Before the police could say anything, a parent who had just opened the door spoke up: "It's only 760,000 yuan, right? We can afford it, but you have to apologize to our child first. Why did you bring him to the police station in the middle of the night? Don't you know our child is timid? What if he gets scared?"
Seeing her parents coming, the girl in yellow clothes became even more arrogant: "No, you must apologize to my brother first, and then return the role to my brother."
The police officer's headache intensified when they saw the parents coming in. Was this their attitude to resolve the conflict? Was it to increase their workload?
The police officer then said, "I think they are quite brave. I have already explained the whole story to you. Don't try to make trouble for me. This is a police station."
"Hey, comrade police officer, you can't be biased towards him just because he's a celebrity. You are a good servant of the people, you have to stand on our side."
"Well, please don't flatter us. We only stand on the side of justice. Your child was wrong in the first place. Mr. Tao didn't intend to hold you accountable. A sincere apology and compensation for the damages will be better for everyone."
"That's not possible. It's not about money. We have plenty of money, but he should apologize for what he did to my daughter."
Tao Yuche was actually amused. This was the first time he had seen such an unreasonable person. He glanced at the policeman and said jokingly, "Okay, this guy is rich."
Police: ...Well, it seems that this cannot be resolved peacefully.
"Then you two can decide how to resolve it."
Before Tao Yuche could say anything, the parent of the girl in yellow clothes spoke first: "I don't have much to say. We are all civilized people. We can compensate him for the coat, but he should also apologize for scaring my child. And as for the role-stealing, it's wrong to steal other people's things. My children know this. Isn't it normal for them to apologize and return the things they should? Don't you agree, Mr. Policeman?"
Police: ...If he wasn't wearing a police uniform, he would have wanted to fight back and even tease him. Why was he teasing him?
The policeman looked at Tao Yuche with a smile: "Mr. Tao, what do you think?"
Tao Yuche smiled: "Wait a moment."
Just as the person opposite was beginning to get impatient, the door was knocked again, and a tall, delicate and capable woman came in. The woman first said to Tao Yuche, "Young Master."
"Well, I've sent you everything that happened. I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, Master."
The woman then greeted the police and said, "Hello, I am Mr. Tao Yuche's lawyer. My last name is Tang."
Then he put his computer on the table, opened the file bag in his hand, handed one to the police and the others to several parents opposite, and then spoke.
"First, these are your children's online communications about how to encircle and retaliate against my client today. Three times, they mentioned that if this attempt failed, they would throw concentrated sulfuric acid next time. Then, they posted online slanderous and defamatory comments about my client."
"You're talking nonsense, we're telling the truth."
Lawyer Tang ignored the objections and continued:
"Turn over to the next page and you'll see the signature page of the contract between my client and the crew. Before my client signed, the crew hadn't signed any contracts with any actors. The director's signature is here, and their contact information is below. You can verify this at any time."
"Okay, now that you're done, you can watch the video on my computer. I pulled it from a nearby surveillance camera."
The video was exactly the scene where Tao Yuche was surrounded tonight.
After everyone watched it once, Lawyer Tang turned the video back and played it repeatedly for a while, and finally pressed pause. Everyone clearly saw that the bottle that hit Tao Yuche's forehead was thrown by the girl in yellow.
Then Lawyer Tang took out a bottle in a plastic bag from his bag and used it to attack Tao Yuche.
There were actually several sharp stones in the bottle. The purpose of the girl in yellow using this to attack Tao Yuche was self-evident.
The evidence was there, and the parents of the girl in yellow, who had been so arrogant just now, also realized the seriousness of the matter. They immediately stopped pretending to be confused and did a complete 180-degree turn.
He turned around and slapped the girl in yellow, then said to Tao Yuche, "Mr. Tao, this child is young and naive. She doesn't know the severity of the situation. I'll ask her to apologize to you right away. Just tell me the account number and the money for the coat will be deposited immediately."
The police were startled by the slap and quickly pulled the stunned girl in yellow behind them and lectured her: "Children who have done wrong should be educated and corrected, but your attitude is not the right one. You must know that violence cannot solve the problem."
The yellow-dressed parent apologized profusely, then yelled at the girl, "What are you standing there for? Come over here and apologize to Mr. Tao."
The girl in yellow was obviously very reluctant, but she still walked from behind the policeman to in front of Tao Yuche.
However, just as the girl in yellow was about to bow, Lawyer Tang said, "Don't apologize yet. I have something else to show you."
Hearing what Lawyer Tang said, the girl in yellow's eyes flashed with panic, and then she hurriedly said, "Don't look anymore. I know I was wrong. I apologize right away."
Lawyer Tang ignored the girl in yellow and opened another file, which contained photos and videos, all of which proved that the girl in yellow had started following Tao Yuche a month ago.
Because the girl was far away and was recording the video with her mobile phone, Tao Yuche never noticed her.
Lawyer Tang looked at the shocked crowd and asked the girl in yellow, "So, may I ask why you started stalking my client a month ago?"
The girl in yellow looked at the photos and videos of herself on the computer, and opened her mouth several times to defend herself, but she couldn't find a good reason.
Just when everyone thought that Lawyer Tang would press on, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "Okay, now that everyone knows the truth, let's talk about compensation this time."
Police/Crowd: ...Is the truth clear now? Why does it feel so complicated?
"You already know about the 760,000 yuan coat my client wore. If you don't believe me, you can check the Ming G Studio website. Each piece of his clothing is unique, and the purchaser's information is registered on the website. Of course, this price is much lower than the official website, not because it's fake, but because my client and the designer are relatives."
"Then let's discuss the biggest loss this incident has caused my client. As you all know, my client is a famous actor, so her reputation and dignity are very important to her. This is the assessment of the losses caused to my client by the professional assessment team I hired. If you have any objections, you can also find a third party for a reassessment. Of course, we also reserve the right to object to your assessment results."
