Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Zhou Keyu's body flew out like a kite with a snapped string, smashing heavily onto the floor.

Zhao Dong wasn't finished. He closed the distance in two steps, grabbed Zhou Keyu by the neck, and lifted him up as if he were a chick. Then, with a series of heavy blows, he began slapping Zhou Keyu's face, left and right.

Initially, Zhou Keyu hurled insults, but his words quickly devolved into pathetic howls, pleas for mercy, and unconscious screams of pain. Soon, his face swelled up beyond recognition. Blood streamed from his mouth, his eardrums were ruptured, and his eyes were swollen shut. His nose was broken and gushing blood. With seven or eight teeth knocked out, his face was a lopsided, bloody mess that resembled a pig's head.

Zhao Dong sneered, devoid of sympathy. He knew that if he hadn't been strong enough, this would have been his own fate.

Soon, Zhou Keyu's eyes rolled back into his head and his breathing grew faint. His entire body trembled and shook, on the very edge of unconsciousness.

Zhao Dong released his grip, and Zhou Keyu's limp body fell to the ground. "You like to talk tough, don't you?" Zhao Dong said coolly. "How about some more?"

Zhou Keyu's body jolted. He forced his eyes open in agony, but before he could react, Zhao Dong kicked him squarely in the stomach.

Suddenly, Zhou Keyu felt a strange, uncontrollable sensation as his bowels clenched. The next second, with a wet squelch, a foul stench filled the air. A yellowish-brown substance squeezed out from his crotch.

Someone screamed, "Oh my God, he beat the shit out of Zhou Keyu!"

"Holy crap, that's real! This is the first time I've ever seen someone get the shit beaten out of them!"

"This guy is incredible! Serves Zhou Keyu right. He acted like the school tyrant, and now he finally got what he deserved!"

"Absolutely! I want this big brother to take me on as his disciple. He's too damn awesome!"

A buzz of discussion filled the room. Hearing the comments, Zhou Keyu clung to his last shred of consciousness, realizing with horror that he had soiled himself. The crap had literally been beaten out of him.

PFFT! Zhou Keyu spat out a mouthful of blood. Overwhelmed by a storm of anger, shame, hatred, and fury, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Everything fell silent. Lv Juan's legs gave out from under her, and she collapsed to the floor with a thud, utterly petrified. Zhou Keyu… beaten to a pulp like that?

Nearby, Xu Yuefei stared at the scene in a daze. A look of intense fear crept onto her face, and she decided to flee. For the first time, she wanted to run, but her legs went weak with terror. She stumbled and fell face-first, getting a mouthful of dirt.

Zhao Dong's voice rose slowly, devoid of any emotion and chilling to the bone. "Thinking of leaving? Did I say you could?"

Terrified, Lv Juan burst into tears, her face deathly pale as she stammered, "Don't... don't hit me! I was wrong... I was wrong... I'll apologize to Zhao Qirou. I'll apologize."

"An apology solves everything? If apologies were all it took, what would be the point of laws?" Zhao Dong grabbed Lv Juan by the neck, lifted her up, and began slamming her head against a desk.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Lv Juan's screams echoed through the classroom as her face was quickly battered and bloodied, her skin tearing as she shrieked for mercy. Finally, just as she was about to pass out, Zhao Dong kicked the back of her knee, grabbed her by the neck, and forced her to kneel before Zhao Qirou.

"Trash like you dares to call yourself a teacher? Apologize to my sister!"

Lv Juan wailed, "Zhao Qirou, I was wrong! I'm sorry! I was truly wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

Zhao Qirou's expression was complicated. She averted her gaze, unable to look at Lv Juan.

Zhao Dong kicked Lv Juan aside, his eyes filled with cold disgust. "Disgusting creature. Get lost and don't dirty my hands." Like a dead dog, she collapsed and lay motionless.

Zhao Dong's gaze then shifted to Xu Yuefei. Her expression froze for three seconds. Then, she let out a heart-wrenching scream, tears of terror streaming down her face as she turned to run.

Zhao Dong frowned and said coldly, "Crawl over here, and I might spare you. If you dare to run, I guarantee you won't escape."

Xu Yuefei's body trembled violently. She actually began to crawl toward Zhao Dong, sobbing hysterically as she went. When she reached his feet, she pleaded through her tears, "Please, don't hit my face... I've had plastic surgery, I'm begging you."

"Plastic surgery? It didn't do you much good. You're still ugly, and ugly people love to cause trouble."

Zhao Dong grabbed Xu Yuefei by the hair and slapped her across the face several times. Xu Yuefei screamed as her surgically altered nose collapsed under the blows, her face becoming a horrifying, bloody mask.

"Get lost!" Zhao Dong kicked her away.

The classroom plunged into a dead silence, the very air seeming to freeze. The remaining students stared wordlessly at the scene, completely terrified.

Zhao Dong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent as he scanned the room. "Today, I only hit those who deserved it. Does anyone have a problem with that?"

After a brief silence, applause and cheers unexpectedly erupted. Many of the onlookers had been bullied by Zhou Keyu, Xu Yuefei, and Lv Juan before. As ordinary students, they had no power to resist and could only silently endure the humiliation and injustice. What Zhao Dong did today had given them a profound sense of vicarious revenge. Many looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

Zhao Dong narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to Zhao Qirou. "Qirou, feeling a bit better?"

Zhao Qirou bit her lip. She felt a surge of gratitude and the sweet relief of vindication, but also a deep worry for her brother. "Brother, I feel much better, but you..."

Zhao Dong smiled. "I'm fine."

Just then, a girl in the crowd with a sharp, mean-looking face shrieked at him, "You dare to attack people? You're finished! Someone already went to tell the principal! The school security and the riot squad will be here any minute. You're dead for causing trouble here!"

After her outburst, the girl, who was one of Xu Yuefei's best friends, slipped away.

Hearing this, the other students looked at Zhao Dong with concern. Some tried to persuade him to leave.

"Big brother, you should get out of here! Once the riot squad arrives, you won't be able to leave!"

"Yeah, hurry! Find somewhere to hide! Zhou Keyu's dad is the principal, and he has a lot of connections!"

"That's right, big brother, you have to go!"

Many of the students had spontaneously started calling him "big brother" out of genuine admiration.

Zhao Dong, however, remained calm. "It's fine. I'll just wait for them here."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, the students assumed he was just being stubborn. Sure, you can fight, but can you fight the entire system? They all sighed silently, worried for his fate.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway. A squad of men in riot gear, armed with batons and other specialized weapons, rushed in. The crowd's expressions fell. It was over. Zhao Dong really wasn't getting away today.

A group of armed personnel surrounded the classroom and shouted at the people inside, "All uninvolved persons, get out now! There's a terrorist in here! Immediately!"

The students didn't dare to linger and quickly filed out. In the end, only Zhao Dong and Zhao Qirou remained. Even the beaten forms of Lv Juan, Xu Yuefei, and Zhou Keyu were carried outside.

Outside, the armed team glared at Zhao Dong and yelled, "You in there, listen up! Put your hands on your head and squat against the wall! Now!"

Zhao Dong's expression remained placid, without a hint of nervousness. He even pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and began to smoke slowly.

"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf? Don't make us use the tranquilizer gun!"

They actually had a tranquilizer gun. They had received a notice from East Sea University about a serious incident. The person who called the police was none other than Zhou Keyu's father, Zhou Dahai. When he heard that his son had been beaten unconscious, he was absolutely furious.

Soon, Zhou Dahai received word that the riot squad had surrounded the assailant. He shot up from his chair, ready to go see for himself. Shi Huqing, who had been sitting in the office with him, could no longer hold back his curiosity. "Principal Zhou, what on earth has happened?"

Zhou Dahai replied with exasperation, "Mr. Shi, something terrible has happened! Someone is causing trouble on campus and beat up my son! Dozens of others were injured! I have to go see. Please, excuse me."

Shi Huqing was surprised. "Such a thing? May I go with you to take a look?"

Zhou Dahai hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Of course. Let's go together, Mr. Shi."

Shi Huqing stood, and the two of them hurried towards the Management College.

Meanwhile, facing the dozen armed men, Zhao Dong remained completely unfazed. Smoking his cigarette, he said calmly, "Don't bother with that routine. Your scare tactics won't work on me. Get that Zhou Keyu's father over here. I'm not leaving until this matter is completely resolved."

A teacher outside immediately cursed, "Who do you think you are, demanding to see Principal Zhou? Pfft! You're just a little punk!"

"Exactly! You think you can just walk away after attacking someone in our school? You're done for today!"

Lv Juan, clutching her swollen face, shot Zhao Dong a venomous glare. "You will pay for what you've done. Not only will you spend ten years in prison, but your sister will be expelled!"

Xu Yuefei added with pure hatred, "You bastard Zhao! You and your sister can just wait to die, wait to rot in jail! How dare you lay a hand on us? You're defying heaven itself! Zhao Qirou, your life is ruined, I'm telling you!"

Zhao Qirou's face went pale. She had never witnessed such a scene before, and her pretty face was etched with fear and tension. She looked at her brother, her voice trembling slightly. "Brother, are we really going to be arrested and sent to jail?"

Zhao Dong gave a faint smile. "I dare them to try. The person who can arrest me in East Sea hasn't even been born yet."

A student siding with Xu Yuefei and Lv Juan shouted, "Still talking tough when you're at death's door! Let's see how long you can keep that up!"

Someone else whispered to their friend, "Did you hear? Mr. Shi came to the school today. He was in a meeting with the principal when this whole thing interrupted them. The principal definitely won't let this guy off the hook!"

"My God, Mr. Shi is here too? He's a top-tier big shot! Even our principal has to suck up to him. This Zhao kid is in deep trouble now. If he ends up offending Mr. Shi, his life is over!"

"Let's just enjoy the show. We'll see what kind of power this kid really has to be acting so arrogant."

The crowd buzzed with speculation. Zhao Dong's expression didn't change as he calmly smoked his cigarette.

Soon, a commotion rippled through the crowd outside. Zhou Dahai and Shi Huqing had arrived.
