Xia Ruya exposed herself when she helped an old lady who fell to the ground while going to the supermarket to buy things. Her hiding place was soon found by reporters, who then surrounded the small villa where she was hiding.
She quickly called Ning Shuqian.
At this time, Xia Ruya was holding a baseball bat, huddled in the closet in the room, her pale face full of fear, panic flashing in her dark eyes, and her hands trembling so much that she could hardly hold the bat.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the window, followed by the sound of metal friction. Xia Ruya was so scared that her face turned pale and she subconsciously shrank her body tighter.
"Ring, ring, ring—"
At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door outside. She bit her lower lip tightly and hid in the cramped and narrow space. Her body was stiff to the extreme and she didn't dare to move even a little bit.
"Ring, ring, ring—"
The doorbell kept ringing. The piercing and sharp sound made Xia Ruya jump with fear for a while. Then she covered her ears tightly with both hands, hoping to block out the piercing ringing outside.
Although all this was planned and expected by her, she still found it unbearable when she really faced it. Whenever she thought of her most private and secret area, as if her legs were spread open and under a magnifying glass, being viewed and discussed by everyone, she felt humiliated, embarrassed, and even dirty. Now she had to face so many media reporters, as if she had been stripped naked and the last layer of fig leaf had been torn off. This feeling was like sprinkling a handful of salt on an already rotten wound, which was excruciatingly painful and heart-wrenching.
A shrill music ringtone suddenly awakened her crazy thoughts. She clenched the phone in her hand in horror, and it took her a while to realize that the music ringtone came from her phone.
Xia Ruya heaved a sigh of relief suddenly, and her tense body softened like a loosened string. She quickly lowered her head to check her cell phone, only to find that the person who called her was Ning Shuqian.
Ning Shuqian, you came here so quickly.
Xia Ruya quickly picked up the phone, and Ning Shuqian's voice came over: "Ruya, I'm here, come quickly and open the door for me!"
Xia Ruya asked nervously, "Aunt Ning, are there still many reporters waiting outside? If I open the door like this, will it be..."
She knows the madness of reporters better than anyone else. She is not afraid of being surrounded by reporters, but she is afraid that some extremely emotional reporters will do something bad to her.
Ning Shuqian understood what she meant and quickly said, "There are many reporters guarding outside. I was surrounded by reporters as soon as I arrived. Fortunately, I hired a few strong bodyguards. Those reporters holding pens are all weak, so I was relatively safe along the way."
Xia Ruya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Ning Shuqian's scheming and methods were indeed extraordinary.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruya hurried out of the closet where she was hiding. At this moment, there was a loud noise from the window outside, and then the window was actually pried open from the outside.
"Ah--" Xia Ruya screamed, and the baseball bat in her hand suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp clang, and then she ran out of the room like crazy.
Xia Ruya ran to the living room and saw a gray figure reflected on the thin curtains on the glass window. A reporter had actually climbed onto the windowsill.
Her lips trembled, and she quickly ran to the door, opened the safety bolt, and opened the door, leaving an opening just enough for one person to enter.
Ning Shuqian squeezed in and said, "Ruya, pack up your things and come with me. This place is no longer habitable. I just saw a lot of reporters squatting outside. One reporter even climbed up the windowsill along the sewer pipe and tried to pry the window open."
Xia Ruya said, "I don't have anything to pack, I'm leaving now."
Ning Shuqian nodded, took her hand and walked out the door.
As soon as they went out, a group of reporters swarmed towards them, with flash lights flashing non-stop, the sound of "clicking", and the noisy voices that were so deafening that their eardrums were about to burst.
"Quick, quick, Xia Ruya is coming out, coming out..."
Seeing this, several bodyguards surrounded them from the front and back, holding electric batons in their hands, and led them away in a menacing manner.
The reporters did not dare to confront the bodyguards head-on, knowing that if they were injured in this situation, they would have no choice but to blame themselves for their bad luck. However, their persistence in getting news made them still indomitable, and they continued to rush forward one after another.
"Ms. Xia, could you please share your thoughts on publishing the virginity/hymen identification certificate?"
"Ms. Xia, in order to prove your innocence, you published your virginity certificate to the media. This shocking move is unheard of and shocking to the world. Aren't you afraid of everyone's strange looks?"
"Ms. Xia, you are going to hold a press conference and announce your virginity certificate in public. This is undoubtedly stripping off your clothes, spreading your legs, and exposing your most private parts to everyone. You are damaging your reputation in this way in order to prove your innocence. Is it really worth it?"
The reporters' questions were sharper, more fierce, and more embarrassing than each other. Xia Ruya was protected by bodyguards in the middle. Listening to these questions, a feeling of humiliation, embarrassment, and despair overwhelmed her like a tide.
She wanted to rush forward and snatch the cameras, microphones, and recorders from these people...
She suddenly stopped walking. "I published my virginity certificate because I don't want anyone to maliciously speculate and spread false news to tarnish my reputation. Rather than letting others ruin my innocence and tarnish my reputation, I might as well stand up and give myself an explanation. I hope everyone will leave me a last bit of dignity and stop entangled in this matter."
Xia Ruya's voice was choked with sobs. Her pale and haggard face had a pair of red and swollen eyes like walnuts. There were clear traces of tears on her face, like a river of endless sadness. Her dry lips were like a thirsty fish, opening and closing desperately and powerlessly, spitting out saliva as if to create a glimmer of life for herself. Her thin and frail body was like a flower blooming in the cold winter, trembling and swaying on the branches, as if it could not withstand any wind and rain.
Ning Shuqian protected Xia Ruya and looked at the reporters around her angrily: "Ruya is just an underage girl. She has never done anything wrong. Why do you have to be so aggressive?"
Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian's words did not arouse any emotion among the reporters at all. Ning Shuqian had no choice but to flee in a panic with Xia Ruya under the protection of bodyguards.
