Chapter 318: Endurance Won’t Solve the Problem

Fan Li’s consciousness felt as if it were wrapped in a milky white plastic bag, where she couldn’t hear the outside world, only an old man’s voice speaking to her. She could only follow this voice, struggling and resisting, trying to wake up from this state that was neither fully asleep nor awake.

Suddenly, as if a small hole had formed in the “plastic bag,” Fan Li saw the lewd smile of an old man. She screamed long and loud until she fully awoke to find herself unable to move her limbs; she was tied to the bed.

The old man leaned over her, smiling with a lecherous expression as if saliva were about to drip from the corners of his mouth. Fan Li trembled with fear, her first thought being that this must be another prank by Han Jingming.

This time… this time it’s gone too far!

The old man reached out and began to unbutton her shirt. Feeling a chill on her chest, Fan Li panicked and screamed desperately for help, “Help… Help…”

It was then that she noticed the loud television in the room, which completely drowned out her cries… She was puzzled, wondering why she hadn’t noticed the sound of the TV before.

Ji Changxin put a finger to his lips, signaling for silence. “If you keep making noise, I’ll stuff your mouth.”

Fan Li, with tears streaming down, shivered and said, “What… what do you want to do with me… I don’t have anything on me…”

Little fool, don’t you know that you yourself are a treasure in the eyes of others?

Ji Changxin’s hand slipped under Fan Li’s clothes, caressing her flat and smooth stomach. It felt so good that his heart raced wildly, as he hadn’t touched a woman in a long time.

“Sir… Sir…” Fan Li trembled like a drenched chick, “Please let me go, okay? I beg you… you can take my phone, my wallet, anything… please let me go!”

“Fan Li, what did you see at the subway station?” After asking this question, Ji Changxin slightly regretted it. He shouldn’t have called her by her name. She was just a victim he abducted, to be raped and then killed directly. He shouldn’t treat her as a person.

Speaking of rape and murder, he wavered inside, could he really do such a thing?

Fan Li said, “I… I just saw a classmate!”

“Lying!” Ji Changxin’s face was stern, “Children who lie are to be punished.”

He started to unfasten her bra. Fan Li struggled and twisted wildly. At this moment, Fan Li’s phone rang, buzzing incessantly, which annoyed Ji Changxin. Do these young girls have to set their phone alerts to be so loud?

Ji Changxin left Fan Li for a moment and took out her phone from her bag. There was a WeChat group chat going on lively, with a student named Han Jingming speaking: “Wow, you guys have no idea what I just saw at the subway station, a man fell onto the tracks, two other men tried to save him, and all three were hit and killed by a train. Wow, the scene is all bloody, it’s so terrifying!”

This was a class group, with many people below saying, “Show us the photos”, “No photo, no truth!”

Han Jingming posted several photos, which were indeed taken at the scene.

Fan Li shivered and said, “Sir, did Han Jingming send you to mess with me?”

“I don’t know any Han Jingming.”

“She… she often bullies me at school… that’s why I ran away when I saw her.”

So that’s it, a big misunderstanding?!

But the person has already been tied up and touched, if he lets her go now, wouldn’t he be in trouble?

There were also WeChat chat records between Han Jingming and Fan Li, sent at five in the afternoon, saying, “I’ve added music to your video, you’re welcome.” Below was a video, and when opened, it showed Fan Li kneeling in what seemed to be a women’s restroom, with a stream of water constantly pouring over her, and people laughing next to her. The whole video was set to a cheesy pop tune with a strong electronic beat, lasting about five minutes.

Ji Changxin was a bit shocked, could junior high school girls really do such things?

He continued to scroll up, and one by one, the chat records came into view, “Stinky bitch, I’ve taken photos, look at your cheap appearance!”, “What do you mean? You avoid me, believe it or not, I’ll mess with you tomorrow?”, “Did you tell the teacher about that, I’ll tear your B mouth”, “If you dare to tell about today’s thing, I’ll throw you off the rooftop.”

It was clear that this girl named Han Jingming had been bullying Ji Changxin for a long time.

“Don’t look, don’t look!” Fan Li didn’t want her embarrassing things exposed in front of a stranger, she cried and said, “Sir, don’t look at my phone anymore, you can hit me, scold me, but don’t look at my phone, please!”

Ji Changxin knew that his daughter had also been bullied at school, which happened after he divorced his wife. The reason was his “reputation” that gradually isolated and bullied his daughter at school.

But at that time, he was too preoccupied to do anything for his daughter, which was also one of the reasons why his daughter hated him.

No matter if I’m a molester or a sex maniac, you shouldn’t touch my family! He wanted to shout at the whole world countless times, but the world is unreasonable, the strong bullying the weak is its law, an old man molested a girl on the bus, so anyone can step on him and bully his family at will.

He looked at the girl lying on the bed, his own daughter was about the same age as her, and suddenly a strong sadness surged in Ji Changxin’s heart. He actually sat on the edge of the bed and burst into tears.

Crying, someone handed him a tissue. Ji Changxin thanked them and took it, wiping his eyes, suddenly stunned, and turned to look at Fan Li.

The rope was tied too loosely, and she had already freed herself. Fan Li sat on the bed, looking at Ji Changxin.

She was no longer so afraid of him. After all, Ji Changxin didn’t look fierce, and she said, “Sir, you look a bit like my dad.”

“Is… is that so? What does your dad do…”

“White-collar, he committed suicide when I was ten, and people around said he was a corrupt official.”

“So that’s why people bully you at school?”

Fan Li nodded silently, “At first, everyone just alienated me and made fun of me, then a few girls started to tease me, and after finding out I didn’t dare to fight back, they… did a lot of excessive things to me… But I’m already in the ninth grade, and I will graduate soon!” Fan Li tried to force a smile but failed, “As long as I endure another 62 days, I won’t have to be afraid of them anymore!”

“Silly child, endurance will only make things worse.”

“What else can I do, I can’t beat them, and I dare not tell the teacher, what else can I do besides endure.”

Ji Changxin looked at her, like looking at his own daughter, he had an impulse to do something for her, so he said, “Do you know how those three people who were hit and killed at the subway station today died?”

“Sir, are you kidding me? You said they were hit and killed…”

“Do you think it was suicide or murder?”

“Suicide… I heard people say that the man wanted to die and killed the other two.”

Ji Changxin grinned, “Do you want the people who bully you to commit suicide too?”
