Chapter 145 Unbridled
She originally thought that she could still maintain a bit of dignity in front of Shen Zhuyi, but after seeing the performance of these men, she knew that it was impossible.
Even if Chen Zhuyi hadn't made a fuss this time, the reputation of their Youth League Home would have been completely ruined, and no one would be willing to come and save her.
A trace of pain surged in her heart. Shen Wantang held her head with both hands and pulled her hair dejectedly. Her tears fell on the quilt, as if all her energy had been drained away.
Niu Chenggong next to her had murderous eyes, and he wished he could tear her into pieces right now.
"So, you all plead guilty?" Ye Xumei asked directly without exchanging pleasantries with them.
Chen Wantang lowered his head and remained silent. He was extremely disgusted with the evil of Li Yu, but when he thought that the fairness and justice he wanted was obtained with the help of Chen Zhuyi, he felt annoyed.
"She did all these things willingly. What crime have we committed?" Dong Wencai's eyes moved quickly. A rather sinister plan came to his mind at this moment. He stiffened his neck.
"It's not like we didn't try to stop her, but we couldn't resist her tearful requests. We, grown men, are always the softest-hearted."
As soon as these words were spoken, the educated youth around him finally realized that there was a way to break the deadlock. They all nodded at once, wanting to push all the responsibility away.
"A good girl, instead of thinking about making money through legitimate business, you spend all day studying such petty thefts. Comrade Shen, this is your sister!"
Niu Chenggong also reacted immediately and spoke loudly.
Shen Wantang, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but sneer when he saw the men's faces changing and such a subtle performance.
"Don't treat everyone as blind. If you go against a woman's will, you can be thrown directly into jail. If you speak nicely now, there is still a glimmer of hope." Chen Zhuyi was extremely grateful that the crime of hooliganism had not been completely abolished yet.
All of these men, every one of them, must be arrested!
"You are talking nonsense just to plot with your sister to murder us. You girls may look innocent, but each of you has a lot of cunning schemes." Niu Chenggong's old face flushed red, and he was now shirking responsibility without caring about anything.
"Then we can only call the police and see who needs to bear more responsibility."
Chen Zhuyi didn't waste time talking to them and immediately proposed a suitable solution.
But the other men here looked unhappy.
If we really call the police, this matter will not be resolved. These men will definitely suffer. Of course, we can't let them do this!
"We heard that there are girls selling their bodies here, so we came here to investigate. Such outrageous things must not happen in the village!"
The man in the lead made Chen Zhuyi feel vaguely familiar. After a pause, he suddenly realized that this was the husband of Cheng Da's wife.
The eldest brother of the Cheng family stood here and his voice became more generous, as if he had become the embodiment of justice.
This shameless attitude made the dissatisfaction in Niu Chenggong's eyes even stronger. He truly understood what it meant to have no place to complain when there was injustice.
"You are talking nonsense. Who bribed you?" Niu Chenggong and Dong Wencai immediately questioned. They seemed to be trying to drag everyone into the water by their own strength.
"Thank you all, brothers, for coming here to help us today. We are also very indignant about this situation. We hope you can come with us and expose the actions of this criminal to the public."
As Chen Zhuyi spoke, he bowed slightly and took the initiative to express his gratitude to them.
Niu Chenggong's face became even uglier, and the other educated youths' faces turned pale, and they also subconsciously wanted to shirk responsibility.
"We didn't mean to go too far... It was all Niu Chenggong and the others who instigated it. We... just said a few words at most." The other educated youth explained, then retreated and hid aside, making it clear that they didn't want these troubles to bother them.
As the leader of these educated youth, Niu Chenggong could not get any benefits when everyone was doing well, but... if anyone was doing bad, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Ye Xumei didn't bother to be polite with him and took the initiative to say, "Since that's the case, then everyone, come with me."
With so many people testifying, even if Niu Chenggong had countless excuses, he could only honestly plead guilty at this moment. His eyes were filled with strong reluctance.
"I don't want this matter to get too big." Shen Wantang looked at Shen Zhuyi's face and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and spoke softly.
Although there was some resentment in her eyes, she had to consider her reputation more. If what happened today was spread out, even if it was recorded in the book, she would not be able to face her relatives in the future.
When Chen Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. No matter what, what Chen Wantang said was indeed reasonable.
She is a girl and will get married in the future. She shouldn't ruin herself with this group of people.
"Okay, then pack your things now. I'll help you arrange to leave. Don't come here again."
Chen Zhuyi simply planned her future.
However, Shen Wantang seemed to remember their fragile sisterhood at this moment. She finally couldn't help but reach out and try to hold Shen Zhuyi's fingers. A hint of pleading gradually appeared in her eyes: "Can you... take me home?"
This request was not excessive. Besides, Chen Zhuyi had originally planned to go back with Huo Jinzhi, but not now.
"Also, before I leave, can I stay at your house temporarily?" Chen Wantang's face had flushed red. She knew clearly that she shouldn't do this, but she still couldn't help but ask this.
Now, she has no way of living in this gathering place for educated youth.
"I don't care. We have extra rooms. But don't think you can do whatever you want just because you come in. You also have things to do. We don't accept freeloaders here." Ye Xumei knew that Chen Zhu would be soft-hearted in a while, so he just made the decision, but stated the conditions.
When Shen Zhu said these words, she seemed like a mean sister, but Ye Xumei had no concerns, and Shen Wantang nodded delicately.
"Put aside all those little thoughts of yours, otherwise if I find out, you'll be prepared to pay the price!" Ye Xumei helped her pack her things skillfully, but his tone was not polite and he spoke frankly.
Chen Wantang didn't have many things with him, so he just packed up and was ready to leave.
