Chapter 153 Taking a statement to the police station
"Madam, we do not welcome people who do not cooperate with our staff and the cinema's arrangements. Your inability to watch the movie is purely due to your own reasons and has nothing to do with the cinema." Upon hearing the woman's unreasonable remarks, the manager's face instantly turned cold, demonstrating what it means to change one's attitude in the blink of an eye.
"No! What do you mean we caused this? Are you being unreasonable? They're the ones who hit us, okay?" The man who was comforting his son immediately became indignant upon hearing this and went up to argue with the manager.
"Sir, we've already reviewed the surveillance footage. The sequence of events is very clear. If you want to argue your case, go find the police. It's no use coming to me." The management staff weren't going to tolerate the family of three.
Although movie theaters are also in the service industry and hope to have as many customers as possible, there is really no need to maintain these kinds of customers. After all, if these people come often, it will actually affect the movie theater's business.
"Are you looking down on people? How much did they give you? I'll give you double!" The man saw the two different attitudes of the managers and assumed that Jiang Chengcheng had bribed him, but he didn't even consider whether his previous behavior was reasonable!
"Sir, we're just discussing the matter at hand. How to handle these things is up to the police in a moment. You don't need to argue with me here." The manager was also good-natured. Although he disapproved of the family's shameless behavior, he still spoke politely.
"Don't change the subject! What about our movie tickets? I demand the same treatment as them. If you don't agree, I'll come to the door every day with a megaphone and show them how your cinema treats its customers!" The woman was getting impatient as she saw the manager refusing to mention the free tickets.
No way! This can't just end like this! She hasn't even gotten her movie tickets yet! She finally has a chance to get a good deal! How can she miss it!
Upon hearing the woman's words, the manager standing nearby grew even colder and harder.
"Madam, you're welcome to try. After all, you have a loudspeaker, and we have surveillance cameras, don't we? If you really dare to spread rumors about our cinema, I guarantee that everyone who comes to the cinema in the future will see your ugly faces today!" Seeing that being soft-spoken was useless, the manager's tone became even more forceful.
"You! Humph! Who cares about your movie tickets! I'm never coming here again! What a lousy place!" Hearing the manager's words, the woman's arrogant expression turned slightly guilty, but she still refused to admit defeat.
But nowadays, nobody wants to talk to her anymore.
……
About ten minutes later, several people in uniforms walked in with Xiao Shan.
"Miss Jiang, what's going on? Are you alright?" Xiao Shan originally thought that it was just a few kids watching a movie together, so there shouldn't be any problems.
But he had only been outside for a short while when he saw several officials enter the cinema. Xiao Shan was afraid that Jiang Chengcheng's safety was threatened, so he quickly greeted the officials and went in with them.
"It's nothing, I just ran into a few awful people." Jiang Chengcheng replied calmly when Xiao Shan asked her anxiously.
"Chengcheng, who is this?" Although Jiang Yue and Jiang Chengcheng studied in the same city in Beijing, she had never seen Xiao Shan and the others before, let alone Jiang Yu, who was not in Beijing!
"Oh, they're my friends." Jiang Chengcheng didn't mention that they were people sent by the government to protect her, otherwise it would sound like she was showing off.
"What's going on with you? Is there any CCTV footage?" The burly middle-aged policeman frowned, glanced at the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on the management personnel before asking.
"Yes, we have already provided the video surveillance footage, and we can send it to your phone at any time," the manager said calmly.
"Okay, add me on WeChat later and send me the video. You guys can come with me to the police station." The middle-aged policeman said after thinking for a moment.
The group of people didn't have any objections, but there were six of them in total, plus the family of three, making a total of nine people. They wondered if the police car could fit them all.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng had predicted, the police car was almost overflowing with people even though less than half of them had boarded.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to volunteer and follow in the car.
Jiang Chengcheng and Jiang Yu were both in the police car, and the presence of police officers around them made the atmosphere somewhat serious.
"Sister, I'm scared," Jiang Yu said, clutching Jiang Chengcheng's sleeve tightly.
Although Jiang Yu's father, her uncle Jiang Shan, is the director of the Public Security Bureau of W City, Jiang Yu rarely visits her father's workplace because she studies in another city, so the people in the bureau naturally don't recognize her.
"It's alright, it's not a big deal. If it really comes down to it, just call your dad," Jiang Chengcheng said, trying to comfort Jiang Yu.
"Ah?! No, no! I absolutely can't let my dad know! Otherwise I'll get scolded again when I get back!" Jiang Yu replied nervously upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words.
"Why don't you wear a mask for a while? Although not many people in the police station know you, there are still some." Jiang Chengcheng could tell that Jiang Yu didn't want her father to know that she was in the police station, so she took out her own disposable mask from her bag and whispered in Jiang Yu's ear.
“Okay.” Jiang Yu thought this made sense and quickly took the mask and put it on.
……
When the group arrived at the police station, there weren't many people working there, except for a few on duty.
When dealing with civil disputes like those involving Jiang Chengcheng and her group, even if the police bring them back for statements, they mostly try to persuade and advise them.
The police took both parties to separate rooms and tried to persuade them to let the matter drop by apologizing to each other.
"Ms. Jiang, how do you want to handle this matter?" Xiao Shan stood aside, ignoring the expressions of the police officers, and asked Jiang Chengcheng directly.
As a person under the key protection of the state, she has the right to deal with those who provoke her without affecting the country's development.
"Just teach him a lesson." Jiang Chengcheng wasn't one to abuse her power. Although this kind of person was hateful, he didn't deserve to die.
"Okay." Upon receiving Jiang Chengcheng's order, Xiao Shan ignored the two police officers beside him and started making a phone call right in front of them.
Xiao Shan's actions almost left the police officers nearby dumbfounded.
No? They're still here!
Is it really okay to openly plot revenge right in front of them?!
"Ahem!" A police officer couldn't help but cough twice, wanting to remind Xiao Shan and Jiang Chengcheng to be mindful of the occasion when they spoke.
