Chapter 32: Classmate with a Background

  Shegou is a place name and also a real ditch with snakes.

  There is a desolate mountain to the northwest of Jiangnan Agricultural University, which locals call Xiaobei Mangshan. The mountain is filled with graves and has a heavy yin energy, making even locals afraid to venture up alone. Shegou is located in the central region of Xiaobei Mangshan, where Wang Yu once came with university classmates to catch snakes and became familiar with the surrounding environment.

  Ouyang Chun, in order to curry favor with Wang Yu, personally led the team and dispatched an ambulance into the Xiao Bei Mang Mountain. Although the mountain road had been repaired, it was extremely winding, and by the time they reached the Snake Gorge area, night had already fallen, and dusk was approaching.

  Wang Yu got off the bus and dialed Luo Xun's phone number, but still no one answered. He didn't know what had happened, but he couldn't get in touch with anyone and was getting very anxious.

  The mountain valley was overgrown with weeds, more than half a person tall, and the air was heavy with moisture. He shouted several times, but no one responded.

  In the midst of urgency, he activated the feeding system and checked the information of the living beings around him. Apart from the medical staff on the vehicle, there were six or seven humans about a thousand meters ahead. Upon closer inspection of their names, Wang Yu's eyebrows furrowed into a knot, his face displaying a solemn expression.

  In the snake valley, Luo Xun's throat was hoarse from shouting, and his body was wrapped with several colorful snakes. His mobile phone had fallen six or seven meters away, where a cobra was coiled on top of it. Every time someone called him, the cobra would attack, spitting venom at the phone.

  It's not that Luo Xun doesn't answer the phone, but rather he can't be reached.

  On top of the Snake Gorge, there were several burly men puffing on their cigarettes and grinning at Luo Xuan's cries for help and curses.

  "You few scum will regret it, Luo Xun is dead, none of you think about living. Deng Kang, wait for my family's revenge." Luo Xun was bitten by a snake several times on his body, although not a deadly poisonous snake, but his body was numb, and his speech was already unclear.

  He stared at a man in his 40s, wearing a white suit and a floral shirt, with a gold chain as thick as a thumb. The man was Deng Kang, the dog-raising boss who owed him money, and also ran a dog-fighting arena, a figure from the underworld.

  Deng Hsin lit a cigar, threw his head back and laughed loudly, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth: "A few deaths in Linjiang City are nothing, let alone you dying without anyone knowing. Three to five years later, even your bones will be gone, how can your family take revenge on me? You're just an 80s-born who runs a dog farm, dare to play the game of Over-the-Jordan Dragon, come to my turf in Linjiang to collect debts, do you know what the word 'death' is written like?"

  Deng Kang's younger brothers laughed loudly and threw a few stones to tease the venomous snakes beside Luo Xu, provoking the angry hissing of several snakes.

  Luoxu closed his eyes in despair, the only chance to call for help just now, but because of trembling fingers, he couldn't dial, and only pressed the redial button... It wasn't until after connecting that he knew it was Wang Yu, at that time hastily shouting a few sentences, what he shouted, even he himself had forgotten. Now thinking about it, I'm afraid Wang Yu didn't dare to come, after all, it involves life and death, at most can only help him make an emergency call. Emergency call... Hmph... This lifetime will see if they arrive on time.

  "Hey, brothers aren't at home fighting dogs, how come they're playing with snakes on Beimang Mountain?" Wang Yu appeared with a smile, seemingly not noticing Luo Xuan in the ditch, and walked straight to Deng Kang's side.

  Deng Kang and his younger brothers glared at Wang Yu warily, their faces not looking good: "Wang Yu? What are you doing here? Don't stir up trouble for no reason. Don't forget that you're no longer one of the Four Great Kings under Ninth Master."

  "Come and find some cigarettes to smoke." Wang Yu was familiar with it, took out a box of Cuban cigars from Deng Kang's upper pocket, and even took the matches away. He lit one for himself and put the rest of the cigars into his own pocket.

  Deng Kang's eyes twitched a few times, and he suppressed his anger: "You've smoked enough, it's time to roll out, don't delay our Haha Dog Gang's business..."

  "Get out of my sight! You've forgotten who broke that rotten mouth, haven't you?" Wang Yu suddenly kicked Deng Kang down the snake ditch, landing right next to the chicken crown snake.

  Deng Kang and his few younger brothers didn't react at all and didn't believe that Wang Yu dared to provoke the six or seven people on their side.

  "You dare to hit our Kang brother, even if the Ninth Master himself comes today, we'll break your bones." The few members of the Ha Dog Gang hadn't finished speaking when they heard their boss let out a miserable cry, having been bitten by that chicken crown snake.

  The rooster snake felt avenged, let out a few triumphant hisses, twisted its sensually small tail and slipped into the grass thicket, disappearing in an instant.

  "Ah, save me! I've been bitten by a snake... Wang Yu, I'm going to kill you. No one can talk me out of it."

  Six thugs on the shore didn't dare to go down to Snake Gully, but just shouted that they wanted to avenge their boss. They got into a fight with Wang Yu on the shore. Wang Yu wasn't Superman either, although he knew martial arts and had also learned the ancient Five Animals Play, he was also beaten several times, his nose blue and face swollen as he fell down Snake Gully, and in passing, he pulled two others down and kicked another one down.

  The commotion startled several snakes off Luo Xun's body.

  Lu Xun stared straight at Wang Yu, who was desperately fighting for him. Even his thick beard couldn't stop the tears from streaming down: "Good brother, I've made up my mind to be friends with you. From now on, as long as I don't die, I'll ensure that you live a life of wealth and glory."

  Just as the snake disappeared, three thugs rushed down and surrounded Wang Yu.

  This group of young rascals is a bit strange, Wang Yu, who claims to be one of the four great kings under Jiu Ye, was weak today and was beaten by just a few punches and kicks without being able to fight back.

  "Stop hitting me... come and save me first..." Deng Kang's eyes were already seeing hallucinations, feeling like he was going to die soon, letting out a terrified scream.

  A few hoodlums took out their anger on Wang Yu, and quickly lifted Deng Kang up. Wang Yu had just been half-dead a moment ago, but now he somehow had the strength to drag Deng Kang out of Snake Gully, and even found his phone for him.

  As soon as Deng Kang saw his mobile phone, he suddenly regained his energy and weakly said: "First find... an ambulance... then help me make a call, my dad's phone..."

  Wang Yu glanced at Luo Xun's eyelids, then felt the pulse on the back of his neck and found that there was no immediate danger to his life. He nodded, found his father's phone number on his mobile phone, and dialed it. The other party answered quickly.

  "I'm Luobangyu, what's up?" The voice on the phone was stern and formal, but seemed to recall something, hesitated for two seconds, and softened slightly, "Oh, it's Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

  Wang Yu had already sensed the implication behind his words, that if nothing was wrong, Luo Xuan wouldn't have called him.

  "Dad, I...I almost got murdered, bitten by many poisonous snakes and was waiting for an ambulance at the scene..."

  "Where is it? Don't worry, I'll get someone over there. Don't hang up the phone, Dad will talk to you."

  Linjiang City Snake Gorge...

  Wang Yu had already dialed Ou Yang Chun's phone number, a group of medical staff rushed over in a hurry.

  Deng Kang was carried onto a Honda SUV by a group of younger brothers, when suddenly a group of medical staff came running over. At once they looked like angels, shouting loudly: "Doctors! Nurses! We're over here... You've arrived so quickly today, not even taking one minute... Hey, where are you going? The injured person is in the car!"

  Ouyang Chun disdainfully glared at them, thinking to herself: I'm out here with Wang the Divine Doctor to rescue a friend; even if I were an angel, you people wouldn't be within my scope of salvation.

  Luo Xun was still holding back tears and talking to his father when the medical staff arrived. Wang Yu hastily shouted: "Over here, hurry up, anti-venom serum is ready, no need for a stretcher, we'll wait for the police to arrive at the scene."

  Over the phone, Luobang Yu heard a noisy sound and asked in confusion: "Xiaoxiao, are there friends on your side?"

  "It was my university classmate Wang Yu... also a good brother... if he hadn't risked his life to save me, I would have been killed by the local hooligans."

  At this time, two thugs jumped off a Toyota and rushed over with a menacing air: "Robbery... hand over all the anti-venom medicine!"

  Ouyang Chun and the medical staff saw that the thugs had knives in their hands and were instantly terrified, looking at Wang Yu together.

  "Wang Yu said immediately: 'Give them an anti-snake venom serum, the toxicity of the chicken crown snake is very strong, I'm afraid he won't make it to the hospital.'"

  The nurse quickly found a corresponding medication from the medical box and handed over a set along with an injection device.

  Those two little rascals were stunned, and after receiving the medicine, they still refused to leave: "We won't use it!"

  Damn it, this thug is so uncivilized, life is really scary. The little nurse didn't dare to go over, under Wang Yu's indication, Ouyang Chun steeled herself and went over to help Deng Kang with his treatment.

  Just then, a police siren wailed and several military off-road vehicles rushed down the mountain road to the scene of the accident.

  "Don't move, put up your hands!" Uniformed armed police, with real guns and live ammunition, surrounded the scene.

  From Luo Xun's phone call to the appearance of armed police, it didn't take ten minutes in total.

  The police arrived, and Luo Xun's phone also hung up.

  Deng Kang's Ha Dog Gang members had never seen such a formation before, and were so frightened that their faces turned pale, completely giving up any resistance.

  A middle-aged senior police officer rushed down from a police car on the highway, followed by a group of police officers, wiping the sweat from his face as he ran.

  "Who is Luo Xuan? I've made you suffer, I'm Song Chengbing, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Here, I make a promise to you: we will not let off any criminal." The director, with his beer belly sticking out, squatted on the ground and grasped Luo Xuan's hand, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face.

  Today, Director Song is leading a team to the development zone to handle a violent demolition incident. As they were passing by Xiaobei Mangshan, he received a call from the Provincial Public Security Department's director himself, saying that the leader's son had an accident in Linjiang and asked him to rush to the scene as quickly as possible.

  Deng Kang was injected with antivenom and regained consciousness, his hands were handcuffed by the police, he roared furiously: "Wang Yu, I'm not done with you yet, every time I meet you something goes wrong, I'll kill you!"

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Yu, and Wang Yu said with a hint of fear: "Police comrades, that is an extremely dangerous black gangster. You must severely punish him! If he comes out, he will definitely not let me and Luo Xiang go."

  Song Chengbing only then noticed Wang Yu, and upon closer inspection, his eyes twitched involuntarily. Deputy Mayor Mi Lan had just asked him for Wang Yu's information, and he recognized Wang Yu. This guy had been involved with underground gangs for several years and was allegedly connected to multiple homicide cases, but someone took the fall for him, and Ninth Master fought hard to protect him, so the police couldn't do anything about it for now, leaving a half-foot thick file in the bureau's archives.

  Such a scoundrel actually has the nerve to say that he wants to severely punish the black sheep with an innocent face, has the sun risen from the west?
