Chapter 703: What Goes Around Comes Around

“Captain Liu, I wonder why his parents didn’t come!”
Zhou Chao was familiar with the details of this family. The parents of the young man resided in Jingdu and had relatively relaxed jobs, owning a company that offered good benefits. As entrepreneurs, they enjoyed considerable freedom.
“I’ve called his parents and they said that his grandmother will take full responsibility for this matter,” Captain Liu replied somewhat helplessly, looking at the old lady still rolling on the ground.
Dealing with such a shameless old lady, Captain Liu found himself in a dilemma.
“Do his parents know about these things, including his mother?” Zhou Chao looked at the old lady still on the ground.
“They know. As soon as she arrived here, she started making a scene. We immediately called her son, but he simply said he was busy and hung up!”
Dealing with this elderly lady who was not only elderly but also particularly shameless was indeed not easy. If there were any mishaps, she might be the one blackmailing and giving them trouble at the police station.
Since this old lady arrived at the police station, Captain Liu had ordered his subordinates to turn on their enforcement recorders. Otherwise, given this old lady’s character, she might just cause chaos at the station.
Zhou Chao understood why this young man was so confident. With such a shameless grandmother to help him handle things, what did he have to fear?
What they should be afraid of were the victims themselves!
Many people, when faced with such situations, would prefer to avoid trouble. After all, their losses were not significant. Moreover, with the shameless style of this old lady, the young man always managed to evade responsibility.
However, Zhou Chao refused to tolerate such behavior. After all, his and his wife’s butterfly bicycles were globally renowned limited editions, the only ones of their kind for couples. Now, not only did this kid steal it, but he also damaged it!
“Captain Liu, how old is that kid?” Zhou Chao gestured towards the young man playing with his phone.
Hearing this question, Captain Liu instantly understood what Zhou Chao wanted to do!
“It’s quite a coincidence. That kid just turned sixteen a few days ago!”
Zhou Chao’s lips curved into a smile upon hearing this. He knew a bit about the law.
If the kid was under sixteen, the law would be more forgiving. Even if sued, the most he’d have to do is pay for the bicycle’s cost. But once he turned sixteen, he’d be subject to appropriate legal consequences!
The old lady lying on the ground also heard the conversation between Zhou Chao and Captain Liu clearly and quickly got up from the ground.
“What are you going to do?” Rare panic appeared on the old lady’s face.
Zhou Chao glanced lightly at the old lady and then turned his gaze to Captain Liu. “I’ll just sue him then. Since the situation is difficult to resolve, let the court handle it!”
“You can’t sue! If you do, it will ruin my grandson’s reputation for life. If you sue me, I’ll die before you!”
The old lady’s expression shifted like changing masks, from initial panic to subsequent anger, smoothly transitioning without any pause.
Just then, the young man who had been playing with his phone slammed it on the table and shouted loudly, “Granny, the matter isn’t resolved yet, but I’m hungry! It’s Thursday today, and I want to go eat KFC’s Zinger Burger!”
Upon hearing her grandson’s words, the old lady’s expression softened instantly, and she looked at her grandson with affection, saying with a smile, “Granny will sort things out right away, and then we’ll go eat KFC!”
“Ten minutes. If I can’t get the Zinger Burger from KFC, I won’t talk to you anymore!” The young man picked up his phone again after speaking.
“Don’t worry, Granny will solve the problem right away!”
After saying that, the old lady changed her demeanor again and looked at Zhou Chao and Captain Liu, saying, “It’s just a broken bicycle. Tell me, how much money? I’ll double the compensation for you!”
The sudden change in the old lady’s attitude left Zhou Chao and Captain Liu dumbfounded. From playing dumb at first to wanting to settle the matter with money, it had only been a few minutes!
“Double the compensation? Do you even know how much this bicycle is worth?” Captain Liu, standing beside them, couldn’t help but laugh at the old lady’s words!
“How much? His broken bicycle is worth at most a few hundred yuan. Even if it’s a few thousand, it doesn’t matter. We have money!” The old lady looked at them disdainfully.
“Indeed quite wealthy, with three houses in Jingdu, five storefronts, and your son even runs a small technology company. Tsk tsk, theoretically, your family shouldn’t lack money, but why are you so shameless? Oh, by the way, my bicycle is worth 3.2 million!”
Zhou Chao chuckled at the audacity of the old lady.
Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, the old lady’s expression changed again, and she shouted angrily, “How do you know about my family’s situation? Alright, I understand now. You’re deliberately trying to cheat us, colluding with the police, setting up a trap just to scam money from our family. Worth 3.2 million? Ah~ It’s outrageous!”
After saying that, the old lady opened the door and stood in the corridor, continuing her performance!
“Come and see! Someone’s committing fraud, colluding with the police, is there no justice left~” The old lady sat in the corridor, crying out while banging on the wall.
It seemed like she was really suffering from a great injustice!
At this moment, Zhou Chao wasn’t particularly angry. After all, how could he not be delighted to see such a lively monkey show.
“Captain Liu, don’t you think this elderly lady should go to Hengdian to develop her acting career? It seems like she’s a bit wasted here!”
