A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Chapter 66: Hopefully, this won't just end up unresolved.

Attorney Li also hopes for a successful case so that clients can have confidence when they encounter similar cases in the future.

After considering it for a moment, he finally spoke.

"I once handled a case of school bullying. The girl was bullied at school for years, locked in the toilet, and then had dirty mop water poured over her head. Day after day, the girl finally suffered a mental breakdown. At that time, her homeroom teacher reminded her parents to call the police. However, this involved some rumors between the girl and a boy in the class. When the boy was collecting evidence, he said that the girl was infatuated with him and that she was clinging to him. He claimed that the girl who was bullying him was his real girlfriend. The girl's parents were ashamed and felt that she had interfered in other people's relationship and was seducing people at such a young age. So... the girl jumped off the tallest teaching building in the school. Blood splattered on the spot. I was at the scene of the crime. I will never forget that scene."

After becoming a lawyer, I've seen all kinds of people. It's just a job, but school violence is different. Every time, it starts off badly. The victim's parents are extremely angry when they find out, but once they start collecting evidence and delving deeper, most parents will give up because of face-saving concerns and the gossip of others, and they will feel overwhelmed. The victim may be willing to cooperate with the investigation at first, but they will change their story later and immediately transfer to another school.

Those who manage to reach me are naturally children valued by their families, some raised by their grandparents. They've been bullied to the point where they can no longer stay at school and have been wandering the streets. They were eventually sent back to school by the police, only to find out later that they've been bullied and isolated for years. Most cases of school violence begin with rumors and isolation.

Attorney Li's expression grew increasingly somber as she spoke.

The more he said, the more helpless he felt. After saying the last word, he let out a deep sigh.

What can make even seasoned lawyers feel helpless are actually the extreme darkness hidden beneath these seemingly bright places.

Attorney Li secretly hoped that Shao Wanwan would persevere to the end and that a just outcome would be achieved.

However, what he couldn't say was that in the current environment, Shao Wanwan would face enormous public pressure. Wherever she went, she would be talked about and pointed at. She would definitely be isolated by her classmates at school.

He couldn't even tell Shao Wanwan that she had to persevere, because sometimes letting things fizzle out is just a helpless act.

This doesn't mean the person involved wasn't brave; it just means there was a lot of helplessness involved.

Lawyer Li grew up in the countryside and was an excellent student from a young age. After studying abroad, he saw the world and wanted to return to his country to contribute to its development and repay its kindness.

He knew that the country had many backward areas, but that was precisely why he should not run away from them.

School bullying is even more prevalent in rural schools.

He was also a victim of school violence.

After considering it for a while, Attorney Li finally spoke up: "When I was a child, I grew up in the countryside with my grandmother. In order to give me a better education, my grandmother gritted her teeth and moved to the town. Then she sent me to a primary school for children of workers and military officers in the surrounding area."

I stood next to my homeroom teacher wearing cloth shoes and a clean floral shirt that my grandmother had bought for five yuan at the market.

Not only do my classmates look down on me, but even my teachers look down on me.

Back then, the boys at school liked to play pranks, like grabbing a boy, spreading his legs, and then using his private parts to bang against a tree.

Every time I saw them catching people to play this game, I would hide. But as soon as the bell rang, they would make a fuss and carry me to the playground to find a tree. I had stopped wetting the bed a long time ago, but because of how they treated me, I started wetting the bed again in fourth grade, and for a while I even had blood in my urine.

I didn't dare tell my grandma, so I told my homeroom teacher. She told me that jokes between classmates shouldn't be taken too seriously, and that the transfer student should be happy to be able to fit in so well.

But I don't understand, shouldn't happiness be something that everyone feels happy about? I don't feel happy, but it's no use telling anyone. This incident has caused me a serious psychological trauma. When I was studying abroad, I took a psychology course and then told my psychology professor about this.

She told me that I had been bullied, and that the issue had never been addressed or resolved, so it had never ended.

Because I had good grades when I was a child, my teachers didn't dare to expel me from school; they just kept the matter quiet.

There was another classmate whose family sold tofu. She was constantly verbally attacked by other students, who said she washed her hair and bathed in pig urine, and that she always smelled of pig urine, all because her family had built a pigsty and kept two piglets, which the other students found out about… Bullying of minors is even more serious, but it often ends without any real consequences.

Attorney Li's openness was not only intended to strengthen Shao Wanwan's resolve, but also to remind her that bullying has deep roots and is difficult to eradicate.

Fortunately, Shao Wanwan is already an adult, and so are the people spreading rumors; otherwise, complications could have arisen at any point.

Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan are both intelligent people and understand what Attorney Li means.

Shao Wanwan said firmly, "I want them to know that they've kicked a steel plate. I have a fiery temper, and I'll play the forward position. If the cost of ruining a girl is so low, is there no law in this world?"

Shao Wanwan's words were forceful and she appeared remarkably calm. However, Jiang Zheyuan could see that her hands were trembling slightly. She was angry and furious, but she was still forcing herself to remain calm.

Almost instinctively, Jiang Zheyuan took advantage of Lawyer Li's inattention to gently pat Shao Wanwan's hand on the back of her hand, and then Shao Wanwan almost instinctively grabbed Jiang Zheyuan's hand in return.

Jiang Zheyuan was tall with long, slender, but wide hands. His palms were very warm, and he quickly warmed up Shao Wanwan's cold hands.

The two quickly realized that what they were doing was inappropriate, so they immediately separated. Then, both of them touched the back of their heads in embarrassment and lowered their heads at the same time.

It was all a momentary impulse, and there's really no way to explain it.

Shao Wanwan's initially agitated mood was greatly soothed by Jiang Zheyuan's seemingly insignificant gesture.

She quickly calmed down.

Attorney Li was unaware that the two men were pulling strings under the table behind his back, but it was clear that neither of them would give up on seeking justice.
