As he grew older, he committed more and more crimes, crippling classmates, bullying them, and even participating in robbery and theft, all in pursuit of thrills.
He assaulted someone, but the principal didn't dare utter a word. All of this was because he had a good family, a powerful and wealthy family.
His father was the director of an office in the Education Bureau, and his mother was a section chief in the county party committee. These may not be enough to give him the confidence to face anything. However, he also had an uncle, his own uncle, Li Changwei, who was the vice mayor of Chengdu-Chongqing City at the time.
Relying on the power of his parents and uncles, Li Jun had been doing almost nothing but misbehavior since childhood. Although the crimes he committed were not serious, they cast a shadow over the children who were victimized for a lifetime.
Seven years ago, Li Jun was the school's toughest guy, surrounded by a bunch of followers. He was always fighting, bullying classmates, and everyone in the school was afraid of him. He was so arrogant that, as outsiders would say, he would grab any passing dog and slap it twice.
Due to Li Wei's family background, the school initially resisted, but the principal was transferred, was hospitalized, and teachers were beaten. A series of events made the school dare not say much and could only turn a blind eye.
This made Li Wei even more unscrupulous at school. He changed female classmates every day, frequently went to hotels and guesthouses, and acted like a typical gangster.
Logically speaking, a person like this should be completely hopeless, but he has a peculiar habit: he prefers girls who ignore him and likes to pursue them in various ways, claiming that this is a pure love story.
Bai Xue was the girl he had been pursuing for two years. The first time he saw that young girl in a white shirt, with a slightly protruding chest and a ponytail, he was completely captivated.
So beautiful and pure, just like her name, flawless as snow.
But after two years of tireless efforts, he was still met with indifference from the girl, which made him feel embarrassed. As time went on, his resentment grew deeper and deeper.
"Brother Jun, since Bai Xue is so ungrateful, how about we go for something bigger?"
Behind him, a young man with dyed yellow hair offered a suggestion.
"What's big?"
Li Jun asked.
"Look, school's all over, there won't be many people around later. When that little girl goes out, hehe!"
Li Jun's eyes were sinister, and he didn't speak. Clearly, he was thinking and even somewhat tempted.
At 5:40 p.m., in the quiet classroom, Bai Xue finished the last math Olympiad problem when the phone rang.
"Hey! Xue'er, why aren't you back yet?"
"Dad, I did some math problems at school, I'm coming home now."
Bai Ziwu felt gratified; his daughter was becoming more and more sensible as she grew older, and her academic performance was excellent. However, he did not know that this simple phone call would be his last conversation with his daughter.
According to Li Jun's confession after his trial, Bai Xue left home at six o'clock that afternoon.
Because the school was in a remote area, there weren't many people on the road. The sky was overcast and very humid at the time, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Li Jun and three other young men waited in a car. At that time, Li Jun had no idea that he would commit a crime he had never committed before.
But when Bai Xue came out, it started raining heavily. Pedestrians on the road rushed to take shelter from the rain and paid even less attention to the school gate. The security guard was eating at the time and did not notice Bai Xue leaving the school.
When Li Jun and the others dragged Bai Xue into the car, Bai Xue was already soaked. Seeing Bai Xue's wet clothes, Li Jun lost his last bit of rationality.
They led Bai Xue to a deserted mountain forest, where Li Jun took the first step, amidst a torrential downpour...
Later, Li Jun confessed everything; the process was inhumane and the details are indescribable.
This... lasted for over four hours; a beautiful young girl, like a flower, died in the lust of a group of beasts.
According to the forensic autopsy report, Bai Xue died of mechanical asphyxiation, and her body was covered in bite marks....................
After the group finished venting, Li Jun grabbed her neck and choked her until she stopped breathing.
Bai Xue's body was found on the morning of the third day. A nearby farmer who was chopping wood discovered it after smelling a foul odor. The body was already decomposed.
Bai Xue's parents almost collapsed. The case was very sensational at the time. The police quickly identified the suspect, but the subsequent series of actions made everyone furious.
Two thugs betrayed the life imprisonment sentence, while the main culprit, Li Jun, shifted all the blame onto Huang Mao, who proposed kidnapping Bai Xue, leading to Huang Mao being sentenced to death.
To be able to openly change one's age under the watchful eyes of the general public—that requires immense backing.
Seven years ago, all the police officers who were dissatisfied with the fair verdicts were reassigned or dismissed, and some even had to leave Chengdu and Chongqing.
Bai Xue's parents refused to accept the verdict, resulting in them being beaten on the street and unable to seek justice anywhere. The people behind them even manipulated public opinion to frame the poor couple.
They have gone through seven years, their once-wealthy home reduced to bare walls, but for their daughter's grievances, they have never given up without complaint.
But as time went by, they grew more and more desperate each year. Bai Ziwu and Su Ru would never forget that one afternoon three years ago, a tall and strong young man walked up to them with an evil smile.
"Bai Xue's parents? I'm Li Jun. Do you still recognize me?"
At that moment, the two white-haired old men went mad. They were so frantic that they wanted to kill the demon in front of them. Their daughter had been wrongfully imprisoned for four years, while the perpetrator was able to get away with it. Was there any justice left in this world?
However, they sadly discovered that the devil had grown up, and they couldn't even beat him anymore. Instead, they were arrested and detained for half a month on charges of provoking trouble. At the police station, the then director, now the director of the Ludong Branch, Ma Xiaobing, subjected them to inhumane beatings and threats.
All of this is still vivid in my mind. It was so dark, so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.
And just yesterday, all of that came to an end. With the support of the nation, the provincial party committee launched a swift and decisive operation, annihilating all the darkness and restoring light.
Tonight, the rain continues and the sky is pitch black, but for ordinary people, the sky is bright.
