Lu Youye had long wanted to throw this punch, considering it to be retribution for Jiang Yusheng’s previous verbal insults towards Lu Sheng.
However, his action was so sudden and unexpected that even the two police officers standing beside him didn’t have time to react, let alone everyone else.
Once everyone had reacted, all they could see was Jiang Yusheng’s left cheek swelling up instantaneously.
"Ahhhh!!!" Accompanied by a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig, a torrent of nosebleed flowed out through the gaps between Jiang Yusheng’s fingers covering his nose, dripping sporadically onto the ground.
Looking at the scene, it was indeed quite pitiable.
But everyone couldn’t help wanting to applaud and praise the punch for being well delivered.
Those two police officers had never seen such a scene before — that is to say, usually, those who beat others would behave themselves in front of them, nobody would deliberately attack someone else in their presence.
Jiang Yusheng was screaming as if he was about to die, but Lu Youye didn’t even glance at him, his eyes shining as he looked toward the police officers.
"Uncle police, can you take me away now?"
His expression was one of anticipation.
"..."
Lu Youye indeed hadn’t broken the law before, but now he truly had, and the police officer only felt a headache and had no choice but to wave his hand, "Alright, take him away."
Just as they were about to move, the police officer saw the other two people standing beside him seemingly wanting to speak up and immediately became alert, "You two better behave, don’t start any trouble. We’re heading to the police station, this is not a joke."
Hearing this, Lan Yu and Huo Yu exchanged a glance and could only hold back their words, saying nothing.
At this time, the police weren’t concerned about the millions of viewers in the live streaming room trying to stop them, promptly shutting down the stream, and in the end, Lan Yu and Huo Yu could only watch helplessly as Lu Sheng and the others were taken away.
However, although the live stream was forcibly closed, the incident tonight sparked a huge uproar on Weibo.
#LuShengLiveStream, #JiangMengmengWasRapedByJiangYusheng, #JiangYushengAdmitsRapeAndSlander three hashtags exploded in popularity, a phenomenon rarely seen apart from top-tier celebrities’ scandals with childbirth.
If you now open the trending search list, almost half of the hot topics are related to Lu Sheng.
The popularity from this afternoon, when Lan Xing, Chen Li, Ji Weiyuan, Wu Anmin, and the official FSI voices spoke out for her hadn’t yet subsided, while the event tonight where Lu Sheng revealed evidence of Jiang Yusheng’s smear campaign against Peng Hongyuan, and the live stream where he was tied up, reached an unprecedented level of attention.
The name Jiang Mengmeng also entered the public eye once more after three years, topping the trending search list.
Those who were late to the live stream caught up through recorded screens, learning the full story and uncovering the truth about Jiang Mengmeng’s pregnancy and her dropping out of school.
Some say, those who took part in the internet bullying owe Jiang Mengmeng an apology.
Can we solely blame Jiang Yusheng for pretending to be so righteous in front of the public? No, that’s not the case.
In the internet age, everyone’s keyboard is like an invisible knife. It was everyone back then who lacked the dedication and patience to seek the truth, who fell into a frenzy of collective moral high ground criticism, stabbing an 18-year-old girl with their knives without any hesitation.
The police officer replied, "The girl needs to undergo a criminal investigation. Your actions are not yet considered a crime. Someone will come soon to question you."
Lu Sheng looked at her two brothers: "Don’t worry, brothers, I will be fine, you two take care."
To tell the truth, Lu Sheng decided to make such a big move tonight because she had calculated the risks.
Stunning Jiang Yusheng with a stun gun didn’t result in serious injury, and wouldn’t constitute intentional harm. Without the purpose of illegal possession, it wouldn’t constitute extortion.
As for unlawful detention, she indeed carried out the act of binding and restricted Jiang Yusheng’s personal freedom.
But her subjective intention was not to deprive him of his freedom or to injure him, but to seek justice. Also, the duration of the binding was less than twenty minutes, which can be considered as a minor case. Plus, as a minor who is a high school senior, she would likely be given leniency.
Moreover, there is a very important aspect to this incident: Lu Sheng knew very well that public opinion would definitely favor her after this event. Besides the law, the police would also have to consider the influence of reasoning and public opinion.
With so many factors at play, Lu Sheng felt she wouldn’t face any issues.
Soon, the young police officer with a buzz cut led Lu Sheng into a room.
The room was small, with a table and a chair inside, and beside the table across from her stood a black camera.
The whole room was somewhat dim and cramped, with no sunlight, giving it an oppressive feel, especially with the camera pointed directly at her.
Lu Sheng sat down on the chair, and the buzz-cut officer left first, saying someone else would come to question her.
However, when Lu Sheng heard the door noise and looked up, she saw a face that could be considered familiar.
