Can You Hear Me

Chapter 55: Rabble

Views:

Zheng Zhaoxing, Ding Li and others were taken to the police station for further investigation.

Although the case happened two years ago, thanks to the attention and strong joint investigation by the public security department and other departments, the final verdict was that Zheng Zhaoxing, Ding Li and others bullied and beat Liang Jiashu, causing him minor injuries, which was a crime of intentional injury.

According to relevant laws, Ding Li and several other perpetrators were sentenced to more than six months of detention or control, and the case was recorded. As for Zheng Zhaoxing, victims came forward to accuse him of his evil deeds. After multiple investigations, Zheng Zhaoxing was convicted of multiple crimes including intentional injury and sentenced to the maximum detention period.

The last time the school people saw Zheng Zhaoxing was when the police took them away. Zheng Zhaoxing and his group looked pale and dejected.

The word that everyone thought of was "very satisfying".

This matter has finally come to an end.

As a result, the education department launched a large-scale campaign against school violence in the city's schools, and Shenzhen High School also established a psychological course specifically to enlighten and relieve young people who suffered psychological trauma as a result.

As soon as we entered Shenzhen High School, we saw red banners of appeal hung everywhere. In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3, which was the center of the incident, Lao Liu informed everyone of the outcome of the incident.

The whole class was silent. Everyone lowered their heads, and was troubled. The atmosphere was heavier than ever.

Old Liu took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and began to speak: "I have always said that you are a special class that I have ever taught, and it is true. I used to teach in public schools, but later I resigned to come to Shenzhen High School, a private school, to support my family. You are the first class of students I taught here. It is my negligence towards you that has led to today's result, but, children—"

"What kind of dungeon do you choose to play in your life? The world is not black and white, but when you seek hatred, hatred will find you. You leave violence, darkness, anger, and malice in this world, and they will also devour you. And those who are hurt by you will grow up, work, and party with friends, but they will still wake up from nightmares and cry one day. Why should kind people bear the evil you have done forever?"

Liu Xiping put on his glasses again and looked quietly at every student in the audience. His tone was more serious than ever before:

"Also, mental bullying is also a form of school violence, and the psychological pain is no less than the physical pain."

Although the words were not heavy and were relatively mild, they hit every student. Their hearts felt like they were being weighed down by a heavy stone. After a while, someone let out a very small cry, and then the sound grew louder and louder.

It is awakening and also repentance.

Fortunately, you still have a chance.

After her aunt learned about this, she was afraid that her child would be affected, so she arranged for Lin Weixia to transfer to another school. However, due to the complicated process, she still had to stay in Shenzhen High School for two weeks.

After this series of events, the atmosphere of confrontation in Shenzhen High School disappeared. Everyone woke up and seemed to have grown up overnight. They no longer played the game of isolation and forming cliques.

Fang Jiabei combed her bangs up and tied her hair up, revealing a pair of delicate eyebrows and eyes. She no longer wore dark-colored clothes, but changed into bright-colored clothes. She looked sunny and fresh.

The names "fish scale girl" and "freak" disappeared, and people started calling her Fang Jiabei. She also had more and more friends, the kind of friends who went to get out of class together and read comics with her.

Everyone is getting better, except for one person.

Ban Sheng never showed up.

Although everyone's faces were blurred out in the video, there were still people with malicious intent who spread rumors, and public opinion still damaged the reputation of Ban's company.

I heard that Ban Sheng’s father put him in solitary confinement for half a month.

Some people also said that Ban Sheng was going abroad.

When Lin Weixia heard the news while doing her homework, she felt like crying for some reason.

Liang Jiashu is more than a friend or a relative.

Lin Weixia wavered many times. She did not have a God's perspective and could not see the other side of all things. She could only think from her own perspective and then do these things.

It's not that she didn't hesitate, but one thing after another was like a fog, and she couldn't see clearly. For the sake of the truth, she tried her best to stay rational and calm and exposed everyone.

Lin Weixia did nothing wrong in all the things. After knowing the truth, the only person she felt guilty towards was Ban Sheng.

The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more mock exams, big and small. Often, when the bell rings, I just have time to lie down on the table and close my eyes to catch up on some sleep. When I wake up, the table is piled with test papers, and my arms are pressed on the test papers printed by the school.

When I woke up, I felt black ink on my wrist.

The senior high school students cancelled the arts and sports classes and elective classes, and these classes were often occupied by other main subject teachers. As soon as they saw the math teacher, they wailed, stuffed the music books they had just taken out back into the drawer, and took out the test papers.

It's very busy. Lin Weixia has also adapted to this high-intensity study pace, so she doesn't have any free time to think about other things.

Only sometimes, I think of him.

Once those thoughts that I had deliberately suppressed emerged from a crack in my heart,

It will be like the wildly growing palm branches outside the window, leaping upwards unrestrainedly and cannot be suppressed. When the branches block the only ray of sunlight above the head, it will be difficult to breathe.

After finishing her homework, Lin Weixia felt sore in her shoulders and neck and subconsciously looked out the window.

There is no longer a boy with a bad air, lazily leaning on the railing playing with his drone, deliberately opening a Coke to scare away the girls who are trying to chat up to him, and then causing a group of people to run away laughing.

Or a girl would stand there with her head up, pretending to be pitiful and acting like a spoiled child to a boy, and the boy would not expose her, but would raise his hand to pinch her face in public, smile and raise his eyebrows and say, "Do you want me to be coaxed by you?"

Instead, several students gathered together to review their test answers while taking a break.

Lin Weixia suddenly felt a pain in her heart. She looked to the left to confirm and saw that the empty desk was quickly occupied and piled with miscellaneous books and test papers.

There was a fallen leaf of Ficus microcarpa lying on it, probably blown in by the wind from the window.

A week later, it had turned yellow.

Lin Weixia started buying milk for herself. Every day when she passed by a convenience store on her way to school to buy breakfast, she would buy a box of M&G milk, and she would also buy a box after evening self-study.

After returning home in the evening, Lin Weixia changed her shoes at the entrance, put the milk on the dining table, slid the black backpack strap onto her snow-white wrist, and slowly prepared to walk back to her room.

"Sister, why do you buy milk every day? You buy it but don't drink it, and the house is full of it." Gao Hang took a can of Coke from the refrigerator.

There was a row of milk on the dining table, and the refrigerator was also full of Morning Light Sweet Milk. This stuff has a shelf life of only one year, and I can't finish it. Gao Hang complained in his heart.

Lin Weixia stopped walking. Under the bright light, her fair face showed a trace of bewilderment. She came back to her senses and said, "Really? I'm used to it."

The days went on as usual, Lin Weixia went to and from class on schedule, there were no more bullying incidents in the school, and the school was peaceful. They finally realized that whether it was verbal or physical bullying, it was bullying.

Lin Weixia was not ostracized because of this.

It's just that Ban Sheng was the one who suffered the most in this matter. When they gossiped behind their backs, they would talk about the two of them. Almost everyone felt sorry for Ban Sheng, and when they mentioned Lin Weixia, their tone was also full of condemnation.

Lin Weixia knew about these accusations and accepted them.

During the last two days at Shenzhen High School before transferring to another school, Lin Weixia came out of the office with her homework book in her arms, her dark eyelashes drooping, and she was in a daze as usual.

Lin Weixia was walking when she suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. With a "pop" sound, the white test papers scattered not far away.

There was a piercing pain in the kneecap, and the white elbow scraped against the pebbles, and the flesh was exposed in a shocking way.

Lin Weixia's forehead was covered with sweat from the pain. She tried to stand up, but found that she had no strength. Some students in the corridor hurriedly walked past, while others leaned on the railing to discuss questions, ignoring the situation.

No one helped Lin Weixia.

Lin Weixia lowered her eyes, and in a moment, a green skirt appeared in her sight, revealing a snow-white ankle. She moved her sight further and saw Senior Wu Suan.

She went back to Shenzhen High School to do some work today and saw this scene.

Cheng Wusuan squatted down and stretched out his hand.

Senior sister Wu Suan was wearing a green halter dress today, with her soft hair draped behind her, revealing her slender arms. The collarbone exposed at the neckline was as white as frozen snow in the long moon, and she was incredibly beautiful.

Her dark eyelashes trembled, and looking at the hand stretched out in front of her, Lin Weixia reached out and held it. Under the attention of everyone, Cheng Suan pulled her up and helped Lin Weixia up, intending to take her to the infirmary.

Lin Weixia was limping on one leg, her weight leaning on the girl next to her. When she was passing the corridor of Class 1, Grade 3, she heard a burst of laughter. Even though some people covered their mouths, the faint laughter could still be heard.

Apparently, Wu Suan heard it too.

Lin Weixia didn't intend to pay attention and was about to move forward, but Wu Suan pulled her to stop and glanced at everyone present with a stern look:

"mob."

"From what I heard, haven't you been praising her for what happened recently? The messages on the forum also say that she is a good person. Now that someone has come out to criticize her, a group of you have followed suit. Don't you have the ability to think for yourself?" Cheng Wusuan looked at the girl who covered her mouth and laughed, and said slowly, "Do you know everything that happened between the parties involved? Are you Ban Sheng herself? You jumped out to criticize her immediately."

Cheng Wu's sour red lips opened and closed, and he leaned over to look at them, saying oppressively: "Senior sister, I'm going to give you some advice. It's not a good thing to blindly follow the trend and join a group and lose your own personality and thinking ability."

Recently, Wu Suan has been reading a book called The Crowd, which says: "When people are in a group, their IQ drops significantly. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong and use their IQ to exchange for a sense of belonging that makes them feel safe."

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

The group of people looked at each other, their faces burning with anger, and lowered their heads. The crowd automatically made way for them, and Wu Suan took Lin Weixia out of the teaching building.

During this period, Lin Weixia had a poor appetite. Unexpectedly, in the last few days at Shenzhen High School, it was Wu Suan who stared at her while she ate in the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, Cheng Wusuan put down his spoon and looked at her: "He's not doing well. If you want to know about him, send me a message on the weekend."

"Hmm." Lin Weixia chewed the white rice mechanically.

Today is also her birthday, she is eighteen years old.

"Senior, can you do me a favor?" Lin Weixia raised her eyes and asked her.

Cheng Wusuan didn't think twice before replying, "Yes."

"I haven't said anything yet, Senior, just promise me."

"There aren't many people I like." There was a hint of tenderness in the curve of Wu Suan's lips.

"Thanks."

After returning home, Lin Weixia took out her cell phone and dialed Ban Sheng's number. A gentle female voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off."

The little finger suddenly curled up, and Lin Weixia found Wusuan's contact information and sent her a message.

The screen lit up quickly, and Wu Suan sent an address and asked her to go there at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

The next day, Lin Weixia took a bus to Nanwan District. After getting off the bus, she found out that there seemed to be a home of Ban Sheng nearby.

Lin Weixia stood under a palm tree quietly waiting for Wu Suan to appear, but unexpectedly, it was Li Yiran who showed up.

Li Yiran saw that Lin Weixia was also angry and wanted to say a few words for his brother, but when he saw her pale face, he held back and said:

"She'll be here soon, let me pick you up first."

Li Yiran took Lin Weixia towards the villa in the South Bay area. He didn't say much along the way and the atmosphere was silent. They stopped not far away from a blue villa.

"Ah Sheng, he can't see you now. He's locked up at home."

Li Yiran raised his hand and pointed. Lin Weixia followed his gesture and pointed in the direction he was pointing. She found that it seemed to be the home of the owner who had beaten the dog before.

The two also quarreled over Bansheng's neglect of animals.

Li Yiran and Lin Weixia stood under a tree, and soon the man in his forties came out again.

"You two had a fight once before about the dog, remember?"

Li Yiran looked at his watch and said, "Let me tell you this. There are many pet dogs and stray dogs in this wealthy area. The underage German Shepherd was picked up by that man. The stray dog was undisciplined and often stole food from neighbors. Some people were dissatisfied, so the owner started beating it to stop it from stealing."

"Of course beating the dog is a crime you deserve. But the owner is manic and mentally ill. The more you provoke him, the more he will torture the dog. Ah Sheng has lived in this area for a long time, so how could he not know what kind of person he is? That's why he doesn't let you interfere."

Lin Weixia was stunned. It was like this. He was not cold, he just pretended to be a bad guy. She had wrongly blamed Ban Sheng for everything. She even said such excessive words to him.

Li Yiran took out his cell phone and lowered his head to send a message to someone.

Soon, from a distance, Lin Weixia saw Wu Suan leading a dog out. Wu Suan walked in front of her quickly, so that Lin Weixia could see clearly that the dog she was leading was actually the German Shepherd, which had grown a lot now.

Lin Weixia squatted down unconsciously and stretched out her hand.

As if with telepathy, the puppy opened its watery eyes and rubbed its cheek gently against her palm.

Wu Suan and Li Yiran looked at each other and started talking: "Actually, at that time, Ah Sheng bribed the psychiatrist that man often saw. The doctor suggested that the man send the dog away, which was equivalent to releasing it into the wild. Then he asked me to buy it. And then it happened that a friend of mine wanted to keep a dog, so she kept it."

Ban Sheng used wits to win, while she used a head-on confrontation.

She also didn't know why Ban Sheng had always pretended to be cold, smooth, and indifferent to everything.

A teardrop fell to the ground and quickly dissolved into the air.

Everything is her fault.

"Weixia, Asheng has been through a lot, but he is actually a very good person." Wu Suan said.

"Asheng should go abroad. His father wanted to send him abroad before, but he refused, probably because of you. This time he has no choice and will be sent away." Wu Suan said.

"Didn't he prove he was an adult on his ID card last week? He can't decide this on his own." Li Yiran frowned.

When Li Yiran moved his lips and wanted to say something, suddenly a figure rushed out from somewhere and a rich fragrance wafted over.

It was Li Shengran who was just about to go out. No one knew how much she had heard.

Li Shengran glared at Lin Weixia fiercely, her eyes seemed to tear her apart. She lost her temper at her own brother:

"Why did you say so much to her?"

Lin Weixia raised her eyes and met a pair of almond-shaped eyes. Li Shengran's eyes were red, and he looked straight at her, his tone almost cursed, and he sneered and said:

“You never know what he’s been through.”

"You don't deserve him."
