Three days after Chi Jian was publicly reported and disciplined, an anonymous post appeared on Q University’s campus forum—
“Exposed! A Count of All the Evil Deeds Chi Shuyuan Has Done Over the Years!”
1F (Original Poster): Recently, the dirtiest director of Q University’s Academic Affairs Office finally went down—escorted by the police, good riddance! A celebration for all! But do you think that’s the end of it? No—too naïve! The famous mystery novelist Lou Shisan once said: “Crimes often occur in collusion; greater crimes require organized cooperation.”
Chi Jian was investigated because he was guilty but does that mean those not investigated are innocent?
I can’t speak for others, but Chi Shuyuan definitely isn’t!
Someone who framed her deskmate back in elementary school, who led a group to strip the class beauty in middle school, can you really expect her to suddenly awaken her conscience in college and repent?
The cruelty of youth is far worse than we imagine.
So now, let me, the once victim, a pitiful wretch still living in her shadow, perform a live exposé for everyone!
The poster went on for thousands of words, describing in vivid detail how she had been bullied by dormmate Chi Shuyuan during freshman year—
From pouring water on her bed, deliberately spilling things, breaking her computer; to dragging her into the restroom and forcing her head into the toilet; to finally framing her, filing anonymous reports, and teaming up with her father, Chi Jian, to pressure her into dropping out.
2F (OP again): The fear, the helplessness, when I look back now, I still can’t face it, let alone forgive. I’ve seen psychologists; I’m much better than I was right after I withdrew, but I still have mild depression.
I entered Q University full of hope, and left it in despair.
For a long time I wondered if I had done something wrong to deserve such torment.
But later I understood, some people are beautiful on the outside, but hideous inside.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t good enough.
It was that she was too evil!
Today, I finally have the courage to tell everything. I’m free now.
And those of you who were also hurt by Chi Shuyuan, are you free?
The final line struck straight to the soul.
3F: [The post is long; every word drips blood and tears. I just want to hug the OP.]
4F: [Suddenly I feel so sad. Everyone is someone’s precious child, yet outside they get bullied like this.]
5F: [Chi Shuyuan? Oh, that infamous connections baby in the College of Literature, sophomore year.]
6F: [After over ten years of hard study, I thought I was stepping into a bright future at Q University only to find it was a pit of despair.]
7F: [Ironic, isn’t it? Ordinary people study for years to reach Q U, but some just need a dad who’s a director and a mom who’s a professor, and they surpass you effortlessly.]
…
12F: [Rumor has it Chi Shuyuan got in through the “foreign student bonus” independent admissions route—no entrance exam, no written test, ranked first in interview. Think about how much of that was rigged!]
13F: [No wonder! Someone who couldn’t even answer the next line to “When will the bright moon appear” got into the College of Literature? This nepotistic society is f***ed up!]
14F: [And she wins scholarships every year! Skips classes all semester but aces every final? My jaw dropped back then!]
…
32F: [Whenever I saw her, I’d take another path. Can’t afford to offend, better avoid.]
33F: [A dormmate once got confessed to by Chi Shuyuan’s crush, next day she was drenched in filth.]
…
92F: [Heard this thread’s hot, so here’s one from her elementary school classmate! She once led a bunch of girls to cut off another girl’s long hair just because the teacher had complimented it as shiny and beautiful.]
93F: [What kind of h*llish story is this? My scalp’s tingling.]
…
211F: [I’m a victim too. Before this post, I never had the courage to tell anyone, Chi Shuyuan once had three thugs assault me. I thought about calling the police, but my parents took her family’s hush money and stopped me. For three years, I’ve woken up from nightmares every night. Never slept well once. Today, I’m finally free.]
212F: [I’m also a victim. Five years ago, when I was in high school, she and I were in different classes but same school…]
Victims kept stepping forward, and informants added fuel; Chi Shuyuan’s crimes were laid bare one after another, cruel and shocking beyond belief.
345F: [This is criminal!]
…
Chi Shuyuan began noticing the strange looks from those around her—
Suspicious at first, then fearful, then outright avoidance.
She became like a plague—wherever she went, people scattered.
“Look! That’s Chi Shuyuan!”
“How can someone so vicious walk among us? What if she suddenly snaps and starts killing?”
“Honestly, wouldn’t be surprising—she’s hurt enough people already; she’s a pro at it.”
“Get out of here! People like her don’t deserve to be at Q University!”
“Yeah! Get out of school—”
“Get out of school—”
Soon, the crowd grew larger, and the shouts louder.
Chi Shuyuan was trapped in the middle, drowned by waves of curses and condemnation. The sins she thought buried resurfaced in full daylight.
She was stunned.
How did they know?!
Hadn’t she paid to cover all this up long ago?
Those childhood incidents—she could barely even remember them herself.
“What are you doing?! Move—” she tried to break through the mob, but someone shoved her, then countless hands stopped her.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
The words had barely fallen when a plastic water bottle flew from the crowd and struck her squarely in the face.
That act was the trigger. Once flipped, the situation spun out of control.
The spot happened to be near the cafeteria—most people had just come out with their meals, and then—
Rice balls, vegetables, all started flying toward Chi Shuyuan.
Why no meat, you ask?
Oh, because meat’s expensive—they still wanted to eat later!
Lunchboxes, too—those couldn’t be wasted.
That way, no one got hurt, but the humiliation was total.
Truly worthy of Q University students, even their “stoning” was refined.
“Ah—what are you doing?! Are you crazy?!” Chi Shuyuan screamed, covering her head as she fled.
Before long, campus security arrived; the crowd scattered, and Chi Shuyuan was left a complete mess.
…
That evening, back on the forum, same anonymous post—
1267F: [Breaking! Chi Shuyuan has been taken away by the police for investigation! 📷📷]
1268F: [No way! For real?!]
1269F: [Heard it was a joint report by several victims.]
…
1711F: [All I can say, heaven’s justice never fails. No one escapes retribution.]
1712F: [May everyone she’s ever hurt find peace and live brilliantly again.]
The next day, before the notice about Chi Jian was even taken down, a new one went up—
“Notice on the Incident and Disciplinary Action Concerning Chi Shuyuan, a Sophomore Student in the College of Literature, Q University.”
The content summarized the findings by police and university: gambling, bullying, fraud, and more.
Then came the disciplinary decision—
The university decided to expel Chi Shuyuan outright, not only because she was involved in multiple criminal cases, but also because her admission process had been full of irregularities—blatant manipulation that anyone could see through.
The notice ended with a formal apology from the school for its negligence and indulgence, and a promise to fully cooperate with police to restore peace to campus.
…
That night—
Ji Xinxin walked out of the police station. The night wind brushed her face, strangely cold.
In her ears still echoed the officer’s words: “Given the severity and wide impact, higher-ups have ordered—no bail for either of them. You can go.”
Her husband and daughter arrested one after another, even someone as strong as her could no longer bear it.
She drove aimlessly, until, as if under a spell, she stopped before the Han family villa.
“She’s here again?” Han Ke frowned after hearing from the servant, casting a sidelong glance.
Han Shen: “What’s with that look? Just say it.”
Han Ke cleared his throat. “You sure you didn’t ask her to come?”
“I’m not crazy.”
Han Heng suddenly interjected, “Then why did she come?”
Good question.
Very soon, the three brothers would know the answer.
Han Heng took a screenshot of the announcement and sent it directly to the family group chat.
A few minutes later—
Han Ke clicked his tongue lightly. “Are college students these days really so ruthless and devoid of humanity?”
Han Heng immediately jumped in, “That’s just an isolated case. My Yueyue isn’t like that!”
“Right,” Han Shen nodded in agreement.
“So,” Han Heng asked, “what do we do about the one outside?”
Han Shen said flatly, “Ignore her.”
That night, Ji Xinxin’s car stayed parked outside the Han family villa until dawn. Not even a servant came out to greet her, let alone any of the villa’s owners.
The last shred of hope she’d been clinging to was ground down to nothing. In the end, she drove off in fury.
She stopped outside a residential complex, parked, and went upstairs.
The housekeeper, surprised to see her this late, said, “Professor Ji?”
“Where is she?”
“She’s watching TV. Slept too much during the day, so she’s wide awake now. Please, come in first…”
Inside the apartment—
A frail, bony woman sat in a wheelchair, her back to the door, watching television. Her spine was curved and bent, her figure nothing like the graceful one of her younger days.
Ji Xinxin walked over and called softly, “Mom.”
The woman didn’t respond, eyes vacant, fixed on the screen.
Half a year ago, Ji Lanyue had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Her mental state fluctuated, sometimes lucid, sometimes completely lost.
When she was confused, she recognized no one. When she was calm, she was like now—quiet, unmoving, barely even rolling her eyes.
Ji Xinxin opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words. Even if she spoke, Ji Lanyue wouldn’t respond.
A wave of helplessness washed over her. She turned toward the guest room.
“Zhang Ma, I’ll rest for a bit. I’ll leave in the morning.”
“Alright. Should I change the bedding for you?”
“No need.”
She walked away, body heavy with exhaustion.
Suddenly—
“Xinxin…” a faint murmur escaped the woman’s lips.
Ji Xinxin whipped around and hurried back. “Mom? You recognize me?”
“Have you finished your homework?” The woman’s wrinkled hand brushed her daughter’s face. “You didn’t do well last time. You mustn’t slack off again, understand? Your father likes smart children. If you don’t get first place, both of us will be disliked…”
“Mom! Look at me! I’ve already graduated, I don’t have homework anymore! And he doesn’t care about us, he doesn’t even know I exist! After all these years, what are you still clinging to? A man like that isn’t worthy! He doesn’t deserve it!”
Smack!
A loud slap landed across her face.
The woman’s expression twisted. “How can you talk like that? He’s your father!”
“But he doesn’t acknowledge me or you! Throwing yourself at him, don’t you see how pathetic that is?!”
The woman’s eyes went blank, clouded with confusion.
Then, suddenly, a soft smile spread across her lips. Her tone turned gentle. “Qishan, you’re here? You finally came to see me. I’m so happy…”
“I know, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have tricked you into drinking. I shouldn’t have pretended to be Shi Qingzhi when you weren’t sober… It’s alright if you hate me. But look at Xinxin, she’s so clever, always gets perfect scores, just like you…”
These were the same words Ji Lanyue repeated every time she relapsed.
In the past, Ji Xinxin would either ignore her or play along. But tonight, she suddenly didn’t want to anymore.
“Mom, he doesn’t like your smart child, he likes Han Yunru’s smart child.”
“The Han family never intended to accept us.”
“Even if you die, he won’t come to see you.”
“If you hadn’t been a mistress, wouldn’t I have been born into a normal, happy family? Grown up healthy and free?”
“Why did you have to go after Han Qishan? Why secretly give birth to me? Did you think you could turn from a sparrow into a phoenix? Even if their nest were empty, they’d never let you live in it! You’re still just a sparrow.”
“Ah—shut up!” The woman clutched her head and screamed.
A cruel smile tugged at Ji Xinxin’s lips. She enunciated each word clearly: “You. Deserve. It! Hahaha…” And so do I.
Smack! Smack!
Two more slaps. The woman grabbed her daughter’s hair.
“Zhang Ma—” Ji Xinxin stepped back, expression blank, calling out for the housekeeper. Her face was red and swollen, but she seemed not to feel it. “I’m leaving. Put her to bed.”
“Alright!”
Before leaving, Ji Xinxin took a deep breath and forced herself to pull it together.
The most urgent task now was to find a competent lawyer for her husband and daughter.
Unfortunately, before she could, something happened to her, too.
The day after Chi Shuyuan was taken by the police, another announcement appeared—
“Notice Regarding Professor Ji Xinxin of the Q University School of Physics and Her Academic Misconduct and Corresponding Disciplinary Measures.”
Recently, the university received reports that Professor Ji Xinxin of the School of Physics engaged in severe academic misconduct, including plagiarism, data fabrication, and falsification of experimental results.
The university launched an immediate investigation by a panel of experts and found that Ji Xinxin’s published papers contained a duplication rate as high as 20%!
List of plagiarized papers as follows…
Her actions had a profoundly negative impact, damaging the university’s reputation and academic integrity. The university decided to terminate Ji Xinxin’s employment and reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility.
That evening, police detained her at the university gate.
“Huh? People go to the station for academic misconduct now?”
“Well, Professor Ji’s career is over for sure.”
Once a researcher is branded with “academic misconduct,” their career is effectively dead.
“As the saying goes—birds of a feather flock together. This family of three is rotten to the core!”
“The father abused his power for personal gain, the mother faked her research, the daughter did every evil deed imaginable—this is a real-life ‘tears-behind-bars’ intellectual family!”
“Well done, Q University! Only by rooting out these parasites can the school find peace again.”
“Honestly, I’m impressed by how fast the university acted this time.”
“…”
In truth, Ji Xinxin wasn’t detained for academic misconduct—
—but because, during the interrogation of her husband and daughter, the police discovered that behind Chi Jian’s corruption and Chi Shuyuan’s cruelty stood Ji Xinxin’s silent support and indulgence.
She was directly linked to two bribery cases exceeding a million yuan and one molestation case.
So, no choice but to “invite her in for tea.”
Especially the bribery charges, since the amounts were enormous and the couple allegedly accepted the money together, sentencing could start at five years minimum, possibly more.
At the police station—
Chi Shuyuan exclaimed, “Mom? You came?!” Her eyes lit up with hope.
“You’re here to stay with me and Dad?”
Ji Xinxin: “…” If she had a choice, she’d rather not!
….
Meanwhile, at Q University’s president’s office—
“Old Xu, are you satisfied now?”
Xu Kaiqing gave a cold laugh, his elderly eyes calm. “Satisfied? You make it sound like I gained something from this!”
The president fell silent. …Didn’t he, though?
“Old Zhou,” Xu Kaiqing said sharply, “get this straight, we’re cleansing Q University of a cancer, not doing me a favor.”
“But you were the one who pushed for the investigation.”
“So you think we shouldn’t have looked into it?”
The president paused. “…I didn’t say that.”
“One more thing,” Xu Kaiqing continued. “Tomorrow morning, you’re coming with me somewhere.”
“Where?”
Xu Kaiqing spoke slowly and clearly: “You’re going to personally apologize to Jiang Fuyue.”
The president’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You… what did you say?!”
“I said you’ll go apologize to Jiang Fuyue in person! Then invite her back and restore her access to the lab. Do you need me to repeat that? I don’t think your hearing’s that bad yet.”
President Zhou fumed inwardly—This isn’t about my ears! It’s about dignity!
He, the president of Q University, bowing his head to a junior?
“Old Xu, you can’t be serious!”
“Why not? When you make a mistake, you apologize. Isn’t that the most basic decency of a human being?”
The president: “…” No comment.
“Are you going or not? Decide now.” Xu Kaiqing’s tone hardened.
“…I’ll go!” The president ground out through clenched teeth.
He was right—when you’re wrong, you should apologize.
But for someone like President Zhou, long accustomed to looking down from above, lowering his head was truly difficult.
Still, the next morning, he obediently accompanied Xu Kaiqing to the Han residence.
The Han brothers were a bit surprised by their arrival, but only that. No one was flustered or deferential.
A servant brought tea and placed it before them.
Han Shen said politely, “Sorry, Yueyue went out for a run. Please wait a moment.”
Xu Kaiqing smiled. “No problem at all!”
President Zhou’s face darkened. So Old Xu only roars at me? With others he’s all smiles!
Han Ke came downstairs, nodded slightly in greeting, then calmly went to the dining room to eat breakfast.
Han Heng was even more casual, yawning and waving lazily. “Hey, you two are up early.”
The brothers’ casual attitude showed no trace of intimidation by their guests’ status—perhaps this was the confidence of true capitalists.
Xu Kaiqing didn’t mind, but President Zhou was uncomfortable.
When he’d discussed a building donation with Han Shen earlier, Han had spoken courteously. Now, he was cool and distant.
And yes, it was deliberate.
When President Zhou had chosen to “minimize the issue” and protect Chi Jian instead of holding him accountable, Han Shen had quietly taken note.
No matter how prestigious the university president was—no one could bully their Yueyue.
By contrast, Xu Kaiqing was much better received.
Han Shen even personally placed a cup before him.
“Yueyue mentioned you like green tea. This is this year’s Biluochun—quite fragrant.”
Xu Kaiqing’s eyes lit up. She remembered what tea he liked?! He was genuinely moved.
President Zhou’s hand froze mid-sip. Suddenly, his own tea didn’t taste as good.
“Ahem.” Xu Kaiqing straightened up and said solemnly, “She’s thoughtful.”
Han Shen smiled. “She often talks about you, but we’ve never quite known how you two met.”
Han Ke and Han Heng both looked over.
President Zhou also subtly pricked up his ears.
Xu Kaiqing said calmly, “We’ve been friends for a long time.”
He actually used the word friends, a term reserved for equals.
Everyone was silently astonished.
