The customers in the store were whispering to each other. The emotions that had been instigated by Lu Weiqing and others gradually wavered after the explanations of Lin Yuexi and Lu Jingyi.
Some customers who had calmed down began to whisper, not knowing who to believe.
Xia Ziying noticed that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, and she became more and more anxious, shouting even louder at the top of her voice: "Don't listen to their nonsense, seeing is believing, these expired products are the evidence!"
As she shouted, she secretly winked at Li Xiuying. Li Xiuying understood and secretly dived into the crowd, intending to make some noise during the chaos.
Lin Yuexi keenly noticed Li Xiuying's little movements. She calmly winked at the clerk next to her, and the clerk understood and followed quietly.
As expected, when Li Xiuying was about to tear off the labels on the shelves to create more "evidence", the clerk was quick to grab her wrist and said, "What are you doing? Are you deliberately destroying our products?"
With this shout, everyone's attention was focused.
Li Xiuying struggled desperately, still shouting: "I didn't do that, you are framing me, I came here to buy something! And I am the boss's sister-in-law."
The clerk held her tightly and shouted, "I don't care whose sister-in-law you are. If you come to cause trouble, I can't let you go. Look carefully, she just wants to cause trouble. This is their conspiracy!"
Seeing this, Lu Weiqing's face turned pale and blue. He was furious and rushed over to pull Li Xiuying out: "Let her go. She is here to buy something..."
The scene instantly fell into chaos again. During the pushing and shoving, a gangster accidentally bumped into the shelf. The whole row of shelves was shaking and was about to fall on the surrounding customers.
At the critical moment, Lu Jianmin rushed over, used his body to hold the shelf tightly, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, get out of the way!"
Wang Lijuan also hurriedly organized the evacuation of customers. In the chaos, someone's foot was crushed by the shelf and he screamed in pain.
Suddenly, the store became more and more chaotic.
The crowd was like a disturbed colony of ants, surging and shouting everywhere.
The shelves were knocked all over the place, the goods rolled all over the floor, and the liquids flowing out of the broken bottles and cans, mixed with the footprints, formed a mess on the ground.
Some customers were so frightened that they hid in the corner and trembled;
Some customers were filled with anger and criticized the behavior of Lu Weiqing and others.
In the chaos, Lu Weiqing became more and more crazy, commanding the gangsters to continue destroying things. His eyes were red, his face was full of paranoia and madness, and he screamed loudly: "If I don't smash this store today, I won't be named Lu!"
Xia Ziying and Li Xiuying also screamed at the top of their lungs, like two crazy shrews, constantly inciting the crowd around them, trying to escalate the chaos further.
Lu Jingyi was so anxious that her face was covered with tears, but she was still trying to maintain order. She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Don't panic, this is all a misunderstanding!"
But her voice was quickly drowned out by the noise.
Lu Jianmin and Wang Lijuan were extremely busy. They had to comfort the frightened customers on the one hand, and stop the atrocities of Lu Weiqing and others on the other hand. However, they were outnumbered and could not cope with it at all.
Fortunately, Liu Zhien arrived in time with the police.
The sound of the sirens instantly penetrated the chaotic noise, bringing a sense of peace of mind to the panicked people.
Liu Zhien's eyes were sharp. He quickly scanned the situation in the store and immediately directed the public security personnel to take action: "Group One will control the troublemakers, Group Two will evacuate the crowd, and Group Three will check the situation on the scene!"
The public security personnel were well-trained and quickly surrounded Lu Weiqing and others.
Lu Weiqing wanted to resist, but was held down firmly by two police officers and could not move.
Upon seeing this, Xia Ziying and Li Xiuying were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They collapsed to the ground, still making excuses.
Liu Zhien strode up to Lu Weiqing, his eyes sharp as a torch, and said coldly: "Lu Weiqing, in the face of evidence, you still want to deny it? From inciting the masses to deliberately destroying other people's property, everything you did violated the law!"
Lu Weiqing was still struggling, glaring at Liu Zhien fiercely: "Don't accuse me, they are framing me! Besides, this is our family affair, you police have no right to interfere..."
Liu Zhien snorted coldly, "What family affairs? You organized people to smash, loot and disrupt public order... Our police have the power to arrest you..."
"You are slandering me. I know you have a good relationship with Gong Mufeng, Lin Yuexi, and Zhao Gang, so you came to arrest me. I tell you, I am not afraid of you..." Lu Weiqing yelled.
Seeing that Lu Weiqing was still so unruly, Ji Jianmin said anxiously, "Fourth brother, what are you doing? Even if the third brother is not our mother's biological son, didn't we grow up together? When the third brother was at home, he was also very good to you, his younger brother. Why are you so paranoid?"
"Second brother, it is wrong for Gong Mufeng to let mother go to jail..." Lu Weiqing said loudly.
"It was mother who wanted to poison your third brother. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Mother has raised him for so many years, but she has no regard for family affection at all. Shouldn't she be taught a lesson?" Lu Jianmin retorted.
"In short, it's wrong to let my mother go to jail..." Lu Weiqing was still yelling. Lu Jianmin sighed and stopped talking.
Liu Zhien ignored Lu Weiqing's illogical shouting and turned to signal the public security personnel beside him, "Take them back to the police station first and interrogate them according to the procedures."
The public security personnel escorted Lu Weiqing, Xia Ziying, Li Xiuying and a group of thugs out. Lu Weiqing continued to struggle and curse along the way, attracting the attention of the onlookers around.
Lin Yuexi and Lu Jingyi were busy trying to appease the frightened customers. They apologized sincerely and promised that all customers who bought things in the store today would get a 20% discount.
After hearing this, customers rushed to pay.
Lin Yuexi, Lu Jingyi and the shop assistants were busy again. While they were checking out the customers skillfully, they also patiently communicated with everyone to relieve their tension.
Wang Lijuan also joined in, helping to sort out the messed up goods and put them back on the shelves.
With everyone's joint efforts, the originally chaotic store gradually restored some order. More and more customers lined up to check out in front of the checkout counter, and the noise gradually turned into normal shopping conversations.
As night falls, the bustle of the store fades away as the last customer leaves.
Lin Yuexi, Lu Jingyi and Wang Lijuan, along with a few reliable employees, dragged their tired bodies and sat around the cash register, preparing for today's accounting work.
Previously, they estimated that after the chaos during the day, sales would drop significantly. After all, who would have thought that after the mess and chaos, the store could still have normal revenue?
Lin Yuexi was the first to open the cash box at the cash register and start counting the money. As the amount of money was gradually counted, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from initial calmness to surprise, and then to disbelief.
