Chapter 101
The person who bullied me in school is now a big star!
In just one night, this anonymous post spread throughout the entire forum, and its content was wildly forwarded and amplified on various platforms.
The post contains a first-person account from a victim of school violence.
"My name is Lin Yucheng, born in xxxx, 26 years old this year. I attended Penghu High School in Nancheng District, S City. I am an only child. Although I was born and raised in a small county, my parents loved me very much and paid great attention to my upbringing. In order for me to enjoy better educational resources, my parents spent all their savings to buy a house in S City and send me to the prestigious Penghu High School. I know the effort my parents have put into me, so I dare not take it lightly. I have always had excellent grades. I thought that by entering a good school and enjoying good resources, I could better improve myself and live up to my parents' expectations. However, my ideal high school life was destroyed by a bully."
During my first week at school, this person and her friends cornered me in the bathroom. I thought I had done something wrong to upset her, and after she slapped me, I thought the matter was over. But I never expected that she would relentlessly attack me with violence for the next three years. From my first year of high school to my third, whenever she was in a bad mood, she would call me to the bathroom, where she would either slap me or, more seriously, kick me repeatedly in the stomach.
That person held my gun and threatened me, forbidding me to tell anyone. I endured this for three years, three years of living in misery, with no one to save me. Years of bullying at school led to depression, and my grades plummeted. Finally, I graduated high school, and that person disappeared completely. I thought I was finally free, but now the person who hurt me is a big star. Ha! How ridiculous! I, the victim, am still struggling with depression, taking medication every day, while the culprit who caused all this has become a celebrity. My youth, who can compensate me?
This self-narrative is written with heartbreaking detail, and the author's release of his student ID and diagnosis of depression further supports the story and makes it feel more real.
Currently, school violence is one of the most likely topics to ignite public opinion. Because many perpetrators are minors, they are unlikely to receive the punishment they deserve, and therefore, online criticism of this issue has never ceased.
The fact that a school bully has become a big star has enraged righteous people online. They believe in the principle of "better to kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person go free," and they have been forwarding the post, hoping to find out the truth and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Many internet celebrities and marketing accounts reposted this post, and soon the matter became widely known.
A celebrity who graduated from Penghu High School and is around 26 years old.
Soon, people set their sights on Lin Leyao.
#Lin Leyao's school violence#
This topic suddenly emerged and then suddenly exploded.
However, in the blink of an eye, various marketing accounts and online influencers seemed to have already made it a certainty that Lin Leyao was a perpetrator of school violence, and they posted frantically, using the topic of Lin Leyao being a perpetrator of school violence.
The incident escalated to its peak when an older male celebrity in the entertainment industry liked a Weibo post criticizing Lin Leyao for school violence.
This male celebrity is in his forties. Because of one representative work, even though he hasn't produced any good works since, he is still regarded as a representative of the "uncle" generation.
Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, his "like" was tantamount to sentencing Lin Leyao to death; everyone now believed that Lin Leyao had done such a thing.
Dragging a glamorous celebrity down from their pedestal is something that can easily drive people crazy. Unknown netizens and onlookers went into a frenzy, showering Lin Leyao with insults and condemnation.
Some people even brought up Lin Leyao's past scandals and works to attack her, and some even went to the official Weibo accounts of the films and television series Lin Leyao had acted in, clamoring for these works to be taken down.
Lin Leyao was thrust into the spotlight, and this news was far more serious than any previous scandals or gossip.
The incident escalated at breakneck speed, becoming known across the entire internet in just two hours.
Even in the comments sections of various videos on short video platforms, a large number of netizens are using this incident as a meme.
Even in the comments section of unrelated videos, many netizens were still leaving comments suggesting that Lin Leyao should beat him up.
This level of fanaticism surprised even seasoned internet users, with some wondering how things could have escalated to this point so quickly.
The incident began to escalate in the evening and reached its peak just as everyone was having dinner and relaxing.
At this time, Lin Leyao and Xin Ying had just finished dinner. Xin Ying went to the study to look at some urgent documents, while Lin Leyao sat down to read a book.
Suddenly, her phone kept beeping with message notifications. Because there were so many messages, the notifications never stopped, and even Xin Ying, who was engrossed in reading the documents, couldn't help but look over.
Lin Leyao had just picked up her phone to check the message when the call came in. She looked at the caller ID, walked outside the study, closed the door, and then answered the call.
Xiao Yan's tone was very urgent: "Today someone posted on the forum directly accusing you of school violence. The public opinion is completely out of control now. Is this true or false? Is there any strong evidence to clarify this?"
Lin Leyao replied without hesitation, "It's fake. Send me the post, and I'll see what it says."
Xiao Yan hung up the phone and sent the post the next second.
Actually, Lin Leyao already knew who was behind this when Xiao Yan first brought it up.
She had a premonition when she received Xie Kai's mother's call yesterday, knowing what was going to happen, but she didn't expect it to all happen so quickly.
Lin Leyao quickly browsed through the post. It seemed to have been written by a professional writer, as the details were very realistic, and the photos that could prove the identity were enough to convince anyone who saw it.
Penghu High School.
Upon seeing these words, Lin Leyao smiled.
Lin Leyao's official information and her previous interviews both state that she graduated from Penghu High School.
However, she transferred to Penghu High School later, and attended Mingya International High School for junior high and the first year of high school.
She had experienced school bullying before, but it wasn't physical violence; it was verbal.
Back then, because Ji Rong remarried her brother-in-law, many rumors circulated. The international high school she attended had many children from wealthy families studying there. These children matured early and had all heard about Lin Leyao's mother's deeds from their parents. Therefore, Lin Leyao often heard people whispering behind her back when she was at school.
These people would say that her mother drove her aunt crazy.
They'll say her mother is immoral, that she eloped with someone when she was young, and that she steals other women's men when she's old.
She also said that her father was killed by her mother.
At that time, Lin Leyao was young. Because of the verbal abuse she suffered at school, she often skipped classes. Eventually, the school told her grandfather, who felt sorry for her and transferred her to Penghu High School. He also changed her information so that she could study as a girl from an ordinary family.
As Lin Leyao read this post and reminisced about the past, Xiao Yan kept sending her messages.
Lin Leyao did not reply. She clicked on her album and found a photo.
Lin Leyao logged into Weibo, but due to the large number of private messages and mentions, her phone froze for more than ten seconds before finally recovering.
Lin Leyao edited a few words, attached the photo, and sent it out.
[Lin Leyao]: I cyberbullied you for three years of high school? But I didn't attend Penghu High School in my first year of high school. [Image: jpg]
The post was immediately shared by marketing accounts, and those who originally wanted to criticize Lin Leyao were stunned after seeing the content and images on the Weibo post.
The picture posted by Lin Leyao shows a very fair-skinned and pretty little girl.
Everyone recognized the little girl's face immediately; she was Lin Leyao as a child. In the photo, Lin Leyao is wearing a school uniform and looking directly at the camera. This photo was taken on the first day of her first year of high school.
The school uniform has a logo with the words "Mingya" written below it.
Soon, someone explained that this was the school uniform of Mingya International School.
The poster claimed to have been bullied during all three years of high school, but Lin Leyao did not attend Penghu High School in her first year of high school, which is clearly inconsistent.
Unexpectedly, Lin Leyao's clarification was so swift and powerful that not only netizens but also marketing accounts were caught off guard.
On the forum, many netizens questioned the poster, who tried to cover up his mistake in the comments.
"My description is inaccurate; the perpetrators in the first and second years of high school are not the same person."
As if to increase the credibility of his words, the poster also posted a picture of the scars left from cutting his wrists.
“I have no reason to lie. Just because she transferred to Penghu High School in her second year of high school doesn’t mean she didn’t hit me.”
However, after seeing the evidence presented by Lin Leyao, netizens' trust in the poster decreased significantly.
Lin Leyao quickly saw the poster's reply. She didn't argue with him anymore and directly posted on Weibo: "If you want to kill me, then please spend more money investigating me. Don't try these petty tricks that I can easily expose. It makes me think you're a piece of trash! And to the person who spread rumors about me on the forum, I don't know if you're alone or with a team, but since you dared to post them, be prepared to receive a court summons. I will fight you to the death!"
Lin Leyao's words quickly went viral on Weibo, with many influential figures sharing the post and praising her for her "slay" performance.
However, under the Weibo post they reposted, many netizens angrily cursed them from the bottom of their hearts.
“ntm posted on Weibo before that Lin Leyao was a victim of school violence. Why did you delete the post so quickly? Just because you spread rumors doesn’t mean you can delete it and pretend it never happened.”
"You big V's are disgusting! You dogs who take money to do things, who paid you to do this? You want to kill Lin Leyao, right!"
"Damn, I actually believed what you guys posted, thinking Lin Leyao really did engage in school bullying, and I posted a lot of Weibo posts cursing her. You bunch of marketing accounts and big V's are just internet garbage, do you really think that having money and power can control public opinion and smear others?!"
“I deleted all the posts that criticized Lin Leyao. I didn’t mean to criticize her. I just like to follow gossip. So many big V accounts with millions of followers said that Lin Leyao was a school bully and asked her to apologize. I thought it was true and so I criticized her. I’m sorry Lin Leyao, I’m sorry to all of you fans. This time it was my fault. I will accept your criticism and I won’t argue back.”
Lin Leyao's words were powerful and thought-provoking. Because they were such a slap in the face, the influential bloggers who had previously criticized Lin Leyao quietly deleted their Weibo posts.
Even the older male celebrities who had previously liked his post quickly unliked it, but this bizarre move by him has already made countless people fall for him.
He originally intended to project an image of genuine character and speak out for victims of school violence, but unexpectedly, this backfired.
This time, the online influencers and celebrities who usually easily stir up controversy all suffered a major setback, drawing long-standing condemnation from netizens, who dared not speak out against their grievances.
Lin Leyao's Weibo post quickly reached Xie Kai's mother's ears. Hearing the report from the MSN organization she had bribed, she was so angry that she threw her phone away.
She gritted her teeth. She knew that she and Lin Leyao were both aware of what had happened today, and that Lin Leyao's words were a deliberate provocation.

Chapter 102
A massive media storm eventually subsided thanks to a swift and decisive clarification.
Although the internet appeared calm and peaceful on the surface after the storm, an undercurrent was constantly surging beneath the surface.
Lin Leyao has been incredibly popular lately, with a ton of news surrounding her. Having only had a few scandals over the years since her debut, Lin Leyao has been trending on social media frequently in just a few months, with each news item being a major event that has shaken the hearts of gossip lovers, naturally attracting a lot of attention.
Because the incident took such a dramatic turn, Lin Leyao's popularity has soared. Many netizens who felt guilty towards her due to the misunderstanding have become her fans, and her recent popularity index is approaching that of top celebrities.
Recently, the discussions among netizens on the forum have all revolved around Lin Leyao.
Some were discussing the history of Lin Leyao's debut.
Someone created a dedicated photo thread for Lin Leyao, posting many pictures of her for everyone to admire.
Some people have also started a recommendation thread, which compiles all of Lin Leyao's works over the years since her debut.
Of course, there were also many other posts that predicted Lin Leyao's future that were bumped up by people.
A few years ago, a prophecy post said that Lin Leyao's popularity would not last more than five years, and that she would gradually fade into obscurity.
This year marks Lin Leyao's sixth year in the industry, and far from fading into obscurity, her popularity has soared.
Many people mocked the post in the comments section.
