Another woman rushed over, raising her fist and slapping Mo Huaixing, "Why didn't you save my husband? Just because my husband isn't your girlfriend? How could you be so heartless? How are we, a widow and her child, supposed to live?"

Behind her were two children, a boy and a girl, both around eight or nine years old, who joined their mother in punching and kicking Mo Huaixing.

Gan Tang remembered that this was a relative of the man Fu Shaojie had beaten to death. Looking at Mo Huaixing, who was being beaten but didn't fight back at all, she was furious. She shoved the woman away and angrily said, "Aren't you alive and well now?"

The reporter's flashes captured the scene.

Security personnel came out and dispersed the crowd of onlookers.

Gan Tang pulled Mo Huaixing away. As they turned the corner, she glanced back and asked in a trembling voice, "Was it him?"

Mo Huaixing shook his head. "Since he wants me to go back willingly, he shouldn't arrange for anyone to make things difficult for me. Besides, if things get too big and an investigation team is sent, it won't do him any good either."

Yes, there's no need to plan it out; this world is never short of malice.

The incident quickly went viral online. Without the Lu Group's help to remove it from the trending topics, this time the news spread rapidly. Gan Tang's arrogant and domineering demeanor was displayed in a menacing manner in the media's cameras. Her single sentence was irrefutable evidence of her mockery of the victim.

None of those people knew the truth, yet the condemnation, insults, and abuse came pouring in, escalating rapidly. Her single sentence became a viral meme, widely used and parodied online.

Mo Huaixing, who was also involved, was in no better shape. In fact, because of his special status, the calls for him to take off his police uniform grew louder and louder.

As expected, Mo Huaixing was summoned away.

Gan Tang prepared a hot meal in their rented room, waiting for him to return, but he didn't come back until after midnight. The next day, he still didn't return. On the third day, when the hot meal had gone cold again, the doorbell rang.

"Mo Huaixing!"

Gan Tang happily ran out to open the door and saw a face she had only met once before, and for a moment she dared not recognize it.

"Hello," Wei Ming greeted politely. "I initially thought you were Heng's girlfriend, but I never imagined you were Yi's girlfriend."

"Please come in." Gan Tang hurriedly tidied up the things on the sofa. "The house is a bit messy, please make yourself at home."

Two sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed on the dining table next to him. Wei Ming glanced at them and sat down along the edge of the sofa. "The captain is fine. He lives at the bureau."

"Go ahead and say it, it's nothing." Gan Tang placed a cup of hot water in front of him and sat down. She knew he couldn't have just come to let her know he was safe.

Sure enough, Wei Ming was no longer as awkward as before, and his whole body was filled with a resolute determination to face death. "Brother Yi got into an argument with his superiors. In order to quell public anger, the bureau has decided to fire him."

Gan Tang sneered, "What do you want him to do? To distance himself from me?"

"This matter is hard to explain. Can you bear to watch him take off his police uniform for you? As long as you declare that you are not Brother Yi's girlfriend, the rumors will fall apart on their own."

"I understand, no need to see me out." Gan Tang got up and went back to her bedroom.

"Sister-in-law, please help Yi-ge." Wei Ming couldn't understand Gan Tang's decision and stood up excitedly.

"The captain was the best student in our class, no, in our entire school. After graduation, he could have chosen any enviable department, but he chose to become the most dangerous narcotics officer. While we were having tea in the office, he was risking his life against drug dealers. Later, he even faked his death for five years and stayed in the drug dealers' den."

Over the years, even I, his worst student, have been promoted two grades, but his rank remains exactly the same as when he left school.

Now, he's finally back, and his glory is just beginning. Can you bear to see him ruin his bright and promising life for you?

Gan Tang tilted her head back, forcing back her tears: "I'll post it today, okay?"

"You just post whatever someone tells you to post? Are you stupid?" Tian Tian took off her shoulder bag and smacked Gan Tang on the head. She had seen the video online and rushed over after work, only to find Gan Tang sitting alone on the balcony, hugging her legs and crying. She was so angry that she kicked her again.

"Ouch!" Gan Tang rubbed her bottom and looked again at the myriad lights outside the balcony.

Tian Tian sat cross-legged and reached for her phone, saying, "Delete it, delete it for me."

Gan Tang gripped her phone tightly. "Tian Tian, ​​stop messing around. I've thought it through."

As soon as she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

“If it were before, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed. Now, he has lost his father and his own name, and he cannot lose the faith for which he is willing to fight his whole life. He wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

Tian Tian felt sorry for him: "But why should you suffer like this?"

“I’m not wronged.” Gan Tang smiled at Tian Tian: “I like his eyes, they are fervent, brave, and resolute, with a compassion for all living beings. But I know that kind of gaze is not only for me, but for everyone.”

So I was afraid, so afraid that one day, greed took hold of me. I wanted that gaze to linger on me forever and ever. I couldn't think of any other way but to possess his body.

But now, I'm not afraid. I'm willing to return his gaze to the country.

"And what about you?" Tian Tian looked at her infatuated expression and was furious. "I think he's just too scared to come himself, so he sent someone else to persuade you. Ugh, what a jerk."

"Yes! I have to leave quickly, it will be troublesome if he comes back." Gan Tang hurriedly got up to pack her things. Actually, there wasn't much stuff, just a few clothes and some daily necessities, which could be packed in a small packing bag.

After tidying up, Gan Tang placed the diamond ring engraved with her name on the bed. This ring was the only thing she had taken from Qinglong Bay, and she had thought it would stay with her for a lifetime.

The knocking on the door was urgent. Tian Tian grabbed Gan Tang, who was frantically hiding, and said with disdain, "Where can you hide in such a small place?"

As he spoke, he pulled Gantang to open the door.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Gan Tang asked in shock.

Gan's mother looked at her daughter angrily, "Why don't you come home? Don't you want your parents anymore? If someone hadn't told me they saw you online, I wouldn't have known you were living with another man outside."

"Mom, why are you saying such awful things? What do you mean by 'wild man'?" Others might misunderstand him, but how could his own mother? Gan Tang was a little angry: "If it weren't for him, your daughter would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks long ago."

Mrs. Gan touched her daughter's face, her heart aching, and said, "Was it because he threatened you to satisfy his desires that he agreed to save you? No wonder you were afraid to go home. It's good that you're alive, your father and I won't..."

Gan Tang was speechless and quickly interrupted her, "You don't understand those things online, why are you looking at them?"

"Yes." Mrs. Gan came to her senses. "Aren't you Lu Zhengqian's daughter? How did you end up being kidnapped by drug dealers?"
