Chapter 84: Crisis of Deng Yun
Zhao Qirou also saw Zhao Dong at this moment and immediately waved with a smile. "Bro, over here!"
Zhao Dong smiled and strode over.
Zhao Qirou quickly made room for him, hooking her arm through his as he sat down. She grinned at the two girls opposite them. "This is my brother, Zhao Dong! See, I didn't lie to you, right? My brother is handsome, isn't he?"
One of the girls opposite was dressed in a cute JK uniform, and the other wore a sexy, strapless black bodycon dress. At this moment, both girls turned to look at Zhao Dong, surprise evident in their gazes.
The girl in the JK uniform smiled faintly and extended her small hand. "Brother Zhao Dong, hello. I'm Qirou's good friend. My name is Qian Keke."
Zhao Dong smiled and shook her hand. "Hello. Qirou has told me you're her good friend."
Their hands met briefly and then separated. A blush spread across Qian Keke's pretty, innocent face.
The girl in the black stockings and bodycon dress also confidently extended her hand to Zhao Dong with a smile. "Brother Zhao Dong, hello. My name is Deng Yun, and I'm also one of Qirou's good friends. Qirou is always talking about you. Your reputation is truly well-deserved."
Zhao Dong laughed. "What 'well-deserved' reputation?"
Glancing at Zhao Qirou, Deng Yun replied with a grin, "Qirou always says you're a total stud. Seeing you today, it's definitely true~"
Deng Yun wasn't lying. Zhao Dong stood six feet tall with a strong physique. His years in the military had given him a sharp, commanding aura—a quality that women found particularly appealing. Of course, it also helped that Zhao Dong was handsome.
Listening to Deng Yun, Zhao Qirou suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "Deng Yun, my brother is much more handsome than that boyfriend of yours, right?"
Biting her lip, Deng Yun replied shyly, "Why are you suddenly bringing that up?"
"I told you before that my brother is a handsome guy," Zhao Qirou said. "I could have introduced you to him. There was no need to get with that Xiong fellow. Alas, a missed opportunity."
Zhao Qirou sighed with feigned regret, and Deng Yun could only offer an awkward smile in response. At their side, Zhao Dong also felt rather embarrassed. The atmosphere had suddenly become a bit awkward.
Fortunately, the bar was bustling with people, and the thunderous music assaulted everyone's eardrums. After Zhao Dong and the others had a few drinks, the mood gradually warmed up.
From their conversation, Zhao Dong learned that both Deng Yun and Qian Keke came from wealthy business families and had very good backgrounds. However, neither of the girls had the temperament of an entitled heiress; they didn't have a trace of arrogance. This improved Zhao Dong's impression of them considerably.
The group chatted cheerfully. Since Zhao Dong hadn't spent much time with Zhao Qirou since his return, he let loose and drank heartily with them.
This scene naturally made many men in the bar see red. They looked at Zhao Dong, gritting their teeth in jealousy. Each of these three girls was a top-tier beauty on her own, yet they were all drinking with Zhao Dong alone, filling the onlookers with envy and jealousy.
Zhao Dong noticed the stares from those around him but chose to ignore them completely.
After a while, a slightly wobbly Deng Yun stood up. "I... I can't drink anymore. I need to go to the restroom."
Deng Yun had indeed had quite a bit to drink. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes seemed a bit unfocused. Zhao Qirou asked with concern, "Are you okay, Yunyun? Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need, I can manage on my own. You guys have fun."
With that, Deng Yun walked towards the restroom by herself. The scene was noticed by a group of men sitting at a nearby booth.
In the middle of the group was a man with dyed white hair, decked out in luxury brands, with an arrogant expression on his face. His name was Pan Wu, son of Pan Longxiao, a local heavyweight in East Sea.
Pan Wu himself was a student at East Sea University, where he was known as the infamous Young Master Pan. He had recognized Deng Yun and her friends as East Sea University students at a glance, as such well-known beauties were familiar to almost everyone at the university.
He had been watching Zhao Dong's table earlier and was green with envy at the sight of three top-tier beauties drinking with just one man. He hadn't intended to cause trouble in the bar, but after a few drinks, Pan Wu was getting carried away. Now, seeing Deng Yun walking alone towards the restroom, a malicious idea began to burn inside him.
One of his cronies noticed the white-haired man staring at Deng Yun's retreating figure and said with a wicked smile, "Young Master Pan, have you taken a fancy to that little vixen?"
Pan Wu stared at Deng Yun's back and swallowed hard. "That slender waist, that ass... I really want to have some fun with her tonight!"
The crony hesitated for a moment. "Young Master Pan, I think that girl's name is Deng Yun. She's also from our university. Her family seems to be in business and has some influence."
Hearing this, Pan Wu said coldly, "Compared to my Pan Family, her Deng family ain't shit! Forget it, I can't hold back any longer. I'm taking her with me tonight!"
With that, Pan Wu shot to his feet and staggered after Deng Yun towards the restroom.
Deng Yun hadn't noticed someone was following her. She entered the restroom, her stomach feeling uncomfortably bloated. Just as she was about to use a stall, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned her head and jumped in shock.
The person who had come in was Pan Wu! This is the women's restroom. How could a man be in here?
Deng Yun immediately shouted, "Hey! This is the women's restroom! Get out now!"
Pan Wu's face bore a lecherous smile. His eyes roamed over Deng Yun's body as he slurred, "You're Deng Yun, right?"
Deng Yun was taken aback. "Yes. Who are you?"
"I'm also from East Sea University. You don't recognize me?" Pan Wu let out a drunken burp, his gaze slimy. "My surname is Pan. Everyone at school calls me Young Master Pan. Now you know who I am, right?"
Deng Yun's brow tightened in displeasure. "Are you insane? I don't know any 'Young Master Pan,' and I don't care. Get out now, or I'm calling security!"
As Deng Yun turned to leave the restroom for help, Pan Wu's face darkened. Overcome by a rush of blood to the head, he lunged at her.
Deng Yun screamed in terror and quickly dodged, sending Pan Wu stumbling to the floor face-first. Humiliated and enraged, he staggered to his feet, his eyes bloodshot as he glared fiercely at her. "You little bitch, trying to run, are you? Let's see you try to hide now! I'm going to rape you right here in the restroom!"
Pan Wu's face was dark as he advanced on her step by step. Deng Yun backed away until her back hit the wall. "You... you stay away!" she cried in terror. "If you come any closer, I'm calling the police!"
Just as Deng Yun pulled out her phone, Pan Wu slapped it out of her hand, grabbed her hair, and struck her hard across the face. "You bitch, calling the police? I dare you! Go on, call them!"
The blow was so hard that Deng Yun saw stars, and a glaring red handprint appeared on her cheek. She had already drunk quite a bit, and the combination of the alcohol and the slap left her body weak and drained of strength.
Pan Wu sneered coldly, shoved Deng Yun into a stall, and locked the door. His eyes filled with naked desire as they scanned her captivating curves, and he swallowed hard. "You little slut, I'm going to have you tonight. To be honest, I've had my eye on you for a long time."
As he spoke, Pan Wu began to unbuckle his pants.
At that moment, Deng Yun's mind was in a fog. She drifted between semi-consciousness and confusion, barely aware of what was happening.
Meanwhile, back at the booth, Zhao Dong glanced at his phone and frowned. He turned to Zhao Qirou. "Qirou, maybe you should go check on Deng Yun. She's been gone for over ten minutes."
Zhao Qirou also felt something was wrong and nodded. "Okay, I'll go have a look."
The moment Zhao Qirou reached the restroom, she sensed something was terribly wrong. She could hear Deng Yun's muffled sobs coming from inside a stall.
Her heart sank. She immediately ran over and rammed the stall door open with her body.
Confronted with the scene inside, Zhao Qirou's body trembled violently, and she froze on the spot.
