Chapter 1919: A Vile Incident
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“They said if I told the teacher, they would keep hitting me, so I didn’t dare,” Sun Peipei cried.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, “Did you tell your parents at home?”
Sun Peipei shook her head and wiped her tears, “They also told me not to tell my family.”
“How long have they been bullying you?”
“Since the second semester of the first year in junior high.”
Lin Yi calculated the time. It should be the second semester of the third year now. In other words, this had been going on for almost two years.
Lin Yi turned to look at Sun Peipei’s parents.
“Your child has been going through this for so long, and you didn’t notice?”
“We’re both busy with work, leaving early and coming home late every day. By the time we get home, it’s almost bedtime, so we didn’t notice.”
Han Guizhi said, crying with guilt.
“But last semester, my husband had appendicitis surgery and took some time off. One day, I took her to bathe and saw the injuries on her body. When I asked, she said she was being bullied by her classmates.”
Sun Fu, sitting nearby, sighed deeply, feeling a heavy weight in his heart. He pounded the windowsill in frustration.
Han Guizhi continued, “After that, we went to the school and talked to the teacher. They called the parents of those kids, who paid us 1,000 yuan and promised it wouldn’t happen again. But things only got worse—they made my daughter jump from the second floor.”
Sun Peipei cried even louder, “Because my mom went to the school, they bullied me every day after that. They cut my clothes with scissors, pulled my hair, and made me kneel to them.”
“Why didn’t you choose to call the police at that time?” Lin Yi asked.
“My daughter’s grades are excellent. She’s always the top in her grade. Many of her classmates come from well-off families. The teacher advised us against calling the police, saying those kids’ families are powerful and influential. They said if we called the police, we wouldn’t get a penny and it wouldn’t do any good.”
“They are afraid of damaging the school’s reputation.” Gu Yiran said.
Lin Yi nodded. It was obvious that this was the reason.
At this moment, a woman in her thirties in a white coat walked in.
“Doctor Wang, you’re here.”
The woman’s name was Wang Li, and she was Sun Peipei’s attending doctor.
Wang Li nodded. “I heard from my colleagues that the police are here, so I came over to see if there was anything I could help with.”
“Is the report on her injuries out yet? Can you show it to me?”
“The more serious injury is to her left ankle, with extensive bruising that requires rest. Her right lower leg has a minor fracture, which isn’t severe but still needs a few months of recovery. These are the most important injuries,”
Dr. Wang Li said, looking at Sun Peipei with eyes full of concern. “As for the other injuries, you’ve seen them yourselves. In some private areas, we found needle marks during our examination. These kids today are truly heartless.”
“Damn it!”
Gu Yiran couldn’t hold back, kicking the bedpost and cursing.
“Thank you, doctor.”
“It’s my duty. If you need any assistance or documents, come to the hospital. We can provide reports and paperwork.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yi then looked at Sun Peipei.
“Tell me the names of those who bullied you.”
“Zhang Yuhan, Li Yanfeng, Ma Botao, Zhou Zihang…”
Sun Peipei listed over ten names in a row.
What shocked the three officers was that only four of them were boys while the remaining eight were all girls.
It was hard to fathom that so many girls were involved in such a cruel incident.
After gathering this basic information, Lin Yi turned to Sun Fu and Han Guizhi.
“You stay here and take care of your daughter. We will handle the rest.”
“Officer, please ensure this is dealt with fairly. This bullying is too much.”
Lin Yi patted Sun Fu’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry. I promise you, with my police uniform, that we will make sure they pay for this.”
“Thank you so much. Without you, we wouldn’t know what to do.”
“Rest assured, justice will be served,” Lin Yi assured Sun Fu.
“But there’s one crucial thing I need you to do.”
“Of course, please tell us,” Sun Fu nodded repeatedly.
“If you truly want justice for your daughter, no matter who comes to you or what offers they make, do not agree to any private settlements.”
Lin Yi was well aware of how these situations typically played out.
If the family was convinced to settle privately, there would be nothing he could do to pursue the case further.
“You have to first help yourself if you want others to help you.
Otherwise, no one can assist you.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t agree to any private settlements. We need to seek justice for our daughter!”
“Good, that’s what we wanted to hear.” Lin Yi handed them a piece of paper with his phone number on it. “This is my number. Call me if you need anything. We’ll handle the rest. We need to go now.”
“I’ll see you off.”
“No, thanks.”
The three of them walked out of the ward, and Lin Yi called Wang Li out.
“Your hospital should have a psychiatrist, right? Arrange for more treatment when it comes to this.”
“It’s already on the agenda. Don’t worry about that.”
“Since everything has been arranged, we won’t say anything else. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Okay.”
The three of them walked out of the hospital and returned to the car.
Lin Yi was in charge of driving towards Zhonghai Yucai High School.
When they arrived at the school, the school gate was locked. The security guard looked over and saw that the person was a police officer. He did not dare to stop them and hurriedly opened the door.
When the three of them drove to the school building, they saw a middle-aged man in his forties and a woman in her thirties rushing out of the school building.
They welcomed Lin Yi and the other two, as if waiting for them to come over.
The man’s name was Liu Ziqiang, and he was the vice principal of Yucai High School.
The woman in her thirties was called Zhao Huilei. She was the dean of Yucai High School.
“Officer, you’re here,” Liu Ziqiang said with a smile.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them.
“You two knew we were coming?”
The two of them looked a little embarrassed, as if they were exposing themselves.
“Let me introduce myself first. I’m the vice-principal of Yucai High School, Liu Ziqiang. This is our school’s dean, Zhao Huilei.”
“I’m asking you a question. The two of you came out as soon as we arrived. Were you waiting for us?”
