âWell?â another police officer asked.
The policeman who was examining Hagen said, âHeâs injured.â Hagen immediately cried out.
âMy abdomen is injured, too.
This is the footprint he left on my clothesâ¦â Then, Hagen lifted his clothes again and touched his abdomen and then his ribs.
âThese are all injured from the kick.
It hurtsâ¦â âWhatâs the matter?â A police officer seriously glanced at Preston and the other people.
Just as Preston was about to speak, Trevor said, âItâs not whoever cries loudly is right.â âDare you say that didnât hit me?â Hagen glared at Trevor with bloodshot eyes.
âI hit you!â Trevor said.
Hagen seemed to have caught Trevor in the act.
He said excitedly to the police, âGentlemen, listen.
He admitted it.â The police officers frowned and looked at Trevor.
One of them asked, âDid you do it?â âYes, I did,â Trevor replied.
âWhy did you do it?â the police officer asked solemnly.
âIt was self-defense,â Trevor said.
Hagen shouted, âGentlemen, look at my injuries.
Look at my abdomen and my hand.
Is there such self-defense? First, you kicked me, causing me to bump into that table.
The table hasnât been cleaned up just now.
The table overturned, and everything on the table fell to the ground.
Not only did you kick me, but you also broke my hand with a plate.
Hiss⦠I get scared just thinking about what happened.
Gentlemen, fortunately, you are here.
Otherwise, Iâm afraid I would have died here.â âIs what he said the truth?â The police officer looked at Trevor and then at Preston.
âNo, it isnât!â Trevor said.
Hagen shouted again, âSir, of course, he wonât admit it.
Even if a thief steals something, he wonât admit it! Please ask him whether he kicked me and whether he broke my hand.
This is a crime of intentional assaultâ¦â The manager and two waitresses of Jotcham Clubhouse were also present.
One of the waitresses was the one who had been pushed down by Hagen.
The police officer looked around and asked, âDid any of you see it?â âNo, I didnât,â the manager immediately said diplomatically.
At the same time, the waitress pushed down by Hagen said, âYes, I did.â The manager immediately reached out and pulled her.
The police looked at the waitress, asking, âWhat did you see? Please tell us the truth.â The waitress glanced at Hagen and said, âI didnât see anything when he was being kicked.
However, his hand was injured because he rushed over and pushed me before scolding that gentlemanâ¦â Pointing at Preston, the waitress continued, âWhile scolding him, he was taking a coffee pot, trying to hit it against the gentlemanâs head.â Then she pointed at Trevor and said, âIn a moment of desperation, this gentleman immediately threw a plate over and hit his wrist.
The coffee pot fell to the ground and his wrist was injured.â The waiter pointed here and there, but the people heard her clearly.
âDo you two have a personal grudge?â a police officer asked Hagen.
Hagen cried out.
âYes, we do.
He caused my elder sister to go to prison.â Preston said calmly, âYour elder sister only has herself to blame for going to prison.
Your brother-in-law is here now.
You can ask him.â While speaking, Preston looked at Jared mockingly.
Jared said with a fair expression, âHagen, youâre too impulsive.
Your elder sisterâs imprisonment indeed has nothing to do with Preston.â He looked at Preston again.
âBut you went too far by hiring someone to hurt Hagen.â Upon hearing what Jared had said, Lianne became worried and said coldly, âWhy are you spouting nonsense? Who hired someone to hurt someone else? Trevor is my boyfriend, and these are his friends.
We came here, wanting to have a good lunchâ¦â She pointed at Hagen.
âThe moment he came out, he rushed over and attacked.â When Trevor heard Lianne say that he was her boyfriend, he gave Lianne a strange look.
Preston said to the police, âGentlemen, please check the surveillance video, which will show clearly whoâs right and whoâs wrong.â Jared immediately gave David a look.
David laughed and said, âHey, Preston, Hagen, for my sake, let this matter go.â Hagen didnât want to accept Davidâs suggestion.
âWhy? Iâve been beaten up so badly.
They have to apologize to me publicly and compensate me for the medical fees.â Preston said coldly, âThis is my request, too.
I need you, Hagen Shann, to apologize to me publicly and compensate me for the mental damage.â
Seeing that the two sides were in a deadlock, the police immediately said that they would check the surveillance video.
The manager of the clubhouse immediately cooperated.
The people concerned moved to the surveillance room.
Those people that had gathered in the lobby since the moment the fighting started dispersed.
People in modern society were more impetuous than before.
In the past, when there was a fight, many people would try to stop it.
Nowadays, when there was a fight, people would run faster than a rabbit, afraid of getting into trouble.
When the people concerned arrived at the surveillance room, the employee working there.
immediately opened the video from half an hour ago.
In the video, Preston and the others walked into the clubhouse while chatting and laughing.
Then, they found seats in the lobby and sat down.
A waitress came over to serve them coffee.
Then, Hagen came out of the VIP room, talked on the phone, and lunged at Preston.
Trevor then kicked Hagen.
The police officers frowned while watching the video.
On the screen, Trevor indeed kicked Hagen.
However, Hagen was wearing a fierce expression while he was charging straight at Preston.
Although Preston didnât kick Hagen, Trevor didnât take the initiative to hurt Hagen.
After that, Preston and his people started pouring and drinking coffee again.
Then, Hagen grabbed a coffee pot and was about to smash Preston.
Lianne was about to block the pot for Preston, but Trevor threw a plate at Hagenâs hand⦠One 22-
year-old police officer who had just graduated from the police academy this year had yet to undergo the polishing of the workplace.
He was outspoken and hated evil.
While watching Trevor doing so, he said, âFuck! Thatâs a beautiful move! Great!â Other people turned to look at him.
The police officer suddenly realized that he shouldnât have said these words.
He awkwardly reached out to touch his nose, saying, âWell, I mean that heâs good at fighting.â A police officer glanced at Hagen and said solemnly, âWe know what happened now.
You were the one who attacked firstâ¦â âSir, I didnât attack! Youâve watched the surveillance video.
I was the one who was beaten up.â âYes, you were the one who was beaten up, but you were the one who attacked first,â the 22-year-old police officer said.
He said to Hagen in his heart, âFortunately, the gentleman is good at fighting.
Otherwise, the other gentleman would be bullied by you.
You are weak though you like to cause trouble.â The leader of the police said, âI want you all to go to the police station and take a statement.â Seeing this, Jared said, âSir, this is actually a family matter.
This is my wifeâs younger brother, and this is my son.
Thereâs a misunderstanding between them.
We can resolve it ourselves.â
