Chapter 694 Who is the Victim?
Whether the man was frightened or not, he just stood there motionless.
The other girl who was slapped was so anxious that she paced around in circles. In the end, she probably had no other choice but to jump down as well.
Logically speaking, since both of them fell into the water, even if the man didn't jump in to save them, he should have called for help to attract the attention of passersby and make it easier to rescue them.
But he didn't. He stood by and watched the two girls struggling in the water, then turned and ran away.
That's right, he turned and ran!
Those watching the video were completely bewildered. He ran away? He just ran away like that? If he ran away, then who was the drowning man?
Their doubts were quickly answered. About half a minute later, a figure appeared from the corner in the opposite direction from where the man had left, and slowly walked towards the spot where the two girls had fallen into the water.
Then, perhaps hearing the two girls' cries for help, the man paused, looked around, and then, possibly spotting the two people in the river, threw his bag aside and quickly jumped into the water to help rescue them.
The river was swift and strong, and several times the people in the water were disoriented, making everyone watching extremely worried and holding their breath in suspense.
After struggling for another minute or two, one of the girls finally managed to get ashore and hurriedly went back to pull the other girl up.
With the help of the two people, one above and one below, the other girl slowly climbed ashore. Suddenly, a big wave hit, and the man who was still in the river was swept far away by the wave and completely lost his balance.
The video ended abruptly there. Those who watched the whole thing instinctively hoped that the brave man who went into the water to save people would be safe and sound. But the bloody reality told them that he was dead, dead in the prime of his life, leaving this world hastily with countless regrets and his good intentions.
After his death, the two girls he saved at the cost of his life, out of fear of being burdened with the responsibility of taking a life, never mentioned his kindness to them, but instead slandered and defamed him.
Netizens were outraged; they were already angry just from reading the text description.
The visual impact is always more powerful than words.
Their shock, regret, disappointment, and sadness ultimately turned into heartache and pity for the man, as well as anger and condemnation towards the other two parties involved.
[Oh my god, it's true! How could they bear to do it? How could they be so heartless? He's their savior!]
The man who fled in panic stood in stark contrast to the young man who unhesitatingly dropped his bag and jumped into the water to save the person. But thinking about what happened to the young man breaks my heart. He was a warm-hearted, kind, and virtuous young man; his good intentions were met with betrayal after his death by the very person he saved. He was so good, yet his life was so tragic. Why must good people suffer such fates?
"Where are those two bitches? I may be a scoundrel, but I never hit women. However, this time I really want to slap those two women a few times. I've known about this for eight years; I saw the video of those two women being interviewed back then."
One of the women looked pretentious, like a typical "green tea" type. She cried while saying she'd been harassed in the middle of the night, was terrified, and almost drowned because of it, looking quite shaken. The other woman, the one from the video a few days ago, timidly hid behind her. She didn't say anything, but every time a reporter asked her if her friend's account was true, she nodded. Although she didn't speak, she had already said everything.
I actually believed them at the time, but now I just want to ask them: judging by that gentleman's walking speed, he was at least a hundred meters away from you when you fell into the water. At that distance, you're saying he was harassing you, touching you inappropriately, hugging and groping you, and then it turns out he was just flirting with you from afar?
[Wasn't there a man at the beginning? Could they have been too nervous and confused that man with the one who came later?]
Although it was indeed excessive for the man to run away at the crucial moment, leaving the two girls to drown, I still have to say something in his defense. When he was around, one of the girls tried to seduce him several times, but he refused. It's crystal clear that even if someone was harassing another woman, it should have been the woman harassing the man, not the other way around!
[Yes, those three people clearly knew each other; there's no possibility of them mistaking one for the other. The guy who arrived later was the real bystander, but he ended up risking his life to save someone and then getting smeared. It's infuriating just thinking about it.]
[Of the four people in the video, aside from the young man who died, is anyone innocent? The man who initially pushed the person into the water did nothing and just ran away. If the young man hadn't intervened, would he have become a murderer? Thinking about it that way, the young man's death is also inextricably linked to him!]
[That's right, the instigator. None of them are good people. Didn't we say before that this was related to the young master of the Xun family, and one of the women was his girlfriend at the time? So, could this man be that young master of the Xun family?]
Wow, blind student, you've hit the nail on the head!
[...]
Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. Present solid evidence, and all the excuses and denials will be in vain.
Li Weiming and the others watched as things took a sharp turn for the worse, then suddenly took another sharp turn for the better. Their feelings were like a rollercoaster ride—exciting, nerve-wracking, and incredibly complex.
But regardless, the appearance of this video did indeed save them from danger.
"Who posted this video? Or rather, who found it?"
After Li Weiming said this, the room fell into a deathly silence. No one spoke, clearly indicating that they had not found the item, nor had the person they had asked to find it.
"The video was posted by a newly registered account, but it was posted so easily that everyone saw it and it quickly rose to the top of the trending list. It's definitely not a simple account."
These people had considered looking for that surveillance footage before, but firstly, the location was quite remote, and they figured it was pointless to waste money installing cameras there. Secondly, it had been so long; even if there were cameras in the area, they would likely have been overwritten by now.
So they searched for a long time but couldn't find this crucial evidence. In the end, they had to settle for second best and force Fan Xiaoli to come forward and confess her "crime".
"Do you think this alternate account might belong to Miss Ye...?"
