Chapter 333: The Homeroom Teacher's Quote: Why Is It You and Not Someone Else?
Fortunately, Lin Fan intervened in time and prevented this tragedy from happening.
At this point, Li Qixing's eyes were already red. Speaking of almost stabbing Ou Hao just now, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. His whole body trembled. He wasn't someone who liked to fight, but rather an honest person, a diligent student, yet he was pushed to the point of pulling out a knife to protect himself due to campus bullies. Campus bullying is truly despicable.
Hearing this, Lin Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance and were both speechless.
The shock of campus violence is overwhelming. Such things, which sound like they would only happen in the underworld, actually occurred in the seemingly innocent and beautiful campus.
And sadly, this tragedy is not an isolated case. In fact, incidents related to campus violence occur from time to time, and there's simply no way to eradicate it.
No one knows why, but it's impossible to prevent campus violence from happening.
"After this happened, you've been beaten by them multiple times. Didn't you tell anyone?" Lin Fan asked.
Li Qixing replied, "Most of the classmates know what happened to me, but they didn't say anything, let alone stand up for me."
Chu Xiaoxiao said, "I'm sorry, Li Qixing, I didn't know about this."
Chu Xiaoxiao was also someone who was focused, and she indeed didn't know about these matters unrelated to her studies.
If she had known about it, she would have helped Li Qixing, instead of being indifferent like the other classmates.
Li Qixing looked at Chu Xiaoxiao but said nothing. To him, Chu Xiaoxiao was like a goddess who was difficult to approach. How could he even hope for the goddess to help him?
Lin Fan said, "If the classmates didn't help you, did you tell the teachers, the principal, or the school authorities?"
Li Qixing: "I told the homeroom teacher, but he didn't help me. He just asked me why I was involved with those people. Why didn't others get involved with them, but I did? Shouldn't I reflect on myself? Isn't it my problem? The homeroom teacher wanted me to find the problem within myself, but he didn't help me deal with those who beat me. I went to see the school leadership, but they basically ignored me. Some were just like the homeroom teacher. One school leader went to talk to Ou Hao, asking him not to hit me anymore, but Ou Hao didn't listen to the school leader at all and continued to beat me, and then that school leader didn't care about me anymore either."
Lin Fan said, "Did you tell your parents?"
Li Qixing said, "I didn't want them to worry about me, so I didn't tell them about this. However, I did tell this to one of my uncles. My uncle comforted me and said he would come to pick me up from school. I guess he didn't want me to get into a fight with them, so he promised to come see me, but before I could meet him, they caught me and beat me up."
Lin Fan furrowed his brows. Listening to what Li Qixing said, it seems the crux of the problem has been found. It's the school's inaction that caused campus violence to run rampant. In the face of violence, Li Qixing's homeroom teacher not only didn't help him but also questioned if it was his problem, which is rather shameful.
If the school could handle the situation promptly, support Li Qixing, and punish the violent students, then campus violence could be curbed, instead of being condoned, persisting, and occurring without any means of stopping. Students being bullied and deeply hurt could also be avoided.
Lin Fan suddenly thought, does the principal, Liu Mengjie, know about this?
So, Lin Fan took out his phone and called Liu Mengjie to tell her about the situation. Liu Mengjie was shocked when she heard about it from Lin Fan.
"I heard feedback about this from those below, and assigned someone to handle it. Then those below told me that it had been resolved. Well, today it seems they lied to me. Where are you now? I'll come over and handle it myself immediately," said Liu Mengjie.
Lin Fan told Liu Mengjie where they were, and she soon called the police and brought them over.
The police came and first rounded up Blonde Hair and his gang of thugs, shoving them into the police car.
Liu Mengjie asked the police how this should be handled. The police suggested to Liu Mengjie that they bring both sets of parents in to discuss how to resolve the matter and come up with a solution through discussion.
So, Liu Mengjie notified the parents of both Ou Hao and Li Qixing, asking them to come together to discuss how to resolve the matter.
Liu Mengjie walked over to Lin Fan and said gratefully, "Little Fan, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, Li Qixing would have stabbed Ou Hao, and such a tragedy would have happened, which would have been irreparable. Luckily, you intervened and stopped the tragedy from happening."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I just happened to come across this incident and intervened. I couldn't just stand by and watch Li Qixing hurt someone. If he had really stabbed Ou Hao, he likely would have faced jail time. But I still have to say, Ou Hao wants others to suffer, and if he gets stabbed, it's his own fault, not to be blamed on others. Such a troublemaker needs to be properly punished and severely so, because only in this way can we suppress this kind of campus violence."
"Okay, I understand. I know what to do now," said Liu Mengjie.
Afterward, all the students were brought back to the school.
As they reached the school gate, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over and grabbed Li Qixing.
"Qixing, are you alright? Sorry I'm late, what happened?"
This middle-aged man was Li Qixing's uncle. He had promised to pick Li Qixing up after school, but he was delayed because something came up. If he had arrived on time, the tragedy could have been avoided, but he was late, nearly leading to dire consequences, fostering such a tragedy.
After learning the details of the situation, the middle-aged uncle broke out in a cold sweat and ran over to repeatedly bow and thank Lin Fan. If it weren't for Lin Fan, Li Qixing might have ended up in jail.
The uncle quickly notified Li Qixing's parents. Li Qing's parents soon came over and, like the uncle, inquired about what happened. After finding out the details, they, too, repeatedly thanked Lin Fan.
Ou Hao's father, however, took a long time before he came.
This was a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket and a large gold chain. As he walked in, he was smoking a cigar, adopting an air of bravado.
This situation attracted a lot of onlookers. When they saw Ou Hao's father like this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads in disapproval. With such a father, it's no wonder that someone like Ou Hao would turn out to be such a nasty bully.
