Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

The injury assessment report must be out!

Yu Zhi couldn't hide his joy. He looked around, trotted to a relatively secluded place, and pressed the answer button.

When the call was connected, Yu Zhi took the initiative to greet Huo Yao.

"Huo Lu, good afternoon."

Huo Yao smiled and asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Just finished eating."

After a few greetings, Huo Yao got to the point: "Is it convenient to talk now?"

Yu Zhi: "Convenient."

"I've already got the injury assessment report."

Yu Zhi held his breath, said "hmm", and waited for Huo Yao's next words.

Huo Yao paused for a moment and said truthfully, "I read the report at the appraisal center and also asked the forensic doctor who performed the appraisal for details."

"The conclusion is that the report proves that the bruises on your body were caused by humans, and they match the details you described."

"Also, the forensic doctor's report provides the timeframe for the appearance of the multiple bruises on your body. Combined with the time you reported the crime on Saturday, it all matches up."

Hope ignited in Yu Zhi's heart, and his tone was urgent: "So I can sue him? I have a chance of winning?"

Huo Yao's silence answered Yu Zhi.

The hope that had just been ignited gradually faded.

Yu Zhi fell silent as well.

Across the phone, Huo Yao also felt Yu Zhi's disappointment.

He felt bad, but he couldn't deceive Yu Zhi.

"If we want to prosecute him for attempted rape, the evidence is still too little."

"Mr. Zhao is just a suspect, but there's no hard evidence. The judge won't convict him. I can sue him, but I have no chance of winning."

"From my professional perspective, I suggest you give up, because this is bound to be a waste of time and money and a failed lawsuit."

Yu Zhi didn't speak for a while.

Huo Yao didn't hang up the phone either.

The two of them remained silent for a long time.

Until Yu Zhi's suppressed voice came.

"But, Huo Lu..."

"You said before that this isn't a dead end..."

Yu Zhi sniffed, tilted his head upwards, and forced back his tears.

Today is a rare sunny day, but Yu Zhi is in a terrible mood.

The bright sunshine could not penetrate Yu Zhi's heart at all; he just felt it was dazzling.

It stings my eyes.

Yu Zhi slowed down and said again: "I'm sorry, Huo Lu, I don't mean to blame you, I just... it's just hard for me to accept it for the time being."

"I know."

Huo Yao also apologized, "I said before that it wasn't a dead end. I thought we could get strong evidence from the injury assessment report. I'm sorry, Yu Zhi, I was naive and made you happy for nothing."

Yu Zhi smiled self-deprecatingly: "I understand what you mean, Huo Lu."

"It's all my fault that I wasn't hurt badly enough."

If he had really been killed by Zhao Lian's father... the situation would not be like this now.

Huo Yao understood the hidden meaning in Yu Zhi's words, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"Yu Zhi, you can't think like that."

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that attempted rape is better than actual rape in every sense of the word."

"This happened because the law is not perfect enough, not because you were not injured seriously enough."

"You can blame a lot of people, including me, but you can't blame yourself."

"Yu Zhi, you are the victim, remember this."

The tears that I had been holding back burst out at this moment.

Yu Zhi choked up and said, "How can I blame you, Huo Lu, you are the only one who helped me..."

"Do you blame Zhao? Just blaming them is too light. I want him to be punished, but I can't do it, I can't do it..."

"Yes, I'm the victim, but why am I the only one suffering? All the malice is directed at me alone. I don't understand..."

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. In the end, Yu Zhi cried so hard that he couldn't speak at all.

Huo Yao waited on the other end of the phone for Yu Zhi to calm down.

He offered no urging and no comforting.

There is no comfort in the absence of justice.

It’s better to cry and vent the resentment in your heart.

After a few minutes, Yu Zhizui's intense crying subsided and his emotions gradually calmed down.

He wiped his tears with his coat sleeve, took a deep breath, looked down, and found that the phone was still on.

Yu Zhi realized it belatedly and felt embarrassed, hesitating: "Huo Lu, you, you...why don't you hang up the phone..."

Huo Yao chuckled and said, "Are you done crying?"

Yu Zhi didn't know how to answer, and after a long while, he uttered a sound: "Oh, you, I... Ouch!"

You can tell how embarrassed Yu Zhi is from his tone.

Yu Zhi said embarrassedly: "...I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Huo Lu."

Huo Yao imitated his tone and said "ouch", intending to make him happy.

Then ask, “Are you feeling better?”

Yu Zhi said "hmm".

Seeing that he was shy, Huo Yao took the initiative to change the subject: "Then can I continue?"

Yu Zhiwei was stunned: "What did you say?"

"The case, I haven't finished talking about it yet."

"Didn't you suggest that I give up?"

"If you can't win a lawsuit for attempted rape, there's still another way."

"what?"

"Isn't he throwing dirty water on you? He says you seduced him. You, the victim, can't find any evidence, and how can he, the thief crying thief, find evidence?"

Huo Yao said, "Yu Zhi, you can change your mindset and sue him for defamation and libel."

This is an angle that Yu Zhi has never thought of.

He asked Huo Yao, "Can we win the lawsuit like this? If we win, will Mr. Zhao be sentenced?"

Huo Yao replied, "The police officer's body camera footage and your written statements from the day of the incident are irrefutable evidence that he slandered you. Unless he can find concrete evidence that you seduced him, with such irrefutable evidence in hand, I'm confident I can help you win this lawsuit."

"As for sentencing, it's impossible to impose a sentence of this magnitude. The final outcome will be compensation and a public apology from the other party."

Yu Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Won't he sue me in return? I have no evidence to prove he's defaming me."

Huo Yao said confidently, "Have you forgotten the injury assessment report? While it can't definitively prove he attempted rape, it's a proven fact that he was physically violent towards you. In court, even if the opposing lawyer speaks eloquently, he won't be able to clear his name."

"On the other hand, he himself is completely unharmed. If you forced him to seduce you, why doesn't he have any marks on his body?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhi was undoubtedly reassured by Huo Yao.

He sighed sincerely: "Huo Lu, you are so amazing."

Not only is he smart, but his thinking is also meticulous.

Huo Yao disagreed: "It's nothing, this is what I do."

Yu Zhi pressed on: "This is the greatest justice I can fight for myself, right?"

Huo Yao's righteousness was far from enough, but he could only answer, "Yes."

So, Yu Zhi no longer hesitated: "Okay."

"Then sue him for defamation and libel."

"Compensation is not important to me. My only demand is a public apology."

Yu Zhi thought about the rumors going around in school these days, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "I want Zhao to apologize to me in front of the whole school at the flag-raising ceremony."

Huo Yao replied, "Okay."

"I will do as you wish."
