Xi Chenxiao’s smile grew wider when he saw Su Jin’s message. It was not that he did not give Su Jin a chance, it was Su Jin who did not answer his question correctly. Therefore, she must work overtime when she got home tonight. Xi Chenxiao quickly typed a reply,
“It’s because you answered wrong, so you’ll have to work overtime tonight. I’ve already given you a chance.”
Su Jin’s face was filled with helplessness when she read this. From the moment the devil asked her what she was doing, Su Jin knew that he was up to no good. He must have set some kind of trap, but she still fell in. Xi Chenxiao didn’t care about Su Jin’s reply and continued typing,
“I’ll come and pick you up after school.”
Su Jin saw this and knew that there was no way she could escape today. The devil would never let her off, so the only thing she could do was to accept it. She replied unhappily,
“Okay.”
Su Jin did not think about it anymore after typing that. Anyway, there was no way to avoid working overtime tonight, so she might as well let nature take its course. After a while, Su Jin called Hou Wan’er,
“Wan’er, is Yuwei at your house?”
When Hou Wan’er heard Su Jin’s question, she looked at Tang Yuwei who had just woken up. Hou Wan’er had been taking care of Tang Yuwei all day. She never left her sight, afraid that Tang Yuwei would do something drastic when she woke up. Hou Wan’er replied,
“Yes, she’s at my house. She just woke up and still doesn’t want to eat.”
Su Jin’s face turned gloomy when she heard this. A person needed energy and food gave energy. How could she not eat? If this continued, how could she recover? Su Jin said,
“Wan’er, please pass the phone to Tang Yuwei.”
Hou Wan’er was also very worried that Tang Yuwei would not eat. After all, she was very weak. When she heard Su Jin’s urgent words, she put the phone to Tang Yuwei’s ear and said to Tang Yuwei,
“Yuwei, Su Jin is looking for you. She has something to say to you. If it’s okay for you, can I also listen to what Su Jin has to say to you?”
When Tang Yuwei heard this, she looked at Hou Wan’er awkwardly. Tang Yuwei didn’t know what Su Jin wanted to say, but she didn’t want Hou Wan’er to listen in either. Tang Yuwei took the phone and said awkwardly,
“I think better not. I’ll take the call first.”
Tang Yuwei also felt conflicted after she turned Hou Wan’er down. After all, she was staying at Hou Wan’er’s house, but things said over the phone could sometimes be private. Tang Yuwei didn’t think too much about it and said over the phone,
“Su Jin, what’s the matter?”
When Su Jin heard Tang Yuwei’s tired voice, she hesitated. She didn’t know if she should tell Tang Yuwei. If she did, it would very likely stir Tang Yuwei’s emotions. After hesitating for a moment, Su Jin still said it.
“Yuwei, I’ve already reported your case to the mayor. However, the mayor said that we need the victims to come forward and testify against those animals in order to bring them to justice.”
Tang Yuwei’s eyes turned red with a hint of despair when she heard this. She should have expected this. Those people were just too powerful. Tang Yuwei no longer held any hope and said in despair,
“Su Jin, let’s just give up. Even if I agree, the other girls will not.”
“My parents have always thought of me as a good girl, and their hope for the future of our family. If this matter made the news, even if I can bear it, can my family?”
“My family will be criticized and suffer internet violence!”
Tang Yuwei began to cry as she spoke. After all, no matter who encountered this, they would feel despair. Su Jin had initially given Tang Yuwei a little hope, but it’s all gone now. Tang Yuwei sobbed,
“Su Jin, all the victims basically have the same sentiments, so it’s better to give up!”
Su Jin could hear the deep despair in Tang Yuwei’s words. She also knew how much this matter had hurt Tang Yuwei. But if they gave up just like that, those animals would not let Tang Yuwei off. Su Jin replied with mixed feelings,
“I understand what you mean. Don’t worry. I have other ways to deal with those animals. In a few days, you’ll see them go to hell!”
Tang Yuwei didn’t take Su Jin’s words seriously, thinking that she was merely comforting her, but she still replied gratefully,
“Su Jin, thank you.”
