Chapter 24: Yang Yun

With this, the anger that had been ignored, despised, and looked down upon by Zhang Longtao was finally released. It felt great. But at the same time, I realized in my mind that I was finished, and I might not even be able to walk out of this bar.

Just when I spat out the word "Get lost," Zhang Longtao's two subordinates had already rushed over to fix me. However, they were stopped by Zhang Longtao. Zhang Longtao suddenly smiled contemptuously. He walked past me. I turned my head to see what he was planning to do. Suddenly, it went dark in front of my eyes, and something very wet was directly slammed onto my head. I was a bit dizzy from this blow, and more importantly, a very disgusting stench came, which almost suffocated me and made me pass out.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Zhang Longtao holding a toilet plunger, snorting coldly: "No one dares to talk to me like that!"

This private room had a dedicated bathroom, and naturally, there were things like plungers in the bathroom. I didn't hear Zhang Longtao's words clearly just now, mainly because my attention was attracted by the plunger in his hand. There was actually yellowish shit and piss on it, and what was even worse was that these had splashed onto my face, and even some had gotten into my mouth. At this moment, I lost my reason, and only anger remained—the anger of having my dignity trampled on. I let out a roar and rushed toward Zhang Longtao like a madman. However, what I didn't expect was that this guy Zhang Longtao seemed to have practiced before and dodged to the side very nimbly. I was directly knocked to the ground by his kick.

Zhang Longtao directly pressed the plunger onto my face. I was nauseated by the stench on the plunger, and my stomach churned, and I vomited. It was very uncomfortable.

I was disgusted, I was hateful, I hated myself for being incompetent and not strong enough, not even being able to protect the woman I loved, and I hated even more why the world treated me like this. I don't know if it was because I felt too aggrieved or because I was physically uncomfortable from vomiting, but my tears flowed down profusely.

Zhang Longtao didn't intend to let me go. He stepped on my face and threw the plunger he was holding in front of my face. An extremely disgusting stench affected my nerves again. I retched, but nothing came out, not even acid water. I tried to turn my face away, but Zhang Longtao didn't want to let me go so simply. He picked up the plunger and pressed it against my face fiercely again.

I was in pain, uncomfortable, and disgusted, feeling like I was about to collapse. My consciousness was slowly blurring. I lifted my head weakly, tears still in my eyes. I wanted to beg for mercy because my spirit was about to collapse, but when I saw Zhang Longtao's arrogant attitude, I couldn't say a word for a while.

Zhang Longtao stepped on my face and looked at me with contempt: "In my eyes, you're fucking a piece of shit. I just don't understand, how could a great beauty like Su Xueyan fall for a piece of trash like you? And even my sister actually has a good impression of you. I fucking don't understand even more, how could trash like you dare to curse at me? Telling me to get lost, who the fuck gave you the courage? With trash like you, you still dare to hang out in the underworld? Go home and suck your mother's milk!"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot, you're a bastard without a mother!"

Then Zhang Longtao kicked my face again. I closed my eyes in despair. At this moment, I wished I could just pass out and not want to accept such reality, but Zhang Longtao's voice still came to my ears: "You think you're awesome because you hit Wang Li and toppled Wang Li and got promoted? You think you have courage? Let me tell you, Wang Li is the same trash as you in my eyes, but you're an even bigger idiot!"

In front of Zhang Longtao, I had lost all face and had no dignity at all. Originally, I thought that after toppling Wang Li, I could slowly stabilize the situation and cooperate with Huang Laohu's actions to take down Zhang Longtao. But now it seemed I was truly too naive. How could I possibly contend with a figure like Zhang Longtao? If it were that simple, Huang Laohu wouldn't have let Zhang Longtao be for so many years with his strength.

Seeing my pitiful and desperate expression, Zhang Longtao curled his lips in disdain. He wiped his shoe sole on me and then said to the two subordinates beside him: "He's still not convinced. You guys beat him until he's convinced, and then let him come out to see me!"

After saying that, the two people carried me to the bathroom. They treated me like a punching bag, beating me. At this moment, I truly felt like I was about to die, even more intense than any previous feeling. I curled up in the corner, holding my head weakly. After a while, the two people dragged me from the bathroom to Zhang Longtao like a dead dog.

Zhang Longtao saw me like a dead dog, sat on the sofa, kicked me, and then said: "Don't fucking pretend to be dead. Which of the two paths I gave you do you choose?"

I lifted my head weakly, my body extremely weak. To be honest, I didn't want to agree to either of these two conditions, but I knew if I didn't answer him at this moment, he would certainly beat me again.

I couldn't bear the reaction of my body, coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said with difficulty: "I choose the first path!"

Hearing my words, Zhang Longtao looked a bit disappointed, snorted coldly, and said: "I really don't know what you're thinking, preferring to give up school and my sister rather than sending that little bitch of yours to me to play with. I really don't know whether to call you an idiot or what. Consider yourself tough! But remember what you said yourself. If I find out you still dare to approach my sister, hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless! Get lost!"

I dragged my scarred body and walked out limping. People in the bar frowned with disgust when they saw me, covering their noses because the smell on me was truly too stinking. No one would pity me, especially those who knew me, who were even more mocking.

I lowered my head, not daring to look at the gazes of the people around me, feeling that the time it took to walk out of the bar door was like a century.

I finally see it clearly now. No matter how much you endure, they won't let you go. This world is just like this: the weak are the prey of the strong. If you don't want to be trampled underfoot, you have to be ruthless and climb up step by step.

I arrived at the bar door, took out my phone, and looked at it, finding many missed calls and messages from Su Xueyan. I called back, pretending that nothing was wrong, my tone peaceful and normal: "Xueyan, what's wrong? Why so many calls!"

"Yang Yun, where are you now? Are you okay? I'll come find you!" Su Xueyan's anxious and concerned voice came through.

I don't know why, but I always felt that Su Xueyan knew about what happened today. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
