Chapter 16 The Truth Comes Out
I slept for a whole week before gradually waking up.
Multiple fractures, severe concussion, and countless external injuries.
"You're awake. That's wonderful."
The nurse smiled at me.
"Xiaoning." Then came my mother's excited voice. She cried, "Those bad people have all been arrested. It's Mom's fault for not taking good care of you."
After that, school leaders, Mr. Xu, and several classmates came to visit me with flowers and fruit baskets.
They encouraged me to recover soon and return to campus.
In the afternoon, a police officer arrived.
"Zhou Xiaoning, I'm Liu Yang from the Lanhua District Public Security Bureau.
Don't be afraid. Liu Tian, Lin Yuanyuan, Jiang Xiaohui, Zhang Xin, and Qi Yu who assaulted you have all been detained.
Can you tell us how they assaulted you? Who was the mastermind?
And who pushed you down the stairs? Do you remember? "
"How they assaulted me..." I recalled.
"Liu Tian called me to the rooftop. They held me so I couldn't leave, took off my clothes, kicked me. The one who pushed me down the stairs was Zhang Xin."
Officer Liu nodded. "What you described matches what we got from questioning them.
They are all over sixteen years old and will bear criminal responsibility.
As for your Disciplinary Action, the ringleader Liu Tian, in order to get leniency, voluntarily confessed that Lin Yuanyuan deliberately framed you.
She witnessed it herself. We will inform the school and have your Disciplinary Action revoked. "
Before leaving, Officer Liu gently patted my shoulder encouragingly. "I heard you have excellent grades. Recover well, return to school, get into a good university. University life will be wonderful."
"Thank you. I will definitely get into university."
Only later did I learn that the video of my humiliation had been posted online, causing quite a stir. Under intense public discussion, the school faced enormous pressure.
The school quickly revoked my Disciplinary Action and instead punished Lin Yuanyuan.
