Chapter 277: Breaking into the Kindergarten

Chapter 277: Storming the Kindergarten

A rather tall man, cleaver in hand, loitered menacingly at the kindergarten entrance—a truly terrifying sight. The security guards immediately spotted him and instructed the teachers to keep the children safe inside their classrooms.

They remained on high alert, poised to subdue the man.

They also reported the incident, urging the police to arrive swiftly and remove him. The kindergarten was filled with young children; if he were to break in, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Yet, no matter how quickly the police responded, the man moved even faster. Perhaps the guards' wary gazes had agitated his already frayed nerves. He had initially just been pacing outside, but then, as if triggered, he suddenly charged inside, cleaver raised.

"Kill them all!!!" he shrieked, like a man possessed, as if leading a charge.

The two security guards were terrified. A male teacher, also stationed at the entrance, joined them. The trio, seeing him rush forward, immediately thrust their batons against his chest, attempting to hold him back.

"Get out! This is a school, not a place for your rampage!" the male teacher yelled, striking the man's hand with his baton, hoping to make him drop the cleaver. The other two guards pressed their batons firmly into his chest. However, due to the small contact area, they struggled to exert sufficient force. Even with all their might, he pushed them back, sending them stumbling.

This only fueled the man's rage.

His eyes slowly turned bloodshot, his expression contorted with fury. With one hand, he swatted away the batons, and despite the pain in his other hand, he refused to release the cleaver, instead brandishing it wildly!

"Ah! I'll kill you all!"

"You're the ones who ruined me! Die, die, die, die, die!"

With a furious roar, he swung the cleaver repeatedly. *Crack!* One baton was hacked clean in half, clattering to the ground. Ignoring everyone's reactions, he plowed past them and dashed straight toward the classrooms!

And, of course, it had to be the classroom where Zhao Zhao and Dudu were!

Children possess intense curiosity. Even though the teacher had sternly confined them to the classroom, forbidding them from speaking or looking outside, the children still perked up their ears, listening to the commotion and peeking out the windows.

Thus, Zhao Zhao and Dudu clearly saw him charging toward their classroom. Not only did the children begin to stir restlessly, but the teacher also gasped in horror.

Zhao Zhao and Dudu watched him intently. Dudu turned to Zhao Zhao and asked, "Why hasn't Daddy come yet to catch the bad guy? Can Daddy come save us like a hero?"

"Daddy" could refer to either her own father, Zhou Xingshi, or Zhao Zhao's father, Quan Ruifeng. Either way, as long as one of them came to the rescue, it would be fine.

Dudu's eyes were wide, making her dark pupils appear even larger.

"That's not called 'hero saving the beauty'—we're little kids, not beauties," Zhao Zhao corrected Dudu's choice of words seriously.

"And Daddy probably won't make it in time."

The bad guy was already rushing toward them. Daddies couldn't fly, so how could they arrive so quickly?

Outside, the security guards and the male teacher were also terrified. What now? They had only held him off for three seconds—this man, in his frenzy, was truly formidable!

But the classroom was full of children. No matter how scared they were, they had no choice but to sprint after him.

"Stop right there! If you've got the guts, come kill me!"

"Picking on kids? What kind of hero is that!"

But the man ignored them completely, charging toward the classroom with the cleaver, moving with surprising agility.

Just as he was about to reach the classroom door, the female teacher inside felt a wave of despair. Yet, she bravely grabbed a chair and loudly instructed the children to hide!

"Everyone, hide under the desks! Be good!"

She quickly pushed a table against the door, hoping to buy some time.

Then, she gripped the chair, ready at the entrance. If he broke in, she would swing the chair at him—even though she was terrified, she had to do it. Behind her were over a dozen children relying on her protection!

The teacher braced herself, adopting a defiant, do-or-die attitude.

But then, something comical happened. The man had been charging so fiercely, running so steadily that the security guards and the male teacher, despite their frantic sprint, couldn't keep up. Just when it seemed he would smoothly burst into the classroom, he suddenly, in full view of everyone, tripped over his own feet. *Thwack!* He sprawled onto the ground, the cleaver in his hand narrowly missing his own body!

With a loud *thud*, he hit the ground hard, utterly bewildered. *No, what just happened? How did he just fall for no reason?*

*What sense did that make???*

Perhaps even Heaven couldn't bear to see him harm children, and so deliberately made him trip.

"Wow, that was amazing!"

The children, seeing this, couldn't help but cheer, though it was unclear if they were marveling at his spectacular fall or something else. The teacher, startled, quickly gestured for everyone to quiet down.

"Shh! No talking! Whoever is good and listens, will get candy later!"

The teacher's bribe worked; the children immediately covered their mouths, falling silent.

Zhao Zhao and Dudu were no exception, but they still exchanged glances, communicating in a language only they understood.

The man lay on the ground, struggling to get up. This was a golden opportunity. The security guards and the male teacher sprinted forward, arriving just in time to pin him down before he could rise again!

The male teacher, much younger than the guards, took the lead, lunging forward and pinning him down with all his weight. He yanked the man's head backward, forcefully twisting it, while shouting—

"Quick! Grab his cleaver!!!"

If they missed this chance, it would be gone!

"On it!"

The guards weren't fools either. They didn't hesitate or fear injury, immediately going for the cleaver!

"No!!!!"
