Li Lan was completely stunned. Her father had said the same thing yesterday.
"But..." Li Lan still wanted to say something.
Yun Que'er interrupted her directly. "So you think my father got himself arrested just to grope you and take advantage of you? What could he possibly gain from that? You have a brain. Why don't you use it and see that he was just trying to catch you because he was afraid you'd fall? "
"Catch me?" Li Lan's mind went blank, as if something was collapsing.
Yun Que'er continued, "Think carefully about what happened that day. Was my father really premeditating this and deliberately targeting you? What happened when he saw you? How did he catch you?"
Li Lan fell into deep thought.
Those events were too terrifying for her. For the past few days, she had been forcing herself not to think about them.
But now, as she recalled, she suddenly noticed some details she had overlooked.
At that time, Yun Motan was indeed not coming for her. He was holding a textbook in his hand, as if he was on his way to class and just happened to pass by.
Then, when she was about to fall, she heard a loud noise, and then she was caught.
In her panic, Li Lan glanced and saw that Yun Motan's textbook had fallen to the ground.
But because she was so scared at that time, she didn't pay any attention to it.
When Yun Motan caught her...
Li Lan suddenly widened her eyes.
"He... He..."
Yun Que'er frowned. "What did you remember?"
"I just remembered..." Li Lan bit her lip. "When Teacher Yun caught me, his hands were clenched into fists."
That meant that when Yun Motan caught Li Lan from behind, although his hands were near her chest, he didn't grope her at all. In fact, he had deliberately clenched his fists to avoid suspicion.
Yun Que'er secretly let out a sigh of relief.
All her efforts were not in vain. Finally, she got the truth from Li Lan.
Yun Motan was finally saved.
"So is that what you told the police at that time?"
Li Lan looked embarrassed and shook her head.
"I was so scared at that time. A female doctor asked me. I only said that Teacher Yun seemed to have groped me. I didn't say exactly what happened. When the policemen came, I had already fainted. When I woke up, I was at home. I heard from my father that Teacher Yun had been arrested."
"But you told that doctor at that time that Shen Qingqing was the witness."
"Yes." Li Lan nodded tremblingly. "So did I misunderstand Teacher Yun? He actually didn't do anything to me, but I didn't explain it clearly to the doctor at that time."
Yun Que'er sighed and patted Li Lan on the shoulder.
"It's okay that you didn't explain it clearly. After all, if I were you, I would be scared too. It's normal not to be able to explain clearly. But do you know what Shen Qingqing said when she testified for you?"
Li Lan was a little scared and didn't dare to look Yun Que'er in the eye.
"How... How did she say?"
Yun Que'er sneered, leaned close to Li Lan's ear, and whispered something.
"How could that be!" Li Lan was shocked. "Isn't she lying?"
"But you said that Shen Qingqing was the only witness, so whatever she said was the truth." Yun Que'er said quietly. "And she described it in such vivid detail that it seemed like it had really happened."
"Why!" Li Lan looked very excited. "She's trying to ruin me! I'll be destroyed by her!"
Li Lan grabbed Yun Que'er's hand. "Am I finished? What should I do now!"
"You still have a chance." Yun Que'er took out a tape recorder from her pocket. "Our conversation just now has been recorded. This is more useful than a witness. As long as you come with me to the police station and explain everything clearly, you won't be affected in any way in the future."
Li Lan widened her eyes. "No! I'm already in this situation. If I go and say it again, I'll be ridiculed! Yun Que'er, you're a girl too. Can't you really understand me?"
Yun Que'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I think your father must have told you a lot that day. They will never think badly of you because of this. Besides, this thing never happened. What are you afraid of?"
"But what about others?" Li Lan was very emotional. "What's the use of just my family? The people in school and the people in my village will all look down on me."
"Look at me." Yun Que'er held down the restless Li Lan and looked directly into her eyes. "Not to mention that this thing hasn't spread to your village at all. You're just worrying unnecessarily. As for the teachers in school, they won't make things difficult for you, a child, because of something that never happened. And the classmates, how did they treat me a few days ago? How do they treat me now? Do you really think they care? And why do we have to care so much about what others think when we live in this world?"
But Li Lan was obviously scared out of her wits and didn't dare to testify at all.
She covered her head and kept retreating in resistance.
"Absolutely not! Shen Qingqing said that in this kind of thing, only girls suffer. I won't end up well!"
Yun Que'er narrowed her eyes.
Finally, she waited for this sentence from Li Lan!
"Did you say that Shen Qingqing taught you this?" Yun Que'er grabbed Li Lan's hand.
Li Lan nodded timidly. "Yes... Yes... I really regret crying at that time and letting so many people hear. If they hadn't heard and just let it go, maybe none of this would have happened later. But I was really scared. My mind was full of what Shen Qingqing said. I'm going crazy!"
Li Lan was sobbing. She felt that she was the most unlucky person in the world.
She looked at Yun Que'er with tears in her eyes. "If Shen Qingqing hadn't said these things to me at that time, would this not have happened?"
Yun Que'er rolled her eyes. "You finally understand."
She grabbed Li Lan's hand and said gently to her.
"Those words of hers were popular ages ago. No one else believes them. Why do you? It's because she saw from the beginning that you were timid and deliberately scared you."
"Scared me?" Li Lan looked at Yun Que'er in surprise. "You mean she did it on purpose?"
"Right." Yun Que'er nodded.
As for how Shen Qingqing had calculated all this, Yun Que'er couldn't tell Li Lan.
Even if she did, Li Lan probably wouldn't understand.
But it was enough that Li Lan realized that Shen Qingqing had done it on purpose.
"But... Isn't the truth what she said?" Li Lan was still a little unsure and asked Yun Que'er for confirmation.
"One thing can prove it." Yun Que'er said. "From the time the incident happened until now, hasn't it only been my father who has been unlucky? Hasn't anyone done anything to you?"
