Sometimes, even teachers who think they understand their students well can’t imagine how terrible the grudges between students can be, or how horrific a student might be to do in revenge.
The testimonies of both students proved that Gong Yuxue was the instigator. In Teacher Gu’s office, all the teachers fell silent.
Not for any other reason than that the student involved was Gong Yuxue.-
Leaving aside Gong Yuxue’s parents, Gong Yuxue herself was of excellent character, and this sudden incident was hard for all the teachers to accept.
But the victim was sitting on the sofa next to them, and this matter couldn’t just be left unresolved; the student needed an explanation.
“Let’s follow the proper procedures,” Director Gu said after some deliberation. “Teacher Qin, please call Gong Yuxue in to understand the situation. If necessary, we can also call her parents in to see what exactly happened.”
This Teacher Qin was the homeroom teacher of Class 9, and Gong Yuxue’s new homeroom teacher.
“As for Yan Han, don’t worry, the school will give you justice in this matter.”
Yan Han didn’t really care about justice, but he didn’t show any indifference at this moment. Instead, he adopted a completely victim-like and helpless posture, nodding and saying, “Thank you, Teacher Gu. But I don’t want my grandparents to know about today’s incident. They are old and live in another city…”
Normally, when something happens to a student, the school’s standard procedure is to inform the parents.
Especially in disputes between two students, it’s best to have both sets of parents present before mediation.
But in the six months Yan Han had been here, the thing he said most often to Director Gu was that he didn’t want his parents to know about his situation at school.
Director Gu sighed, knowing his family’s situation.
This student had come to him before when he was bullied at school, hoping not to tell his family, fearing his grandparents would worry. So, if possible, he didn’t want to tell Yan Han’s family and cause them worry.
But this wasn’t the first time someone had harassed Yan Han.
Director Gu was worried that this bullying was continuing.
In fact, if it weren’t for several incidents escalating and reaching his level, he wouldn’t have known about these things.
Yan Han had never approached him or reported the situation to her homeroom teacher.
He was worried that Yan Han was too stoic, enduring all sorts of harm to avoid causing trouble for her family…
If that was the case, then he absolutely had to meet with Yan Han’s parents to discuss the child’s future.
….
After understanding Teacher Gu’s concerns and worries, Yan Han was somewhat at a loss. He thought, he had never been bullied before.
At least at school, he had never felt unhappy because of anyone.
…Those he sensed, he usually dealt with, like this time.
Gong Yuxue wanted to frame him when the surveillance cameras were broken; Lin Jianlu had told him about this long ago.
Yan Han already knew that this person often tripped him up behind his back and was fed up with the feeling of being watched and waiting for an opportunity. So, taking advantage of this good opportunity, he simply decided to play along, pretending to know nothing to lure these people into the trap.
Of course, to turn the tables in the end, sufficient evidence still needed to be preserved.
Yan Han considered using the hidden device of the live streaming system to record everything in the classroom, but doing so would make it difficult to explain the source of the video, and the system had previously informed him that the live streaming equipment could only be used for learning live streaming and could not be used for other purposes. If he wanted to rely on that recording, he would probably have a hard time getting past Xiao Wu.
Just as he was struggling with this, Lin Jianlu said, “I can handle the surveillance.”
“Huh? How will you do it?” Yan Han asked.
He immediately received a “you don’t even need to ask” look from Lin Jianlu.
So Yan Han fell silent.
After all, Brother Lin had studied physics to the point of quantum mechanics. Although he might not actually be able to keep up with the theory in terms of basic physics, that was, circuits, he was still someone who possessed the system.
…It didn’t matter if he didn’t know how to fix it, but if Brother Lin said he could fix it, then he could fix it.
Moreover, he also had the skill of teleportation, so returning to the teaching building alone after school in the evening would not be a difficult task.
Thanks to Lin Jianlu’s midnight infiltration and repair of the surveillance system, the school saved a sum of money and the logistics teacher in charge of the surveillance breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In short, with Lin Jianlu fixing the surveillance in the middle of the night, everything afterward went smoothly.
Gong Yuxue and the others never expected the surveillance equipment to mysteriously return to normal the night before the exam. Their plan proceeded as scheduled, thus exposing themselves.
Having spent some time with Tang Hongbo, Yan Han knew his temperament and was fairly confident in getting him to reveal Gong Yuxue’s involvement.
Of course, all of this was also thanks to Gong Yuxue’s recent transfer from arts to science to the fourth floor; she hadn’t yet settled in.
—She was probably genuinely furious.
That’s why she acted so impulsively, thinking she could get him killed, only to be outmaneuvered.
Of course, it can’t be entirely said that she was impulsive.
After all, the monthly exam and the broken surveillance video coinciding together created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity— a perfect storm of timing, location, and people. If they didn’t act now, they might never encounter such a good opportunity again…
But considering the results… So, actually… it should be called “He who gets Lin Jianlu gets the world.”
Timing and luck weren’t really that important. Whom fate was helping was something mortals like them couldn’t say for sure in a short time, but having Brother Lin was definitely having an invincible weapon…
Yan Han, sitting obediently on the sofa in the disciplinary office, thought to himself.
Since the bullying incident last semester, Lin Jianlu had spoken to Gong Yuxue once, and she had become more restrained.
But fearing she might resurface, Lin Jianlu still kept an eye on her movements from time to time.
…This was what Lin Jianlu told him last week after that hot spring night; before that, Yan Han hadn’t paid much attention to this person.
Yan Han had never met anyone before who Lin Jianlu valued so highly, so when the other person first mentioned it to him, the older brother was a little jealous.
—Gong Yuxue was indeed a bit difficult to deal with, otherwise she wouldn’t have remained so composed for so long, but if it were Lin Jianlu…wouldn’t he be able to handle a fly?
His older brother immediately became a little displeased.
It wasn’t that he was petty; after all, the two were well-matched.
Oh, and he’d heard they were childhood sweethearts.
Lin Jianlu goes without saying; he’s knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography. With his limited knowledge, it was actually a bit difficult for him to match him.
The older brother occasionally felt a bit annoyed about this.
But it’s different with that outstanding, academically gifted goddess…
Actually, he probably wouldn’t have cared before.
They’re all friends, and he couldn’t be bothered with the details of relationships.
But now, Lin Jianlu was his boyfriend.
There’s a fly that has a crush on his boyfriend constantly buzzing around him… Even if he’s magnanimous and carefree, Yan Han will still have some reservations.
He won’t bottle up his feelings; he’ll say whatever makes him uncomfortable. That day, when Lin Jianlu told him about the little strange things he’d noticed recently, Yan Han asked about this.
Lin Jianlu was somewhat innocent at the time: “I won’t offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I’ll give them three chances; if they offend me again, I’ll eliminate them completely… That’s what you told me.”
Yan Han: “…”
“Besides, information obtained through thought cannot be used as evidence.” Lin Jianlu said at the time, “I only know what she did behind the scenes. Gong Yuxue has recently tried several underhanded things without success. Without evidence, then…”
“Then it’s impossible to convict her.” Yan Han picked up the conversation with great interest.
He already understood what the other party meant.
It was quite amazing that Lin Jianlu’s two short sentences had made his discomfort disappear.
In fact, there was no conflict between the two of them, and Yan Han was not the kind of person who liked to dwell on things.
As long as things were cleared up and he heard the explanation, the older brother would feel better.
Once he felt better, he would naturally know what to do next.
And then he waited for this opportunity.
In fact, Yan Han could tolerate some underhanded actions, and he could let bygones be bygones, as long as the other party didn’t continue to cause trouble for him. This older brother wasn’t the kind of person who held grudges.
However, less than a week later, Lin Jianlu informed him of the new developments.
Since the other party intended to use the surveillance footage to frame and destroy him… he couldn’t be blamed for taking precautions in advance.
Thus, the current situation arose.
Yan Han regained his composure slightly. Faced with the dean’s concern that he might have been bullied at school, he could only offer a small consolation: “Teacher, I’m really fine. If someone bullies me, don’t you and all the teachers here still have to give me justice?… I really just want to study…”
….
In the end, he still had to bring up the fact that he just wanted to study.
After all, this was his true feeling.
