Chapter 438

Fang Xiaoying and Wu Qiuling didn't go to any mixer; it wasn't that they were being snobbish, they just simply didn't want to date right now.

The former was obsessed with ousting the boss's secretary to take her place, while the latter had just broken up and didn't want to look for anyone for the time being.

So, they took advantage of the weekend to go shopping together.

Jingzhou Subway Line 2 is lined with all kinds of shopping venues, which suited the two of them perfectly.

Although it was the weekend, the subway was packed, but everyone was used to it; this is just life.

Since the weather had warmed up, the two "koi" had changed into summer clothes; they were young, full of collagen, and looked good in anything.

Just after riding for one stop, Wu Qiuling felt like someone behind her was rubbing against her...

She didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just crowded, so she moved a bit to the side.

Fang Xiaoying, with her long hair and short skirt, asked curiously, "What's wrong, Qiuling?"

Wu Qiuling shook her head but said, "I feel like someone is... rubbing against me."

Rubbing? Fang Xiaoying widened her eyes and took a quiet look; behind Wu Qiuling was a young man in his twenties, looking quite refined and not at all like a creep.

"Maybe it was an accident, let's just move away a bit."

The two moved away slightly, but less than two minutes later, it was Fang Xiaoying's turn; she felt very clearly that a hand had snuck under her skirt.

Fang Xiaoying couldn't take it anymore, turned around, and said, "What are you doing?"

The young man behind her looked nonchalant and said, "What's the matter? What did I do?"

"You..."

Given Fang Xiaoying's temper, she would normally have started a fight, but with Wu Qiuling there and many people looking over, she had to hold back and move away.

The man with the "wandering hands" was named Guo Fang, and he had developed this habit at some point; whenever he saw pretty girls or those dressed boldly on subways or buses, he would always reach out.

It was the same today; as soon as he got on the train and saw the two, he became interested.

When Fang Xiaoying turned around to ask him, he wasn't afraid at all, because he had done this many times on public transport and no one ever challenged him.

Those girls were all concerned about their reputation.

Besides, even if they called the police, so what? He could just walk away; they couldn't possibly track him to his home.

Or at most, he'd be detained for a few days, what else could they do?

Looking at the two in front again, Guo Fang couldn't help but move closer, this time toward Wu Qiuling.

The two moved away again, but he kept crowding them; they kept moving, and he kept sticking to them.

During this, his body and arms kept touching them, and they really couldn't get away.

Fang Xiaoying had been watching his behavior, and seeing him move closer again, she said, "No, Qiuling, look, that creep is coming over again. What should we do now?"

Although they were called the company's "koi" by Zhou Yi, they had always been protected by big shots before; this was their first time encountering such a situation, so they were naturally at a loss.

Wu Qiuling hesitated; in the past, she would have preferred to avoid trouble, as she couldn't afford to deal with such a pervert, so she would have just hidden.

But after being influenced by Tenda Company, Wu Qiuling's personality had changed significantly.

The key was that they couldn't get away even if they wanted to; did they have to get off the train?

After thinking about it, she said, "Should we argue with him? It doesn't seem like it would work."

In fact, many people are extremely disgusted by such groping, but in recent years, due to the actions of various "internet activists," such incidents have been stigmatized.

Whether you say one rat ruins the whole pot or that online essays have ruined everything, the point is that many people don't want to speak up when they encounter such gropers now.

Coupled with many inexplicable online essays, some women feel like, "Are men supporting these gropers?"

That's a joke; do they support it? Definitely not, they strongly oppose it!

Many people just hate the online essays; a single paragraph with no evidence can destroy a person, and that situation is terrifying.

"Then should we call the police?"

As they were discussing, Fang Xiaoying felt that disgusting hand again, and this time she couldn't hold back.

The backing of Tenda gave her plenty of confidence, so she turned around and shouted, "Does it feel good to touch? Do you want me to take it off so you can touch more?"

This shout not only stunned Wu Qiuling, but even Guo Fang was a bit dumbfounded.

He had groped many times on buses and subways, but this was the first time he'd heard such a bold response, especially from such a pretty girl.

But being "experienced," he still looked nonchalant and said, "What's wrong with you? Who touched you? Are you sick?"

"You did it and you don't dare to admit it? There's surveillance here!" Fang Xiaoying pointed to the security camera nearby.

"So what if there's surveillance? Go check it then. You're accusing people of touching you for no reason, how shameless can you be? I could say you're slandering me!" Guo Fang said dismissively.

Others on the subway looked over and consciously cleared a small circle to let them argue inside.

Because it was so crowded, few people paid attention to such behavior, and since many people now hold the principle of avoiding trouble, few would stand up.

The reason why those who stand up to testify are reported on is precisely because it's rare.

This is a problem of lack of experience; if it were Mr. Zhou here, he would have recorded a video before arguing to slap him in the face on the spot!

Instead of talking about surveillance, especially on the subway, which isn't something an ordinary person can just go and check.

"I'm calling the police, just you wait!" Fang Xiaoying managed to say after a long time.

Guo Fang replied, "Go ahead."

He assessed the situation and decided to leave at the next stop.

If Zhou Yi were here, he wouldn't be unfamiliar with this situation, because Lawyer Fang had emphasized countless times that if a conflict occurs, one must be careful not to let the other party leave easily.

Why? For example, if you get into a dispute, the other person pushes you or punches you, you say you're calling the police, and then they just bolt.

When the police arrive, they just investigate and inquire.

As for checking surveillance and then finding the person, is it worth all that effort?

Let's just say, anyone who has ever lost a phone or an e-bike knows this is impossible...

If it doesn't meet the threshold for a criminal offense, the effort to bring someone in for detention and fines is, as you can imagine, impossible.

If it were really that easy, a certain handsome guy wouldn't have recharged a million yuan the moment he got his system.

Reality is reality, the law is the law; in the end, the law must be implemented by people.

Wu Qiuling was a bit anxious; she bit her lip, thought for a moment, and still dialed a phone number.

…………

At the Company, Huo Pengfei was receiving an Employee, a senior finance woman in her forties who came to consult because she discovered her husband was cheating and wanted a divorce.

But the thing is, it's hard to find evidence for cheating.

Install a Camera to record secretly? Break in directly by finding relatives and friends?

"Yin Dajie, don't be anxious yet, listen to me. You definitely can't do it this way, you know?" Huo Pengfei shook his head and said: "Doing this not only makes it hard to get evidence, but it might also get you yourself into trouble."

To put it in one sentence, doing this is a bit 'criminal'!

"But Lawyer Huo, if I don't do this, there's no other way. I read online that if you can't get evidence, even a divorce won't be approved," the finance woman opposite him said anxiously after hearing this.

"That heartless man, I've been married to him for so many years, and now he's actually going out to find a mistress. For so many years, I've been the one managing everything at home..."

Huo Pengfei hurriedly handed over a tissue and said: "Yin Dajie, don't be anxious. You just said your husband usually stays at a hotel with that mistress, so I have a suggestion for you."

"Next time your husband goes out, you can follow him first to see which hotel he goes to, and then you can go ask the front desk staff for the other party's room number."

"If they don't give it to you, take out your marriage certificate. If the other party registered the room, they would have an ID number. If you really don't want to do it yourself, spend some money to have someone check which room they are staying in."

"Then, once you know the room number, call the police and report that there is prostitution going on in that room under your real name!"

"Remember, no matter how the Police Station asks you later, you must stick to your story and say you believe your husband went to solicit prostitutes behind your back, understand?"

Huo Pengfei spoke eloquently there; a real-name report, and sticking to the story, the police would definitely come to investigate. Note that at this time, the police are allowed to break in.

Which problem is bigger, an affair or prostitution? The latter is definitely bigger, so the two of them will have to talk about the former, which will leave a record.

Furthermore, just take your own marriage certificate; that is the most ironclad evidence...

Although there would still be many problems in actual practice, Yin Dajie was already listening in a daze and indicated she would start the operation when she went back.

After seeing Yin Dajie off, someone else came in soon. Everyone knew Huo Pengfei was highly skilled, so he was quite busy here.

Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it displayed "Xiao Wu Koi".

Then... Huo Pengfei hesitated; he didn't know why Xiao Wu Guniang was calling.

After thinking about it, he answered.

"Hello..."

"Hello, Law... Lawyer Huo, we have a problem we want to consult you about, it's very urgent. We met a man on the subway who was secretly touching us..."

What? Huo Pengfei felt a jolt; he immediately wanted to ask where they were so he could rush over and use his own fists to teach the other party a lesson.

"Where are you, what's the situation now?"

"The other party said we can report it to the police if we want, and he looks like he wants to leave."

Secret touching on the subway—Huo Pengfei instantly began to mobilize his knowledge of Criminal Law. Don't ask why.

"The other party wants to leave, right? Do not let him leave. Who are you with?"

"I'm with Fang Xiaoying."

Uh... he didn't expect it was these two together. Huo Pengfei suddenly felt his heart grow hot!

"Call the police first, don't let him leave. If you can't stop him, take the initiative to argue with him. Don't curse, just reason with him there. If that doesn't work, go up and block him!"

"Be a bit bolder, let the other passengers watch you!"

After these few short sentences, Wu Qiuling hung up the phone, and Huo Pengfei couldn't sit still anymore.

If it were in the past, 'salty pig hands' on subways and buses were basically just Administrative Detention.

But starting two years ago, Modu had relevant cases where subway 'salty pig hands' were subject to Criminal Law!

There is a crime called Forcible Indecency and Insult, generally under five years, but if it is in a public place, it is over five years...

It's just that the judges in Modu made a general interpretation: because it was a public place, the victim could not resist due to shyness, and thus was continuously violated.

Therefore, they finally sentenced him to six months of Fixed-term Imprisonment.

Since Modu can sentence it, maybe Jingzhou can too!

Wu Qiuling hung up the phone and hurriedly told Fang Xiaoying. Fang Xiaoying had just dialed the police number, and upon hearing this, she stepped forward and shouted: "You wait, you touched us and now you want to leave, right?"

Guo Fang looked back: "I said I didn't. You people are really inexplicable."

"Whether you did or not, won't we know by checking the Monitoring? If you think I'm talking nonsense, so many people are watching. If I'm lying, you can make me pay however you want later!" Fang Xiaoying kept saying.

This time Guo Fang didn't say anything. The subway arrived at the station, and he walked out without hesitation.

According to the experience of seniors in the group, if the other party is bold and a dispute occurs, it is best to leave quickly.

But what Guo Fang didn't expect was that Fang Xiaoying and the other girl followed him down, running and chasing relentlessly.

This station was full of people after getting off; even if he wanted to run, he couldn't.

Moreover, Fang Xiaoying had already found the subway security guards and explained the situation, and several guards came over and surrounded him.

Guo Fang was still struggling, shouting: "What are you doing? This is illegal detention! You security guards have no law enforcement power. Do you believe I'll call the police?"

He had watched A Yi's videos before, and had also heard the lawyer named Fang Dazhuang explain that security guards have no law enforcement power!

That's right, this fellow was also one of Zhou Mouren's viewers...

Can someone who watches these videos every day still do such a thing?

Guess whether the fans of a certain police officer online who catches fans in fancy ways watch his videos? If they don't watch, how can they be called fans, right?

Some people were even watching the videos when they were being arrested...

As a result, just after he finished shouting, a voice emerged from the side: "What's the situation? Who wants to call the police?"

The person who arrived was precisely Lao Wan, a police officer from the Dafeng Street Police Station, along with his apprentice. They had rushed over after receiving the report.

During this period, the news in Jingzhou was very good, so everyone from top to bottom was determined to build a civilized city; therefore, such matters had to be handled.

As a result, they hadn't even gotten off the Elevator when they heard someone say they wanted to call the police.

They definitely had to pay attention. Lao Wan was already thinking about letting his apprentice go down first to stabilize the situation.

What the hell? Guo Fang was instantly dumbfounded. I was just shouting for fun...

He knew his own business best; if he were really caught by the police, it would just be a matter of them pulling the Monitoring.

Just then, Fang Xiaoying spoke up: "Officer, Officer, I want to report a crime. Oh no, wait, I already reported it. This man on the train forcibly committed Obscenity against the two of us."

Is it such a coincidence? Lao Wan looked over. Two pretty girls.

At this moment, Wu Qiuling suddenly had a flash of inspiration and instantly started wiping away tears: "Officer, the two of us tried to dodge several times but couldn't get away. So many people were watching..."

Fang Xiaoying: "..."

Guo Fang: "..."

"No, Officer, I didn't..."

"Shut up first!" Lao Wan said directly: "You are Fang Xiaoying, right?"

When responding to a call, one must confirm the reporter and verify their identity.

Fang Xiaoying nodded: "It's me. I was the one who just reported it."

Then there was no issue. Seeing more and more people gathering, Lao Wan said: "Alright, let's go check the Monitoring first."

Guo Fang's heart sank. Sigh, it looked like his first time was going to be broken.

But the guys in the group had also said that being in Detention was nothing; just endure it and you'll be out.

The Monitoring was very clear. The duration was nearly ten minutes. The two of them dodged from one carriage to another, and the other party still kept pressing up against them.

Seeing this situation, even Lao Wan was tongue-tied. Are young people nowadays this bold?

Doesn't he know this is illegal?

Immediately, the procedure began. They took Guo Fang back to the Police Station. That afternoon, Fang Xiaoying and her companion received the news.

Guo Fang was sentenced to 15 days of Administrative Detention and a fine of 5,000 yuan!

With things reaching this point, it was over. Guo Fang was a single young man, and it was just Administrative Detention; he had already prepared himself mentally for this.

Besides, after getting out, he could brag to the guys in the group that he had also been in Detention.

You cannot treat the mentality of such a person as a normal mentality.

After being pursued and rubbed against for so long, the end result was 15 days of Detention. You couldn't say anything because this was already the maximum Administrative Penalty. That Officer Wan was also very kind and even helped coordinate the Civil Compensation.

It was just that Guo Fang refused to agree at all.

Since he was going to be in Detention, the family had to be notified. Guo Fang's parents had already arrived at the Police Station and were understanding the situation.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaoying and her companion were waiting there for the result because Officer Wan said he would help coordinate.

While sitting at the Police Station, they suddenly saw a woman who looked about fifty years old, dressed very fashionably and smelling of perfume, rush over.

"You are the ones who reported it, right? It was just a touch, so what? Do you have to make such a big deal out of it? Do you have to have my son put in Detention?"

What the hell? Fang Xiaoying was so angry her chest almost exploded!

"Now you still plan to ask for money? Fine, you go tell the police to not put my son in Detention, then I will naturally give you money. Otherwise, you won't get a single cent!"

Said Li Caifeng, Guo Fang's mother.

Guo Fang's father was a businessman, and she was a full-time housewife, with Guo Fang as their only son.

Today, when she received the call saying her son was going to be in Detention for committing Obscenity against women, she was stunned.

But after reacting, her thought was... my son has grown up.

"No, Auntie, it was your son who committed Obscenity against us. You are a woman too, how can you be so unreasonable..."

"What Obscenity or not? Will a piece of meat fall off from being touched? If you want money, just say so!"

It wasn't that Li Caifeng was anything else; she knew the Notification Letter for Detention had already been issued and nothing could be done, so she just wanted to vent.

He was her only son, the apple of her eye, who had never suffered, and now he was suddenly going to be in Detention because of these two women. That was simply unacceptable!

Fang Xiaoying still intended to argue with the other party, but Wu Qiuling waved her hand and said: "Forget it, Xiaoying. There's no need to argue with such a person. Let's go."

Once they were out of the Police Station, Fang Xiaoying was truly getting angrier the more she thought about it.

"Qiuling, why don't we report this to the Company Legal Department and sue him for Tort? We can't just let it go like this!" Fang Xiaoying said there.

Wu Qiuling rubbed her brow and was just about to speak when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Huo Pengfei.

"Hello, Lawyer Huo, hello..."

"Yes, he has been caught. They said 15 days of Detention and a 5,000 yuan fine... Xiaoying and I are discussing whether we should file a Lawsuit for Tort."

It was the same old saying: if it doesn't involve a Criminal Case, the Public Security Bureau will issue an Administrative Penalty. But if you want the other party to pay compensation or something, all the Public Security Bureau can do is coordinate. If coordination fails, you can only file a Lawsuit yourself.

For others, they might just endure it, but for an Employee of Tengda, if they can file a Lawsuit, they absolutely won't let it slide!

"No Case Filing yet, right? That's normal. Currently, the Public Security Bureau is indeed very cautious about such situations. As for Civil Compensation, this definitely needs to be done, for mental distress and so on."

"But I have a suggestion. Have you ever thought about making the other party go to jail?"

What? The two girls were stunned there.

For this matter, can he still go to jail?
