Not many people live in the buildings within the alley, and no one lives in this particular unit.
So, no matter how much Dong Lanlan screamed, no one would hear.
The dirty ground stained her pristine school uniform as tears streamed down her face.
The girl's face was filled with panic, she kept struggling, but ultimately it was to no avail.
"Damn it, behave yourself!"
Finally, Zhang Tao revealed his true nature, delivering a loud slap to Dong Lanlan's cheek.
The slap left Dong Lanlan's face red and swollen; she stared at Zhang Tao in a daze, no longer resisting.
"Good, you finally understand."
Seeing Dong Lanlan cease her resistance, Zhang Tao's face was filled with satisfaction.
He then tore open Dong Lanlan's school uniform, revealing her fair skin.
Dong Lanlan helplessly looked ahead as tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
But tears are the most useless thing.
They could neither stop the beast's atrocities nor allow her to escape danger.
Lying on the ground, Dong Lanlan was aware that Zhang Tao's hand was reaching into her pants.
Even her underwear was being repeatedly torn.
She wanted to resist, but the recent slap filled her heart with fear.
"Damn, today I finally got you."
As he spoke, Zhang Tao removed his pants, exposing a small peanut.
Dong Lanlan closed her eyes, biting her lip, as tears continued to flow.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached, and Dong Lanlan suddenly felt a lightness off her body.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure.
"Su Ming..."
Su Ming's gaze was cold and fierce, glaring at Zhang Tao, who he had kicked away.
He then picked up Dong Lanlan, helping her tidy her clothing.
"Su Ming, it's you again, you bastard! Why do you always ruin my plans?"
Zhang Tao got up from the ground, roaring in anger, and then pulled out a knife from his waist.
"I'll kill you!"
With that, Zhang Tao charged at Su Ming with the knife in hand.
But how could his skills be a match for Su Ming?
With just one kick, Su Ming sent the knife flying from Zhang Tao's hand, followed by another kick to his stomach.
With these two strikes, Zhang Tao was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Looks like what I told San Qiang last time, he didn't follow through."
Su Ming said as he stepped on Zhang Tao's hand.
"Call San Qiang and tell him to come over!"
Zhang Tao wanted to refuse, but the pain in his hand left him no choice.
Soon, San Qiang arrived with others.
When he saw Su Ming at the stairwell, San Qiang froze in his tracks.
"Mr. Su, why are you here?"
"I asked you to look after him last time, seems like you ignored my words?"
Su Ming looked at San Qiang coldly, then pulled on Dong Lanlan as he walked toward San Qiang.
San Qiang swallowed, stepping back with fear on his face.
Because his boss, Da Fei, had his legs broken by someone a few days ago.
And the culprit was none other than Su Ming.
"Qiang Ge, why are you afraid of this kid when you have so many people? Take him out!"
At that moment, unaware of the situation, Zhang Tao shouted.
This almost made San Qiang cry.
"Mr. Su, it wasn't me. I don't even know this kid."
"Isn't he your underling? How could you not know him?"
Upon hearing this, San Qiang's face changed. He immediately walked up to Zhang Tao and smacked his face.
"Damn it, since when did I know you? You dared to provoke Mr. Su, you're seeking death!"
"If you want to die, don't drag me down, go die yourself!"
"You bastard, I was blind to have taken you in!"
These three slaps left Zhang Tao dizzy, unable to get up from the floor.
Su Ming glanced at him lightly without speaking, pulling Dong Lanlan toward the door.
Standing at the doorway, Su Ming seemed to suddenly remember something.
"San Qiang, how are Da Fei's legs?"
Upon hearing this, San Qiang shivered all over.
"Mr. Su, Brother Fei's legs have mostly recovered."
"Is that so? He's been having a good time at the hospital, hasn't he? Would you like to feel that too?"
Even a fool could decipher Su Ming's meaning this time.
San Qiang turned to look at Zhang Tao, his eyes filled with endless hatred.
"You bastard!"
As Su Ming led Dong Lanlan out of the hallway, San Qiang's men surged in.
"Don't worry, he won't bother you again."
Seeing the lingering red marks on Dong Lanlan's face from the slap, Su Ming couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"Brother-in-law."
Dong Lanlan suddenly stopped and looked at Su Ming.
"I, I have something to tell you."
Su Ming also stopped, turning to look at Dong Lanlan.
After a long contemplation, Dong Lanlan seemed to have reached a decision.
She raised her head to meet Su Ming's eyes.
"I like you."
When she said the words "I like you," Su Ming clearly paused for a moment.
Then, he gathered himself and simply patted Dong Lanlan's head with a smile.
"Alright, if you like me, strive to do your best, get into a good school, and find a good job, okay?"
Feeling the warmth on her head, Dong Lanlan shook her head.
"No, what I mean is, I want to be with you."
Looking into Dong Lanlan's eyes, Su Ming was silent for a long time.
Soon, he smiled and said, "How old are you now? What should you be doing at your age? Do you think you could keep up with me? Not to mention others, did you see the sister in the bar that day? Do you think you could be better than her? So you need to improve yourself to truly help me, don't you think?"
Hearing Su Ming's words, Dong Lanlan stood frozen for a long time.
It was quite a while before she lifted her head.
"Then I will strive to be your capable assistant."
Su Ming smiled and pinched Dong Lanlan's cheek.
There's no denying that the skin of a young girl is indeed soft and smooth.
People often said he had a youthful aura or something—it was all nonsense.
True youth, you can't compare to it.
"Your school uniform is so dirty, why not go to Kexin's place and change into another?"
Not only was her school uniform dirty, but in the earlier struggle, Dong Lanlan was covered in dust.
Dong Lanlan nodded, reached out and held onto Su Ming's coat hem, following closely behind him.
Watching Su Ming's silhouette, her face was filled with smiles.
You shouldn't encounter someone too stunning in your youth, or you'll be trapped forever.
Because no one you meet thereafter will compare, not even a fraction, not even a thousandth!
