Hua Jingmin turned to look at the girl huddled in the corner and comforted her gently:
"It's okay. Be careful next time and don't go to remote places alone..."
Before he could finish his words, Tian Xiaotao screamed, got out, ran out of the alley, and shouted:
"Help—help—rape!"
Hua Jingmin was stunned for a moment, then chased after him and wanted to explain immediately:
"Hey—I wanted to save you, not…"
But when Tian Xiaotao saw him, she screamed even louder.
Hua Jingmin's ears were buzzing, and the rest of his words were drowned out by the scream.
Tian Xiaotao ran to the street and successfully cried out. An old lady supported Tian Xiaotao and asked:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. What happened?"
A crowd of people gathered around to watch, their eyes lingering on Tian Xiaotao and Hua Jingmin, then they turned around and whispered to each other.
Tian Xiaotao lowered her head and cried. She glanced at Hua Jingmin and said timidly, "Just now in the alley... He wanted to do this to me... Wuuwuwuwu, luckily I ran fast..."
Everyone's eyes turned stern and hateful when they looked at Hua Jingmin. Even the old lady looked at Hua Jingmin with a stern face and a bad tone.
"You look quite respectable, young man. How could you do such a shameless thing?"
Hua Jingmin was speechless, feeling that he had no way to defend himself. Looking at the condemning eyes of the crowd, his face flushed, and he hurriedly explained:
"No, that's not the case. Listen to me..."
"Pooh!"
A female comrade on the scene spat, "You dare to do it but you dare not admit it, what a rotten coward!"
Others also pointed and talked.
"Who doesn't have a daughter? If she meets someone like this out there, her life will be ruined!"
"If you ask me, rapists should be shot and die a miserable death!"
"Luckily, this girl was agile and ran out, otherwise... Oh, this guy really deserves to die!"
This was the first time Hua Jingmin was misunderstood like this. He felt wronged and sad. Seeing the ill intention in the girl's eyes and the pretended fear on her face, he became angry again.
"Since you can't explain it clearly, let's report it to the police!"
The girl's eyes were filled with panic for a moment, and then she was secretly delighted. Hua Jingmin didn't notice this and was waiting for the police to come and give him justice.
Everyone went to the nearest police station together, and Hua Jingmin saw Wan Shenghua.
Wan Shenghua saw him and was surprised: "Why are you here?"
Hua Jingmin wiped his face, feeling that he had no place to vent his bitter tears. He was too embarrassed to say anything!
When everyone saw that this person seemed to know the police from the police station, they immediately became dissatisfied and started to shout:
"This guy knows the police! It's over! The police are definitely helping this rapist!"
"I just don't believe that with so many of us, we still can't seek justice for the little girl?"
"You are not allowed to shield him!"
“…”
Hua Jingmin explained: "Just now, the little girl was surrounded by a group of hooligans. I heard her screaming for help, so I went over to help her fight them off. But she turned around and accused me of trying to rape her. I did something good, but it was wrong!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "You only believe her words, why don't you believe a word of mine?"
Tian Xiaotao tearfully said, "What good would it do me to wrongly accuse you? It would also damage my own reputation. It's obvious that you dare not admit it! If I hadn't run away, I would have to bear this loss from you, and then I wouldn't be able to explain myself even if I was right..."
These words excited everyone. What the girl said makes sense!
In this kind of situation, the woman always suffers. Is there any need for her to lie? But this man is full of excuses. Bah! What a coward!
Hua Jingmin felt wronged, and he also wanted to know why this person wronged him!
Who would have thought that helping someone would lead to a lawsuit?
"My home isn't in the city, so how would I know you? Did I come all the way to the city just to do something bad to you? I'm not just bored!"
Wan Shenghua frowned and listened for a while, then realized that his cousin was probably being plotted against.
Although his relationship with his aunt was a little distant, he still believed in the character of the other party's family. And as Hua Jingmin said, he didn't live in the city at all, so how could he meet girls from the city?
Besides, the scene where the girl was surrounded by hooligans was full of tricks.
The police officer next to him asked, "Comrade, are you going to report a crime?"
Before Tian Xiaotao could speak, everyone started chattering again.
"Isn't it obvious? Why are you asking with fake eyes?"
"Hey, why aren't you here to report the crime?"
"Need I ask? Doesn't my sister just want justice?"
"Hehe, I thought these people would protect him!"
Tian Xiaotao wiped her tears and immediately put on a shrewd look on her face: "Yes, the person next to me wanted to rape me. I hope the police will seek justice for me!"
The police quickly took Tian Xiaotao in to register.
Wan Shenghua asked the people present: "I see that this comrade's clothes are straight and smooth, with no signs of struggle. Are you sure you saw that the woman's clothes were messy at first?"
The old lady who had supported Tian Xiaotao at the beginning said, "Who would notice this? I think you are just helping your own people!"
“That’s right!”
"I think you just don't want to make the decision for this lesbian!"
As more and more people gathered and the discussion became louder, Hua Jingmin was also brought in for questioning.
Seeing that the two protagonists at the door had already gone in, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
After all, I still have to go to work.
…
After asking a round of questions, Tian Xiaotao asked cautiously:
"Can I have a few words with that person alone?"
The two police officers who were investigating the situation looked at each other and nodded.
The public security officer looked at the two people from afar. At this time, Tian Xiaotao was out of the public security officer's sight, and there was no one else on the field.
When Hua Jingmin saw Tian Xiaotao, he suppressed his anger and prepared to reason with her.
"The police won't believe your one-sided story. Once they investigate, you'll be exposed. You'd better tell the truth as soon as possible, otherwise you'll be the one getting into trouble!"
Tian Xiaotao smiled and lowered her voice: "If I insist that you want to rape me, do you think you can get away with it easily? If you want me to tell the truth, you can. Give me 100 yuan and I will tell the truth to the police."
Hua Jingmin then realized what the other party had planned. It was so shameless to slander others for rape just for money!
Not only shameless, but also ridiculous!
Hua Jingmin looked her over and sneered, "I haven't even touched you. There's no evidence to prove I intended to rape you! I want to see if the public security comrades will give me justice!"
…
It was already dark, and Hua Jingmin had not returned home yet.
Wan Qingliu felt strange: "Old Four usually doesn't stay overnight in the county, why hasn't he returned home yet?"
Hua Qingping: "Maybe he found a job and needs to deal with the onboarding process, so he's staying at Big Brother's house for a while."
Wan Qingliu always felt that something was wrong: "Isn't anything going to happen to him?"
