Chapter 429 Selling Yourself at a High Price
Chapter 429 Selling Yourself at a High Price
The higher the rank, the more powerful one becomes. Moreover, Ye Xingguo was the head of the entire police system, and subordinates dared not neglect any orders given by their superiors.
Lan Ying and Wu Dali quickly discovered that Lili had previously worked at a nightclub, specifically the Haojue Nightclub, which was raided and shut down by Qi Tongwei's men.
The fact that the Haojue Nightclub is located behind Chenjia Village is too coincidental, so one can't help but think of it as a conspiracy.
Old Zhou, the mole in the police station, quickly passed the information to Chen Wensheng.
The rat twisted its neck, its eyes filled with murderous intent. "Big brother, how about I go and take care of those two annoying cops?"
Chen Wensheng puffed on his cigar, seemingly in complete control. "No rush, let them investigate at their own pace."
Now that Qi Tongwei is in Kyoto and Chen Shunjun is bogged down in a rape case, he can take this opportunity to ship out a large quantity of goods.
In a ward at the First People's Hospital, Ye Lang's father bowed deeply to Lili, saying, "I'm sorry, young lady, I apologize to you on behalf of my son."
Lili has seen many men, and they never tell the truth. He's only being so humble now because he's begging her; normally, he wouldn't even give her a second glance.
"No need, the law will give me justice."
Mr. Ye is a businessman who believes that money can solve most problems. This woman accused his son of rape simply because she wanted money. If money can solve the problem, why not? He has plenty of money anyway.
"Young lady, my son is still very young. He made a mistake in a moment of impulse. As his parents, we just want to make it up to you as much as possible. Please give me another chance."
Lili remained expressionless. "I don't want compensation, I just want justice. Please leave immediately, or I'll call the police."
In Ye's father's view, this was just Lili putting on an act to increase her bargaining power. After all, everything in the world is business, and it's all about how much profit is made and how it's distributed.
"Young lady, the damage has already been done. You should look forward. I'm willing to compensate you with 200,000 yuan. I hope you'll give my son a chance to reform."
Two hundred thousand was mentioned casually. Lili thought of her poor family and how she had to drop out of school despite her excellent grades. That's why she wanted to go abroad by any means possible, to escape far away and never come back.
"Just because you have money doesn't mean you can bully others or break the law."
The three consecutive probing questions left Mr. Ye somewhat confused. Was this girl really not after money, or perhaps she thought the compensation was too low and wanted to squeeze out a large sum of money?
"Young lady, whether you're rich or ordinary, everyone must abide by the laws of the country."
"It's fate that you met my son at the bar. After drinking, you both got carried away and had sex."
"Of course, I'm not trying to excuse my son. In a power struggle, the man definitely has the advantage. How about 30 yuan in compensation?"
30 yuan! Even if she slept with men every day, she would still have to save it up for several years. But Lili dared not agree because she didn't want to die. She had no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.
"No need, I want to stand up for women."
Ye's mother couldn't stand it anymore; what kind of good person was a woman who frequented bars?
"It's utterly ridiculous. Let me tell you, stop trying to glorify yourself. So many people in the bar saw it. You were the one who provoked my son, and now you're trying to turn the tables and act all high and mighty? Have you no shame?"
"What? You think I'm being nice and reasonable? I have connections in the police station and the government, you shameless bastard. Don't push your luck."
Ye's father did not stop her. He played the good cop and the bad cop, working together to see how long Lili could hold out.
Working at a nightclub, Lili had become shameless, having sex with sleazy men anytime, anywhere. Even being called a slut or a whore couldn't hurt her at all.
Once she goes abroad, makes a lot of money, and gets a degree from a dubious foreign university, she'll transform into a queen. After all, in this world, people laugh at poverty but not prostitution.
"I may be shameless, but your son can't control his lust, so he deserves to go to jail."
Ye's mother was furious, "I really want to beat you to death, you filthy bitch! All you want is money, right? Tell me, how much?"
So what if a wife is rich? She's just lucky to have been born into a good family. Lili believes she can become rich through her own abilities.
"Old woman, you want to be a filthy whore but you're not qualified. You want to shut me up with money, huh? One hundred million and I'll drop the lawsuit immediately."
Upon hearing the word "one hundred million," Ye's mother was so agitated that her blood pressure spiked and she nearly fainted. Ye's father quickly supported her, realizing that things couldn't be rushed and that they needed to plan carefully.
Immediately, Chen Shunjun led Lan Ying and Wu Dali in. They had been listening at the ward door for a while, and what they heard was truly shocking. They couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Ye Lang. If he was convicted of rape, he would be labeled a rapist for life.
