City: I Started As A Rich Second Generation Villain - Chapter 14 – Beating Up the School Director, Yu Miaojin’s Heart

After class, Yu Miaojin hurriedly left the classroom. She found Gu Junqing’s gaze too intense.

She couldn’t handle it—someone who usually appeared so aloof, yet his stare made her feel shy.

“Just because I wore black stockings once, does he have to look at me with such devouring eyes?”

“But why do I feel a sense of accomplishment when he looks at me like that?” Yu Miaojin blushed slightly.

She didn’t understand why she, usually so serious, was suddenly drawn to Gu Junqing.

“Is it because he’s too handsome… No, no, he’s a student, and I’m a teacher. How can I entertain such wild thoughts?”

Yu Miaojin quickly shook her head.

“But if he were a bit older, it might not be impossible! Hehe.”

Yu Miaojin lost herself in her fantasy.

Suddenly, another teacher called out to her, “Teacher Yu, Chairman Gao needs to see you about something.”

“Oh, okay, I’ll go right away.” Snapped out of her reverie, Yu Miaojin hurried toward the chairman’s office, the blush on her cheeks not yet faded.

Upon entering the office, Chairman Gao said warmly, “Xiao Yu, I called you here to discuss your promotion assessment.”

At the same time, he handed her a glass of water.

A delighted expression crossed Yu Miaojin’s face as she quickly accepted it, thanked him, and took a sip.

She didn’t notice the strange smile on Chairman Gao’s face.

“Actually, it’s like this, Xiao Yu. Since you joined our school, your teaching results have indeed been outstanding. However, there are other teachers with more seniority, so your promotion might be difficult. But I can help you!”

As he spoke, Chairman Gao walked to the door and locked it, a peculiar smile still on his face.

Yu Miaojin began to sense something was wrong, but she suddenly felt weak. A wave of heat surged through her body, making her feel as if she were burning.

Panicked, she cried out, “What do you think you’re doing? You drugged me!”

“The area around the chairman’s office has been cleared. No one will come to save you, no matter how loud you scream.” Chairman Gao delivered the classic villain line, his face twisting into a lecherous expression.

As Chairman Gao advanced step by step, Yu Miaojin retreated until her back hit the wall, leaving her nowhere to go.

Watching him draw closer, Yu Miaojin felt despair wash over her.

Suddenly, the office door was kicked open, and Gu Junqing strode in like a savior.

Chairman Gao stared at him in terror, his legs trembling.

“Is… is this human? That’s a reinforced security door! How could anyone kick it open?”

“Gu Junqing, save me!”

Tears welled up in Yu Miaojin’s eyes at the sight of him. Moments ago she had been in despair, but now hope flooded her heart, like light breaking through darkness.

Chairman Gao, his face full of panic, stammered, “Young Master Gu, wh-what are you doing here?”

As for why Gu Junqing was there, we must go back five minutes earlier.

…………

Five minutes earlier, Gu Junqing was about to leave school with Luo Ningyu.

Suddenly, he received a notification from the System.

[Ding, Yu Miaojin’s favorability toward the host has increased by 20. Current level: 50 (Admiration). Villain Points +1000.]

It turned out that Yu Miaojin had been fantasizing about Gu Junqing, unconsciously raising her favorability through her own imagination.

Having read the original novel, Gu Junqing already knew that despite being a teacher, Yu Miaojin possessed a youthful, romanticized view of love—she would unconsciously idealize and fantasize about her crush.

Gu Junqing chuckled wryly and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that, according to the original plot, this was the very day Yu Miaojin was nearly assaulted by Chairman Gao, only to be rescued later by Lin Tian. This incident marked the turning point in her feelings toward Lin Tian.

His expression changed abruptly. Blaming his distraction by Luo Ningyu’s beauty for nearly making him forget, he immediately turned back toward the chairman’s office. Since he had provoked Lin Tian earlier and driven him away, Gu Junqing wasn’t sure anyone else would come to rescue Yu Miaojin.

With no other choice, Gu Junqing quickly told Luo Ningyu to head home first while he rushed toward the chairman’s office.

Luo Ningyu pouted, feeling somewhat wronged. I was even considering letting him have his way, hmph! But seeing how urgent he looked, she obediently went home.

…………

“Chairman Gao… Chairman Gao… you almost got away with it this time.”

Gu Junqing’s gaze turned cold for the first time, a faint smirk curling at his lips.

He had driven Lin Tian away and nearly forgotten this crucial plot point because of Luo Ningyu. If not for Yu Miaojin’s self-romanticizing moment reminding him, the consequences would have been disastrous.

“Y-Young Master Gu, I was just… discussing something with Teacher Yu,” Chairman Gao stammered, trembling. He was truly afraid of Gu Junqing—unable to fight him and too terrified to threaten him. A single word from Gu Junqing could make him disappear without a trace.

“Oh? What kind of discussion leaves Teacher Yu in such a state?”

Gu Junqing stepped forward to support Yu Miaojin and immediately noticed her burning-hot skin. Wherever he touched, red patches bloomed, and her face was flushed crimson.

His anger intensified.

“Just a little more… just a bit more,” Gu Junqing said slowly, his voice filled with restrained fury.

With that, he strode forward and struck Chairman Gao with a single palm, sending him crashing into the wall with a heavy thud.

Chairman Gao tasted blood in his throat but couldn’t spit it out. Sharp pain radiated from his chest—his ribs had been shattered, leaving him barely able to breathe.

Gu Junqing grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground. Choking and suspended midair, Chairman Gao struggled helplessly, trying to pry his hand away, but the arm felt like an iron pillar—utterly immovable.

With combat power exceeding one hundred, Gu Junqing was far beyond what an ordinary person like Chairman Gao could resist. With a flick of his wrist, he hurled him back against the wall.

Yu Miaojin watched in shock, astonished by Gu Junqing’s strength. Her heart raced even faster. Already affected by the drug, his presence made it impossible for her to remain composed—her face flushed deeply, her eyes hazy and unfocused.

“Chairman Gao, I despise people like you the most—those who abuse their power to take advantage of others.”

Myself excluded, Gu Junqing added silently in his heart.

“And you dared to target my woman? You really have a death wish!”

After saying this, he made a call, summoning his subordinates to handle the situation.

Seeing Chairman Gao on the verge of losing consciousness, Gu Junqing had no intention of dealing with him personally. Killing him would only dirty his hands.

In the original novel, the school director had exploited countless female teachers using his authority. When Gu Junqing read that part, he had wanted to kill him even then. Yet the protagonist, Lin Tian, ultimately spared the man, merely seizing his leverage and using his influence for personal convenience.

Lin Tian, who claimed to hate evil, had actually spared a villain for the sake of power and utility.

But Gu Junqing had no such need. He only wanted to destroy him—and not grant him an easy death.

The last thing Yu Miaojin heard before losing consciousness was Gu Junqing declaring that she was his woman.

At that moment, she finally relaxed—because she was willing.
