CHAPTER 935: CHAPTER 935: JUSTICE DELAYED YET ARRIVES

The homeroom teacher finished defending himself and started sobbing.

He had suffered so much injustice, with nowhere to vent his frustrations.

This time, he simply couldn’t hold back anymore, and finally burst into tears.

After he finished crying, he awkwardly wiped his tears and said to Shi Yaoguang, "Sorry, I made a fool of myself."

Yaoguang shook her head, "It’s alright, I understand how you feel."

"Really?" The homeroom teacher was very surprised, "Do you really believe me?"

"I came to help you resolve this matter." Yaoguang’s gaze was sincere.

The homeroom teacher couldn’t help but tear up again, "Thank you, thank you! I knew that I wouldn’t be abandoned by the world, as long as I persevere and don’t give up, there will definitely be hope!"

Yaoguang nodded in agreement.

"As long as you don’t give up hope, hope will not abandon you."

The homeroom teacher nodded, "Miss Shi, thank you. I definitely won’t give up on clearing my name!"

After saying this, he couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Shi, why have you come this time?"

Yaoguang: "I’ve come to help people like you, who have been persecuted by Lin Zifan, to seek justice."

Mr. Li’s face changed abruptly, gritting his teeth in fury, "Miss Shi, do you mean that Lin Zifan hasn’t only harmed me?"

"Yes."

Yaoguang briefly explained the situation, "Anyone who has had any disagreements with him has not fared well."

"Why would Lin Zifan do this?!"

Mr. Li was quite puzzled. Clearly, the Lin Zifan of the past wasn’t like this; when did he begin to change?

On closer thought, it seemed to be right after he had a conversation with him.

Thinking of this, Mr. Li couldn’t help but fall into a state of self-blame.

If it weren’t for him, perhaps Li Zifan wouldn’t have become like this.

In response, Yaoguang just wanted to say one thing, he was overthinking it.

"Mr. Li, there’s no need to blame yourself; this isn’t your fault."

Mr. Li sighed, "It’s me. It’s because I didn’t consider his teenage ego back then that he became this extreme. It’s my fault!"

Yaoguang thought about it; for Li Zifan to cultivate to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it would take at least a thousand years.

A person of a thousand years, growing only in age but not in wisdom.

Even if the past life Li Zifan suffered some humiliation because of Mr. Li...

Even if the matter itself was Lin Zifan’s fault, Lin Zifan himself doesn’t see it that way.

In his view, it was the world that wronged him.

Thus, as the party wronged, whatever he does is justified.

Those he dealt with, deserve it.

But...

Even if he were to live again, his mindset would not change.

Even though, after experiencing so much, he should understand a simple truth.

Simply put, the matter itself is Lin Zifan’s fault.

It’s like an abuser, a reincarnated murderer.

Because of childhood experiences, he has great malice towards the world.

Just because the victim has certain characteristics that overlap with the abuser he encountered in childhood.

So he vents all his resentment on innocent people.

After the event, he even defends himself with, "He didn’t want this either; if not for his childhood experiences shaping him, he too would have wanted to serve the nation; he should have been the flower of the country, the pillar of society."

This is simply a fallacy.

Mr. Li was not aware that Lin Zifan was a reincarnated being, nor that he was now a thousand-year-old man.

Cough.

No matter what, Lin Zifan doesn’t grow in wisdom; age truly makes no difference for him.

Seeing him still caught up in the thought that Lin Zifan’s current state might be his own doing, Yaoguang simply countered, "Mr. Li, did you teach Lin Zifan to be indulgent in women?"

Mr. Li’s face flushed red, he hurriedly defended himself, "Not me, I didn’t teach him these! Those things aren’t mine; Miss Shi, didn’t you say you believe me?"

"I do believe you."

Yaoguang said, emphasizing the fact that Lin Zifan was surrounded by women, "Mr. Li, you should know that human nature doesn’t change easily, and minds don’t switch instantly."

"There are many women, either voluntarily or forced, around Lin Zifan; surely, Mr. Li, you don’t think all these women were gathered because of your teachings, do you?"

Mr. Li finally understood what Yaoguang meant.

Li Zifan becoming what he is now is indeed Lin Zifan’s own fault.

It has little to do with him.

Moreover, what he did previously wasn’t wrong.

Lin Zifan set a wrong example in the class; as a teacher, he inherently had the responsibility to guide and correct.

Lin Zifan refused to listen and instead blamed everything on him, which is completely wrong.

Thinking of this, Mr. Li couldn’t help but say to Yaoguang, "Miss Shi, I understand what you mean, I won’t blame myself anymore."

Yaoguang nodded, "It’s good that Mr. Li can see clearly."

"The mistakes Lin Zifan made will have to be answered for one day."

Mr. Li agreed, "Everyone needs to pay for their actions; Lin Zifan is no exception!"

Saying this, his expression suddenly turned melancholic.

Justice may be delayed, but it will definitely not be absent.

But is delayed justice still justice?

This question, Mr. Li was not sure.

Thinking of how he ended up with a broken family because of Lin Zifan, he resented him deeply, wanting endless revenge.

But that’s just what he thinks.

To truly break all ties, he couldn’t do it.

Thinking this, he looked at Yaoguang, inquiring if she had a way to deal with Lin Zifan, "Since Lin Zifan has the ability to make those who were previously opposed to him unlucky, it shows his extraordinary ability. Miss Shi, do you have a solid plan to deal with him?"

"If... if a clean kill is not possible, better not to provoke him."

Mr. Li was a bit concerned about Yaoguang’s situation.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her.

If she involved herself, there wasn’t much benefit.

If she were to suffer any harm because of it, he truly would be guilty.

Knowing what he was thinking, Yaoguang said, "I’m not doing this entirely for you, Mr. Li doesn’t need to feel too pressured."

Mr. Li: "Regardless of who Miss Shi is doing this for, you should first ensure your own safety."

This, Yaoguang certainly understood.

After some pleasantries, Yaoguang asked Mr. Li to find the evidence from when he was framed.

Or rather, find ways to prove his innocence.

Mr. Li had been framed by Lin Zifan, but he personally didn’t have such thoughts.

He has a loving wife and young son, he doesn’t need to covet others at all.

Let alone students in class.

Under such circumstances, he could only find a way to prove his intentions, at any time, proving oneself is the biggest challenge.

Mr. Li also didn’t know how to prove himself.
