Chapter 32 I Don't Want to Go to Jail
After hanging up the phone, Rong Zheng hurriedly went out and arrived at the door of room 204 of the hotel that Rong Xi had mentioned on the phone.
Knock on the door.
Soon, the door opened from the inside.
Rong Xi sported a head of granny gray hair and wore a white bathrobe with the collar slightly open, revealing ambiguous marks on his slender chest.
When he saw Rong Zheng, it was like seeing a living Bodhisattva. "Sister, you must save me. I don't want to go to jail."
"What exactly happened?" Rong Zheng asked.
Rong Xi only gave Rong Zheng an address over the phone, telling her to come and rescue him as soon as possible. He dared not say anything else, fearing that Rong Zheng would abandon him if he did.
Only when he saw that the person had arrived did he dare to speak.
Rong Zheng learned from Rong Xi that he had slept with a girl who had just graduated from university. She was two years older than Rong Xi and was an intern in the sales department of Lu's Group.
The girl is now saying that Rong Xi raped her and she's going to call the police.
Rong Zheng was furious. "You're only 19 and you're already doing such a scumbag thing?"
Rong Xi hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't rape her. I met her when I joined the Lu Group. We had a normal relationship. It was clearly consensual, but afterwards she accused me of rape."
Rong Zheng frowned. "You mean, she slandered you?"
Rong Xi nodded hastily.
If it were truly a slander, Rongxi wouldn't be so afraid. It's likely that things aren't that simple, but he doesn't sound like he's lying when he says these things.
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal; if not handled properly, Rong Xi could really end up in jail.
Rong Zheng asked, "Where is she?"
Rong Xi pointed inside the room, "It's inside."
Rong Zheng entered the room and saw a girl curled up on the headboard with her arms wrapped around her knees, her eyes red from crying. She really looked like she had been bullied.
Rong Zheng is a psychologist, and she knows that at this moment, she absolutely cannot side with Rong Xi, otherwise she will only anger the girl.
She sat down opposite the girl and spoke gently, "I'm Rong Xi's older sister. Can you tell me what happened? If he really hurt you, I will never let him get away with it."
"Sis, whose side are you on?"
Rong Zheng glared coldly at Rong Xi, "Shut up!"
Rong Xi pursed his lips and sat down on the sofa not far away.
Shen Ran wiped away her tears and choked out, "I drank too much, and he took the opportunity to bring me to a hotel room and defiled me."
Rong Xi immediately retorted, "How is it defiling? I asked you, and you agreed."
Shen Ran cried and said, "I was drunk, I don't know anything."
So that's where the problem lies.
Rong Zheng asked Shen Ran, "My brother said you two are dating?"
Shen Ran nodded, "I agreed to date him a couple of days ago, but I didn't expect him to..." She started crying again as she spoke.
Rong Zheng stood up, pulled out two tissues, and handed them to Shen Ran. "Are you really going to call the police?"
Shen Ran did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a few seconds before nodding.
Rong Zheng felt that there might still be room for maneuver.
She sat down next to Shen Ran. "You two have conflicting accounts, and you're boyfriend and girlfriend. Calling the police might not even convict him, and it could ruin your reputation. How about this? I'll make him apologize to you, and then I'll give you some financial compensation."
After a pause, Rong Zheng added, "Or if you're willing, I'll have him marry you."
"No way," Rong Xi disagreed. "I'm only 19. How can I get married?"
Rong Zheng looked coldly at Rong Xi, "Then let's get engaged first, and register the marriage when you reach the legal age. If you dare to do it, you should dare to take responsibility."
"I won't marry him," Shen Ran said.
Seeing that Shen Ran refused so decisively, Rong Zheng figured that she might have her own reasons. "What are your thoughts? You can tell me."
"Compensate me one million, and then give me a permanent position at the company."
Rong Xi jumped to his feet, shouting angrily, "One million? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Rong Zheng hadn't expected Shen Ran to make such a request. She could understand asking for an exorbitant amount of money, but this talk of getting a permanent position… "He just joined the company; how could he possibly afford to give you a permanent position?"
"I know that President Lu is his brother-in-law. Since you are his sister, you are the president's wife. As long as you ask, President Lu will definitely agree."
Rong Zheng turned to look at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi immediately waved his hand, "It wasn't me who said it. I remember what you reminded me before I joined the company. I've never told anyone at the company who my brother-in-law is."
Shen Ran said, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever."
Even knowing that Rong Xi's brother-in-law is Lu Peichuan, it's obvious that Shen Ran came prepared, and it seems that his stupid younger brother has been set up.
If this matter is reported to the police, Rong Xi will not fare well, and if the matter escalates, it will also affect the reputation of the Lu Group.
Lu Peichuan had already used his connections to get Rong Xi into the company, so she absolutely couldn't cause him any more trouble.
However, since the other party was clearly plotting something, she didn't need to be so polite.
Rong Zheng suppressed the gentleness in her eyes and said coldly, "One million is impossible. I can only give you 20 at most. Don't even think about getting a permanent position."
"Sis, why should we give her 20?" Rong Xi protested, then turned angrily to Shen Ran, "Are you invincible? Is sleeping with someone worth 20?"
Shen Ran ignored Rong Xi, knowing he didn't have the final say, and instead looked at Rong Zheng, saying, "One million, and a permanent position. Not one less."
Seeing Shen Ran's completely domineering attitude, Rong Zheng was very displeased and said in a low voice, "Then call the police."
Rong Xi had originally wanted to give Shen Ran a piece of her mind, but when she heard Rong Zheng say this, she turned pale with fright. "Sister, you can't call the police. I don't want to go to jail."
Rong Zheng said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let you go to jail. I'll hire the best lawyer for you."
He then turned to Shen Ran, "With the Lu family's influence in Jiangcheng, they certainly won't lose this lawsuit if it really goes to court, don't you think?"
Shen Ran clenched her fingers. "Are you threatening me?"
Rong Zheng smiled faintly, "You're allowed to scheme against others, but I'm not allowed to threaten you?"
Shen Ran's eyes flickered. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Rong Zheng didn't argue with her, only saying, "I won't give you a single penny of the 20. I advise you to take what you can get, or you'll end up losing both your money and your lover."
Shen Ran thought for a moment, "You have to give me the 20 right now."
Rong Zheng knew that Shen Ran had agreed, and to prevent her from making trouble about it later, Rong Zheng called Luo Qinghe over, drew up an agreement, had her sign it, and paid the money before she felt at ease.
It was already past ten o'clock when I finished dealing with things here.
Rong Zheng wanted to invite Luo Qinghe for a late-night snack, but she had a case to handle and didn't have time, so she left in a hurry.
Rong Zheng drove Rong Xi home.
Shen Ran, who had been hiding in the shadows, took out his phone and made a call as soon as Rong Zheng's car drove away.
"I did as you said, but Rongxi's sister didn't call President Lu to ask him to help me get a permanent position, and she only gave me 20 yuan."
She said she'd call the police if I didn't agree. She's Mrs. Lu, the Lu family is powerful and influential; I didn't dare offend her, so I had no choice but to agree.
