Chapter 240 — A Slap to the Face
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Ah... not at all, it's nothing, nothing at all..." Wang Zhifeng was deeply depressed. It was all his own fault for lacking self-control; caught red-handed in his office by Wei Zhao, he would not otherwise have had to act this way.
Wei Zhao nodded, then pulled the somewhat flustered Tang Zhi toward Zou Ruoming. Tang Zhi shrank back a little, trying to slip her hand out of his, but she was no match for his strength...
By now Tang Zhi was thoroughly dazed. Holding hands with a boy right in front of the dean of academic affairs was something she had never dared even imagine! She would probably be expelled for this... And yet... Director Wang seemed not to have noticed at all, still wearing that amiable, kindly expression toward Wei Zhao.
To be honest, Tang Zhi was afraid of Zou Ruoming, deep down. It was a fear that lived in the mind. Zou Ruoming did as he pleased, and she could never know whether his next step would be something done to her.
But with Wei Zhao there was no such feeling. There never had been, and now there certainly never would be...
Smack! A resounding slap landed across Zou Ruoming's face.
Wang Zhifeng was stunned. Zou Ruoming's lackeys in the room were stunned. Even Tang Zhi stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief!
He had actually slapped Zou Ruoming across the face, right in front of the dean of academic affairs?
After the initial shock, Zou Ruoming's eyes filled with deep hatred and fear! He really was somewhat afraid of Wei Zhao. The kid was ruthless, not merely ruthless but ruthless beyond the ordinary.
"One slap is just to clear your head. Tang Zhi is my woman! If you set your sights on her again, I will make you disappear from this school!" Wei Zhao's words were ambiguous. Disappear from this school... in truth, what he meant was disappear from the face of the earth.
Domineering! Brazen! Arrogant!
That was how the students who witnessed the scene summed up Wei Zhao.
Slapping someone's face in front of the dean of discipline—who, tell me, could do such a thing? Who would dare? Yet Wei Zhao did it, and Wang Zhifeng said not a single word against it!
Not only that, but in front of Wang Zhifeng, Wei Zhao declared that Tang Zhi was his woman... From ancient times to the present, since the founding of First High School, there had likely never been a second person who dared such a thing!
Even the legendary leader of the four great schoolyard villains of the past had never been as arrogant as Wei Zhao, had he?
Tang Zhi's face was bright red. She was a little angry, yet deep in her heart there was a trace of delight... In front of the dean of academic affairs, Wei Zhao had said she was his woman?
Such a mad thing gave Tang Zhi, who had always been the school's good girl, a sudden thrill of rebellion.
"All right, Director Wang, carry on. I think these few just need a good beating—wouldn't you agree?" Having finished with Zou Ruoming, Wei Zhao turned to Wang Zhifeng and spoke as though nothing had happened, as if that slap had not been his.
"Heh heh..." Wang Zhifeng gave two dry laughs. He had no heart left to scold Zou Ruoming further, and waved his hand to dismiss them.
Wei Zhao, too, led Tang Zhi off toward the classroom building.
"Let go of me..." After a couple of steps, Tang Zhi came back to herself and hurriedly swung her arm, trying to break free of Wei Zhao's hand.
Wei Zhao had only been holding on earlier for fear she would run off; now, naturally, there was no need, so he released her hand.
"Why did you say I was your... your woman?" Tang Zhi glared at him, eyes wide, looking as though she were interrogating him. "What am I supposed to do from now on? How embarrassing is that?"
"Ha, I just wanted you to see that there is nothing to be afraid of in Zou Ruoming," Wei Zhao said, not answering her question directly. "I could feel your fear of him, so I told you with my actions that I can beat him up whenever I like—even slap his face right in front of the dean of academic affairs!"
