CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 156: TAKING A STAND

"This is too much! How can they bully people like this?"

"Just because she’s a senior, does she think she can publicly humiliate people?"

"Let’s go! I’ll go with you to reason with that bitch!"

....

Lin Qin had just arrived outside dorm 301 when she heard Bai Junjun’s angry shouting from inside.

She paused for a moment and quickly opened the door.

Everyone turned to look at her, and Lin Qin blinked innocently, "What’s going on? I could hear Junjun’s loud voice from a distance. Why is Juanhua crying? Who bullied you?"

Lin Qin quickly set down the fruits and handed a handkerchief to her, looking worried.

Bai Junjun said angrily, "It’s that Li Xiaomei, of course. Juanhua just joined the classical poetry club not long ago. She just spoke a few more words with their club president, and that woman acted like a lunatic targeting Juanhua, even bringing people along to ostracize her.

Juanhua felt wronged and couldn’t help but question Li Xiaomei in front of their club president. As a result, Li Xiaomei accused her of having ulterior motives and a bad character, even saying Juanhua was ugly and was only recruited as an exception by the president. She also insulted Juanhua for being delicate and unable to bear hardship, telling her to quit the club voluntarily."

Lin Qin’s face immediately fell, and she looked at Du Juanhua with a serious expression, "When Li Xiaomei was bullying you like this, your club president was right there? He didn’t say anything?"

Du Juanhua cried even harder, speaking between sobs, "I... I just hoped the president would stand up for justice for me, so... I gathered the courage to fight back, but I didn’t expect the president not to believe me at all. When Li Xiaomei humiliated me, he just stood there without saying a word. How could he do that, boo hoo hoo..."

Lin Qin and Ge Qiuyue, being experienced, immediately sensed something was off.

The two exchanged looks.

Ge Qiuyue frowned and asked, "Juanhua, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for your club president?"

Du Juanhua lowered her head, sobbing, not making a sound.

Lin Qin furrowed her brow, "What’s the situation with that guy?"

Zhang Hong immediately spoke up, "That guy’s name is Wang Xinyuan. He’s a sophomore in our Chinese language major, and he was the one who received the new students at the beginning of the semester. I remember he was the one who took everyone to their dorms!"

Others nodded.

Lin Qin had some impression, and turning to Du Juanhua, she sighed helplessly, "It’s normal for a young girl to have a crush, first time in a big place, seeing a talented man who’s decent-looking and well-mannered, it’s understandable to fall for him. But girl, there are plenty of men with good conditions. This Wang Xinyuan is clearly not a good man, at least not for you.

The semester has just started, there’s no need to cry over such a guy. Pack up quickly, we’ll go with you to get an explanation from Li Xiaomei and make her apologize to you in public."

Zhang Hong looked a bit anxious, "Sister Qin, Li Xiaomei is very temperamental because Wang Xinyuan favors her. Getting her to apologize to Juanhua might be difficult."

Lin Qin laughed, "What’s there to be afraid of! Aren’t I here? If she doesn’t apologize, I’ll publish this in the newspaper and make a big fuss, let everyone come and comment."

Bai Junjun’s eyes lit up, "Good! That’s a great idea!"

Ge Qiuyue looked at Du Juanhua, speaking earnestly, "Alright, stop crying. Can you accept Lin Qin’s idea? If you agree, we’ll go find Li Xiaomei for an account right now, but if we do that, you have to be prepared to quit the club."

Du Juanhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, "I’ll listen to Sister Qin!"

So the six from dorm 301 blocked Li Xiaomei halfway.

Li Xiaomei’s face instantly darkened upon seeing Du Juanhua, sarcastically saying, "What? After doing such shameless things, you still dare to come looking for me so openly? Afraid others won’t know you’re shameless?"

Ge Qiuyue stepped forward and gave Li Xiaomei a light push, "Step aside a bit, your foul mouth is making me nauseous, haven’t brushed your teeth for a few days? Who’s shameless? What shameless thing did our Juanhua do? If you don’t make it clear today, don’t blame us for being rude!"

"Hey! Why are you getting physical!" Zhuang Fangfang stepped forward to shield Li Xiaomei.

Ge Qiuyue shouted even louder, "When did I get physical? Which of your eyes saw me get physical? Did I hit her or what?"

"You did get physical! You shrew!"

"So what if I’m a shrew? A shrew is better than a slut. Look at you all with your indecent appearance, like the secret prostitutes from a brothel, looking like improper little hussies, and colluding together, stinking to high heaven...."

Ge Qiuyue’s swearing skills were truly an eye-opener for everyone.

Li Xiaomei, never having been humiliated like this before, was so furious she slapped Ge Qiuyue on the spot.

Ge Qiuyue wanted just this, and immediately shouted, "You filthy slut, I’ll tear you apart, you cheap bitch!"

Just like that, the two dorms started brawling in front of everyone. Li Xiaomei was the target of dorm 301, and Lin Qin and Ge Qiuyue, along with Du Juanhua, rushed over to attack her, quickly knocking her down and beating her up.

Zhuang Fangfang and the others tried to rescue her, but Zhou Xue, along with Zhang Hong and Bai Junjun, blocked them. With Zhou Xue being such a capable fighter, taking on three at once, Li Xiaomei’s dormmates were powerless to resist the beating.

Especially Li Xiaomei, who was beaten so badly she was almost unrecognizable.

Seeing the situation was about right, Lin Qin shouted loudly, "Retreat!"

The people from dorm 301 had just run off when security rushed over and, seeing Li Xiaomei’s miserable state, quickly sent her to the infirmary and informed the school leadership.

In the counselor’s office.

Zhang Chunhe looked at the six vibrant and pretty girls in front of him, his forehead twitching, unable to associate them with on-campus violence.

"Speak! Do you realize what you did wrong?"

Everyone stood straight and proud, eyes showing determination.

Lin Qin raised her hand, "Report, Director Zhang, may I speak?"

Zhang Chunhe, with a headache, nodded, "Go ahead!"

Lin Qin spoke innocently, "Director Zhang, according to the ’Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China’ and relevant judicial interpretations. According to Article 20 of the Criminal Law, self-defense refers to necessary counterattacks against ongoing illegal infringement in order to prevent it. Self-defense is an act to stop illegal infringement to protect the state, public interest, personal, property, and other rights from ongoing illegal infringement. Damage caused to the illegal infringer, in this case, is considered self-defense and is not criminally liable.

To sum up, our actions were self-defense and not illegal, and the other party first defamed and verbally attacked us, we retaliated, without violating morality, so we did nothing wrong!"

Zhang Chunhe hadn’t even spoken when the man behind him at the workstation jumped up excitedly, spitting, "You beat someone into the hospital, and still say you did nothing wrong!"

Lin Qin put on an innocent face, appearing aggrieved, "Teacher, it’s not about who’s more miserable being right. They provoked and defamed us first and were the first to get physical. If we’re being thorough, at most, we over-defended, but the main responsibility still lies with them."
