Chapter 141: Understanding

Officer Liu took out another testimonial that the taxi driver had fingerprinted, proving that the person before and after getting into the car was indeed Huang Yue.

With the presence of undeniable evidence and a thorough chain of evidence, it became apparent that Huang Yue’s involvement was indisputable. If she persisted in denying her wrongdoing, it would only display her lack of remorse. Understanding the potential consequences, she chose to obediently confess her role in the plot to defame Wen Nian.

Huang Yue entertained the idea of exposing Pan Jia’s involvement, but as she recalled their previous conversation, she ultimately decided to keep her silence.

Officer Liu asked Huang Yue to sign and fingerprint the testimony before calling Wen Nian into the interrogation room.

Officer Liu said to Huang Yue, “Next, you have to try your best to obtain the victim’s forgiveness. This will be beneficial to your sentence!”

When Huang Yue heard this, she was stunned on the chair. She glanced at Wen Nian, who was smiling at her.

At the thought that she had to lower herself to Wen Nian now, Huang Yue was furious. She didn’t get any benefits this time and had to apologize to her?!

Huang Yue responded with unwavering determination, “I won’t apologize. Let them impose whatever fines they want on me!”

Officer Liu couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration upon hearing Huang Yue’s defiant response. He found himself torn between thinking whether Huang Yue’s fearlessness stemmed from her ignorance of the truth or her lack of understanding of the law. “Huang Yue, your actions have caused significant harm to Wen Nian’s reputation. The local website in Hai City is inundated with the false rumors you disseminated. You have already violated the law, and the consequences go beyond mere compensation. You may face legal sentencing.”

Huang Yue was completely dumbfounded when she heard the word sentence. She suddenly thought of something and stood up excitedly. “I’m still underage! The country has juvenile protection laws. Why would I be sentenced?”

When Wen Nian heard this, she interrupted calmly, “I’m also underage. The protection law should still protect me, the victim.”

Despite Huang Yue’s limited legal awareness, she was aware of the existence of the juvenile protection law. Officer Liu glanced at her stubborn expression and sighed, feeling helpless. “Remember, the juvenile protection law is not a free pass to escape all consequences.”

Huang Yue was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, she stood up reluctantly. “Wen Nian, I’m sorry.”

Wen Nian remained silent and instead turned to the police officer standing beside her, seeking clarification on questions related to the potential sentencing.

Huang Yue frowned. “Wen Nian, what do you mean? I’m apologizing to you sincerely. Is this your attitude?”

Wen Nian turned her gaze towards Huang Yue, her voice tinged with anger. “Huang Yue, the internet is still flooded with rumors about me being a social climber and tarnishing my reputation. Do you think your indifferent apology can restore my reputation?”

“Why should I forgive you the moment you apologize?” Wen Nian retorted sharply. “I have called several reporters to gather outside. If you truly mean your apology, then apologize to me in front of the media!”

Huang Yue naturally refused to comply with Wen Nian’s demand. In response, Wen Nian sneered and said, “I consulted with the police earlier. Given your circumstances, it wouldn’t be a problem for you to spend a few years in jail. Whether you confess or not is irrelevant to me. The police station has official findings, and I have evidence to prove that all the online rumors are false.”

Huang Yue refused not only because of her pride, but also because of her father.

Huang Yue hesitated as she contemplated the potential consequences. Being an illegitimate daughter, she had made occasional public appearances, and many people were aware of her connection to Huang Jian. If she were to confess in front of the media, it could lead to severe repercussions. Her father might disown her, and her confession could implicate her mother and brother as well.

Huang Yue realized that if she dared to publicly shame her father to such an extent, she would be left with no way out. However, she reasoned that as long as she avoided showing her face, even if the newspapers obtained her photos, they would likely pixelate them. Furthermore, there were many individuals named Huang Yue, so she wouldn’t immediately become an abandoned child or face immediate repercussions.

Huang Yue, despite her previous behavior, was not completely ignorant of the law. She understood that criminal charges could still proceed even if the victim did not pursue the matter. After making up her mind, Huang Yue took a deep breath, composed herself, and sat back down on the stool.

Observing Huang Yue’s reaction, Wen Nian remained unfazed. Whether or not Huang Yue chose to refute the rumors was inconsequential to her. She knew that the evidence she possessed was sufficient to debunk the false allegations.

The verdict would be tomorrow at the earliest, but Wen Nian had to respond to the report first.

Wen Nian had already contacted a few official newspapers in Hai City. Those reporters had been waiting at the door for the latest results.

Wen Nian was determined to shield her family from the spotlight. She understood that a life in the public eye would compromise their privacy and potentially expose them to unwanted attention. It took considerable effort to convince her family to remain at the police station and entrust her with handling the situation alone.

Although Wen Nian wouldn’t be facing those inferior media outlets, Shen Jun was still worried. He watched as Wen Nian walked forward and followed closely behind. He whispered to her, “If you don’t let me go with you, I won’t let you go
