After the quarrel where Fang Yufei was injured, the class monitor and others directly told the incident to Teacher Xiao Tian. Because they needed to retrieve the surveillance footage, Teacher Xiao Tian also reported the incident to the school immediately. The school intercepted the gymnasium video at that time period and location, and it so happened that when Lin Jianlu arrived at the teaching office, Director Gu and others were watching it.
“Hello, teacher.” Lin Jianlu greeted him as soon as he entered the room.
“Yes, Jianlu. I heard that you not only participated in the basketball game but also played well.”
Director Gu almost regarded Lin Jianlu as his favorite disciple, and he also knew about his mysophobia problem.
So, he was surprised to hear that Lin Jianlu also participated in the first-grade basketball game and also paid a little attention to the progress and results of the game. Unexpectedly, a campus fight broke out before the game started.
Director Gu continued, “Since you are here, come and take a look together.”
“Yes.” Lin Jianlu walked over.
In addition to Director Gu, there was also Teacher Oda and the head teacher of Class 3 in the office. When something like this happened, of course all the teachers involved had to be present and watch the video together before making a decision.
The images recorded in the video were very clear, showing everything that happened clearly.
It was exactly as several female students from Class 14 said, it was the people from Class 3 who started the fight first.
Because there was no sound, they didn’t know what they were talking about at the beginning, but it was true that both sides looked a little excited. However, a girl from Class 3 started the fight first and pushed Qin Siyu, who was the leader. When the others saw this, they also joined in. The students from Class 14 were no less aggressive and the fight just started.
This kind of incident where a quarrel led to a fight was common among students. After all, they were young and hot-tempered, so when this happened, the school would at most give them a warning and criticism.
But the video also recorded a group of people pushing and shoving each other. Fang Yufei was unable to fight because she did not squeeze to the front, resulting in her standing at the edge of the stairs completely out of the squabble.
At this moment, the boy from Class 3 probably saw that she was alone, so he pushed her forcefully, causing Fang Yufei to roll down the stairs. This behavior was quite bad.
“This is simply intentional injury!” Director Gu said angrily.
The head teacher of Class 3 was a male teacher who wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an old scholar.
But he was also an old-time class teacher, and he knew what his students were like. After watching the video, he was also very angry: “This Wu Jian just hangs out with girls and schemes with them all day long, that’s still fine, but I didn’t expect him to be so capable that he can even beat up his classmates!”
“Teacher Gu, do you want me to call these people over now?”
“Call them over and call the parents of these students as well. The parents of the injured students have already rushed to the school, and we will discuss it together then.”
“Good.”
The parents of the students arrived one by one, and Lin Jianlu helped Director Gu to entertain them. The cause and effect of the incident was clearly shown in the surveillance video. The others were fine, and they could be dealt with according to school rules and reprimanded. However, the school felt that Wu Jian, who had maliciously injured others, was vicious and had caused the serious consequence of his classmates being injured. He could not be easily forgiven, and the school finally decided to punish him severely.
Wu Jian, who was not only criticized by the teacher but also beaten and scolded by the parents in the dean’s office, was too ashamed to stay in school. He walked dejectedly in the corridor leading from the office building to the teaching building, wanting to go back to the classroom to pack up his things and leave quickly.
It was just after the second class in the afternoon, and the corridor should have been empty. However, Wu Jian, who was walking with his head down, suddenly saw a pair of white shoes appear in front of him…
A pretty girl wearing white sneakers and a school uniform skirt stood in the middle of the corridor, looking at him with her hands behind her back, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
“…Yan Han?” Wu Jian was startled and asked uncertainly, “Why are you here?!”
“Waiting for you.” Yan Han smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and then returned to his expressionless state, looking a little scary on this cloudy afternoon.
Wu Jian was so scared that he took a step back. He had been a sissy since he was young and had gender identity disorder, so he was very feminine, which was why he was happy to hang out with girls.
But when he stood in front of Yan Han like this, he suddenly felt a little scared.
…After all, he was still a boy physically. Logically, he should be much stronger than girls. But for some reason, facing Yan Han’s expressionless face, he suddenly felt a little scared, as if the other party would swing his fist and hit him hard in the face at the next moment, and throw him clear across the corridor.
Wu Jian took a step back calmly and asked timidly: “What do you want to do?”
“Don’t be nervous, I have no ill intentions.” Yan Han smiled innocently again and said, “If I wanted to hit you, I would have put a sack on you and not let you find out who I am. So don’t be nervous, I’m waiting here just to ask you a question.”
“…What’s the problem?”
“There have been some bad things about me circulating in school recently. It’s obvious that someone is stirring up trouble. Since you guys are sparing no effort to slander me and my classmates have heard it, I would like to ask why you are doing this to me?”
What Yan Han was talking about referred to the various remarks that had appeared on campus in recent times that all slandered him.
Those remarks were very directional. At the beginning, when his live broadcast was just exposed, the central theme of the remarks was supporting the school to severely punish him.
Later, after conducting a thorough investigation, when the school decided not to punish him against all objections, the rumors turned into saying that someone in the school was protecting him, and there were also some obscene speculations, even saying that he had a special relationship with a certain school leader.
Then came their class’s basketball game. Except for a few people who questioned Lin Jianlu, the vast majority of comments were about him. Together with the fact that the entire Class 14 was scolded, the direction of public opinion was just conveying one message: it was because of him that Class 14 became the target of public criticism and was scolded. The intention was probably to intensify the conflict between him and his classmates.
These things sounded simple, but if Yan Han had not been an adult who had experienced high school and if such things happened to ordinary students, the malicious slander alone would be enough to bring a person down.
But when it came to Brother Yan, besides treating it as a joke, he was more into thinking about the reasons behind this situation.
After coming to this school, he inexplicably got into a lot of trouble, but when he was in Class 17 before, when someone went against him, he at least knew who was making things difficult for him and for what reason. But now all kinds of comments were overwhelming, almost demonizing him, but he didn’t know who was behind him.
Just like the last time with Yu Jing and others in the alley, Yan Han had been thinking about who called the police for a long time.
He was not afraid of trouble, but he could not allow someone to do something behind his back without him knowing any information.
So this time, with an attitude of giving it a try, he blocked Wu Jian here.
When Yan Han was in the gym before, he knew from the attitudes of several girls in his class that what the students in Class 3 said about him were very unpleasant. And Yan Han just asked Qin Siyu about this, and his guess was confirmed.
What they said was really harsh, otherwise someone as calm as Qin Siyu would not have been able to resist arguing with them.
He knew Yu Jing and her gang always picked on him because they were used to being domineering and were jealous of his beauty (……), but why were the students in Class 3 were saying bad things about him behind his back?
This Yan Han found quite difficult to understand.
Class 3 was at least ranked third among the liberal arts classes, and all of its students were among the top 100 in the school. He and these people usually had nothing to do with each other, and there was not even a bit of competition!
So Yan Han was really curious about why he was being slandered by these people.
He couldn’t hold back the feeling of injustice he suffered, so this scene happened.
Yan Han not only blocked Wu Jian but also dragged him downstairs. The two stood in the shadows behind the teaching building. And Yan Han said, “Tell me, why do you hate me so much?”
“No, we don’t have any problem with you…” Wu Jian was so scared that he subconsciously denied it, “We are just following the trend to criticize!”
“Follow the trend?” Yan Han nodded, then gave him an evil smile, “Then tell me where this trend came from?”
“How would I know that…” Wu Jian’s eyes began to become erratic, and he said, “A tall tree attracts the wind. You are so beautiful and so ostentatious, there will be many people who are jealous of you.”
“So if you’re pretty, you have to be low-key?” Yan Han smiled at him. “What’s the difference between this and the idea that girls shouldn’t wear short skirts?”
Wu Jian: “…”
Not wanting to waste too much time, Yan Han felt too lazy to argue with him.
He approached him step by step. Although the two men were of similar height, Wu Jian had a feeling that he was in the other’s shadow and was being looked down upon. He had to lean against the wall and look up at Yan Han like a child who had done something wrong, watching his thin and delicate lips opening and closing as he uttered the most threatening words with terrifying momentum.
Yan Han said, “Do you want to speak for yourself, or do you want me to beat you until you speak? Fang Yufei has returned home to recover from her injuries. Although the school has punished you, I wonder if punishing someone like you can really make up for the damage she has suffered? If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have been injured in the first place.”
“What…what do you mean?”
“There is no surveillance here, and no one will come here during class. No one can see what happens here.” Yan Han showed his white teeth again.
“You, you are a girl! If we really fight, you will be the one who will suffer!” Overwhelmed by his momentum, Wu Jian collapsed and shouted.
But Yan Han still kept smiling: “Then let’s give it a try.”
As he said that, he raised his hand and punched!
“Ahhhh!” Raising his hands on both sides of his head in a gesture of surrender, the sissy Wu Jian let out a shrill scream. He was so frightened that he had no strength to fight back.
But Yan Han’s punch did not hit him, but stopped a few centimeters away from his face, and then he just pressed the opponent’s shoulder.
He stepped forward, his voice low, like an evil demon crawling out of hell, being bewitching at the same time: “I’ve heard it all. You were quite capable when you pushed my classmate, why are you so cowardly now, huh? You only know how to bully those who are easy to bully? Do you know what people like you are called? A fu**ing despicable villain!”
“Uh uh!”
Yan Han’s attack was not ruthless. He just gently pressed the man’s shoulders to control him slightly. However, Wu Jian’s psychological defenses had been broken. Although he did not feel any physical pain, he felt very uncomfortable at the moment. He struggled desperately like a drowning fish and even shed tears of pain when he heard Yan Han’s last words.
“What do you know! What do you know!”
Then, as if some kind of valve was opened, Wu Jian began to howl desperately.
It was no exaggeration to say that his actions confused even the big brother.
It was not like he had beaten someone until they cried before, but this time… he didn’t even hit them, and his scolding wasn’t even one-tenth as bad as what Wu Jian and others had said to him before, so why did he start crying now?
For a moment, the eldest brother thought that the boy was trying to scam the teacher.
But unexpectedly, Wu Jian calmed down on his own. He wiped away his tears and said, “People like you will never know what our life is like.”
Yan Han: ???
“Someone like me? Who am I?”
“You are someone like…” Wu Jian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t know how to describe it. After thinking for a while, he said, “You are someone who has no fear.”
Yan Han: “…”
“Forget it. I’m going to transfer to another school and leave here anyway. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I might as well tell you what you want to know.” Wu Jian said after sniffing.
