“I have no evidence,” the man said menacingly. “Then what about you? What evidence do you have to prove I hit someone?!”
He had a smirk on his face, but because his face was swollen from the beating, he could only squint, making him look quite comical.
Zhou Ziyu leaned closer and asked, "Did you record a video with your phone just now?"
Jiang Mian shook her head: "No."
Given how urgent the situation was, if she had taken out her phone to record a video as evidence, this girl would probably have been beaten to a pulp by this scoundrel.
The situation was urgent, and Jiang Mian didn't have time to think things through.
Her only thought at that moment was to save the girl as quickly as possible.
Liu Yitang asked nervously, "What should we do?"
Although it felt good to beat up this jerk, it would be better if he wasn't punished by law and allowed to roam freely.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so angry and resentful, I can't get it out and I feel terrible.
"I have no evidence..."
"I knew it!" the man sneered. "Running into you guys today is my bad luck!"
Despite the intimidating presence of Zhou Ziyu standing to the side, he hardened his resolve: "You have no evidence, and I have no evidence, so let's just call it even? Judging from your appearance, you must still be students. You won't get away with this even if we take it to the police station. If you give statements, you'll have criminal records. Compared to me, you're not getting the short end of the stick!"
"Oh ho?" Jiang Mian was so angry she laughed. "Should we thank you for reminding us?"
"No need for thanks, let's just leave it at that."
The man feigned reluctance, but in his heart he already harbored deep hatred for these people.
Especially that little slut hiding behind someone else!
Once he gets rid of those stupid college students, he'll definitely teach that little bitch a lesson!
He'll make up for all the injuries he sustained on himself by taking them out on this little slut!
I don't know if this guy's brain was slapped by Liu Xiaohua, can't he even understand sarcasm?
"I told you to study more, but you idiot insisted on herding cattle!"
Jiang Mian's smile faded, and she gestured to Zhou Ziyu: "He's talking too much nonsense. Tell him to shut up."
Zhou Ziyu nodded, walked over, and covered the other person's mouth.
The man made various sounds of resistance, but Zhou Ziyu coldly threatened him: "If you make another sound, I'll crush your head!"
He meant what he said, and he actually put in a bit more force into his hands.
This scoundrel is like a fox, extremely cunning. He tries to escape at the slightest provocation, and Zhou Ziyu has long since lost patience with him.
Feeling the force of that hand, the man immediately stopped making a fuss.
Ah, so it turns out he's still afraid of dying.
Jiang Mian said, "You're completely ignorant, yet you try to lie? Do you really think everyone else is as stupid as you?"
"So what if we don't have evidence? Judging from how fiercely you hit him just now, this shouldn't be your first offense, right? Take him to the police station for questioning, we'll surely find something out, or at the very least..."
She glanced at the girl behind her: "We also have medical examination reports!"
Upon hearing the words "injury report," the man immediately became excited; he wanted an injury examination too!
That punch to the stomach just now probably left him with a huge bruise!
Because Zhou Ziyu covered his mouth, the man couldn't say anything. Seeing that Jiang Mian was about to call the police, he started to panic.
He can't go back to the police station!
In an instant, drawing strength from who-knows-where, he managed to pull his hand away from Zhou Ziyu's and immediately shouted at the girl behind Jiang Mian, "Are you crazy?! Don't you want to buy medicine from me anymore?! Stop them right now!"
Jiang Mian, who was about to call the police, stopped what she was doing when she heard this.
She almost overlooked a crucial point: the victim was the girl behind her, and their actions were at most a case of helping someone in need.
It was their idea to call the police and have the man taken away.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the female victim never expressed any opinion.
Jiang Mian was unsure of what to do. Although this man was incredibly stupid and could be temporarily intimidated by the medical report, without decisive evidence, he would ultimately not be convicted.
This girl is both a victim and a crucial and valid witness!
If they go to the police station in a big way and ask the girl to come forward, what if she gets scared and backs down, or is too afraid to testify?
Then all their efforts will be in vain, and it will all turn out to be wishful thinking on their part.
Jiang Mian spoke softly to her, "You are the victim. Whether or not to call the police and have him taken away is a decision you should make."
Although she couldn't stand such violence, she was definitely not overly compassionate.
If she makes an effort, but the other party chooses to back down or be weak, then it's all for nothing.
She was able to pull someone out of the mire this time, but if the other person's resolve isn't strong enough, there's no guarantee that they won't fall into the same trap again next time, or even the time after that.
Jiang Mian was betting that if the girl said "never mind," she would just turn around and leave.
You can't reason with a damned devil!
Since you know it's an abyss, if you don't fight your way out, then no matter how much help others give you, it won't help!
Fortunately, with the support of Jiang Mian and the others, the girl's gaze gradually became firm: "I did say that I would earn money to buy medicine, but I never agreed to cheat people and make money with you!"
Perhaps the courage that had been painstakingly regained immediately vanished after saying those words.
Noticing the other person trembling all over, Jiang Mian knew this state all too well—it was a post-traumatic sequela.
