Chapter 1003

"What are you doing?!"

Xu Hongdou gave a cold laugh: "I'll give you three seconds to make your son pick up the wig and hat from the ground and hand them to my friend—otherwise!"

Xu Hongdou lifted her foot slightly as if to step down.

The middle-aged woman trembled and whispered to her son: "Baby, be good, pick up the hat and wig and give them back to the lady, okay?"

"No! I won't!"

The little boy resisted fiercely, avoiding Xu Hongdou's eyes, thrashing in his mother's arms: "I won't! They hit me! That bitch kicked me!"

Chen Nanxing's face darkened: "Kid, if you insult someone again, do you think I won't tear out your tongue?!"

The boy panicked: "Mom, Mom, they hit me, they bullied me, they're all bad people, they're all bastards!"

Chen Nanxing frowned and stepped forward.

The cinema manager below sighed helplessly: "Alright, alright, you've hit them, you've yelled at them—can't you just let it go? He's just a child!"

What the fuck?!

The manager's words left both Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing stunned.

Even the bystanders around them were speechless.

A man standing far away rose up, angrily saying: "He's just a child?! What kind of child is this?! I saw it all—he was the one who yanked the girl's hat and wig off, she politely asked him to return them, his parents acted like they were dead and didn't say a word, and then this kid stomped on her hat and wig!"

After one man stood up,

many others began speaking up for Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing:

"Exactly! We all saw it—he's not a child, he's a little monster!"

"This girl has cancer, she barely gets to go out with a friend to watch a movie, and this kid insults her like this—beating him is too gentle!"

"This brat has no manners, no upbringing, born without a soul—he'll get run over by a car someday!"

"I warn you: I know your cinema has surveillance, so don't even think about taking sides. When the police arrive, we'll testify for the girl—this family deserves to be beaten!"

"Exactly! Don't let them leave—police are coming any minute, we're all backing the girl!"

"It's a miracle this family's still alive—if this had happened two years ago, they wouldn't even know how they died!"

Other viewers kept shouting one after another, leaving the cinema manager utterly speechless.

The middle-aged woman, seeing this, had been ready to turn and curse back at the crowd,

but now,

Xu Hongdou was coldly watching every move she made,

so she could only blush furiously and endure the insults, daring not to move.

Two minutes and forty-seven seconds later,

two police officers—a man and a woman—strode into the theater.

The man was Li Dawei, the woman was Xia Jie.

After the police station received the report and learned it was merely a civil dispute,

Li Dawei's Master had sent him and Xia Jie to handle it.

The moment they appeared in the theater,

the middle-aged woman seized them as her lifeline and screamed, clutching her child: "Officers! You have to protect us!"

"Them! It's them! They knocked out my husband, injured me, and beat my son!"

"My son is only twelve—he's still a child! How could these people be so cruel, targeting a child?! Officers, arrest them right away! We're pressing charges! I want them locked up!"

The moment the woman finished speaking,

the audience immediately shouted back,

"Officers, don't listen to her—she's lying, her son deserved it!"

"Officers, they got what they deserved—we can testify, we're all witnesses…"
