38: Chapter 37 Social Death 38: Chapter 37 Social Death Chu Yi was stunned, and Han Lingyue beside him was even more astonished as she asked, “Uncle Policeman, could you have made a mistake?”

Wang Jianye shook his head gravely, “We can’t say for sure yet, we need to conduct a detailed investigation first.”

“Uh…”

Baffled at becoming a criminal suspect, Chu Yi was at a loss for words.

“Brother, I’ve only been in Binhai for a few days, how could I have committed a crime.

If you don’t believe me, you can ask these three; I have alibis for every day.”

At this, Wang Jianye turned his gaze to the three girls in sudden astonishment.

Having an alibi for every day meant he was with one of them each day?

Thinking of this, Wang Jianye’s expression darkened, “So young and yet so irresponsible!”

Han Lingyue and the girls felt awkward as they heard this, “Uncle Policeman, it’s not what you think…”

“Alright, I’m not interested in your relationships, but I still want to remind you, as girls, you should take good care of yourselves.”

With that, Wang Jianye pushed Chu Yi along, “As for you, go inside and explain everything clearly.”

Chu Yi’s mouth twitched.

Although getting rid of them wouldn’t be difficult, and leaving right now wouldn’t be hard either, if his master found out he did that, there would be hell to pay.

“Fine, I’ll go with you, okay?”

“Chu…” Han Lingyue began worriedly, but Chu Yi gave her a reassuring look.

“It’s okay, I’ll be back soon, just need to clear things up.”

With that, he was taken away in the car.

Half an hour later, in the cramped interrogation room, Chu Yi was handcuffed to a fixed chair, curiously looking around.

Being a criminal was a first for him.

“Name.”

“Chu Yi.”

“Age.”

After a routine set of questions, Wang Jianye slammed the table, “Come clean, if you confess, we can be lenient.”

Chu Yi spread his hands, “Brother, first tell me what the situation is?

I’m still a bit confused here.”

Wang Jianye snorted coldly and explained the situation briefly.

Only then did Chu Yi understand: a girl had reported being assaulted and had accused him unwaveringly as the culprit.

“This must be a joke!

My first time would at least have to be with someone perfect, she scores a sixty at best, no chance!”

Wang Jianye’s eyebrows shot up, “What nonsense are you spouting?

Where do you think you are?”

“Uh…”

Chu Yi scratched his head, realizing he still had to save face for public servants…

“Brother, I don’t even know that girl, I don’t know her name…

if I were the criminal, do you think I would boldly go out to eat, to attend school?”

Wang Jianye didn’t make a sound.

This was also puzzling to him.

The suspect didn’t seem like a suspect at all.

However, the victim didn’t seem to be faking either.

“Let’s not talk about that for now, the victim has gone to check for internal fluids, if you have nothing to hide, let’s go take your sample now for comparison, and we can confirm everything.”

“The sample you’re talking about, don’t tell me it’s…”

Wang Jianye nodded, “That’s right.”

“Come on, you’ve got to be kidding!

As a pure and untouched man, how could I do such a thing!”

“It’s just drawing some blood, what does it have to do with whether you’re untouched or not?”

“What?”

Chu Yi blinked awkwardly, “Really?”

“What else would it be?”

“It’s fine then, let’s go.”

Chu Yi said in all earnestness.

A moment later, at Binhai First Hospital.

Chu Yi was pulled out of the car by the shoulders by Wang Jianye, and before he could get a clear look around, a series of camera clicks began to sound.

About a dozen reporters with long lenses and microphones swarmed him, almost pushing the microphones into Chu Yi’s face.

“Chu Yi, why did you do such a thing to a strange girl?”

“May I ask if you are psychologically distorted or have suffered some kind of setback in childhood that led you to commit such a shocking act?”

“Do you regret it now?”

The piercing questions came one after another, their words clearly already branding Chu Yi as the criminal.

Chu Yi’s eyebrows rose as he looked towards Wang Jianye.

“Did you bring them here?”

Wang Jianye’s face darkened as he shook his head and then shouted at these social media journalists, “Scatter!

The investigation isn’t concluded yet.

What nonsense are you talking about?”

No sooner had he spoken than the group immediately turned their attack.

“Are you covering up for the criminal?”

“What kind of background does he have that you would speak for a criminal?”

“How can you do this to the innocent victim?”

Veins popped on Wang Jianye’s forehead.

He suddenly realized he might have been used as a pawn.

Normal journalists wouldn’t brazenly ignore the facts and make such statements.

That’s wrong, they don’t care about the facts at all.

They just want to nail Chu Yi to the pillory, to make him loathed, to make him suffer social death!

Even if the truth comes out eventually, what then?

“Chu Yi, we owe you an apology for this matter.”

After a two-second silence, Wang Jianye suddenly said.

Chu Yi heard the suppressed anger in his voice and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“It’s alright, you were used as pawns, too.”

Seeing him still able to laugh at this moment, Wang Jianye was taken aback.

This kind of composure in the face of disaster was not something ordinary people could muster.

Meanwhile, not far away, Zheng Jiahao watched the scene with a smug smile of vengeance on his face.

“This is just the beginning!

Don’t think it will go away with time.

I’ve specifically hired a team of online mercenaries for you; you’ll be forever disgraced!”

At that moment, a man in a black T-shirt beside him spoke indifferently, “The remaining two million, don’t forget to transfer it.”

Zheng Jiahao hummed a response, “Don’t worry.

Once I get the result I want, I will immediately give you the money.”

Brother Shan nodded slightly, “It will happen very soon.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a disheveled girl ran out from the hospital, charging toward Chu Yi as if she were the victim.

The reporters immediately turned their cameras on her, ready to capture a scene of a victim crying out against the offender.

However, just then, the roar of an engine came through, and a taxi, like a runaway wild horse, suddenly turned the corner and charged in from outside the hospital.

The driver had never expected so many people to be standing in the road and went pale with shock, immediately turning the wheel to veer to the side.

The girl, seeing the taxi speeding toward her, was petrified with fear, standing frozen in place.

“No good!”

Wang Jianye’s eyes widened with alarm, and he cried out, immediately letting go of Chu Yi and lunging toward the girl.

However, someone else was faster.

Before the onlookers could blink, the girl was grabbed and toppled to the side of the road.

The next second, the taxi zoomed past, screeching to a halt with long black skids on the pavement.

The girl, still shaken, looked up and, to her amazement, found that Chu Yi, the very person she had reported to the police, had saved her!

“You…

why did you save me?”
