Chapter 224: Chapter 224
After Ye Ling finished recounting the incident, the two of them never spoke again. Ye Ling was unwilling to speak with Shen Bin. Although Shen Bin didn’t say much, whenever he did say something, it left Ye Ling feeling that his words, though few, were startlingly sharp and his tongue was quite venomous.
In her previous life, she hadn’t realized this man had such a talent. Thinking of his attention to Ye Qian and his interactions with Bai Hehua in the park, indeed, she had never truly seen through this man. Now that she knew how biting his words were, it was no longer surprising.
Until the two sides met and entered inside, watching Shen Bin shake hands with the others, Ye Ling inwardly sneered, ’Hypocrite.’
Pretending to be aloof in front of others, everyone should see how venomous his true face is.
Just as the other party finished shaking hands with Shen Bin, he already spoke, "Bring the people over. They haven’t had a chance to change clothes yet. Let me put my coat on the child, then you can ask your questions."
Everyone was taken aback.
In full view, Shen Bin turned around, took his coat off, and draped it over Ye Ling’s shoulders, his gaze deep as he stared at Ye Ling, "No matter how high the other party’s status, the government will provide an explanation on matters of fact. In the future, be rational in the face of events, trust the government and the people."
Ye Ling was dumbfounded, what game was this man playing?
Shameless, truly shameless.
Earlier he called her naive, and now he was quickly using her disheveled appearance to block the other party’s plea for mercy. Ye Ling, of course, remembered Shen Bin’s words about the other party’s background, and also recalled him mentioning four people had been beaten and were in the hospital.
The man before her constantly refreshed her impression of him. Ye Ling didn’t want to pay him any mind, nor cooperate with him. Moreover, the coat on her shoulders carried a faint scent of soap and the man’s unique smell slowly reaching her nose, making Ye Ling’s body tense up. But at the thought of him calling her naive, in an instant, when facing the other party and Shen Bin, Ye Ling came up with an idea.
"Uncle Shen." Ye Ling directly flung herself into Shen Bin’s arms, feeling the rigid body suddenly stiffen, Ye Ling felt that the grievance since seeing Shen Bin had finally been released, "I know I’m dumb, but I’m not foolish. They dared to molest someone in broad daylight in the park. Does this mean their family is very wealthy and powerful, and now not only can I not pursue their crimes, but I also have to accept their apology? At that time, I said I was a child from the compound, and that little hooligan with a perm said he’d tried everything except for the taste of a compound kid, and at worst, he’d marry me. They pinned me down and kept hitting me... sob..."
One man’s lips twitched at Ye Ling’s mention of ’little hooligan’, his face darkening, while others pursed their lips, clearly incensed by her words. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFirｅ.net
Shen Bin lowered his head, looking at Ye Ling who had buried her face in his chest, past scenes of Ye Ling flashing through his mind. Shen Bin hadn’t realized anything in his eyes flickering past, and hadn’t forgotten where he was or what needed to be done.
As he raised his hand to stroke the head buried in his chest, it initially felt stiff, but soon became natural, like an elder comforting a child, "Such hooligans cannot be condoned. Rest assured, even if they hadn’t provoked a child from the compound this time, this matter can’t simply slide. Abusing power, if protected by their family, amounts to favoritism and perverting the law, unless their family doesn’t care about their jobs."
As soon as Shen Bin said this, the man in a suit clenched his fists tighter, his expression darkening even further. This man was actually a relative of the city’s *** driver, accustomed to doing bad things under the guise of authority, deceiving everyone. Whenever something happened, he could easily smother it. But this time he antagonized the compound folk, attempting to defile someone in the park in broad daylight, and was caught by over twenty people. Gao De realized this wouldn’t be easy to handle; even though his son was the one beaten and hospitalized, if there was fault, it was as if there wasn’t any now. After all, nothing had truly happened, everything was timely prevented, and initially, he intended to scare the other party as usual. But now it seemed the current predicament wouldn’t be so easily resolved.
Gao De felt troubled and rushed over immediately. Upon seeing the victim arrive, he thought to apologize first, but before he could, such a scene unfolded. Gao De couldn’t bring himself to speak, and simply nodded to the lawyer beside him, choosing to remain silent.
Over there, after being stroked by Shen Bin, Ye Ling was covered in goosebumps and took advantage of a moment when Shen Bin spoke to retreat from his arms. Her bruised face stretched into a big smile, "Uncle Shen, I believe whatever you say will surely be done."
When the time comes for everything to fizzle out , let’s see if this man can still shamelessly pretend in front of me.
This act of flattery, Shen Bin saw through it at once. A seventeen-year-old so naive and stubborn at times really gave Shen Bin headaches.
"Go with the uncles to make a record, recount the whole incident, and don’t feel embarrassed. Those who commit the deeds should feel ashamed, while those bullied should never. Otherwise, isn’t this world upside down?" Seeing Shen Bin open his mouth, Ye Ling knew he wouldn’t have anything nice to say.
Sure enough, he directly mocked the other party, yet he still appeared so righteous.
The record-taking was quick. When Ye Ling finished recounting the incident, the room was silent, and Ye Ling could even see anger on the face of the person taking the record for her.
Once the record was complete, Shen Bin brought up the matter of the compound’s children, "Upholding justice, the children here have been influenced since childhood by their parents working together and cannot stand such things, especially within the same compound. They grew up roughhousing together, so heavy-handedness can be understood. Let’s see if we should take these people away now or investigate further first?"
"Let the kids go back first, compound kids don’t lie." Gao De spoke first before the lawyer could, stepping forward with an apologetic face towards Ye Ling, "Uncle failed to educate his child well, causing you to suffer. Don’t worry; Uncle will not shield his child." (To be continued.
