"Well said!" Old Seven had been suffering from these three old scoundrels for a long time. Now, hearing Lin Sixian say this, he felt relieved. "These three have snatched food from diners at our stall more than once or twice. They come almost every day, sometimes several times a day. If they were really hungry and had nothing to eat, it would be fine. It's not that we can't give them some food, but they are not like that! They are just mean! They don't actually eat much of the food they snatched. They just throw it all into the trash can. Now if you look at the trash can over there, you will definitely find that the barbecue and fried noodles they stole from these two customers are lying in the trash can."
A customer behind him immediately ran to check and came back to report: "Yes, I saw a plate of fried noodles that I had barely eaten in the trash can over there."
Everyone immediately cast condemnatory glances at the three elders for their false accusations.
The police officer harshly criticized them, saying, "It's wrong for you to waste food like this. And it's illegal for you to take food from someone else's store without asking."
"Yes, yes, we know we were wrong, and we won't dare do it again." The three old scoundrels admitted their mistakes repeatedly: "You adults are magnanimous, please forgive us this time."
Old Seven sneered, "Do you know you're wrong? Are you afraid? No, you don't know what's wrong at all, and you won't dare to continue doing this. Every time we called the police, you always acted like this in front of them, but what happened? As soon as the police left, you became even more ruthless! You're simply rotten to the core, and you haven't even considered changing. You're just afraid this boss will kill your children."
"Ahem." Assistant Yu coughed. "Don't talk nonsense. Our boss is a very upright man. How could he possibly kill someone and do something so bullying? We're just conscientiously fulfilling our social responsibility and making this society more harmonious."
"Yes, yes, you are right, I am narrow-minded." Lao Qi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and if it got out, it would probably bring trouble to Lin Sixian, so he quickly changed his words after hearing that.
Lin Sixian waved his hand and said to the three old scoundrels, "Although I don't want to pursue this matter today, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it later, I'd like to trouble you all to go with us to the police station to give a statement. I also ask you to accompany us as witnesses."
Lin Sixian said to the guests nearby.
"Sure. We'll testify for you." The nearby guests did not refuse.
A young girl stood up and said, "I recorded this incident from beginning to end. If you want the video, I can also make a copy for you. If anyone uses this incident to slander you online, I can also play the video as evidence for you."
After the girl finished speaking, several more guests said that they had also recorded the video.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant even said: "We have cameras installed outside our store. This scene should have been recorded. If you need it, you can come to our store and take the relevant video away as evidence."
"Thank you, everyone." Lin Sixian thanked them all and then said to the police, "Let's go to the police station and take a statement."
"No, we won't go to the police station." The three old scoundrels said: "Please, let us go this time. We won't dare to do it again. I kneel down to you."
Once they go to the police station, their names and addresses will be revealed, and the police station may even call their children and ask their wives to pick them up.
If that happens, not only will their children be known by Lin Sixian and others, but their children will also blame them for causing them trouble.
The bodyguards held the three men and refused to let them kneel.
"Our boss has already said that he only hopes you will cooperate in going to the police station to make a statement. He won't ask you for compensation. Why are you unwilling? Are you planning to use this to blackmail others later?" Lawyer Lu smiled and said, "If that's the case, then we can't settle this privately. We demand that we go through the formal procedures."
"That's right," the barbecue restaurant owner also spoke up. "These three people have been causing trouble at our barbecue stall almost every day for the past three months, stealing our customers' food and verbally abusing them. This has damaged our reputation and has caused many customers to stop coming for late-night snacks. This has caused us significant financial losses. We demand a public apology and a promise from them to compensate us for our losses."
Lawyer Lu told the police, "Although this matter is small, the impact is huge, so we still have to go through the formal procedures. I'm sorry to bother you, police officer."
What else could the police say? They could only take them back to the police station to take their statements.
As for those three old scoundrels, they had no choice but to go even if they didn't want to.
Lin Sixian watched the police and the three old scoundrels walk forward and said to Jiang Chunian, "I was originally planning to have a nice midnight snack with you, but I didn't expect something like this to happen and we have to waste time dealing with it."
Jiang Chunian smiled and said, "It's okay, just treat it as a fun event."
Lin Sixian smiled and said, "I'll have someone prepare some midnight snacks and send them directly to your house. Eating midnight snacks at home won't get snatched away, right?"
Jiang Chu Nian smiled: "Okay."
The two were preparing to go to the police station to take a statement.
It could have been handed over to Assistant Yu and the lawyer, but no matter what, they still had to go through the process.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant hurried forward to apologize to them: "I'm so sorry to have given you such an unpleasant experience. Your table will be free tonight. I've also had someone prepare another serving of barbecue and fried noodles, which I'll give to you free of charge as a token of our apology."
"Just waive the fee, and don't prepare another barbecue." Jiang Chunian said with a smile, "It's us who made such a big fuss, which may affect your business. I hope you can understand."
"Don't ever say such things," the boss gritted his teeth. "In fact, it's not just me. There's not a single shop nearby that doesn't want to send those three old—ahem, three old scoundrels to the police station and lock them up. But there's nothing we can do. They're old, and even if we call the police, they can only give them a few verbal criticisms. They can't do anything to them at all. It can be said that they can't be talked to or touched. We've really suffered a lot. With what you did tonight, I believe they will behave themselves for a while. If this can be completely resolved, then you will be our benefactors. So how could I blame you? I'm grateful enough."
The three of them went to the police station together. After Jiang Chunian and Lin Sixian took their statements, they left the follow-up matters to Lawyer Lu and went back first.
