Ye Wan grabbed his arm, preventing him from escaping. "Don't go. I'm calling the police now. We'll see the surveillance footage when they arrive!"
"Are you crazy? Let go, or I'll hit you!" the middle-aged man threatened fiercely.
Ye Wan took out her phone to call the police. Just then, the bus arrived and stopped. Many passengers shouted at the driver to open the doors quickly, afraid of being delayed.
"Don't open the doors, or he'll get away!" Ye Wan shouted at the driver while waiting for the call to connect.
But no one listened. The driver still opened the doors. Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly pushed Ye Wan away and, in two steps, got off the bus and fled with the crowd.
The emergency call had been connected, but the lecher who had molested her had already quickly left. Ye Wan could only get off the bus, anxiously trying to follow. However, there were too many people at that moment, and the scoundrel quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Ye Wan was so angry she wanted to cry. The police were still asking questions, so she could only answer them and explain what had just happened.
After listening, the police said they would investigate, but if the person had already escaped, it would be difficult to find him. They asked her to leave her contact information and promised to call her if there was any news.
After leaving her ID number and phone number, the bus had already driven away. Ye Wan stood in front of the bus stop, feeling somewhat lost. The tears she had held back for so long could no longer be contained and streamed down. She turned and walked to the seat behind her, tears flowing incessantly, drawing the attention of those around her. A kind person handed her a tissue, which Ye Wan took gratefully.
She didn't know how long she cried, until the bus stop went from crowded to empty. Until someone stood in front of her, blocking her view. Ye Wan looked up and saw... Gu Yun Ting.
Gu Yun Ting was looking at her with a frown. Ye Wan quickly wiped away the tears from her face, sniffled hard, and stood up, confused as to why he was there.
"You... why are you here?" Ye Wan looked at the man in front of her.
Gu Yun Ting ignored her question, took her arm, and led her into the car. As the car pulled away from the bus stop, Gu Yun Ting irritably loosened his tie and threw several tissues at her. "Wipe yourself clean. You're filthy."
Ye Wan felt a bit better after crying, but her heart was still heavy. She took the tissues and wiped her face.
"What happened? Why are you crying like this?" Gu Yun Ting frowned, looking at her.
Hearing his question, Ye Wan felt like crying again. She couldn't talk about her brother's situation, so she recounted the disgusting incident on the bus. She choked out, "That scumbag was molesting me, but no one was willing to help me at the time. I couldn't hold him back alone, and he got away."
Gu Yun Ting's chest seethed with anger upon hearing this. "You're truly incompetent! Can't even catch a piece of trash! Don't tell anyone you're from the Gu residence; it's embarrassing!"
Ye Wan, already feeling incredibly wronged, started crying uncontrollably again upon hearing his words. "I know I'm stupid! I can't catch bad guys, and I can't save good people!"
Gu Yun Ting was speechless.
Looking at the little girl crying miserably beside him, he wanted to explain that he didn't mean it that way and that he was just too angry. But Ye Wan had already turned away, ignoring him.
Gu Yun Ting picked up his phone and called the director of the Public Security Bureau, ordering him to ensure the lecher was caught and imprisoned. He warned that if the person couldn't be found, the director shouldn't bother keeping his position.
Ye Wan felt a little better hearing him on the phone, but the matter of her brother's bone marrow matching still weighed on her like a mountain, making it hard to breathe.
