"Su Ying, please let me go. Your things are lost, so why should you let so many of us wait for you? I have something else to do. I need to leave."
Xu Miaomiao said anxiously. She was visibly panicked, but still tried to pretend to be calm.
She wanted to pull her arm out of Su Ying's hand, but she didn't expect Su Ying to be so strong that she couldn't pull it out. She became even more panicked with anxiety.
"Want to leave? Dream on. I already gave you a chance, and you couldn't seize it. You can't blame me. You know that theft is punishable by imprisonment, right? When you get out, you'll be a prisoner. Forget about your current job, and your future children will also be the children of prisoners. Forget about going to college and getting a job."
Su Ying's words were so serious that Xu Miaomiao turned pale with fear.
People at that time had no legal awareness, and Xu Miaomiao was so scared that her legs went weak when she heard the word "prisoner".
"Su Ying, I admit that I took your bicycle ticket and money. I will return them all to you now. Please don't let the police arrest me. I beg you."
Xu Miaomiao was originally timid. In the past, Su Ying protected her and no one dared to bully her. Su Ying's kindness to her over the years made her feel that Su Ying was stupid and gullible. She even forgot how Su Ying treated those who bullied her in the past.
Seeing her like this, Su Ying sneered in disdain.
"I can let you go. I remember I've helped you a lot over the years and given you a lot of things. Add in the protection money, and it should be two hundred, right? Return all that money, and I'll let you go this time."
Su Ying said, reaching out to her.
"How...how can there be so much? Su Ying, you are taking the opportunity to blackmail me." When Xu Miaomiao heard Su Ying's words, her eyes widened and she looked unconvinced.
"So what? If you have the guts, you can report me to the police and have me arrested?" Su Ying was sure that Xu Miaomiao wouldn't dare.
She asked why her clothes disappeared yesterday morning, and that Xu Miaomiao must have taken them and sent them to her home.
Also, when she was a child, she always lost money. Maybe this money was stolen by Xu Miaomiao.
From childhood to adulthood, she has helped Xu Miaomiao countless times, but not only is she ungrateful, she also backstabbed and plotted against her behind her back.
If she didn't teach Xu Miaomiao a lesson this time, she would really think she was a fool and easy to bully.
Seeing that Jiang Yue was about to bring people from the Public Security Bureau, Su Ying just looked at Xu Miaomiao without any hurry.
"I... I don't have that much money, Su Ying. Please forgive me for the sake of us growing up together." Xu Miaomiao said and began to cry in front of Su Ying.
She was like this before. As long as she acted pitiful, Su Ying would stand up to help her.
Xu Miaomiao still wanted to use this trick, but what she didn't know was that it was completely useless for Su Ying now.
"You'd better save your tears. If you don't have money, you can write an IOU and pay it back slowly." Su Ying didn't indulge her. She took paper and pen from the salesperson and handed them directly to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao was still hesitating when she saw Jiang Yue coming over with people from the Public Security Bureau not far away.
She was so scared that she quickly wrote the IOU as Su Ying said and even pressed her fingerprints on it.
"Is this okay?" Xu Miaomiao wiped her tears and handed the IOU to Su Ying as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Su Ying saw that there was nothing wrong with the IOU, and then took all the bicycle tickets and money in her hand.
"This money is not all yours, there's also some of mine..." Xu Miaomiao said hurriedly when she saw that all her money had been taken away by Su Ying.
Su Ying smiled at her, "What evidence do you have to prove that this money is yours?"
Xu Miaomiao was smart this time. She suddenly realized what was happening and asked Su Ying, "Then how do you prove you lost the money? Didn't you say there was a mark on the money? Where is the mark?"
"The money in my hand is my money. If you have the guts, talk to the police yourself." Su Ying knew that Xu Miaomiao was guilty. With her courage, she probably wouldn't even dare to meet the police, let alone explain to them.
"You..." Xu Miaomiao was so angry that she pointed at Su Ying and could only cry.
Su Ying counted the money in her hand. In addition to the money she gave to Xu Miaomiao, there was more than 30 yuan left.
Some of this money was marked, and some was not. Even she couldn't tell how much was hers.
However, she has given Xu Miaomiao a lot of things over the years, which are worth more than two hundred yuan. The IOU she asked Xu Miaomiao to write just now was really a bargain for her.
Su Ying was right. Xu Miaomiao really didn't dare to face the comrades from the Public Security Bureau.
She could only hide behind the crowd and saw Su Ying smiling calmly and apologizing to the comrades from the Public Security Bureau.
Su Ying has been able to speak since she was a child. No one knows what she said to those people from the Public Security Bureau, but they all left.
But before leaving, he still verbally scolded Su Ying.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot. I gave my money to a friend to keep for me. Now I have found it. Thank you so much."
Su Ying dealt with the comrades from the Public Security Bureau and then apologized to the others embarrassedly.
When the people around saw this, except for a few complaints, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief for her.
The purchase of bicycles resumed, and Su Ying lined up at the back with money and tickets in hand. Since she was already here, she might as well buy a bicycle.
Jiang Yue stood behind Su Ying and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why didn't you tell the truth to the Public Security Bureau comrades just now? Xu Miaomiao is guilty of theft. We have evidence. With just the word from you, we can send her to jail."
"It's certainly easy to send her in, but what about my money? Wouldn't everything I've given her over the years be wasted?"
Su Ying had certainly thought about this, so she continued, "What can Xu Miaomiao do with her courage? She's only relied on me to protect her all these years. If it weren't for me, her habit of stealing would have offended many people in the compound, enough for her to bear."
After hearing Su Ying's words, Jiang Yue also nodded.
She was right. I have never seen her afraid of anyone in the compound.
When she was in elementary school, her deskmate tore a page from her book and used it to wipe his butt. She immediately went up to him, pinned him to the ground and beat him until his nose bled.
When she was in junior high school, because her father was the deputy director of the factory, someone took the lead in encouraging her, but she blocked him on the road after school and beat him up until he was black and blue.
In high school, someone wrote a love letter to her, and she scolded him in front of everyone and even told his parents when she got home.
Yesterday, when he did that to her, he even wondered if she would just take an axe and chop him down on the spot.
Or, find a stick and break his legs?
But apart from being unusually calm about what happened yesterday, she was still the same in every other aspect. He couldn't tell what had changed.
