A policeman took his wife to eat street food but refused to pay and even beat the saleswoman. At that time, an army colonel passed by and saw it and called his soldiers to teach the policeman a lesson.
In a bustling city, where the streets are bustling with people, there is a famous night market with countless sidewalk eateries selling delicious rustic dishes. The sound of laughter mixed with the fragrant smell of food creates a bustling atmosphere.
In a corner of the market, there is a small shop owned by a young girl named Mai. Mai is a gentle, hard-working girl, busy selling goods every night to earn money to support her family. Today, business was going on normally when suddenly a couple walked in. The man was a policeman with a majestic appearance, still wearing his police uniform that had not been completely removed. The woman next to him wore heavy makeup, wore a tight red dress, and looked very proud.
They sat down at the table, ordered a series of dishes without hesitation. Mai quickly prepared the dishes and served them. While eating, the wife looked annoyed, constantly complaining about the food not being delicious, while the husband just silently smoked, occasionally glancing at the people around with disdainful eyes.
When they finished eating, Mai smiled and walked over, gently saying:
— The total is 180 thousand.
The wife raised her eyebrows, turned to her husband:
— Didn’t you say you know a lot here? You even charge for this trash?
The policeman leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at Mai with contempt:
— Don’t you know who I am? I’m a policeman, I eat here and I have to pay?
Mai was stunned for a moment, but she still patiently explained:
— Yes, I know who you are, but my shop sells to everyone the same, I hope you will pay for me.
As soon as she heard that, the wife immediately widened her eyes:
— Do you know what my husband does? A salesgirl like you dares to ask us for money?
Mai still maintained a patient attitude:
— I only do honest business, I hope you understand.
As soon as he finished speaking, the policeman suddenly stood up, swung his hand and slapped Mai straight in the face, causing her to stagger and almost fall. She held her cheek, stunned and unable to believe what had just happened. The people around were also shocked, but no one dared to speak out because they were afraid of the policeman’s power.
The man snorted coldly, bent down and pointed at Mai’s face:
— Remember, don’t dare to act arrogantly to me!
Just then, a low, majestic voice rang out:
— What are you doing here?
All eyes turned to the person who had just spoken. A man in military uniform, about 40 years old, with a strong face and dignified demeanor, was standing not far away. It was Colonel Lam – a famous military officer in the area. Following behind him were three young soldiers with stern looks.
The policeman frowned at the colonel, but quickly forced a smile:
— Oh, it’s just a small matter, nothing to worry about.
The colonel did not reply, just walked over to look at Mai, his eyes stern but full of concern:
— Are you okay?
Mai shook her head, lowered her face, but everyone could clearly see the red marks on her cheeks.
Lam turned to the policeman, his voice cold:
— I just saw you hit her. A law enforcement officer acting like a thug?
The policeman still tried to keep his composure:
— Don’t misunderstand, I just taught her a lesson.
Lam curled his lips, his eyes became cold. He turned to the soldiers behind him, nodded. Immediately, three soldiers stepped forward, surrounding the policeman.
One of them said in a low voice:
— Sorry, but we also need to teach you a lesson.
Before he could react, the policeman’s arms were twisted behind his back and pushed to his knees. He struggled but could not resist the well-trained soldiers. The wife standing next to him screamed in horror:
— What are you doing? My husband is a policeman!
Lam slowly walked forward, bent down to look at the policeman who was being restrained:
— What about the police? Wearing a police uniform but not knowing how to maintain morality, using power to bully others, is no different from a thug.
The policeman trembled, knowing that he had caused a big problem.
Lam did not say anything more, just signaled for the soldier to let him go. The policeman crawled up, his face pale with fear.
The colonel took out his wallet, took out money and put it on Mai’s table, then said sternly:
— This is the money for their meal, and also the compensation for you. If anyone dares to bully you again, please let me know.
Mai mumbled her thanks, her eyes shining with gratitude.
Lam turned to the policeman, her voice calm but full of authority:
— I will report this to your superiors. If you dare to abuse your power again, I will personally deal with you!
The policeman could only lower his head, cold sweat pouring down.
The people around burst into laughter, everyone was pleased with the scene just now. The person who abused his power to bully others had finally received a proper lesson.
That night, the whole neighborhood was still bustling as usual, but there was one person who left with a heavy heart—that was the abusive policeman. As for Mai, she continued her work, but this time, she knew that there were still upright people, ready to stand up to protect justice.
