You’re still young and beautiful, I’m sure you have abright future ahead of you and there are other nice young men waiting for you out there.

Chu Feng said with his serious voice, “You still have me. I’ll always stay by your side and protect you!”
“You lied! You’re lying again!” Wiping the tears off her face, Zhou Ying was finally able to get the longburied resentment off her chest with the help of alcohol. “You said the same thing ten years ago. And?You just left without saying goodbye! You went straight into the army. You were gone for ten years! Tenyears without any news!” She sobbed, “How can you do this to me? How can you be so cruel to leaveme when I needed you the most?”
This was the main reason for Zhou Ying’s resentment toward Chu Feng. Her older brother, who careddeeply for her and who always protected her, left her suddenly. She felt as if she was an abandonedchild, alone and helpless. This resulted in her resentment toward Chu Feng.
“I need the washroom.” Chu Feng remained silent for a moment before leaving the room.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the room. After sipping his liquor, Zhou Lie explained, “ZhouYing, back then, the reason Chu Feng left home in silence to join the army was because of you—”
Zhou Ying goggled at Zhou Lie in surprise and disbelief. It was because of me?
Zhou Lie continued seriously, “Do you still remember the incident with Li Dafu?”
Zhou Ying shivered as fear and helplessness flashed through her beautiful eyes. Although the incidenthappened ten years ago, it remained fresh in her memory. It was a nightmare for Zhou Ying!
Li Dafu was a Deputy Director of the Moral Education Office at her middle school. The man was richand rather influential, as his family owned a coal mining business, so he bought a Teachers’Qualification Certificate and was assigned to teach at Zhou Ying’s school.
However, Li Dafu was a scumbag who had indecent thoughts on female students in the school. Oneday, under the pretext of giving the students a lesson, Li Dafu locked Zhou Ying and other femalestudents in his office, intending to molest the girls to satisfy his twisted needs!
The girls resisted aggressively. They managed to escape after crashing through the door, but theincident became a horrible nightmare for the girls.
Infuriated, the parents of the students had lodged several complaints regarding the incident but to noavail. In the end, Li Dafu was released unpunished due to a lack of evidence and his powerful familyinfluence.
At that time, Zhou Ying was frightened out of her wits, so much so that she could neither eat nor sleepproperly for consecutive days. She often had nightmares of the incident and always woke up from hersleep, screaming for help. As a result, she lost over ten kilograms within a week.
Even until now, Zhou Ying could not forget the nightmare!
“Do you know why it didn’t take long before the police finally arrested Li Dafu for investigation and hewas imprisoned for over ten years?” Zhou Lie asked.
Zhou Ying’s eyes flickered with confusion. “Wasn’t it the police who managed to obtain enoughevidence through thorough investigation and solved the case?”
Because of this, several parents of the students presented the police department a pennant to showtheir appreciation.
“Rubbish! It was all because of Chu Feng!” Zhou Lie snarled. Half-drunk, Zhou Lie recalled the story bysaying, “That day, after Chu Feng found out that you almost got molested by Li Dafu, in a rage, he tooka kitchen knife with him and stormed into Li Dafu’s house. He went mental and waved the knife at LiDafu hysterically, which scared Li Dafu out of his wits.”
