Chapter 348
Qin Xian glanced around, understanding that due to the lag in information, people tend to take the first impression as the main narrative. Even when faced with the truth, they might start spinning conspiracy theories.
After all, Qin Yi is a teacher, and Wan Sitong is a student. Wan Sitong is in a weaker position.
Qin Yi is the eldest son of the Qin Family, while Wan Sitong is an ordinary person. Wan Sitong is disadvantaged.
So, from the moment Wan Sitong exposed this matter, Qin Yi was already tainted. His reputation as a music teacher had been completely damaged.
Although Qin Wenqiang had already arranged for public relations to handle the online public opinion, it was difficult to control the forums and group chats circulating among university students.
As Qin Xian was pondering this, he received a message from his wife, Ji Fei, asking how things were going.
"We're still investigating. Don't worry, we've already arranged for someone to gather evidence. This matter isn't hard to handle," Qin Xian replied.
Indeed, it wasn't difficult. If the Qin Family could be manipulated by such clumsy framing, it would be laughable.
Even if all the original video and audio files had been edited and deleted by Wan Sitong, they still had ways to recover them.
With some evidence of Wan Sitong's infatuation, the truth would soon come to light.
The hard part is dealing with the subsequent public opinion," Qin Xian honestly informed Ji Fei, letting her in on the latest developments.
After waiting for a while without a response, Qin Xian sent another message, "Did you just wake up and get called here? Have you eaten yet?"
Still no reply. Concerned, Qin Xian asked Qin Zhao to prepare some food and drinks, in case Ji Fei arrived hungry while catching up on the drama.
Qin Zhao, who was passionately browsing the internet, rolled his eyes at his older brother's request but obediently went to buy some nearby snacks.
Not long after, Qin Xian received a message from Ji Fei.
They had arrived, but Ji Fei had a question.
"There are so many reporters at the entrance."
"Remember to wear masks when you come in," Qin Xian reminded her.
Ji Fei replied, "I suddenly have a bold idea..."
Soon after, another group of people entered the Police Station. The staff assumed they were more relatives of the Qin Family, given their prominence, and didn't pay much attention.
Coincidentally, Qin Zhao also returned at this time.
Qin Xian took the food from Ji Fei and reminded his wife not to go hungry.
Ji Fei herself had forgotten that she hadn't eaten anything since waking up, as the whole situation had her adrenaline pumping.
"How far along are things?"
Just as Qin Xian was about to answer, Qin Yi was brought out. His face was grim, clearly furious at Wan Sitong's underhanded tactics.
As soon as he stepped out, he was met with a mix of students and teachers, their expressions varied. Some of the doubtful looks made Qin Yi feel utterly absurd.
Of course, some students stepped forward to express their belief in Qin Yi.
Ji Fei immediately noticed an important figure among them, "Zhou Rushi?"
[She's here too? Wait, that means she's living proof? Hmm... If we need to prove anything, she'd have to reveal the truth about last night. This... is tricky. Thankfully, the police only asked about Qin Yi's usual relationship with Wan Sitong, and she truthfully said Wan Sitong liked Qin Yi. If they asked what she was doing last night, the girl might not dare to lie.]
Qin Yi exchanged a few words with the students and also said something to Zhou Rushi, his attitude making things quite clear... Zhou Rushi's expression also shifted.
[It seems Zhou Rushi has realized Qin Yi doesn't remember last night. This makes her even more reluctant to reveal anything, as she truly wants to pretend last night never happened.]
Oh dear, she's looking over here. Is she looking at the Qin Family? Ah, she thinks the Qin Family can handle this, so it's best not to disclose what happened last night, lest their relationship gets dragged into the online public opinion, making the situation even more complicated.
Upon hearing these thoughts, the Qin Family couldn't help but glance back and forth between Zhou Rushi and Qin Yi.
One was clueless, the other putting on a convincing act.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Xian, however, thought Zhou Rushi's reasoning was sound. If another teacher-student relationship were brought into the mix, the public opinion might not be favorable.
And even if Zhou Rushi admitted to being with Qin Yi last night... how could they prove it?
Amidst the chaos, Wan Sitong burst out, crying and screaming at Qin Yi, "It's you! You ruined my life! You tried to force yourself on me! How dare you deny it and even slander me instead! I can't live like this, I can't!"
Everyone was shocked. Wan Sitong looked utterly deranged, like someone who had been deeply wronged and traumatized, shaking the confidence of even those who believed in Qin Yi.
However, Wan Sitong's parents stepped forward and slapped her several times, shouting, "You troublemaker! Who told you to call the police? Who told you to stir up this scandal? Withdraw your complaint and say it was all your delusion!"
This only made things more chaotic, with many stepping in to break up the fight.
But Wan Sitong stubbornly refused to back down.
[Now we know why Wan Sitong is so unhinged. With parents like these, who don't even bother to verify the truth and, because of Qin Yi's status, completely disregard their daughter, treating her actions as if they bring shame to the family, it's no wonder she turned out this way.]
[Wan Sitong is also laughable. She just wanted to get back at Qin Yi, to force him to apologize. She even thought that if Qin Yi regretted his actions, she could retract her statements, not realizing that once words are spoken, they can't be taken back.]
Hearing this, the Qin Family was thoroughly disgusted. What a massive mess caused by someone so reckless, ignorant, and foolish.
Once the police finally managed to calm things down, Qin Yi spoke coldly, "Wan Sitong, I never imagined you could be this insane. Just because I rejected you, you want to destroy me? Do you think you can get away with this? Don't worry, I won't let you off either. Your defamation and the fact that you drugged me last night, trying to force yourself on me—these are all crimes. I won't forgive you. You'll face the full force of the law."
Wan Sitong likely didn't expect Qin Yi to counter-sue her, assuming he'd be too busy defending himself. His cold, ruthless demeanor shook her, as she had never seen him like this before.
"You... you hurt me, and instead of apologizing, you threaten me? No matter how powerful your family is, I will expose you... You don't deserve to be a music teacher. You don't deserve to love music." Wan Sitong was trying to use Qin Yi's career as leverage.
But Qin Yi, faced with her almost nonsensical ranting, simply scoffed.
"The worst mistake I ever made was taking you on as my student."
