Chapter 114: Damn, is there anyone who begs for help like this?
"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, go check it out! Your tea stall has been smashed!"
Before Shi Xiaoai could open the door, an old lady's voice came from outside.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly walked over and opened the door.
Before she could speak, Aunt Wang at the door waved at her vigorously, then pointed in the direction of the alley entrance: "Go quickly, go quickly, your brother and Zhao Cuihong are fighting!"
Zhao Cuihong?
Shi Xiaoai thought for a while before remembering that Zhao Cuihong was the mother of Shi Daxi and Shi Xiaomei.
But didn’t she go out of town with Shi Yunpeng before?
Shi Xiaoai knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so she turned to Cheng Kai who had followed her out and told him to take good care of the child at home.
Before she could finish her words, Aunt Wang beside her reached out and pushed her: "Go, hurry up and go, I'll look after the child for you, you go quickly!"
When Xiao Ai realized the seriousness of the matter, she said nothing more and ran outside.
By the time she ran to the tea stall, the situation was almost under control.
Cheng Lin was held down near the shed by Wang Xiaofeng and several acquaintances in the alley, preventing him from rushing forward.
On the other side, some distance away from him, Zhao Cuihong and the three other women who came with her were pressed in front of a table by people who came to help.
At the same time, many regular customers surrounded them to prevent them from meeting Cheng Lin.
Before Xiao Ai could even reach them, she could hear Zhao Cuihong crying through the crowd: "I don't want to live anymore, let me die! If you don't let my son live, I will fight you to the death. We will die together, and no one will live!"
After hearing this, Shi Xiaoai finally understood that Zhao Cuihong must have heard the news that Shi Daxi was arrested and rushed back to avenge her son.
When they saw Xiao Ai coming over, the people watching and helping all breathed a sigh of relief.
Many people greeted her.
Cheng Lin struggled even harder, shouting across the crowd, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
Shi Xiaoai signaled to Wang Xiaofeng and asked them to let go of Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin ran up to her in a few steps, and his eyes suddenly turned red like a wronged child seeing his relative.
He pulled Shi Xiaoai's sleeve and pointed into the shed: "Sister-in-law, look! They smashed all this!"
Shi Xiaoai was pulled by him and walked into the shed, and then she found that the shed was a mess!
The soup pot containing the braised meat overturned, and the broth and the meat and vegetables inside spilled all over the floor, overflowing with soup.
The table where the dishes were placed was pushed over, and all the bowls and cups on it fell to the ground. Dozens of glasses and large porcelain bowls were broken, and the ground was littered with broken porcelain pieces and broken glass.
It looked like a fight had taken place in here. The tables and chairs that hadn't been moved out were all in a mess, many of them had been knocked over, and several benches had been kicked to the innermost part of the tent...
It looked like he had just experienced a violent storm, looking miserable and tragic.
Not to mention doing business, no one can even enter the tent.
Even though Shi Xiaoai thought she was strong enough, she was still so angry that her whole body was shaking and her heart was pounding when she saw her stall become like this.
"They showed up right after we started setting up the stall. I was busy making pancakes and didn't notice them. Cheng Lin didn't know Zhao Cuihong. So, they came in and started smashing things without saying a word..."
Wang Xiaofeng's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that the scene she had just experienced was still frightening her.
She looked at Shi Xiaoai with a guilty look on her face and blamed herself: "It's all my fault. I wish I had recognized her earlier."
"Why should I blame you? Who could have thought of this in advance?" Shi Xiaoai tried hard to calm herself down, and then comforted softly.
"I'm going to kill her!" Cheng Lin, who followed, became angry again when he heard this.
He swung his fist and rushed out again.
Shi Xiaoai quickly took two steps and grabbed him.
Seeing Shi Xiaoai and Cheng Lin coming out of the tent, Zhao Cuihong, who was sitting on the ground crying, suddenly stopped crying. It was obvious that she wanted to see what Shi Xiaoai was going to do.
When she saw Xiao Ai grabbing Cheng Lin tightly, obviously not wanting to make a big deal out of it, Zhao Cuihong seemed to suddenly gain confidence.
She started making a fuss again.
Zhao Cuihong screamed again, her howling even louder than before.
She cried and cursed, struggled hard, and even kicked the customers who tried to stop her.
Seeing that the people who came to help were unable to stop her, Shi Xiaoai walked towards Zhao Cuihong.
When she saw Xiao Ai coming over, Zhao Cuihong's crying stopped again.
It can be seen that she is still in fear of Shi Xiaoai's fighting ability.
But the crying only stopped for a moment and then started again.
But this time she no longer said anything about dying together, and the content of her curses was also changed.
She dragged out her voice and cried, "Shi Xiaoai, you're such a heartless ungrateful person! You don't even recognize your own brothers! Who is Daxi? He's your brother! How can a girl send her own brother to the police station? You're such a heartless person!"
As Zhao Cuihong spoke, she seemed to be mustering up courage for herself, feeling that she was in the right.
She even crawled up from the ground, pushed everyone away and threw herself on Shi Xiaoai.
Zhao Cuihong grabbed Shi Xiaoai's arm tightly and said to her, "Come on! Come with me to the police and write them a letter of reconciliation. Tell them that there's nothing wrong between you and Daxi. It's just a family quarrel, and you won't sue him!"
As she spoke, she tugged at Shi Xiaoai's arm, her face flushed with anxiety as she urged, "Come with me quickly and tell them you won't tell them about the wedding! Let's go now!"
Only then did Shi Xiaoai know the reason why Zhao Cuihong came to find her, which shocked her!
She couldn't help but look at the man again in surprise.
For a moment, it was a little unclear whether Zhao Cuihong was brainless or had a mental problem?
So, she came here specifically to find me to write a letter of reconciliation!
Damn, is there anyone who begs for help like this?
You smashed someone's stall before asking for help?!
Shi Xiaoai was almost amused by Zhao Cuihong's unexpected and stupid move.
I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as this!
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaoai simply did not try to stop Zhao Cuihong, nor did she even try to break free from her grip.
She just gave a look to Cheng Lin, who was hugged by Wang Xiaofeng again and refused to let him rush forward, to stop his action.
Then he said to Wang Xiaofeng, "Give everyone a refund. We're closed today. Give all the customers who just came to eat a free meal. Also, don't move until I come back."
Hearing her say this, Cheng Lin immediately realized what she wanted to do, and stopped rushing. He stood up straight and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, you go ahead, I'll watch over here!"
Wang Xiaofeng also let go of the hand that was restraining Cheng Lin.
Zhao Cuihong couldn't bear it any longer, and she pulled Shi Xiaoai to go to the police station again.
The other three women who followed her also got up from the ground, ignoring the dirt on their bodies, and all followed Zhao Cuihong, surrounding Shi Xiaoai in the middle.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaofeng asked worriedly, "Sister, can I go with you?"
"No need." Shi Xiaoai gave her a reassuring look, then followed Zhao Cuihong's wishes and went to the police station with the four of them.
This was Shi Xiaoai's first time at the police station. Compared to her, Zhao Cuihong seemed to be very familiar with the place.
She pulled Shi Xiao Ai into the police station, and then strode towards the duty office with a proud and confident look.
As he walked, he shouted excitedly: "Comrade, comrade, I brought Shi Xiaoai to you!"
It's just eight o'clock now, the time when the morning shift is changing to the night shift, and almost all the comrades in the police station are here.
Hearing her shouting, several police officers immediately came out of the house.
At the same time, someone shouted loudly: "What are you arguing about? Is this a place where you can make loud noises?"
Zhao Cuihong's voice immediately dropped several degrees, and the grip she held on Shi Xiaoai's wrist increased in strength.
Unable to control her excitement, she pulled Shi Xiaoai and took a few quick steps. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Comrade, I've captured Shi Xiaoai! Hurry and get her to write the reconciliation agreement!"
The young police officer on duty today happened to be the one who had previously asked Shi Xiaoai to investigate the situation.
Seeing that she was grabbed by Zhao Cuihong, her body was forced to lean to one side, and she was staggering when she walked because of Zhao Cuihong's pulling, she was immediately furious!
He walked over, grabbed Zhao Cuihong's hand, and made her throw it aside.
Then he pulled Shi Xiaoai out from the encirclement of the four people and asked with concern: "Comrade Shi, are you okay?"
At this time, Shi Xiaoai looked like she was about to cry, with red eyes.
She did not answer the public security officer's question immediately, but made a "hiss" sound and raised her arm to move her wrist.
When she raised her arm, the large red mark on her wrist from being scratched was particularly conspicuous against her fair skin.
You can also clearly see several clear fingerprints and scratches on the skin.
"Did she catch this?" The young policeman glared at Zhao Cuihong fiercely.
Shi Xiaoai nodded, and then told in a panicked tone that the tea stall was smashed by Zhao Cuihong and the people she brought with her.
"I still don't know what happened. I had something to do at home today and was not planning to go to the stall. But just now, my neighbor came to me and said that these people smashed our stall.
I just ran over to take a look, and the whole pot of braised meat we were going to sell today, as well as all the pots, pans, and utensils were smashed by them. We can't do business at all.
That’s not all, the spilled soup also scalded several regular customers.”
When Shi Xiaoai said this, she recalled the tragic scene she had just seen, and her tears couldn't help but flow down her face due to the pain.
She looked up at the crowd gathered around her and asked aggrievedly, "Comrade Public Security, what on earth is going on? They came over here early in the morning and smashed our stall, scaring away all our customers. It's said that this is just to get me to come here and write a mediation agreement?"
What exactly is this mediation agreement? If I don’t sign it, will I be unable to do business in the future?
Shi Xiaoai felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke: "What did we do wrong? First they cut off our electricity, then they smashed our stall, and after that they forced me to write a mediation agreement!
How can a person be so overbearing? How can he do whatever evil he wants?
Public security comrades, we are now in a society ruled by law, right? Our police stations are places where the people are governed, right?
Then please help me find out what I can do to get them to let me go? So that we can live in peace!"
The previous case involving Shi Daxi was the biggest case in the police station this year, and the station took it very seriously.
It can be said that everyone in the police station, regardless of whether they were on duty that day or not, had some understanding of the case.
Some of the people present at the moment might not know Shi Xiaoai, but after hearing her crying, they all knew what was going on.
Immediately, someone cast an indignant look at Zhao Cuihong.
Faced with the anger of the crowd, Zhao Cuihong shrank back.
But at the same time she expressed confusion.
She argued in a low voice: "You said that if you want my son to be released, Shi Xiaoai must write a settlement agreement."
"Who told you that?" A serious voice sounded from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned around and called out in a low voice, "Director."
Make way for that person.
Director Zheng walked up to the group with a serious expression. He first looked at Shi Xiaoai and nodded at her, then looked at Zhao Cuihong and asked again, "Who told you that writing a settlement agreement would get your son released?"
Hearing him ask this, Zhao Cuihong became anxious. She stretched her neck and began to look around.
As he watched, he said again, "That's what your people said."
At this time, a very young policeman, who looked no more than twenty years old, squeezed in from the back of the crowd. His face flushed with anxiety, and he said embarrassedly, "Captain, the person she's talking about might be me."
Seeing that Director Zheng was about to lose his temper, the young man quickly explained: "I didn't say that writing a settlement agreement would release his son!
She came to the police station yesterday afternoon and kept crying. She even kowtowed at the end and kept asking how she could see her son and how she could get her sentence reduced.
I told her that she could apply for mediation according to the process, but if she wanted the mediation to be successful, she would first have to gain the victim's forgiveness and ask them to issue a settlement agreement.
The young man looked up at Director Zheng, then lowered his head again, explaining in a frustrated voice, "I just told her the procedure. I didn't know she would try to gain her forgiveness in this way."
His voice was very soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.
No one said anything, but from everyone's expressions, it could be seen that everyone actually agreed with the young policeman's statement.
No one could have imagined that just following the normal legal education process would lead to such a strange situation.
Director Zheng obviously thought so in his heart, but he should also have thought that one of the reasons why Shi Xiaoai suffered such an unexpected disaster was due to their unintentional actions.
He gave Shi Xiaoai an apologetic look.
Afterwards, Director Zheng's expression froze. He ordered the officer on duty, "Xiao Sun, take two people and Comrade Shi to the scene to see what's going on. Go and investigate thoroughly!"
Then he pointed at Zhao Cuihong and the others and glared at the onlookers.
He shouted, "What are you all staring at? These criminals who are destroying collective property, looting, and injuring people have come to our station to cause trouble, and you're still standing there? Arrest them all!"
