Chapter 23 Chapter 23 I want to seek justice, your son is also a tyrant...
Gu Yang stretched out his hand, grasped the railing of the rooftop, and leaned over to look down.
Wow, that’s quite high.
Students were already walking out one after another, and Gu Yang stretched out his hand to indicate the distance.
"You...classmate, you come down first. If you have anything on your mind, we can talk about it after we get down." Liu Hua had already retracted his legs. He looked at Gu Yang in panic, fearing that a single provocation would make him really jump.
It's fine if he dies, but why should we drag down another innocent person?
Gu Yang turned around and asked the person standing next to him.
"If I jump from here, will I accidentally hit some unlucky guy? How do we calculate the parabola in physics class?" Gu Yang tried to recall, but found his mind was blank.
"No, don't just jump out and fall straight down... No!" Liu Hua's expression became even more devastated. He didn't know where to put his hands. "Classmate, come down quickly. What's wrong with you at such a young age?"
"How dare you say that to me?" Gu Yang was surprised. "Weren't you the one who wanted to jump first?"
"I, but I really don't want to live anymore." Liu Hua choked and said stupidly, "You don't know anything, what can you say?"
"Then what do you know about me?" Gu Yang asked.
"I, I, I..." Liu Hua was not good at speaking, and now he couldn't even utter a word clearly. "Is there something wrong with your family? If you have any difficulties, can you tell me about it——"
He really regrets it now.
When he first came in, he should have checked to see if there was anyone here.
The boy in front of me has already withdrawn his gaze. He leaned forward with his shoulders sticking out of the railing.
! Liu Hua opened his eyes wide in horror.
You’re such a jerk, hurry up and speak!
At this moment, the locked door of the rooftop was slammed open from the inside.
Song Yinxing walked in breathlessly, holding onto the door.
Liu Hua instantly shouted at him as if he had seen a savior: "Someone is going to jump off the building——"
Yu Bai, who was about to stand up and put on his coat, paused. He looked at the ceiling in confusion and asked the students beside him: "Did you hear any sound?"
"Why do I feel like someone is shouting upstairs?" Xie Wu also heard it, and he opened the outer window to see what was going on.
About three floors above him, Xie Wu accidentally made eye contact with Gu Yang who was lying on top.
Gu Yang also greeted him.
Xie Wu: “…”
What the hell is Gu Yang doing there?
Song Yinxing's brain was still a little short of oxygen from climbing the stairs. He looked blankly at Liu Hua who was standing there steadily. The next moment, he saw Gu Yang turning back.
"Gu Yang?" He said in a lost voice, walking forward step by step, "What are you doing standing there?"
Gu Yang lowered his eyes quietly. The wind on the rooftop was very strong, blowing away the loose hair in front of his forehead, revealing his beautifully shaped eyebrows.
Song Yinxing slowly realized that this person was actually very good-looking.
He didn't know why, in this situation, this was the first thought that came to his mind.
He couldn't control himself and thought about it like an obsession, his imagination continued to extend until someone grabbed his arm.
"What should I do? This guy..." Liu Hua was incoherent. "I was fine here, and he suddenly appeared and said he wanted to jump off the building with me."
The chaotic thoughts in his mind stopped. He quickly glanced at Liu Hua with a strange look, and then quickly turned his attention back to Gu Yang.
"Gu Yang, come here quickly." Song Yinxing gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to him, "Don't stand there, the wind is too strong."
Gu Yang didn't say anything, and Song Yinxing's heart sank.
In fact, he has never been able to grasp the mode of chatting with Gu Yang. It seems that the other party's train of thought is not on the same channel as his.
Song Yinxing didn't even realize that the tone of his voice was closer to the coaxing attitude he used when he tried to pick up the injured wild cat from his home than to communicating with his classmates.
Gu Yang recalled.
There is such a passage in the original book.
A special student in the same class as Song Yinxing committed suicide by jumping off a building after suffering a physical and mental breakdown due to long-term bullying.
During the investigation, relevant personnel found a suicide note in the drawer of the special admissions student, in which the writer described his mental journey in a very calm tone.
He said that he had been under too much pressure from studying over the years, and regretted coming to Ming to study on a whim. He was unable to adjust his mentality, and finally chose to end his life in this way, which had nothing to do with anyone else.
In order to protect the school's reputation, the school tried desperately to suppress the matter.
[This rascal is just a pure cannon fodder. He originally wanted to make a big deal out of it so that the person who bullied him could be brought to justice. However, the matter was suppressed without leaving any trace. Wasn't his death in vain? 】
[He is a pretty good person. Even after being pushed to this point, he actually wants to commit suicide and keeps dragging the instigator to die with him. 】
The voice in one's heart is different from ordinary spoken words. As long as it is within the range, the volume of the sound does not matter. Everyone in Class 11 heard these words clearly.
"Hey, where is Gu Yang secretly eating melons?" Yu Bai said, "How rude of him to skip the morning meeting again."
"Who is he talking about now?"
"He doesn't even have a name, so he can't be from our class, right?" Ye Chen looked around and joked frivolously, "Does anyone among you want to commit suicide?"
No one paid any attention to him.
【……】
[If I were here to dance with him, this would probably be a very exciting thing. 】
[There’s no point in living anyway.] 】
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.
"Hahaha." Yu Bai laughed dryly. "Gu Yang is here again. He's just talking nonsense, right? Squad leader?"
He looked at He Mingying helplessly, but found that the other person's expression suddenly became strange.
"But Gu Yang now... seems to be on the rooftop." Xie Wu said blankly.
After a few seconds of silence, the sound of chairs being overturned was heard in the classroom.
Go stop it quickly ahhhhh——
Song Yinxing approached him step by step, his steps were very light, and he even held his breath, for fear of alarming the other party by accident.
Gu Yang was still in a daze, and it was hard to tell from his face whether he was happy or unhappy.
His lower eyelashes are very long, and this feature deepens the shadow under his eyes. No matter whether he lowers his eyes or looks up at people, he always has an indelible gloomy and dull temperament, whether strong or weak.
It makes people feel that it is difficult to get close to him.
In the last few steps, Song Yinxing strode forward and hugged him around the waist.
Gu Yang blinked slowly, and raised his head as if waking up from a dream: "What are you doing?"
It was not until he held the other person tightly in his arms that Song Yinxing's beating heart gradually calmed down.
He asked back, "What are you doing?"
"I'm catching up on my sleep here." Gu Yang had always had a problem leaning against others, and at this moment he lazily leaned on Song Yinxing like a boneless person, pointing at the man next to him, "And then I saw him about to jump off the building."
Song Yinxing looked at Liu Hua.
Yes, that's what happened in his dream.
Although he didn't know who this person was, Liu Hua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was finally stabilized.
But when he heard the words pointed at him, he finally came to his senses.
yes.
He was obviously the one who was going to jump first.
Later on, he, who was about to jump off the building, tried to persuade others earnestly for a long time.
It's simply the opposite of Tiangang.
Liu Hua wiped his face magically. He was thinking about changing the time, but Song Yinxing had already looked over.
He bit his lips tightly, and stepped back step by step under the other person's gaze, until he reached the railing on the other side.
"Liu Hua, don't do anything stupid." Song Yinxing had just finished pulling one, but unexpectedly another one came right away.
Liu Hua shook his head at him with a pale face.
At this time, there were waves of chaotic footsteps coming up from the stairs. Liu Hua stiffly stretched his neck to look over and found that several more people had rushed up, and he was not familiar with any of them.
What on earth is going on today?
But his emotions had already been completely disrupted by what Gu Yang had just said, and now he was just trying to make a desperate move.
Now looking at so many people, his legs and feet felt a little weak and trembling, and he held on to the pole behind him with his backhand.
The moment Yu Bai came up, he wanted to shout, "Gu Yang, calm down," but he found out that there was someone else who was about to jump.
He didn't know that person, but judging from the situation, he should be the cannon fodder that Gu Yang mentioned.
"Fuck, what's going on?" He swore rarely. He could see that Gu Yang was being held tightly by the man named Song, and the situation seemed to be relatively stable.
But he couldn't give advice to someone he didn't know. What if he accidentally offended the other person and made him jump? That would be a sin.
"Liu Hua, come down first. If you have anything on your mind, we can talk about it after we get down."
Song Yinxing did not dare to let go, fearing that once he let go, he would no longer be able to hold Gu Yang. He could only try to comfort the other person with words.
Liu Hua listened to his words, and a smile appeared on his face: "What you are saying now are the words I just said."
"Liu Hua, right?" He Ming'an said, "I just looked at your file. You are a special admissions student. Is there something wrong with your family?"
"If so, you can nod your head. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will help you."
Liu Ye hesitated, then slowly shook his head.
He Mingan caught his hesitation and was about to continue, but then he heard Liu Hua said blankly: "What you just said is also my words."
Yu Bai: “…”
Did they miss too much just now? Why can't they keep up with the pace now?
Liu Hua now felt it was magical. After all, not everyone could have such an experience. He had just advised others not to jump, but now the situation was reversed and the words were returned to him intact.
If it wasn't so inappropriate, he would even want to laugh now.
For a moment, he wanted to share this with someone, his good classmates in junior high school, or his younger sister who would gather around him as soon as she saw him at home.
He didn't know most of the people here, so he felt embarrassed to even smile.
Maybe he didn't really want to end his life at all.
He felt relieved for a moment, but the sudden surge of sourness strangled his heart.
I felt wronged, wanted to cry, and couldn't breathe.
But when he thought of that lingering shadow, he really didn't know what to do.
Whether at school or at home, he couldn't get rid of this shadow...
"Ding Ziyu."
Song Yinxing and Gu Yang said this almost in unison.
Liu Hua suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them.
The noise on the rooftop was so loud that it had already attracted the attention of the students below. The school was also alarmed and efficiently sent people upstairs to check the situation.
After a period of chaos, Liu Hua was half-forced to be taken away.
In fact, after Gu Yang did this, he no longer had any thoughts of committing suicide.
When he saw what a commotion this was causing, he was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head.
They moved into a meeting room.
Liu Ye sat on one side, and He Mingan and Gu Yang sat opposite him.
Liu Hua quickly raised his head to look at the boy he had just tried to stop, and immediately lowered his head again.
His heart, which had been already in despair, now felt a little hope for the first time in a long time.
The boy said his last name was Gu.
A classmate named Gu who is in Class 11...
After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door and He Mingan said, "Come in."
The person who walked in was Ding Ziyu. When he saw He Mingan and Gu Yang, he hurriedly smiled and greeted them, but after taking a few steps forward, he could see clearly who was sitting on the bed near the outside.
His face suddenly looked bad.
He Mingan pushed Gu Yang calmly. Gu Yang looked up and asked, "Who are you?"
Ding Ziyu's face froze, but she forced a smile the next second: "Brother Gu, how could you forget me again? I am Ding Ziyu."
This is the third time, why haven’t you gotten to know him yet? Why don’t you take him seriously at all?
"Oh, you're here." Gu Yang got straight to the point. He pointed at the person opposite him and said, "You've been bullying him, right?"
Ding Ziyu was stunned. He looked at the thin boy sitting on the sofa. The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. He wondered what was going on.
The topic was changed too quickly, so He Mingan added: "Classmate Liu Hua told us that when he was your classmate, you bullied him for a long time. You even used your family connections to threaten him. He couldn't stand it and even had some bad thoughts."
He said it politely, but Ding Ziyu understood what he meant immediately. He couldn't help but sneer: "I was just wondering who made the noise on the rooftop. It turns out it was you, a coward."
Over time, the shadow that Ding Ziyu brought to Liu Hua was so great that Liu Hua couldn't help but tremble just by hearing him speak.
"Ah? You've learned to complain? You've really become more capable. Were you crying your heart out up there just now? Why didn't you just jump down..."
"Ding Ziyu, we are all classmates, you'd better be careful with your words." He Mingan's tone suddenly became heavy.
Ding Ziyu choked, not daring to refuse He Mingan this face. Before he could finish his harsh words, his face turned pale and he felt that he had lost face in front of this poor guy. He took this matter to heart and planned to get it back when he got back.
"Brother He, there may be some misunderstandings between Liu Hua and me." Ding Ziyu said with a wry smile, "We are all classmates and live in the same class. It is normal to have some minor frictions occasionally. There is no need to be so serious."
"You are quite good at blurring the point." Seeing that Liu Hua was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, Song Yinxing spoke coldly.
"Hey, isn't this the top student Song? I'm so sorry, I didn't see you just now." Ding Ziyu said sarcastically, "But what does this have to do with you? Is it your turn to complain here?"
"Liu Hua, since you are here, let's talk it out." Ding Ziyu then turned the conversation back to Liu Hua, "Tell me how I treated you, okay?"
Liu Hua twisted the clothes in his hands. He really wanted to stand up and confront Ding Ziyu, and curse him for being such a scum and for doing so many disgusting things to him.
But once he got emotional, he couldn't stop breathing heavily and felt anxious, and he couldn't even speak.
"See, you can't say anything at all. You just want to slander me here, right?" Ding Ziyu subconsciously wanted to kick the other party, but he didn't forget that He Mingan and Gu Yang were still watching the scene. He held back and sneered again.
"Some people only do things that are not worthy of being shown to the public all day long. They spend their time crying, making a fuss, and even hanging themselves to seek justice. It would be better if they could spend more time studying hard."
At this point, he smiled maliciously, "After all, some people's parents are unemployed. If your grades don't improve and you don't qualify for free tuition this semester, won't your family have to sell the house to support you to go to high school?"
"Hahaha, it's so funny that it's going to kill people if you tell them. If it's a threshold that you can't cross, don't force it. If you do, you'll end up losing all the money you put into your coffin."
Originally Liu Hua was still trembling and enduring, but when he heard Ding Ziyu's words, he suddenly felt that something that had been tense in his mind for too long suddenly broke.
He looked up with red eyes: "You clearly promised me that as long as I listen to you, you will not touch my mother's position. You clearly promised me."
"When did I tell you that? I don't remember."
Ding Ziyu denied it without even thinking about it. He looked at Liu Hua mockingly, "Your mother is already in her fifties. If our factory wants to lay off employees, then we will definitely lay off those who are too old and inefficient."
"Brother He." Ding Ziyu said helplessly, "Look at this guy, he can't say anything. What is he talking about? What's the point of asking me about such adult matters? I am not in charge of my factory."
He Mingan looked at him without a smile on his face. He was thinking about separating the two people first. Liu Hua's thoughts were too confused right now and he couldn't reason at all.
Just then, a recording voice sounded.
It started with rustling sounds of pushing and shoving, accompanied by the laughter of several boys.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Ziyu heard his own voice clearly ringing in the room.
"Liu Hua, didn't I tell you to help me before entering the examination room today? Why are you ignoring my words?"
"If I cheat on an exam and get caught, I'm doomed. Not only will I be criticized, but I'll also lose my tuition exemption for this semester."
"We are all classmates, how can you be so selfish and only think about yourself?"
"Now it's all because of your lack of cooperation. Ziyu was caught passing notes to others from such a long distance. Ziyu will lose his pocket money for this month. He might even get a beating from his dad~"
It was his voice again: "Don't mention this. It's bad luck if you mention it. And Song Yinxing, why is he pretending to be noble? He seems to be afraid of being misunderstood by the invigilator. He won't help me."
"I've been displeased with Song for a long time. He relies on his good grades to look down on everyone. Sooner or later, I'm going to get him."
"But the one who disappointed us the most was Liu Hua. I remember his mother was still working at the Ziyu Factory. It was really in vain that she took care of him."
His voice continued, "What a coincidence! Our factory just happened to have a layoff target. I should lay off his mother first to save her from causing trouble for me."
"No! I beg you, Brother Ding, my mother is already in her fifties, she was laid off and can't find another job, she still has to support our whole family——"
"Who cares about you? It's unlucky just to look at you."
There was a loud bang, followed by the sound of the door closing, and water splashed down from above.
"Just calm down in the bathroom."
Unbridled laughter came from the phone, and the men were discussing where to go this week, but the very low and suppressed breathing sounds could still be faintly heard.
The video ends here and Song Yinxing exits the interface.
Ding Ziyu's face suddenly changed, and he glared at Song Yinxing fiercely with anger and shame.
Song Yinxing looked at the other person calmly. His gaze was not diverted at all by Ding Ziyu's threatening look. "It just happened to be next door."
"Song Yinxing, are you looking for death--" Ding Ziyu laughed in anger. He was about to snatch the phone from Song Yinxing's hand, but was stopped by an angry shout.
"Have you had enough of the trouble?"
Hearing this voice, Ding Ziyu felt as if he was in an ice cellar. He slowly turned his head and saw his father with an angry face. He trembled and called out, "Dad..."
"I don't have a son like you. Look at what you have done. I worked so hard to earn money for you to study here? Just to let you come here to do this kind of thing?"
Father Ding was so angry that he was shaking. He had just come in with the vice-principal, and before the door was even opened he had heard the whole show from beginning to end. It really made him lose face!
"No, Dad, things are not what you think..." Ding Ziyu spoke incoherently.
Liu Hua looked at this scene, his lips moved, and just as he was about to say something, he was hugged from behind.
"Silly child, you silly child." A choking voice sounded, Liu Hua's body stiffened, and his nose immediately became sore.
Mother Liu was holding her child like she had survived a disaster. She was looking for a job on the street when she suddenly received a phone call from her son's school teacher, who said that her child had some bad thoughts and had been persuaded to come back. She hoped that she could go over to take a look.
When she heard this, her hands and feet turned cold and she hurried over without caring about anything else.
Not bad, not bad.
She also heard those recordings, and the overwhelming malice made her heartbroken. When she thought about the treatment her child suffered in school, she regretted agreeing to let her child study here.
"They poured cold water on you and locked you in the toilet in the middle of winter?" Liu's mother's eyes were red.
"It's okay, Mom. The classmate who just recorded the video rescued me after they left." Liu Hua explained softly, and then was hugged by her mother and cried again.
He had been in a daze these days. Whenever he thought of the day when his mother told him with an apologetic look that she had lost her job, he felt so painful and self-blaming that he could not breathe.
He comes from a single-parent family and all family expenses depend on his mother's work. His younger sister will be going to junior high school next year, and money is needed for everything.
The excessive pressure made him unable to concentrate on reading books. Every day he dreamed that he had failed the exam and lost the qualification for free tuition.
One wrong thought and he thought of going astray.
It was not until this moment that Liu Hua finally felt like his soul had returned to its place.
What a stupid thing he almost did.
Father Ding looked at the mother and son who were hugging each other and crying, then looked at the two teenagers who were sitting quietly on the other side and had not spoken yet, and his brows jumped.
He knew that today was destined not to end well.
But he also understood that the evidence was irrefutable. His own child had almost forced someone to jump off the building. He then coughed and said, "This..."
"Liu Hua." The vice principal reminded gently from the side.
"Student Liu Hua, our Zi Yu was wrong in this matter. I have to apologize to you on his behalf. I will accompany you to the hospital to see if there is any problem. The cost of this part of the examination, including the mental damage compensation, will be paid by me."
Father Ding's attitude was quite sincere. He first talked about compensation, and then said, "And Liu Hua's mother, you are a long-time employee of our factory. There must be some misunderstanding about the layoffs this time. Don't worry, I will have someone investigate right away and guarantee to give you an explanation."
Song Yinxing listened silently at the side, and his fingers gripping the phone loosened little by little.
It’s different from the dream.
In his dream, he followed the crowd to a morning meeting, and halfway there he suddenly heard that someone had jumped off a building.
The only parent who came there was Liu's mother.
When a man in his fifties saw his child, all his strength was drained away at once, and even his waist collapsed.
Later, a suicide note appeared, and Song Yinxing vaguely saw the handwriting when they were flipping through it.
It doesn't look like it was written by Liu Hua.
He sent the recording to Liu Hua when he rescued him, hoping it would be useful to him.
But it seems not.
He has always been a very indifferent person, which is what the environment he lives in has taught him.
If you don't meddle in other people's affairs, you will avoid a lot of trouble. He should have learned a lesson the last time Nie Ying came to his house after he called the police.
But he still sent the recording out, even though it was of no use anymore.
Song Yinxing looked at Father Ding indifferently. He saw through the arrogant heart hidden under the other's sincere appearance at a glance.
They said that they would relegate the child to a lower grade and let him start a new life, but for Ding Ziyu, it was no substantial loss at all. He would continue to do evil, take advantage of the weak and act recklessly, and find his next target of bullying in the new environment.
But he had done his best to do this, at least the tragedy in his dream did not happen.
After finishing his long speech, Father Ding took a sip of water and asked in a friendly manner, "What do you two think of this plan? If possible, let's just settle it like this..."
"I don't think so." Suddenly, Gu Yang, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted Ding's father lazily.
Father Ding choked, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the boy who interrupted and made trouble.
The eldest son of the Gu family, more than 90% of their factory's business depends on a subsidiary of the other party.
He slowed down his tone and said in a very easy-going manner: "Is the compensation too little? Otherwise, they can just give me a number and I won't say anything."
Gu Yang looked at Father Ding's expression and laughed: "Uncle, I'm not talking about this. I want to redress my grievances. Your son bullied me."
Wh, what?
Father Ding was horrified. He turned to look at his disappointing son and almost couldn't help but slap him.
Ding Ziyu looked confused and shook his head in panic, indicating that he had done nothing.
The vice-principal was also shocked, and he subconsciously observed He Mingan's reaction.
Song Yinxing frowned, looking a little strange.
Gu Yang was bullied by... Ding Ziyu?
He still remembered the last time when Gu Yang asked Ding Ziyu to sweep the floor, the other party didn't dare to make a sound.
"What's going on? Classmate Gu, tell me about it." He Ming'an didn't respond. He just spoke in a businesslike tone, lowered his head and drank a sip of tea.
"Ding Ziyu blackmailed me." Gu Yang said, "He asked me for money and said if I didn't give it, he would send people to block me in the alley and let me deal with it."
"I didn't!" Ding Ziyu blurted out a retort, cold sweat running down his face, "Brother Gu, what are you talking about? I have always respected you, how could you do such a thing?"
Father Ding also said quickly: "Yes, yes, classmate Gu, is there any misunderstanding here? Although our Ziyu sometimes has a straightforward temper, how could he blackmail his classmates?"
"Maybe there's a misunderstanding. Could it be that someone is using Zi Yu's name to deliberately frame him?"
He already knew his son's character, but he couldn't help but stand up at this moment. He didn't believe that Ding Ziyu could be stupid enough to blackmail the young master of the Gu family after he had warned him so many times at home.
"Really?" Gu Yang raised his eyelids and asked indifferently, "When he called a group of people, blocked me in the alley, grabbed my hair, took out the QR code and asked me to transfer money to him, he didn't look like this."
"He also said that if I didn't give him money, he would strip me naked and make me walk back home."
Ding Ziyu had a bewildered look on his face. He was still saying, "When have I ever done such a thing?", but he suddenly felt an extremely bad feeling in his heart.
"Don't you remember? Ten thousand yuan. I scanned it into your WeChat account myself, and the transfer record is still there."
Ding Ziyu's mind buzzed, and his expression instantly became extremely wonderful.
Ten thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars that day.
When Father Ding saw how ugly he looked, his heart instantly turned cold.
This idiot wouldn't really...
"No, no!" Ding Ziyu yelled with the last of his strength, "That day I deliberately bumped into Song and let his coffee spill on my shoes! I just wanted him to accompany me. Didn't you help him pay me the 10,000 yuan?"
He had indeed lost his mind. In order to clear himself of the accusation of blackmail, he even revealed another incident of his own.
Having said this, he looked at Song Yinxing for help, even trying to get approval from him.
But Song Yinxing just looked at him calmly.
"What coffee? Why don't I remember anything about this?"
