Chapter 94: No Longer Hurt

Lin Qin v: When I saw these photos of the school bullying I experienced in the past, my feelings were actually very calm. For me, it’s just a part of the past. Perhaps I was once trapped in this past, unable to extricate myself, unwilling to have any interaction with the world.

But now, I’ve walked out of it. I’ve truly moved on from the past. I have my loved ones, I have my family, and they’ve given me tremendous courage.

So, if certain people are trying to use these photos to dredge up those unbearable memories from my past and force me to relive that pain—let me tell you now, that’s impossible. Instead, these photos further reveal the evil you committed, a stain you’ll never be able to wash away in your lifetime.

Perhaps I should wish you well and suggest you focus on living your own life properly, rather than acting like maggots—a disgusting display of your sins for the public to see, ending only in repulsion.

When I graduated from that high school, everything about me had nothing to do with you anymore. I’m living well now—better than you, probably better than you could ever imagine—so don’t bother yourselves worrying.

To all those who care about me, I thank you deeply. It’s your love that has given me the courage to face everything.

Lin Qin, March 6, 201X.

When Lin Qin posted this response, within two minutes, it was reposted and commented on tens of thousands of times. Below it was filled with fans and passersby offering encouragement to the young individual, alongside insults directed at those with ulterior motives who circulated the photos.

Indeed, that painful past was an injury for Lin Qin, and someone deliberately exposed it publicly to inflict as much damage as possible, attempting to cause secondary harm to Lin Qin.

However, Lin Qin’s response was measured and dignified, each word resounding and strong—a complete slap in the faces of those people.

One fan wrote: [Lin Xiaotu, let’s not worry about them. We’ll walk forward together. The past will fade away like the wind, and we’ll advance together through storms into the future.]

The comment garnered tens of thousands of likes in an instant.

Lin Qin saw this particular message, tapped like, and replied with just two words: Thank you.

The crisis that had started with great momentum was resolved with Lin Qin’s poised and effortless handling, dissipating as if it had never existed.

Watching the online opinions shift in a positive direction, Lin Qin handed the phone to Meng Chao with an air of satisfaction, saying, "Take a look, take a look. See how well I handled this matter?"

Lin Qin had once said that certain things, he could shoulder on his own. So, when those photos appeared on the internet, Meng Chao and Chu Hong chose to respect Lin Qin’s decision and showed him the photos immediately.

The emotions of anger and fear Lin Jing might have expected from seeing the photos did not appear. As Lin Qin responded in his post, he was very calm, as if he was looking at someone else’s story.

Thus, he calmly asked Meng Chao and Chu Hong to entrust the matter to him alone.

The pair continued to respect Lin Qin’s decision, and so Lin Qin wrote this response. After finishing it, he felt completely relaxed.

He was calm because he knew he had truly said goodbye to that dark past.

After reading some of the comments online, Meng Chao couldn’t help but admit that Lin Qin had indeed handled the situation exceptionally well this time. He ruffled Lin Qin’s hair and complimented him generously, saying, "My Qinqin is the best."

Lin Qin gave a proud smile, looking at the sun rising in the distance, his mood as radiant as the sunlight.

As for what would happen with this matter afterward, Lin Qin entrusted it entirely to Meng Chao and Chu Hong.

Very soon, Chu Hong managed to locate the person who had circulated the photos. The result was surprising—it was Huang Wankai, who had absolutely no connection to Lin Qin’s high school days.

Huang Wankai had been blacklisted by his company after a previous incident, leaving him filled with resentment toward Lin Qin. So when he learned about Lin Qin’s experience of school bullying, he immediately contacted Lin Qin’s former classmates and obtained these photos of Lin Qin during those violent moments.

To carry out his plan, he even consulted a psychologist, asking whether psychological trauma patients would suffer worsening symptoms upon seeing photos of their past injuries.

The psychologist’s answer was affirmative.

Thus, Huang Wankai orchestrated this entire scheme, aiming to plunge Lin Qin back into an abyss of darkness.

But he hadn’t expected that Lin Qin’s situation had completely transformed. She had already walked out of the past, so those photos, even if seen by Lin Qin, couldn’t stir any fear within her.

Huang Wankai’s plan was destined to fail.

In the end, Huang Wankai faced his deserved punishment. He was permanently barred from the entertainment industry, a business he’d entered at nineteen. Having lived extravagantly within it since then, he lacked other skills and couldn’t adapt to a life outside the industry. Within a month, he burned through all of his savings. Without other talents and unable to settle down to learn, he ultimately found himself in the embarrassing situation of not being able to afford even a meal.

However, Meng Chao didn’t believe the matter was truly over. He couldn’t accept that someone like Huang Wankai could have obtained those photos alone. There had to be another person playing a more significant role in the shadows.

Quietly and meticulously, Meng Chao investigated further, and the clues began to surface.

He discovered that Huang Wankai’s first major backer upon entering the entertainment industry was none other than Fang Minghui. Moreover, Huang Wankai and Fang Minghui had been in frequent contact during this period.

This couldn’t be a coincidence; there was only one possibility—Huang Wankai’s actions had been directed by Fang Minghui.

The Fang Family, after being jointly stricken by the Lin, Meng, and Chu families last time, had already declined significantly. However, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, so the Fang Group continued to survive in its weakened state. Fang Minghui’s tech company, however, had announced bankruptcy two months earlier.

Meng Chao had assumed that Fang Minghui would learn from this setback and keep his claws tucked in, acting sensibly. But it seemed the man was still scheming to harm Lin Qin behind the scenes.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing within them. The next day, he personally showed up at the Fang Group, directly confronting Fang Minghui.

Fang Minghui was now acting general manager of the Fang Group, but his position was precarious. He frequently endured disdain from his relatives within the company, who blamed him solely for the group’s current dire situation. Though he held the general manager title, he lived constrained at the Fang Group, a far cry from his previous arrogance and recklessness.

When Fang Minghui heard from his secretary that Meng Chao was there to see him, his heart sank slightly, suspecting that the matter had been exposed.

Fang Minghui forced himself to stay calm. From start to finish, he hadn’t handled any part of this directly—all of it had been done by Huang Wankai. Meng Chao had no evidence, so if confronted, he’d simply deny everything.

Fang Minghui reassured himself with this thought.
