Chapter Sixteen: The Volatile Couple

Wu Bin had never encountered such a situation before. Were people really this irritable when driving nowadays?

He Bingbing was also startled. Instinctively, she locked the car doors and pulled out her phone to call the police.

Seeing Wu Bin staring intently at the middle-aged man, He Bingbing thought he was scared and quickly tried to comfort him.

“It’s okay, I’ve already called the police. We just need to stay in the car and wait.”

Though she spoke reassuringly, He Bingbing herself was quite nervous.

The middle-aged man outside the car was growing more and more agitated.

First, he pounded on the car window so hard the glass rattled loudly, revealing the force behind his blows.

Then he started yanking at the car door and kicking the side mirror wildly, like a man possessed by rage.

The cameraman had already focused the lens on the man.

Through the camera, it was clear that the man had tried to cut into the lane, but He Bingbing had refused, causing their cars to collide.

Viewers in the live stream immediately erupted.

“This guy’s got some nerve. He’s the one who cut in illegally, yet he has the audacity to insult others?”

“There are many people like this in the world; it’s normal. But I’ve never met anyone this violent before.”

“This dude got mad as soon as he stepped out of the car. That cracked me up, hahaha.”

“Is this the real-life version of ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’?”

“The tolerance level here is off the charts—if there were a meter, it’d be maxed out.”

The filming crew was dumbfounded.

They had assumed the man would just bang on the window a few times and be done, but he seemed to grow more frenzied, as if on some stimulant.

Wu Bin couldn’t help but chuckle.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such a scene right after leaving the hospital.

When Wu Bin reached to open the car door, He Bingbing panicked and grabbed him to stop him.

“Wu Bin, what are you doing?”

Wu Bin smiled and said, “He looks very agitated. I’m going to go down and try to calm him.”

He Bingbing thought Wu Bin was crazy.

“You know he’s upset, and you still want to get out? You’ll definitely get beaten!”

“Listen to me—stay in the car. Let’s just wait for the police, okay?”

But Wu Bin was unwilling.

He also wanted to get a new car, after all.

Ignoring He Bingbing’s protests, Wu Bin pushed open the door and stepped out.

The viewers in the live stream were amazed.

“As expected of Brother Wu, a real man!”

“He’s going down to confront him head-on? That’s intense!”

“He’s still young and impulsive. The guy’s in such a state, they’re bound to fight once Wu Bin gets out.”

“Yeah, with Wu Bin’s weak body, he definitely can’t outfight this old guy.”

Everyone was worried for Wu Bin, but he remained calm.

Road rage? He just hadn’t encountered it before. Today, he was going to teach this old man a lesson.

The middle-aged man didn’t expect a young man to get out of the car. Judging by his frail appearance, he must still be a student.

The man quickly strode up to Wu Bin and started yelling, pointing his finger at his nose.

“Do you even know how to drive? If you can’t, then get off the road and take the bus! Don’t come out here causing trouble!”

“This was my brand-new car! You guys crashed into it and turned it into a wreck!”

“Damn it!”

Worried that the man might get violent, a woman also stepped out of the car.

Unlike the irritable man, the woman seemed much calmer.

She circled the car and then spoke in a reasoned tone.

“Young people these days really don’t know how to drive. I don’t know how they even get their licenses—do they just skip the tests and hit the road?”

“Forget it, Lao Lu, it’s useless talking to this brat. He doesn’t understand a thing.”

“Alright, young man, here’s the deal: you pay us forty thousand yuan, and we’ll let this go. We won’t make things difficult for you.”

The live stream comments instantly filled with reactions.

“This lady is really asking for too much. It’s just a scratched front, yet she demands forty thousand yuan?”

“This couple is the same—completely shameless. The man is fearless; the woman is all scheming.”

“Just have Wu Bin get back in the car. I’m getting nervous. What’s the point of arguing with these people?”

“They clearly violated the rules, yet they want Wu Bin to settle privately. That woman’s really nasty.”

Wu Bin said nothing the entire time, only smiling at the couple.

His smile unsettled them, but soon they grew angry again.

What did this kid mean? Was he mocking them?

Lu Guanghao, the middle-aged man, was furious.

“Brat, what are you laughing at? Laugh again and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs!”

Yan Fang, the middle-aged woman, lost her patience as well.

“What’s wrong with you? I’m talking to you nicely—what do you mean by smiling at us like that?”

The couple blocked the road, pointing at Wu Bin and shouting, drawing a crowd of onlookers.

At first, the bystanders didn’t understand what was happening.

But once someone explained the situation, they quickly sided with Wu Bin.

“You two are really bullying him. You clearly cut in illegally, yet you have the nerve to insult him?”

“Exactly, and the other party is just a kid. You’re being completely unreasonable.”

Seeing the crowd blame them, the couple finally lost control.

Yan Fang began to throw a tantrum.

“Do you know what’s going on here? Who do you think you are acting like heroes?”

“Don’t think just because you have more people, you’re right. If he doesn’t pay today, he won’t go anywhere!”

Worried the situation would escalate, He Bingbing and the cameraman also got out of the car.

Seeing the cameraman carrying such a large camera, Yan Fang was stunned, then instantly enraged.

“What are you filming me for with that broken machine? Do you know you’re violating my portrait rights? Turn that off immediately!”

He Bingbing tried to explain, “Ma’am, please calm down. We’re from Magic City Television. We’re doing a live broadcast…”

Before she could finish, Yan Fang reached to grab the camera again.

“I don’t care what TV station you’re from. Filming me now is an infringement of my rights. Turn it off!”

Just as Yan Fang’s hand was about to reach the camera, Wu Bin stepped forward and stopped her.

“Auntie, I’ve been patient with you for a long time. You don’t want to be reasonable, huh?”

“Let me warn you, our cameraman carries professional equipment. Each camera costs over a hundred thousand yuan. If you break it, can you afford to pay?”

Hearing this, Yan Fang hesitated.

She really couldn’t afford to pay for a camera worth that much.

But then her eyes sharpened again.

She might not be able to pay for the camera, but dealing with this kid would be easy.

With that thought, Yan Fang cursed loudly.

“I thought you were mute, but you can talk? You little bastard.”
