"On good terms?"
Chen Shi'an's brow furrowed even more. "If they were on good terms, why would something like this happen?"
At the same time, some memories of his previous life surfaced in his mind.
He remembered very clearly that in quite a few cases, a man and woman had been passionately in love, yet after they slept together, the woman reported the man, and the charges often stuck, landing him behind bars.
In his previous life, women's rights had awakened. Whether before, during, or afterward, as long as a woman's wishes were violated, the matter would become very serious.
But in this life, in the Desolate Ruins where the law existed in name only, were women's wishes respected just as much?
Absolutely impossible!
Hou Fang was, after all, a Squad Leader in the City Guard Battalion and had previously spent more than ten years in the Demon Hunting Camp, yet he had been locked up on a charge like this.
There was definitely more behind this matter than met the eye.
Qianshan Xue said quietly, "Being on good terms doesn't mean they were betrothed. If Hou Fang really used violence to violate her, and she reported him, a case could still be opened.
"But what puzzles me is that Hou Fang himself is a Squad Leader in the City Guard Battalion, yet the battalion didn't hesitate in the slightest in handling this matter. The moment she reported him, they took him into custody.
"That is completely at odds with how the City Guard Battalion operates."
Chen Shi'an sighed softly. "There's an eight or nine out of ten chance that Brother Hou suffered this because of his connection to me."
A puzzled look appeared on Qianshan Xue's face.
Chen Shi'an continued, "Brother Hou has taken very good care of me.
