Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Light In The Cracks 14

To protect the victim’s privacy, besides the punished party and those in the school who knew, outsiders were unaware that Lin Yao was the victim of the widely known bullying case that had been making headlines in L City recently. Therefore, Bai Zhiheng, upon meeting Lin Yao today, did not know she was the partner he envied.

Nor would anyone ever know that Lin Yao did not receive the justice she deserved. Her last memory remained in that confined, damp, bl00d-soaked abyss of despair.

This so-called justice was won for her by Liuli. She documented all the crimes that harmed Lin Yao, with supporting evidence, not letting go of any detail that could convict the bullies, thus securing irrefutable evidence and a conviction that money couldn’t buy.

Had Lin Yao survived, she would most likely have silently endured everything until she collapsed again, and once again walked to a dead end.

As Jianbing, Liuli assisted in his tribulation; their fates were intertwined. Even without a specific request for which class to join, she believed she would encounter Bai Zhiheng.

Sure enough, upon entering the classroom, Liuli and Bai Zhiheng met eyes.

Liuli stood beside the lectern, the Teacher behind her. Below, so many unfamiliar faces; she seemed a little nervous, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. A wristband on her left wrist hid a gruesome scar.

To prevent her eyes from betraying her apprehension, Lin Yao looked at the boy she had met once: “Hello everyone, I’m Lin Yao, transferring from L City Private High School. I hope to work hard with you all during the remaining half semester and get into our ideal universities. ”

Seeing the students’ lack of reaction, the Teacher standing behind her frowned: “Let’s give our new classmate a round of applause! ” She started clapping, Liu Youcai having told her that this student had been terribly bullied and needed extra care regarding her emotions.

“Lin Yao, which seat would you like? ”

Lin Yao hesitated; it was her first time facing such a kind Teacher. She leaned close to Teacher Liu and whispered, “The last row. I met that boy on the street; can I sit next to him? ”

Liu Yue and Liu Youcai are cousins, so she knew more about what happened to Lin Yao than many others who heard about it through other channels. Was it a coincidence that she wanted to sit with Bai Zhiheng, who also suffered from bullying?

Liu Yue felt that her class was going to be anything but peaceful…

She knew Bai Zhiheng was bullied, but unlike Lin Yao’s bribe-taking Head Teacher, she had wanted to help Bai Zhiheng. Bai Zhiheng’s decision to report the assault after being beaten deaf was her suggestion. However, Li Mingshan’s family’s influence was far greater than that of Ling Sheng and Xu Qiuran; they could even handle public offices like the Police Station. Forgive her, a simple worker, needing to survive and live; she couldn’t afford to offend them.

After a moment’s consideration, Liu Yue agreed: “You can. Go and sit down. We’re about to start class. ”

Whether it’s a coincidence or not, whether Lin Yao will do something because of Bai Zhiheng’s bullying, and what connection it has to her—of course, she hoped for a good outcome. She hoped Lin Yao could help Bai Zhiheng get the justice he deserved. If Lin Yao becomes a victim again, given the precedent’s influence, the investigating authorities would be more careful.

As soon as Li Mingshan heard that Lin Yao transferred from L City Private High School, he became wary. His father had told him that the L City school bullying case happened in Private High School.

Two bullied people sitting together? Could this be directed at him…?

But his family is not comparable to the trash like the Ling and Xu families. This public school is different from a private school; not everywhere has surveillance, and even if it does, it’s often not turned on. Like the cameras in each classroom, only the cameras at the school gate are normally operational.

Attempting to use the old tricks and convict them through surveillance is a pipe dream. Unlike Ling Sheng and Xu Qiuran, who have brains full of mush, he would never leave evidence if he decides to use violence.

Also, when hiring someone, isn’t a gift bag with one stick of incense and two flowers the standard? They actually used bank transfers, with their own account. Couldn’t they have just given cash at the very least? It’s truly outrageous!

Lin Yao, carrying the new textbooks and review materials from Teacher Liu, sat beside Bai Zhiheng. Both remained silent and listened attentively to the teacher.

Liu Yue had heard from Liu Youcai that Lin Yao had excellent grades and was a well-behaved student. It wasn’t an exaggeration. Maintaining the top of the grade at L City Private High School while remaining unassuming and attentive in class—she is definitely the type of student teachers love.

In reality, Liuli’s mind had wandered. In this world, Bai Zhiheng wouldn’t face life-threatening trials. Her task was to guide him, or help him overcome his bullying experience, to ensure that those who bullied him receive justice and to prevent him from going down the wrong path due to societal injustice.

The primary target is Li Mingshan—sending him to jail, or an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; one of the two.

The difference between public and private schools is that fewer students get in by paying. Even those who do pay mostly want to study hard. So even to ambush Bai Zhiheng, Li Mingshan had to resort to finding underlings outside the school.

Unlike the many onlookers and numerous participants in Lin Yao’s class, the classmates’ reaction to Bai Zhiheng’s bullying was different; this class had basically no participants, at most just cold onlookers. They were more focused on their studies.

Furthermore, the Bai and Li families are wealthy. Even though Bai Zhiheng is an adopted son, there’s still a gap between him and these ordinary students. They don’t want to become cannon fodder for either side.

People tend to follow the crowd. Even with Li Mingshan’s coercion and inducement, as long as most students don’t join, and the rest remain silent, Li Mingshan can’t single-handedly take on the whole class.

Initially, Bai Zhiheng understood his classmates’ detached attitude. After all, they didn’t bully him with Li Mingshan, which already saved him a lot of trouble.

But ignoring his bullying was also a form of condoning the perpetrators. Having endured prolonged violence, Bai Zhiheng’s mentality slowly changed. The color of the soul depends on the object of one’s gaze; darkness had begun to spread in his heart.

To test Lin Yao, after the Head Teacher left, Li Mingshan pulled Bai Zhiheng from his seat and pushed him against the back wall of the classroom: “Puppy, haven’t seen you for a summer, miss your Father? ”

Li Mingshan reached out, tore off Bai Zhiheng’s hearing aid from one ear, tossed it around in his hand for a while, and was about to throw it on the floor to crush it. Liuli seized the opportunity; the moment Li Mingshan lifted his foot and lost his balance, she pushed him to the side, narrowly preventing him from falling.
