Below, a group of philanthropists were actively replying and discussing. The tone was harmonious and full of positive energy. At least it was all out in the open—a mutual agreement.
Dean, with a critical attitude, watched for a while before finally speaking up, "Guys, have you managed to get the stuff I wanted?"
Two sleazy men jumped in fright, especially Robert.
This thick-browed, big-eyed veteran stammered and confessed without being prompted, "Dean, you’re back. Harry and I have been analyzing Sophie’s psychological characteristics through these websites."
Harry was much more straightforward. "Don’t be so hypocritical, buddy. You just said you had a thing for a sophomore girl majoring in Natural and Scientific Studies. It’s a charitable cause, nothing to be ashamed of."
Dean’s face darkened. "I don’t care about your charitable cause. I only care about the task I assigned you!"
Under his subtle influence, Harry and Robert had already started getting used to following Dean’s orders.
Harry quickly produced a printed document. "I’ve questioned her parents, classmates, and roommates to get a general idea of Sophie’s social circle and her usual demeanor... It’s quite chaotic."
"She seems to have a peculiar hobby of ’collecting partners’; her ex-boyfriends span all departments in the university, totaling thirty-eight. Moreover, nearly every male student on her apartment floor has slept with her."
"Are her social relationships this complicated?" Dean frowned.
"Yes," Harry nodded. "She’s also a well-known ’sweetheart daughter’ on that website we were just looking at, with a very good reputation. Many ’philanthropists’ have enjoyed brief and happy times with her.
"However, Sophie’s parents seem unaware of this. According to them, their daughter only had one boyfriend in high school. Her grades were excellent; she could have attended a better university, but she came to this crappy school because of him."
"Her first love is also at this university?" Dean had found a key point.
Normally, a girl willing to give up a clearly bright future for a man shows that, at that time, she truly loved him. How could such a person change into what she is now?
Moreover, an ex-girlfriend becoming the campus bike could easily provoke Sophie’s first love into retaliating.
"I also suspected something was off," Harry sighed. "So, I coerced and bribed the roommate of Sophie’s first love. That guy’s a total loser."
"After they matriculated, they attended a welcome party hosted by upperclassmen. Sophie’s first love was lured away by a bunch of bastards, leaving Sophie behind. She’s very pretty, and they ended up getting her drunk; that’s when the incident occurred."
"Afterward, Sophie’s first love, intimidated by those guys, didn’t dare speak up for her—he acted like a coward."
"Sophie, perhaps provoked by this, also gave up on calling the police. After that, she started collecting male conquests and would often send pictures of them to her first love."
A significant reason for the frequency of sexual assault cases among students at United States universities is that these students see themselves as adults, entitled to freedom, independence, and handling their own affairs. Consequently, involving parents or the police is often looked down upon by their peers. A peculiar notion, but a reality nonetheless.
However, Sophie’s actions would further provoke her first love. Secrets couldn’t be kept at school. One could imagine he was pretty much socially dead. Dean even suspected the guy might have a cuckolding fetish to be able to endure all this without dropping out.
Dean temporarily listed Sophie’s first love as one of the suspects.
He turned to Robert. "Buddy, what about the information you’ve collected?"
Robert’s task was straightforward.
Holding the information obtained from the precinct and Arlene, he said, "The female victim’s name is Yang Di. She’s Chinese and enrolled at XX School two years ago."
"Four days ago, with winter break approaching, her floor hosted a party to welcome the holidays."
"Eventually, the party turned into a Silver party. Yang Di wanted to leave but was stopped by several male students..."
"Her parents are undocumented workers here, applying for a green card. It’s also for this reason that after she was gang-raped, she didn’t dare defy the school’s wishes and gave up on suing the students who harmed her."
Hearing this, Dean sighed inwardly. The moon overseas isn’t as pure as they say; it’s not that great. This place is just a paradise for the rich. For the poor, no matter where they are, it’s always... He shook his head, casting aside these distracting thoughts.
This case should be easy to handle; physical evidence and witnesses wouldn’t be hard to find. As long as Yang Di’s concerns are addressed, if she takes the initiative to sue, the case can be cracked right away. This is like picking up free Experience Points.
So Dean casually asked, "Who suggested the party? Also, is there a list of the male students involved? If so, have Holz collect their DNA. I’ll handle Yang Di and the warrant."
I just need to give Monet a heads-up about that. As long as Yang Di sues, if Monet says a word to the presiding judge, this case will be easy to handle.
But what Robert said next made Dean want to punch him.
Robert flipped through the documents before reading aloud, "One of the party organizers was our current victim, Sophie. She loved throwing these kinds of purposeful parties and then watching those girls fall into depravity."
"Sophie is popular with many guys but despised by some girls."
"At their school, many girls looking for sugar daddies only had their personalities drastically change after attending parties hosted by Sophie."
