Chapter 31
The Policewoman handed me a tissue and gave me a hug.
“Don’t be afraid, you’re now at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. No one can hurt you here.”
“Just tell the truth, and we will help you. The law will not let any bad person get away.”
After crying, thinking of the good intentions of Deng Xingxing, Cheng Youran, and Qin Xue, I nodded.
From beginning to end, I told the whole story in detail.
Starting from last September, after the “assessment” at the Orientation Gala.
That was when I truly understood the painstaking care of the three of them.
I also realized all the unreasonable things about the Ballet Club.
Why, when there were only four girls, did they build the house in such a secluded place, and make it so luxurious and comfortable?
It was never for the students.
It was for their own pleasure.
We were Canary, toys with our lifelines in their hands, tools to satisfy their fetishes.
How many Deng Xingxing, Cheng Youran, Qin Xue, and Ji Xia have there been at this third-rate private university?
We were not the first, and definitely not the last.
It was just that this time, they happened to meet us.
Four girls from unfortunate families, who had lost faith in the future.
It wasn’t that we never resisted.
We tried to speak out online, but were quickly suppressed.
The next day, the school publicly criticized us by name, saying we were smearing the school.
The Counselor and classmates could testify that it was our own misconduct, and that the Ballet Club was just a chicken coop.
We tried to unite with other victimized girls who had already graduated, but they angrily rebuked us.
“We’ve all graduated and long forgotten those things. Why do you have to come looking for us?”
We sought help from the police, but were asked to register and provide strong evidence.
Just after returning to school to wait for notification, the School Leadership immediately learned that we had “reported to the police.”
It was then that we understood…
The School Leadership had never been just the School Leadership.
“School Leadership” was merely the least secretive of their identities.
