Jiang Yilai has been a lawyer for many years, and this is the kind of case she fears most.

It wasn't difficult at all; she had an absolute chance of winning.

But she didn't want that to happen; she'd rather it not happen than let these people lose their children.

Seeing that the mother was emotionally unstable, Jiang Yilai could only turn to look at the man.

"You should communicate with me about the specifics. Wasn't the child with an adult at the time? And how was the supermarket accused of theft?"

Only by understanding the entire process can we plan for what comes next.

The man choked up as he said, "My son has been very independent since he was little. After starting elementary school, he would often go shopping by himself. The day before yesterday, on the weekend, my husband and I were cooking lunch and we ran out of soy sauce. He volunteered to go buy it himself."

Such a sensible child reminded Jiang Yilai of Jiang Wenchao, who also helped out at a young age and would take the initiative to buy small items when the family was missing something.

When you empathize with someone who has experienced something similar, you feel even more depressed.

Jiang Yilai nodded and asked again, "Go on."

“We waited for half an hour and he didn’t come back. We thought he was playing in the neighborhood. I went to look for him after dinner was ready.”

At this point, the man paused for a moment, his emotions rising, and he continued to recount the events through gritted teeth.

"I saw a lot of people gathered at the supermarket entrance, and some supermarket staff were saying that this was an example to warn others. I didn't take it seriously at first, until I heard a familiar crying sound and ran up to find that it was my child."

The man slammed his fist on the table as he stood up, angrily saying, "They put a thief sign around my son's neck and scolded him severely."

Jiang Yilai was infected by his anger, which was incredibly infuriating for a parent.

“I rushed up to the staff member and hit him, and took off the name tag from my son’s neck. I didn’t expect that the security guards would rush out and argue with me, and even hit me.”

Jiang Yilai sighed. This was no longer a simple dispute, but rather a violent act suspected of being illegal.

Did any supermarket management come forward?

“It was a huge commotion at the time. I called the police and then the other party’s leader came out. They retrieved the surveillance footage and saw that it was indeed my son who took the items without paying at the beginning, but it was very clear that he was pushed out.”

The man showed her the surveillance footage he had recorded at the time and explained it to her.

"According to my son, there were too many people at the cashier. He was pushed out of the queue and tried to go back to the queue, but he was pushed out of the queue again."

Jiang Yilai saw in the surveillance footage that the child was holding money in his hand and tried to turn around several times. Because it was the weekend and the midday rush hour, there were so many people.

Jiang Yilai saw the child hesitate for a moment before walking to the entrance, seemingly preparing to go in, but was grabbed and pulled in by the security guard at the door.

“After they caught my son, they insisted that he was a thief. How could a little kid like him defend himself under their vicious attitude?”

The man lost control of his emotions several times, which even infuriated Jiang Yilai, let alone the person involved.

Moreover, the child is still in such a terrible state; no one could bear to see that.

Jiang Yilai immediately stated, "Don't worry, I will take on this case and make everyone involved pay the price."

Jiang Yilai knew very well that if these people were not severely punished, they would only become more rampant in the future.
