As a newly promoted person who has left the singles, Qi Xi always has a sense of being close to home and being cowardly. She hugged Gu Yan and coquettishly for a while, and after confirming that all this is true psychologically, she was a little confused like Let go of Gu Yan like a koala that left the tree branch.
Qi Xi's face was still very red, and he was still a little nervous. In order to relieve this strange emotion and divert his attention, Qi Xi cleared his throat and decided to focus on more professional things: "Then How is Lin Lin? Your female neighbor, has she been threatened by her ex-boyfriend? "
Previously, she only focused on her own relationship problems, but now her mood has calmed down, Qi Xi is also concerned about that female neighbor, she feels ashamed of her inexplicable jealousy before, it is hard to imagine that such a gentle girl is threatened by her ex-boyfriend, The only hope is that Lin Lin's troubles have been resolved.
Gu Yan pondered for a while: "Actually, the evidence collection is basically in place. Her ex-boyfriend really didn't know what to do. In the beginning, he just used the chat records obtained during the previous relationship to threaten Lin Lin to get back together. You know, between friends and couples, complaining about the boss Or strange colleagues, this is a very normal thing, but now they have broken up, they even took these screenshots of the chat records, threatening Lin Lin to send them to those who were complained about one by one, making her socially dead, taking advantage of Lin Lin's fear, Constantly manipulating Lin Lin's emotions, constantly asking her to go out on dates, shopping, watching movies, and trying to get back together, and now it has developed to asking Lin Lin for money."
Want money
As soon as he heard that money was involved, Qi Xi became interested: "Is the amount large? Can it be based on extortion?"
This kind of guy who can threaten the privacy of girls he has gained during the relationship, if he backs down every time and doesn't fight back thoroughly at once, he may be like a leech and keep sucking blood.
If it is just a general combination of threats, even if you call the police, it is probably a small punishment. It may not only fail to stop the other party's behavior, but may even irritate the other party and make the other party make more extreme harassment, but if blackmail is involved The nature of criminal offenses such as blackmail is completely different. It is entirely possible to introduce public powers such as the procuratorate to intervene, so that the other party can't afford to go around.
Gu Yan nodded: "The completed amount has long exceeded the scope of larger amounts. So far, Lin Lin has been extorted five times. As of the last statistics of Lin Lin, a total of about 140,000 has been taken away from Lin Lin. money."
Although in the past when Lin Lin was regarded as Gu Yan's genuine Baiyueguang, Qi Xi always had a sour mood secretly poking at her, treating her as an imaginary enemy, and would always secretly scold her as if she was victorious in spirit. Yan, but now that she heard about the other party's experience, Qi Xi put herself in the shoes of a woman, and this kind of empathy immediately made her very angry: "We can't go on like this, we can't sit still, since we have collected all the evidence, then we Let Lin Lin go to the police!"
As a result, Gu Yan shook his head helplessly and said with a headache, "That's the problem. Lin Lin disagreed with calling the police. She used it several times and then called the police to warn her ex-boyfriend, and also told the police. His behavior has been suspected of serious crimes, and I hope he will stop, but the other party is unscrupulous, as if he is sure that Lin Lin will not go to the police, not only did not restrain himself, but even worse. I also persuaded her and analyzed the pros and cons with her, but She still hasn't moved."
How did that happen? Once you go to the police, this is a sure win!
Qi Xi couldn't understand Lin Lin's decision, but since she is in Gu Yan's house at the moment, why not ask Lin Lin downstairs to come out and have a face-to-face talk
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard Qi Xi's plan, but then nodded clearly: "Okay, maybe you are both girls, and you can get closer to her psychology when you chat with her."
Qi Xi nodded, and couldn't help adding: "But I want to declare that I am not willing to help because I know that Lin Lin is not your girlfriend." Qi Xi said seriously, "Even if Lin Lin is your girlfriend My friend, even if it's your wife, if I know that she has encountered such a thing, I will help her to the end."
Gu Yan was stunned, and then said with a helpless and helpless expression: "You don't need to explain this, because I know what kind of person you are, but I have to declare one thing, no one else will be my daughter A friend or my wife."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, picked up his phone, and started sending messages to Lin Lin.
He stopped talking just now, and didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Gu Yan's eyes on Qi Xi have already conveyed what he wanted to say.
No one else will be his girlfriend or future wife, only Qi Xi.
Qi Xi felt dizzy. It was right for him not to fall in love in college, because men are indeed a stumbling block in work and study. He had just devoted himself to thinking about Lin Lin, but at the moment he looked at Gu Yan, unexpectedly It's a bit of a delusional illusion.
How can this man always carry private goods in such a serious manner!
Qi Xi patted Gu Yan with a bit of sternness, and while they were making a fuss, there was a knock on the door—Lin Lin happened to be at home, and as soon as Gu Yan contacted her, she came upstairs.
Qi Xi rectified her appearance and acted like a dignified workplace beauty before asking Gu Yan to open the door.
It's only been a few days since I've seen her. Lin Lin, who was gentle and fair in her original impression, now has a haggard sallow complexion, her eyes are not bright, and her lips are a little chapped from not drinking for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Qi Xi felt uncomfortable.
Being threatened with privacy by someone who was once close, how much psychological pressure does it take to describe it as so haggard
At this moment, Qi Xi didn't know how to speak the words that were in her mouth. She subconsciously did what she thought she should do—she hugged Lin Lin gently, and then patted her on the back.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
There were not too many words or promises, but it was just such a hug and comfort. Lin Lin's originally tense face finally showed a crack that could not be sustained, and she buried her head on Qi Xi's shoulder and cried.
Probably because her emotions have not been vented, Lin Lin cried for nearly half an hour.
During the period, Qi Xi didn't rush the other party, but just patiently patted the other party's back, waiting for the other party's mood to ease.
After Lin Lin cried, she really seemed to relax a bit. She looked at Qi Xi with red and swollen eyes: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
Qi Xi took a few tissues for her: "It's okay, what happened to you, actually happened to many other girls, but trust us, we will definitely be able to handle it well."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Lin Lin's face darkened: "It's not that easy..." She choked up slightly, "He has a lot of things against me."
handle? Are you referring to the so-called chat records of Lin Lin complaining about her colleagues and bosses behind her back
Qi Xi glanced at Gu Yan, and just wanted to ask Gu Yan if he could talk to Lin Lin alone first, but Gu Yan seemed to have a feeling, he smiled at Qi Xi, and understood Qi Xi's unfinished words very tacitly , very naturally: "I'm going to prepare some fruit for you."
As soon as Gu Yan left, Qi Xi didn't hide it: "Lin Lin, what happened to you? Does your boyfriend really only have your chat records?"
Many ordinary people will complain about their colleagues and bosses. Even if these complaints are made public by malicious ex-boyfriends, it will not reach the point of completely destroying people, because jobs can be changed. At worst, resign and leave. Do it all over again.
If you really love this job so much that you don't want to leave, then maybe you can take the opportunity to have a sincere talk with the colleague and boss who was complained about to untie the knot; if the person who was complained about really minds, then as long as Lin Lin I have a thick skin, and no one can do anything to her in the company. Besides, if she can be complained about behind her back, it means that these colleagues or bosses do have problems in their daily behavior. Maybe Lin Lin can become the admired by other colleagues What about the object
In either case, it's far better than being pinched endlessly by a disgusting ex-boyfriend.
And Lin Lin is still unwilling to call the police because of this, Qi Xi thinks, is it possible that this ex-boyfriend has something in his hands, far more than what Lin Lin said? Anything else
Qi Xi looked into Lin Lin's eyes: "Lin Lin, don't care if I will judge you after I find out, I am a lawyer now, no matter what you do, I will not use the outside world's three views of morality to judge you. Judging you, I will only evaluate your actions on a legal level and analyze the risks of your actions. If you want to get rid of your ex-boyfriend, then you need to tell us all the real circumstances, otherwise we can't really help you."
Probably understood the seriousness in Qi Xi's expression, Lin Lin bit her lips in embarrassment, a little hesitant, a little embarrassed, but in the end, after struggling for a long time, she opened her mouth: "He is the first boyfriend I have dated. , I was ignorant at the time, and it was the first time I fell in love, and I invested too much, because I gave him too many firsts, I always felt that I wanted a relationship and talked about marriage, but... it turned out that after he was with me for a long time, I fell in love with him. I found out that he was flirting with others."
Qi Xi had some guesses in her mind, she frowned slightly, and looked at Lin Lin: "So you..."
"So I quarreled with him in order to save it, but he said that because he works in the financial circle and often needs to travel, he often doesn't see me. He said he is a normal man. In terms of needs, and I'm not around, he can't help... "
When Lin Lin said this, her expression was full of frustration: "So I listened to him, and once he was on a business trip, I would take some private videos of him, and I would do whatever poses and actions he asked me to do, just thinking about This will tie his heart."
When Lin Lin talked about this, Qi Xi fully understood that the reason why she still couldn't make up her mind to call the police after being threatened in such a way was because she was controlled by her ex-boyfriend, and it wasn't just as simple as complaining about the chat records of her boss and colleagues.
Qi Xi's tone became more serious: "So he is threatening you with these videos now?"
Lin Lin's eyes were red, and she nodded: "Yes. I was only a freshman when I met him. He was already working at that time, five years older than me, and much more mature than me. I was too in love before. After entering the society, I came into contact with more people and things, and gradually calmed down, knowing that a person like him is not suitable for me. He works in the financial circle, but his three views on doing things don’t agree with me. For example, he will use Opportunities for business trips, false reimbursement, and then in order to attract projects and investment, he will always invite those partners to KTV or high-end clubs and other places where the ball is around, and he really likes flirting, the feeling is engraved in his bones, Can't change it."
Speaking of this, Qi Xi also guessed: "So you mentioned breaking up?"
"Yes, he readily agreed at the beginning, because he is engaged in financial work and is considered a high-income group. There is no shortage of girls who can fill his vacant period. It's just that he didn't expect that not long after the breakup, he made false claims for public welfare. The matter was reported by a colleague. At that time, the project he led before also had problems, and the performance was not good. Just when the labor contract with their company expired, the company's personnel made a decision not to renew the contract. I fired him, he lost his job all of a sudden, and posted the money from the company's previous false reimbursement cash out, and the women who flirted with him before also ran away, and he looked back and thought of me."
Speaking of this, Lin Lin couldn't help her emotions, and tears fell down: "Although I was in pain for a while after breaking up with him, when he came to contact me again, I had actually walked out. Because of work reasons, I got a new boy who treated me very well, respected me, and was very dedicated and gentle. This boy just confessed to me at the time, and we were just together, but I didn’t expect that at this time, my ex-boyfriend came to find me closed the door."
When Qi Xi heard this, apart from sympathy for Lin Lin, she was also angry at her trashy ex-boyfriend: "He threatened you with those private photos and videos you took before?"
Lin Lin nodded: "Yes, he said that he saw that I started a new relationship from my Weibo, and said that he couldn't let me go and wanted to get back together with me, but I refused, and he didn't expect that he would take those private messages later. Photos, videos and past chat records threatened me, if I don’t agree to get back together, he will send these to my current boyfriend to see if he wants me.”
It turned out to be this kind of scum!
Lin Lin burst into tears when she talked about this: "My boyfriend at the time was really, really nice. Although his family wasn't very rich, he came from a family of intellectuals, and his parents were very gentle. I really don't want My previous scandals were exposed in front of them, and I don’t want to see him show disgust towards me after learning all this. With my ex-boyfriend holding those things in his hand as a hindrance, it is impossible for me and my current boyfriend to have a future Now, I thought that since this is the case, it would be better to leave his world decently, so I resolutely broke up regardless of the other party's persuasion."
"I thought that my ex-boyfriend just lost his job and was not going well. Seeing that my work and love life are on the right track, I feel unbalanced. As long as I break up with my current boyfriend, it will be fine, but I didn't expect his threats to start to escalate. He said it's fine if I refuse to get back together, but I want to accompany him for the last time, as long as I accompany him for the last time, he will owe me nothing."
How could it be the last time
Lin Lin, who was at the center of the incident, might have believed her ex-boyfriend's words because of her panic, but Qi Xi, who was a bystander, could almost be convinced after hearing this.
Sure enough, Lin Lin was about to break down in tears when she continued her statement: "But I didn't expect that he is like a bottomless pit, one time and then another time, as long as he wants, he will go back to his old ways and threaten my privacy, if I don't go to bed with him , he is going to send it to my parents, colleagues and relatives, just like this, time and time again, at the beginning he just opened the house, and later he even asked me to pay for the house opening, and after the house was opened, he asked me to give him money to eat, drink and have fun , treating me like free sex and a cash machine."
"Because of this incident, I suffered from insomnia and trance every day, and suffered from severe depression. Telling Gu Yan was a coincidence. Apart from being harassed by my ex-boyfriend and asking for help in the owner group, Gu Yan happened to accompany me back on the way. On the roof of the community building, I had an impulse to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but was bumped into by Gu Yan who happened to be on the roof to relax, and was rescued, so I told him about it."
So that's why Lin Lin asked Gu Yan for help. But since Gu Yan is a boy after all, Lin Lin probably didn't have the nerve to tell Gu Yan the whole thing about Lin Lin taking private videos and large-scale photos for her ex-boyfriend. chat record.
Lin Lin wiped away her tears: "I also know rationally that I should call the police, but he is holding those things in his hands. I am afraid that if the fish dies and the net is broken, if he discloses all these things, I really don't want to live anymore."
If Qi Xi couldn't understand Lin Lin's behavior of not calling the police, she would understand everything after hearing this.
In this society, as a girl, she is often given stronger moral obligations and innocence obligations. In all pornographic incidents or derailment incidents, the male side is always easier to get out of the body than the female, and there are even some He will talk about the men in the incident in an envious tone, but what is left to the women is endless ridicule and insults that cannot be turned over.
Lin Lin's concerns are completely understandable to Qi Xi.
but…
"If you don't take the initiative, your ex-boyfriend will regard you as weak and deceitful. People's bad qualities have inertia. Now he may take it for granted that you meet all his requirements. Then you want to be treated like this all your life. Is the scum tied so that your hands are tied? Do you think that as long as you meet a good boy in the future, you will have to break up because of this horrible ex-boyfriend? Until your life is ruined?"
Qi Xi's tone was rare and serious: "And you have to believe in the current police's ability to handle cases. Your ex-boyfriend's behavior involved serious extortion, and using your privacy to threaten you to have sex is a crime of rape, which violates women's laws. Forced sex with subjective will, whether he is a stranger or your ex-boyfriend, this is called rape! Once you call the police, the police intervene after verification, it is a criminal offense, and you will be punished for multiple crimes. This is to be handed over to the procuratorate for public prosecution Yes, no matter how domineering he is in front of you, he will not be stronger than the public power of the state."
What Qi Xi said was heartfelt, and she analyzed the pros and cons of the matter to Lin Lin: "You may want to calm things down, but his appetite has been raised long ago, and there will never be a day when he will never be satisfied. Think about it yourself. Every time I ask you too much, I must promise that it will be the last time, but isn't there a next time after every time?"
These words probably touched Lin Lin's heart. She has experienced too many such next times, and finally thought that there was an outlet for her life, but when she reached the end, she found that the road was blocked, and those things that went against her wishes seemed endless. Endless, it was for this reason that she suffered from severe depression.
However, even though Lin Lin's decision is only a step away, she still has many concerns: "But once it rises to the criminal level, my family...and him...may all know about these things...I am very scared, I am afraid that things will end badly .”
Hearing this, Qi Xi also had some calculations in his heart.
Lin Lin actually wanted to call the police to make a decision with her ex-boyfriend, but what made her so hesitant was not that she dared to face her boyfriend directly, but that she didn't dare to face the mistakes she made due to negligence and naivety in the past.
"Instead of forever exposing your past to your ex-boyfriend, why don't you face this matter yourself. When you were young in the past, because you were ignorant and made mistakes, you took some private videos. If you are taken advantage of by the other party, instead of being threatened by the other party every time, it is better for you to call the police directly."
"Whatever you do, you have to bear the consequences." Qi Xi handed Lin Lin a tissue, "Lin Lin, it doesn't matter if you made a mistake in the past, but you can't let this mistake get bigger and bigger. In the past, in order to save and ex-boyfriend You made yourself humble because of your feelings, you who failed to love yourself well, did something stupid, and handed over those videos that could hurt you to the hands of scum, then we will correct it together now."
Qi Xi coaxed and said: "Even if you want to cover up these things and satisfy all your ex-boyfriend's demands, one day you will be unable to support it. Now he asks you for more than a hundred thousand. What about the future? In the future, it may be millions, With millions, or even tens of millions, there will always be a day when you can’t be satisfied. At that time, he will still choose to expose these pasts. It's overwhelming."
Lin Lin still hesitated: "But in case everyone finds out after entering the legal process..."
Qi Xi stared into Lin Lin's eyes: "I know what you're worried about, but your parents, even if they knew about these things, would only love you rather than blame you; and the boy you liked but was forced to break up with …”
Qi Xi called Gu Yan's name.
It didn't take long for Gu Yan to push open the door, and he came out with fruit, obviously waiting for Qi Xi's order outside the door for a long time.
Qi Xi glanced at Lin Lin, and then looked at Gu Yan: "Gu Yan, suppose, let me give an inappropriate example, suppose I did something bad before I met you, and you will choose to leave after you find out. Me? Will you blame me?"
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, apparently still a little out of step with Qi Xi's rhythm, he asked, "What did you do? Did it break the law?"
"No, it's just morally inappropriate, for example..." Qi Xi couldn't think of a suitable analogy for a while, "For example, suppose you acted as a third party without knowing it?"
Although it was just a hypothesis, Gu Yan's expression turned serious, which made Qi Xi feel a little uneasy.
"Qi Xi, I won't blame you." However, Gu Yan's gentle and calm voice quickly dispelled the uneasiness and tension in Qi Xi's heart, and he said in a deep voice, "I can only blame myself, because I didn't meet you enough Early, I blame myself for failing to protect you earlier, so that you suffered such a thing. This is not your fault at all. "
Although he didn't understand the meaning of Qi Xi's sudden arrival, when Lin Lin started to cry bitterly, Gu Yan finally came to his senses. He looked at Qi Xi, and Qi Xi nodded to him, although he didn't say anything. , but Qi Xi was sure that Gu Yan had already guessed from his eyes.
During Lin Lin's long cry, Qi Xi stayed with her and comforted her: "Look, Lin Lin, not all boys will think that some things are wrong with girls. You are so afraid that the boy you like will know, and even do it for you. Is it unfair to him to directly stop this relationship? Because you preset his reaction and thought he would discriminate and despise you for it. But in fact, his reaction may be the same as Gu Yan's, not only I don't think you are wrong, but I will love you, stand firmly by your side, and accompany you through the darkest road."
"If he is really as gentle and kind as you said, he will not blame you after learning about this. He will only think that he failed to protect you, and he will want to treat you better."
Qi Xi smiled gently: "If he stays away from you because he knows this, how can he spend a longer life with you in the future? A true lover can not only share joys and sorrows, life is never smooth .If he can’t accept it, you won’t regret your separation any more. It’s also an explanation to yourself and to this relationship. So you do what you should do, go to the police, and the rest Give it to time, and time will have the answer.”
When Qi Xi talked about this, he winked at Lin Lin: "What's more, the quality of the public security staff is very high now, and they are also very caring when handling a case like yours. After entering the legal process, this may not happen. As a consequence of the expansion of influence, there are now a large number of excellent female staff in the public security, procuratorate and law teams, and those like you who involve women’s privacy can completely request to be connected with female staff who are more likely to empathize with you.”
What was said above is indeed true, but Qi Xi didn't want to lie to Lin Lin either. After talking about the good things, she hoped that Lin Lin would also be prepared for the bad things.
Therefore, Qi Xi said frankly: "Just entering the legal process, especially entering the public prosecution, will indeed face the possibility that your close relatives will find out about it later. I hope you can still prepare for this before calling the police. But I want to tell you What's more, your loved ones will never stand in the position of the perpetrator, but will only stand firmly behind you."
Under Qi Xi and Gu Yan's inclusive and gentle persuasion, Lin Lin finally stopped crying.
After changing the previous hesitation and entanglement, at this moment, her face finally showed determination, and she looked at Qi Xi: "Thank you."
"I'm going to call the police."
