Han Ming then explained the matter to Liang Jianxing and the others.

After Han Ming finished speaking, the group roughly understood the situation.

It was obvious that the three thugs, lustful at first sight, intended to rape Liang Qi, but Han Ming and his group happened to be there and prevented the tragedy from happening.

However, the nature of the matter is clearly egregious, yet we cannot ignore other aspects.

Officer Zhou mentioned that a similar incident had occurred in the town a few years ago.

A young female factory worker was working overtime one night. On her way back to her rented room, she was dragged into a nearby grove by two thugs who intended to rape her.

Unexpectedly, a coworker who was leaving get off work saw them and called for help. They beat the two thugs up and took them to the police station.

The female worker was fine; her clothes were torn, but thankfully she wasn't raped. However, the final development of events was beyond everyone's expectations.

The rumors eventually spread that the female worker had been raped by the two men, and that she later became pregnant and miscarried.

The female worker was just a young girl, and she hadn't experienced much in her youth. How could she withstand such pressure, being pointed at and gossiped about wherever she went?

At first, some young men in the factory had a crush on her, but eventually no one wanted to talk to her anymore.

The little girl couldn't understand why she had to bear so much pressure when she was clearly the victim and hadn't been violated.

In a moment of despair, he jumped from the fourth floor of the factory, leaving behind only a suicide note demanding that the doctor clear his name.

Whether the outcome was happy or sad, the forensic examination clearly showed that the girl was still a virgin.

Liang Jianxing remained silent, burying his head in his cigarette.

I have a deep-seated hatred for such crimes and wish that those three villains would be brought to justice immediately.

But we can't ignore our daughter's reputation. Even if she wasn't harmed by bad people, who can guarantee how it will be spread if this gets out?

The story of the female worker who jumped off the building caused a huge uproar a few years ago; everyone in the town knew about it.

Now that her own daughter is facing the same problem, she's truly at a loss, so all she can do is sit beside her and cry.

Liang Qi, the person involved, was completely lost at this point. Han Ming saw that she was trembling and guessed that she was terrified.

He must be regretting it now. If he hadn't acted impulsively and wandered around outside, this wouldn't have happened.

"I must learn from this experience," Han Ming sighed inwardly.

In the end, Liang Jianxing spoke up. After consideration, they decided to put the matter aside for now.

However, before leaving, Lao Zhou whispered something in Liang Jianxing's ear, saying that he must find a reason to lock up those three guys for a while, and that there must be some way to deal with them.

Seeing that things had come to a conclusion and considering the atmosphere in the room, Han Ming felt it wasn't appropriate to stay any longer. He said a few words of comfort and then took his leave with Dong Xiaolu.

Liang Jianxing and Pan Yue knew that if it weren't for the young couple's help, things would have turned out very differently. So, after expressing their deepest gratitude, they saw Han Ming and his companion out of their house.

The two walked home. It was getting late, so they should go home early to avoid worrying Han Ming's parents.

Han Ming, who was walking, suddenly stopped and grabbed Dong Xiaolu's shoulders very seriously, saying:

"Xiaolu, promise me you won't run off by yourself anymore."

Dong Xiaolu was taken aback, then her heart was filled with happiness. Han Ming then said:

“You’re not allowed to come all the way from the provincial capital alone like you did yesterday. There are too many dangerous factors outside now.”

Dong Xiaolu, hearing Han Ming's earnest words and not wanting her boyfriend to be pessimistic, jokingly said:

"Does that mean you don't need me to come see you anymore?"

Han Ming shook his head repeatedly:

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Seeing her boyfriend's silly expression, Dong Xiaolu chuckled, gently took Han Ming's arm, and said:

"From now on, when I travel, I'll ask you to pick me up at the station. If I go on a long trip, I'll take you with me and protect me. How about that? Can you do that?"

"Yes, definitely, we guarantee to complete the mission."

Han Ming answered decisively.

The journey was uneventful, and the two returned to Han Ming's house. When they opened the door, they saw that the living room light was still on, and Han Ming saw that his mother was still waiting in the living room.

I looked at the clock; it was already past 10 p.m.

Han Ming asked his mother why she wasn't asleep yet, and Chen Fang replied that she couldn't sleep because her son and daughter-in-law weren't coming home.

Besides, I still need to talk to Dong Xiaolu about washing up.

Chen Fang pulled Dong Xiaolu to see the cleaned-up guest rooms, and Han Ming shamelessly sidled in as well.

Mom prepared brand new toiletries for Dong Xiaolu, including a new towel and toothbrush. She even brought out a new set of pajamas for her in case she didn't have any.

I don't know when my mom bought it from the street. She washed it and dried it in the afternoon sun. Now she brought it to Dong Xiaolu, which made Dong Xiaolu feel warm.

She thought to herself that she used to see videos online of wicked mothers-in-law bullying kind daughters-in-law, but her future mother-in-law was a very good person, no less so than her own mother.

Thinking this, her face flushed red. Dong Xiaolu thought to herself, "Why do I keep thinking about marrying Han Ming? Aren't I ashamed?"

Even Han Ming, a voyeur, couldn't peep at his girlfriend while she was showering. Seeing that everything was ready, he and his mother left the room.

Before leaving, he reminded his girlfriend to go to bed early and said he would take her to eat Xiaqiao Town's specialty breakfast: fried dough sticks and tofu soup the next morning.

Chen Fang had intended to say that she would prepare breakfast, but seeing her son and future daughter-in-law looking so sweet together, she let them be.
