NOVEL WEB Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The Irritable Couple
Wu Bin had never encountered a situation like this before.
Are people driving on the roads always this irritable now?
He Bingbing was also scared and subconsciously locked the car door, then took out her phone to call the police.
Seeing Wu Bin staring intently at the middle-aged man, He Bingbing thought he was frightened, so she hastened to comfort him.
"It's okay, I'm already calling the police, we just need to sit in the car and wait," she said.
While He Bingbing was comforting Wu Bin with her words, she was also very nervous herself.
Because the middle-aged man outside the car was becoming increasingly irritable.
He started by pounding on the car window glass, and just by hearing the clanging sound of the window glass, one could tell how much force he was using.
Then he began to yank at the car door and kick the rearview mirror with his foot, acting like a complete maniac.
The photographer had already been filming the middle-aged man.
Through the camera, it was clear that the man had tried to change lanes and cut in, but He Bingbing didn't let him, and he ended up hitting her car.
The netizens in the live stream room instantly erupted.
"Is this guy poisoned or what? He was the one who tried to cut in and broke the rules, how can he have the nerve to curse at people?"
"There are many people like this in the world, it's quite normal, but it's my first time seeing someone as irritable as him."
"This bro got out of the car so angrily, it's making me laugh, haha."
"Is this the real-life version of 'The Pursuit of Happyness'?"
"His rage gauge must be off the charts, if there was a meter for it, it probably would've exceeded its limit."
The photography team inside the car was also stunned.
They had originally thought that the middle-aged man would just smash a couple of times and be done with it, but he became more and more excited, as if he was on a stimulant.
Wu Bin found it amusing.
He hadn't expected to encounter such an incident just after leaving the hospital.
Seeing Wu Bin reaching for the car door, He Bingbing quickly stopped him in alarm.
"Wu Bin, what are you doing?"
Smiling, Wu Bin said, "He seems very agitated, I plan to go down and soothe his emotions."
He Bingbing thought Wu Bin was crazy.
"You know he's agitated, if you go out now, you'll definitely get hit!"
"Listen to me, stay in the car, okay? Let's just wait here for the police," she pleaded.
Of course, Wu Bin was not willing.
He also wanted a new car.
Ignoring He Bingbing's advice, Wu Bin pushed the car door open and stepped out.
The netizens in the live stream room were amazed.
"As expected of my bro Wu, such a real man!"
"He's going out for a face-to-face confrontation? That's too fierce!"
"Still so young, too impulsive. Given the other party's current state, they are bound to fight once he goes down."
"Yeah, with Wu Bin's frail body, he definitely can't win against that guy."
Everyone was worried for Wu Bin, but he himself remained very calm.
Road rage?
It was just that no one had provoked him before, but today, wasn't it time to fix this guy's nasty attitude?
The middle-aged man also didn't expect a young man to come out of the car, looking frail and probably still a student.
The middle-aged man quickly approached Wu Bin, pointed at his nose, and started cursing.
"Do you even know how to drive? If you can't drive, then roll back to your buses, don't bring your disaster on the road!"
"This is my brand new car, and you hit it; it's become an accident vehicle now!"
"Damn it!"
It was also out of fear that the middle-aged man might impulsively hit someone that a woman quickly got out of the car as well.
Unlike the irritable and easily angered middle-aged man, this woman seemed much calmer.
She first walked around the car, then spoke in a tone of reasonable mediation:
"Young people these days really don't care when they drive, do they? How on earth did they even get their driver's licenses? Did they not have to take tests before hitting the road?"
"Forget it, Old Lu, there's no point in talking to this kind of brat. He doesn't know jack."
"Kid, how about this, you pay us forty thousand yuan, and we'll let this slide. We won't make it difficult for you."
As the middle-aged woman spoke, the live chat was instantly flooded with comments.
"This lady really has the nerve to ask for the sky; it's just a scratch on the front, and she wants forty thousand just like that?"
"This couple is cut from the same cloth, clearly the type with no upbringing. The man is fearless and the woman is full of schemes."
"Quickly get Wu Bin back in the car, I'm getting nervous just watching. What's there to talk about with these types of people?"
"It's clear they were the ones breaking the rules, but they still want to settle it in private with Wu Bin. This dame is really nasty."
Wu Bin didn't say a word the whole time, just smiled at the couple.
The couple felt uneasy under Wu Bin's smile but soon became very angry.
What did this kid mean by smiling? Was he mocking them?
The middle-aged man, Lu Guanghao, got angry.
"You little punk, what are you laughing at? Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out if you keep laughing?"
The middle-aged woman, Yan Fang, also lost her patience.
"What's the matter with you, kid? I'm trying to talk to you nicely, and you're laughing at us? What's the meaning of this?"
The couple had parked their car in the middle of the road and were cursing at Wu Bin, pointing at his nose, quickly attracting a crowd of onlookers.
At first, the bystanders were unclear about the situation between the parties.
But someone who understood the situation explained, and they quickly sympathized with Wu Bin.
"You guys are really bullying him too much, aren't you? It's clear that you were the ones making an illegal lane change and cutting in. How can you still have the face to scold him?"
"Exactly, besides, the other party is just a kid; you're being completely unreasonable."
Seeing that everyone around was blaming them, the couple finally couldn't take it anymore.
Yan Fang started to create a scene.
"Do you even know what's going on? Stop trying to play the hero here!"
"Don't think you are right just because there are many of you! If he doesn't pay today, he's not going anywhere!"
Worried that things were getting out of hand, He Bingbing, along with the cameraman, got out of the car as well.
As soon as Yan Fang saw the cameraman carrying such a large camera, she was stunned at first, and then instantly flew into a rage!
"What are you filming me with that crappy machine for? Do you know that you're infringing on my right to my image? Turn it off now!"
He Bingbing explained, "Ma'am, please calm down. We are from Modu TV station. We were actually live broadcasting..."
Yan Fang didn't wait for He Bingbing to finish explaining and reached for the camera again.
"I don't care which TV station you're from. You're infringing on my right to my image by filming me now. Turn it off immediately!"
Just as Yan Fang's hand was about to reach the camera, Wu Bin walked over and blocked her.
"Listen here, I've put up with you for a while now. Being unreasonable, huh?"
"I'm warning you, our cameraman is carrying professional equipment. One camera starts at over a hundred thousand yuan. If you damage it, can you afford it?"
Upon hearing that, Yan Fang hesitated for a moment.
A camera worth over a hundred thousand yuan, she definitely couldn't afford to pay for that.
But soon, her eyes hardened again.
She may not afford the camera, but taking care of a brat would be a piece of cake, right?
With this thought, Yan Fang started swearing up a storm.
"I thought you were mute, but it turns out you can talk, you little bastard."
