Chapter 35: Chapter 35 The Legendary Melee_1

"As students, since you’ve been having sex with men in a villa, do your parents know about this?"

"As students, using the excuse of a vacation to secretly meet with thugs from society—Is that your so-called excuse?"

"I’ve heard you’re students from First Middle School, and as everyone knows, First Middle is the best school in B City, with top-notch teaching quality. But after an incident like this, do you have anything to say for yourselves?"

"Hooking up with thugs and engaging in a four-way—Is this what you call a vacation?"

The reporters hammered them with questions, one after another, while the cameramen relentlessly filmed the four women in the room, naked and pale-faced, of course not sparing the four tattooed thugs either.

"Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not true, none of this is real, it’s not true!"

"I don’t know them!"

"I want to accuse them of rape! I’m going to sue them! Wuwuwu, you’ve ruined my life!"

"How did this happen, why did it turn out like this?"

Shen Jia couldn’t hold back any longer and started crying loudly.

"It’s not true? Then, student, when we came in, what was up with your entangled bodies? We witnessed the four-way with our own eyes, and just now you all looked like you were enjoying it—are you saying that’s fake too?"

"Rape? Are you saying these four thugs raped you all at once, or was it consensual all along?"

"Slut, you fucking slut, when we got the checks last night, it was all agreed—we were supposed to make you feel good, the four of us!"

"That’s right! If I knew you were this dirty, no amount of money would get me to play with you!"

"You were screaming so loud just a minute ago, and now you want to act like you don’t know us?"

"Whore." The four thugs cursed and pulled out the checks. Although they didn’t know exactly what was happening, the fact was they’d slept with the four women, and it was entirely voluntary on the women’s part. They’d rather give up the checks than be charged with rape—rape means prison time, after all.

"Excuse me, sir, did Ms. Shen really give you these checks? This Ms. Shen seems to be from the Shen Family. How did you manage to hook up with her?"

"The four-way, was it suggested by the four students or did you guys come up with the idea?"

"Of course they suggested it; otherwise, how could we have ended up together? In fact, last night they left the door open for us, waiting for us to come in."

"Yeah, as soon as we got there, they threw themselves at us. They even said they’d lit some Enchanting Fragrance in the villa so that everyone else would sleep like the dead—do whatever you want, no one will wake up, they said everyone else got knocked out by the scent." The thugs began to chime in, one after another.

Several journalists sniffed the air with their dog noses, and there really was a faint sweet scent lingering.

"You’re lying! You’re lying! You drugged us—yesterday night it was Shangguan You, that slut—how did it become us now?"

Li Ruo screamed; she just couldn’t accept that this was happening.

"Shangguan You? So the person you tried to set up ended up escaping, and now you’re the ones paying the price? After something like this, what will the four of you do next?"

Shangguan You swept her cool gaze over the mess in the room, the four women covering themselves and sobbing, the four shameless thugs, and the aggressive swarm of reporters. A flash of cold light passed through her deep eyes.

"Youyou, are you alright?" Gui Mo’s peach blossom eyes swept over Shangguan You, who stood in front of him, and he asked with concern.

"Come on, what could have happened to Youyou? We slept together in the same room last night," Zhu Li said suspiciously. Gui Mo sighed with relief at just the right time. Lan Xuan and Han Yachu exchanged glances, their gaze toward Shangguan You now tinged with scrutiny.

They had slept like the dead last night and hadn’t thought Shen Jia and the other three would pull something like this. Thinking back on their insistence on coming to room 5288 this morning, there was no need to ask what was going on.

No one expected they’d end up bringing this on themselves. Still, an incident this big was definitely going to damage the school’s reputation.

The story of the "Hot Springs Four-Way" spread across every corner of B City like wildfire, fueled by those with ulterior motives. City B First Middle School came under heavy scrutiny from the public, blowing up all over TV and the Internet. All sorts of versions were circulating online.

"Sixteen or seventeen years old—a prime age for study and acquiring knowledge. City B First Middle School is a top high school, with a ten percent college admission rate every year! But for four girls in Class One to chase thrills and have a four-way—this is simply unacceptable. So young, hiding it from their families, hiding it from school, doing a four-way and with thugs, too! In other schools, maybe that’s normal, but something as debauched as a four-way, happening at the city’s most famous hot springs resort—if you can even get in there, your family must have connections. So is it the school’s responsibility? Or... is it the school’s responsibility? There’s room for doubt."

"Top students at First Middle, waving checks for tens of thousands, looking up thugs, publicly having a four-way in a hotel room for kicks, getting busted by reporters, then accusing their four-way partners of rape. Where does the blame lie—with the high-achieving students or with the street thugs?"

"Rich girls play four-way, get caught, threaten the reporters or else they’ll make them disappear!"

The four-way scandal grew like a snowball, with every possible version making its way onto TV, newspapers, and the internet, publicly called into question by society.

Shen Jia, Gao Lili, Li Ruo, and Liao Si had their entire family histories dug up by reporters, who camped outside their houses day and night; their families couldn’t step out the door without being hounded. The four girls were suspended from school and made to take a leave at home.

As for Shangguan You, who was the original target, she simply took time off and stayed at home, shutting out all outside news. The situation for Shen Jia and the others was their own fault; given how thick-skinned they were, once the scandal blew over, they’d be back to their old tricks.

She didn’t feel any guilt at all. At home, she studied for her exams, practiced martial arts, made potions, and learned about herbs, all without neglecting anything. At the same time, she kept a close watch on B City’s pharmaceutical companies—now she was just waiting for the exams to end.
