484 Take Him Away
Lu Benwei was waiting for the train in the waiting hall.
Qi Tianci had interrupted him, so he did not have the time for a warm meal. He could only buy a bag of bread at the supermarket in the waiting hall and munch on it.
When he was almost done eating, there was only half an hour left before he could get on the train.
Lu Benwei wiped his mouth, dusted his hands, and prepared to line up.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him. Someone behind him said excitedly, âHeâs beating someone up! Heâs beating someone up! Go and take a look!â
The group of people squeezed forward.
Lu Benwei had no intention of joining the crowd, but there were too many people behind him who wanted to watch the show, so he was pushed forward.
However, when he got closer, Lu Benwei saw a middle-aged man beating up the beggar who had stolen Lu Benweiâs wallet.
As he punched his face, he scolded, âYou old thing, how dare you steal my things!â
The old beggar wailed and begged with a trembling voice, âI didnât steal your wallet! Youâre accusing me!â
Lu Benwei was amused.
âThis old man deserves it!â
âWhen the police uncle comes later, I want my wallet back too!â
The middle-aged man kept waving his fists. âYou were right next to me just now, and now my wallet is missing. Who else could it be but you?!â
The surrounding spectators showed no mercy.
âThieves these days are too godly. They can steal a personâs wallet in a flash!â
âThis person is so old, but heâs so shameless!â
The middle-aged man saw that he had the upper hand, so he swung his fists even more vigorously.
âQuick, give me back my wallet!â
âI didnât take it!â
The old beggar continued to quibble.
The middle-aged man did not give up and began to search the old beggarâs body!
After searching, the middle-aged man was puzzled. Strange, whereâs my wallet?â
The old beggar wiped his tears and said, âI already said I didnât steal it, but you still hit me!â
The situation was reversed, and everyone turned to look at the burly man.
âImpossible!â The burly man was stunned. âI just saw him here!â
Seeing that the time was right, the old beggarâs eyes turned slyly. He first glanced at the crowd and saw Lu Benwei.
âGrandson, someone is bullying me!â
The old beggar kneeled and crawled to Lu Benweiâs feet. He grabbed his pants and stood up, almost pulling off Lu Benweiâs pants.
âGrandson, Iâm being bullied.â
The old beggar grabbed Lu Benweiâs arm, tears streaming down his face!
Lu Benwei was speechless. He grabbed the old beggarâs hand and tried to break free.
âYou old man, Iâm not your grandson!â
Unexpectedly!
The old beggarâs cries became even more sorrowful. âGrandson, why are you so unfilial? I raised you single-handedly! Why donât you acknowledge me anymore?!â
His cries were mournful. Everyone seemed to see the old beggarâs miserable helplessness and unfilial grandson.
The railway patrol was quickly attracted over.
âMake way, make way!â
âPatrol!â
A man and a woman came over aggressively.
The surrounding people immediately dispersed to make way for the two policemen.
âWhat happened?â
The male policeman was fat, but his voice was full of energy when he spoke.
The middle-aged man whose wallet was stolen pointed at the old beggar and said, âHe stole my wallet, so I beat him up.â
The male constable glanced at the old beggar and then berated the middle-aged man, âHe stole your wallet, so you can hit him?â
âThis old man is at least seventy if not eighty. Are you going to take responsibility if you kill him?â
The middle-aged manâs expression stiffened. He felt somewhat speechless and turned his head away.
Then, with his hands behind his back, the male inspector scanned Lu Benwei from head to toe. âWhatâs wrong with you?â
âThis old man wants to fish in troubled waters, so he insists that Iâm his grandson.â Lu Benwei shrugged.
At this moment, the old beggar started crying again. âGrandson, why donât you acknowledge me anymore?â
âAlright, stop arguing!â the male inspector was a little impatient and said fiercely.
The old beggar was obedient and retracted his hand.
âAlright, youâve already hit him. Let him return your wallet to you and let this matter rest.â
The male inspector made a judgment that smoothed things over.
...
The middle-aged man muttered, looking very dissatisfied, âGive the wallet back to me,â the man said to the old beggar, âWe wonât hold you responsible.â
âI told you, I didnât take it!â
âWhat?â
The male inspector was slightly stunned.
âDid you find anything when you searched me just now?â the old beggar said again, with an unforgiving look, âYou even hit me. Let me tell you, this matter wonât end without a million or eight hundred thousand yuan!â
âBullshit!â The middle-aged man was anxious and reached out to hit the old beggar!
âAlright, alright. Are you treating me like I donât exist?â The male inspector immediately pressed down on the middle-aged man.
âAre you sure this old man stole your wallet?â
The middle-aged man raised his right hand. âInspector, I swear on my ancestors and descendants that this old man stole my wallet!â
âAlright, alright.â The male inspector waved his hand impatiently.
Then, he said to the crowd, âAre there any witnesses?â
...
Many people raised their hands and saw the old beggar take the manâs wallet. With a witness, this matter was clear.
However, the old beggar was still resisting. âNonsense, I didnât!â
âAlright, alright. You two, come with me!â the male inspector said patiently.
âFine!â The old beggar was fearless.
âWhen we get to the police station, Iâll strip you of your clothes. You canât hide anything!â the middle-aged man said fiercely.
After walking for a while, the male inspector suddenly stopped. âLittle brother, could it be that this old man placed it on you?â
Lu Benwei thought that it was possible. Hence, he searched his entire body.
âNo!â Lu Benwei said with certainty.
The male inspector nodded and continued to lead the two of them forward.
The onlookers also returned to their seats in satisfaction.
At this moment, the female inspector suddenly said, âCould that young man be in cahoots with this old man?â
The male inspector stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said to Lu Benwei, âCome with me too.â
Lu Benwei was a little confused and showed his ticket. âMy train will be here soon.â
âThatâs right!â The male inspector smiled.
âThatâs right. Iâve seen too many of these tricks! Anyway, youâre also a suspect. Come with me!â
Lu Benwei was helpless and cursed in his heart.
Ever since he met this old beggar, nothing good had come knocking on his door.
First, he was cheated of five yuan, and then his wallet was stolen.
Later, he ran into the Qi family, causing him to miss his meal. Now that he was being taken to the police station for questioning, he would miss the train.
