75: Qin Yang's purpose
After Wu Bin finished the call, he looked like a deflated balloon, completely stripped of his previous toughness.
After a long silence, Wu Bin said, "I'm beat. This time, I'm truly convinced. Just tell me what you want. I assume you didn't look for me just to step on me. With your strength, to be honest, going to such lengths for me is like using an anti-aircraft gun to swat a mosquito."
"At least you have some brains. Actually, my goal in dealing with you is quite simple. First, the little brats under you blocked me today, which made me very unhappy. Second, my sister attends No. 1 Middle School, and I don't want to see any more little thugs near there from now on. From now on, No. 1 Middle School is a forbidden zone for these little local punks. If any little thug dares to interfere in school matters, I'll come looking for you."
"Third, I know you have quite a reputation, and these little thugs and hooligans all idolize you. What I want you to do is keep this group in check. From now on, the person behind you will be by your side to supervise you. Once you stop taking my words seriously, heh, you'll find out what the consequences are then," Qin Yang replied.
"Ah? It's that simple?" Wu Bin was a bit dazed by Qin Yang's words. He had thought Qin Yang wanted him for some major task; he never expected it was just to keep hooligans in check. Wu Bin wailed inwardly, 'Big brother, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had just shown your background, I would have complied anyway!'
Qin Yang looked at Wu Bin's stunned expression and understood his thoughts. The reason Qin Yang had gone to such lengths to suppress Wu Bin today was to make him take his words seriously. Don't think the three conditions Qin Yang proposed were simple. First, there are many little hooligans in Mo County. While the Death Warriors under Qin Yang could suppress them all, it would be too troublesome. It was much easier to use Wu Bin's reputation. Second, Qin Yang also wanted to heal his own youth to some extent.
Qin Yang was well-aware of the dirty business in schools. The reason there is so much school bullying now is mostly due to the involvement of outsiders. These outsiders back up certain students, making them believe they have a patron, which leads them to act arrogantly and cause trouble on campus. Back then, this was exactly the situation Qin Yang faced in school. There was someone in his class who relied on some 'Big Brother' outside to bully classmates. The victims, fearing the outside boss, didn't dare to fight back. Seeing that no one dared to cross them, the bullies became increasingly unscrupulous.
Qin Yang wanted to fix this phenomenon. Once the campus overlords lost their outside support, he wanted to see if they could still be so arrogant.
"Heh, simple? Wait until you can do it well before calling it simple!" Qin Yang chuckled.
"Liu Er, you will be responsible for supervising him from now on. Report the progress of his work to me at any time," Qin Yang then said to the Death Warrior behind Wu Bin.
"Understood, Boss," Liu Er replied.
Then Qin Yang waved his hand, and everyone finally departed.
Only after Qin Yang left did the tense atmosphere in the private room gradually dissipate.
"What kind of mess is this!" Wu Bin said with a bitter smile.
"Brother, since you've admitted defeat, just do as he says. I can see that young man is no ordinary person. This ordeal today might not necessarily be a bad thing," the steady middle-aged man from before spoke up.
"I know, old brother. Well, I won't keep you company then. I'll head back first and think about how to handle this!" Wu Bin nodded and replied.
"Alright, let's call it a day. Also, you all saw it—that guy has a huge background. He's not someone you can mess with. Keep your mouths shut, lest you end up digging your own graves," the middle-aged man added, warning the others.
The others nodded repeatedly.
Wu Bin then changed his clothes and left the bath center. Once outside, the two lackeys behind Wu Bin lowered their heads and said, "Sorry, Brother Bin, we failed to protect you."
"It's fine, it's not your fault. With a knife at your throat, it's normal not to dare to resist," Wu Bin replied with a wave of his hand.
Then Wu Bin said to the Death Warrior following him, Liu Er, "Is your surname Liu, brother?"
"Mhm," Liu Er nodded.
"Then in your opinion, brother, what should I do?"
"Figure that out yourself. My purpose in following you is to see how you do things and the results afterward, then report to my boss. I don't care about anything else," Liu Er replied coldly.
Wu Bin met with a rebuff and said no more.
He immediately instructed the two lackeys beside him, "Go notify the subordinates. In one hour, I'll be at the company waiting for them for a meeting."
"Understood, Brother Bin," the two lackeys replied immediately and took out their phones to start contacting people.
An hour later, at Xingshun Loan Company, Wu Bin sat boldly in the boss's chair in the conference room. By now, no fewer than fifty or sixty young men had gathered in the room. However, because Wu Bin hadn't spoken, these young men didn't dare to open their mouths either. Each one sat in their chair like a well-behaved child, not daring to make any noise.
After a while, Wu Bin checked the time, felt it was about right, tapped the table, and asked the lackey beside him, "Is this everyone?"
"Yes, Brother Bin. Every young man in the county with a bit of a reputation on the streets is here," the lackey replied.
Wu Bin nodded, then looked down at the crowd. "My name is Wu Bin. I believe everyone sitting here should know me. Furthermore, many of you are also running with me. Today, I've called everyone here because I have something I want to discuss."
"Brother Bin, we are all people who admire you, otherwise we wouldn't have come today. If you have something, just give the order. What's this about 'discussing'? Isn't that slapping our faces! Right, everyone?" As soon as Wu Bin finished speaking, someone below chimed in.
"That's right, Brother Bin! If there's something, just say the word. As long as we can do it, we won't hesitate!"
"Exactly, Brother Bin, just give us your orders."
With the first person playing the hype man, the rest, whether they wanted to or not, all said nice things. Of course, that hype man was actually one of Wu Bin's lackeys.
Seeing this, Wu Bin was very satisfied with his plan. He then said, "Good, good. Since everyone is giving me, Wu Bin, this face, then I'll be blunt. The matter I want to discuss with you is very simple. We are all adults now, and I feel that continuing to recruit kids to do things is a very bad look. Therefore, I hope everyone can stay away from campuses from now on. Don't go sticking your necks out for kids in schools to fight. This is actually for your own good. The state's protection of campuses is getting stricter and stricter. If you get involved in conflicts between students, trouble is bound to happen sooner or later. It's better to quit now."
"Brother Bin, you're talking in circles, and I don't quite understand. Can I interpret it as you mean we're not allowed to recruit little brothers in schools anymore?" After hearing Wu Bin's words, someone asked.
"Exactly, that's what I mean. Not only can you not recruit little brothers in schools, but you people should also stay far away from schools in the future. Especially No. 1 Middle School—you absolutely cannot get involved in student disputes. Do you understand this time?" Wu Bin explained again.
"This... Brother Bin, you know, some of us don't have a source of income. The little brats in schools are easier to fool, and those students are one of our sources of money. By making us do this, aren't you cutting off our livelihood?" Upon hearing the explanation, someone immediately retorted.
"Oh, cutting off your livelihood? What's your name? Where do you hang out?" Wu Bin asked with a calm face.
"My name is Zheng Bao, I hang around the Vocational High School..."
Bang!
Before Zheng Bao could finish his sentence, an ashtray smashed directly onto his head. Blood immediately gushed from Zheng Bao's head, and he collapsed to the floor in pain, screaming wildly.
This sudden scene gave everyone a fright.
The ashtray was indeed thrown by Wu Bin. He then said, "Do you really think I'm 'discussing' this with you? Saying I'm discussing it is giving you face! Don't let me see you in Mo County again, or I'll definitely send you to prison. Alright, now who else objects?"
The crowd had already been intimidated by Wu Bin. Coupled with his brutal method of 'killing the chicken to warn the monkeys,' who would dare say another word of dissent? They all nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
With that, Wu Bin finally gave a satisfied nod.
