Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

"Him?"

As soon as she heard the name Chen Jun, the smile on Leng Yue's face vanished, replaced by a wave of melancholy. She sighed, "That Chen Jun is a despicable man. I really don't know what I ever saw in him."

"Ever since I rejected him at Mayor Sima's office, he's held a grudge against me. He's set countless traps for me at work, both openly and in secret. He even gets people to file fabricated complaints against me, which has led to me being investigated several times recently."

"If it weren't for him, the investigation into the Black Dragon Association wouldn't be progressing so slowly!"

As she spoke, the anger in Leng Yue's eyes intensified. "He doesn't just target me—he even went to harass my parents a few days ago. He told them that if they don't marry me off to him, he'll have them thrown in jail."

"My family is just an ordinary one. How can they possibly withstand such torment from that bastard!? My parents haven't been able to sleep these past few days because of him. They're on the verge of a mental breakdown!"

The more Leng Yue spoke, the angrier she became, until her eyes welled up and tears threatened to fall. She hated Chen Jun to the bone, yet she was powerless against him.

Just as a furious Zhao Dong was about to speak, Leng Yue's phone suddenly rang.

Leng Yue glanced at the screen, her face instantly darkening, and she immediately hung up. But as soon as she did, the phone rang again. She kept declining the call, but it relentlessly kept coming through.

Zhao Dong asked, puzzled, "Who is that? Can't they take a hint?"

"Who else could it be?" Leng Yue said angrily. "It's that bastard Chen Jun! He torments me and harasses me every single day. He's such an annoying piece of trash!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Dong's eyes as he pointed to the phone. "Answer it. Let's hear what nonsense this punk is spouting. If you don't, he definitely won't let us eat in peace."

"This... Alright," Leng Yue sighed helplessly and picked up the phone.

Answering the call, Leng Yue said with displeasure, "Chen Jun! What is wrong with you? I don't want to answer your calls, can't you understand that?"

Chen Jun, however, laughed instead of getting angry. "Yueyue, that's a bit harsh."

"I'm at your parents' house right now. If you keep talking to me like that, I can't say for sure what I might do."

"You dare!" Leng Yue cried out anxiously, shooting to her feet.

"Heh, you think I wouldn't dare?" Chen Jun sneered. "Get your ass back here right now, or your parents are going to suffer..."

"Chen Jun! You deranged bastard! I'm the director of the Provincial City Inspection Bureau! You dare touch my family? Do you have a death wish?" Leng Yue roared into the phone, "Just you wait! You just wait!"

Hanging up, Leng Yue grabbed her bag and rushed for the door.

Zhao Dong quickly moved to stop her. "Do you want me to come with you?"

Leng Yue's brows furrowed, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Zhao Dong, you don't know how vile Chen Jun is. It will be dangerous if I go back now. I'd love for you to come with me, but I'm afraid you two will fight. It's not worth making an enemy of him over me..."

"But," she bit her lip, "if you really did come with me, I would be very happy. I won't blame you if you don't come, though."

Zhao Dong smiled, reaching out to take her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. The gesture immediately sent a blush creeping up Leng Yue's pretty face, but she didn't pull her hand away.

Zhao Dong said tenderly, "You've helped me so much. How could I possibly stand by and watch you face trouble alone? Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can bully you."

With that, Zhao Dong turned to settle the bill.

Leng Yue stood frozen in place.

His words kept echoing in her mind. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. The little deer in her heart began to race as an indescribable feeling bloomed within her. For some reason, at that moment, she felt the sudden urge to throw herself into Zhao Dong's arms...

「The Leng Residence.」

Chen Jun hung up the phone and waved at the thugs behind him.

The next moment, the thugs rushed into the house and began smashing everything in sight with their clubs.

"Stop smashing! Please, stop!" Father Leng rushed out of a room, grabbing Chen Jun's hands and begging for mercy.

"Get lost!" Chen Jun shoved Father Leng away and sneered, "How many times have I been here? You were the ones who arranged the marriage, and now you're the ones who want to back out! Do you really think I, Chen Jun, am some kind of joke you can just toy with?"

"Smash it!" Chen Jun coldly ordered the thugs. "Put your backs into it!"

"No, Young Master Chen, please stop!" Father Leng cried. "We were the ones who arranged the marriage, but you were the one who didn't want Leng Yue in the first place! If you had always wanted her, why would she resent you now?"

"Go to hell!" Chen Jun slapped Father Leng viciously across the face. "You old fool, you dare blame me?"

Completely shameless, Chen Jun sneered, "Let me be clear. Back then, I looked down on Leng Yue! I didn't want her! But the Leng Yue of today? I want her! Do you know who I am? I'm Chen Jun! Women should be at my beck and call! They should come when I want them and get lost when I don't! Am I wrong?"

"You!" Father Leng trembled with rage at Chen Jun's shameless tirade. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and roared, "Chen Jun! You're a bastard! Go on, smash everything! Even if you kill us today, we will never let Yueyue marry you!"

"Damn it! You're asking to die!" Chen Jun was thoroughly enraged. He grabbed a club and swung it down at Father Leng.

Mother Leng, already trembling with fear, rushed forward, crying and pleading. Unsurprisingly, she also became a target for Chen Jun's brutal blows.

THUD!

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open.

"Dad! Mom!"

Seeing her parents' state, Leng Yue cried out and rushed toward them.

"Oh, you're back?" Chen Jun dropped his club, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Chen Jun! You bastard! You're a complete bastard!" Leng Yue shrieked. "Have you forgotten my parents used to hold you when you were little? They watched you grow up! You beast, how could you lay a hand on them?"

"Hmph! This is just how I, Chen Jun, operate—brazenly. This is just a warning. If you still refuse to marry me, I have even more twisted methods waiting for you!" Chen Jun felt no guilt whatsoever. The psychotic gleam in his eyes only intensified.

"Heh, is that so?"

At that moment, Zhao Dong's sinister voice drifted into the room.

Chen Jun whipped his head around, only then noticing Zhao Dong's presence. "It's you!?" Chen Jun's face fell. "Good! Just great! Still together in the middle of the night. So you two really are having an affair!"

"Whether Leng Yue and I are having an affair is none of your business," Zhao Dong said, stepping forward slowly. He twisted his neck, producing a series of sickening cracks. "What you should be worrying about is what's going to happen to you next."

A murderous intent so potent it was almost tangible emanated from his eyes.
