The landlord was also called over later, and when he saw the police were there, he was very cooperative.
The landlord owns many properties and has a habit of keeping accounts. He clearly remembers the water and electricity bills for He Wenhua Fast Food Restaurant. The first month's water and electricity bill was 478 yuan because the air conditioner was purchased more than half a month after the restaurant opened.
The next two months were relatively stable, with water and electricity bills of 1,138 and 1,079 respectively.
She lied about her utility bills; it's confirmed!
Mr. He said, “She claims to have 1,400 yuan for electricity a month, but in reality, even with the water bill, it doesn’t really cost that much. She’s overstating it by several hundred yuan a month. Officer, this shop was opened with money borrowed by my nephew. They weren’t married, and now they’ve broken up. She took all the profits from the shop with her. Don’t you think that’s unreasonable? Of course, when you’re in a relationship, some accounts are unclear. She’s been working hard in the shop for so long. My nephew is already being very generous by asking her to return more than 3,000 yuan. She definitely has more money than that.”
He Wenlin said, "I have already contacted a lawyer, who will be here soon. It doesn't matter if she doesn't return the money; I will sue her for illegal appropriation."
"You even contacted a lawyer?" The police were quite surprised. At this time, people's legal awareness is really weak, and very few people will go through legal channels to solve problems.
At this time, there are also a great many people who are ignorant of the law.
"If what he said is true, you will go to jail if you don't pay back the money. The sentence will be determined based on the amount of the money," the police officer said to Xia Lijuan. "You two had better resolve this through negotiation. You used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, which means your relationship was still good. There's no need to make it end so badly."
“Don’t even think about running away. I’ll have people follow you 24/7. I have money, you can’t escape,” He Wenlin said. “You used to be my brother’s girlfriend, and I put up with you. Now, let’s see who’s more unlucky. If you don’t believe me, try it.”
He Wenlin genuinely didn't care about the several thousand yuan. Xia Lijuan could also see that He Wenlin didn't care, and after hearing what the police said, she finally agreed to return the money.
Mr. He: "Give it to me now, otherwise I don't believe it. There's a bank nearby, you can go and withdraw it now."
He Wenlin said, "No, it's alright. I can use this to give my company's lawyer, Jin, a chance to practice. I want to see what he's capable of. I need to know if the money I spent on him over the past year was worth it."
Seeing that He Wenlin was really not in a hurry, Xia Lijuan became anxious instead.
Finally, after the police negotiated, Xia Lijuan immediately returned the 3,700 yuan.
