as Li Guotai was explaining things to He Bingbing, two more gurneys were hurriedly pushed in from outside.
“What happened?”
Seeing the two unfamiliar young faces, Li Guotai instinctively asked.
The doctor quickly replied, “They were sent over by the Agricultural University. Apparently, someone knocked them unconscious. They brought them here for examination.”
Li Guotai stepped forward and checked them over.
“They’re all right. They’ve only passed out. It shouldn’t be anything serious.”
“Send them for examination first. Don’t take them to the emergency room. Just looking at that place makes my heart race.”
Wu Bin had already pushed Li Guotai’s nerves to the breaking point.
Now, whenever he saw university students being wheeled into the hospital, Li Guotai felt uncomfortable from head to toe.
Once the viewers got a clear look at the two men’s faces, they cheered.
“Aren’t those the two traitors? They got beaten unconscious?”
“It really is them. When Wu Bin collapsed, they were outside watching the whole thing. Then Song Bing rushed out and gave them both a beating.”
“Serves them right! Traitors like them deserve exactly this kind of fate!”
“Can’t they find out who beat them? It would be a terrible bargain if the person who did it got punished over this.”
“Beating those two should count as an act of righteous intervention. Why would anyone be punished?”
“Speaking of which, where’s Principal Xu? In the past, whenever Wu Bin was admitted, he would arrive almost at the same time. Why is he dragging his feet today?”
Speak of the devil, and he appears.
Just as the viewers were wondering where Xu Wenyao had gone, he rushed in from outside with a group of university administrators.
“Director Li, we meet again.”
Xu Wenyao greeted Li Guotai with a smile, but Li Guotai only cast him a resentful look.
“Principal Xu, why don’t we discuss having our hospital establish a direct partnership with your university? Surely your students can’t keep coming to our hospital every day?”
Xu Wenyao looked slightly embarrassed.
“Isn’t Wu Bin the only one who comes here so often? Besides, Director Li, weren’t you rather pleased about it?”
“Pleased my foot.”
Li Guotai glared at Xu Wenyao.
“The boy is physically impressive, and there’s a great deal about him worth studying. But he can’t treat the hospital like his home, can he?”

“He’s being brought in every few days, and every time it’s an emergency. I’m genuinely worried that the old hands at our hospital won’t be able to take it much longer.”
“I heard this time he was driven into the hospital by a video game at your university. Are your students really that wild when they play games nowadays?”
The moment Li Guotai brought up the subject, Xu Wenyao’s expression turned solemn.
“I actually started cracking down on students playing games a long time ago.”
“Students should focus primarily on their studies. There’s nothing wrong with relaxing with a couple of games after a hard day’s work. But now they’ve even started making bets on the outcome. That is absolutely unacceptable!”
“So what happened to Wu Bin has sounded an alarm for us as well. When it comes to students playing games, the Agricultural University will certainly tighten its restrictions. We absolutely cannot allow this unhealthy trend to spread across our campus.”
There were already many Agricultural University students in the livestream.
As soon as they heard Xu Wenyao say this, they began wailing in despair.
“Oh God! The university is really going to crack down on gaming now? How are we supposed to live?”
“It’s over. Looks like my chances of reaching the highest rank this season are gone.”
“Why do I feel like the principal is using Brother Wu to stir things up? First he dealt with the illegal planting problem, and now he’s turning his attention to gaming.”
“Junior, your feeling is right. Principal Xu has wanted to carry out sweeping reforms for a long time. He just never found the right opportunity. Now that the opportunity has arrived, how could he not make full use of it?”
Students from the other universities silently offered their sympathy to the students of the Agricultural University.
Many of them had gone to college merely to obtain a diploma. But after Wu Bin’s ordeal, graduating without a care in the world would probably be impossible.
While Xu Wenyao was speaking, a middle-aged woman hurried over from the distance with Zhao Hao.
When she saw Xu Wenyao and Li Guotai standing outside the emergency room, the woman froze.
“Principal Xu, what are you doing here too?”
The three of them clearly knew one another.
Xu Wenyao glanced at the middle-aged woman and frowned.
“Mrs. Li, does this matter have something to do with you?”
Li Yan nodded awkwardly.
“Not really. My son told me that the student who fainted in anger was his good friend, so I hurried over to take a look.”
Xu Wenyao knew Li Yan’s character very well. He understood that if this matter had nothing to do with her family, she would never have come in person.
He looked at Zhao Hao, and everything became clear at once.
“I understand. You’re the one who arranged that parent-child wager with Wu Bin, aren’t you?”
Zhao Hao’s face instantly went pale.

He stammered in protest, “Principal, I... I never imagined he’d be so fragile. It was only a stolen five-kill, yet he actually got so angry that he passed out.”
The moment Li Yan heard this, her heart jolted, and she cursed her son silently for being an idiot.
Didn’t he realize that saying this was practically admitting he had something to do with Wu Bin’s collapse?
She reached out and tugged at Zhao Hao, signaling him to stop talking.
Then Li Yan took a thick envelope from her bag and held it out.
“Principal Xu, my son is simply loyal and kind-hearted.”
“When he told me about this today, I honestly couldn’t understand it. A student from the neighboring dormitory fainted—what could that possibly have to do with my Zhao Hao?”
“But I know my son’s nature. He’s a kind boy. Since they’re all classmates, this ten thousand yuan is just a small token of our sincerity. We hope you can pass it along for us.”
Her speech immediately provoked a torrent of abuse from the viewers.
“Like mother, like son! Wu Bin was driven into the hospital by people Zhao Hao arranged, and she still claims it has nothing to do with him?”
“Strictly speaking, there really may not be much of a legal connection. That woman’s husband is probably quite wealthy, so she wants to settle the matter with money before it gets out of hand.”
“As expected, for the rich, money is the solution to every problem.”
“Wasn’t Zhao Hao acting so arrogant before? Why isn’t he making a fuss now?”
“Because he used a little dirty money to buy off some traitors and thought he could play Wu Bin’s pretend father. But now Wu Bin has evolved beyond human limits and become his real father! Hahaha!”
“If Wu Bin doesn’t make it, Zhao Hao’s future won’t be pleasant. Trust me.”
Events proved that some of the viewers truly understood the situation.
If an ordinary student had been admitted to the hospital, then so be it. It really would not have had much to do with Zhao Hao.
But the person who had been taken inside was none other than Wu Bin—the ultimate natural guinea pig!
If anything truly happened to Wu Bin, forget Xu Wenyao. Even Li Guotai would never let Zhao Hao off easily.
Xu Wenyao did not accept the envelope. He merely said coldly, “Whether this has anything to do with you will become clear later. For now, what you say doesn’t decide anything.”
