CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 148: THE POLICE ARE HERE

"It’s not anything, hurry up and get back. Xiao Ai, you really disappoint your uncle. Is this the kind of person you choose as a partner? What kind of quality is this? If anything happens at home in the future, don’t come to me. I don’t associate with such relatives," the glasses-wearing uncle pushed his glasses up, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Second uncle," Tong Li’s wife felt anxious. If her second uncle didn’t intervene in this matter, what would they do?

"Don’t call me," the glasses man impatiently shouted, annoyed. Because of this niece, he might get caught up in this.

"Today you smashed their shop, yesterday you injured their mother, and today you hurt their daughter. The money will definitely have to be compensated to them. Additionally, yesterday you overturned several cars, and the damages for that need to be covered as well. Furthermore, people like you shouldn’t remain at our hospital. We will have a meeting at the hospital; we won’t contract out the cafeteria window anymore, and you’ll be refunded every penny you’re owed."

Actually, the hospital bears some responsibility in this matter. For a little profit, we gave in to gossip and implemented this contracting policy. Now look what a huge problem it has caused. Yesterday, we wanted to make this a big deal, to muddle through this thing, but unexpectedly, they didn’t give up and started causing trouble again.

It was negligence on our part; we should have given them a lesson yesterday. We wouldn’t have today’s situation otherwise.

The dean hadn’t finished his words when a police car suddenly showed up outside with sirens blaring.

The dean felt a chill in his heart, there’s no way to hide now. This will surely escalate to higher authorities.

Thinking of this, the dean cast another resentful look at the glasses man.

"Who just called the police?" Three uniformed police officers entered, and everyone suddenly became serious.

"It was me, it was me," Grandma Wang ran out from the kitchen, feeling apprehensive upon seeing the police.

"What happened? Explain,"

"She... she... smashed our shop," Grandma Wang stammered, pointing at several people, clearly nervous.

"Officer, I asked Grandma Wang to call the police. Here’s what happened..." Lin Wan quickly and orderly explained the events to the two officers.

The police officers looked around at the shop, and then at the nearby people.

One of them noticed the dean of the hospital was present, even more surprised, "Dean Wang, has this matter troubled you as well?"

The dean forced a smile and shook his head, "It’s embarrassing... this matter..."

Before he could finish, the police officer keenly asked, "Oh...? Is there more to it?"

"No..." Of course, the dean didn’t want this matter going public. If it got to the higher-ups, he wouldn’t be removed, but it would definitely mean major disciplinary action.

It would greatly affect his future.

"Officer, we need to report this as well, it’s related to us," said the merchants whose stalls had been overturned, stepping forward.

The dean had just mentioned that Tong Li’s family should compensate them, and now that the police were here, they certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

Several people surrounded the police, giving a detailed account of yesterday’s events to the two officers.

"Xiao Yang, make an inventory of the items in the shop,"

"Yes,"

"Alright, I understand everything now, but I need you all to come with me to the police station to give a statement. We also need to visit the hospital community, to confirm if what you said yesterday is true. After determining guilt, we will notify everyone."

The leading officer asked Xiao Yang to finish inventorying the items in Lin Wan’s shop and then took the people who reported it to the police station to make a record.

Then he, along with another officer, inquired about today’s events, questioned several community members, and afterward visited the hospital to investigate, eventually going to get a statement from Tong Li.
