Bai Mei and the young man were taken back to the police station by the police.
With the evidence conclusive, Bai Mei's cries of innocence fell on deaf ears.
At that moment, everyone had clearly seen the young man retrieve his wallet from the bottom of Bai Mei's bundle.
The police wanted to detain Bai Mei. Desperate, she pleaded, claiming her grandmother was hospitalized at the People's Hospital, and insisted she was not a thief.
In the end, seeing it was her first offense, with no prior messy record and possibly just a moment of madness, and considering the police station was overcrowded with people detained for similar petty theft, held for just over ten days,
they decided to notify Bai Jianguo today. After all, such matters could be blown out of proportion or dealt with lightly. Seeing her as a young girl, they thought some reprimand and a fine would suffice, and she could go back as long as she promised not to reoffend.
