Chapter 214: Is it not possible to just talk out a misunderstanding

"Seriously, sisters, some men are just too calculating. I'm sharing my experience to help everyone avoid these pitfalls."

"My takeout was stolen, I called the police, and they said they couldn't find the person. So, I went and took someone else's takeout."

"Yes, I admit I was in the wrong, but what about them? You know what they did? They deliberately left their takeout outside."

"Then they set up cameras in a hidden spot, specifically to film me taking the takeout. Yes, they didn't even warn me while I was taking it!"

"Instead, they waited until I had taken it three times, until I was about to be arrested and sent to jail, and only then did they call the police!"

"Honestly, I have never seen such calculating men. They say my stealing takeout caused them trouble, but are they dead? Couldn't they have come out earlier to warn me?"

"If even one person had come out and said something to me, how could I have possibly continued to take it?"

"Such a terrifying man, really, he has already given me psychological trauma. Now, whenever I close my eyes, I see that sinister grin he had when he called the police. I go to jail, they are very happy—this is society today..."

With Li Hua's practiced writing, an article was quickly produced, and soon, Li Hua posted it on the Big Green Book.

This was her usual "tree hole" where she knew many sisters, and everyone usually came here to vent about things.

Of course, they would also show off their good things, like a bag, or going to a famous tea restaurant for afternoon tea.

More often, it was everyone venting about things in life, like what kind of "average but confident" men they had encountered in their daily lives.

Li Hua was naturally a regular here; she had already vented about her boyfriend many times before.

The most common complaint was that he wasn't manly at all!

Now she wanted to say that her boyfriend didn't act like a man at all; when she was surrounded by so many people, he didn't come up to help, but instead asked her what was going on.

You're asking me about this situation? Are you even my boyfriend!

Along with some more venting about her boyfriend, Li Hua posted it all under her screen name "Hua Hua Beautiful".

This was just venting, and Li Hua didn't feel like it was anything.

As for whether she had a Suspended Sentence or not, honestly, Li Hua didn't feel it; she just knew she was fine now.

Yeah, if you aren't in jail, what kind of problem is that?

Besides, she was living very well every day now. After this incident, her father felt even more sorry for her, and the money flowed in like water.

Other than having to undergo Community Correction every week and not being able to leave Jingzhou City, everything else was fine.

However, her father said he was already thinking of ways to see if she could leave Jingzhou City; it just required approval from the supervisory agency.

And the reason for doing this was that Li Guoliang felt his daughter seemed to have a tendency toward depression after her time in the Detention House.

So she had to be well taken care of, and it would be best if she could go out for a trip to clear her mind.

The article was posted, and Li Hua quickly saw the replies from her "friends".

"There are actually such ruthless men? Is he only happy if he gets someone sent to jail? Too terrifying."

"Such a man deserves to die! Don't be angry, Hua Hua, as long as you're okay. Do you know what company he's from? Let's make him suffer Social Death!"

"Right, do you have any other information? Post it and make him suffer Social Death. I don't believe there's nowhere to reason in this world!"

"Nobody cares when Hua Hua's takeout is stolen, but they arrest people immediately when those people's takeout is stolen. Is this discrimination? Hua Hua, go file a complaint against them!"

Reply after reply popped up, making Li Hua feel that her mood had been comforted.

In reality, no one listened to what she said; she said her takeout was stolen first, so why arrest only her and not the others?

The result was a reply saying there was indeed no evidence at the time.

This made Li Hua very dissatisfied. My things were stolen, and I have to provide you with evidence?

Of course, filing a complaint or whatever was better left alone; after all, she was still a bit timid in reality, but it was different on the internet.

She had heard before that many people were arrested for Internet Violence, but this wasn't Internet Violence.

She was just stating her actual situation and venting a little; was even that not allowed?

Looking at the replies from her little sisters below, Li Hua quickly replied: "I don't know what that man's name is, but I know his company's name, it's called Tengda Company."

"I'll go take a photo at their company later."

Li Hua replied to the messages just like that. She didn't realize that under the various comments, her mindset, which had originally just been to vent, was becoming increasingly extreme.

I only made a small mistake, but they wanted to drive me to ruin, and they did it with calculated intent!

They must be made to suffer Social Death.

Thus, the popularity of the article grew higher and higher, and the comments became more and more numerous.

However, after all, it was on the Big Green Book, which was actually just a small circle; it was very difficult to break out of it.

But not breaking out didn't mean the popularity wasn't high.

After playing with her phone for a whole day and venting for a whole day, Li Hua finally put the phone down, feeling that the anger in her heart had finally been released a little.

Everything was so harmonious.

In Lincheng, the Police Station where Guan Yan filed the report was conducting a corresponding review.

Like Zhou Yi's report from before, that had been prepared with extremely detailed materials and evidence; one could say that just by reviewing the jurisdiction, a Case Filing could be decided!

That was a situation that almost never happened in real life...

In fact, many people go to report a crime just holding the evidence they have, like Guan Yan, to report it.

Therefore, it requires the relevant departments to conduct a review before deciding whether to proceed with a Case Filing!

And now, the review work had already begun.

The most important question was actually whether these five thousand yuan were a demanded compensation, or money demanded with the intent of illegal possession after committing Extortion.

And in fact, the relevant comrades made the decision to proceed with a Case Filing after the review, and the root cause lay in the latter few sentences.

Threatening the other party by saying, "This is a crime, and if I call the police, you'll be in big trouble."

The evidence required for a Case Filing review certainly doesn't have to be completely exhaustive, otherwise, there wouldn't be an investigation stage.

Generally speaking, a Case Filing review examines three points: whether a criminal fact has occurred, whether it is necessary to pursue criminal responsibility, and whether it falls under their jurisdiction.

So, one day later, Guan Yan received the Notice of Case Filing.

At the same time, the comrades handling the case had already arrived at the hospital to begin their investigation. Here, they needed to investigate one thing: whether the five thousand yuan was indeed the compensation the other party claimed it was.

This point is very easy to investigate; one just needs to go directly to the hospital for verification, and thus evidence was obtained very quickly.

A child came in for an examination the day before yesterday due to chili poisoning, and the Medical Expenses were only a little over 1,100, which is still far from the standard of 5,000.

Moreover, the child was discharged immediately after receiving treatment that same day.

Consequently, the relevant case officers decided to summon Guan Yan's neighbor, the man named Zhang Guohua.

At this very moment, at home, Zhang Guohua was busy in the living room, while nearby, his son Xiong Xiong was playing in front of his grandparents.

"Guohua, you tell me, how are you looking after the child? How could you let the child eat so much chili!"

"It's fortunate that Xiong Xiong is fine this time; you're such a grown man, how can you be so careless!"

Zhang Guohua's father was continuously reprimanding his son.

And at this time, Xiong Xiong was making faces nearby.

That he could have his current personality is inseparable from his grandparents.

The Zhang family has had only one heir for several generations; this is the only seedling, so he must be taken good care of.

Being an only heir, plus the affection between grandparents and grandchildren, Xiong Xiong was practically the apple of the family's eye, and he could not be allowed to suffer the slightest grievance under normal circumstances.

In the entire family, probably only Zhang Guohua's wife thought about disciplining Xiong Xiong, but unfortunately, every time she just said a few words, he would go straight to his grandparents.

The old couple would immediately say that the child is still young and there is no need to talk to him; he would become sensible on his own when he grows up.

Regarding this, Zhang Guohua's wife could only give up.

As a result, he actually ended up in the hospital the day before yesterday because of this matter.

This caused the old folks to give Zhang Guohua a good scolding.

Zhang Guohua could only listen; fortunately, not only did he not spend money on this hospitalization, but he also earned a lot, which made him very happy.

He had done this before, also regarding his son.

The purpose was for what? It was just to get more money; even if a medical visit cost a few hundred, he had to demand thousands from others.

He did not think there was anything wrong with this; what's wrong with that? You made my son like that, and just paying the Medical Expenses is enough?

You must pay more money as compensation!

The day before yesterday, he was just scaring that young girl; she was just a working girl renting a room anyway, and she didn't understand anything.

He just said this was a crime and that he would call the police and have the other party go to jail, and as a result, she just gave him the money directly.

Well, there was no help for it; who told you not to understand.

At this very moment, knock, knock, knock, the door was knocked.

"Guohua, go open the door, see who's here."

Zhang Guohua hurried forward to open the door, while asking in his mouth: "Hello, who is it? Coming, coming, stop knocking."

The door opened, and he saw several police officers standing in front of him.

Zhang Guohua asked with some confusion: "Comrades, who are you looking for?"

The leader, Lao Xu, stepped forward and looked him over, then said: "You are Zhang Guohua, right? ID number..."

Huh? What is this situation?

Zhang Guohua hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying: "I am Zhang Guohua. No, comrades, is there something going on?"

"Zhang Guohua, I am a police officer from the Linyu Road Police Station. Because you are suspected of Extortion, I am now summoning you back to accept an investigation in accordance with the law. This is my identification."

As he spoke, Lao Xu pointed to his chest and said: "This is my police badge number."

What is this situation? Zhang Guohua was stunned; how did this become Extortion, and he had to go back to accept an investigation?

That's not right, this isn't right!

"Comrade, comrade, wait a minute, I, I didn't commit Extortion, I didn't do anything."

He didn't even know what he had extorted!

On the sofa, Zhang Guohua's parents, the two old people, also hurried over and asked: "That's right, comrade, what's wrong with him? Why are you arresting him?"

Only Xiong Xiong stood there, not quite understanding what the situation was.

"I'm sorry, the case is currently under investigation. Now, please come back with us to accept an investigation!"

"Guohua, speak up! What on earth did you do? How could they arrest you for no reason? What did you do!" Zhang Guohua's father shouted.

"I don't know, I don't know anything, I just... eh, is it the money from that Guan Yan downstairs?"

"But I didn't commit Extortion there! I was just asking her for Medical Expenses; that's impossible!"

"That girl downstairs? No, what's going on, comrade? Why don't you wait, call the girl downstairs up here; this must be a misunderstanding, and it will be fine once we clarify it."

Zhang Guohua's father said again.

The case officer Lao Xu had already waved his hand and said: "Comrade, please cooperate with our work."

As he spoke, the Handcuffs had already been taken out. Seeing this, the entire Zhang family instantly became obedient.

It is still the same saying: if they summon you during the investigation stage, then they are summoning you; they will not explain it to you, and they certainly won't talk to you about any misunderstandings.

Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, after the investigation, if there is no evidence to prove a crime, the case will be closed directly, which is to say, the Case Filing will be revoked.

Everything in the Public Security Department has its legal procedures, and there are requirements for what must be done in every procedure.

However, many people do not understand the concept of Case Filing and investigation, and they feel as if everything will be fine once things are clarified.

Thus, Zhang Guohua could only helplessly follow them downstairs.

His parents could no longer worry about their grandson; how did things turn into this?

No, he had to go find that girl downstairs, the one named Guan Yan; he had to go find her and ask why things had to reach this situation now.

Zhang Guohua's father went downstairs and began to knock on the door.

"Open the door, open the door, you come out, come out and explain what's going on!"

While knocking on the door and shouting, there was no movement from Guan Yan inside, but instead, other neighbors came out.

"What's going on, Lao Zhang? Why are you knocking on the door like that?"

A neighbor asked.

Because Zhang Guohua's father was no longer knocking on the door, but smashing it.

"I don't know either. My son was just taken away by the police for something called Extortion, and he said it had to do with the woman downstairs."

"I just came down to ask; what could be so serious that it couldn't be talked out properly? How did it get to this point, tell me."

"We're all neighbors; you could have just come up and knocked on the door to talk, but you had to call the police!"

The neighbor heard this and said, "Fine, but keep the noise down; it's not like things are clear yet."

Inside the room, Guan Yan was playing on her phone; she heard the commotion outside, but she didn't want to go out.

Judging by the situation, someone had likely already been arrested; she had realized this might happen long before she called the police.

But she didn't go out, and the commotion outside grew louder and louder until, finally, she couldn't help it anymore.

Getting her phone ready to record, Guan Yan finally pulled the door open.

A Yi taught in his videos that no matter what kind of situation you encounter, the first thing to remember is to keep evidence!

"What are you all doing? If you smash the door, are you going to pay for it?"

Lao Zhang outside the door saw Guan Yan and shouted, "If I smash it, I'll pay! So what? Just tell me, was it you who called the police on my son!"

"It was me who called the police. Your son threatened me, saying if I didn't give him money, he'd sue me and send me to jail. So why shouldn't I call the police!"

Guan Yan retorted.

However, she didn't expect that the old man opposite wouldn't listen to these explanations at all.

"We're all neighbors, do you have to be like this? How can your heart be so venomous? Did you really have to call the police? Couldn't you have come up to talk about it?"

Well, Guan Yan realized now that this was another line from A Yi's videos.

Some people are just not capable of being reasoned with; the moment you say one extra word to them, you've already lost.

Thinking of this, Guan Yan turned her head and was about to go back inside, but she didn't expect the old couple outside to follow her in as well.
