703 Paying Compensation

“Alright, Auntie, please don’t worry. Let’s first bring the other party forward, and both sides can clarify the situation before we make a final judgment.” The police seemed a bit helpless. Pan Hua was old, and her voice was piercingly sharp. Listening to her talk for too long caused a ringing sensation in their ears, making it difficult for their brains to function properly.

Mei Ye also felt embarrassed by Pan Hua’s behavior. He quickly pulled her aside and whispered, “Officer, I believe you will enforce the law strictly! By the way, before you arrived, Old Chen should have briefed you, right? I’ve been good friends with Old Chen for decades!”

“You mean Captain Chen?” The two police officers exchanged glances. “But we’re not under Captain Chen’s command. Captain Chen is an old detective and doesn’t handle these matters.”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter. As long as you know about the relationship between me and Old Chen!” Mei Ye pulled the two policemen warmly and even handed them two cigarettes.

The police waved their hands, “Uncle, we can’t accept this. Let’s first talk to the other party.”

With that, they walked to the front desk politely. “Hello, we’re here to investigate a civil dispute. Can you tell us where the person who reported the incident is?”

The receptionists had wanted to speak to the police earlier, but Pan Hua’s loud voice had drowned out their attempts.

Now that the police had taken the initiative to approach them, they quickly said, “President Mei instructed us that as soon as you arrived, we should take you upstairs. President Mei’s office is on the top floor.”

“Alright, please lead the way,” the police said politely.

Seeing that they were reasonable and not colluding with Mei Ye, the receptionists relaxed a bit. “Okay, please follow me.”

Pan Hua assumed a posture of enjoying the show, smugly raising her eyebrows at Mei Ye. “Just wait and see, Mei Shu brought this upon herself. Let’s see what she has to say later!”

Upstairs.

The elevator doors opened with a “ding.”

The police went to the secretary’s desk and showed their police badges. “Hello, we’re here to investigate a case. Is Ms. Mei Shu, the person who reported the incident, here?”

Tang Mei quickly stood up. “Yes, please follow me.”

She knocked lightly on the office door and, after receiving a response from Mei Shu, pushed the door open and said, “President Mei, the police are here. I’ll make them some tea.”

“Go ahead.” Mei Shu put down the documents, stood up from behind her desk, and greeted them with a smile. “Officers, it’s really hard for you to come all this way. Please have a seat.”

She invited them to sit on the sofa. “I assume you’ve already heard what this elderly lady said before coming up?”

The police smiled somewhat awkwardly. “We’ve heard it once, but we can’t simply take one party’s word for it. We’d like to hear what Miss Mei has to say.”

Mei Shu nodded. “Actually, the situation is quite simple. This elderly lady caused a scene in my company today, intentionally breaking two valuable vases. Afterward, she spread rumors that my vases were worthless and refused to compensate. So, I had to ask you two to come and handle this matter fairly.” The police asked, “Miss Mei, do you still have the receipts for the vases?”

“Yes.” Mei Shu took out two stamped receipts and invoices in front of Pan Hua. Pan Hua’s eyes widened as she pointed at the receipts and exclaimed, “Officer, don’t believe her. These must be fake! After she called the police, she hid in her office alone. She must have forged these just now! Please don’t believe her!” “Auntie, we’ll verify the authenticity of the receipts and invoices ourselves. Please don’t worry,” the police reassured her while photographing the receipts and invoices and sending them back to the station for verification.

“Do you have surveillance footage of the incident?” Another police officer asked while taking notes.

“We do.” Mei Shu turned to Tang Mei.

After Tang Mei poured tea for the two officers, she took out her phone from her pocket and showed them the surveillance footage she had prepared earlier. “The company’s surveillance room has a complete video of the incident. If you need it, you can go over and make a copy anytime. This is the video the staff in the surveillance room sent me just now.”

“Alright, let me take a look first.” The police officers were cautious in their work. They carefully reviewed the complete surveillance footage of the incident on their phones and found that it completely contradicted what the old lady had just said about “accidentally breaking the vase.” Their mouths twitched involuntarily. “Alright, please provide me with a copy of the complete video, and I will verify on-site whether there are any issues with it.”

“Sure, please wait a moment.” Tang Mei made a phone call to her colleague in the monitoring room, and soon a complete segment of surveillance footage was transferred to the computer. “Please take a look.”

The police officer sat in front of the computer, carefully scrutinizing the footage once again to confirm its authenticity. After confirming that the video was genuine, he said, “Since there are no problems, we can now discuss the matter of compensation..”
