Chapter 430 The Miss's Eloquent Tongue
Chapter 430 The Miss's Eloquent Tongue
Two nurses rushed into the ward and helped Mr. Ye move his mother to the next room. Lili, on the other hand, looked smug. She had nothing to begin with, so she was fearless. Someone like her could accept any price to be more successful than others.
"Officers, you see this, right? This is the filthy face of the rich and powerful. Their son committed a crime, but as parents, they don't recognize their mistakes at all. All they want to do is pay to settle things. Even if I agree, do you agree? Does the law agree?"
"Don't worry, rape is a criminal case, and the police will definitely investigate it thoroughly."
Chen Shunjun quickly tried to comfort her, even though he knew that Lili was not as innocent as she claimed.
"Thank you, officer. You're such a kind person."
Hearing these words coming from Lili's mouth, it just sounded a little uncomfortable.
Lan Ying said, "I came here today to confirm some things with you."
Lily already knew that the police had investigated her past, but she didn't seem to care and appeared quite confident.
"Officer, please speak."
Lan Ying was also very direct, "You've been working at the clothing store for less than a month, and before that you were working at a nightclub, right?"
"Yes"
Lili spoke firmly, blurting out the question, then immediately countered with a question, turning the tables and asking, "Officer, what's so shameful about working at a nightclub?"
This caught Lan Ying off guard. After all, most women working in nightclubs would try their best to hide their identities, rather than being as assertive and proud as she was.
Since that's the case, Lan Ying didn't mince words, "You were once administratively detained for suspected prostitution, is that true?"
Lili remained calm; her mental fortitude had long been honed by her clients, who had employed all sorts of bizarre and varied methods.
"Officer, I was young at the time, my family was poor, and my father was sick and urgently needed money for hospitalization, which is why I was scammed. In a way, I'm a victim too."
Lan Ying was utterly speechless. "You're really trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility."
Lili sneered, "Officer, I used to work in a nightclub. In many people's eyes, I was a prostitute. Even if I was a prostitute, I have the right to refuse to be raped by a man, don't you think?"
Trying to back down as a tactic, Lan Ying pressed on, "So, you admit you engaged in prostitution while working at the nightclub?"
Lili rubbed her forehead. "Women don't even help each other, what a traitor!"
"Officer, if that's how you see it, then I have to ask you this: if nightclubs are full of illegal and dirty deals, then why are they allowed to exist in the first place?"
Lan Ying remained expressionless and stated firmly, "Nightclubs are commercial businesses. If there are any illegal or criminal activities, the police have to investigate and take action."
Lili really wanted to say that the police officers who had slept with her were not just one or two, but at least a platoon if not a whole company.
"Officer, a former lawyer client once told me that no matter who I am or what my status is, it's not a reason for me to be harmed. Everyone is equal before the law."
It seems that Lili understands everything and was prepared in advance. Lan Ying felt quite helpless and couldn't help but wonder how Qi Tongwei would handle the case.
If it were a man, he would definitely get a beating and humiliation. As for a woman, she would probably say the most hurtful things, aiming to break the other person's mentality.
But she really couldn't do it, nor did she have as many shameless actions as Qi Tongwei; more importantly, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Let me remind you, falsely accusing others is also punishable by law."
Lily had the upper hand psychologically, and she really enjoyed this victorious posture.
"Officer, how could a woman accuse someone else while jeopardizing her own innocence?"
"I dare to stand up today because my experience working in a nightclub taught me how ugly human nature can be."
"I'm not a pure and kind woman, but I want to give a heads-up to those naive young girls, that's all."
Wow, those words were spoken with such righteous indignation that Wu Dali was almost moved to tears.
Lan Ying thought that Lili was possessed by Qi Tongwei, always able to stand on the moral high ground from different angles, making it impossible for anyone to find any fault with her.
"Difficult to deal with, shrewd"—that's the four words Chen Shunjun used to summarize Lili.
Lan Ying clenched her fists tightly, feeling a bit aggrieved that she had been wronged in silence. She really couldn't refute these high-sounding words.
"I'll ask you one more time. The suspect still insists that there was no rape, but that it was consensual. Do you still insist on accusing him of rape?"
Lili's eyes were as firm as iron; she had no way out. "Officer, rape is rape. No matter how powerful his background is, I choose to pursue this to the end and will never give in."
The way they're saying this makes it sound like the three policemen are in cahoots with the rapist, ganging up to bully a powerless and vulnerable woman.
Damn it, when did the girls at this nightclub become so innocent and pure?
Chen Shunjun understood that without solid evidence proving that Lili had deliberately framed him, even if she was a prostitute, it couldn't prove that Ye Lang hadn't committed rape. It seemed like the case had reached a dead end.
That's all for today, thank you for your cooperation.
"Officer, to be honest, this is the first time I've encountered such polite police officers. Thank you."
Lily was telling the truth. After all, the person she framed had a powerful background. If it had been another police officer, she wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily.
Of course, if Chen Wensheng were to use the Great Memory Restoration Technique on Lili, he would be very happy, because Ye Xingguo would only have more of a headache.
Newspapers will publish articles about the police chief instructing his subordinates to torture victims and protect his nephew's crimes. Where is justice and fairness when privilege is not restrained?
