Tong Su looked surprised and bewildered: "What?"
The professors were puzzled, while the other students pulled out their phones to search. The female student placed the video in front of the old professors and played it aloud.
The video started with a shaky camera, clearly showing someone secretly filming with their phone. Almost simultaneously, a woman's scream came from the speakers!
"You woman! Where's the money? Give me the money! Did you hide it again? What the hell are you hiding the money for! Damn it, you dare to run away!"
"Honey, I'm out of money. I just paid the rent, so I don't have any money for you to play mahjong..."
"I don't care what you pay me, just give me the money!"
The vulgar insults grew louder and louder, accompanied by the sounds of brutal beatings. The camera focused on a house where the shadows of people fighting were projected through the window.
The doors of each house opened, and the neighbors stood at their doorways, filled with anger and resentment, yet dared not step forward to break up the fight.
"Oh dear, what a tragedy! Old Tang is beating his wife again! I really don't dare to go and break it up; if I do, he'll beat her even harder..."
"What's the use of calling the police? They can't arrest him anyway."
"Luckily, my child is at a competition and isn't home, otherwise she would definitely have protected her mother and been beaten up by Old Tang! Last time he almost beat her to death!"
"Such a good child, how could the father be like this? So obedient and well-behaved, earning his own tuition through scholarships. If this were my child, I would be heartbroken!"
"Why!"
The old professors were furious, exclaiming angrily, "How could this man be like this! So despicable and cruel! Why can't we arrest him?"
Just then, a reporter's voice came through the camera: "...What you're seeing is footage secretly filmed by our studio's reporters. As you all know, the 'Today I'm a High School Freshman' program previously aired behind-the-scenes footage..."
The professors were bewildered and confused, but then the reporter said something that made their eyelids twitch and their foreheads bulge with anger:
"According to sources, the girl who suffered domestic violence is named Tang Tongyang, a student at Mingfeng High School. She is currently participating in a closed-door competition on traditional Chinese culture at Imperial University and has not been contacted. Our studio will continue to follow up on this story..."
"Tongyang?"
The professors turned around abruptly and saw that the girl who had just been chatting and laughing with them was now deathly pale, her lips trembling slightly, and her eyes lifeless.
"Mom, Mom...he hit Mom again! I want to go back, I want to see Mom—"
She jumped up abruptly, trembling with anxiety and anger, tears streaming down her face. She wiped them away haphazardly, no longer caring about her appearance!
Everyone was greatly shocked and furious—
Is the girl mentioned in the video who was allegedly subjected to domestic violence really Tongyang?
How could such a well-behaved child encounter such a thing!
"Don't worry, Tongyang, don't worry. The media said that the neighbors have taken your mother to the hospital, and she's not in any danger!"
"What kind of scoundrel media outlet is this? How could they leak a child's information?"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, we'll go to your house with you!"
"Tongyang, your teacher knows several top lawyers. I'd like them to help you sue your father for domestic violence and intentional assault. Do you agree?"
Tears streamed down the little girl's face, but she forced a defiant expression and earnestly thanked everyone: "Thank you, teachers, for helping me. I will seriously consider the lawsuit..."
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
A cold and deep voice rang out softly.
"What are you waiting for? File a lawsuit immediately and terminate your guardianship relationship with him. From now on, I will be your guardian."
