Chapter 100: Malicious Methods
Whenever she got out of her car, a crowd of men would gather, just to catch a glimpse of her legs. After all, she wasn’t just beautiful, but her figure was top-tier.
Her only flaw was that she was a bit cold. Not just in her personality, but also in her speech. She barely spoke, and when she did, she was concise, never more than three words.
Some upperclassmen said they hadn’t heard her speak all year, and they thought she might be mute.
But even so, her popularity surpassed Xie Mingyue’s. The unattainable swan seemed to fuel their fantasies.
“What are you looking at?”
Gao Shengtian leaned against a bookshelf, his eyes fixed on Lu Yudié’s face, on her soft, red lips. Such a beauty was best savored slowly.
Lu Yudié continued reading, ignoring him completely. He liked that. He had a masochistic streak.
But was she stupid?
No, she wasn’t. She had to maintain her image to survive. It was her only bargaining chip. But she also knew this wasn’t a long-term solution.
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Gao Shengtian wasn’t annoyed, but found her even more captivating. He wanted to conquer not just her body, but also her heart.
Tang Ze would say, It’s the apocalypse, what’s the point of conquering hearts? Just get to it.
“Look at those girls. They all came back obediently. You will too.”
He reached out to touch her cheek, but she dodged.
He chuckled instead of getting angry and beckoned to a younger brother. A battered and bruised boy was dragged over, leaving a trail of blood on the clean floor.
The other boys, sitting at the tables, laughed and teased the girls beside them. “That’s your heartthrob, the student council president. Now he’s like a dead dog. So satisfying.”
“Heh, that asshole used to be so arrogant, acting like he was the boss. Pah!”
He kicked the boy in the back, and his spine seemed to deform, a chilling sight.
The girls were shocked to see their heartthrob so badly beaten. He didn’t look like himself at all. If they hadn’t been told, they wouldn’t have recognized him.
He had offended too many people. When the order changed, he was the first to be punished.
The so-called “heartthrob” was dragged to Gao Shengtian’s feet. Gao Shengtian stepped on his head. “Well, isn’t this our young master Xin Han? Why are you so limp, like a worm? Come on, lift your head, let the goddess see you.”
Rumor had it that the “heartthrob” and the “goddess” were a couple, but it was never confirmed. But everyone thought it was possible. They were a good match, and some had even secretly taken pictures of them walking side by side, which was like a confirmation.
Lu Yudié didn’t look at him.
“Doesn’t it hurt your heart?”
Gao Shengtian grinned wickedly. He had no background, just an ordinary family, but he had been a devoted admirer of Lu Yudié, and everyone called him her “ultimate simp.”
Some students had even seen him polishing her car while she was in class, which had become a laughingstock for the whole school. But he didn’t care. He believed he could win her heart one day and hold her hand.
However, she never paid him any attention, which made him think Xin Han was the obstacle between them. The school rumors only confirmed his suspicion.
He pressed down with his foot, and Xin Han cried out in pain.
The other students swallowed hard. They hadn’t expected this “simp” to be so ruthless, killing people as if he were slaughtering chickens.
Before, a few teachers had been in charge, and they had clearly given him some hard labor. It was as if his true nature had been unleashed. In a week, he had chopped up the teachers who had oppressed him.
His cruel methods and fierce attitude had attracted many followers. But at that time, no one blamed him, because those teachers were truly animals, bullying the female students. Everyone had been disgusted by them. Until the teachers’ gazes fell on Lu Yudié, and the “simp” transformed into the “king of simps.”
“Brother Sheng, those girls are at the door.”
“Open the door.”
He said calmly.
As the door opened, the girls who had fled poured in, but seven or eight of them were missing, left behind in the snow…
Even the leader of the group hadn’t survived.
“Brother Sheng.”
The girls immediately called out to him, begging to be taken in.
He chuckled. “This isn’t a place you can just come and go as you please. Since you chose to follow Xu Fu, you betrayed me.”
“Brother Sheng, we were just confused for a moment.”
“Yes, Brother Sheng, we never meant to betray you.”
They quickly explained, afraid of being thrown out into the cold, which would be a death sentence.
Gao Shengtian turned and shouted, “Brothers, what do we do with traitors?!”
The boys didn’t speak. The girls sneered and shouted, “Fuck these bitches! Acting all pure, and they even laughed at us for being shameless!”
Gao Shengtian roared with laughter. “Brothers, did you hear that? The girls have spoken! What are you waiting for?”
The boys didn’t have to do anything. The girls rushed over and pinned the others to the ground, beating them mercilessly. After all, when they had left, they had looked down on those who had chosen Gao Shengtian.
Gao Shengtian wasn’t interested. He turned to Lu Yudié and smiled. “If it wasn’t for me, you’d be in the same situation as them now.”
She didn’t speak.
“Am I not even worthy of a single word from you?”
“Get lost.”
He was taken aback, then chuckled and stomped on Xin Han, his screams echoing through the library.
He had thought she would beg him, but even as Xin Han was dying, she didn’t react.
He beckoned to a brother and took a knife. “Watch closely. I’m going to dismember your heartthrob.”
One slash, two slashes, blood splattered, even onto Lu Yudié’s fair cheek.
Some of the students who were watching went to vomit, looking at Gao Shengtian with terror.
He held Xin Han’s head and placed it on a bookshelf, even tidying his hair. “You like him so much, now you can look at him all you want. I hope you’ll announce to everyone tomorrow that I’m your man. Otherwise, you know what will happen.”
With that, he turned and left.
Only then did Lu Yudié slowly raise her head and look at Xin Han’s head. Her face turned pale, and her stomach churned, but she suppressed the urge to vomit.
Xin Han had indeed been pursuing her, but she had never paid him any attention. But he was good at using public opinion to pressure her, often walking beside her like a boyfriend.
Now, she wasn’t sad, but worried. Tomorrow was the deadline. If she didn’t agree to be his woman, he would force her.
