Chapter 24: Trouble Comes Knocking
Yuan Shengrui was just about to grab a bite to eat when he saw Wang Bin leisurely strolling along the campus path.
Upon seeing Wang Bin, a look of hatred flashed in Yuan Shengrui's eyes. He immediately dialed Young Master Li's number to inform him of Wang Bin's whereabouts.
Yuan Shengrui was Wang Bin's roommate, but ever since Wang Bin started dating Zhao Ya, the two hadn't spoken a word, and Yuan Shengrui had come to see Wang Bin as an enemy.
Here's what happened: in their freshman year, Yuan Shengrui had a crush on Zhao Ya and organized a mixer with Zhao Ya's dorm.
He invited Wang Bin, You Hongfei, and Li Xingping to help him pursue Zhao Ya and maybe see if they were interested in anyone from Zhao Ya's dorm.
But during the gathering, Zhao Ya and Wang Bin hit it off, and the two ended up together.
Yuan Shengrui felt that Wang Bin had stolen his love, and since then, he harbored a grudge against Wang Bin.
After Young Master Li was kicked by Wang Bin that night, he had someone investigate Wang Bin's family background and found out that Wang Bin came from a rural family with no significant background.
Upon learning this, Young Master Li was furious and immediately sought out people to deal with Wang Bin.
When Young Master Li's men arrived at the dorm, Wang Bin, You Hongfei, and Li Xingping were not there, only Yuan Shengrui was.
Yuan Shengrui was startled at first, but upon learning they were looking for Wang Bin, he eagerly offered his services to Young Master Li, promising to notify him immediately if he found out Wang Bin's whereabouts. Thus, Yuan Shengrui got in touch with Young Master Li.
Now, having spotted Wang Bin at school, he felt the time for revenge had come.
"Young Master Li, I've found Wang Bin!"
"Oh, where is he?"
"He's right here at school!"
"Very well, keep an eye on him, I'll send someone over right away!"
"Understood!"
Yuan Shengrui hung up the phone and hid in the shadows, trailing Wang Bin.
Perhaps due to his time spent in the apocalypse, Wang Bin's senses were sharp, and he quickly realized someone was following him.
Stolen story; please report.
Without a change in expression, Wang Bin took out his phone, pretending to take pictures, and casually snapped a few shots of the campus scenery.
Yuan Shengrui saw Wang Bin, seemingly oblivious to his impending doom, still in the mood to take photos, and cursed him silently.
What he didn't expect was that while taking photos, Wang Bin had casually switched to selfie mode, capturing Yuan Shengrui lurking not far behind.
Seeing that the stalker was Yuan Shengrui, Wang Bin sneered inwardly.
It was true that Yuan Shengrui had first taken a liking to Zhao Ya, but they never got together. Who would have thought he'd hold such a grudge, opposing him at every turn for three years?
Wang Bin didn't take Yuan Shengrui seriously at all.
In the past, Yuan Shengrui could use his family's wealth to belittle him, but Yuan Shengrui's family was worth at most ten million, while Wang Bin's assets were over a billion. His advantage was no longer an advantage.
"If you want to follow me, go ahead. I want to see what tricks you can play!"
Wang Bin calmed his mind and continued to stroll leisurely around the campus.
Half an hour later, a group of people found Yuan Shengrui, who pointed out Wang Bin's location, and they immediately marched over to surround him.
"Are you Wang Bin?"
"Yes, I am. What do you want with me?"
"Oh, you've got guts, not scared at all!"
These people looked fierce, but Wang Bin really didn't take them seriously. In the apocalypse, whether it was the Axe Gang or the Mad Sand Gang, they were a hundred times more ruthless than these people, and many from those gangs had been killed. Why would he fear these men?
"What's your name?"
"I'm Brother Dong from the Black Tiger Gang in H City. Heard of us?"
"Nope!"
"Kid, are you messing with me?"
"Cut the crap. If you have something to say, say it!"
"Alright, alright. You've offended Young Master Li, and he's ordered us to cripple one of your legs. Kid, you'd better come with us quietly, and you might suffer less."
"If you have the ability, go ahead, not just one leg, even both hands and legs. But this isn't the place to do it. How about we find another spot?"
"Alright, if you're looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Enough talk. How about the foot of Changchong Mountain in the northern suburbs?"
"Fine, you won't run away, will you?"
"You can just follow me!"
"Hmph!"
With that, Wang Bin strode out of the campus, and Brother Dong and his men followed closely behind.
Many people on campus witnessed the scene and recognized Wang Bin. Many knew he had angered Young Master Li and speculated that these people were sent by Young Master Li to cause trouble for Wang Bin.
Many people worried for Wang Bin, but he showed no fear.
Outside the campus, Wang Bin hailed a cab and headed straight for the destination.
Brother Dong and his men followed closely in a van.
"Brother Dong, this kid is leading us to Changchong Mountain. Could he have called for reinforcements there?"
"That's possible. Call some more brothers over immediately!"
"Got it!"
Half an hour later, Wang Bin arrived at the foot of Changchong Mountain in the cab.
As soon as he got out, Brother Dong and his men parked and jumped out as well.
Brother Dong and his men looked around cautiously, finding no one else, and were puzzled.
"Stop looking, there's no ambush, just me!" Wang Bin saw through their thoughts at a glance.
"Kid, you're arrogant!"
"There's no one here, let's get started!"
"Kid, if you hadn't offended Young Master Li, I'd actually want to be friends with you!"
"Enough talk!"
"Get him!"
With a wave of Brother Dong's hand, four or five underlings rushed toward Wang Bin.
In the past, Wang Bin might have been a bit afraid, but now he had not only trained in the apocalypse but also advanced his Diamond Palm to the second level.
While dodging, Wang Bin struck out with his palm. With a smack, the person he hit flew backward.
"Be careful, this kid knows martial arts!"
"Get the weapons!"
Seeing Wang Bin knock someone away with one strike, Brother Dong and his men were a bit scared and rushed to the van to grab various sticks and machetes.
Brother Dong often fought, so he always had weapons ready in the van, and this time they came to cripple Wang Bin's leg, so they were prepared.
Wang Bin wasn't afraid of sticks, but machetes were a bit of a headache. Although he had advanced his Diamond Palm to the second level, he wasn't invulnerable. A slash could still be deadly.
Seeing the machete in Brother Dong's hand, Wang Bin felt as if he was back in the apocalypse, focusing intently on Brother Dong.
The men thought they could easily deal with Wang Bin with weapons, but they didn't expect Wang Bin to knock them all down in no time, leaving only Brother Dong.
Without anyone else interfering, Wang Bin approached Brother Dong.
Brother Dong, now desperate, swung his machete at Wang Bin.
Wang Bin picked up a steel pipe from the ground and met Brother Dong's machete.
With a clang, Brother Dong's hand went numb, and the machete nearly flew out of his grip.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Bin closed in on Brother Dong and struck with his palm. With a crack, Brother Dong's rib was broken, and he was sent flying far away.
