Chapter 1531: 1530 Innocent

Abiya had never imagined that the responsibility would suddenly fall upon him. He was the one who had been beaten the worst just now, so why weren’t the police speaking up for him, but instead sided with the two foreigners?

“I’m telling you, Abiya, if someone had died in your store today, then forget about operating your hotel ever again!” the police threatened, “And you better behave yourself. If I hear another complaint about you causing trouble, I’ll throw you in jail!”

Tan Rou heard the police’s words and once again felt how unreasonable the laws of Country J were. Being unmarried and pregnant could get you several years in jail, while those who fought and made trouble daily did not even face detention. It was outrageous.

“I… I don’t accept this!” Abiya shouted, “I want to complain about you!”

The police displayed an indifferent expression, “Suit yourself. If you want to complain about me, go ahead. I hope the chief has time to read your complaint letter!”

Abiya was no longer assertive, and said sadly, “Officer, we are from the same country, how can you side with outsiders? Look at my face and knees, they are all red and very painful!”

The police replied, “That’s because you are no match for others, so it serves you right to be beaten. Just don’t bother me anymore.”

“Oh my, what happened here?” a chubby man came running over, sweating profusely and panting as he spoke, “Officer, we… we are all good people…”

The police asked, “And who are you?”

The chubby man replied, “I’m the owner of this hotel.”

The police nodded slightly, “You’ve come at the right time. It’s necessary for you to know about what happened today. Your employee verbally insulted a female guest from abroad. The female guest’s husband couldn’t stand it and hit your employee. Unable to endure, your employee picked up a chair and fought back, ultimately losing, and even damaging the walls and floor!”

Upon hearing this, the chubby owner nearly fainted; if the police hadn’t supported him from the side, he would have collapsed.

“Boss, boss!” Abiya said, “You have to stand up for me. They started hitting me first!”

But the chubby owner didn’t take Abiya’s side at all. He shouted at Abiya, “It’s always you! I kindly gave you a job here, why do you always cause trouble every few days? Can’t you just shut your mouth?”

Abiya said with much grievance, “I was just joking.”

“You’re fired!” the chubby owner spat out, “I don’t like jokes, so you’re fired. Leave my hotel now and never come back!”

Abiya panicked, “Boss, where else can I go?”

“I don’t care where you go,” the chubby owner said, “Get out of here! No, first you need to fix my wall and floor before you can leave!”

“I don’t have that much money…” Abiya’s salary was barely enough to last until the next payday; he didn’t have the money to pay for the damages.

“I don’t care, you have to pay anyway!” the chubby owner was fed up, “I shouldn’t have let you work at my hotel in the first place. I thought you would change your bad habits once you started working, but it seems I was wrong!”

Abiya squatted down and cried, truly crying, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing him cry like that, Tan Rou, who was pretending, felt embarrassed to continue crying herself, so she wiped her tears and then asked the police, “Officer, what should we do now?”

The police glanced at the chubby owner and said, “In my presence, you are innocent. But you must be careful in the future. No matter which country you are in, do not act impulsively. You must get along peacefully with others.”

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu acted obedient, “Mm-hm, we certainly won’t act impulsively in the future.”

But they didn’t think so in their hearts. If this were in their own country, they could make this shabby hotel disappear from the world forever in minutes.

The chubby owner apologized, “I’m sorry my employee caused trouble for you. I apologize, and from now on your accommodation is free of charge. I hope you don’t hold a grudge against my hotel!”
