Seeing Claude like this, Cheng Hao almost immediately understood why he hit someone, and was both angry and amused at the same time.
He knew that Claude treasured his glasses, but beating up several kids for a pair of glasses was a bit too much.
"Claude, are you crazy? Just for a pair of glasses!" Old George also came in. When he heard what Claude said, he became angry and started cursing immediately.
Claude cried even harder, his hands tightly clutching the frame of a pair of glasses that had no lenses on them.
It's really ugly for a grown man to cry like this...
Old George looked as if his eyes were irritated, and the corners of the policemen's mouths twitched.
Seth always went to Old George's bar to fight boxing. He had seen Claude brought to the bar by Old George, but he had never seen Claude like this. He was speechless.
Cheng Hao, under Old George, was very steady and reliable, but the other one turned out to be like this...
"Claude, do you know how much trouble you've caused me?" Old George shouted angrily.
"They broke my glasses..." Claude cried.
After Claude finished speaking, several parents crowded in. A black woman screamed, "A pair of glasses! Just because of a pair of glasses! You almost beat my child to death! You monster!"
"Bastard!" A man rushed over and tried to hit Claude.
Cheng Hao stopped him: "Sir, calm down!"
Cheng Hao also knew that Claude was wrong this time, but he could also understand why Claude did it.
Claude's mind is that of a child.
Young children will definitely fight back if someone breaks their toys.
If he was really a child, there would be nothing wrong with him hitting others, as he could not hurt others. But the key point is that Claude is not an ordinary child. He is an adult, and an adult who is born with great strength.
"This bastard hurt my son, and you still want me to calm down?" The grown man punched Cheng Hao, and that would have been fine, but with his other hand, he actually grabbed the glasses in Claude's hand.
"Damn glasses!" He grabbed the glasses with broken lenses, snatched them from Claude's hand, threw them directly to the ground, and wanted to step on them.
Cheng Hao had a bad feeling, and he immediately grabbed the man's arm to prevent him from stepping on the glasses.
He certainly didn't step on the glasses.
But it was too late.
Claude suddenly exploded, jumped up and punched the man.
This is just an ordinary man, he can't withstand Claude's punch at all!
Cheng Hao quickly tried to stop Claude. In the small room, he and Claude exchanged many moves.
Seeing this, Old George had already hidden in the corner. The police and parents who squeezed in had no idea how to hide. Some parents even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to hit Cheng Hao and Claude...
They obviously didn't get away with it, as Cheng Hao and Claude accidentally punched them and injured them all.
Claude was much stronger than Cheng Hao, but luckily he was like a child holding a big knife. Although he had a sharp weapon that could hurt people, he didn't know how to use it. After his fists hit nothing, his body would even fall forward...
Cheng Hao kicked Claude's leg, causing him to fall flat on his face. He then pinned him down and subdued him. At this point, several people around them had already been affected by the fight, and they could only cry and wail in pain.
Claude was knocked down and started crying too.
It's an absolute mess.
Cheng Hao thought for a moment and looked at the policeman who had already drawn his gun: "I think we need to talk."
The police looked at each other and agreed to Cheng Hao's request.
The parents of those children were driven outside, but Cheng Hao, Old George, Arabella and the police stayed behind because they needed to talk.
"What's the situation now? Will Claude be prosecuted?" Cheng Hao asked.
Seth said, "This is not our decision, but we sincerely suggest that you send him to prison. He is too dangerous."
Hearing Seth's words, Claude shouted, "No, please!"
"What's going on?" Cheng Hao asked. He felt that Seth had something else to say.
Seth said, "This isn't the first time he's been taken to the police station."
This was not the first time that Claude was taken to the police station. In fact, he had a very long police record.
He started committing crimes when he was eight years old.
The crimes he committed were mainly assaults.
When he was between the ages of eight and thirteen, he injured many people, but because he was a minor, the police could not do anything to him. They just sent him to a special education school, a juvenile detention center, or something like that.
As for why he settled down in the following years, it was because he was sent to a juvenile crime correction center, where he stayed for several years and received treatment.
The police didn't say what kind of treatment it was, but Cheng Hao felt that it must be terrible.
It is definitely more serious than those internet addiction schools in the country before.
You know, in the United States, some prison-like organizations are private. People with money and power can live well in them, but if you have no money and no background...
"When he hits people, it's usually not because he has a grudge against others. In fact, many times, he was abducted and tricked into hitting others, but his attack power is too strong! He is an adult now and should be sent to prison." Seth said.
Claude was still crying, and Cheng Hao felt very complicated.
Claude's situation was special, and he was also born in a chaotic slum community.
If he had grown up in a loving family and been surrounded by friendly people, his strength would not have been a big deal, but he lived in a place where he was surrounded by thieves and villains.
Apart from anything else, none of his brothers and sisters are good people.
In this slum, Lin Yuxun is bullied simply because of his skin color and because he is introverted. Being so foolish will certainly not end well for him.
Cheng Hao pulled Claude up and said, "Claude, what's going on between you and those kids? Didn't you say you got along well with them?"
"I don't know either..." Claude cried.
A policeman said, "Some of those kids were scared and told everything... I talked to them before, and they've actually been playing tricks on Claude. They asked Claude to go out and play with them, cheated him out of his money, and tricked him into doing stupid things for fun. This time, someone wanted his glasses, and he refused, so they broke them."
Cheng Hao's heart sank.
The police explained it very clearly. In short, what Claude had told them before, that he and his friends had a lot of fun, was all fake. In fact, those kids had been playing a trick on Claude.
But Claude didn't know that.
He gave them his pocket money and the food that Arabella had asked him to take out to share with his friends, and still they played tricks on him.
For example, when they were riding horses, they would ride Claude like a horse.
The police officer said: "We sympathize with him, but you know, it's the children who are hurt now."
"Damn it!" Old George cursed, and Arabella was also very angry.
Cheng Hao knew that although Old George valued himself more, he had not given up on Claude. He even hoped that he would play in the lightweight class and let Claude play in the heavyweight class, so that the two of them could shine together in the arena.
In addition, George Sr. and Arabella were also very nice to Claude because they had no children.
They thought he was sensible and that Claude was troublesome and needed someone to take care of him, but because of this, they put more energy and effort into Claude. As they raised him, they developed feelings for him.
But Claude's current situation...it's really troublesome.
"George, what are you going to do?" Cheng Hao asked. He was a little worried that Old George would choose to give up Claude.
Old George actually has no relationship with Claude, and they don't even have an employment contract. He can give up Claude at any time without any trouble.
Old George said, "I can pay for the medical expenses of those two children, but Claude..."
Cheng Hao felt relieved: "That's enough, Old George! You saved Claude!"
"Why?" Old George was a little puzzled.
Cheng Hao looked at Seth and said, "Seth, you can tell those parents that Claude has no family. If they choose to sue Claude, they will get nothing. If they don't sue Claude, then we can pay for their medical expenses."
"What happens next?" Seth asked. "He won't just hit me this once!"
"I'll look after him. He listens to me, so I can keep an eye on him," Cheng Hao said.
Cheng Hao didn't know what Claude encountered at this time in the original history, but he always felt that he had snatched away old George's attention from Claude.
He felt guilty towards Claude.
Besides, Claude wasn't a bad person by nature, and he didn't want to give up on him.
If we let him go to prison, God knows what will happen to him in there!
Of course, his attitude towards Claude in the future also needs to change...
They discussed it for a long time.
Old George and Arabella were both rich. They had no children and did not live a luxurious life. They owned a tavern and some other investments, so they were not short of money.
So they were willing to pay for the medical expenses of the two children, but Claude's future education would be left to Cheng Hao.
He did listen to Cheng Hao more.
After discussing it, they found the parents of those children.
The parents of those children were still making a fuss, clamoring for Claude to go to jail and for Old George to pay them a large sum of money...
The police said, "You can sue them, but you won't get any compensation. Claude is not a relative of theirs, and he doesn't even have an employment contract." They decided to tell the parents the worst-case scenario first, and then discuss what to do next.
Those parents were confused.
"You should know what Claude's situation is." The policeman said again.
They all live in the same community, and many of these children's parents do know about Claude's situation.
Claude is a fool and his parents are dead!
They had thought they could get money from Old George because they knew that Old George was very good to Claude, buying him clothes, letting him live in his home, and even giving him money.
But now, Old George is going to ignore him?
"Are you going to throw him away? Didn't he take good care of you? Didn't he take good care of that fat woman?" one of the parents shouted at Old George.
His words were very rude, suggesting that Claude was the lover of old George and Arabella.
Old George and Arabella's expressions changed, and Cheng Hao was also stunned.
Even Seth's mouth twitched. People here always don't believe that there is any good in the world without a reason, but he knew very well that Claude was definitely not Old George's lover.
