Chapter 399: Detained Again
Chapter 399: Rearrest
Li Chunhua was also infuriated.
She thought that even if Mengyu argued again, she was still her adopted daughter, and there is a saying in the world, "No parents are without faults." Being the adopted daughter of the Jiang Family, she was inherently disadvantaged.
And the matter of being sold as a Shared Wife, since she’s a girl, it would be disadvantageous for her as well if this matter leaked. She was sure Mengyu wouldn’t dare to speak up.
She was sure, even if Jiang Mengyu dared to say it, she had no evidence, and at most it would just be a case of "He said, she said".
But what she never expected was, when did Jiang Mengyu’s eloquence become so sharp?
Jiang Huaiyu had never heard Mengyu’s self-defense in class, and during the conflict with Chu Zisong, mainly Shen Qi and Wu Jiangsheng were leading the attack, and she really didn’t know that Jiang Mengyu’s eloquence had become so formidable!
What’s crucial was, Jiang Mengyu was actually carrying with her a contract signed and thumb printed by her mother!
Moreover, she purposely directed people’s thoughts towards the benefits she obtained in exchange for her own body, to freely resume high school.
Was this implying she was engaging in "body trade"?
If the news of her "body trade" got out, would the mysterious person still help her?
Yes, Mengyu also thought on the spot to use public opinion to pressure the people behind Jiang Huaiyu.
Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe only knew how to do things through proper channels, but they never thought that such murky deals don’t need direct confrontation.
Just by exposing their shady transactions, the person behind them would become wary.
After all, both Father Jiang and Madam Jiang were ordinary people, lacking a strong background or extraordinary abilities.
Imagine, if it got out that despite committing the crime of human trafficking, they weren’t convicted, and even if they were detained by the police, they were still able to be bailed out and live freely, all because their daughter engaged in a "body trade".
Would those who protected Father Jiang and Madam Jiang dare to continue protecting them?
Will people think, if you protect Father Jiang and Madam Jiang so much, are you also involved in similar transactions with Jiang Huaiyu?
At this time, an issue of moral conduct was still a major concern, unlike in later times where it’s merely a minor issue.
Especially when copies of the contract were floating around everywhere, those people had to consider their own reputations if they wished to continue their protection!
Knowing this, Jiang’s mother and daughter realized that staying further would yield no good results and had to leave dejectedly.
Of course, upon leaving, Jiang Huaiyu didn’t forget to drop a façade comment: "Jiang Mengyu, you just wait!"
Jiang Mengyu naturally couldn’t show weakness: "Fine, I’ll be waiting!"
Ah Xin asked Mengyu, "Master, just letting them go like this?"
A sneer surfaced on Mengyu’s face: "They can’t escape."
Actually, when Gu Dongxing handed Father Jiang and Madam Jiang over to the police station initially, he also submitted the contract that Mengyu brought out, and moreover, it was the "original" copy printed with her spiritual power.
However, that original was deliberately "lost", which led to the crime of Father Jiang and Madam Jiang being changed from "trafficking women" to "receiving excessive dowry", thereby obtaining their release.
Now by scattering copies of the contract which fully proved Li Chunhua’s human trafficking, and adding in the unspoken speculations about Jiang Huaiyu’s "personal transactions",
She believed that those who had released them, even if just to prove that they did not partake in physical transactions with Jiang Huaiyu, would immediately rearrest them.
Indeed, that same afternoon, she received news that Jiang’s parents had been rearrested.
The mysterious person Jiang Huaiyu had hoped would save her parents, despite Jiang Huaiyu’s repeated messages for a meeting, never appeared.
