My Dad Saved a Girl, Got Slandered, I Fought Back

My dad pulled a troubled young girl out of the river, and got smeared as a "creepy old man" for it. The girl's mother showed up with a crowd, blocking the entrance to my dad's workplace, demanding $600,000 in compensation. My mother broke down and begged me to admit fault and settle it quietly: "Your father can't afford this kind of shame." My dad's students cut all ties with him. The leaders at the design institute urged my dad to resign on his own.
