He knew there was a pocket on the side of the wallet. Liu Yu put the money there.

One thousand eight hundred yuan, a thick pile, Tao Jingxuan took the banknotes out of his wallet very quickly, put them into his pocket, and then pretended to open the wallet, claiming that the money inside was missing.

He knew that Liu Yu would never doubt him.

Although the staff of the cinema were right next to him, Zhang Xiaoru was standing to the side with Liu Yu in between, so he should not be able to see his movements.

Tao Jingxuan never thought about relying on Wang Jianming all the time. According to his thinking, this matter would definitely be a fuss for a while. Wang Jianming would definitely not admit it anyway. At worst, if he yelled a few words and stood up to persuade Liu Yu, the matter would be settled.

But he never expected that after both parties came out of the screening room, Zhang Xiaoru immediately called and told the manager on duty about the matter. The theater took it very seriously and called both parties involved to the office, and the manager on duty also called the police.

This is a normal approach, but it is not the result Tao Jingxuan wants.

The police are here.

Big trouble.

Hu Pingtao looked at him and asked seriously: "Have you thought about it? Will you take the initiative to take out the money? Or will you follow me back to the police station to handle it?"

"I..." Tao Jingxuan felt that it was difficult to speak, as if there was a stone in his throat. He just said the word "I" and fell into silence.

Liu Yu looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes: "The money in the bag... was really yours?"

Tao Jingxuan wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

"Xiaoyu, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think." He searched his mind and finally came up with a barely suitable reason: "I'm worried that the money I put on you has been lost again. After all, my wallet has been lost once. If

Again……"

"Okay." Hu Pingtao waved his hand in disgust from the side and said bluntly: "Whether the money is lost or not, that is someone else's business and you don't need to worry about it. Let me ask you, do you want to resolve it privately or not?

Follow the procedure and go to the police station?"

The value of the case involved is less than 3,000, so it is best to resolve the civil dispute.

"It's private." Tao Jingxuan hurriedly replied: "I'm willing to be private."

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "If you want to keep it private, you must first ask for the other party's consent. You kept saying before that they took the cash in the wallet, and now that things have turned out like this, tell yourself, what should you do?"

"I apologize." Tao Jingxuan responded quickly. He quickly turned to Wang Jianming: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Liu Yu bit her lip and looked at him, feeling that many beautiful things in her heart suddenly collapsed.

Zhang Xiaoru did not intend to let Tao Jingxuan go just like this. She raised her eyebrows, put her left hand on her waist and shouted angrily: "Why are you so shameless? You obviously stole your girlfriend's money, but you bit her back.

You also brought me in. Do you think I am easy to bully, my aunt? Let me tell you: If you don’t have an explanation today, I will make you walk around in pain!"

Tao Jingxuan has been suppressing the anger in his heart. In fact, what he is really afraid of is Liu Yu and Hu Pingtao. Wang Jianming can basically ignore them. As for Zhang Xiaoru... in his eyes, he is just a part-time worker and does not pose a threat at all.

Raising his hand to adjust his glasses, Tao Jingxuan responded unhappily: "What do you want?"

Zhang Xiaoru speaks quickly and has a unique idea: "Is it enough to just apologize? You must compensate us for our losses."

"What did you say?" Tao Jingxuan's heart tightened again. He was most afraid of problems related to the word "money", and his voice suddenly became louder: "What loss do you have? Why do you want me to compensate? I'm warning you,

Don’t talk nonsense!”

Zhang Xiaoru said coldly: "You delayed me for more than two hours and I couldn't get to work. The daily work in the cinema requires punching in, especially in our ticket checking business. Every time we work, every time counts. Now I have a total of

If I don’t check the tickets for two games, today’s work will be in vain. You must compensate me for my economic losses.”

"And them." As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoru raised her finger and pointed at Wang Jianming, who was standing diagonally opposite: "The two of them spent money to buy tickets to watch the movie. They couldn't watch the movie because of you making such a fuss. A movie ticket costs seventy-five yuan.

, two pieces are one hundred and fifty, you have to return this money to others, and also give them a certain degree of spiritual compensation."

Tao Jingxuan was furious, shocked and angry, and couldn't help but yell: "Smelly bitch, you are crazy about money! You...you...why are you doing this?"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoru immediately turned to Hu Pingtao: "Officer, you've seen it too. With his attitude, why do you want to mediate? I have nothing to say to him, so I'd better take him directly to the police station and deal with him as I should.

"

Wang Jianming also reacted and assisted from the side: "Yes, I have the same opinion. Forget about mediation, he has no attitude of admitting his mistake at all. He framed me for stealing money! Why should I let him go for nothing?"

Zhang Xiaoru shouted sternly: "You don't want to pay, do you? Let's go to the police station. I don't want the money anymore. I have to send you to the detention center today."

Tao Jingxuan's heart was full of fear, but his expression was fierce and he argued to himself: "...you think I'm afraid!"

Hu Pingtao listened and laughed and shook his head: "I have never seen anyone as brave as you. Do you think you don't have to worry about anything after entering the detention center?"

Long Xu also frowned and said to Tao Jingxuan: "After you enter the detention center, you will have a bad foundation. You will not be able to take the public examination in the future, and you will not be able to enter state-owned enterprises. In some special circumstances, you will not even be able to pass the political examination."

Hu Pingtao spoke very seriously: "Don't think this is a trivial matter, it will affect your children in the future. You will definitely not be able to enter government kindergartens, and you will not be able to go to key primary schools, let alone high schools. There are also military academies and police academies.

Reporting is limited, and even if you take out a loan to buy a house, the bank will raise objections to your credit report.”

Tao Jingxuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he opened his mouth, unable to say a word.

Hu Pingtao advised him sincerely: "Don't have so many messy thoughts in your life. A single thought often leads to big mistakes. To be honest, I am not willing to send you to a detention center. After all, there is one more tainted person in the society. This

Not a good thing."

Tao Jingxuan lowered his head and remained silent.

Hu Pingtao continued: "You should honestly admit your mistake to others! Your attitude must be sincere and you must obtain the other party's understanding."

Hu Pingtao raised his head with a complicated expression.

After a long while, he faced Wang Jianming and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry."

Then Zhang Xiaoru: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

…

After coming out of the cinema and getting on the electric car, Cui Wen asked mysteriously: "Boss, do you think this man... Tao Jingxuan, will his girlfriend break up with him because of this?"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "From your tone, you are gloating about others' misfortune, right?"

Cui Wen quickly explained: "Boss, where are you thinking? I just watched Tao Jingxuan admit his mistake at the end, and his girlfriend didn't look very good."

Long Xu interjected: "I think there is a high probability that we broke up. If I put myself in my shoes, my boyfriend would steal my money... Haha, can we still have fun together in the future?"

Hu Pingtao looked solemn: "No matter what we do, this matter has taught Tao Jingxuan a profound lesson. What will happen between him and Liu Yu in the future is beyond our control and we cannot control it. In a word————

We are all adults and must be responsible for what we have done."

…

Back at the institute, Hu Pingtao received a call from his sister.

"Xiaohu, you really guessed what happened yesterday." Hu Biyuan said on the phone: "Chief Sun is still very responsible, and he did put in the effort to help Mr. Shao. But even he himself didn't expect that he would sign up

There is also Shao Zhiwei as a reference. The two have the same education and look similar. The key is that they have no background."

Hu Pingtao was not interested in this matter, but after all, it was his sister who called. He couldn't hang up, so he had to listen patiently, and then asked: "What should the ICBC do now?"

"How else can we deal with it? Of course we can only accept the status quo!" Hu Biyuan's tone was obviously a little funny: "It's quite interesting to say that it is really unintentional. Don't even think about Mr. Shao's son now. It's really

What a mistake!"

Hu Pingtao asked: "Didn't Shao Xiaoping give a favor of 200,000 yuan to Sun? How to calculate this account?"

Hu Biyuan said: "Sun Chu has returned the money to Mr. Shao, and Mr. Shao didn't blame him."

Hu Pingtao commented without saltiness: "So this is all fate, God has arranged it early in the morning. Just like the opening chapter of the "Nine Yin Manual": The way of heaven, if there is more damage, make up for the deficiency."

Hu Biyuan complained: "Hey, what are you talking about!"

Hu Pingtao didn't want to make a long speech: "Sister, I'm still busy here! Hang up first!"

…

The next day, at around 4 p.m., I received a call from the police.

Hu Pingtao took Long Xu and Cui Wen to the "Dewen Castle" community.

I don’t know since when, newly developed real estates like to have foreign names. In fact, the registration information of Devon Castle with the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau is not called this name, but "Time Garden". However, when signing the contract for the sale of the house, it is

The name is "Devon Castle".

In February this year, the province issued a document requiring that all real estate with foreign names be rectified and must restore their Chinese names. However, the real estate advertisements have been out for a long time, and everyone only knows "Dewen Castle" and has no idea about "Time Garden".

.

The door of Building 2201, Building 11, was open. As soon as Hu Pingtao stepped out of the elevator, he heard fierce yelling coming from the room.

"Whether it's money or your life, it's up to you."

"Why are you like this? If you don't repay the loan, aren't you being a rogue!"

"What's wrong with me being a scoundrel? You call the police and arrest me!"

"Don't be mean to me. I've already called 110. The police will be here soon."

"What will happen if the police come? If you say you have no money, you have no money. If you want to force me again, believe it or not, I will jump down from the building to show you?"

"Why are you being unreasonable?"

"Am I being unreasonable, or are you being unreasonable?"

Hu Pingtao sped up and rushed into the room, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time.

I saw a man holding a kitchen knife in his hand, glaring angrily at the middle-aged man standing opposite.

A woman stood next to her and grabbed the knife-wielding man's arm. It looked like the two were husband and wife.
