Chapter 44: Li Ruixiang's Retribution
Zhang Xiaoxin's words were like five thunderbolts, exploding hard in my head.
Expel?
My eyes widened and I muttered, "I...... How could I be expelled? The culprit this time is obviously Li Ruixiang, why was I expelled?"
"Legally, Li Ruixiang is at fault, but in terms of school rules, you are also at fault...... Zhang Xiaoxin said wiping her tears, "You skip class and go out to negotiate with young people, this matter is unacceptable to the school, saying that you have something to tell the school, instead of solving it privately." The expulsion decision was made this morning, and Teacher Li called my mother to say it, and she also cried so much that she couldn't bear you as a student. ”
The sadness came over me and I couldn't accept it at all.
Why......
It's all my own fault, why don't I wait for my day off to do it......
I...... was expelled.
What are those efforts before that!?
"Zhang Xiang, don't think about it so much, as long as people can be safe......" Li Meili came over and hugged my head, she comforted and said, "When you are well, it's up to you to repeat your studies or go out to work, your Uncle Zhang has good connections here, and he should be able to help you find a new school." ”
I didn't say a word like a fool, only Cai Jingyi sighed and said softly: "Auntie, you go to a lawyer to file a lawsuit first." I also called some friends, uploaded Zhang Xiang's video to the Internet, and then spent some money to ask local WeChat public accounts and Weibo influencers to promote it. As long as the city leaders can know, then Li Ruixiang will be even more troublesome. ”
Li Meili wiped her tears and hummed, and pulled Zhang Xiaoxin out of the ward. After they left, Cai Jingyi sat on the edge of my bed and said softly: "If you want to cry, cry, there is no shame in crying at this time." ”
"Don't cry......," I looked up, trying to squeeze out a smile, "didn't you say that there are always a few people standing on our shoulders, and if they all fall, they won't be able to hold on." I want to be like you, so I can't cry. ”
Cai Jingyi looked at me for a few seconds, and finally she sighed and said softly: "If my finger is broken, then I will cry, after all, I am also a girl." ”
In this tense atmosphere, I was amused by Cai Jingyi's words.
In the evening, the police came to me to take a statement. I leaned back on the hospital bed and told them as planned. After all, the evidence is in our hands, as long as I don't show my stuff, then everything can be passed.
After the police recorded the confession, they told me to take care of myself and left. They also told me that Li Ruixiang had come out at a great cost, but his personal freedom had been restricted, and it was likely that he was ready to give an account before he went to prison. He also said that Li Ruixiang was very devastated when he learned that I refused to ask for compensation and insisted on initiating a criminal lawsuit.
I thought about Li Ruixiang's collapsed appearance, and my mood finally improved.
It's not you who ruined my future, it's that I ruined everything you do.
Cai Jingyi stayed with me in the ward all day, and when it was late that night, I urged her to go back, but she refused to leave, and said what if I needed someone to take care of me.
I said that Li Meili and they would take care of me, but Cai Jingyi was still unwilling, saying that Li Meili was old, and it was better to have a young person take care of her.
However, I don't need Cai Jingyi to take care of me. I can drink water and eat by myself, and I can also go to the toilet by myself, and I don't need Cai Jingyi's help at all. Since she wants to accompany her, I can't help it.
When I woke up the next day, Cai Jingyi was sitting on the side with her mobile phone. She shook her phone at me and whispered: "Weibo experts don't dare to take orders, but there are a few service public accounts in the city that take orders." Now there are a few friends in the circle of friends who have videos about you, and Li Ruixiang is going to be finished this time. As soon as there is pressure from public opinion, the law will produce heavy sentences under pressure. ”
I nodded with satisfaction, and my efforts were not in vain.
In the afternoon, the doctor came to check on me again, and after making sure I was fine, he told me that I could be discharged.
Cai Jingyi stretched her waist and said that she would go back to rest, let me call her if I have something, and stop doing such a thing as blackmailing. I also told her to ask her to reply to my messages in the future anyway, otherwise she would jump off the building again to show her.
It made both of us laugh and made me feel less sore.
After I was discharged from the hospital, I was taken home by Li Meili in a car. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Uncle Zhang walking back and forth on the phone with his mobile phone. It's only been a while, and he seems to be much older. When he saw me coming back, Uncle Zhang immediately put down his phone and walked towards me with a smile.
When he walked up to me, Uncle Zhang patted me on the shoulder and smiled at me, "Zhang Xiang, I heard that you have more scars from men?"
He was obviously smiling, but there was some sadness in his eyes. I raised my hand and shook it, and said helplessly: "Obviously, if I go to play games now, my hand speed will definitely be much slower than others, so I have to focus my life on hard work." ”
Uncle Zhang patted me on the head and said lovingly and uncomfortably: "You deserve it, let you do what you want, but you poked such a big hole out." By the way, you don't have to appear in court then, I have already negotiated with the lawyer, let you refuse to appear in court at that time, and we will sue the brute on your behalf. The lawyer's explanation is that you were beaten so frightened that you didn't dare to see Li Ruixiang, and anyway, they would portray you as miserable. Prove that I will help you prescribe it, it just so happens that I have a comrade-in-arms who is a psychiatrist, and his unit proves that it is allowed by the court, and he will take care of everything. ”
I hummed vigorously, and Uncle Zhang then took a deep breath and finally sighed, "Okay, did the doctor let you recuperate?"
I thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so." ”
"Then get out and play...... Uncle Zhang took out a handful of money from his pocket and gave it to me, and then said with a wave of his hand, "I have something to say to your Aunt Li." ”
I took the money and walked out of the house obediently, and Zhang Xiaoxin hurriedly ran out with me. She scratched the back of her head and said suspiciously, "My dad is so strange, you just got out of the hospital, why don't you stay at home." ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I guess I don't want to make me feel gloomy, but I'm not in that bad mood right now." Let's go, let's go play video games...... Forget it, I can't play, let's go to the movies. ”
"You can go wherever you want...... Zhang Xiaoxin worried, "It's your fingers, there won't be a problem, right?"
I shook my head and smiled, "No, it's so tightly wrapped, just don't touch it." ”
Zhang Xiaoxin saw that I didn't break it when I said this, so she went to the private theater with me. I ordered a comedy to watch and wanted to make myself feel better. Halfway through it, Zhang Xiaoxin suddenly grabbed my left wrist.
She looked at my wound and said softly, "Zhang Xiang, I have a much better opinion of you. Obviously, you weren't like this before, but after meeting Jingyi, your whole person has changed. But I think you're moving for the better, but you're a little weird in your heart. ”
I withdrew my hand, shook my head and said, "I'm watching a movie, don't talk." ”
Zhang Xiaoxin sighed, and I watched another one after watching the movie, and when I was hungry, I ordered some light porridge to eat, and I spent it outside until I went home at night.
By the time I got home, Uncle Zhang had already talked about the matter, and told me to boil some porridge and tell me to drink it quickly.
After I drank the porridge, I went back to my room, where I still had my books and practice papers, and I just looked at it and thought it was ironic.
For half a month, I rested at home. The only time I went out was to go to the hospital to change the dressing, and after half a month, the gauze on my hand was finally removed and replaced with a ring finger and middle finger that were shorter than before. But I'm in a good mood because it's not as scary as I thought.
What surprised me the most was the lawsuit against Li Ruixiang. In just twenty days, the verdict has already come down. I knew the criminal proceedings would be fast, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, maybe it had something to do with the video uploaded online.
Li Ruixiang's attitude was to admit guilt sincerely, and he implored the court to give him a lenient punishment as appropriate. His lawyer had only one attitude from beginning to end, after all, all the evidence was unfavorable to Li Ruixiang. At this time, the only thing that can be done is to plead for leniency.
In the end, Li Ruixiang was sentenced to four years without probation. And the people who beat me with him were also sentenced to a greater or lesser extent. But because Li Ruixiang was the mastermind of the incident, and he kicked me downstairs, Li Ruixiang's sentence was the heaviest. And Li Ruixiang also pleaded guilty in court and would not appeal.
When I learned of this verdict, my heart was undoubtedly happy, as if I had a bad breath of air.
Li Ruixiang's verdict ended, and Zhang Xiaoxin also happened to finish the college entrance examination. The family was in a good mood, Li Meili made a big meal for us to eat, and took the initiative to drink, probably hoping to make me forget the pain of not being able to take the college entrance examination.
When I was done, I went back to my room and thought about what I was going to do next. And just then, my phone rang suddenly.
I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that it was a text message from Zhou Lan: "Zhang Xiang, I'm downstairs with you, can I come out and talk?"
