Chapter 40: Your Money Isn’t Enough

After watching the surveillance footage, the captain qualified this civil dispute. Then, he got someone to bring the relatives of Aunt Yu over and let them take a look at this surveillance video.

Out of sight, out of mind. Chen Chu’s family moved further away, too lazy to argue with them. When the family members of these people saw the surveillance footage, they were all stunned. After hearing the law enforcement officers’ description of this civil dispute, they panicked.

“No, officier. Leaving aside the matter of my mother, is there nothing wrong with that young man?”

“That’s right, that’s right. If he hadn’t angered my mother, how could my mother have… have…” Another person continued, but halfway through, that person couldn’t say anything. In the end, he said unreasonably, “Anyway, he must be responsible!”

The captain’s face was as black as ink as he tapped on the surveillance footage. “Go and check the surveillance footage. If you can find anything wrong with the other party, I’ll agree with you.”

Seeing the few of them instantly become mute, the captain was even angrier. Good lord, so you also know that you’re in the wrong? You all also know that there’s nothing wrong with him? Then how did you have the cheek to say that just now?

“Go! Why aren’t you checking it?” The captain’s tone was stern and his expression was serious. They were submissive and did not dare to refute. “Hmph!” The captain’s serious face turned to look at the other party who was still making a scene. The corners of his eyes twitched. He said to one of the team members, “Let the person in question get up. If she doesn’t, show her the surveillance footage.”

When the team member heard this, he took the notebook over. The auntie was still throwing a tantrum, refusing to get up. Even though she knew that there were surveillance cameras, she was still throwing a tantrum. It was not until the captain was about to detain her and wake her up that she got up in fear and did not dare to cause trouble again.

The two parties involved in this civil dispute met, and the families of both parties were also present.

The captain asked the two families to come over and asked bluntly, “You want to settle it publicly or privately?”

Before Chen Chu’s family could speak, the Yu family hurriedly said, “Let’s settle this privately!”

Chen Chu thought about it and nodded. “Then let’s settle it privately. But what if they take revenge later?”

The captain’s stern gaze swept across the Yu family. “If there’s any malicious revenge after this, coupled with the multiple crimes this time, everyone will be detained for 37 days. A fine of 5,000 yuan per person.

“The amount of compensation after the incident varied. Judging from the situation, the lowest amount was no less than 50,000 yuan. They also had to be responsible for medical expenses, work delays, mental damage, and so on.

“If the situation is more serious, they will be jailed for at least three years.” The captain added, “You have to think carefully. The situation is more serious this time. The responsibility is completely on your side. If the other party did not agree to settle it privately, you would have to go in for at least a day or two. Especially the other party who took the initiative to cause trouble. At the very least, two weeks.”

When the Yu family heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly waved their hands. “No, no.”

Detention was a small matter, but it would leave a criminal record. More importantly, they couldn’t have their current jobs. Even if they were not fired, they would be greatly affected.

Chen Chu’s family nodded. “Then there’s no problem. Let’s settle it privately.”

The Yu family heaved a sigh of relief. They could not help but feel a little embarrassed and did not dare to look at the other party.

The captain looked at both sides and then at a team member beside him. He instructed him and pointed at the broken bicycle.

The captain turned around and looked at both parties. “In that case, Yu Guihua, apologize to Chen Chu, and compensate him with 500 yuan for mental damage. Then, you would compensate for the original price of the bicycle that you had smashed or buy a new one. Do you have any objections?”

The Yu family hurriedly shook their heads. “It’s my duty.”

However, the auntie’s expression was a little ugly when she heard this. She glared at him, clearly unconvinced. She wanted to say something. She was stopped by her family members beside her. Oh my god, don’t you think things are messy enough? Hurry up and compensate for it! As for whether you’re angry or not, we’ll talk about it later. There’s plenty of time. We should just settle the matter first and settle it privately.

The middle-aged woman’s face was filled with resentment. She muttered something under her breath and stared fiercely at Chen Chu’s family. Her mouth was dirty. But they couldn’t hear what she was saying.

Chen Chu glanced at her. His telekinesis could already extend 18 meters. In other words, the range of the crime was 18 meters without anyone knowing. There was no point in talking about this. He was just discussing how he could commit a crime without any suspicion.

[Telekinesis Level 2 (1,245/20,000)]

Even if he slapped them a few times, no one would know that it was him.

“Since both parties have no objections, you should apologize and compensate. Let’s resolve the matter on the spot so that nothing happens again.” After the captain finished speaking, he looked at the person involved, Aunt Yu. “Yu Guihua, apologize!”

Yu Guihua was that auntie. Hearing this, she was a little reluctant. With a cold face, she said impatiently, “I’m sorry!”

Chen Chu looked at her meaningfully and did not say anything. The captain became even more serious and his eyes were filled with anger. “Is this your attitude of apologizing? Is that an apology or a feud? I’ll give you another chance. Otherwise, there’s no need to settle this privately. I’ll detain you and let you learn your lesson.”

Yu Guihua’s expression changed drastically. She cowered and her tone became much better. She lowered her head. “I-I’m sorry. I was wrong.” Then, as if she had been wronged, she turned around and started crying.

To be honest, she had been in this area for so long, but she had never seen anyone call the police as straightforwardly as Chen Chu. This was also the first time she had suffered a loss.

Chen Chu was a little disgusted. Who could stand a sixty-something-year-old woman who he hated so much crying in front of him? “Sir, I think that’s it. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take it anymore.”

The captain also looked a little nauseous and nodded when he heard this. “Then compensate. Pay for the compensation and the bicycle loss. That’s all.”

A man who looked like their boss took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chen Chu. “Student, take it. We were in the wrong today. Please forgive us.”

Chen Chu did not take it. “Where’s the money for the bicycle?”

The person opposite him was taken aback. “Isn’t that a thousand yuan? 500 yuan for mental compensation and 500 yuan for the bicycle.”

Chen Chu immediately said, “You don’t have enough money.”

That person was a little angry. “Student, is 500 yuan enough? How much is a bicycle worth? Although most of the responsibility for this is on us, you can’t extort us!”

Chen Chu corrected him, “It’s not that most of the responsibility is on you, it’s all on you. Don’t confuse others about that.”

Many neighbors gradually surrounded them. Previously, when this family went crazy, they did not dare to approach. Now that the police were here, these people had the courage to watch the show.

If these neighbors heard this and misunderstood, would they really think that he was responsible? Although he didn’t care, he knew that he couldn’t easily distort the truth. Therefore, Chen Chu’s words were very loud.

Chen Guoqiang and Yang Yumei watched in relief. They had deliberately kept quiet. Such a scene was rare. They had to train their children more.

Hearing Chen Chu’s words, the surrounding neighbors immediately nodded. Oh, so it was this family who took full responsibility! Just now, they thought that both families were at fault!
