Chapter 70: A Big Gift for Chen Junrong
Lin Bei picked up his glass, took a sip of the beer he hadn't finished, and put the glass on the table.
"Enjoy your meal, everyone. Please don't invite me to gatherings like this one in the future."
"I wouldn't come even if you invited me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the stairwell.
"Me too." Su Qianqian stood up from her chair, picked up her small handbag, and followed Lin Bei away.
"Me too!" Song Qingning slammed her chopsticks on the table, stood up, and followed.
Reaching the top of the stairs, she turned back and rolled her eyes at Chen Junrong.
"snort!"
Old Gao was the last to leave.
He walked up to Chen Junrong and sneered, "He brought it on himself."
Then, I jogged to catch up with the three people in front of me.
Chen Junrong sat alone in a chair, his hair dripping wet, his shirt completely soaked.
The younger brother next to him tried to help him wipe the wine stains off his body, but he pushed him away.
His hand was trembling as he gripped the napkin, crumpling it into a wet, sticky mess in his palm.
hateful!
That's outrageous!
Shouldn't Lin Bei have been humiliated and become the butt of everyone's jokes just now?
This is not what I expected!
What is going wrong?
Chen Junrong was furious and wanted to stand up and chase after him.
But the wound on my waist started to ache again, so I had to sit back down in the chair.
……
The four of them came out of the restaurant.
Song Qingning walked in front, hopped a couple of steps, turned around and walked backwards, her excitement still lingering on her face.
"That felt so good!"
"Did you guys see what Chen Junrong looked like just now?"
His hair was soaked with alcohol, he looked like a drowned rat, it cracked me up!
She mimicked Chen Junrong's expression from earlier, widening her eyes and opening her mouth.
Then, he laughed so hard he bent over.
Su Qianqian walked beside Lin Bei, turned her head and glanced at him: "How did you know there was something wrong with those two drinks?"
"I saw it by chance just now," Lin Bei said, his hands in his pockets. "When those two boys put their glasses on the table, I smelled the alcohol wafting from the rims."
Lin Bei did not reveal the real reason.
In their past lives, these two people were expelled from university for secretly taking indecent photos of female classmates.
The incident caused quite a stir at the time, and it was even reported in the local news.
The girl who was secretly photographed was the younger sister of his classmate in the next dormitory.
Therefore, Lin Bei remembered it very clearly.
These two have been bad people since high school, and today they suddenly offered drinks to Su Qianqian and Song Qingning.
Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; there's definitely something wrong with it.
Moreover, Su Qianqian and Song Qingning have hardly ever spoken to these two people before, so their sudden toasting today is obviously suspicious.
Song Qingning cracked her knuckles: "I should have made them drink too."
"No, we should force them to drink a bottle."
"Alright, they've all gone far." Lin Bei glanced back at the direction of the restaurant.
Chen Junrong was doused with a whole bottle of baijiu in public today, and given his personality, he will definitely not let it go.
Therefore, we need to find a way to deal with this problem, instead of always waiting for the other party to make the first move.
As it turned out, the opportunity came the very next day.
Lin Bei came out of the driving school and walked along the street toward the bus stop. As soon as he turned into a quiet alley, he saw six people standing at the entrance of the alley.
Chen Junrong stood at the front, followed by five delinquent teenagers.
These people all had dyed hair and earrings; some were shirtless with their T-shirts draped over their shoulders, while others leaned against the wall with cigarettes in their mouths.
Each person had a steel pipe or wooden stick in hand. As soon as they saw Lin Bei enter the alley, they all propped themselves up against the wall and started moving their wrists in unison.
"Lin Bei," Chen Junrong said through gritted teeth.
He wasn't wearing a suit today; he was wearing a dark T-shirt instead, and he didn't use hair gel in his hair.
But the expression on his face was exactly the same as when he was doused with wine yesterday.
"You humiliated me like that in front of the whole class yesterday, you don't think you can just let it go like that, do you?"
"I'm telling you, I will absolutely not let you off today."
Lin Bei stood still, his gaze passing over Chen Junrong's shoulder, and saw the surveillance camera above the alley entrance.
That camera belongs to the bank at the intersection, and its angle is just right to cover an area of about ten meters from the alley entrance.
Lin Bei quickly went through all the possible solutions in his mind.
A head-on confrontation won't work. There are six of them, and I'm only one. Even with Lao Gao's help, we still can't win.
Running away wasn't an option; they had blocked the alleyway entrance.
He called the police and said he was being blocked, but when the police arrived, they just tried to mediate for a bit, which was completely useless.
He deleted all of those proposals.
Then, a new plan was adopted.
"Young Master Chen!" Lin Bei's face suddenly lit up with a smile. He quickly stepped forward, bowed to Chen Junrong, and raised his voice a few decibels.
"I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have embarrassed you in front of the whole class."
"I apologize to you... really, I sincerely apologize."
Chen Junrong was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowing, clearly not expecting Lin Bei to back down so quickly: "You..."
"It's all my fault. Please forgive me, I'm a magnanimous person." Lin Bei took out several hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and presented them to Chen Junrong with both hands.
"Take this money and buy some cigarettes for the brothers. Consider it my way of apologizing to you all."
"Let's put yesterday behind us, okay?"
The delinquents behind Chen Junrong stared wide-eyed at the sight of the money.
Hitting someone is nothing compared to getting money. You get hundreds of dollars for free without lifting a finger. Why not take it?
A young man with dyed red hair leaned a steel pipe against the wall, walked up, snatched the money from Lin Bei's hand, counted it, and waved it at Chen Junrong:
"Young Master Chen, let it go. This guy is pretty sensible. Just tell him to be more careful in the future."
The others echoed this sentiment and put down their sticks.
Red Hair stuffed the money into his pocket and patted Lin Bei on the shoulder: "Be more careful next time."
Then, he told the others to leave.
Chen Junrong stood there looking at Lin Bei, feeling that something was wrong.
Yesterday Lin Bei was so tough, why has he become so cowardly today?
But his henchmen had all left, and he was left alone, unable to do anything. So he pointed at Lin Bei and cursed, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
Then, he turned around and caught up with the delinquent in front of him.
Lin Bei stood there, watching the backs of the six people disappear into the alleyway, his smile vanishing instantly.
Lin Bei's lips curled into a slight smile: "Chen Junrong, the grand gift is ready, get prepared to receive it!"
He immediately took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Hello, is this 110? I need to call the police!"
"Just now in the alley at the intersection of XX Road and XX Street, someone robbed me at gunpoint and stole more than 400 yuan from me."
"There were six people on the other side. The leader was Chen Junrong, a graduate of XX High School. The others were all young people from the community, and they were carrying steel pipes and wooden sticks."
"Yes, they just left. If you dispatch officers now, you should be able to catch them at a nearby intersection."
