Hao Jian obviously didn't expect that Zhao Cheng could show up with so many people so late at night.
Of course the three of them couldn't do it.
Besides, they didn't come here to fight.
The fat man said, "What are you doing? We are just here to meet some beautiful girls, why do we have to fight and kill them?"
Hao Jian immediately said, "Oh, we are here to look for Miss Xia, what does it have to do with you, Zhao Cheng?"
The thin guy also said, "Why don't we ask the beautiful lady first? Maybe she is willing to go with us. Aren't you meddling in other people's business?"
When he said this, he looked at Xia Mian meaningfully, "Beauty, are you going out to talk with the brothers alone?" He looked around and said maliciously, "Why don't we just have this chat in front of our classmates?"
Xia Mian stood up while playing with the Walkman in his hand and said calmly, "Things can't be told to others. I've always been an open person. Why don't we just talk about it like this?"
Hao Jianyi pointed out something, "Can we talk about how you got into the police station?"
There was a slight noise around, and many people looked at Tian Xueya, seemingly unable to tell who was wrong.
"Sure." Xia Mian tilted her head, "It's a good opportunity for me to find the source of the rumor. After all, Tian Xueya just said that she has a good relationship with you. I heard this from you. I want to know who told you this?"
Tian Xueya, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, then she thought of Xia Mian suddenly calling her name, and her heart suddenly rose again. As a famous beauty in the first year of high school, she had of course been blocked by Hao Jian.
As expected, Hao Jian immediately looked at Tian Xueya accurately, winked at her and smiled, "Miss Tian, we have a very good relationship. Why don't we go out and play together?"
Tian Xueya was so scared that her face turned pale. She shook her head and hid behind him, "I won't go! I won't go!" Then she turned around and lay on the table, not daring to look up.
Hao Jian didn't care anymore, after all, their main purpose of coming today was not this, but in comparison, Xia Mian seemed much more exciting.
"Xia Mian, I want to save your face." Hao Jian said, "Do you really want to say this here?"
"Indeed." Xia Mian said with a frown, "I beg you to tell me quickly, don't say it's a dog."
His reaction was so unexpected that Hao Jian choked and snorted, "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Isn't it obvious why you were put in jail?"
His eyes swept across Xia Mian's chest, and he smiled obscenely at the fat man and the thin man, "Look at this slut, seducing men everywhere, what else could it be for?"
In this conservative age where all children are picked up from trash cans or on the roadside, it is rare to see couples holding hands on the street.
Some high school students were still relatively innocent in their thinking, and they intuitively knew that what the fat man said was not a good thing, and they did not react at all to what Hao Jian meant.
But suddenly there was an abrupt exclamation from the front row of the classroom.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Tian Xueya who made the sound, and saw that her face was flushed and she looked at Xia Mian with an incredulous expression.
This reaction alerted everyone, and they all looked at Xia Mian in surprise, with disbelief in their eyes.
Xia Mian was not affected at all. He narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "Can you please explain clearly why?"
"Of course, because it's for selling!" The fat man seemed a little impatient. They have been in society for a long time, and compared to Hao Jian's implicitness, they are much more direct.
The fat man sneered, "I've seen a lot of girls like you. You look like innocent schoolgirls, but when you take off your clothes, you don't know how much..."
"Fuck your mother!" Zhao Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward, grabbed the fat man by the collar, and punched him, "I'll make you spew shit out of your mouth."
Sun Yuexin also turned around and pointed at Tian Xueya who seemed to be at a loss, and said angrily, "Why, they are also your acquaintances, Tian Xueya? You know them so well, and you know them when others don't."
Tian Xueya's eyes suddenly turned red with grievance.
It's a pity that Sun Yuexin couldn't take care of it.
The fat man over there was holding Zhao Cheng down and beating him up. The thin man saw that the others were about to come over and immediately said, "Xia Mian, if you don't want us to spread your affairs everywhere, you'd better tell them to stop! Otherwise, I guarantee that you won't be able to stay in Yan City anymore!"
Zhao Cheng suddenly felt a little hesitant, Xia Mian frowned, "Alright, don't fight for now."
Zhao Cheng pushed the fat man angrily, and the fat man staggered and stood right in front of Xia Mian.
He thought Xia Mian was scared, so he touched his burning cheeks. Thinking that he had been beaten for nothing, he was so angry that he rushed forward to grab Xia Mian, "You stinky girl, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Come with me!"
Xia Mian quickly ran to the side and dodged, "Why should I go with you? Where are you taking me?!"
Hao Jian seemed to find this cat-and-mouse game interesting, so he came over from the other side and said with a grin, "Let's go to King, our new nightclub in Longcheng District. It's fun, I guarantee you won't regret it!"
Zhao Cheng and the boys he brought with him protected Xia Mian. Xia Mian dodged left and right, and the three men couldn't catch him at all.
"You scum! I won't go with you!"
The fat man sneered, "I advise you to behave yourself, so that we can treat you better. Otherwise, we will post your selling all over the school tomorrow, and I will see if you can stay here..."
Xia Mian immediately stopped and stopped Zhao Cheng and the others from doing so. She looked at him and asked, "What's the best way?"
Seeing that he had found Xia Mian's weakness, the thin guy stopped the irritable fat guy and played the good guy. "That's a lot of benefits. You won't have any problems walking around in school anymore. The brothers will also cover your living expenses. How about fifty a month?"
Xia Mian said, "Why should I trust you?"
"Do you know Qiao Jianyu? He's our grandfather. The top leaders of Longcheng District have to listen to his grandfather's words." Hao Jian said proudly, "Why?"
As he said this, he pounced on him suddenly, and his claws tried to take advantage of the situation.
The fat guy over there also came up unexpectedly to block the way.
"aestivation!"
"Xia Mian, be careful!"
Zhao Cheng, Sun Yuexin, Li Lizhen and others rushed over hastily, thinking that Xia Mian was going to be taken advantage of by the two thugs, but they saw Xia Mian calmly raise her arm and swing it gracefully.
Hao Jian suddenly covered his head and screamed, then staggered two steps as if he was drunk.
Before some people could react to what was happening, Xia Mian turned his hand and the fat man who rushed up from the other side also screamed in pain, taking the same steps as Hao Jian, and fell to the ground with a bang, following in his footsteps.
"Xia, Xia Mian..." Zhao Cheng was stunned when he saw the blood flowing down their foreheads.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the thin man was about to run out. Xia Mian shouted, "Zhao Cheng, don't be dazed, stop him, don't let him run away!"
Zhao Cheng and the others subconsciously did as they were told, and immediately five or six young men pressed the thin man to the ground together.
Xia Mian seemed to realize what he had done. He was so scared that he threw the brick in his hand, which happened to hit the thin man's nose, and blood gushed out immediately.
Zhao Cheng and the others all looked at him in shock.
Xia Mian also looked frightened, sobbing, "I'm scared to death, these people are so mean, I'm scared."
"Ahh... What should I do if it bleeds?" Xia Mian looked at a loss.
Everyone: …
Didn't you smash it all? We are scared too!
Zhao Cheng was afraid that someone might die, so he hurriedly said, "Why don't we send him to the hospital?"
"Don't move them." Xia Mian said, "If we move them carelessly, this kind of injury will turn into a big deal. Let's just call an ambulance."
Looking at Hao Jian who was about to wake up, he said, "Hold them down and don't let them move. Otherwise, if one of them dies, I'll be a murderer."
Sun Yuexin said, "Please don't make it sound so scary."
Li Lizhen said, "What should I do now?"
"Don't worry, it'll be alright." It was just a slight concussion at most.
Xia Mian took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed 110 directly, "Hello, police officer, I want to call the police."
"Some social figures broke into Yanzhou High School and lured and coerced female students to go to nightclubs to sell sex."
"… "
"Well, three members of society were injured during the students' rebellion. Do we need to call an ambulance?"
"… "
"Well, Senior High School Grade 1, Class 3, please come quickly, police officer. We are scared."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Mian stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's over. Just keep an eye on them and wait. The police will be here soon."
Everyone was stunned by this series of operations.
The skinny guy had his nose smacked, but now he was clear-headed. When he heard the police were coming, he immediately struggled, "Xia Mian, Xia classmate, we're sorry, we were wrong. We had other intentions later, we just wanted to make friends."
"If you don't want to, forget it. We won't dare to do it again in the future."
"No," Xia Mian said fearfully, "If you spread rumors about me everywhere, I won't be able to go to school. I still believe in the police uncle."
The more satisfying it was to threaten him before, the more regretful the skinny guy feels now.
This girl looks weak and timid, but she is so cruel!
Xia Mian worriedly instructed, "Hold all three of them tightly, don't let them escape, otherwise if they want to retaliate against us, it will be troublesome."
The teenagers had experienced this kind of scene before. They always turned pale when they mentioned gangsters. Now, they were pinning them to the ground and rubbing them. It was so satisfying.
Suddenly, everyone became extremely alert.
Zhao Cheng and Sun Yuexin thought they were brave enough because they were from a military school, but then they thought Xia Mian was even more amazing, and what he did was really cool.
Xia Mian looked back at the classmates who were all shocked, and tilted his head. "It will take another ten minutes for the police to come. I will use this time to teach you some legal knowledge about what happened today."
As he spoke, he walked to his seat, picked up a book, slowly walked to the podium and held up the book.
"Criminal Law of the Republic of China" These two words make it clear to everyone.
Xia Mian's eyes fell on Tian Xueya's face, "Didn't Tian Xueya say that I said in person that I was involved in some criminal case? I'll talk to her today and resolve the rumor at the same time."
Tian Xueya said stubbornly, "I heard everything just now. It was Hao Jian and the others who said that you..."
Xia Mian smiled gently, "Don't be nervous, I won't wrongly accuse you."
Just open a page of the Criminal Law and start reading:
"Article 246 of the Criminal Law stipulates that intentionally fabricating and spreading fictitious facts that are sufficient to denigrate the personality of others and destroy their reputation, and the circumstances are serious, is a crime of defamation."
"The object of defamation is the same as that of insult, which is the personal dignity and reputation of others. The object of the crime is a natural person. The act of fabricating certain facts, that is, the content of defaming others, is completely fictitious."
Xia Mian raised his head and looked around. "I thought I had clarified this point, and everyone knows it. However, I clearly declare again that the story about me being in police station is completely fictitious. Therefore, this matter has caused serious damage to my personality and reputation!"
The classmates' eyes all fell on Tian Xueya, who looked aggrieved.
Xia Mian didn't care and continued to read with his head down: "The act of spreading fabricated facts. To spread means to spread them openly in society. There are basically two ways of spreading: one is to spread through words; the other is to spread through words, that is, to spread through posters, small posters, pictures, newspapers, books, letters, etc."
Xia Mian looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Tian Xueya's face, "Did you hear that? The evidence for defamation includes verbal dissemination."
"This shouldn't be too difficult for the police, right?"
Tian Xueya's aggrieved expression became stiff.
"Defamation must be directed at a specific person, but it does not necessarily require naming the person. It is only necessary to know who the offender is from the content of the defamation in order to constitute defamation."
After Xia Mian finished reading, he tilted his head and smiled, "After seeing this, I realized that the law is very strict and has blocked the way for some people to quibble. After all, now even the gangsters in society have come to me because of this rumor."
"Since this crime is in the Criminal Law, there will naturally be a sentence. Let me tell you what kind of punishment the person who spread this rumor will receive."
Xia Mian turned a page: "The act of fabricating facts to slander others with serious circumstances constitutes this crime. ... The so-called serious circumstances... fabricating facts to cause serious damage to the personality and reputation of others; fabricating facts to slander others to cause bad influence; slandering others to cause mental disorder or cause others to commit suicide, etc."
Xia Mian raised his head, "My personality and reputation have been damaged. Even a fool can see that, right?"
"I am an upright student, but I am called a criminal for no apparent reason!"
"As for the adverse effects..." Xia Mian pointed at the three people pinned to the ground, "Let me ask you, if it wasn't me but you who encountered this kind of thing today, what would you do?"
"Just because you casually spread a rumor for some unknown purpose, I made people think that you had a history of selling sex, and thus threatened people in society!"
"If I had met Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen later, and had Zhao Cheng and the others' protection, and I had successfully taken these scum away... what would have happened?"
Xia Mian carefully scanned everyone's eyes, and finally looked at Tian Xueya and asked sternly, "Will insanity and suicide be my final outcome?"
"Can you bear this kind of responsibility?!"
Tian Xueya couldn't help but scream, "It wasn't me, I told you it wasn't me who said that! It was Hao Jian who said that, that's what he said!"
Sun Yuexin said angrily, "You look like a fool. If you weren't jealous of Xia Mian, this wouldn't have happened today!"
At first, the students did think a lot about it, after all, they were still young and didn’t realize that things would be so complicated.
But now the example of summer hibernation is right in front of us. Imagine that the rumors were clarified before their malicious speculations. Imagine that because of misunderstandings, someone helped them and took those three scum away... "
They were all a little scared. Thinking about how Tian Xueya had been adding fuel to the fire in order to show off her innocence today, they suddenly felt disgusted.
Tian Xueya naturally felt it, and stood up and cried to Xia Mian, "You are talking nonsense, I didn't say it later, it was obviously not me!"
It seems to emphasize that if it is not , it is not .
Xia Mian said softly, "Classmate Tian Xueya, calm down. I never said it was you."
"I know it's Hao Jian." Xia Mian turned a page and whispered, "Let me tell you what his fate will be, okay?"
"Oh, here it is... Anyone who commits this crime shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, controlled release, or deprivation of political rights."
Xia Mian raised her head and smiled at Tian Xueya, "I've already called the police, so let them investigate this matter as well, and then lock him up for another year or two..."
"However, during the investigation, you may need to cooperate and make a statement, Tian Xueya."
"No, don't..." Tian Xueya was completely panicked, "Don't call the police, I won't go with the police..."
Xia Mian was surprised. "Why are you panicking? I just went to cooperate with the investigation and make a statement. Didn't you say that it was a rumor spread by Hao Jian?"
"Don't worry, the police won't wrongly accuse you if you do it later. Hao Jian can't lie either. We have lie detectors now..."
"No, I don't want to. I won't go with the police..." Tian Xueya's face was covered in cold sweat. She suddenly stood up and rushed out of the classroom and fled.
Everyone was surprised that there was still something Yu didn't understand.
Xia Mian sighed and said to Gu Zhou, "Student Gu, please go check on her. It's so late, and she's just a girl. Don't let anything happen to her."
Gu Zhou hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly called his desk mate to chase after him.
Xia Mian looked at his watch. Only five minutes had passed and he still heard the sirens, so he continued, "Since we're talking about this, let me give you a brief introduction to self-defense."
Xia Mian turned the page and read, "According to Article 20 of the Criminal Law, ... if a person's or another person's personal, property, or other rights are protected from ongoing unlawful infringement, and the person takes actions to stop the unlawful infringement, and the unlawful infringer causes damage, it is considered legitimate defense and the person shall not bear criminal responsibility."
Looking at Hao Jian, the fat man and the thin man who had already regained consciousness, he explained, "What I mean is, you threatened me and forced me to go to the nightclub to do illegal things, and when I resisted, I cut your heads open, which was self-defense."
"To sum it up, it should be a good fight!"
Xia Mian said to the nervous Zhao Cheng and the others, "So, don't worry about it. As long as they don't die, it's fine."
The thin guy's brain was quick, and he suddenly realized, "You, you did it on purpose... You made us say so much on purpose!"
If they came and took the person away directly, it would be coercion at most, and there would be no evidence of prostitution at all. Oh no, that idiot Hao Jian even mentioned the name of the nightclub!
The thin guy was sweating profusely, and threatened his classmates fiercely, "If any of you dare to testify for me, Brother Qiao will not let you off. If it's not you, your parents will lose their jobs too!"
After he finished shouting, the students looked at each other, and someone said weakly, "We, we are not afraid of you!"
Someone immediately echoed, "We are not afraid of you. If you cause trouble for us, we will send you to the police station!"
Xia Mian was stunned for a moment. To be honest, she didn't have any expectations for these classmates. After all, they had only known each other for a few days and there was no need to develop any deep feelings. There was no need for people to take risks for such a small thing.
But I seem to have forgotten that children of this age are innocent and passionate. They may not be able to distinguish right from wrong for a while, but they also have the courage to not fear power.
She smiled and said to everyone, "Thank you, I am really honored to be assigned to our class."
was also excited, "Well, don't worry, Xia Mian, if you need us, we will testify for you."
"I appreciate your kindness," Xia Mian smiled, "but it's not necessary."
He picked up the Walkman he was playing with and pressed a button:
"… "
"… If you don't want us to spread your story everywhere, you'd better tell them to stop! Otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to stay in Yan City!"
…
"You stinky bitch, if you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you. Follow me!"
…
"Let's go to King, our new nightclub in Longcheng District. It's so much fun, I guarantee you won't regret it!"
…
"I advise you to behave yourself, so that we can treat you better. Otherwise, we will post your selling information all over the school tomorrow, and I will see if you can stay here..."
…
"Do you know Qiao Jianyu? He is our grandfather. The top leaders of Longcheng District have to listen to his grandfather's words."
"… "
She looked at the thin man and whispered, "I'm sorry, I recorded everything. I don't need to ask for the testimonies of the classmates."
Zhao Cheng couldn't help but whistle, "So cool!"
Sun Yuexin excitedly put her arm around Xia Mian's shoulders, "Sister, you're awesome!"
Xia Mian put the Walkman away and asked the still dizzy Hao Jian, "Do you want to know why I was in police station?"
"Because I helped catch criminals who trafficked and kidnapped women and children, and I used self-defense during that time..." A lot of bricks were thrown at that time.
"People like you..." Xia Mian smiled and said softly, "Don't embarrass yourself in front of me."
Although her gaze was so nonchalant, Hao Jian felt a chill running down his spine, and he vaguely realized that this girl was not someone he was going to mess with.
Of course he is not easy to deal with. If he were a good person, he would not have taken the ambulance first and then went to the police station.
When the sirens sounded, the door of Class 3 of Grade 1 was crowded with people. Zhao Cheng and seven or eight other rebellious teenagers were so proud. It was super exciting to escort criminals with the police officers.
With Xia Mian's recording and the testimony of Zhao Cheng and others, and it being clear that Hao Jian, the fat man and the thin man were not good people, the matter was simple and clear.
I just asked one more question during summer sleep:
"Why are there bricks?"
"I heard them discussing in the bathroom that they were going to come find me this afternoon. I was scared, so I picked one up just in case."
"Why did you think of telling the teacher?"
Of course, I told the teacher and found a way to completely solve the problem.
"I thought I could just scare them and leave, but then I thought the rumor would spread so widely among them and things would become so serious..."
…
When Xia Mian finished taking the statement and came out, the head teachers of the seven classes involved had all arrived.
Most of them were in disheveled clothes and obviously came in a hurry.
The police handed the students over to the class teacher and said, "These kids are quite smart. They are trying to protect their classmates. It's so late today, so don't say anything more. Just take them back and let them rest."
The head teachers welcomed them out, bowing and expressing their gratitude in various ways.
The head teachers took their respective students away. Michael looked at Xia Mian, Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen and sighed, "The teacher knows everything. You did it right."
"But next time I hope you can tell the teacher in advance. If you can't handle this kind of thing well, it will be very dangerous."
"You are all girls. It is too dangerous to go home at night. The teacher has already notified your parents. Please wait here for a while."
Xia Mian was startled. Xia Yueyue had been very busy recently and could only sleep five or six hours a day. She didn't want to make him worry.
Then I suddenly remembered that the phone number left in the back seemed to be Ning Shaobai's cell phone number.
At that time, I was thinking that if something happened, asking Ning Shaoyun would just be one more person to worry about, so asking Ning Shaobai would be just right. But later I thought of it and it came in handy so soon...
Thinking of this, Xia Mian couldn't help but feel guilty. It was so late, Dr. Ning would probably scold her to death...
