Chapter 529: Betrayal
The nose of the Hong Kong paparazzi was much more sensitive than Gu Chen and Zhou Huimin imagined, and the next day, there was such a headline on the front page of "Sing Tao Daily" that could shock anyone's eyes: Gu Yinxi, the eldest lady of the Gu family, was almost raped by a male classmate.
Whether you're sitting in your office, or on the bus, or walking to a newsstand to buy a newspaper, you're immediately caught up in the headline, which tells you in detail about the whole story.
From celebrating classmates' birthdays to singing in karaoke halls; to Gu Yinxi, under the repeated persuasion of his classmates, he had no choice but to drink for the first time; to Gu Yinxi, who was too drunk to run to the bathroom and vomited; to the male classmate Li Junpeng entered the bathroom in the name of caring for the visit, and secretly closed the door of the bathroom; and then several gangsters entered the box with bad intentions, and Gu Yinxi's bodyguards, who were secretly guarding outside the box, hurriedly came to subdue all the gangsters; In the end, the bodyguards rescued Gu Yinxi, who was almost raped by Li Junpeng, from the bathroom.
As if he had seen it with his own eyes, needless to say, it must have been leaked to the "Sing Tao Daily" by some of those students last night, otherwise the "Sing Tao Daily" would not have been able to be so meticulous even if it knew some of the circumstances, and even the details of Li Junpeng's beating were described in detail.
A thought flashed in the minds of many people who read the newspaper: This person named Li Junpeng is really cowardly, and he actually wants to rape his sister who is less than rape, and he is still in the bathroom of the karaoke hall, and he still doesn't know how to write the word dead. There are also many people who feel lucky for Gu Yinxi, if it weren't for the fact that a few thugs just happened to break into the box. It is impossible for the bodyguard guarding outside the box to enter the box, let alone save Gu Yinxi so coincidentally. Some people also imagined in their hearts that if Gu Yinxi was really raped. What are the consequences? Of course, there will never be ifs and assumptions in reality, otherwise people who would have such thoughts would not have the leisure time to think about this kind of gossip, but should be like Gu Chen, like Li Jiacheng, sitting in a spacious office and looking at Victoria Harbor.
There is no doubt that this seemingly ordinary case of attempted rape has attracted great public attention, and some mainstream newspapers in Europe and the United States have also reported on it. Even some of Gu Chen's friends who have a good relationship overseas made a special call to greet him, which shows how sensational the incident has been.
Outside the police station, at the University of Hong Kong, a large number of reporters squatted every day. However, a person in charge of the police only accepted a brief interview with reporters on the first day of the incident, saying that the case had been formally filed, and the police would investigate and collect evidence in accordance with the law, and it was inconvenient to disclose other things. Besides. The police did not release any further information. And the top leaders of the University of Hong Kong have disappeared from the face of the earth seemingly overnight. Many reporters waited in the school for two days, and the only highest-ranking person they met was the deputy director of the teaching department.
In this way, the deputy director of the teaching department is still tight-lipped, and no matter how the reporter asks, it is the words 'no comment'. When asked where the principal and other leaders had gone, the deputy director of the teaching department still had nothing to say, as if he only had these four words.
However, despite this, more and more news was gradually exposed by the media as time went on. For example, "Cheng Pao" reported that Li Junpeng began to pursue Gu Yinxi as early as Gu Yinxi's enrollment, but he never confessed. And Gu Yinxi also has a good impression of Li Junpeng, maybe because of this, Li Junpeng has the courage to try to rape Gu Yinxi, thinking that as long as he succeeds, Gu Yinxi will accept the reality and obediently follow him, and then he will be able to get both people and money. It's a pity that his idea is too naΓ―ve and too simple.
According to the police investigation, among the 14 students who sang in the karaoke hall that night, in addition to the victim Gu Yinxi and the suspect Li Junpeng, two other people were also involved in the case, they were Zhao Xiaoli and her boyfriend Li Yingxing, it is reported that Li Junpeng had discussed with Li Yingxing to let Gu Yinxi drink more wine to increase his chances of getting close to Gu Yinxi, so after the singing began, Li Yingxing and Zhao Xiaoli frequently persuaded to drink, even if Gu Yinxi said that he had never drunk alcohol, he would not give up, and finally led Gu Yinxi to be too drunk and ran to the bathroom to vomit, and then Li Junpeng entered the bathroom under the pretext of taking care of Gu Yinxi, and closed the bathroom door while others in the box were not paying attention, trying to rape Gu Yinxi, and according to Zhao Xiaoli and Li Yingxing, they saw Li Junpeng close the bathroom door, but they neither went over to check, nor told others, and pretended not to see it.
In that case, Li Junpeng made such a move, it was impossible for Zhao Xiaoli and Li Yingxing not to know what Li Junpeng wanted to do, that is to say, the two of them knew that Li Junpeng intended to rape Gu Yinxi, but they chose to be indifferent and watch. It is worth mentioning that Zhao Xiaoli is one of Gu Yinxi's few friends in school, when Gu Fu held a first birthday banquet before, Zhao Xiaoli received an invitation, and Li Yingxing was also invited because of his girlfriend. Now the police are conducting an in-depth investigation to determine whether the two of them are accomplices of Li Junpeng.
The revelations of "Oriental Daily" are obviously more gossipy, the previous case was that Gu Yinxi was almost raped by a male classmate, and now there is one more - Gu Yinxi was betrayed by a good sister, and the media immediately grasped this topic, even Xiaoli's parents and relatives were harassed by many reporters, Xiaoli, a female student who was unknown before, was also completely famous, but this name is not a good name.
On the fifth day of the incident, Wu Zhengxi, the president of the University of Hong Kong, who had disappeared for several days, finally appeared, and a press conference was held, when Wu Zhengxi walked into the venue at three o'clock in the afternoon, the original noisy sound in the venue immediately quieted down, and the rapid change from extreme movement to extreme silence made Wu Zhengxi's footsteps involuntarily pause, and he has been the president of the University of Hong Kong for so many years, and he has attended various press conferences many times, but it is the first time to enjoy this kind of high-profile treatment.
It seems that he wants to show his sincerity when he leaves the school and himself, unlike the usual press conferences held by the school, today's press conference has no host, and there is no opening remarks to waste saliva, Wu Zhengxi sat down on the rostrum and said: "The main purpose of holding this press conference today is to solemnly apologize to Gu Yinxi and the public, I am deeply shocked and angry at what Li Junpeng, a student of this school, has done, and this kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable." Li Junpeng is 21 years old this year, and he is legally and mentally responsible for his actions, and he should be responsible for what he has done, and I also hope that the police can uphold the principle of fairness and justice to investigate and deal with this matter, so that not only an innocent person is wronged, but also the victim is given justice. β
"The University of Hong Kong has always focused on academic education and research, but now it seems that this is inevitably biased, and in the future, the university will strengthen ideological and moral education, and strive to cultivate useful people with rich knowledge and good moral cultivation for the society."
After Wu Zhengxi finished speaking, a reporter couldn't wait to ask: "President Wu, this matter has attracted widespread attention in the international community and has had a certain impact on the reputation of the University of Hong Kong. β
"This incident has indeed had a great negative impact on the University of Hong Kong, but there is no way to deal with Li Junpeng for the time being. According to the information we got from the police, the facts of Li Junpeng's crime are clear, and there are many witnesses at the scene, but after all, it has not been tried by the court, and the coffin cannot be closed. β
Another reporter asked: "What about Zhao Xiaoli and Li Yingxing?" According to information from within the police, they were Li Junpeng's accomplices, and a reporter interviewed a police officer involved in the case about the news, and the policeman did not deny it. It can be said that without the help of Zhao Xiaoli and Li Yingxing, such a thing would not have happened at all, and I wonder how the school plans to deal with these two students? β
"In the past two days, I have also seen relevant reports, and I have also learned some information from the police, some of the behaviors of Zhao Xiaoli and Li Yingxing are indeed inappropriate, but they want to match Gu Yinxi and Li Junpeng out of good intentions, and they do not realize the severity of the matter, that is to say, they subjectively do not mean to help Li Junpeng commit the crime; Whether it was really intentional to assist Li Junpeng in committing a criminal act, the police have not yet reached a conclusion, so the school has no corresponding plan for the time being. β
"It is reported that Miss Gu has not come to school since the incident, I wonder what her current situation is? Is the spirit still stable? β
Before that, the reporter naturally interviewed the people of the Gu family, but unfortunately no one spoke from beginning to end, and they all left in a hurry under the escort of bodyguards. Not only that, everyone's complexion is not very good, especially Liu Huiyun, the annoyance on his face can be seen by fools. In desperation, the reporter could only turn to Wu Zhengxi, hoping to get some useful information from Wu Zhengxi.
"Gu Yinxi did not suffer any substantial damage, but was frightened, after the incident, the school has already made a special trip to visit, and everything is fine. As for not coming to school, it was specially approved by the school, after all, girls always need to have a good rest when they encounter such a thing, and we also hope that Gu Yinxi can cheer up and return to campus as much as possible.
