Still Talking Tough at Death's Door

"Student, we understand that Wen Jing is still unconscious. You're the only witness involved. Can you tell us exactly what happened on the rooftop?"

Su Yinan shook his head, still unwilling to break his promise with Wen Jing.

Su Minghui knew what had happened and understood why he was doing this. She said earnestly, "Nannan, I know you want to protect her, but real protection means making the bad people receive the punishment they deserve. If you don't say anything and she doesn't say anything either, have you thought about what she'll do in the future?"

The future...

That was right. Wen Jing had been rescued, and one day, when she recovered, she would have to return to that Household. What would happen then?

Only by eliminating the source of her pain could she live a normal life.

Su Yinan made up his mind and nodded. "I understand."

"Actually, Wen Jing jumped on her own. In the conventional sense, that means suicide. But I know she was actually murdered."

Su Yinan's words left everyone confused. His gaze swept over the stepfather and Wen Jing's mother, making the stepfather so uncomfortable that he turned his head away.

He raised his hand and pointed at the two of them. "They're the murderers! They drove Wen Jing to her death!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Wen Jing's mother cursed.

Su Yinan continued, "Before Wen Jing jumped, she told me that her stepfather had been molesting and raping her for a long time, while her mother turned a blind eye to it!"

That statement instantly caused an uproar among the onlookers. What had originally been a case of campus bullying suddenly escalated into a matter of family ethics.

The police officer's expression turned solemn as well. "Can you describe this situation in detail?"

Su Yinan nodded and proceeded to tell the police everything that had happened on the rooftop.

The crowd listening nearby erupted into another commotion.

Wen Jing's mother and stepfather both went pale, but they remained stubborn. "Fake! It's all fake! Everything he said is fake! Even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its cubs! I've always treated her like my own daughter. How could I possibly do something so filthy?"

"Exactly! There were no cameras on the rooftop, so of course he can say whatever he wants!"

Still talking tough at death's door. Let me teach you what honesty means!

Su Leyun waved his little hand, and an invisible golden light flowed from his fingertips into Wen Jing's mother and stepfather's mouths.

Their mouths suddenly stopped obeying their control.

"I'm guilty! I did it all! I didn't even spare my own stepdaughter. I'm a beast!"

"I don't deserve to be her mother! It's all my fault!"

The two took turns confessing everything they had done. Su Leyun found it a little dry, so he waved his little hand again. The two immediately dropped to their knees, repenting while repeatedly slapping themselves across the face. Their faces swelled up like pig heads, yet they still did not stop.

For a moment, it sounded like firecrackers were going off outside the emergency room.

The scene of their confession was so surreal that even the police were dumbfounded. The onlookers around them also pulled out their phones to record it.

Everyone was furious over what Wen Jing had suffered. Some especially emotional people even took advantage of the chaos to kick the two of them. Once the first person did it, a second and third followed, and everyone rushed forward to vent their anger.

Although the police came to their senses and tried their best to stop them, by the time the two were led out of the hospital in handcuffs, they had already been beaten into pig heads.

As one of the parties involved, Su Yinan also went to the police station to give a statement.

Su Minghui went with him, while Zhou Guomin slipped away using the universal excuse of "something came up at the company."

At the police station, Su Minghui watched Su Yinan seriously describe what had happened and suddenly felt that he seemed different somehow.

He seemed much more mature than before.

After leaving the police station, Su Yinan still looked troubled.

Before Su Minghui could ask, he spoke first. "Mom, can we help Wen Jing?"

Wen Jing's family had never been well-off. Now that her mother and stepfather had both been arrested and would likely be sentenced, she had no ability to pay for her own medical expenses.

Worried that his mother would refuse, Su Yinan even offered, "We can use my allowance. From now on, just use my allowance to support her!"

Su Yinan, who complained every month that his allowance was not enough, was actually volunteering to donate it. Su Minghui was deeply gratified and smiled. "Don't worry. I've already arranged everything."

Su Minghui had always wanted a daughter.

She thought that if she had a daughter, she would surely cherish her and place the best things in the world before her.

Unfortunately, she never got her wish, while irresponsible parents like Wen Jing's mother and father had a daughter.

Such a smart and beautiful girl had been left with scars that could never be erased during the best years of her life, all because she had encountered parents worse than beasts.

Therefore, although Su Yinan had done nothing wrong in the entire matter, Su Minghui still decided to help after considering Wen Jing's suffering and family circumstances.

Not only did she pay for the emergency treatment, she also left behind money for Wen Jing's future rehabilitation. Considering that both her leg and hand were fractured, she hired a caregiver as well to look after her daily needs afterward.

After hearing his mother's arrangements, Su Yinan relaxed considerably. "Thank you on Wen Jing's behalf."

But Su Minghui felt a heaviness in her chest. She had a feeling that this matter was not over yet. "This is all we can do. The hardest part of the road still has to be walked by her."

As it turned out, Su Minghui's intuition was extremely accurate.

The next day, a video titled The Beastly Parents Confess began spreading wildly across the internet. From the angle of the footage, it was clear that it had been recorded by one of the onlookers that day.

Because the content was so explosive, the video's views skyrocketed, and it quickly shot to the trending searches.

Once enough people watched it, it naturally spread to the students as well. Wen Jing's fall from the building had already caused a huge stir the day before, and after connecting it with the information revealed in the video, people quickly confirmed that the suicidal girl abandoned by her biological parents and molested and raped by her stepfather was Wen Jing.

Some people even posted Wen Jing's detailed personal information beneath the video.

Although the overwhelming majority condemned the beastly actions of Wen Jing's mother and stepfather, a small number of netizens still raised the banner of victim-blaming and posted unbearable comments.

The moment Su Minghui discovered the video, she called Fu Siwen.

Fu Siwen had the backing of the Chu Family, and several of the domestic platforms with the largest user bases belonged to the Chu Family, so she could control the spread of the video to the greatest extent possible. "Siwen, you have to help me with this." Su Minghui sent Fu Siwen the video link and roughly explained what had happened the day before. Fu Siwen was so furious that she slammed her fist onto the table.
