Chapter 252 Paying for Leaving Beijing

The policeman from the police station saw Lu Mingcheng coming again and said, "Why are you here again? What bad things have you done this time with good intentions?"

The girl pointed at him and said, "He stole my money."

Lu Mingcheng explained, "I didn't, I picked it up on the road and wanted to return it to you."

The girl said, "But I asked you if you picked up my money, and you said no? You only said you picked it up after being caught by this big brother.

Do you know how important this money is to me? My grandma is still in the hospital waiting for this money to save her life, you should return the 200 yuan to me."

Several pedestrians on the roadside just now followed and testified for the girl.

"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, we did see the man pick up the money. We thought he would chase after the girl and return it, but he put it in his pocket."

"Yes, I saw the girl ask him if he saw the handkerchief, and he shook his head and said no."

With so many witnesses, Lu Mingcheng couldn't make excuses.

The comrades from the Public Security Bureau ordered him to return the money he had taken to the girl.

Lu Mingcheng turned out all his pockets and showed them to the comrades from the Public Security Bureau: "There is no money in my pockets at all. You said I took her money, so where did I put it?"

The girl said: "Only you know where I put it. Please return the money to me quickly. My grandmother is still in the hospital waiting for money to save her life." The girl

started crying as she spoke, her face was full of tears, so miserable.

Everyone was full of sympathy and accused Lu Mingcheng. They said he was so heartless that he even stole the patient's life-saving money.

Lu Mingcheng couldn't come up with the money, so he stayed in the police station.

...

The public security comrades went to Lu's house again.

Liang Qiaoli heard that Lu Mingcheng was arrested and taken to the police station for stealing money, so she quickly went to Lu Mingqi's store and called Lu Yongfu back.

After hearing this, Lu Yongfu rushed to the police station angrily and slapped Lu Mingcheng in the face when he arrived at the police station.

"You bastard! You have brought shame to our Lu family and even brought shame to Beijing. You should get out of here as soon as possible!"

The police said, "He has committed theft and will be detained for more than five days but less than ten days, and fined, unless he returns the 200 yuan to prove that it was a misunderstanding."

Lu Yongfu asked Lu Mingcheng to return the money, but he didn't have the money.

Lu Yongfu said to the police in anger, "Then arrest him!" If he

was arrested, he would have a criminal record, and Lu Mingcheng didn't want to leave a stain on his life.

She grabbed Lu Yongfu's arm and said, "Uncle San, save me. I really didn't steal her money. I just picked up the money and didn't have time to return it to her."

Lu Yongfu's words were just angry words. He didn't want the Lu family to have a stain, so he asked Lu Mingcheng to return the money to the girl.

Lu Mingcheng shook his head desperately and swore to the sky that he didn't steal the girl's money.

Lu Yongfu also searched all over him, but there was really no money.

Lu Yongfu called the girl aside and said, "Girl, I'll use this money as a cushion, and then buy you some supplements to go to the hospital to visit patients. Don't pursue it anymore, okay?"

The girl said, "As long as he returns the money, I won't pursue it."

If the person involved does not pursue it, this matter will be regarded as a misunderstanding. The public security comrades asked him to return the money to the girl and let him go.

Lu Yongfu did not have that much cash on him, so he had to call Lu Mingfeng.

Lu Mingfeng arrived and listened to what happened. He took out an IOU and asked Lu Mingcheng to sign it.

Lu Mingcheng was a little angry: "Mingfeng, aren't you taking advantage of the situation?"

Lu Mingfeng said coldly: "You have to understand that you are the one who needs me now. If you don't want to sign, forget it."

Seeing that Lu Mingfeng turned around and was about to leave without thinking, Lu Mingcheng panicked and quickly stepped forward to grab Lu Mingfeng: "Mingfeng, I said something wrong. I will sign it, I will sign it right away."

Then he took the IOU from Lu Mingfeng's hand and signed it.

Lu Mingfeng handed the girl 200 yuan and consulted with the police to make sure that there would be no criminal record before taking her back.

He drove her to the guesthouse and said, "I'm just lending you this money temporarily for emergency use. The purpose is to get you out and not have a criminal record. You should raise money in the next week."

Lu Yongan asked, "What money?"

Lu Mingfeng said, "Second uncle doesn't understand. Ask your son. Pay me back within a week."

Lu Mingcheng was anxious: "Where can I get so much money in a week?"

Lu Mingfeng didn't care about that. He took out the IOU and showed him that it stated that the debt must be paid off within a week.

"If you don't pay back the money within a week, we'll see you in court."

After Lu Mingfeng drove away, Lu Yongan and his son became anxious.

"Dad, I was cheated by Mingfeng. I was in a hurry to get the money, so I didn't read the contents of the IOU clearly. Where can we get 200 yuan now? What if he puts me in jail if I can't pay it back?"

Lu Yongan comforted him, "Don't be afraid. After all, you are a member of the Lu family. He can't let this thing go. If he really wants you to go to jail, he can just not give you the money."

"Then what should I do now?"

Lu Yongan thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to our hometown. He is so busy that he can't have time to chase him back to his hometown to ask for money."

This is a good idea. Lu Mingcheng immediately agreed, "I'll go buy a ticket now."

Then, the two began to pack their luggage.

...

After returning home, Lu Yongfu became more and more angry.

"Why would such a fool come to Beijing? They are such a disgrace!"

Lu Mingfeng said, "They will leave Beijing and return to their hometown tomorrow morning at the latest."

Liang Qiaoli said, "I think they are just afraid that you will ask for money."

Lu Yongfu felt sorry for the 200 yuan.

Lu Mingfeng said, "As long as they don't cause trouble for us and go home honestly, that's fine."

Lu Yongfu asked, "Mingfeng, do you think Mingcheng really stole the girl's money? Did the girl take the opportunity to lie about the amount of money?"

Lu Mingfeng said: "I have paid for him, these are not important anymore."

...

In a private room of a hotel,

seven or eight young people were sitting at a round table.

Yang Yun said to Wei Dalong: "Brother Long, my acting is OK, isn't it? Doesn't it make people sympathize when I cry?"

The young man next to him said: "Brother Long, my performance is OK too, isn't it?"

Others were discussing: "I thought such a simple method would not fool him, but he was easily fooled before I even used the last trick."

"I can only say that he is too greedy."

"He has been wandering around the streets these days, and I don't know what he is up to?"

Yang Yun took out 200 yuan and handed it to Wei Dalong, who waved his hand: "This money is a reward for everyone's hard work, you can share it."

Everyone thanked him in unison.
