Chapter 190
When Zhong Qiang heard Jian Li read out the comments he had made online, he knew he was finished.
Relying on the distance between the Internet and reality, his online identity is not as sunny and positive as in real life.
Finished.
It's all over.
Only then did Zhong Qiang feel the coldness and pain from the bottom of his heart.
Everything went dark before his eyes until his roommate hit him on the head with a stick, and then he began to feel the world become real.
It's just a real feeling of regret.
Zhong Qiang regretted it very much.
If he could go back in time, he would never take the photos, post them online, or even type out the words and secrets hidden in his heart.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
His roommate rushed over and beat him up, while his classmates looked on coldly, as if they were looking at something dirty. Zhong Qiang saw his girlfriend appear in the classroom at some point in the crowd, accompanied by several of her friends.
Zhong Qiang disliked his girlfriend for not being pretty enough, so she came up and slapped him in the face with great force.
"separate!"
The girlfriend just thought it was ridiculous: "You still think I'm not good enough for you? Why don't you open your eyes and look at what kind of person you are!"
The two are from the same hometown and know each other well. Zhong Qiang's girlfriend could never have imagined that Zhong Qiang, whose family background is even worse than hers, actually despised her behind her back because she was not pretty enough and was not from the capital.
"Are you ashamed? You spend a ton of money online and ask me for money every month. I bought your camera!"
Zhong Qiang’s girlfriend was still not satisfied after slapping him a few times, but she didn’t want to stay here anymore. She shook her hair and turned away: “Mad, remember to return the camera to me!”
It’s better to spend money on a dog than on him!
Zhong Qiang no longer had any arrogance at this moment. He covered the place where he was hit and looked at his girlfriend with pleading eyes.
He was already a nobody in Kyoto University, but his girlfriend was from the same hometown as him. If these things were to spread back home...
Zhong Qiang’s girlfriend naturally understood the look in his eyes.
But she said nothing and left with her roommate.
Don't tell? Even if she didn't tell, Zhong Qiang's affairs were bound to be known to everyone, and sooner or later, his classmates in his hometown would also know about it.
People always have to pay the price for their actions.
After watching the farce, Jian Li bowed to the disturbed old professor and said, "I'm very sorry for disturbing your class."
The old professor put on his glasses calmly and said, "It's okay."
He is also proud to have such a student at Kyoto University.
Looking at Zhong Qiang who was beaten in the back row, a trace of contempt flashed in the old professor's eyes.
People who only have knowledge but no morals are the ones who bring disgrace to the school.
Jian Li walked down from the podium, and the students who followed her applauded one by one.
Cheng Yu was the best with a red face.
Jian Li was surrounded by people as she walked out of the classroom, and everyone was praising her.
"That's awesome, sis."
“It’s so refreshing!”
"It's time to air out everything he said."
…
Once Jian Li's anger was gone, the smile on her face became even more genuine.
She waved her hand: "Let's go, I'll treat everyone to dinner!"
At the age of 19, Jian Li finally did what she wanted to do most in her life. That was to expose the rumormonger under the sun and expose his stinky thoughts.
Jian Li and everyone went out for dinner happily. As the deputy monitor, Feng Baobao directly suggested that it be a class dinner.
"The class funds haven't been used up yet."
This can also be considered as a way to vent the anger of the people in my class. After this incident, the class became more united.
Jian Li thought for a moment and said, "Since you are contributing to my cause, let me pay the lion's share."
Most school gatherings are simple, and Jian Li wanted to express her gratitude, so she decided to take everyone out for hot pot.
A group of people set out in a mighty procession. Jian Li and Cheng Yu fell behind and saw Tao Xingjian not far away.
Cheng Yu then remembered that her brother seemed to have followed her because he was afraid something might happen.
"elder brother!"
Tao Xingjian came over.
Jian Li was unsure of how to deal with Tao Xingjian. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought that Tao Xingjian might have been watching her read those comments outside the classroom.
Tao Xingjian suddenly smiled. He had a cold look, and this was the first time that Jian Li saw him smile so gently.
The gentle Tao Xingjian had an indescribable gentleness and gloom in his eyes and brows.
"Jian Li, you did a great job just now."
After such straightforward praise, Tao Xingjian got straight to the point.
"What are you going to do next?"
Cheng Yu looked at Jian Li in surprise. Why isn't the matter over yet?
Jian Li did not ask Prosecutor Tao how he guessed it, but answered honestly: "I plan to find a lawyer."
In the final analysis, public opinion should be left to public opinion, and law should be left to law.
Making the other party socially dead is only part of the price to pay.
If you spread rumors online, will you not have to bear legal consequences?
Jian Li said that the other party should bear legal responsibility, but she had a secret hope in her heart.
In fact, whether it is now or in a decade, cyberbullying and obscene rumors have always existed. It can be as big as a girl going out to pick up a parcel, or as small as taking a photo with relatives in the hospital. Even ordinary photos of daily life will be maliciously spread.
Even if you just post a few selfies on the short video platform, there will be people making vicious comments below, such as "Isn't this number 88?"
Rumors like these have troubled too many girls.
Jian Li's eyes were firm, and she thought, since she had entered such a university, she couldn't make sure there were no rumors in the world. But she could make this matter bigger through her own efforts, so big that she would become a legend in Beijing University in the future.
If her case can help future generations learn some ways to deal with the situation, then it won't be in vain that the other party has hated her.
After Jian Li finished speaking, Prosecutor Tao raised his lips and said, "Then I wonder if I have the honor to be your attorney?"
Jian Li: ...
Cheng Yu was also surprised, but soon she felt that this was a good thing.
"Xiao Li, that's great, you don't have to pay the lawyer's fees!"
Let my brother take over!
Jian Li was a little surprised, but she saw that Tao Xingjian didn't seem to be happy. Then she thought about his reputation and that he was said to be interning at a law firm...
Maybe, it really is possible?
Jian Li was determined to strike the snake while the stick was still open. When it came to using the opponent, she naturally could not be as distant as before.
"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. I'll treat you to a meal when it's resolved."
Tao Xingjian had a smile on his face, but when he heard the word "brother", the curve of his mouth corners narrowed a little.
In just a moment, Tao Xingjian calmed down.
"Well, let me put it this way. Since it's a bit troublesome to collect evidence in the middle, I'll contact you later to communicate the details."
Jian Li was immediately moved, the other party was so thoughtful.
"Brother, don't bother. I can afford your time. You can talk to me about the case when you are free!"
Jian Li felt that she had misunderstood Prosecutor Tao before, saying that the class was too strict. This was a high standard and strict requirement. Didn't you see that he took the case so seriously?
It's just a little trouble.
Jian Li apologized: "The BBS post has been deleted."
It is not like later, when once a post is deleted, as long as there is an advertisement attached to the platform, the platform is obliged to restore the data. Now once a post is deleted, it is not known whether it can be restored.
Tao Xingjian took out his own mobile phone and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."
"Tell me your number."
Jian Li obediently gave her number and pager number.
After writing down the number, Tao Xingjian also said goodbye politely: "I won't disturb your dinner party. We'll talk again next time."
After Tao Xingjian walked away, Jian Li said to Cheng Yu happily, "Our brother is such a good man."
It’s so awesome, I will be your agent if you say so.
Cheng Yu started to grumble, wondering why his brother was talking so much today.
And about the agency matter, why didn't he tell me first?
…
This time the dinner was scheduled at a small hot pot restaurant. Each person had a small pot. Jian Li generously spent several hundred yuan to entertain the classmates who spoke for her.
After the meal, everyone was tired and rode their bicycles slowly back to school, humming songs on the way.
"Today's weather is so sunny and the scenery is beautiful everywhere~"
Amidst laughter and joy, after returning to campus, Jian Li was taken away by her anxious counselor Luo Ying.
Luo Ying called Jian Li outside. It was spring now, and the magnolias in the school were gradually blooming with white flowers as big as bowls.
Luo Ying's mood was not as beautiful as the flowers.
After asking about the details, Luo Ying frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this first?"
Luo Ying, like all of Jian Li's teachers, was filled with helplessness.
"You could have told me about this first, and I would have dealt with it. Whether it was finding the other party's counselor or communicating directly with Ge Qiang. There are obviously better solutions to this matter."
Jian Li's eyes were clear: "Teacher, even if the rumor was refuted, was he punished?"
Luo Ying was speechless for a moment.
Jian Li: "He caused me trouble without any effort, and he didn't have to pay any price. Why? No one would feel pain unless the needle was stuck in their body."
Luo Ying: "That's not the point. What you are doing now will only injure a thousand enemies."
Jian Li: “That’s enough!”
No matter if I suffer a loss or not, what I want is this kind of fairness!
Luo Ying never thought that among the students in her class, the ones who gave her the most headaches were not those who failed the courses, but the good student Jian Li.
What's more troublesome is that this girl is not as flexible as others. Her bottom line and persistence are very solid and will not be shaken by anyone's words.
Luo Ying thought for a while, and finally asked: "Jian Li, do you not trust me enough?"
Jian Li's voice paused.
Luo Ying sighed and said, "Okay, even if I promise to make the decision for you now, you probably won't believe it. But I still have to say that I suggest you take legal action in this matter."
Jian Li looked at Luo Ying in surprise.
Luo Ying: "Because the school can't do anything to the other party because of the online language, the nature of this incident is also very bad. If you sue based on your reputation, the other party should leave a serious demerit in the file, and there will also be civil compensation. Of course, any more severe punishment is unlikely..."
Luo Ying frowned slightly: "Huang Rumor is the worst rumor because it is difficult to prove and the impact is wide. If you choose to sue, I can recommend you a few teachers from the School of Political Science and Law of our school. They are relatively busy, but they have many students. Your case is not complicated, and a result should be available within half a year or a year."
"I will also propose at the next meeting that Internet language be included in the student handbook. The school respects students' freedom, but freedom is not a banner for harming others. Everything should and must have a price to pay."
Jian Li was so moved that she was about to say something.
Luo Ying patted Jian Li's shoulder, changed the subject, and delivered the final blow.
"Both colleges have paid attention to your matter with Zhong Qiang, and Zhong Qiang's parents have been notified. You also need to communicate with your parents."
