Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Rejection (1540+) _1

Director Li spoke as such, which is human nature; many people think that way!

Chief Engineer Sun smiled and said, "If it were someone else, I couldn’t be so certain, but since it’s Huo Yingjie, I believe him. Although this young man hasn’t been at the research institute for very long, and he isn’t very old, his mentality and self-control are on par with a mature and stable middle-aged man."

"Really?" Director Li and Chief Engineer Sun were good friends. Hearing this, he began to see things differently.

"Yes, that is a child who values affection and righteousness, very steady, he wouldn’t do such a thing. Moreover, he has a woman he deeply loves and has already kept his distance from Zhou Yuanyuan. Lastly, Huo Yingjie had worked non-stop for a whole day and night, returning to his dormitory at eight o’clock last night. Would a normal person be so vigorous?" Chief Engineer Sun said, defending Yingjie as a good young man; he wouldn’t allow others to slander Yingjie.

"Oh, then I will pay more attention to this later," Director Li said, "Usually after a woman has intercourse, it can be detected."

Thinking that the other party was a woman, Director Li brought along a female doctor and a nurse.

It was necessary to perform a physical examination when needed.

Just as Director Liu arrived at the office, Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanyuan hadn’t even sat down when the security department from the political office had already sent someone.

Chief Engineer Sun, Director Li, the female doctor, and the female nurse also arrived.

"Huo Yingjie, how do you explain this matter?" Director Liu asked. Now that everyone had arrived, they could begin!

Huo Yingjie said righteously, "I was so tired, I slept very soundly, very soundly, and didn’t know someone had come in during the night. It wasn’t until Zhou Yuanchao returned the next morning that I found out."

Zhou Yuanyuan kept her head down with a smile on her lips, but the moment she raised her head, her face turned bitter, and she choked up, "Brother Yingjie, how can you say that? It was clearly you who invited me over. Now you’re vehemently denying it. How am I supposed to face anyone? Are you trying to drive me to death?"

Huo Yingjie clenched his fists in anger. How could there be such a shameless woman?

"I have been busy with work all day, I didn’t invite you! Stop talking nonsense. I, Huo Yingjie, act with integrity and haven’t touched you in the slightest," Huo Yingjie said coldly, "You are infatuated with me, and I have already rejected you. A woman like you only disgusts me. Seeing your shameless face makes me sick—I wouldn’t feel any desire whatsoever!"

"You... you..." Zhou Yuanyuan said in distress and despair, undoing a button at the top of her blouse, pointing to a mark, "Anyway, you took me yesterday; this is the evidence!"

Seeing the marks that resembled kiss bruises, Huo Yingjie stepped forward two paces, raised his hand, and gave Zhou Yuanyuan two fierce slaps, cursing, "Just making a few purple marks, you say I raped you? Do you think I’m an easy target? Who knows if those are self-inflicted or if they were made while fooling around with some scoundrel? You’re a doctor yourself; have you lost your mind? Even if you don’t know the criteria for determining rape, you should know how to distinguish its symptoms. Now that the security department is here, I formally report you for slandering my integrity. I ask the organization to investigate thoroughly and restore my reputation!"

"You can’t hit it and quit it, you took advantage of my body, and still..." Zhou Yuanyuan, panicked and in disarray, covered her face where Huo Yingjie had slapped her but continued to stick to her previous assertion.

Seeing Huo Yingjie hit someone, the security personnel hastened to intervene.

Huo Yingjie was furious, and although his arms were restrained, he could still speak, and he lashed out, "My taking off or pulling up my pants has nothing to do with you. If men had hymens, mine would definitely still be intact. As for whether such a promiscuous woman like you is still intact, I’ve no idea, but whether there was sexual activity can be determined by a doctor’s examination. If you dare, let the doctor check! I’ll cooperate with the examination; go to my nest, and if you can find even a single sperm of mine, I’ll take the blame for raping you!"

Zhou Yuanyuan now noticed that many people had arrived outside, among them Director Li from the hospital, a doctor, and nurses.

Among the other three stern-faced individuals, probably the security staff from the political office!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Yuanyuan’s face turned pale.

She knew very well that nothing had happened the previous night, and that the marks on her body were self-inflicted that morning. She could perhaps deceive Director Liu, but not the doctors.

"I... I..." Zhou Yuanyuan stuttered, no longer as assertive as before.

Director Liu could tell that Zhou Yuanyuan had run out of things to say.

"Now that everyone is present, if you insist that there was something more than revolutionary friendship between you and Huo Yingjie, we can organize a medical examination for you and Huo Yingjie right now, to prove whether what you’re saying is true," said a comrade from the security department. They had been investigating Zhou Yuanyuan’s case and were prepared to have results in the next few days. Now, Zhou Yuanyuan’s actions had seriously affected the work of the institute.

Zhou Yuanyuan hurriedly buttoned up her clothes, hugged her arms, and hung her head without speaking.

"If you refuse to voice your opinion, we will proceed with the physical examination based on what you said before," continued the security department personnel. Even a fool could see that Zhou Yuanyuan was framing Huo Yingjie.

"Don’t, don’t," Zhou Yuanyuan did not want to be examined in such a private manner, partly out of shyness, and partly because she was lying. An examination would reveal the truth and prove that she was framing Huo Yingjie.

But if she admitted it, would all her humiliation today be wasted?

No, even if she couldn’t make Huo Yingjie hers in the institute, she could still create opportunities outside.

"I... I didn’t do anything beyond revolutionary friendship with Huo Yingjie," Zhou Yuanyuan said through clenched teeth, her heart filled with anger.

Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian, I’ve never been so humiliated as I am today!

I’ll pay back today’s humiliation a hundredfold in the future!

If she can’t have Huo Yingjie, she’ll destroy him herself and won’t let any other woman have him!

Huo Yingjie saw that Zhou Yuanyuan had stopped spouting nonsense and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it!

This woman is a madwoman!

"What’s your explanation for today’s events then?" the security personnel continued, taking notes on the side.

Zhou Yuanyuan said sorrowfully, without any expression, "It’s just that I like Huo Yingjie, but Huo Yingjie doesn’t like me. Because of my yearning, I climbed the wall, entered through his window, and watched him sleep. I inadvertently fell asleep myself, indeed, nothing happened."

"Do you realize that what you did violates the discipline?" asked the staff member.

"Is it wrong to love Huo Yingjie?" Zhou Yuanyuan retorted, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Zhou Yuanyuan’s tearful appearance didn’t make Huo Yingjie feel sympathetic; instead, he felt more disgusted.

"I don’t like you, what’s wrong with that!" Huo Yingjie said impatiently, "I’ve told you many times, I have someone I like, and it’s impossible between us. Your stubbornness only harms others and yourself in the end."

"I’m just... just..." Zhou Yuanyuan was too heartbroken to continue, covering her face and crying incessantly.
