C281 After Lin Dong Left Qian Daloong Planned to Take Revenge

"What's happening?"

"They couldn't stop Lin Dong!"

"His gaze was so intimidating; it actually scared them!"

"I wish I hadn't stepped aside!"

After Lin Dong passed by, the boys present were filled with regret, especially Qian Daloong.

He had planned to intimidate Lin Dong with a show of force, but to his dismay, Lin Dong's presence overwhelmed them instead!

Just as he was gearing up to confront Lin Dong, Lin Dong had already walked away.

Qian Daloong's hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

A boy who followed him approached and asked, "Boss, what do we do now?"

Qian Daloong, through gritted teeth, replied, "We head back for now!"

As he spoke, he cast a lingering glance at Lin Dong's retreating figure, vowing silently, "Lin Dong, this isn't over. We'll see about that!"

Unaware of Qian Daloong's thoughts, Lin Dong continued on his way. He wouldn't have cared even if he knew.

He entered the classroom and immediately noticed Jiang Keke hurrying towards him, her expression flustered and distracted.

"Jiang Keke, what's wrong?" Lin Dong inquired.

Startled, Jiang Keke looked up, and upon seeing Lin Dong, her concern was evident. "Lin Dong! Are you okay? I just heard that Qian Daloong was looking for you... Thankfully, you're here in the classroom."

Her words were heavy with worry.

"We've already crossed paths, but it was nothing serious," Lin Dong reassured her.

Hearing this, Jiang Keke's eyes widened in shock. She gasped, "You actually ran into Qian Daloong? He didn't try anything, did he?"

Her gaze scanned Lin Dong from head to toe.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Lin Dong chuckled and said, "No, we didn't come to blows."

"That's a relief!" Jiang Keke sighed, her tension easing.

She took a seat beside Lin Dong, nervously twisting her skirt in her fingers. After a moment's hesitation, she looked at him remorsefully and said, "I'm sorry, Lin Dong. This is all my fault."

"What's this about dragging you down? I think you're pretty great," Lin Dong said with a smile.

"It's not like that at all!"

Jiang Keke turned to face Lin Dong, her gaze intent as she began to explain, "Qian Daloong and I are classmates. His family is extremely wealthy, and he's been hot-tempered since childhood. He wanted to pursue me, but I never agreed.

This made him furious, and he's taken to retaliating against any guy who gets close to me.

At our previous school, several boys ended up with broken limbs because of me, and one was even left permanently disabled.

My family and I had no choice but to transfer here, but to our dismay, he followed us... I really want to escape from him, but he's too powerful..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Jiang Keke's eyes, conveying a sense of helplessness and despair.

Then she lifted her head, her gaze steady as she looked at Lin Dong and declared, "I won't let him hurt you because of me!"

Her eyes shone with resolve as she spoke.

Lin Dong immediately understood her intention.

Qian Daloong might have an acceptable appearance, but his volatile nature made him an unsuitable partner.

Jiang Keke was aware of this, hence her persistent refusal to be with him.

She had even transferred to Jiangyang University to evade him.

But Qian Daloong had followed her there and clashed with Lin Dong. To prevent Lin Dong from suffering the same fate as those other boys, Jiang Keke was prepared to give in.

A single tear trickled down from the corner of her eye, making its way to the tip of her chin, painting a picture of vulnerability.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Lin Dong tapped his hand on the table a few times.

The crisp sound of the knocks caused Jiang Keke to involuntarily look up.

Lin Dong then said to her, "You don't have to do this. Qian Daloong is nothing but a bully. He can't hurt me, and you shouldn't have to compromise yourself like this."

"But..."

Jiang Keke tried to interject, but Lin Dong straightened up and cut her off, "Class is starting. Let's not talk about this now."

Just then, the bell signaling the start of class rang.

Jiang Keke opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately, she held back her words.

At that moment, her gaze shifted toward Lin Dong. A faint glimmer sparked in the depths of her eyes, gradually intensifying into a brilliant shine, reminiscent of stars piercing through the night's dark clouds.

This was her beacon of hope!
