OBS Chapter 155 is flawless.
Chapter 155 is flawless.
"It's alright, everyone can go now!" Liu Qing said to the customers.
"How interesting! You can just stop us whenever you want, and inspect us whenever you want? And now you're dismissing us with just a few words? Why should we?" someone said.
"Exactly! This is outrageous!"
"This is a complete insult to one's dignity!"
"And these police officers are biased towards them, we want to file a complaint!"
"Yes, we should file a complaint!"
"These corrupt officials must be exposed!"
"We support it! We support eliminating this scourge for the people!"
……
The crowd was in a state of high spirits, drawing criticism from onlookers as well.
"I'm sorry, we were wrong and wronged everyone. Please forgive us!" Qin Yanlin didn't want things to escalate further, so he quickly apologized.
"I'm so sorry, I apologize to everyone!" Hu Yue and Liu Qing also quickly apologized.
"Is a simple 'sorry' enough? If I slap you now and say 'sorry,' will you forgive me?" someone asked, dissatisfied.
“Yes, they falsely accused someone without cause and even blocked them in the store, preventing them from leaving. How much of an impact does this have on us? It’s not something that can be resolved with just an apology,” someone protested.
"Exactly, if that's allowed, then wouldn't everyone be able to slander others? Just because you think it's okay, you can falsely accuse others? You can restrict their personal freedom?" Some people escalated the issue to a whole new level.
that is!
indeed!
This is absolutely unacceptable!
They must be arrested!
He must be sentenced!
……
"So how do you plan to resolve this?" Qin Yanlin had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
“You are restricting our personal freedom, and you must be held legally responsible!” a middle-aged man shouted.
"At least compensate us for our emotional distress!" another person demanded.
"How many do you want?" Qin Yanlin's face turned cold.
"Each person must pay 1,000 yuan! They also need to give us a sincere apology on the spot and write a letter of apology..."
“Your requests are all reasonable, and I support them, but!” Qin Yanlin stopped.
"But what?" the man asked.
Qin Yanlin twitched the corners of his mouth, a forced smile on his face, and said, "But I didn't do this today. Everyone saw it. When I arrived, it had already happened."
Moreover, as you just heard, Ms. Deng asked you to leave.
These two waiters have been preventing you from leaving.
Therefore, neither Ms. Deng nor I have slandered you, nor have we restricted your personal freedom.
If you want to seek compensation, go to them.
However, I have a question: these two waitresses are just two girls, while there are seven or eight adult men among you. How could they restrict your personal freedom?
"That's right, those two girls stopped them, and that woman even tried to pull them away!" Someone watching the commotion immediately understood.
"Exactly, they're asking for a thousand per person right off the bat. Are they just trying to scam us?" A nearby merchant began to consider the nature of the problem.
……
The wind suddenly shifted, and everyone began to suspect the intentions of those individuals.
Local merchants, especially those in the vicinity, immediately began to protest. After all, they were in business too, and they had absolutely zero tolerance for such extortion.
"You! You're all being unreasonable! Fine, let's put aside the issue of slander and compensation for now, and just talk about the cause of this incident, okay?" the middle-aged man shouted, looking furious.
The room fell silent after those words were spoken.
Because there's absolutely nothing wrong with what I'm saying!
The man continued, "They said they lost something, so they wouldn't let us leave. But now they've checked, and we didn't take it at all."
Where did that thing go?
Is it possible that they didn't lose anything at all and are trying to frame us?
Are they trying to extort money from us?
"Hey, when you put it that way, there's actually a point!" someone immediately commented.
"Right, they keep saying they lost something, but what exactly did they lose? Did they really lose it or are they just pretending?" someone asked.
"It's really gone! It's really gone! Here, here, and here, it was all full before we went to the bathroom, but when we came back, we found it was all empty."
"We have to pay for lost items, and we only stopped them because we were in a hurry," Liu Qing said excitedly.
"Where did that thing go?" someone asked.
"Forget it, it's all in the past. Let's all forgive each other and let this matter drop." Deng Xiuzhen felt a little tired and thought that those things were most likely taken by the customers in front of her, and there was no point in talking about it anymore.
"Absolutely not! We've all been checked, and it's not fair to let this go! Officers, if you don't investigate thoroughly, I'm definitely going to sue you for dereliction of duty and unfair enforcement of the law!" the man said firmly.
"The goods may have been taken away and can't be found. We were wrong today, and we want to apologize to you. Please forgive us!" Hu Yue said with a smile, adopting an extremely humble posture.
"At the very least, you should check your own inflow and outflow records to make sure there are no lost goods, and check if you might have misplaced the goods, right?" those people were very angry.
"This was our employee's fault, officers. Please investigate however you see fit. Thank you." Qin Yanlin had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Since the store cannot provide surveillance footage, we can only check the income and expenditure records first, and then search the store.
"What's this?" someone asked loudly, pointing to a bag of items under the cashier.
The sound was loud and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Some curious onlookers immediately ran over and opened the bag, revealing the contents, though it was unclear what exactly they were or how much.
But one thing is certain: this bag is full of the store's goods!
"What's going on? You have to give me a reasonable explanation!"
"Yes! A reasonable explanation is needed! This kind of slander is outrageous!"
……
The situation was temporarily out of control.
"You, you listen to my excuses, no, you listen to my explanation!" Hu Yue panicked.
Liu Qing rushed forward, rummaged through the bag, and said painfully, "Auntie, how could you do such a thing? Mr. Qin has been so good to you, so trusting of you, how could you hide the goods? What are you trying to do?"
"No wonder you let them go! No wonder you told us to go back and rest! I was so touched by your relationship."
Did you see that we had diarrhea and try to get rid of us so you could take your things with you, then claim they were lost and make us pay for them?
"How could you do this? How could you betray President Qin's trust?" Hu Yue said, heartbroken.
“That’s not how it is. I didn’t put these things here,” Deng Xiuzhen explained.
But her explanation was so weak and unconvincing.
The scene erupted in uproar, with voices criticizing Deng Xiuzhen.
