Sohow, Jia could instinctively feel where this was going and so did Mingshen.
Yibo said, "We were totally shocked upon seeing her. Nobody expected her to be working as a dancer in a club. We asked Yong about it, and she said she worked part-ti there. She looked hot in that getup, I must say," he chuckled.
Yong wore a stoic look.
"So you asked Yong to dance for you?" Jia asked.
"Of course. That’s what we booked her for and that was her job. But before she arrived, Anhe said that it would be fun to pull a prank on her and that was for Jinping, Aang and I to dance with her and get a little touchy here and there. I an why not? Yong must be used to dancing with n all the ti, right? We would dance with her and Anhe was recording our party ti."
With a chilly gaze, Jia stared at Anhe, expressing her fury.
Aang gritted his teeth. "Before anybody judges , I wasn’t interested in this shit at all. It was Anhe who was being too pushy for us to dance with Yong."
Jinping exclaid. "Sa here! I e-even tried to deter Anhe saying that Yong would definitely hate it. She might even raise a harassnt complaint against us but..."
Daxia was quick to notice Shilin’s expression becoming uncomfortable with this revelation. She stamred. "I too was against it really. I an I am a girl. I knew how u-uncomfortable Yong would feel if sothing like this happens...but Anhe said it was just a prank."
Anhe angrily laughed. "You all...so great. You are all so quick to backstab , don’t you! We all agreed that it was just fun and now-"
"It wasn’t fun, damn it!" Aang clenched his jaw. "You were basically acting like a tyrannical ruler. Only this dumb Yibo was drooling at Yong. Jinping and I had no interest in doing this farce but you forced us!"
"Who the hell are you calling dumb!" Yibo lashed out.
Mingshen blew air at his nails, not mincing his words at all. "So the victim right here in this ward crying of a sexual assault enjoys seeing harassnt of other won but her own."
He smiled down at her. "Please refresh my dictionary. What are people like you called?"
Mrs. Geng ca to her defense. "This is all idiocy! Like Yibo said, it was just a harmless prank!"
Jia rained heavy daggers at the mother. "Excuse ? You call your daughter planning the guys to forcibly dance and touch a woman as a harmless prank? I don’t know how well aware you are of the law, Mam, but this IS considered harassnt.
Touching, dancing or any kind of physical contact without consent is a cri. This could scar a woman ntally for life. Look at Anhe’s state right now and tell how she looks like to you? Will you believe this nonsense if that culprit now says that it was just a prank in the maze?"
They froze, finding their tongue twisted to answer. Anhe’s face turned extrely red with humiliation.
"See, I told you Spicy, this woman is illiterate!" Mingshen raised his protest. "Before she was showing all attitude towards the doctor she pushed and hurt and now uttering such senseless things. She doesn’t know basic stuff about dicine and now about the law too," he looked at Mrs. Geng with lant. "I believe you are the one who needs to go to a good university. Did you perhaps miss college in between?"
"You..." her expression distorted with embarrassnt.
Jia then brought her attention on Mr. Geng. "So I assu that Yong ca to you with this complaint, but you didn’t take any action against Anhe or the guys, right? On the contrary, the victim herself was suspended."
"Inspector Song, you are misunderstanding. Anhe told that Yong was blowing this whole thing out of proportion. I tried to make Yong understand, but she kept rebelling!"
"Will you say the sa thing now to your own daughter? That she is blowing everything out of proportion that has happened to her today?"
"Y-you are comparing two different things altogether!"
"I am comparing the gravity of exactly two sa situations here," she barked. "You are the one who showed bias and acted so repulsively when you were the principal of the college. Students look up to you for guidance and support and instead you give them suspensions if it’s not to your favor."
She then glared at Anhe. "And you, Anhe. For the record, I also know how you are threatening Aang with those videos or how you faked your injury last year to fra another student, Li Beiye, who was similarly suspended like Yong. Your history isn’t so clean for to be able to readily believe your claims."
"Wait what videos are you talking about?" Mr. Geng was confused.
"I-It’s nothing, Dad!" Anhe held his hand, nervously smiling. "Just so silly stuff..."
Aang narrowed his eyes, studying her panicked response. Weighing his options, he himself said after a mont, "Why are you so afraid now, Anhe? You didn’t look so skittish all that ti you made dance around your will because you had recorded our sex acts."
She froze hard.
"What nonsense! Sex...acts?" Mrs. Geng covered her mouth with a loud gasp.
"Aang!" Mr. Geng retaliated. "I will make your life miserable if you spout nonsense against my daughter! She would never indulge herself in such shaful acts!"
Aang sneered. "Why don’t you ask her that yourself? How we enjoyed sleeping together but when I wanted out, she threw the videos at my face, threatening with a rape charge."
"I...!"
"This cannot be true, right Anhe?" Mrs. Geng asked with disbelief.
"No, Mom! Aang and I were never like that!"
Suddenly, Daxia spoke amidst this heated air of confrontation. "I am the s-sa..."
Jia furrowed her brows. "Sa?"
She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. "Actually Anhe has a similar vi-video of mine where she recorded sh-shoplifting...I am not really proud of it b-but sotis I have shoplifted things I need. The financial situation at my ho is barely sufficient so sotis I do it. Anhe approached to beco my friend one day, and I was really so happy. She was the principal’s daughter too. I felt special that she wanted as a friend...
But things changed when Beiye entered our group. I loved spending ti with her too. She is really smart and beautiful and so cool. But one day Anhe called privately and showed the video of shoplifting," her shoulders trembled hard. "She told to keep my distance from Beiye otherwise...I didn’t understand why Anhe didn’t like her when she brought her in our group in the first place."
She sniffled. "But I was terrified. If I got expelled because of this video, I would be dood. Mom and Dad have worked so hard for to go to college. Mom gets so sick at tis too...All the money, effort, everything...would go to waste..."
"Daxia, you...!" Anhe almost threw the pillow at her before Jia ca in between and made her back off.
"That is enough."
