Qiao Lin was furious after being bullied by Zhao Yan and her gang of "social outcasts".
Now she's being betrayed by Zhang Man, the daughter of a provincial newspaper's deputy editor-in-chief whom she's always considered a follower and who was promoted by her father through connections. This is something she absolutely cannot accept.
This was even more humiliating and infuriating to her than being slapped in public!
A rush of hot blood shot into her brain, and the string of reason snapped completely.
"Zhang Man! You ungrateful wretch!" She suddenly broke free from Li Yue's grasp and lunged at Zhang Man without hesitation. "Have you forgotten how my dad helped your dad? How dare you betray me!"
"Enough!" Zhang Ruobing shouted to stop her, her face already covered with frost.
"Qiao Lin, you assaulted someone and provoked trouble; your crime is doubled!"
"Li Yue, you're stirring up trouble and creating chaos, you're equally guilty!"
"Sun Erniu, you participated in a fight and were disobedient; you are guilty!"
"Zhao Yan, using violence to solve problems is also a crime!"
"As for you..." Zhang Ruobing's gaze finally fell on Zhang Man, her eyes deep and complex, as if she could see through all her little thoughts, but in the end she only said lightly, "And you, Zhou Zhihui, Su An, the three of you, although you did not participate, you were also wrong for standing by and doing nothing. The punishment for the three of you is to clean the dormitory. You are not allowed to sleep until you have finished cleaning!"
Zhou Zhihui breathed a sigh of relief; compared to the previous ones, this punishment was nothing more than a tickle.
Zhang Ruobing pointed at the four people involved in the fight, "As for you four..."
"Fighting is the number one rule in the military! Challenging discipline is an unforgivable crime! Now, you four, report to the solitary confinement cell immediately! You'll be locked up for a week without food! You'd better reflect on your actions in there and think about what you're here for!"
Solitary confinement! Isn't that just a dark, sunless room? If you're kept in there without food for seven days, you won't even look human when you come out, let alone be able to continue participating in high-intensity training. What's the difference between that and a death sentence?
Upon hearing those three words, all four of them turned pale instantly.
Qiao Lin tried one last time to protest, "Reporting, Instructor, I'm not convinced, I'm the victim... I..."
Zhang Ruobing's aura was so powerful that Qiao Lin swallowed the rest of her sentence when she was stared at by her.
"take away!"
At Zhang Ruobing's command, two tall male instructors immediately walked in from outside. They grabbed Qiao Lin, who was still struggling, and Li Yue, who was already terrified, like picking up chicks, and dragged them outside.
Zhao Yan and Sun Erniu exchanged a glance. They were sensible enough to know that the matter was now settled, and any further trouble would only result in harsher punishment from the instructor. So they stopped begging for mercy, lowered their heads, and followed them out.
A fierce dormitory battle came to an end in such a dramatic way.
Finally, the dormitory is quiet.
Zhang Ruobing took one last look at the remaining six people.
But she said nothing, just snorted and turned to leave.
The tense atmosphere in the dormitory finally eased only after the instructors' footsteps completely disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if they had just been pulled out of the water, their backs completely soaked.
What happened just now was absolutely terrifying.
“Su…Su An…” Wang Xiaoya walked to Su Tang’s side, her voice still trembling slightly, “Just now…just now was so scary. Will the others…be alright?”
Su Tang looked into her eyes, which were like those of a frightened fawn, filled with fear and a hint of reluctance, and sighed softly in her heart.
What a silly girl.
