Gu Yan's words were precise, well-reasoned, and he completely exonerated himself, placing all the blame on Zhang Junyi.
"You're talking nonsense! That's not the case at all!"
Zhang Junyi shouted excitedly, while Gu Yan stepped aside calmly.
"No matter how you try to argue, this is the truth. In front of the public security comrades and the law, you will not be allowed to deny it!"
"This is not true. You are deceiving others. You are breaking the law by deceiving public security officials!"
Zhang Junyi was furious. How could there be such a shameless person? Many things were clearly not like this. Although there were some ambiguities, he couldn't put the blame on him!
There was a dispute between the two people's statements, so the public security comrades separated them and took their statements separately.
However, what Zhang Junyi said was similar to what Gu Yan said, except that he concealed some details.
"You two can go back now."
The public security comrades asked Gu Yan and Ye Jin to leave first, as Zhang Junyi's actions had violated the law.
At present, some things still need to be investigated and evidence collected. Once the charges of trespassing and attempted rape are proven, he will be in big trouble.
Comrades from the Public Security Bureau immediately went to Zhangjia Village to investigate and collect evidence.
Many things can be reasonably judged based on the traces of fighting at the scene.
The two came out of the Public Security Bureau. Ye Jin's eyes were unfocused and her expression was heavy. She didn't even look at the road as she walked. She stepped in a pit and almost fell.
Gu Yan quickly hugged her in his arms and took good care of her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."
"I'm not scared. I'm just thinking, I'm at my grandma's house, staying in my room, not even going out, and Zhang Junyi dares to come over and bully and humiliate me!"
"The houses in the village are indeed unsafe. I will help you reinforce them later. At least this will prevent the evildoers from acting so recklessly."
"But I'm still afraid. As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. They know where I live, and I'm in the open while they're in the dark. I never know when they'll trick me again."
Ye Jin was still afraid, terrified from the bottom of her heart.
She tried every trick in the book today, but it just prevented Zhang Junyi from succeeding. It was too difficult for a weak woman like her to protect herself.
She thought of the spring water in the space. She had used it too much recently and hadn't been willing to drink it for a long time.
It seems that I still can't slack off. I have to drink what I need to drink and absolutely cannot save any.
"Don't be afraid. Why don't you live in town? The houses here are densely packed together, so if someone does something bad, you can call for help from your neighbors quickly. Plus, the houses here are all reinforced concrete, so they're safer."
"But I'm worried about my grandma living alone in the village. Now I still want to live with her."
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there. Grandma is old and actually won’t live for many more years.
She didn't want to wait until something happened to regret it. Money can be earned slowly, but once a loved one is lost, it is lost forever.
"Do you mind having one more person in the house?"
Gu Yan looked at her with burning eyes. Even in the dark and silent night, Ye Jin could still see his bright and scary eyes.
"One more person? You mean yourself?"
Ye Jin's heart was pounding. What did Gu Yan mean by this? Was he trying to protect her?
She didn't dare to think about it further. In her current situation, she did feel more secure with Gu Yan by her side.
But what if he didn't mean that? Wouldn't that mean she was just being too sentimental?
"Of course, I don't trust anyone else besides me."
Although Gu Yan spoke casually, he had actually clenched his fists silently, with all the muscles in his body tensed.
His heart was beating fast and every cell in his body was clamoring, but he pretended to remain calm on the surface.
It would be so embarrassing if I got rejected. I would feel a little uncomfortable in front of this girl in the future.
After getting the answer she wanted, Ye Jin pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Aren't you afraid of people gossiping?"
After experiencing the tragic experience in her previous life, Ye Jin never even thought about getting married in this life. Her original plan was to just take care of her grandmother, and she never thought about anything else.
"What do I have to worry about as a grown man? If you're worried that I'll ruin your reputation, then I don't have to go."
"I've never worried about my reputation. After living with Wang Fengqin and her daughter for so many years, how could I have any reputation in the village?"
Ye Jin smiled bitterly. Wang Fengqin and her daughter often spoke ill of her in the group. As long as she did something wrong, the two of them would make sure everyone knew about it.
Even some small problems were magnified by them, and the end result was that people in the village generally had a bad impression of her.
They said that Ye Jin was in poor health, lazy, disrespectful to elders and parents, and was also very rude to her stepsister.
Whatever she did was wrong, and doing nothing was also wrong.
She used to try hard to refute and prove herself, but later she found that how could her mouth compete with theirs?
Even her own father treats her the same way.
Her heart turned cold and she completely lost hope in these people.
No matter what they say, no matter what others think, she doesn't care what they think.
Especially since I have been reborn once and was hurt so badly by them in my previous life, why should I care about these false reputations now?
"I won't let them say anything about you anymore!"
"People have mouths on their bodies, and they can say whatever they want to say. You can't stop them from saying it."
"Then let them see how hard my fist is. If anyone dares to talk nonsense and I hear him, I will tear his mouth apart!"
"If you can tear down one person, can you tear down everyone? You can stop them from talking to your face, but you can't stop them from talking behind your back. It's not worth wasting time and energy on meaningless things."
"No, I hit one person, but everyone else will be scared because it will look to them like I hit them in the face!"
Gu Yan turned his head and looked into the distance. The night was dark and he held Ye Jin tightly in his arms.
It not only protected her from the wind and rain, but also made her no longer confused and afraid.
"If Zhang Junyi's testimony is conclusive, how many years will he have to stay in prison?"
This is the issue that Ye Jin is most concerned about. She doesn't understand the law and has never thought of using legal weapons to defend her rights.
"It'll be at least three years, but with me here, I'll try to get him a life sentence."
"Indefinitely? Does that mean you'll never come out?"
Ye Jin's eyes were terribly bright. Zhang Junyi was a nightmare to her. If he could be completely eradicated, she would feel much more at ease for the rest of her life.
"Yes, once he goes in, he'll never get out. How about letting him spend the rest of his life in prison?"
