The students watching probably only judged that Gu Changzheng was a man not to be trifled with based on his appearance and imposing manner.
But Zhao Lei, who had already arrived in front of Gu Changzheng and was standing there with his head down like a quail, truly felt the despair emanating from the man in front of him that made people feel like they were on the verge of death.
He kept trying to mentally prepare himself, telling himself that his father was Minister Zhao Guofu, someone who had influence in the provincial capital.
His mother was also a director, and although she didn't have as much power as his father, either of them had far more influence than Gu Changzheng.
For him to crush Gu Changzheng would be no different than crushing an ant.
Zhao Lei had mentally prepared himself before he came out, but when he actually stood in front of Gu Changzheng, he realized that all his mental preparation seemed to have been useless.
He sensed the aura of death emanating from the man before him.
"You...you..."
Zhao Lei had met Gu Changzheng before, more than once, but the aura Gu Changzheng exuded in each of their previous meetings was never as terrifying as it was today.
This gave him the wrong impression, the mistaken belief that Gu Changzheng was a man with little temper...
Gu Changzheng had only shown a little bit of his temper, and Zhao Lei was already so scared that he could barely speak. Although he wanted to be braver and not look so cowardly, his body reacted instinctively.
This made him very scared and also very ashamed.
How could a proper city dweller like him, with his parents backing him up, possibly lose to a country bumpkin who only got into a vocational school?
Thinking about this, Zhao Lei became much bolder.
What do you want to do?
At least he can now speak a complete sentence. Can that be considered progress?
Gu Changzheng curled his lips into a slight smile.
He put his hand on Zhao Lei's shoulder: "I heard you've been haunting my wife all this time around school?"
"I...I didn't..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt the hand casually resting on his neck tighten its grip.
That seemingly casual gesture was enough to crush Zhao Lei's bones.
Zhao Lei gasped, his face turning deathly pale.
"Gu Changzheng...you peasant...what...what do you want to do?"
It was clearly pain in his shoulder, but it was so intense that Zhao Lei couldn't bear it and knelt down.
He knelt on the ground, looking up at Gu Changzheng in a very strange posture.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his lips had turned very pale.
Even so, he had not forgotten his noble city dweller identity.
Gu Changzheng's thin lips curved into a slight smile.
"It's obvious I'm punching you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually raised his foot and kicked Zhao Lei in the knee. The force was just enough to make Zhao Lei, who was tilting his head back, fall to the ground with a thud.
Those around gasped.
Zhao Lei was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak.
Why does Gu Changzheng make such a simple action seem like it could kill someone?
Zhao Lei hugged his knees, curled up on the ground, groaning and moaning, completely unlike his previous arrogant self.
A faint, awkward smile played on Gu Changzheng's lips as he looked down at Zhao Lei, who was curled up on the ground.
"If I remember correctly, my wife has clearly rejected you many times, yet you keep pestering her. Do you think we're made of clay? Or do you think your parents can control everything in the provincial capital?"
Gu Changzheng's tone was cold, and the cold smile on his face gave people the feeling of hair standing on end.
No one would think that the smile on his face was genuine.
They just felt terrified.
Zhao Lei was in so much pain that, upon hearing Gu Changzheng's words, feeling humiliated and rejected, he decided to drop all pretense.
He forced himself to stand up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Lu Huaijiao.
"You shameless woman, if you hadn't seduced me, why would I have kept bothering you?"
He actually started biting people randomly?
Gu Changzheng raised his hand and punched Zhao Lei in the face.
The fist slammed into his cheek, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth.
Gu Changzheng knocked out two of Zhao Lei's teeth with one punch!
People around: ...
The teachers who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news: ...
They never expected that Gu Changzheng would be so ruthless, daring to make a move in front of so many people, and even going so far as to kill without any scruples.
Gu Changzheng glanced at Zhao Lei, whose cheek had been twisted from the blow, and said with a forced smile, "This is just a warning. If I ever hear you say another word about my wife again, I'll cut out your tongue."
This blatant threat made the arriving teacher gasp in shock.
Seeing Zhao Lei's current miserable state, they quickly came in from outside to separate Zhao Lei from Gu Changzheng, fearing that Gu Changzheng would make another move.
"Comrade Gu, do you think there might be some misunderstanding?"
One of the teachers had met Gu Changzheng before and knew that he was Lu Huaijiao's husband, so he spoke to Gu Changzheng first.
Gu Changzheng wasn't in a hurry to make a move; he would give his teacher face.
He gave a cold laugh.
"Teachers, you must have heard about how Zhao Lei usually pesters my wife at school, right?"
"this……"
“You’re afraid of the Zhao family’s power and choose to ignore Zhao Lei. This approach is a bit cowardly, but I can understand it.”
Gu Changzheng's words were like a direct slap on the face of the school's teachers.
They desperately wanted to deny it, but it was the truth.
Because they knew Zhao Lei's parents, they really turned a blind eye to Zhao Lei's behavior.
Everyone knows what's going on, so it doesn't feel so bad.
It's quite upsetting to hear Gu Changzheng suddenly expose this. It's as if all the teachers are afraid of those in power.
"Comrade Gu, there may be a misunderstanding here. Our school's teachers are definitely treated equally."
At this point, if they continue to side with Zhao Lei, they risk losing the credibility of their school.
If a university loses its credibility, how can it teach and educate students? Therefore, after weighing the options, the teachers quickly made a decision.
They no longer favored the Zhao family.
This is also the result Gu Changzheng wanted.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, pretending not to see the teacher's predicament, and gave a meaningful "oh": "Then why did the security clerk tell my wife that the reason my wife is being pestered by Zhao Lei is because she's too pretty, and that it's her fault?"
"Teachers, do you also believe this? That the victim is guilty?"
