Chapter 21: Zhao Xiūwén's Downfall

  Chapter 1: As dusk falls, the ancient city becomes even more prosperous. Unlike metropolises like Beijing or Shanghai, this second-tier city has a relatively low per capita income and correspondingly lower consumption levels. Simply put, it's a city with a relaxed pace of life that's very suitable for living!

  In the late afternoon, the old city residents of all ages usually go out to stroll around, taste snacks, and some who are slightly richer even go to watch a movie! After a day's hard work, people fully enjoy this rare leisure time.

  "Ah! What do you want to do? Don't come over! If you come any closer, I'll call the police!" Even in a beautiful place, there are always some dark sides. Just when all the citizens were enjoying a peaceful and harmonious night life, a terrified scream suddenly came from a small alley that no one paid attention to.

  "Haha! Beauty, this place is deserted, you can shout as loud as you want, even if your throat bursts, no one will come to save you!" A gloating voice sneered with a lewd laugh.

  "Ah, ah, beautiful woman, why so frightened? A good night's scenery is worth a thousand gold, let us brothers give you a taste of women's pleasure tonight. Once you've tasted it, I guarantee you'll be hooked and won't want to stop. By then, you'll be the one clinging to us every day!" A lewd voice chimed in, with an impatient tone!

  "You, you can't do this, it's against the law! I'll give you money! Please spare me, please!" The girl's face, as delicate as a flower, was filled with terror, and she begged repeatedly.

  "Hmph, you little rascal, don't toast without drinking or you'll be punished with a penalty drink! Today, serve Master well and enjoy your freedom, otherwise... Hmph!" Seeing that the thug had lost his patience and was about to use force.

  The girl curled up into a ball, her eyes full of despair!

  At this moment, several people walked into the alley. They had obviously heard their previous conversation, but unfortunately, they just glanced over and didn't bother to intervene, apparently not wanting to get involved in other people's business!

  Originally, a girl with a hopeful face saw several people come in, but when she saw their attitude, she suddenly became desperate again. The two thugs saw the attitude of several people and immediately became more arrogant! They even loudly greeted them and asked if they wanted to join in on the fun!

  Suddenly, one of the men in charge caught sight of the girl's face and his eyes widened. What a beautiful face she had, especially with that pleading expression tinged with despair, which added to her pitiful aura and made people want to take her into their arms and cherish her!

  The most important thing is that this girl has a clear and seductive charm, with a hint of femininity and a touch of sensuality, which is even more fatally tempting for a man who is used to playing with schoolgirls.

  "Stop! Let her go!" The man shouted, then walked forward and pointed at the two thugs, shouting: "In broad daylight, you dare to attempt to rape a young girl! Do you think this world has no law? I've already called the police just now, they'll be here soon! Are you looking forward to spending a few years in jail?"

  With a few words of righteous indignation, the man's image suddenly became more majestic. In the dark night sky, it seemed to radiate endless light, like a brilliant sun bringing boundless light and warmth to the world, making the girl's icy heart beat again. The girl's eyes, filled with endless admiration and gratitude, gazed intently at the man!

  The man felt that the girl's gaze made him feel as if he was the embodiment of justice and truth, a messenger sent by heaven to save humanity, his expression became even more sacred, his tone even more severe!

  "Get out of here quickly, or I'll really take you to the police station for a cup of tea!" The man continued to scold the two thugs.

  "Haha! I usually play the villain, but today I'm playing a good guy for a change and it feels pretty great!" The man cursed at the thugs with his mouth, but in his heart he couldn't help but feel pleased.

  Two thugs exchanged a glance, and at the same time, a look of unwillingness flashed in their eyes. One man stepped forward, took two steps, and shouted to the man in a low voice: "You little rascal, this time you're lucky, I don't know which gang you belong to, leave your name, next time we brothers will go 'visit'!"

  "Get out! What are you? You think you can know our boss's name?" This time, before the man could even open his mouth, one of the younger brothers had already cursed him directly.

  The two rascals exchanged a glance, stopped talking, and turned around to walk into the pitch-black night.

  "Haha, Wen Shao, I didn't expect you to have such a majestic and awe-inspiring moment! You scared us half to death just now, we almost didn't recognize you! Look at those two thugs earlier, they were so scared that their pants were wet!" A younger brother couldn't help but smile at the man.

  It turned out that this man was Zhao Xiwen! Coincidentally, yesterday at the writing club, Zhao Xiwen had a big blowout and vented his anger, feeling extremely refreshed and excited. So today, he was in high spirits and even brought a younger brother to go shopping!

  They had already heard the conversation inside when they reached the entrance of the alley, so under the strong urge of curiosity, Zhao Xiūwén led his few younger brothers to come in. Of course, he absolutely wasn't there to rescue the girl who was about to fall into the tiger's mouth; on the contrary, he had an attitude of observing and learning as he came to observe the specific process of rape.

  Although he had numerous female students in school, most of them were consensual, and at most some were seduced. As for rape, he didn't have the guts to do it yet. You see, people's courage grows gradually, and Zhao Xi Wen is still at the level of a campus thug. He doesn't dare to commit rape... yet. Of course, if no one intervenes now, his past experiences have proven that he will eventually go on to commit such crimes!

  Although he came with an attitude of observation, when he saw the girl at that moment, his observational thoughts were instantly thrown away. The girl's attraction to him was too great, and he had never seen such a charming woman among the female students he had always played with. He felt that his heart was captured in an instant!

  "Hum! What nonsense are you talking about? Am I not always like this? Such a rascal should be punished by everyone!" Zhao Xiuren scolded his younger brother with righteous words and a stern expression, but his eyes involuntarily darted towards the girl.

  The younger brother saw Zhao Xiūwén's expression and suddenly realized, secretly scolding himself for being a fool. The older brother was obviously trying to be a hero saving the beauty, having taken a liking to this girl, and he had carelessly interrupted, ruining the older brother's image - it would have been strange if he hadn't gotten scolded! However, this girl is quite alluring, no wonder the older brother has fallen for her!

  The little brother who had just opened his eyes quickly made amends: "That's right, the big boss has always been a heroic and chivalrous young man, and he has always beaten up this kind of scum whenever he sees them!"

  "Ah, yes! The boss has always had a strong sense of justice!"

  "The big brother is indeed such a kind person who hates evil as much as he hates his personal enemies!"

  ……

  As soon as this little brother spoke up, other little brothers also echoed him, and suddenly there was a surge of flattery, a chorus of praise.

  With the flattering voices of his younger brother, Zhao Xiūwén walked proudly in front of the girl and said with a concerned face: "Little sister, are you okay? Those two bastards didn't hurt you, did they?"

  The girl looked at Zhao Xi Wen with a grateful face and said: "Thank you big brother, they didn't hurt me just now."

  "It's so late, you should hurry back home, it's too unsafe at night!" Zhao Xiuren said with a concerned face.

  The girl hesitated for a moment before saying: "I have no home to return to!"

  "What's wrong?" Zhao Xiawen asked with a surprised face.

  "I had a fight with my parents today and ran out of the house. Now I can't go back!" As she spoke, the girl left behind two lines of clear tears.

  "Is that so! Don't worry, little sister, let's go to big brother's place for the night first, and we'll think of a way tomorrow!" Zhao Xiuren's face showed concern, but in his heart he was shouting "Heaven helps me too!"

  Afterwards, things went smoothly, making Zhao Xi Wen almost unable to believe it. The girl obediently followed Zhao Xi Wen to the hotel, and Zhao Xi Wen comforted her until late at night. Then, the two of them naturally rolled up the bed sheets together. The girl, using fear as an excuse, still very obediently drank ***, a spring breeze for one night, making Zhao Xi Wen extremely comfortable. It wasn't until the next day when the sun was high in the sky that they woke up. After getting out of bed, the girl said goodbye to Zhao Xi Wen and told him she wanted to go home and make amends with her parents. She also left behind a way for them to communicate, and only then did the two part ways.

  With a satisfied smile, Zhao Xiuwen left the hotel and headed to school, but at this moment he had no idea that he had completely fallen into someone else's plan, and soon he would face an extremely tragic ending!

  What happened next was not only unexpected by Zhao Xi Wen, but also by all the students, teachers and school leaders of Shang Ke School. To them, what happened next was like a play! Because such things usually only happen in movies or TV dramas, it's really too challenging for their nerves to happen in reality!

  That afternoon, while Zhao Xiawen was still indulging in the girl's beautiful body and fantasizing about when he would invite his sister out for a spring outing, he suddenly received a summons from the Gucheng People's Court, saying that someone had sued him over the girl!

  Zhao Xiawen was stunned and disoriented, only to realize that the person accusing him was the girl he had spent the previous night with! The girl produced a video of them together, in which she could be clearly seen with glassy eyes, having fallen into a trance-like state, a clear indication of being drugged. Combined with Zhao Xiawen's actions, it presented to the world a clear case of a scoundrel taking advantage of a girl on the scene, with ironclad evidence!

  The girl not only sued Zhao Xiwen in court, but also came to the school to make a big scene, directly pointing at Zhao Dongfeng's nose and scolding him loudly! According to the students who witnessed the scene, Zhao Dongfeng's face turned pale, his soul was gone, although he was being scolded with fingers pointed at his nose, he couldn't say a word!

  Up to this point, the outcome of the matter was no longer suspenseful. The court took a swift and decisive attitude towards this extremely heinous case, and in just three days, Zhao Xiuwen was sentenced to first instance for intentional rape and **underage girl crime! He was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment! At this time, although Zhao Xiuwen knew that he had been framed, the evidence was conclusive and could not be denied. Knowing that he had been set up this time, he did not make a last-ditch struggle, but rather calmly admitted his guilt. However, he really couldn't understand who would frame him with such careful planning, as he was just a student, and who would have such a deep grudge against him?

  As Zhao Dongfeng was the father of Zhao Xiawen, although he had nothing to do with this matter, Zhao Xiawen's influence at Shang Xue was really too bad. Even a school like Shang Xue that never paid attention to influences couldn't tolerate it. In the end, after discussion by the school leaders, they decided to let him retire directly due to health reasons.

  Just as the leaders of Shang Xue were discussing how to deal with Zhao Dongfeng, the tearful girl who had been deceived by Zhao Xiawen stood respectfully in front of a young man and said, "Cloud Ge, is there anything else you want me to do?"

  The young man glanced at the girl lightly and said, "You've done a good job. I'll tell Fei Gou to waive your brother's debt from gambling. I don't want anyone else to know about this matter, do you understand?"

  "Yes, thank you Cloud Uncle, I understand. No matter who asks me, I'll say it was Zhao Xiuren who was the strongest!" The grateful-looking girl hastily said.

  "Alright, go!" The young man waved his hand, signaling the girl to withdraw.

  After the girl left, the bedroom door opened and a boy walked out. A ray of sunlight shone on the boy's face, and it was Su! Yes, it was Su!

  Su Jin walked over, smiling at the young man and said: "Thanks to Big Brother this time, otherwise I really didn't have a good way to deal with Zhao Xiuren!"

  "Hum! What deep grudge do you have against Zhao Xiūwén that you want to deal with him like this?" Su Yún asked calmly.

  "There is indeed a deep-seated grudge, and this insult cannot be ignored! However, if it's just about humiliating him with knowledge, I wouldn't necessarily want to take it this far. But as it happens, I need someone to intimidate right now, and he happened to run into my hands at the perfect time - that's why I must take drastic measures!" Su Jin said calmly.

  Indeed, all of this was orchestrated by Su Zhan and executed by his connections. Although Su Yun had retired from the underworld, he still had some face to spare, so it wasn't difficult for him to get in touch with a few hoodlums and have them take care of a young girl selling meat.

  Su Yun's eyebrows furrowed, saying: "I don't care what the reason is, Xiao Jin, you're a public figure. Even if you've transferred from No. 1 Middle School to a vocational school, whether you write books or open an internet cafe, you're still on the right path! This is the first and last time I'm helping you, so don't get involved in this kind of thing again! You should know that 'those who often walk by the river will eventually get their shoes wet!' This trick is too despicable, and using it will only lead to retribution. This time is the end of it, remember, everything was my plan. If anyone investigates, it will all fall on me! Keep this in your belly, don't let anyone know, not even Third Uncle or Third Aunt!"

  Su Jin looked at Su Yun with gratitude, this was his own brother after all. No matter when he regretted it, he would always protect himself under his wings! After a while, he said sincerely: "Don't worry, big brother, this is the last time I use this method. I know that every circle has its own rules of the game, and those who break the rules will provoke public anger! I won't use this method again in the future!"

  Su Yun listened to Su Jian's words, indeed sincere, her face slightly softened, and said faintly: "You just need to pay attention, sometimes don't be too rigid, methods should be flexible, methods are just tools, what's important is where they're used! Alright, go back!"
