Difficult to Deal With

“Hey officer, this doesn’t seem right! Have you investigated thoroughly? Why am 1 the one who needs to pay compensation now? Weren’t you downstairs just now saying you’d help me?”

Pan Hua found it somewhat unbelievable. Was this police officer blind? Couldn’t he see that Mei Shu was deliberately extorting money?

Mei Ye also chimed in, “Officer, didn’t you mention earlier that your colleagues needed to verify the authenticity of the receipts? We haven’t received the results of that verification yet. Why are you bringing up compensation now?” The police officer felt a bit speechless. Some things didn’t need verification at all; it was clear from the surveillance footage that the old lady intentionally smashed the vases. Was there anything left to investigate?

However, understanding in one’s heart was one thing. To avoid getting entangled with the old lady, he still patiently said, “Please don’t worry, both of you. We’ll wait here together until we receive the results of our colleagues’ investigation. Once the results are out, we’ll decide. Would that satisfy you?” “Young man, you have to conduct your investigation properly! Why should we pay without the facts being clear?” Pan Hua, seeing that the police officer was somewhat yielding, started lecturing again.

The police officer just humored her, but he was already quite impatient.

Mei Shu said, “You two continue your discussion. 1 have work to attend to. Tang Mei, remember to serve tea to our guests and take care of them.”

“Sure, President Mei.” Tang Mei didn’t even glance at Pan Hua and Mei Ye throughout the entire conversation.

She had intended that since the police had arrived, there was no need to engage in any more arguments with them.

However, it seemed that peace was elusive, as these two individuals showed no signs of backing down.

Seeing Mei Shu and Tang Mei’s silence, Pan Hua became even more energetic. “Officer, let me tell you, Mei Shu used to be my granddaughter, but just now we signed an agreement to sever all ties. In the future, she has no relationship with me whatsoever. When the time comes, if you penalize her, don’t take my face into consideration! Give her a severe lesson!”

Mei Shu, engrossed in her documents, couldn’t help but smile at this.

The police officer felt a bit tangled. “Auntie, in fact, you’re still family in essence. Why make things look so ugly?”

Pan Hua became agitated. “Oh, I didn’t want this! She’s the one who’s made things irreparable. You don’t know. My nephew, who is Little Ye’s son, was just sent to prison by Mei Shu last night. Can you imagine? That’s her own uncle! What kind of younger generation does that?”

The police officer thought carefully and suddenly realized, “You mean the kidnapping extortion case that Captain Liu personally handled last night? I remember the suspect’s name was Mei Cheng?”

“Yes! That’s him!” Pan Hua slapped her thigh. “Our Ah Cheng is definitely innocent! Even if he did kidnap someone, he was forced into it. You police need to thoroughly investigate the whole situation and not let the vile person who’s causing trouble behind the scenes off the hook!”

As she spoke, her sneaky eyes kept darting towards Mei Shu, making her intentions even more obvious.

The police officer smiled wryly. “Auntie, the evidence for that case is conclusive, and Mei Cheng has confessed to the kidnapping and setting up an illegal gambling den. We haven’t arrested the wrong person. He should indeed bear legal responsibility, especially since he also fled due to a large debt owed to the bank. There are multiple charges against him, and he can’t be lightly sentenced.”

Upon hearing this, Mei Ye couldn’t sit still any longer and exclaimed, “Officer, my son is truly innocent! He must have been framed! My son’s company has always been doing well, but ever since Mei Shu became the president of Mei Corporation, she has been constantly opposing my son. This must be her doing! If we really delve into it, Mei Shu cannot escape responsibility either!” “This is beyond our jurisdiction,” the police officer said somewhat helplessly. “As long as it’s within the legal boundaries, we have no reason to intervene.” Mei Ye’s eyes narrowed, a surge of anger rising in her chest, her face turning crimson. “How can you say that? Shouldn’t you investigate the truth of the matter first? Even if there’s a conviction, my son should at least receive a reduced sentence because of this!”

“The sentencing is up to the court; we police officers are only responsible for apprehending suspects.” The police officer was sweating profusely; these two were indeed difficult and unreasonable. He even thought about closing the case quickly to return to the station; he didn’t want to engage with them anymore. But Mei Ye wouldn’t let him go, gripping his hand angrily. “No! Once you’ve arrested someone and sent them to court, does that mean you’re done with everything? Won’t my son’s entire life be ruined? Why can she sit here comfortably and continue to evade justice?”

lie pointed towards Mei Shu, almost wishing the police would immediately handcuff her and take her away.

Mei Shu smiled and interrupted, “Hold on a moment, Mr. Mei. Please get your facts straight. Your son owes a huge sum of money to the bank, and he also swindled a large amount of money from his wife, Feng Wei, before fleeing. According to your logic, he is the main culprit in driving Feng Wei to her death, and he should bear legal responsibility even more..”
