Chapter 206
Chapter 206
Bai Xiaohua felt a wave of despair. She had originally thought that exposing this matter would attract some attention and help, but now it seemed that all of this was in vain.
The other party clearly had a powerful background and influence, and her efforts were completely ineffective.
Worse still, instead of receiving the support she deserved, she was used against herself. She was accused of framing someone, which plunged her into an even deeper predicament.
Bai Xiaohua had lost all her strength and means; she found herself utterly powerless in the face of this powerful opponent. No matter how she struggled, she could not change the situation.
Finally, when the other party threatened her again with her brother, she could no longer hold on.
She knew that if she didn't compromise, her brother might suffer misfortune. So, she reluctantly chose to give in.
However, this was not the end. The other party didn't let her go; instead, they filmed numerous videos of her and used them to blackmail her. These videos were circulated among his friends, and she was also widely shared by the son of a high-ranking official.
Her father, a son of an official, also sensed a business opportunity and kept transferring her among various officials. Soon, her reputation spread throughout the school thanks to the deliberate sharing by the son of an official.
The students started pointing and whispering about her. The girls stopped talking to her, their eyes filled with disgust and contempt. The boys looked at her like she was a commodity, and even the teachers seemed to have heard about her; their gazes towards her became very strange.
Bai Xiaohua dared not let her younger brother know about these things. He was only in junior high school and was still young. He was so outstanding, and she couldn't let him worry.
Life was like hell. But after that day, the real nightmare began.
The company where she interned was a large company, and the boss of the company was a big shot, although she had only met him a few times.
But when she was sent to his bed by those who wanted to curry favor with him that day, they recognized her; the boss was Wen Zhen.
Wen Zhen was surprised to recognize her. He had heard of her before, but he didn't expect that this woman was their company's best intern.
“Your abilities are undeniable. If you trust me, perhaps I can help you.” That’s what Wen Zhen really said back then.
He was so gentle then, like the spring sunshine, making people feel incredibly warm and comfortable. Bai Xiaohua knew that if she missed this opportunity, she might never be able to solve this problem again! She was extremely conflicted and hesitated for a long time, but finally made up her mind to tell him the whole story without reservation.
Wen Zhen listened quietly to Bai Xiaohua's story, his gaze remaining fixed on her, conveying a sense of reassurance. After Bai Xiaohua finished speaking, Wen Zhen gently patted her head and said tenderly, "Don't worry, you are an excellent employee of our company, and I will definitely handle this matter properly."
From then on, Bai Xiaohua was surprised to find that she was no longer harassed by anyone at school, and that son of a high-ranking official avoided her like the plague. All these changes made her feel somewhat incredulous, but at the same time, they filled her with gratitude towards Bai Xiaohua.
Based on Bai Xiaohua's account, Wen Zhen, after investigation and verification, confirmed that several of the officials who had dealings with her were people in his network.
Coincidentally, during that period, City X was successfully captured, and the list of those implicated was subsequently exposed. Upon learning of this, the higher-ups decided to dispatch an inspection team to conduct a thorough investigation.
If the inspection team happens to discover this incident during their investigation and follows the lead of Bai Xiaohua, finding that officials are forcing such improper transactions, then another group of people will surely lose their jobs and may even face imprisonment.
Only after the inspection team left did Bai Xiaohua understand the whole story. And after those in power left, everything for her returned to its former hellish state!
The only difference is that Bai Xiaohua is now Wen Zhen's secretary to the outside world, but in private, she is treated like merchandise and given away by countless people...
Lin Yue felt a pang of sorrow after hearing Bai Xiaohua's story. Her fists clenched: "These beasts! Sigh, you're a pitiful person too."
Lin Yue sighed, "However, since you know about the bad things Wen Zhen has done, why don't you... Never mind, I won't ask anymore."
She knew she had done her best. Bai Xiaohua cried and said, "I can't do anything. I still have my younger brother... If I die, what will he do alone?"
Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then draped the clothes over her shoulders: "I can help you."
Lin Yue had no idea how much comfort her simple words had given to Bai Xiaohua, who was struggling to hold on. Her eyes reddened, but she still silently got dressed: "It's not that I don't believe you. I've already felt so relieved to have said all this. These past few years, I've been living in a daze, not knowing where I was or how time was passing."
I remember one night, I didn't know who I was lying under, but I was awakened by the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the window. That's when I realized that it was New Year's Day and every household was celebrating... but I...
Her heart had long since died.
"Even if all those people are dead, so what? My series of video discs and photo albums have already been produced and sold underground. They filmed a lot of them back then, and countless people bought these things. Even if the truth comes out, so many people have seen them, and my physical reactions in the videos are real..."
She lived a life of humiliation, a life of numbness, a life of despair.
Some say that as long as you're alive, there's hope.
But when a person completely degenerates and willingly becomes a slave to fate, what meaning and value does life have for her? Is it just to be pointed at and talked about over tea?
Pathetic, shameful, despicable, hateful, or laughable? Bai Xiaohua didn't know which category she belonged to.
“It’s not your fault. Physical feelings aren’t the same as inner desires,” Lin Yue said softly. She really didn’t know how to comfort this traumatized person in front of her. She decided to try changing the subject: “By the way, how’s your brother doing?”
Upon hearing the word "brother," Bai Xiaohua's previously dull eyes instantly lit up with a gleam of genuine pride and joy: "My brother is amazing! He's number one in the whole school! He's truly outstanding and my greatest pride!"
“Since your brother is so outstanding, he is your hope. You can’t give up on yourself so easily. You must live well, for your brother and for yourself.”
However, Lin Yue knew very well that although she could comfort Bai Xiaohua with words, the videos taken during the rape and circulated were not a problem that she could easily solve.
Sister Li Yuejiao might have a way, but Lin Yue also understood that even Sister Li Yuejiao could only stop the videos from spreading at most, and it was almost impossible to completely remove them.
Just as she was pondering, a sudden commotion erupted outside the door, instantly putting Lin Yue on alert. She quickly turned her gaze to the door and witnessed Li Yuejiao leading a group of people as they stormed into the room like a whirlwind.
Li Yuejiao's gaze met Lin Yue's for a moment. She looked her up and down anxiously and asked with concern, "Lin Yue, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Lin Yue smiled and shook her head, briefly explaining what had happened: "By the way, where's Li Yuetian?"
"I see. Li Yuetian was slightly injured, so I didn't let him come over. He's at my base; I hired a private doctor." Li Yuejiao's attention was quickly drawn to Bai Xiaohua beside her. She curiously looked at the unfamiliar girl and asked in confusion, "What happened? Who is she?"
Seeing this, Lin Yue quickly recounted Bai Xiaohua's ordeal to Li Yuejiao. After listening, Li Yuejiao couldn't help but sigh.
She gently patted Bai Xiaohua's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Those who bullied you won't get away with it. We will definitely help you get justice!"
Lin Yue looked at Li Yuejiao and said, "Sister, do you think you can think of a way to deal with those videos?" Li Yuejiao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll try my best, but it's unlikely to completely remove them, but I can prevent them from circulating anymore."
Just then, Bai Xiaohua suddenly knelt down without warning, and kowtowed without hesitation, saying, "Thank you, I really don't know how to repay you."
This sudden action startled Lin Yue. She quickly reached out to help Bai Xiaohua up and said with concern, "Don't do this. Get up quickly. If you encounter injustice, you must stand up. We will help you get justice."
