"Yes, there is no evidence. Moreover, I'm not sure that Madam Hua Ershao would agree to expose it." Li Xi pouted, feeling worried.

"If you want to know if she agrees, just ask her directly."

"Why ask? In her current condition, her family must be protecting her very well. How can I, a stranger, meet her?" Li Xi curled her lips, not happy.

"Second Young Master Hua's wife is either recuperating at home or in a nursing home. Assistant Jiang, check it out," Luo Jingxuan instructed him casually, completely forgetting that their current topic of conversation was gossip and had nothing to do with his company. He didn't explain to Li Xi whether he was worried about the Hua family's problems. But he clearly wasn't. In front of the villainous boss, aside from Shen Zhou, who had the aura of a protagonist (how much of that aura he still had, given the current developments, was a mystery(???)), everyone else was nothing.

"Okay, boss." Assistant Jiang switched to work mode in a second, completely forgetting that he had to defend his vacation to the death just a second ago.

Li Xi was clearly arranged, and she originally wanted to say that she could actually ask Mian Lao Si for help. In the end, she couldn't bear to reject their kindness and let them do as they pleased.

The three of them didn't talk much after that. Assistant Jiang, momentarily distracted, accepted the assignment and quickly excused himself. Only after leaving the villa did he remember that he'd previously vowed to defend his vacation, so how could he have accepted another job just after dinner? Haha.

Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan didn't hang around for long. One went back to the office to work, and the other went back to the room to contact his friends.

Su Yu was busy, so Li Xi sent her a text message, briefly explaining the incident and asking her to call back when she had time. As for Mian Lao Si, she tasked him with investigating Hua Er Shao's past and asking the people around him what they thought of him.

She began to search extensively online for news and self-media articles about domestic violence.

The more I read, the more uncomfortable and infuriating I become. Domestic violence is becoming increasingly common these days (it's possible there were more cases before, but they were less publicized). The methods are endless: violence, silent abuse, mental oppression, marital rape, and so on. It leaves victims with indelible pain, both physically and mentally.

The most frustrating thing is that, despite many victims filing for divorce, claiming domestic violence has led to a breakdown in their relationship, few divorces are successful. In the legal system, the principle of "whoever claims, whoever proves" applies. In other words, if you claim domestic violence, you must provide evidence, including videos, photos, and injury reports.

However, China's Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations and Criminal Law stipulate that minor injuries can be punished by public security. However, minor or serious injuries fall under the scope of criminal law. In other words, if you are injured and someone hits you, it won't necessarily be classified as domestic violence, but rather a public security or criminal incident.

To put it bluntly, judging by the resulting injuries, it's difficult for victims to prove that the breakdown of their relationship was due to domestic violence. Furthermore, because everyone's psychological tolerance varies, calculating the amount of emotional distress required by the Marriage Law is even more difficult. Even if the victim suffers from psychological trauma due to the assault, the perpetrator can easily argue that they simply can't handle it well and that they weren't really violent. This makes it impossible to accuse the perpetrator of emotional abuse, and thus, the case doesn't constitute domestic violence.

You see, proving domestic violence is very difficult.

On the other hand, victims of domestic violence suffer both physical and mental damage, so how could they possibly have the energy or courage to testify on their own? Could they have installed cameras in the room to deliberately provoke violence?

If you injure the enemy by one thousand, you will lose eight hundred of your own.

So, girls, we must learn to stop losses in time and learn to protect ourselves.

There are only zero and countless instances of domestic violence. Once your partner hits you, don't tolerate it, and don't even think about forgiving them. If you can, fight back directly. If you can't, avoid it for now. Afterward, call the police. You can also apply for a personal safety protection order from the People's Court. Even if you can't be convicted, it can still protect your safety. Then, slowly prepare for separation.

Don't be nostalgic! Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are also hard to find. Why hang yourself on a domestic violence man?
