“I’m not a victim and I didn’t give in to Professor Wang. My friend beside me isn’t a victim either. All of you, please, move away!” Mu Huan said coldly.
“If you’re not a victim, why is your name on the victims’ list?”
Mu Huan took a glance at the name tag hanging in front of the reporter and said, “Meng Xiang? When are you going to return the one million yuan you owe my family?!”
The reporter who was called out by her replied, “When did I owe your family one million yuan? Don’t speak nonsense!”
“Your name is on the list of debtors of my family! If you didn’t owe my family money, why would your name be on it?”
The reporter replied, “How would I know why my name is on your family’s list of debtors?!”
“Exactly! How would I know why that name list has my name on it?!”
The reporter was instantly at a loss for words. He felt that her words made sense.
After the whole place went silent for a while, a female reporter took a step forward and said, “Young girl, you don’t have to deny it because you’re scared. We’re here to help you!”
“I’m not scared. How do I admit to it if I’m not a victim in the first place?”
“Young girl, the matter has already been exposed this much, you don’t have to be afraid anymore, you should step out courageously and let the whole country know about the bad deeds that Professor Wang had committed! Let this issue blow as big as it can and make all the universities concerned about it to prevent such victims like you in the future!” the female reporter said, sounding like she was filled with indignation!
Mu Huan sneered. “No matter how magnificent you make it sound, it cannot cover up your desire to get views for the news. I can understand how tough it is being in the media industry and I understand your stress. I know everyone needs to survive and wants the latest gossip! But as a reporter, a reporter who is trying to uncover the truth, you’ve decided that a person is a victim without investigating it thoroughly, and you force one to appear as the victim in front of the cameras. In this sense, can you still be called a reporter?
“Besides that, look at me, do you think that I’m someone who’s scared?”
All the reporters were speechless.
Being able to reply and retort calmly when faced with such a situation, indeed, she didn’t look like someone who’d be afraid!
“Furthermore, even if someone you are interviewing is the victim, what can you even help her with by surrounding her like this? All of you doing this will just cause hurt to her for the second time! If you want to expose this matter and blow it up, you should go and find out why Professor Wang had managed to hide his acts for so long and not be found out. Find out why no one reported him and not let the victims be in the center of the comments. Asking them to step out is equal to destroying their lives in exchange for blowing this matter up!”
As Mu Huan had already made her point so clear and it was starting to rain, the reporters should have dispersed. That was because, even though they didn’t know the truth, they usually wouldn’t have surrounded victims and attacked them in this way.
But the reporters did not disperse.
The female reporter from just now became even more pushy and harder to deal with. She asked, “Ms. Mu Huan, are you refusing to admit that you’re a victim as you are afraid of being hurt a second time?”
“Ms. Mu Huan, as a victim, you know that being bullied by a professor is a really terrible matter. In this case, would you be able to bear for your fellow classmates to undergo such pain? Please stand up for yourself and for your other female classmates as well, alright?”
“Ms. Mu Huan…”
The reporters squeezed forward non-stop, to the point that both Mu Huan and Li Meng fell to the ground as they lost their balance. Even in this case, the reporters continued squeezing forward.
This made Mu Huan clench her fist in anger. Just as she was about to stand up and punch all of them to the ground…
