Chapter 143 A winning hand that started off perfectly was played terribly.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The men casually tied up the weak, nearly unconscious man and tossed him aside, then sat quietly in the room waiting for the police to arrive.
While waiting, everyone was curious about what Xie Lin meant by what he had just said.
What is meant by group sex?
Is it what they think?
But... that's just too unbelievable, isn't it?
Shen Yanci appears to be a handsome and talented man, gentle and polite. It's no wonder he's so popular with girls after spending three years at Peking University.
If it weren't for what has happened recently, they might still be in the dark.
Especially Ji Siyu, who used to have a soft spot for him and pursued him for three years before finally getting her wish, shattered her illusions about Shen Yanci in just two months.
That's quite a blow.
Xie Lin looked at their eager eyes, his gaze lingering on Si Yue's face for a second, and then smiled slightly: "Ask whatever you want."
Si Yue immediately raised her hand: "Report! Please provide a detailed explanation."
"Add one, my thirst for knowledge has now reached its peak."
"Actually, I'm still a little stunned. I really couldn't tell he was that kind of person."
Qi Feng looked at Ji Siyu with concern: "Are you alright?"
Ji Siyu shrugged and said with relief, "It's alright, just consider it as finding a gigolo."
Everyone: "..."
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. However, this is just too rough!
"To be honest, I was quite surprised when Jinzhao sent me those documents."
"After all, we were in the same major for three years, and I had no idea he was having such a wild time outside."
Xie Lin clicked his tongue, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and then said, "Have you ever heard of selecting concubines?"
The group looked completely bewildered.
What does that mean?
"It's a group of rich people sitting together choosing girls they find attractive, then having sex with them, all consensual, and those girls can gain resources, money, or connections."
"All the girls' photos and information were compiled into a document, making it convenient for wealthy people to choose at any time, just like HR screening resumes for interviewees, selecting whoever they like."
"It's like the emperor and his concubines in ancient times, choosing someone to serve him in bed."
"According to the information we found, Shen Yanci was already one of these people when he was a freshman."
"..."
The news was so explosive that everyone was momentarily stunned and couldn't quite process it.
The air was deathly still.
What the hell is this?!
You can play it like this?
Are the circles of the wealthy really this chaotic?
This is terrifying!
The three girls all looked very unhappy.
Isn't this treating women as commodities to be bought and sold?
This is utterly inhumane!
Si Yue glanced at the man in the corner with disgust and spat, "He doesn't do anything that involves people."
"Can't you just pat it with your slippers if it's so itchy?"
The group: "..."
Okay, if you say any more, we can't broadcast it.
Xie Lin smiled helplessly, rubbing his forehead, and said nothing.
Le Wanqing's expression was complicated: "Isn't he afraid of getting sick?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Siyu pursed her lips.
She had a relationship with Shen Yanci. At the time, he was gentle and considerate, and his actions showed little sign of inexperience.
At that time, she thought that the other person was also a virgin, just like him.
Now it seems that it was all an act, done on purpose to avoid arousing her suspicion.
Thinking about this, she felt worse than if she had eaten shit.
Not only that, she was also a little afraid that Shen Yanci might infect her with something unclean.
She will go to the hospital for a check-up first thing tomorrow morning.
Xie Lin's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Do you think people like them wouldn't think of this? If they get sick, they'll panic more than anyone else."
Qi Feng clicked his tongue. "This is a serious crime. I guess he'll get a long sentence, right?"
Si Yue is a law student, and she knows that.
"It's not just a few years. Kidnapping, attempted rape, and group sex are all serious crimes under the criminal law. If you are convicted of multiple crimes, you will most likely spend half your life in prison."
Qi Feng blinked and leaned forward: "Multiple offenses punished concurrently? That means each offense is punished individually, and then the sentences are added together?"
"Yes, but not entirely; it must be handled according to the rules of concurrent punishment stipulated by law."
Si Yue explained clearly, “Article 239 of the Criminal Law clearly states that anyone who kidnaps another person for the purpose of extorting money or takes another person hostage shall be sentenced to imprisonment for ten years or more, or life imprisonment.”
“As long as Shen Yanci participated in the key link of ‘controlling the personal freedom of the victim,’ regardless of the reason, it constitutes a completed kidnapping.”
Qi Feng's eyes widened in surprise. "Ten years as a minimum? What about attempted rape?"
Si Yue sneered, "Rapists belong to the lowest level of criminals. Many other prisoners despise such people and may even deliberately make things difficult for them."
She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, her tone tinged with coldness: "As for attempted rape, the statutory penalty is to be lighter or reduced compared to a completed rape, but it also depends on the circumstances."
"If the methods are egregious, they can still get a three- to five-year sentence. Not to mention, the days inside are much more grueling than the sentence itself."
Qi Feng rubbed his chin and sighed, "That sounds a bit tragic."
Is it tragic?
Si Yue raised an eyebrow, her eyes devoid of warmth. "Compared to the shadows that the victims may never be able to erase for the rest of their lives, this price is light."
Le Wanqing nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
"I think he got off too easy."
Xie Lin said casually, "These are not things we should worry about."
"Anyway, his life is ruined."
"With the He and Song families involved, even if the Shen family wants to pull strings to get a reduced sentence, it will probably be very difficult."
The others nodded in agreement with his statement.
Indeed, given the situation tonight, neither He Jinzhao nor the Song couple will let Shen Yanci go.
Xie Lin lowered his eyes; in fact, he hadn't finished speaking.
Given He Jinzhao's personality, Shen Yanci's days are likely to be very difficult.
There's also a real possibility... they'll die inside.
He shook his head, unsure how to comment.
A winning hand that started off perfectly was played terribly.
—
The police arrived on time and took Shen Yanci away.
Because Song Shiyi is not in good condition right now, and it is already very late, it is not convenient to take a statement, so we will discuss it again tomorrow.
The Song couple breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that their daughter was safe and sound. They wanted to go visit her, but Xie Lin persuaded them to turn back in time.
It is said that Song Shiyi was too frightened and was resting, and He Jinzhao was taking care of her.
It's getting late; we can go tomorrow.
The rest of them will stay by her side, so there's no need to worry.
Xie Lin was thinking, he had done He Jinzhao such a big favor, what should he ask for in return?
Hmm... that's a problem.
The Shen couple never expected that they were just attending a banquet.
Their son is gone.
But no one can be blamed for this. The Song family, with whom they had a good relationship, were too ashamed to ask for their forgiveness.
But Shen Yanci is their only son. What will they do if he gets arrested?
After much deliberation, I decided to go to Song Shiyi tomorrow to plead for mercy.
So they left too.
The rest of the people went back to their rooms. So much had happened tonight, and everyone's nerves had been on edge the whole time. Now that things had finally come to an end, everyone felt a little tired.
Everyone said their goodbyes and went back to their rooms to rest.
