However, she never expected Huo Jingrui to be unfazed. He turned to Secretary Xiaoliu who was passing by and said, "Please get someone from the security team over here, and also help me call the police."
Secretary Xiaoliu was one of Qiao Shaoguo’s people and had dealt with Huo Jingrui often. "Alright, I’ll go right away."
The onlookers, having heard Huo Jingrui’s words, began to murmur quietly among themselves, "What’s going on here? Is there any truth to what this rural youth is saying?"
"I think it must be false. Otherwise, why isn’t Doctor Chu’s fiancé worried at all, and why would he call the police?"
"But why would this female rural youth risk her reputation? What’s her motive?"
"Motive? She obviously wants to take Doctor Chu’s position, reach for the stars, and become someone of importance."
The security team arrived quickly, with Deputy Chief Geng leading two team members as they squeezed through the crowd. "What’s going on?"
He had already heard about the situation from Secretary Xiaoliu, but he still asked. After speaking, he pointed at Zhang Wenjuan, who stood at the forefront, and said, "You, explain."
Zhang Wenjuan stuck to her story, but just then, someone who had come down the mountain with Huo Jingrui stepped out and mocked, "If you’re going to make something up, at least make it believable. Comrade Huo was chopping wood on the mountain with us, and we came down together.
How could he possibly have gone to the mountain you mentioned to harass you? Did he fly or walk on walls?
You must be out of your mind. At such a young age, you’re already up to no good. It’s clear there’s something wrong with your thinking. You should be sent to reform through labor, so you don’t tarnish the reputation of our Agricultural Reclamation Group."
After she spoke, she pointed to her companions not far away who had gone up the mountain with her. "When we went up the mountain, he was at the ridge chopping wood with us. Why are you helping him?"
Realizing something, she suddenly wore an expression of sudden enlightenment. "He must have preemptively bribed you all to keep the matter from being exposed. You really have no conscience, accepting any benefits offered to you?"
The others who had come down the mountain with Huo Jingrui couldn’t stand it anymore and angrily retorted, "How can you speak like this, girl? There were so many people on the ridge; everyone saw it. Could it be that Comrade Huo bribed everyone? This is preposterous!"
"A girl like you, shamelessly trying to frame others without regard for your reputation—I’ve truly seen it all. How were you raised by your family?"
Ye Wenhui, who had just arrived, looked very upset upon hearing these words. Although Zhang Wenjuan wasn’t part of the Ye Family anymore, she did grow up in the Ye Family. Those words just now were clearly questioning the Ye Family’s upbringing.
