Jiang Long sighed helplessly when he heard Su Jin’s words. If the victims wouldn’t come forward to testify, there was no way to bring these people to justice. Once the matter blew over, they would immediately take revenge on the girls, even killing them. Jiang Long said helplessly,

“If these girls don’t come forward, then the outcome of this matter will not be what you want. These people have very strong backing, especially this person!”

Jiang Long pointed at a photo of Director Wang as he spoke. This person was no simpleton. If there was no direct evidence, nothing would happen to him. He would not receive any serious punishment; there would at most be a warning. Jiang Long continued,

“Do you know who his backer is?”

Su Jin shook her head. How would she know? Even if he had a backer, could that person be more powerful than the president? Someone powerful enough to protect him? Jiang Long’s face was livid. He gritted his teeth and wished that he could kill these animals right away. But there was nothing he could do. Jiang Long continued helplessly,

“He is the first lady’s cousin and the Director of Public Security Bureau here! He has the strongest backer among these people!”

Su Jin kept quiet when she heard this. She had beaten up this animal not long ago in self-defense. Su Jin took a deep breath and looked at her uncle with an icy expression. Su Jin was very unwilling to accept this. They clearly had evidence, yet they couldn’t do anything? Su Jin said coldly,

“Uncle, is there any way to capture all these b*stards without having these girls come forward?”

Jiang Long understood Su Jin’s intent but there was no other way at the moment. These people’s backers were too strong, and he was only a mayor. There was anger and a trace of helplessness in Jiang Long’s eyes. He also wanted to send these animals back to hell.

“There’s only one way now. Get the victims to come forward and accuse these people by their real names, and then publicly take them to court. Given these people’s power and backers, they won’t be afraid of anonymous accusations. These photos also mean nothing.”

Su Jin clenched her fists when she heard this. How did the world become like this? Demons were holding public office and they couldn’t be sent back to hell even with evidence? Should we just let them hurt people? Su Jin said to her uncle grudgingly,

“Don’t tell me we have to watch these demons destroy the flowers of our motherland? Must we let the victims relive their nightmares?”

Jiang Long sighed helplessly when he heard this. He didn’t want to do this either, but there was no other way. If these girls didn’t come forward to testify against these animals, they could only watch them get away with it and hurt other girls. Jiang Long reiterated,

“If we want to send these demons back to hell, the victims have to come forward and testify!”

Su Jin knew that her uncle was right. This was currently the only way but it was very unfair to the girls. After they came forward, they’d be exposed and probably couldn’t live normal lives afterward. It would be very difficult for them to get married in future as no one would accept them. Su Jin said agonizingly,

“But, if these girls came forward, would they be able to withstand the judgmental stares? If these people spend money to steer the court of public opinion, the public will think that these girls were willing!”

Jiang Long also sympathized with the victims but they were in a bind and he didn’t have a better idea. The only thing they could do was to get Su Jin to persuade the victims to come forward. Jiang Long patted Su Jin on the shoulder and said,

“Uncle also knows that these girls are in very difficult positions. But if they don’t come forward, they will be controlled by these demons forever. Why don’t you approach these girls and ask if they are willing to come forward?”

Su Jin nodded, her face filled with disappointment. This was the only way now. After what happened today, those animals would be on guard. These girls would also wish that they didn’t have to come forward, so she had to think of other solutions. Su Jin looked at her uncle disappointedly as she replied,

“I understand. I’ll go back and have a think. I’ll see if there is any other way to send these demons to hell. This matter cannot end like this. I’m not giving up, Uncle. I’ll take my leave now.”
