Chapter 1,703 Arrested
1703
What came in was a waitress wearing something similar to a maid's uniform. This waitress looked pretty good.
In fact, the services at the Kelmers Hotel are very good. According to Reinhardt, even the most basic cleaners in this hotel are found according to very high standards.
"Hello, sir!" The waiter pushed a dining cart to the bedside and said, "Your breakfast today is a ham sandwich and a cup of hot cocoa, just like yesterday."
"Okay, put it over there!" Xu Taiping pointed to the bedside table.
Every morning in the past few days, this waiter would come to Xu Taiping's room and deliver a delicious breakfast. Xu Taiping knew the other party's name on the first day. This woman's name is Linda. She is in her thirties. This hotel has been in business for five years.
"Sir, let me clean up for you." Linda said.
"Wasn't it always someone else who cleaned the house before?" Xu Taiping asked.
"He was temporarily busy today, so the cleaning work was left to me." Linda said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Taiping said, looked at his computer, and then clicked on a software on the computer.
Linda turned and walked out of Xu Taiping's room, and then pushed a small car in from outside the room. There were garbage bags and other things on the car, and it looked very professional.
Linda took out the broom from the car and first cleaned the room. Then she took out towels and cleaned the tables and chairs.
Xu Taiping glanced at Linda occasionally, while his hands kept typing on the computer.
The cleaning lasted about half an hour.
Linda walked back to Xu Taiping's room and said, "Sir, I have cleaned the room. I'm leaving first!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Taiping said.
Linda nodded, then pushed the dining cart and the cleaning cart out of Xu Taiping's room.
Xu Taiping closed the software he had previously opened on his computer, then found a file in the folder and uploaded it to his network drive.
After doing this, Xu Taiping deleted the original file, moved the computer room aside, and picked up the cold sandwich on the table.
After finishing his sandwich and drinking hot cocoa, Xu Taiping got up and walked into the bathroom.
By the time I finished washing, more than ten minutes had passed.
Xu Taiping yawned and walked out of the bathroom. Just as he was about to get dressed, there was a sudden ticking sound at the door.
Someone opened the door.
Xu Taiping looked towards the door.
I saw a few police officers walking in from behind the door with dark faces.
"Police, raise your hands and put them where we can see them!" a policeman yelled at Xu Taiping.
"What's wrong?!" Xu Taiping raised his hands in surprise.
"Someone called the police and reported that they were sexually assaulted by you. Mr. Xu, please come with us!" The policeman said while motioning to several policemen around him to come forward.
Immediately, several policemen surrounded Xu Taiping, and then these policemen cuffed Xu Taiping's hands behind his back.
"Sexual assault? Are you sure?" Xu Taiping said in shock, "When did I sexually assault? Who did I sexually assault?"
"You don't have to worry about it. When you get to the police station, someone will naturally tell you to take him away!" The policeman gave the order, and Xu Taiping was escorted out of the room.
"Search the room and collect evidence!" the policeman said again.
As a result, Xu Taiping's clothes, computer, etc. were all taken away directly.
Xu Taiping's hands were handcuffed behind his back and he was taken directly downstairs by the police.
People were coming and going downstairs. Many people saw this scene and were very surprised. Who were the police here to arrest this early in the morning?
Some people from China recognized Xu Taiping and picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of Xu Taiping walking out of the hotel with his hands cuffed behind his back.
Outside the hotel, police lights flashed.
Xu Taiping was directly put into a police car and then headed to the Los Angeles Police Station.
"Who did I sexually assault?" Xu Taiping asked.
"When you get to the police station, you will naturally know." The policeman sitting opposite Xu Taiping said with an indifferent expression.
The car drove all the way to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Half an hour later, Xu Taiping arrived at the Los Angeles Police Station.
Looking at the police badge at the entrance of the Luocheng Police Station, Xu Taiping lamented that his bad relationship with the police station had really continued.
Almost every city he visited, Xu Taiping had to be arrested and taken to the police station.
When Xu Taiping came to the Luo City Police Station before, he brought Lu Damin with him. That didn't count as being arrested. At that time, Xu Taiping was still thinking that this time he would be able to avoid being arrested at the police station. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long. , and he was caught.
Here Xu Taiping was arrested and taken to the police station. On the other side, the photos of Xu Taiping's arrest were quickly posted online.
China on the other side of the ocean received this message immediately.
When this piece of information arrived in China, the entire China exploded.
China's richest man was actually arrested in the United States?
Although I don’t know why he was arrested, looking at the way Xu Taiping was handcuffed behind his back, it was definitely a big deal. If it was just a small matter, with Xu Taiping’s status, it is absolutely impossible for him to be handcuffed!
Everyone is speculating as to why Xu Taiping was arrested. Some people say that Xu Taiping was trying to control the American market. Others say that Xu Taiping was a spy sent by China. In short, there are all kinds of gossip. They sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in China. As time went by, a piece of reliable news spread from the United States back to the country again.
Xu Taiping was formally arrested by the Los Angeles police on suspicion of sexually assaulting a maid at the Kyle Moss Hotel.
Along with this news came a photo of Xu Taiping wearing an orange prison uniform.
Now the entire Chinese public opinion exploded again!
No one could have imagined that the richest man in China would sexually assault a hotel maid in the United States!
Is it that those female celebrities are not beautiful, or are those socialites not doing well? With Xu Taiping's status, how could he sexually assault the waitress?
Everyone was unconvinced about this news, because it was too weird, and almost everyone doubted the authenticity of the news. However, as more and more news came back from the other side of the ocean, people discovered that Xu Taiping , it seems that he really sexually assaulted the other party, because the waitress reported it under her real name, and the police said that the waitress stayed in Xu Taiping's room for more than half an hour, and there were some injuries on the waitress's body. It is said that It was left behind when Xu Taiping was sexually assaulted.
At this time, Chinese public opinion, which was already exploding, was once again fueled by the fire and became even more explosive.
At this time, in Los Angeles.
Xu Taiping already basically knew what happened.
Linda testified against him, saying that he sexually assaulted her, it was such a simple thing.
Xu Taiping's lawyer had already arrived at the interview room to meet with Xu Taiping.
"The situation is very unfavorable to you now!" the lawyer said seriously.
"I didn't sexually assault her." Xu Taiping said calmly, "I didn't do anything."
"In our country, once someone accuses you of sexual assault, you must provide evidence to prove that you did not sexually assault the other person. However, the other person stayed in your room for more than half an hour, and you have no evidence to prove that for more than half an hour During this time, you did not sexually assault the other party," the lawyer said.
"In our country, whoever claims and provides evidence, whoever says he was sexually assaulted, that person has to provide evidence." Xu Taiping said.
"That's the case in your country, but in our country it's completely the other way around. Mr. Xu, you're still inexperienced. How could you be alone with the waitress in a closed environment for so long?" the lawyer said helplessly.
"She came to bring me breakfast and help me clean the house. I didn't do anything." Xu Taiping said.
"Even if you didn't do anything, unless you have irrefutable proof that you didn't touch her during that period, you won't be able to wash away your charges. In our country, celebrities and businessmen are the most taboo. Being alone in a room with a woman you don’t know, because under such circumstances, as long as the other party reports you for sexual assault, it will be difficult for you to prove your innocence. How many celebrities have been imprisoned because of this matter, and how many people have paid thousands in compensation because of this matter. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions in compensation. In addition, sexual assault does not necessarily require sexual behavior. It can even be just some verbal assault. This is considered sexual assault. Therefore, this case is very difficult to fight! "said the lawyer.
"But I really didn't do anything!" Xu Taiping said.
"I believe you didn't do anything, but it's useless. You have to convince the jury and the judge that you didn't do anything. You are now the richest man in China. You sexually assaulted a woman, and even... It may attract the attention of feminists. Once they support that waitress, you will basically have no chance of getting away with it. You will either go to jail or lose money! Mr. Xu, I suggest that you should choose to go private now and pay some compensation. Money, let that woman withdraw the case voluntarily, otherwise, it will be too difficult to fight this case!" the lawyer said seriously.
"Let me think about it!" Xu Taiping frowned and said, "I can't accept the fact that I have to pay the price for something I haven't done."
"Then think about it yourself. I am now going to help you apply for bail pending trial. During this period, no matter who comes to you, don't say a word or worry about them. I will let you get it within twenty-four hours." Get out of here!" the lawyer said.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you!" Xu Taiping said.
The lawyer nodded, then stood up and left.
After the lawyer left, Xu Taiping was immediately taken into the detention room by the police.
There were many prisoners in the detention room who were wearing prison uniforms like Xu Taiping. When they saw Xu Taiping coming in, the eyes of these prisoners all radiated an unfriendly light.
