Cyberbullying Carnival

Seeing Fang Huai's red eyes, tears welling up in them but still stubbornly refusing to fall, he stood in front of him like a small tree, with thin shoulders and sobs in his voice. Kong Lingyu's first reaction was to help Fang Huai wipe the wet corners of his eyes and hug him.

It was Fang Huai who repeated “I don’t like you” over and over again, it was he who rejected, and he was also the one who cried the most.

Sometimes Kong Lingyu really didn't know what to do with Fang Huai. It was Kong Lingyu who repeated "I like you" over and over again, he was the one who pestered her, and he was also the one who was rejected.

"I'm sorry, Mai Mai."

Kong Lingyu's palm had been cut by the sharp edge of the stone. He used the pain in his palm to restrain his urge to embrace Fang Huai in his arms.

"Don't be sad, don't cry."

Kong Lingyu, who is known for his eloquence in the industry, is like a clumsy mute in front of Fang Huai, and his words are terribly poor.

He could only stand in front of Fang Huai and tell him over and over again: "I'm sorry."

"Maimai, I'm sorry." Kong Lingyu took a step back and handed the umbrella to Fang Huai, who looked up at him.

Kong Lingyu stood by the lake, with endless darkness behind him. Fang Huai, his eyes blurred by tears, couldn't see his expression. He only saw Kong Lingyu's scarlet lips turned down as he forced a smile, "Maimai, you know I listen to you the most."

Kong Lingyu seemed to be sighing and wailing. He held Fang Huai's hand, and with a firm but gentle movement, he pried Fang Huai's tightly clenched hand open. Before stuffing the umbrella into Fang Huai's hand, he opened his hand and gently grasped Fang Huai's hand from the back, then quickly withdrew.

Fang Huai blinked, raised his eyes to see Kong Lingyu's face clearly, and the intertwined fingers just now seemed to be an illusion.

"Kong Lingyu."

"Hmm?" Kong Lingyu raised the end of his voice slightly. He seemed to have infinite patience and gentleness in front of Fang Huai. The rain hit his shoulders and wet his collar, but Kong Lingyu didn't care at all.

"I'll listen to you. Don't be sad, don't be upset, Mai Mai." Kong Lingyu stepped back, sat on the bench and looked up at the sky. There were no stars in the night sky tonight, but there was a cool and fine rain.

Fang Huai held the umbrella tightly, took a few steps forward, placed it on the bench, and left in the drizzle, "Kong Lingyu, go home."

"I'm going home too."

Fang Huai stopped a car in the rain and went home.

Returning to his deserted little house, he didn't turn on the lights.

All his clothes were soaked by the rain. He changed his clothes in the dark and then fell down on the soft bed. His dizzy head sank into the soft pillow, and his eyes and nose were burning with pain.

Fang Huai curled up on the bed, his hands on his chest, his pajamas wrinkled. He breathed deeply to try to relieve the pain in his chest. The pain was so severe that the tears he had held back for so long fell on his pillow like a flood when the next wave of pain came.

He is a selfish coward who can only evade and shirk responsibility, and only loses his temper at those who tolerate him.

His emotions were a mess. Fang Huai was a greedy person who had messed everything up, but he didn't dare to face it. He could only bury the excitement in his heart and hide it forever.

"You can't do that."

"sorry."

In the dark room, Fang Huai masochistically warned himself over and over again, "I can't do this. I can't do this."

Fang Huai put his hands behind his back and felt the uneven scars on his back. His lips were bleeding from being bitten because of the pain. He thought that it couldn't be worse than now.

It's terrible.

"Hello." The man's voice was cold, and his eyes never left the computer for a moment.

The private detective's voice came from the phone. The rustling sound of electricity made Li Xuan frown. His eyes were stern and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the keyboard. When the other party finished speaking, his face turned completely cold.

The blue light shone on the face with deep eyebrows and eyes, making it look serious and indifferent. After a long time, a deep male voice sounded: "Well, I understand."

"Don't pay attention to those unimportant things for now. Gather the evidence. I need it tomorrow."

Li Xuan disagreed with what the other person said. He smiled sarcastically and said, "I don't want to waste too much time on something insignificant."

"Yes, tomorrow."

The other party seemed to compromise and turned off the phone.

Li Xuan sat in front of the computer, looking at the constantly refreshing record of harassing text messages, his eyes cold.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, a statement caused an uproar on the Internet. Netizens who were watching the incident had not yet recovered from the previous incident of a university professor harassing students, and were hit hard by this statement with a lot of information attached.

The statement strictly prohibits any auxiliary evidence. It clearly lists the timeline and Cheng Wanting's harassment record for six consecutive months. For a time, many netizens were shaken. After all, the "victim's" video only had one-sided words. Li Xuan's statement put the evidence clearly in front of everyone.

After the statement was issued, Nanshi University also forwarded and liked it, and also issued a statement reiterating that the school attaches great importance to the incident.

Just when public opinion was turning around, Cheng Wanting's extreme behavior once again pushed Li Xuan to the forefront.

Cheng Wanting's account started a live broadcast at 8 o'clock in the morning. The scene was chaotic and blurry, with a pile of wooden table remains on the dirty floor. Facing the netizens who ran into the live broadcast room to question her angrily, she just smiled indifferently.

Netizens thought she was deliberately provoking them, and the comments became even more harsh.

【Don’t you have anything to say? 】

[Who is right and who is wrong between you and your mentor? ]

【Where's the evidence? I want evidence, not your one-sided story.】

[You claim that a professor at X University sexually harassed and oppressed you, and expelled you from the university. Where is the evidence?]

[Nanshi University also forwarded Li Xuan's statement. What do you have to say?]

Countless questions flooded the live broadcast interface, and the number of people online in the live broadcast room reached 100,000+. Cheng Wanting looked at the barrage quietly, hiding in the dark, without responding or refuting.

Suddenly, the barrage of comments exploded again, like water splashing into a frying pan. A large number of viewers poured into the live broadcast room, and soon exceeded 1 million+.

Cheng Wanting took out a small knife from the sofa and smiled at the camera. Just as the audience in the live broadcast room were guessing what she was going to do, they saw gushing blood and heard sharp curses in the gaps between the crazy barrage of comments.

"You are all pushing me, you are all pushing me!"

"Then I'm going to die, okay?" The woman's hysterical roar brought a momentary silence to the barrage of comments, and the live broadcast room was immediately blocked.

Cheng Wanting and Li Xuan were tied together again, with the hot search terms appearing one after another, all with the word "explosive" at the end.

The victim was forced to commit suicide live, and the perpetrator's statement distancing himself from the matter seemed ironic and humorous to some netizens. Even those who had questioned and insulted Wanting in the live broadcast room began to turn their attention to the innocent Li Xuan.

It seems that this will make them feel more at ease.

The massive online violence, which had fermented into a massive storm, kicked off again. Li Xuan's statement was filled with insulting curses, and everything was out of control. This puzzled Li Xuan, who had never encountered any setbacks in her life, and turned into endless anger. It seemed that in the eyes of these people, the truth was dispensable, and they only wanted to believe what they believed.

In fact, the truth is not important. This is just a carnival with the nature of cyber violence. The guilty conscience and the willingness to make mistakes are disgusting.

Even the comment section of Nanshi University was overwhelmed.

Li Xuan didn't understand why no one cared about the facts?

Amidst the bombardment of phone calls and text messages from friends and relatives, he learned that Cheng Wanting had been rescued, but her overall condition was not good. The leaked photos of her lying sick in bed caused countless people to feel distressed.

Li Xuan was on the opposite side of her and was relieved to hear that she was fine.

After reading the provocative text message sent by Cheng Wanting, he found it unbelievable. Cheng Wanting's ending was caused by her, so why did she keep pestering him?

Where did Cheng Wanting's hatred for him come from? But he never wanted to force Cheng Wanting into a dead end, and he didn't understand why Cheng Wanting hated him so much.

[Professor Li, how about the gift I gave you? ]

[Li Xuan, I will wait for you, until you are ruined and become a rat crossing the street.]

"Oh, Professor Li, I suddenly remembered that you have a homosexual lover, but he seems very sad now. He has another man with him. Do you think he will dump you after you are ruined? Li Xuan, people like you don't deserve anything, you hypocritical rat."

After seeing Cheng Wanting's text message, Li Xuan was no longer calm, but angry.

This time, Li Xuan completely blocked the number. He believed that a dying grasshopper could not jump very high, so there was no need for him to waste time arguing with her.

After blocking the phone number, he indeed stopped receiving harassing calls and text messages from Cheng Wanting. Instead, he was harassed by a large number of netizens who were unaware of the truth.

At first he would patiently explain, but they only believed what they thought was the truth and did not care about the truth of the facts, or they just wanted to vent their emotions that they could not argue right from wrong, and their mouths were full of swear words and insults that were unbearable to hear.

The continuous harassing phone calls and text messages for several days made Li Xuan gradually impatient.

No matter how good Li Xuan's temper was, it was worn out. He took out the SIM card and threw it away.

He decisively chose to call the police and contact a law firm. The lawyer's statement and letter were sent to Cheng Wanting and the netizens who had spread rumors and insults against him on a large scale.

Cheng Wanting and netizens who received the lawyer's letter posted the incident online again, which caused another huge uproar.

It seems that there is nothing wrong in playing the role of a weak person. As long as you are weak in their eyes, the mistakes you make can cover up the truth.

Li Xuan didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. After consulting a lawyer, she posted every detail of the incident online and tagged Cheng Wanting.

[Hello everyone, I'm Li Xuan. Regarding recent events, I will once again clarify and explain. The following content is objective fact. If it is false, I will bear the corresponding legal responsibility.]

Cheng Wanting was indeed my student, but only for two weeks...

Li Xuan placed the information he had found at the school on the front page. Cheng Wanting was once his student, but her professional skills were average. However, because she was the vice-principal's niece, she was forced into Li Xuan's team. Li Xuan's students had previously competed based on their professional abilities, with no special privileges, so the presence of this "connected" person was awkward.

But Li Xuan did not make things difficult for Cheng Wanting, and he taught her everything he knew when they were doing academic research. Because of Cheng Wanting's unprofessionalism, their research project had to be postponed.

Cheng Wanting has a sloppy attitude and a very bad study attitude. After the vice-principal was dismissed for corruption and bribery, the vice-principal's relatives were also implicated, including Cheng Wanting's parents.

Because her parents were facing imprisonment, Cheng Wanting had no energy to participate in the project research, but she did not ask for leave and simply lost contact. When she came back, the project was nearing completion and she was responsible for compiling statistical test data.

As the person in charge of this research project, Li Xuan has strict requirements. After seeing Cheng Wanting's test data, he discovered the problem. During the inspection and testing, Cheng Wanting was exposed. She not only modified the experimental data, but also secretly copied the core research data and attempted to take it away.

The team reported the matter to the school and decided to expel Cheng Wanting from the team. However, after Cheng Wanting tearfully begged for mercy, the school relented since no information had been leaked. Instead of calling the police, it expelled Cheng Wanting.

This clarification and statement were also forwarded by the school. The school also put out all the previous evidence and issued a separate statement, reiterating the seriousness of the incident and that those who maliciously spread rumors will be held legally responsible.

Those wavering onlookers began to waver again, but this time they chose to wait and see.

Cheng Wanting is live streaming again... It's like a battle without a winner or loser, with back and forth, as if there will never be an end.
