Chapter 13: Chapter 13 This Old Bastard, actually using me!
Three hours later, the door to the emergency room opened, and Wu Bin was wheeled out.
Xu Wenyao and Yang Kang rushed over immediately.
"How is he, Director Li?" Xu Wenyao was very anxious.
Li Guotai said with a smile:
"The surgery was very successful. The toxins in Comrade Wu Bin's body have been completely removed. Now he just needs to rest for a while."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they looked at Wu Bin with a strange expression on their faces.
That was the highly poisonous Shang Lu, and this kid drank it without dying?
Illogical, highly illogical!
The viewers in the live streaming room were also shocked.
"Oh my, I thought this dude was done for, but turns out he's fine?"
"Brother, he was in emergency care for a whole three hours, and you call that fine?"
"This guy is also a talent, ending up in the hospital every other day, and it's always for something serious. I really don't know what bad karma he had in his past life."
"Yama's Palace: The opponent withdrew a college student."
"This lad may be fragile, but his ancestors must have strong connections in the underworld, probably pleaded with all the Ten Yama Kings."
"Ancestor: This is the only college student passed down for eighteen generations in my family!"
"Instructor: Eat it up, you lucky dad, who else could have your luck?"
Looking at the comments in the live streaming room, He Bingbing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although Wu Bin's poisoning was an unfortunate accident, why did she feel like laughing?
Fortunately, He Bingbing didn't forget her duty.
After Wu Bin was moved into the ward, He Bingbing approached him for an interview right away.
"Wu Bin, how are you feeling now?"
Wu Bin smiled at the camera.
"I feel very good, I slept really well."
???
Everyone looked dumfounded at Wu Bin.
You don't know you just took a walk at death's door, thinking it was just sleeping?
He Bingbing reminded him:
"Wu Bin, the thing you dug up in the bushes wasn't ginseng, it was Shang Lu, highly poisonous."
Wu Bin uttered an "Oh" without realizing the severity of the situation.
"Oh, it's not ginseng? But that stuff was pretty good for sleep, I haven't slept that well in a long time."
He Bingbing was speechless once more.
How was she supposed to conduct the interview?
This guy wasn't playing by the rules!
Originally, He Bingbing wanted to guide Wu Bin to realize the seriousness of the situation and then elicit some words of regret from him.
Then she would educate the viewers properly, reminding them not to just eat anything they find.
However, not only did Wu Bin show no signs of regret, but he also praised Shang Lu for its sleep-inducing qualities!
"Miss Bingbing, what's wrong, do you have a stomachache?"
He Bingbing waved her hand.
"No, I was just thinking about some unhappy things."
"Wu Bin, you should rest well, the doctor said you need to recuperate."
"Alright."
Wu Bin was amiable and lay back in bed, closing his eyes, looking like he was asleep.
But in reality, Wu Bin's emotions were surging.
Because he had never expected the mission to be poisoned to be completed so easily?
He was prepared to endure excruciating pain.
But he just felt a bit sleepy at the time, lay down, and the moment he opened his eyes, the mission was complete?
No wonder the emperors in ancient times called poisoning a "gift of death."
This kind of sudden departure was indeed a lot less painful than other methods.
"Wu Bin, are you resting? Would you like to eat something, I can order you some delivery."
Wu Bin opened his eyes and realized that Xu Wenyao and Yang Kang had already appeared by his bedside.
The steel-strongman Yang Kang had swollen eyes from crying, and his entire demeanor had become haggard.
Normally spirited and vivacious, Xu Wenyao now had streaks of white in his hair, looking somewhat aged.
Wu Bin felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Principal, this time I've... again…"
Xu Wenyao waved his hand to cut Wu Bin off.
"Wu Bin, what are you talking about? You haven't wronged us; on the contrary, we have wronged you!"
Wu Bin was baffled.
"What?"
Xu Wenyao gestured, and Yang Kang promptly handed over a thick envelope and a certificate of recognition.
In front of the camera, Xu Wenyao gave the envelope and the certificate to Wu Bin.
"Wu Bin, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known about such a significant oversight in the school's management!"
"Planting and growing herbs in the bushes is something the school repeatedly forbids, yet many students take it lightly and ignore the rule."
"But after your poisoning, I immediately mobilized all teachers and staff to urgently conduct safety education for all students."
"Wu Bin, the publicity has been significant!"
Wu Bin: ...
Alright, alright, so this is how we're playing it.
So, I get poisoned by Shang Lu once, and the school turns me into an example of what not to do?
Wu Bin looked down at the certificate, which bore eight bold characters:
Fearless in the face of danger, tested poison with his body!
Even someone as thick-skinned as Wu Bin felt his face getting hot.
How embarrassing!
I was accidentally poisoned because I was careless, but Xu Wenyao's publicity turned it into a contribution to the school.
Look how this has blown up.
"Principal, I'm undeserving of this award..."
"Undeserving? What's there to be undeserving about?"
Xu Wenyao said with righteous severity:
"If it weren't for you setting an example to warn the other students, who knows when we could've gotten rid of this bad influence in our school!"
"Wu Bin, you don't need to worry about anything during this time. Just rest up in the hospital, and the school will cover all expenses!"
That's substantial.
With those words from Xu Wenyao, Wu Bin was reassured.
It seems he would be saving on the medical bills again.
Just as Wu Bin thought Xu Wenyao had finished giving him the award and would leave, to everyone's surprise, Xu Wenyao suddenly had tears welling up in his eyes and began crying.
This unexpected turn of events left everyone dumbfounded.
What was Xu Wenyao up to now?
He tightly grasped Wu Bin's hand and said earnestly to the camera:
"You might not know this, but Wu Bin is an orphan who worked tirelessly and managed to fight his way out of the welfare institute."
"I didn't know about this until the people from the archives told me this morning."
"Wu Bin, rest assured, from now on, the Agricultural University is your home, and I am your elder!"
Wu Bin fell silent.
This guy, he has even less shame than I imagined!
It hasn't even been a full day since I've been in the hospital, and Xu Wenyao is already using me for publicity.
Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!
No, I must gain some advantage for myself; I can't let him exploit me for nothing!
Wu Bin pondered his next move, but to He Bingbing and the others, he appeared to be in low spirits and lost in sorrow.
He Bingbing's nose turned sour, and she started sobbing with her mouth covered.
Such a pitiable child!
Not only frail and sick, but also an orphan!
And the live chat in the streaming room exploded instantly!
