Chapter 530 Fabricated Stories
Mengyu tried hard to recall what she had said in the County Women’s Federation office.
“Comrades of the Women’s Federation leadership, I want to report a case. This afternoon, Jiang Haidong from Xiayao Village of Jiangzhou Brigade, Damiang Town, Xiangyang County, recruited dozens of young girls for a friend to take to the Coastal Area. Their recruitment was merely surface-level, in reality, the so-called friend Jiang Haidong knew is Lao San, the fugitive leader of the human traffickers’ den that was raided last time by the Public Security officers and soldiers.”
Furthermore, what she said at Vice County Magistrate Wen’s office: “I know Jiang Haidong who recruits female workers. He is merely a man who toils in the fields; it’s impossible for him to know any boss. The person he knows is just a leader in the Human Trafficking Group, and his code is Lao San. He is very likely serving Lao San, deceiving those girls to go to the Coastal Area and then selling them off.”
Thus, she definitely did not reveal Wang Huilan’s name.
She didn’t slip up; if those girls had no memory of being trafficked together with Huilan, then who leaked the secret?
Moreover, if someone in that vehicle wanted to spread the word, it would most likely be about Huilan being raped by Ah Sheng in the vehicle.
Yet that crucial issue wasn’t mentioned. This means, the talk about Huilan didn’t come from those people.
Looking at the woman who was fervently slandering Huilan, Mengyu suddenly realized something—Huilan and Ah Mei left together, and Huilan’s father had even asked Huilan to take care of Ah Mei.
So, there was no leak at all; this was all just fabricated by this woman, then spread as fact, aiming to tarnish Huilan—her daughter died, and she couldn’t bear to see Huilan being well.
Seeing Huilan’s despair and sorrow as her father wanted her dead, Mengyu shouted sharply:
“Shut up!”
With Mengyu’s shout, all noises ceased, and everyone stared at her in astonishment.
Mengyu addressed the crowd outside the door: “What do you really know about Huilan’s situation? Saying Huilan pushed her sister in the way to block a knife, did you witness that yourself?”
The people looked at each other: what they knew, they had heard. Who actually saw it?
Mengyu raised her voice: “A week ago, Huilan called me from the village asking if it was worth following Jiang Haidong to the coastal city to work. I told her absolutely not to go! So, she didn’t go with Jiang Haidong at all.”
The crowd was dumbfounded. Huilan didn’t go with Jiang Haidong?
An old lady looked at Mengyu and asked: “Are you sure? Huilan didn’t go with Jiang Haidong?”
Jiang Mengyu confidently said, “Of course, Huilan listened to my advice, didn’t want to leave her hometown, and naturally did not go with Jiang Haidong.”
She swept her eyes over everyone: “That’s why Huilan got off the bus when it reached the county and came to my place. From that day on, Huilan has been with me. Just now, someone slandered her, saying the human traffickers captured Wang Huilan as a hostage, Ah Mei went to save her, yet she pushed Ah Mei to block the knife.”
“Tell me, how could Huilan, being by my side, suddenly fly to where the human traffickers were, and even be captured as a hostage by the traffickers?
And how could she have pushed Ah Mei to block the knife?”
Mengyu dared to say Huilan got off the bus at the county because their bus indeed stopped there, and many people got off to shop. Huilan also got off to buy some motion sickness medicine.
The crowd looked at each other perplexedly, if Huilan really got off the bus at the county and stayed with this girl, how could it be possible that she was captured as a hostage by the human traffickers when the military stopped the vehicle in another province?
“That’s impossible!” The woman immediately attempted to attack Huilan again: “You clearly promised to take care of Ah Mei, since you got off the bus, why didn’t you pull Ah Mei off with you, huh?”
