Protagonist:

Lin Hao

Lin Hao clutched his injured arm, breathing heavily, looking at the small-time thugs lying all over the ground around him; his heart held both the satisfaction of having taught them a lesson and worry over the trouble that might follow.

At this moment, Zhou Bingkun, Lin Kun, and Cai Xiaoguang had also rushed to his side.

Zhou Bingkun looked at Lin Hao's injured arm and asked anxiously, "Lin Hao, how's your arm? Does it hurt? These guys are too ruthless; thank goodness for you, otherwise who knows what would've happened!"

Lin Kun also crowded forward, his face full of concern, and said, "Haozi, you'd better get that arm looked at right away, don't let it have damaged the bone."

Cai Xiaoguang, while keeping a wary eye on the thugs on the ground, said to Lin Hao, "Lin Hao, Zhou Rong has already gone to call the police; when the police arrive, just explain things clearly and it'll be fine, don't worry."

Lin Hao gave a slight nod and said, "Mm, I'm fine, just took a hit on the arm, shouldn't have hurt the bone."

The few of them were just talking when suddenly one of the thugs on the ground struggled to raise his head, his eyes instantly widening as he looked at Zhou Bingkun and said in surprise, "Zhou Bingkun?"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Bingkun subconsciously turned his head to look; after making out the man's appearance, he couldn't help blurting out, "Tu Zhiqiang?"

Hearing the two of them exchange words like this, Lin Hao on the side also suddenly came back to his senses and instantly remembered. The three leaders just now — weren't they precisely Shui Ziliu, Tu Zhiqiang, and Luo Shibin from the original drama?

This Luo Shibin, in Lin Hao's impression, was definitely not a good thing.

It could be said that in the original drama, he bore no small responsibility for Zhou Bingkun's tragic life.

That donkey-faced guy who was kicked unconscious by me just now — wasn't he precisely Luo Shibin?

Seeing he'd run into an acquaintance, Tu Zhiqiang suggested to Zhou Bingkun that they let this matter drop.

On Zhou Bingkun's side, thinking that since he'd run into Tu Zhiqiang and they had a bit of history, he pondered whether they could resolve this peacefully, saving everyone the trouble of going to the police station.

So he turned his head to look at Lin Hao and asked, "Lin Hao, what do you think about this — how about we just let it go? Everyone takes a step back, what do you say?"

Lin Hao in his heart actually didn't want to let it go at all — after all, these people had first groped Zheng Juan and Ding Xiu at the ice rink, and now they'd come back with weapons seeking revenge; it was really too much. But since Zhou Bingkun had already opened his mouth to ask his opinion, he couldn't just directly refuse Zhou Bingkun face.

Lin Hao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, since you've put it that way, Bingkun, they just need to pay my medical expenses; my arm was injured by them just now, there has to be some compensation whatever the case."

Tu Zhiqiang, hearing this, hurriedly nodded repeatedly and said, "Deal, Brother Lin Hao, that's only right, only right."

As he spoke, he started feeling around on himself for money. But after fumbling for a long time, turning out every pocket on his body, he still hadn't scraped together even one yuan.

Tu Zhiqiang lifted his head somewhat embarrassedly and shouted to the other thugs around, "Brothers, everyone chip in a bit, get Brother Lin Hao's medical fees pooled together."

Those thugs had just personally witnessed Lin Hao's formidable skill; now hearing they had to pool money, each and every one hurriedly started fishing out cash, afraid that being a step slow would make Lin Hao unhappy again.

Right at this moment, that Luo Shibin who had been kicked unconscious by Lin Hao slowly woke up.

He had just opened his eyes, and in a daze heard talk of paying medical fees; he instantly jumped up, his face full of indignation as he yelled, "What? Pay medical fees? On what grounds? He hit us first, we haven't even settled accounts with him yet, hmph!"

As he yelled, he still waved his arms about; that arrogant, domineering look of his had returned, without the slightest awareness of how miserably he'd just been beaten by Lin Hao.

Seeing Luo Shibin like this, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help furrowing his brows and said, "You'd better not stir up trouble here; if Brother Lin Hao hadn't shown mercy just now, would you lot be able to stand here talking so easily?"

Luo Shibin, however, still stiffened his neck and refused to yield, saying, "I don't care, I'm just not convinced; why should we pay medical fees? No way!"

Seeing Luo Shibin stiff-necked and making unreasonable trouble there, unwilling to pay the medical fees and be done with it, Cai Xiaoguang instantly flared up; he stepped forward, his expression cold and stern, and said, "Since you're unwilling to settle it like this, then let's go to the Public Security Bureau and handle it; let's see what good end you little thugs who stir up trouble all day can have. Hmph, don't think everyone's afraid of you; today I'll make you know — this matter isn't so easily glossed over."

Now Cai Xiaoguang's confidence was ample; his father had been reinstated, and in this city he counted as a person of some standing.

Upon hearing they'd go to the Public Security Bureau, Luo Shibin's arrogant energy instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

He knew perfectly well in his heart that the things he usually did — if he entered the Public Security Bureau there'd be no good fruit to eat.

Although in his heart he was still ten thousand kinds of unwilling to pay this medical fee, at this moment he didn't dare make a sound of opposition anymore; he just stood there, still hatefully glaring at Lin Hao, his gaze as if wanting to swallow Lin Hao alive.

The other thugs, seeing Luo Shibin didn't even dare make a peep, also shrank their necks one by one, not daring to say anything more.

Those who just now were thinking of playing rogue and not paying up now also honestly fished out all the remaining money on them, preparing to pool together Lin Hao's medical fees.

Seeing this, Tu Zhiqiang hurriedly put on a smiling face for Lin Hao and said, "Brother Lin Hao, a great man doesn't hold a grudge against a small man; you see we've pretty much pooled the medical fees, so please be magnanimous and don't bother with the likes of us, alright?"

Lin Hao looked at the scattered bits of money they'd pooled together in their hands, coldly snorted in his heart, thinking that letting them off just like this really was letting them off easy.

But since Zhou Bingkun had previously also wanted to smooth things over, he couldn't pursue it further either, and so said, "Fine, this time I'll temporarily let you off; behave yourselves from now on, don't let me catch you bullying people outside again, or it won't be this easy to talk."

The thugs, hearing this, felt as if granted amnesty, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes yes yes, Brother Lin Hao rest assured, we never dare again."

Just then, the sound of police sirens came from afar; a group of thugs scrambled up and ran off; Tu Zhiqiang greeted Zhou Bingkun and then ran off with them.
