Chapter 158: “Go Eat Peanuts”
Chapter 158
"Ahh!"
A sharp scream pierced the air.
The scumbag suddenly clutched his lower body with both hands, his expression instantly contorting in agony, alternating between the smugness and despair on his face.
Pain!
Excruciating, heart-wrenching pain!
His... his... his...
Chen Yun quickly lunged forward, shoving the scumbag away.
He fell back onto the bed, trembling hands covering his lower abdomen. He writhed in pain, groaning and whimpering.
"Ah! Chen Yun, Gu Sang, you... you set me up!"
The scumbag had come to his senses, but the searing pain made it difficult for him to even sit up. His eyes burned with hatred. "You dare kick me! I'll report you to the police!"
The next second: "Ding dong!"
Heavy footsteps echoed outside the door.
"Bang!"
"Boom!!"
The hotel room door was forcibly broken open.
A group of uniformed individuals wielding weapons burst in, surrounding the entire room.
"Nobody move!"
Seeing those familiar and reassuring uniforms, Chen Yun felt an indescribable sense of relief wash over her.
She immediately sank to her knees, covering her face and sobbing uncontrollably. "Waaah! Officers, you're finally here."
"He... he tried to assault my friend! I'm so scared, I'm terrified!"
Chen Yun cried, her voice trembling with fear and choked with sobs.
Gu Sang channeled her inner actress, lying down on the bed holding her head, crying out about feeling dizzy, seeing spots, and having no strength.
Upon hearing the word "officers," the scumbag's face rapidly changed expressions as he quickly thought of a way to absolve himself of guilt.
His entire face darkened terribly, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he shouted, "They're faking it! She's pretending! I want to report them, they conspired to set me up. I can't have children anymore!"
"You must arrest these two and execute them!"
Four police officers entered the room, asking all three to show their IDs. "Was it you who called the police?" one asked, looking at Chen Yun's ID.
Chen Yun nodded, deliberately exposing half of her swollen face. "Yes, I called. He threatened me, forcing me to help him assault my friend."
"Here's the audio recording and video!"
"He also drugged my friend with an illegal substance. He blackmailed me with my nude photos. Waaah! I was so scared. I didn't want to hurt my friend, but I was afraid he'd send the photos to my parents and friends!"
With both witness testimony and physical evidence present, the scumbag was immediately arrested and charged.
But he refused to accept it, demanding a trial, constantly deflecting by saying the two women had set him up. He claimed he hadn't broken any laws and hadn't substantially harmed Gu Sang.
Gu Sang was still holding her head, complaining of dizziness and weakness.
All three were taken to the station to gather evidence.
When the scumbag was finally handcuffed, his face turned pale with fear.
Seeing the officer leave the room with documents to sign, leaving only Gu Sang and Chen Yun behind, the scumbag, locked to an iron chair, gritted his teeth and threatened Chen Yun: "Are you really going to be this ruthless?! You should know, I have countless backups of those photos!"
Gu Sang also pretended her head wasn't as dizzy anymore and sat up straight.
This time, Chen Yun finally found the courage to stand up for herself.
She no longer hid behind Gu Sang, but resolutely said to the scumbag, "If you want a trial, then let's have a trial! I believe in justice and have nothing to fear!"
"You thought you could manipulate me because I was afraid of exposure, didn't you?!"
"I've realized now that rather than being dragged down into the abyss with you, I'd rather face the consequences head-on!"
"You've already ruined my life! But I can't let you ruin anyone else's. I will expose all your evil deeds!"
"Officer, officer!! I demand a drug test for Gu Sang!" Chen Yun shouted, banging on the door.
The drug the scumbag had given Chen Yun was a potent one that could knock someone out for several hours.
But Gu Sang had swapped it for a harmless drug that only lasted half an hour, and she had taken it at home in the morning. Its effects had long since worn off.
However!
It could still be detected in her blood within 24 hours!
That was enough!
This time, with three serious charges, the scumbag would have to pay dearly for his crimes!
Ten minutes later, Gu Sang had her blood drawn for testing and returned to the waiting room.
Seeing Chen Yun's determination, the scumbag began to panic.
His tone softened, almost pleading with a hint of threat: "Chen Yun, blowing this out of proportion won't do either of us any good!"
"Gu Sang was perfectly fine just now, she clearly wasn't drugged. You're trying to trick me! Right now, I'm only charged with attempted rape. I won't serve more than a few years, and then I can come out and enjoy life again."
"But you'll have to live with a reputation for being promiscuous for the rest of your life. Can you bear the way people will look at you behind your back?"
"Your good friend Lin Lin, didn't she jump off a building because people were mocking her in private?"
Chen Yun angrily retorted, "You have no right to mention Lin Lin."
At this moment, the police officer returned with the signed documents and records, informing them that the evidence collection was complete and the two women could leave for now.
Gu Sang 'weakly' held Chen Yun's hand.
She turned to the scumbag and said, "Whether we're tricking you or not, you'll know when the blood test results come back! You provided the drug to Chen Yun, you forced her to do this, and you secretly took those photos."
"Did you really think that every girl wouldn't know how to fight back, that we'd all be powerless against your manipulation?!"
"You actually believed you could use me to climb the social ladder, to control me?"
"You're not worthy!"
"Chen Yun, let's go. Don't waste any more words on him. If you show even a hint of hesitation, he'll seize the opportunity to control you again."
"Take one step back, and you'll be retreating for life!"
"We'll consult with a lawyer about this. I've already made an appointment with the best law firm in the city. We must make him pay the most painful price for his actions!"
Chen Yun took a deep breath, her voice firm: "Sang Sang, thank you! I've made up my mind. Even if my reputation is ruined, I must let everyone know the scumbag's true face!"
"If I were to be weak now, I wouldn't deserve to be your friend!"
The two girls left the station hand in hand.
The scumbag's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched them leave, helpless to do anything!
He looked at the handcuffs on his wrists.
Then at the dark interrogation rooms outside the door.
Suddenly, an unknown fear welled up inside him, tears welling in his eyes.
It's over!
It's really over!
Meanwhile, Gu Sang and Chen Yun entered a law office building after leaving the police station. With her friend by her side, Chen Yun felt an unwavering determination in her heart.
After they explained the whole situation to the lawyer, he assured them there was no need to worry.
Given the sensitive nature of the case, they could apply for a closed-door trial.
As for those intimate photos, the lawyer promised that the police would handle them properly. The scumbag would have no choice but to cooperate unless he wanted to spend a few extra years behind bars.
"Really?!"
"Will the issue with the photos truly be resolved?"
"That's wonderful! Sang Sang, did you hear that? I... I don't have to be afraid anymore! I won't be threatened again, oh thank goodness!" She broke down in tears of relief.
