Chapter 312
A policeman touched the handcuffs on his waist and walked toward Ye Fei.
Ye Fei knew these police officers just wanted to avoid trouble rather than discover the truth of the matter.
So Ye Fei chose the simplest method to handle the situation, which was to make a call to Qin Xiaogang.
Soon, Qin Xiaogang contacted the deputy director of the police station, who called the police officers and scolded them. Their original cold expressions turned into embarra.s.sed smiles.
One of the police officers whispered, "Oh, man, this is Mr. Ye, the acquaintance of Director Qin."
"Yes, you know Director Qin, why didn't you say that sooner?" asked another.
"Do I need to hang a sign on my chest that says I am a friend of Qin Xiaogang's?" Ye Fei asked coldly.
A policeman chuckled awkwardly.
"Do you want me to go to the police station and record my testimony? After all, I beat these children."
Ye Fei asked coldly, glancing at the young thieves on the ground.
"No, No. We have found out these children are really thieves. They've been stealing things around the amus.e.m.e.nt park recently. Mr. Ye, you are a righteous man, and we certainly can't punish you for this. If you want to say something on the record, just come to the police station," a policeman hurriedly said.
Ye Fei nodded. He understood that it was okay for him to go in or avoid the police station altogether. However, Ye Fei wanted to go in and try to get the whereabouts of Old Joe from Mingo.
A few white ambulances drove up and the paramedics carried the wounded boys to them on stretchers.
"Who beat them so badly?" the paramedics asked each other quietly. They thought Ye Fei had gone too far. After all, these were just children.
But they did not know the whole store.
"Take Zhao Hongshuo away, too. He is badly hurt."
Ye Fei pointed to Zhao Hongshuo who was laying in his tattered costume on the ground. The man looked at Ye Fei gratefully.
"He can't go!" someone suddenly shouted.
A middle-aged man in a white suit walked over, followed by the workers from the amus.e.m.e.nt park.
"This is the head of our amus.e.m.e.nt park, Mr.
"Oh, you are Mr. Sun Xiao."
The police officers had apparently heard of him.
"I am. What's going on here? What's the matter with these children, how did they get hurt so badly?"
Sun Xiao glanced at Ye Fei and Zhao Hongshuo.
"Oh, Mr. Sun, just now..."
A policeman told the whole story quickly.
"Oh, they are just a few thieves. Then it's not my business," he said after the policeman finished. Sun Xiao took a breath and pointed to Zhao Hongshuo. "Everyone else can leave here, except him."
"Why? He did his best to help catch the thief and was hurt in the process. Now he has to go to the hospital for treatment. Why won't you let him go?" Ye Fei asked.
"You want to know the reason? Well, because he owes us money. Of course I can't let him go."
With a cold smile, Sun Xiao took out a cigar and lit it.
"Owes money?" Ye Fei looked at Zhao Hongshuo and asked, "Do you owe him money? How much do you owe him?"
"Bulls.h.i.+t!"
Although Zhao Hongshuo was injured, when he heard this, he immediately turned angry and tried to sit up, pointing at Sun Xiao. "I have been working in this amus.e.m.e.nt park for a week. He said he would give me one hundred yuan a day, but seven days have already pa.s.sed, and I have not seen any money, only a few vegetarian lunch boxes and a few bottles of water!"
"Your salary?" Sun Xiao sneered and said, "Just seven hundred yuan. I'll give you the money. Now the problem is, you've ruined our costume. You may not know, but it was imported from the United States and is a genuine Disney costume. I won't charge you s.h.i.+pping, so you'll only owe 20,000 yuan. You see, I'm very generous."
"What?"
Upon hearing this figure, Zhao Hongshuo was shocked.
"This terrible outfit cost 20,000 yuan?"
Lin Qingwan squatted down and touched the costume fabric and the padding inside. Then she said, "This is just khaki fabric and sponge. I think you're trying to cheat him."
Xu Haifeng, Da Wu and Xiao Wu had also come with Lin Xuejiao, and after understanding the situation, they agreed with Lin Qingwan.
"Cheat? These costumes are so expensive! Anyway, if he doesn't hand over the money today, he's not going to be able to leave! Come on, hand it over. I have things to do today!" Sun Xiao shouted loudly.
"20,000 yuan? You think if I had that much money that I'd come work at your c.r.a.ppy amus.e.m.e.nt park?" Zhao Hongshuo asked. He was trembling all over. Although Ye Fei had stopped his bleeding for a while, he was so angry that the wound opened again and the red stain on his clothes spread even further.
"All right. The police are here, so I'll just tell them to arrest you!"
Sun Xiao called back the policemen who were preparing to leave and said, "He owes me money but refuses to hand it over."
