Hearing that voice, Qiao Zhen felt a pang of heartache. Her brother was always sunny and cheerful, and had never been so vulnerable before, nor had he ever spoken to her in such a voice.
"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. Tell your sister the truth, did you not do that kind of thing?"
"I swear!" Qiao Luosheng suddenly became agitated, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but get excited.
"I never did that. I don't know why she would frame me like this. Sister, can you investigate this matter thoroughly?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt relieved and took Qiao Luosheng's hand.
"Don't worry, I won't let them succeed. They'll be what they are."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luosheng suddenly broke down and sobbed on Qiao Zhen's shoulder.
"Sis, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't been there, I wouldn't know what to do..."
Seeing Qiao Luosheng crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, Qiao Zhen felt very complicated.
She didn't believe that Chen Si would have so much free time to target a summer job; it was clearly aimed at her.
What surprised her was that even though she had kept such a distant distance from Qiao Luosheng in the studio, how could she still find out?
"Alright, this isn't your fault. You two don't need to blame yourselves so much."
Lu Zheng comforted them from the side, and hearing this, the two gradually calmed down.
"Brother-in-law, it's so great to have you."
Qiao Luosheng said, sobbing.
Because of this incident, Qiao Luosheng stopped working at that studio. And since his current mental state was not suitable for living with his mother, he simply came to Lu Zheng's house.
Looking at the huge house, Qiao Luosheng no longer showed his usual amazement. Instead, he casually found a place to sit down and calm himself down.
Lu Zheng wasn't idle either. As soon as he got home, he took out his phone: "Go check if Chen Si has filed an appeal?"
"Mr. Lu, she didn't. She just let the reporters come and take pictures."
Hearing this, Lu Zheng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I knew it. She didn't have any substantial evidence at all. She just wanted to use public opinion to bring down Qiao Zhen."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was also a little stunned.
"Since she wants to use public opinion to bring us down, we can use public opinion to bring her down."
Soon, Qiao Luosheng hurriedly handed his phone to Qiao Zhen: "Sister, look! Chen Si has posted a video online!"
Qiao Zhen took the phone and looked at it, then found herself deep in thought.
She posted a video online, in which she expressed her gratitude for the fact that Qiao Luosheng had tried to rape her but failed, and that reporters had discovered and rescued her.
However, since Qiao Luosheng did not actually violate her, she does not intend to appeal. Instead, she hopes that Qiao Luosheng will record an apology video for her, and that his family will also need to apologize.
After reading it, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh.
"The shamelessness of this family has truly impressed me."
Hearing this, Qiao Luosheng couldn't help but get anxious: "Sister, what should we do?"
"She clearly wants to drag our whole family down with her!"
"Don't worry." Qiao Zhen patted Qiao Luosheng on the shoulder. "You've never done this before, what are you worried about?"
Lu Zheng said, "I've already had someone repair the surveillance video from that night. I believe we'll have results soon, so don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Qiao Luosheng felt much more at ease and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
The next day, after much deliberation, Qiao Zhen decided to go back to the studio to continue working, but Qiao Luosheng told him to stay at home.
After what happened last night, Qiao Zhen received a lot of strange looks as soon as she arrived at the studio.
The credibility of that story is questionable, but to those unaware of it, it's undoubtedly a topic of conversation.
"Did you see that woman just now? She's the sister of that rapist from last night!"
Qiao Zhen had just sat down when she heard people whispering nearby.
Because the room was very quiet at the time, any sound or movement could be heard by everyone.
Upon hearing this, sure enough, everyone looked at Qiao Zhen with expressions of inquiry and amusement.
Qiao Zhen originally didn't intend to pay attention, but they kept chattering and wouldn't stop.
She took a deep breath and then slowly walked up to the man.
Is spreading rumors fun?
The person on the other end was also taken aback, as Qiao Zhen actually had the audacity to confront them. They were visibly stunned for a moment before stammering, "You, what do you mean by this..."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen continued to ask, "Don't you know what you just said?"
"I..." The man was speechless for a moment, then said defiantly, "So what if I said it? I didn't say anything wrong!"
"Since you're not wrong, then I'm curious, where is the person you're keeping on the side? I heard it's someone in this film studio."
Upon hearing this, the man opposite him was stunned for a moment, then slammed his hand on the table, stood up, pointed at Qiao Zhen's nose, and shouted, "What the hell do you mean? Are you slandering me?"
"Who slandered you? What's wrong with me saying it? I didn't say anything wrong!" Qiao Zhen imitated the person's tone and expression just now, which made the other person furious.
"Heh, you should spend more time thinking about your brother. At least quite a few people know about his situation."
The man looked at Qiao Zhen and suddenly burst into a sneer.
Qiao Zhen was much calmer: "Do you know that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it? The bigger the bet someone places, the more devastating the loss will be."
After saying that, Qiao Zhen left as if ignoring the person's reaction, but as she turned around, she noticed that Chen Si was looking at her.
The two locked eyes, and Qiao Zhen showed no fear or hesitation, staring straight at the other person.
Seeing this, his pensive expression softened somewhat.
At noon, Qiao Zhen received a text message from Chen Si: "Want to go out for lunch together?"
When it came to this, Qiao Zhen was also very curious and pondered what he was keeping in mind, so she couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Can."
The two met at noon, and Qiao Zhen directly asked her to get straight to the point: "Miss Chen, let's be frank, what exactly do you want?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Chen Si chuckled.
“What I want is justice, of course. Your brother has those kinds of thoughts about me, so why can't I pursue fairness?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's face immediately darkened: "You'd better really think that way."
"Of course."
He smiled thoughtfully, then drew a beautiful arc in his eyes: "I also hope that Miss Qiao will not cover up for her own relatives and give me justice."
In this regard, Chen Si truly has a sharp mind and speaks flawlessly, making it impossible for Qiao Zhen to get a single word out of him.
"Since you're convinced he had those thoughts, why don't you file an appeal?"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Chen Si's expression changed, and he immediately put on a pitiful look.
