"Pah! You're nothing! Beating you up twice is being lenient."
"Next time you dare mess with my sister, I'll stab you to death!"
Saying this, the man spat on the ground, and swaggered away with a few lackeys by his side.
My consciousness was gradually fading, I couldn't even feel the pain of my wounds, the warmth in my body was slowly slipping away, and in my blurred vision, I saw a familiar figure.
It was my girlfriend, Du Xiaojia.
Seeing my state, she was initially startled, then she murmured as she walked over.
My vision turned pitch-black, but I clearly heard her muttering to herself.
"Lin Yan, don't blame me for this, your brother is my brother too, I had no choice but to do this to protect him."
"Rest assured, I'll report everything truthfully to the police and let them find the one who killed you."
"You can watch over us from above."
This damned woman!
My soul drifted in the air, hearing her say these words, I couldn't believe it!
It was the person I trusted most, who personally pushed me into the abyss of cyber violence!
Before the incident, I was busy with my work, oblivious to the online gossip, until one night, countless calls and texts bombarded my phone, and when I saw the trending topic, I discovered that someone exposed me as a scumbag who forced countless naive girls to abort, tricking them into losing everything.
On some platforms, someone even posted my personal information.
"Ladies, this is the scumbag's info! Those near him, keep vigilant, we mustn't let such a man roam free!"
Although I reported to the police immediately and received protection from them, the endless insults terrified me, someone even ordered mourning clothes and paper effigies used for the dead online and sent them to me, threatening to kill me in the enclosed message.
Shortly after reporting to the police, people showed up at my parents' and my house, cursing loudly; the situation escalated so severely that even distant relatives and friends who hadn't contacted me in ages were affected, calling to condemn my actions.
I felt helpless, yet there was nothing I could do but quietly await the police investigation results at home.
During this time, I did try to contact Du Xiaojia, but she seemed indifferent, even spared the time to go out shopping for clothes with her brother; if not for seeing the photo in her social media circle, I wouldn't have known how long I'd be kept in the dark.
Sometimes I really doubted if I was her boyfriend or if it was her brother, now facing such unfounded public attacks, she could still take her brother out shopping without a care, even using my money!
The truth hadn't been uncovered, yet the victims' families came to my door and beat me to death.
Afterwards, came that scene of Du Xiaojia murmuring in front of my corpse.
Now opening my eyes, I've returned to a week before being killed, at this time my personal privacy had already been exposed, and Du Xiaojia had placed it in the "Crusade Against Scumbags" forum, garnering millions of views.
"This damned woman!"
I cursed angrily, threw on a jacket, and drove off to the police station.
Heaven gave me a chance to relive my life, I mustn't make the same mistake again!
This time, I'll make those two pay dearly!
