Upon hearing this, Dong En's eyes suddenly flashed with anger: "Is that so? Just playing around? Then look at me, are all these injuries from playing around?"

Dong En suddenly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the mottled scars on his arms.

The homeroom teacher merely glanced at it, completely unconcerned: "It's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a few days. Heh, don't make a big deal out of it. If you keep causing trouble like this, I might make sure you don't graduate!"

Dong En took a deep breath and smiled: "Just minor injuries? I heard your son is about my age, right? If your son had these kinds of injuries, would you still think they're just minor wounds?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the homeroom teacher grabbed his lesson plan book and, without saying a word, smashed it over Dong En's head.

Dong En was battered and bruised, but he didn't dodge.

Finally, the homeroom teacher slapped her across the face, sneering mockingly, "Who do you think you are? Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If you had nothing wrong, why would they only bully you? Don't always blame others when something happens; reflect on your own actions! Honestly! You think you're worthy of being compared to my son?"

After saying that, the homeroom teacher left without looking back, not even bothering to give a caring glance.

Dong En watched his homeroom teacher's retreating figure, chuckled softly, and muttered to himself with a cold laugh, "Really... why is it always like this..."

Her father was an alcoholic who neglected her completely. When she returned home injured, there was no medicine, no money, and her wounds could only slowly fester.

Gradually, as the infection of her wound became too severe, she began to have a fever.

I have a fever and no money to go to the hospital, and my wound is getting worse and worse...

Seeing Dong-eun fall ill at home, completely uncared for. Her father even complained that she was wasting money eating at home, and once, when drunk, he simply kicked Dong-eun out of the house.

Outside, snow was falling heavily. Dong En looked at the swirling snowflakes, her heart filled with resentment. She forced herself to walk with difficulty through the snow and arrived at a print shop.

She used her savings from food expenses to print out all the bullying acts committed by those people.

The following morning, the campus and its surroundings were plastered with flyers exposing school bullying.

However, the principal quickly ordered the security guards to tear down all the leaflets.

Dong-eun, who filed a formal complaint and posted these notices, was taken directly to the principal's office.

In the principal's office, the principal, dressed in a suit, stared at her impatiently.

"Student, are you aware of the great trouble your behavior is causing us? If this continues, it will seriously damage the school's reputation. Please stop this behavior immediately!"

The principal spoke with righteous indignation.

"Since you know it affects the school's image, why don't you just do something about school bullying? Do you think I want to be bullied? I just want justice! Is that not allowed?" Dong En questioned the principal sternly.

The principal sneered and slapped her across the face, the crisp sound echoing in the room.

Han San clenched his fists and couldn't help but curse the principal: "This person is utterly despicable! How dare someone like this be an educator?"

"Not all educators possess the moral character befitting their profession. There will always be many bad people in this world, and people without malice are almost nonexistent," Chen Anshui remarked with a sigh.

Dong-eun, still unconvinced after being slapped, told her father about it when she got home.

Dong-eun's father, who knew about this, didn't care at all.

Dongen felt desperate, but she refused to give up. She was determined to make those who had hurt her pay the price.

Dong En began contacting major media outlets and online bloggers with large followings to expose the school's egregious behavior online. The incident quickly gained attention after it was exposed.

Even reporters secretly came to interview them. However, Dong En, the real victim, still has not received the justice she deserves.

When interviewed by reporters, the principal gave a very appropriate response, attributing the incident to a prank among students.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. Our school is usually too strict with students, which has caused them to rebel and deliberately play these pranks to tarnish the school's image. Dong En is a very naughty child who doesn't listen to teachers. To be honest, we have a lot of headaches dealing with his education."

The principal complained earnestly in front of the camera.

The reporter who conducted the interview clearly chose to believe the principal's words.

The reporter, who believed the principal, asked a few more questions, received answers, and then left.

Dong En felt desperate and wandered the campus alone, like a lost soul.

On the path ahead on campus, Dong En suddenly saw the principal walking and chatting with the reporter behind the bushes.

Through a green belt, Dong En could clearly hear the conversation between the principal and the reporter.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time. I hope you can help suppress the news about this incident online. Especially those students, they are still young and should not suffer cyberbullying because of school bullying. Their families also hope that their children can have a happy childhood. This is a small token of their appreciation, please accept it."

As the principal spoke, he handed a thick envelope to the reporter.

The reporter took it out and looked at it; the thick stack of banknotes brought a satisfied smile to his face.

"Of course, as a journalist who seeks the truth, I will definitely report this incident truthfully. But don't worry, those children will be absolutely fine."

The two men burst into laughter. Clearly, they had resolved a "big problem" in the midst of their banter.

The problem was solved, but Dong-eun, who was considered a problem, found his life even more difficult.

The bullying incidents reported on television were portrayed as her being disobedient, deliberately playing pranks, and intentionally spreading rumors.

Even local authorities testified on her behalf. With the adults around her unanimously denying her claims, no one believed a middle school student.

Now, the only one who can possibly launch an effective counterattack is his own father.

But Dong-en's father was an alcoholic who spent his days fooling around and didn't have a proper job, basically living on welfare. Not only that, he even believed that Dong-en should go out and work, and that studying was completely useless.

The school, society, relevant departments, and even her own father—everyone adopted an attitude of indifference and ostracism towards this girl who suffered violent bullying, as if completely isolating Dong-eun from the world.

Later, Dong-eun's father suddenly changed his previous indifferent attitude and took Dong-eun to the relevant department to report the matter.

This time, Dong En was convinced that he could finally punish those hateful perpetrators and make them receive the punishment they deserved.

However, despite the initial apparent success, just a few days later, Dong-eun watched helplessly as his father signed an out-of-court settlement, took a large sum of compensation, and went off to buy alcohol with a grin.

As for her injuries, the wounds were getting worse and worse, and nobody paid any attention to them!

Not only that, but right after graduating from junior high school, she was immediately kicked out of her home. Not only was she not allowed to attend high school, but her father also disappeared. (End of Chapter)
