Su Bei looked at them, her emotions surging. However, she thought of Lu Hetings calm and determined face. Although these women were stepping out right now because of her hard work, they must also have received Lu Hetings help.
At the very least, he must have arranged for people to protect them and give them the strongest guarantee that they could stand up for themselves.
She looked through the crowd toward the familiar car at the gate of the courthouse.
Lu Heting sat in the car while Lu Hang reported, Young Madam had already told them everything she needed to say. I followed your instructions and promised to protect them and their families. Thats why they finally had the courage to step forward again.
Lu Heting listened casually and felt Su Beis gaze in the crowd. He looked in that direction.
There were too many people, so it was not easy to see each other. However, she knew that he was looking back at her.
Lu Hetings lips curved into a smile.
The corners of Su Beis lips curled up slightly. She quickly looked away because she still had a very important thing to do.
The reporters were stunned by the scene in front of them. There were at least 40 to 50 women standing in front of them. Each of them had a determined and unafraid expression on their faces, making it impossible to question the authenticity of what they had once endured.
How many evil deeds had Xiao Ming done?
Excuse me, are you willing to be interviewed?
Are you all related to Xiao Ming?
One of the women stood up and said firmly, Were willing to be interviewed. Actually, we should have stood up long ago. When Xiao Xi was attacked last time and President Su and Lawyer Hua helped us, we should have stood up for ourselves. But at that time, we retreated. We were afraid of retaliation and were also worried that our families would be affected.
At that time, we let down President Su and Lawyer Hua. We didnt have the courage to speak up, which led to the withdrawal of the lawsuit against Xiao Ming.
This time, the reason why Xiao Xi went to look for Xiao Ming was that we retreated, which allowed Xiao Ming to get away with his crimes. This time, we cant let President Su, Lawyer Hua, and Xiao Xi bear all this by themselves.
Thats why weve decided to stand up for ourselves and everyone who was harmed by Xiao Ming!
The reporters did not expect this to happen. There had been such rumors before, but no one believed them.
No one believed that a director who had filmed multiple famous works and had a large number of fans would be such a bad person.
The news quickly spread to the public.
Everyone was in an uproar.
No one expected this at all. They began to pay attention to the outcome of the trial.
The reporters watched helplessly as Su Bei and the others went in. They could only wait outside.
This time, even if the Xiao family wanted to control public opinion, it was useless.
The trial lasted for an entire day before it really ended in the afternoon.
The court declared that Xiao Xi had acted in self-defense and did not need to bear legal responsibility.
Xiao Ming, on the other hand, was accused of s.e.xual a.s.sault. Next, he had to stand trial.
That day, Xiao Ming was taken into custody.
From the hospital to the police station, Xiao Ming did not expect things to turn out like this.
Tears streamed down Xiao Xis face as she was welcomed by Su Bei and Hua Cuo.
President Su, Lawyer Hua, thank you. Xi Xi was agitated.
Its okay. Go back and have a good rest, Su Bei said.
Yes. Xiao Xi nodded.
Xiao Ling was also here. She was waiting for her sister outside. When the two sisters met, they hugged each other and cried.
This scene was recorded by the reporters.
The victims bravely accepted interviews from the media and told them everything that had happened.
The reporters organized it into a collection so that everyone could finally see Xiao Mings true colors.
Some of the victims from earlier years did not know that Su Bei and Hua Cuo had been working hard to seek justice for them. When they became aware of what was happening, they stepped forward and recounted their experiences back then.
After being violated by Xiao Ming, many people didnt dare to blame him back then. As he was wors.h.i.+pped as a G.o.d, everyone thought that it was those women who had done something wrong.
With these thoughts in their minds, the victims moods became terrible. They felt sorry for themselves and doubted themselves. They also went through an unbearable dark period.
It was only now that they could stand up and denounce Xiao Ming together.
Faced with more and more voices and the courts final verdict, it was self-evident who was right and who was wrong.
This time, Xiao Mings loyal fans finally came to their senses.
While everyone felt regretful, they also felt sorry for these women.
[Ive really slapped myself in the face. I didnt expect Xiao Ming to be such a person!]
[Actually, there were rumors before. It was just that everyone thought that someone of his status wouldnt rely on such a method to get women. It seems that Su Bei and Xu Zhiqin did the right thing last time.]
[Xiao Mings family is rich and powerful. The people around him would definitely be willing to cover for him. These girls are really pitiful!]
[Its just a pity that hes a talented director.]
[No matter how talented he is, its not a reason for him to hurt others! Now, I think Su Bei was right. What right does a rapist have to take the exam? What right does a rapist have to partic.i.p.ate in the film awards?]
[I definitely wont watch Xiao Mings movies in the future! Lets boycott him!]
[He deserves to be physically castrated. Xiao Xi did a good job!]
[Its all thanks to Xiao Xis courage. Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have been harmed by him?]
[Thank you for your efforts, President Su!]
[Thank you, Lawyer Hua.]
[Thank you, so many people, for silently seeking justice for these victims!]
Su Bei and Hua Cuo accompanied Xiao Ling and Xiao Xi home.
They currently stayed in the apartment that was arranged for them by Nirvana Entertainment. The security here was good, and it could effectively resist the overzealous cameras of the reporters and paparazzi as well as the hara.s.sment from the Xiao family.
However, as soon as they arrived at the building, a group of men in black rushed over aggressively. They did not come with good intentions.
Xiao Xi and Xiao Ling were so frightened that they hugged each other and trembled.
Su Bei and Hua Cuo stepped forward and said, Are you people from the Xiao family?
You dont have to know. Hand over Xiao Xi and Ill let you go! the other party shouted.
Su Bei sneered. How is that possible?
Then dont blame us for being rude! That person waved his hand, and the people behind him pounced on Su Bei and Hua Cuo.
