[Host, what do you plan to do? Are you going to expose this person's true colors?] 888 asked her, quite indignantly: [This kind of scum should have his crimes exposed so that no more girls will be deceived by him! Even our system despises people like him.]
Ye Mo tapped his fingers on the table and said, "[Exposing them is absolutely necessary...]"
Just like 888 said, only by exposing Han Heng's actions can we prevent girls from being deceived by him again. However, how to expose this matter is a problem. After all, convicting someone requires witness testimony and physical evidence.
After all, with Zhuang He, the agent who could turn black into white and white into black, Ye Mo felt that without concrete evidence, it was impossible to permanently smear Han Heng. Moreover, in such matters, it was best for the victim to come forward and identify Han Heng for the best effect.
But the person who made the accusation...
Ye Shuang doesn't need to consider it. She's currently deeply in love and completely smitten with Han Heng. In her heart, Han Heng is the best person in the world, someone who doesn't know she's Ye Family and is still willing to like her. Asking her to prove Han Heng is a scumbag is absurd. Even if she were willing, Ye Mo is worried she'd turn around and praise someone else.
Therefore, this person must be someone who has already been deceived by Han Heng and has lost all hope in him and harbors hatred towards him.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo's gaze fell on the computer screen. Looking at the document in front of him, he suddenly asked 888: [888, out of these forty-eight people, how many families had a falling out with Han Heng? And how many are still causing trouble now?]
Ye Mo referred to "others" rather than "person," because even if the girl was willing to accept being deceived, her family would not let it go.
888 said: [Let me see... Hmm, actually quite a few people have made a fuss about it, but in the end, Han Heng's agent used money and influence to settle most of them.]
Some families don't care much about their daughters; they're overjoyed to receive the money, because in their eyes, money is far more important than their daughters.
Of course, not all families can be appeased with money. Families who love their daughters will not give up easily and have been trying to expose the matter. However... Zhuang He has a good relationship with major media outlets, and the related news they post online is blocked as soon as it is published, and it doesn't make any waves at all.
Under these circumstances, some families compromised and took the money.
Some families simply let it go, but they were powerless to resist and compromised. However, others persisted.
[... Now only eight families are adamant about not taking the money and insisting that Han Heng apologize.]
The children from these eight families come from different backgrounds.
A girl was dumped by Han Heng and subjected to psychological manipulation (PUA). After the breakup, she became somewhat mentally unstable, and doctors said it was a sign of a mental problem.
She lived in a single-parent family and was raised by her mother. Now that her daughter has developed mental health issues, even if her mother is resentful, she is already exhausted just taking care of the child. So all she can do is grit her teeth and refuse the compensation offered by Han Heng.
This was all the self-respect she and her daughter had left; she didn't want to use money to erase the pain and sorrow her daughter had endured.
The reactions of other families whose daughters were abandoned by Han Heng varied, but fortunately, none of their situations were as severe as Han Heng's. However, without exception, they all harbored deep hatred for Han Heng.
"These eight families..." Ye Mo began, "888, give me their contact information."
She plans to contact these eight families to see what's going on.
The New Year has just ended, and the festive atmosphere hasn't faded yet, so Ye Mo doesn't plan to contact those eight families now, lest they be reminded of unpleasant things before the New Year is even over.
These past few days, Ye Shuang has been looking rather distressed, constantly sighing and looking at her phone. This has drawn attention from her family, especially Ye Rou, who knows her well. She couldn't help but glance at her several times, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
" Sister Momo, why hasn't Han Heng contacted me these past few days?" Ye Shuang asked Ye Mo, her face contorted with worry. "I can't get through on the phone either. Do you think he doesn't like me anymore, or has he fallen for another girl?"
Ye Mo: "..." In some ways, that statement is actually quite accurate.
Han Heng doesn't dislike you, or rather, he likes you a little, but it's not a real liking. He's mostly just playing around with you. As for liking other girls... that's not entirely wrong.
During the time Han Heng was "dating" Ye Shuang, he was also "dating" other girls. Han Heng was just one of the girls he was toying with.
Of course, Ye Mo wouldn't tell Ye Shuang these things, or rather, the truth, for the time being—any smart person wouldn't casually offer opinions on other people's relationship problems, even if that person was a close friend or relative; after all, it was a matter between the two of them.
If you, as a friend, stand by and offer advice, you might end up being blamed and ending up in a lose-lose situation. Why bother?
Therefore, to Ye Shuang's question, Ye Mo could only reply, "I don't know, he's probably busy..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuang sighed softly, holding her phone. Her young, innocent face wore an expression of heartbreak, causing Ye Mo's lips to twitch slightly. Then, he asked a fatal question:
Did you do your winter break homework?
"..." Ye Shuang's expression changed immediately, as if she had just remembered this.
As a second-year high school student, she had a lot of homework during the winter break, including a thick stack of test papers, but so far she had only started working on a few.
"Oh no, oh no!" Ye Shuang panicked immediately. Han Heng and their feelings were instantly forgotten. Only the words "winter break homework" remained in her mind.
She looked at Ye Mo with a pained expression. "I haven't finished my winter break homework yet!"
Ye Mo: I guessed it.
Given Ye Shuang's recent state of being glued to her phone, wallowing in melancholy and seemingly troubled by love, how could she possibly be thinking about her winter break homework? However, now that Ye Mo her, she finally remembers.
Ye Shuang didn't say anything more to Ye Mo. She hurriedly returned to her room, took out the winter vacation homework she had brought, and looked at the stack of still blank test papers. She felt a wave of dizziness.
Fortunately, there are still several days left before the end of winter break, so if she tries hard to write now, she still has time.
Knock knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on her door. Ye Shuang looked up and saw her older sister Ye Rou.
"Sister?" Ye Shuang was a little confused, not understanding why Ye Rou had come to see her.
Ye Rou walked over, her probing eyes fixed on Ye Shuang.
Ye Rou was two years older than Ye Shuang. As Ye Shuang's older sister, she knew her younger sister quite well, so she had noticed Ye Shuang's recent strange behavior and had some suspicions in her mind.
Ye Shuang felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze. "Sister, is there something you need?"
"Have you started dating recently?" Ye Rou suddenly asked.
Ye Shuang: "!!"
"Sis, who told you that?" She looked around, her expression uneasy as she explained, "I don't even have enough time to study, where would I find the time to date?"
Looking at her restless expression, Ye Rou could only chuckle.
"... Do you think I would have brought it up if I hadn't already confirmed it?" she countered Ye Shuang, then calmly added, "So, who is the person you're dating? Is he from your school?"
Ye Shuang: "..."
