Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 341 Method

Lin Yue saw all of this.

She had seen Wei Shiyu's trembling, silent sobbing figure hiding in the stairwell, and she had seen the disgusting faces of Wang Rui and the others. Any remaining goodwill she had for Ye Wenxiu, based on his looks and demeanor, had long since vanished.

A teacher who cannot stand up for students when they are harmed, no matter how handsome he is or how well he teaches, has lost the most basic qualification.

During the break between classes that day, Wei Shiyu was crying in the toilet stall again, suppressing her emotions. When she came out, she bumped into Lin Yue waiting by the sink.

Lin Yue didn't say anything, but simply handed her a tissue.

Wei Shiyu took the tissue, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. It was as if the grievances and despair of the past few days had found an outlet. She choked up and started talking about the rumors and Ye Wenxiu's attitude again.

Wang Rui had previously pursued Wei Shiyu, but she rejected him. He had brought her milk tea a few times, but she hadn't drunk it.

“I had absolutely no interest in him. He pretended to be so magnanimous at the time, saying that even if we couldn’t be lovers, we could still be friends, and that I shouldn’t be so calculating.”

Later, seeing that Wei Siyu was adamant, Wang Rui started acting crazy and demanded that she pay back the money for the milk tea.

"I was too lazy to argue with him, so I just paid the agreed amount, and even rounded it up. He took it immediately and started cursing at me, sob sob sob..."

"...Lin Yue...what should I do...I really can't take it anymore...why do they have to do this...even Teacher Ye..." She cried so hard she could barely breathe.

Lin Yue listened quietly, looking at Wei Shiyu's red, tear-filled eyes, which were filled with helplessness.

Rumors and gossip tend to affect girls more. Lin Yue often heard people calling her promiscuous and cheap behind her back, but when they talked about this new teacher, they said he was incredibly lucky with women.

After Wei Shiyu's crying subsided, Lin Yue calmly spoke: "The weaker you are, the more they think you're easy to bully. The more you care about your innocence, the more they'll try to smear you with filth." Lin Yue's tone was calm, yet it carried a strange penetrating power. "Since explaining is useless, and the teacher doesn't care, why not try a different approach?"

Wei Shiyu looked up blankly: "Change...change the way?"

“Hmm.” Lin Yue looked at her, her eyes deep. “Don’t they like to spread rumors? Don’t they make it sound so convincing? Then just admit it.”

"Admit it?!" Wei Shiyu's eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Lin Yue in disbelief, as if she had heard something utterly unbelievable. "How can this be! Wouldn't that be even more..."

"Let me finish," Lin Yue interrupted her, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "Their spreading rumors is at most a moral issue, nothing serious. But you 'admitted' it and called the police, saying you were drugged and raped, that's a completely different matter."

“This is a criminal offense, and there are ‘witnesses’.”

Wei Shiyu was stunned, her brain unable to process the shocking information for a moment.

Lin Yue took a step closer to her, lowered her voice, and said clearly, word by word, "Next time, if Wang Rui and the others spread this rumor in front of many people, just admit it. Then, immediately take out your phone and call the police. After the call connects, say that you were drugged and raped by our school's homeroom teacher, Ye Wenxiu. There are several people here who can testify to this!"

Wei Shiyu was completely stunned, her heart pounding, and her blood seemed to rush to her head.

This method... is too crazy! Too extreme! But... but...

Looking into Lin Yue's calm yet all-seeing eyes, a kind of courage she had never felt before, a mixture of fear and desperation, began to grow wildly within her.

"But...wouldn't this..." she hesitated.

"Consequences?" Lin Yue seemed to see through her thoughts. "The worst outcome is that the investigation will find that you and Ye Wenxiu are innocent. But those who spread rumors will not escape; they will be charged with defamation, and those with serious offenses can go to jail."

"As a teacher, Ye Wenxiu's previous attempt to 'settle things' in the face of such serious accusations was dereliction of duty, and he might even be suspected of having a guilty conscience. And you yourself..."

Lin Yue paused, her gaze sharp: "When you can shatter your own 'innocence' with your own hands to fight back, those who want to use 'innocence' to blackmail and hurt you will no longer find any weapons to attack you. Pain is only pain when you care; when you don't care, it's nothing."

.........

Wei Shiyu returned to the classroom in a daze, Lin Yue's words echoing repeatedly in her mind like a curse.

Admit it? Call the police? Drugging and raping? Witness? Every word was like a thunderclap.

She was terrified, trembling with fear, but another, stronger emotion was a twisted excitement born from being driven to the brink.

So, a few days later, one afternoon after school, many students were still packing their bags in the classroom. Wang Rui and his two followers deliberately surrounded Wei Shiyu's seat again.

"Hey, Wei Shiyu, why didn't you go to Teacher Ye's office for 'tutoring' today?" Wang Rui leaned against the table, his tone flippant.

“That’s right, Teacher Ye works so hard with his ‘one-on-one tutoring,’ shouldn’t you go and show your appreciation?” another boy chimed in, laughing.

Wei Shiyu lowered her head, her hands pausing as she packed her schoolbag. She could feel countless gazes upon her, like needles pricking her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Rui became even more smug and raised his voice a few decibels to make sure the whole class could hear him: "Hey, you guys think this 'tutoring' is even going to the bedroom? Isn't it incredibly effective? Wei Shiyu, share your experience! How's Teacher Ye's 'level'?"

Laughter erupted, laced with undisguised malice.

Li Yuetian, who was still nearby, frowned and was about to speak up to stop them.

But at that moment, Wei Shiyu suddenly raised her head.

Her face was frighteningly pale, but she didn't cry, nor did she show her usual timid and fearful expression. Instead, she stared straight at Wang Rui, and even a very strange, cold smile appeared on her lips.

This reaction surprised Wang Rui and his two henchmen.

Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, Wei Shiyu spoke loudly in a clear, almost deliberate, trembling yet exceptionally firm voice:

"Yes! You're right! I definitely got slept with by Ye Wenxiu!"

The entire classroom fell into a deathly silence! You could hear a pin drop!

Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, staring at Wei Shiyu in disbelief. Wang Rui's smile froze; he even wondered if he had misheard.

Then, something even more astonishing happened.

Wei Shiyu took her phone out of her bag, unlocked it quickly, pressed "110", and then turned on the speakerphone!

"Beep...beep...Hello, this is the 110 emergency call center..."

Wei Shiyu took a deep breath and spoke clearly and deliberately into the phone:

"Hello, is this the police? I want to report a crime! I was drugged and raped by my homeroom teacher, Ye Wenxiu!"

Her words caused a huge uproar! The classroom instantly erupted in chaos! Exclamations of surprise filled the air!

Wei Shiyu seemed completely oblivious to the commotion around her. She stretched out her hand and pointed directly at Wang Rui and his two henchmen, who were utterly dumbfounded, their faces turning from red to white, and then from white to green. Her voice carried a ruthless, defiant tone:

“There are several people here who can testify! They saw it with their own eyes! They are the witnesses! Wang Rui! Li Xiaoming! Zhang Wei! It's them!”

The three boys whose names were called froze on the spot as if struck by lightning!
