Chapter 485 The Thief Cries Thief
What's more, they wanted to take action against the two people in the first place to create a deterrent effect, hoping that they would be scared so that they would continue to rent the house.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to scare the other person, he was beaten himself.
Someone reacted quickly and shouted, "You're assaulting someone. I'm going to the police station to report you."
"Yes, go report it. We have more people, and the police will definitely believe us."
Before taking action, Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting had already thought about the possibility that this matter might alert the police.
However, the police also have to be reasonable. It is not the case that the side with more people is right. After all, there are only two of them, while the other side has more than a dozen men and women.
If you say that the two of them beat up a large group of people, I guess no one would believe it.
At this time, someone had already run out to the police station to report the case. Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were not in a hurry to leave. Tan Chen found two chairs from somewhere and sat there with Shang Ruoting waiting.
Not long after, the person who ran out to report the case came back panting with two police officers.
The reporter pointed at Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen and said, "Comrades, they are the ones who beat people for no reason."
The two police officers scanned the yard and walked up to Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.
The younger police officer asked.
"Did you two hit someone?"
Without waiting for Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen to answer, those who had been beaten by the two of them rushed over.
"Comrade Public Security, they are the ones who beat me up. My arm still hurts."
"Mine too. This gay man kicked me in the leg."
The young police officer frowned as he looked at those people. He roughly counted them and found that there were at least some people, both men and women.
"You were all beaten?"
This is obviously a question. There are so many of you, and you were beaten by two people. Who would believe it?
Especially since one of those two people is a weak-looking female comrade, it is even more impossible for her to defeat so many people.
Since these people didn't tell the truth, the young policeman was too lazy to ask them and started questioning Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.
"Now tell me, what's going on?"
Tan Chen stood up calmly and said, "Comrade Public Security, I bought this yard today and wanted to come over and tidy it up."
He then pointed at the tenants and said, "These people were hired by the previous landlord. Now they refuse to move out, so they're attacking my husband and me."
The young police officer nodded and said, "Well, the house is yours, you have the right to evict them."
The young police officer thought this was a matter of course.
Especially when it comes to the beating incident, the young police officer firmly believed that it must be the tenants who attacked the young couple. Looking at the messy items piled on the ground, there were signs of a fight.
However, since the young couple didn't seem to be injured, it would be difficult to deal with so many people if we took them back to the police station.
In this case, it would be better to scold the tenants on the spot and ask them to move out as soon as possible and give the house to others, so that the matter can be resolved.
"How dare you, a group of you, bully two people?
You have one day to move out of this yard and stop being such a scoundrel."
The tenants asked the police to come and make the decision for them, but they were the ones who were scolded in the end, so they were naturally unwilling to accept it.
"Comrade, are we just going to let the beating we just received go?"
The young police officer's face darkened instantly when he heard this. He hadn't wanted to talk about this matter in the first place, but these people were still rushing to make trouble.
"Do you take me for a fool? There are only two of them, including a skinny female comrade. How can they beat a group of you? I think this is just the thief crying thief."
The tenants wanted to argue, but the young policeman was already impatient. He took out the pen and paper he had brought with him, prepared to take notes and then go back.
When Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen gave their names, the older police officer who had been standing there without saying anything came over.
"You said your name is Shang Ruoting?"
Shang Ruoting was a little confused when she was suddenly asked this question.
"Comrade Public Security, do we know each other?"
The older police officer laughed heartily and introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Younian. You may not recognize my name, but you should be familiar with Zhang Xiaohong, right?"
"Who are you?" Shang Ruoting already had some guesses in her mind.
"Hahaha... Zhang Xiaohong is my daughter. You saved her when she fell into the water in Sihe Village. I also heard that you two are now classmates at Peking University.
I was thinking of asking Xiaohong to treat you guys to a meal at home this weekend, but I didn’t expect that we would meet like this!
It turned out to be Zhang Xiaohong's father. Shang Ruoting had guessed it right.
Seeing that it was her classmate's father, Shang Ruoting didn't address him as "comrade police officer" but instead called out, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Younian laughed again: "Okay, okay, she is indeed a good girl. Our Xiaohong has been spoiled since she was a child. You must be more tolerant of her in the future."
