It’s Him – Ch32

Justice

Li Xun still couldn’t come to terms with the fact that her mother was going to jail.

Especially during the time in the detention center, where family members weren’t allowed to visit.

Li Xun found out that she would only be able to visit once her mother was transferred to prison.

She initially thought that being alone wouldn’t be a problem, but in reality, she had already gotten used to having her mother around.

Li Xun was not someone who could hide her emotions. Her inability to move on, her feeling that she couldn’t survive without her mother, was obvious to others.

Her class was fine. They had always gotten along well, and it was unlikely anyone would bully her now.

But there were some mischievous classmates from other classes who liked to tease her.

“Li Xun, your mom’s in prison now, doesn’t that mean you can’t take the civil servant exam anymore?”

At first, it was just a joke. But seeing that she didn’t respond or resist, their verbal teasing turned into verbal bullying.

Li Xun truly didn’t want to play the anti-bullying game with high school students. From her experience and understanding of human nature, she only tried once, and deeply regretted it.

She had misjudged the person’s mental state and level of experience. How could she have known that someone who practiced PUA (psychological manipulation) would have such a fragile mental capacity? The outcome of that incident was that she nearly dropped out of school.

Now, she just wanted these people to shut up.

But instead of shutting up, they wanted to touch her face.

Li Xun was about to retaliate when a few of her classmates grabbed her.

“Xun Jie!” They pulled her behind them, hands on their hips, and pointed at these people, saying, “What do you think you’re doing?”

When the others saw the situation, they realized it wasn’t going to be fun and left.

Li Xun glanced at those people, sighed, and said, “You shouldn’t have helped me. Those people will probably hold a grudge against you now.”

Pecheng High School was strict, and conflicts between students had always existed.

“Let them. Anyway, we all live in the dorms, we move together, we’re not afraid of them.”

Li Xun looked at her classmates, noticing they were all looking at her with concern.

For the first time, she truly felt the presence of this group of high school students.

This incident served as an icebreaker. A few classmates returned to class and shared what happened, and everyone became a bit quiet.

Finally, someone said, “Li Xun can’t help it; that’s her mother. If it were my mom in that situation, I’d feel the same way.”

So, the class took collective action. Everyone kept an eye on Li Xun, making sure other students wouldn’t bully her.

Meanwhile, Teacher Zhao’s situation had gotten worse.

On one hand, it was his own problem. As he reached middle age, his physical health started to decline. When he was imprisoned, he couldn’t feel any physical discomfort because he was overwhelmed by Li Yugui’s collapse, anxiety, and pain.

Now, back home, his problems emerged. After enduring for so long, his immune system had weakened. On the day he returned, he caught a cold after a slight breeze, and his dizziness and discomfort worsened. On top of that, there were a group of people online insulting him.

Teacher Zhao didn’t sleep that night. He went through everything happening online.

Who could it be?

Li Xun?

He asked the class monitor about Li Xun’s current situation.

His class monitor, now talking to the person who had been sick and imprisoned by Li Xun’s mother, said—

“Don’t worry, Old Sir, she’s fine. Our class is united. We usually watch over her in groups of three or five, making sure no one from other classes bullies her.”

A surge of anger immediately rose in Teacher Zhao’s chest!

What’s with you three or five people? Why are you protecting her?

This was nothing like what he expected.

Teacher Zhao had always seen these high school students show their cruel side under pressure. Those negative emotions, once slightly provoked, could erupt uncontrollably.

He never thought that, when facing this kind of situation, they would show an overwhelming amount of kindness.

This was something a person like him couldn’t comprehend.

His perverse nature meant he didn’t think like an ordinary person, so he naturally didn’t understand that for a group of normal people, if given the choice, they would prefer to be the ones upholding justice.

This time, Li Xun was truly upset. Her past sincerity helped her, and it was the kindness from others that had originally tilted things in the direction of goodwill.

And that tilt was increasing.

Several classmates brought her breakfast and placed it on her desk.

This… “I did a good deed, now you do a good deed” feeling made relationships between classmates, who weren’t very close before, grow even closer.

And the reason their relationships grew closer was because they had helped Li Xun, and because of that, they were more willing to help her in the future.

These were emotions Teacher Zhao couldn’t understand. He felt as if the times had changed.

And his students were still encouraging him to comfort Li Xun.

His whole class seemed to have been purified.

The entertainment reporters used to have some boundaries, but this time, those involved were mostly after traffic. If they wanted traffic, they had to stir emotions.

“How ironic, the victim’s family still hasn’t found the body, and yet his child is about to start graduate school. I can’t imagine what the victim’s family must be thinking when they see his son.”

“If I were the family, I’d give up my life to take him and his son away.”

With their guidance, anger spread within the group.

Soon, Teacher Zhao’s phone number was leaked.

He started receiving curse messages.

“Go die.”

“May you not have a good death!”

“You worm who used the killing of a child to gain attention.”

…………

…………

Teacher Zhao stared at these messages, confused. What did this have to do with them?!

In this age, many people who roam the internet grew up listening to martial arts stories, acting tough, helping the weak, and upholding justice. It’s a phase everyone goes through.

But when they actually enter society, they understand that, in most cases, they are the weak ones who need help.

And now, the serial killer, the pure evil, was exposed to everyone.

No one feared him. Everyone was staring at him, venting the pain they had accumulated from being oppressed, while also finding joy in upholding justice.

Teacher Zhao looked at the endless stream of messages, and a long-suppressed anger rose up from his chest, rushing toward his temples.

He wasn’t afraid of being cursed at. What he couldn’t accept was being in the losing position.

Someone was scheming against him, step by step.

Since the so-called past lives began, he had been schemed against.

None of this could be a coincidence.

Who was it?!

Someone had completely destroyed his past sense of superiority, turning him into a trash can for a group of netizens’ frustration.

And as he watched this group of people swarm together, venting their anger, only to disperse after finding satisfaction and camaraderie from their actions, he realized he had no one to blame.

He was a person with a deep sense of vengeance.

But at this moment, he didn’t even know who to take revenge on.
