The middle-aged couple watched as Shi Jing made one phone call and then another, and her words didn't seem fake, which gave them a bad feeling.

The couple exchanged a glance, unable to hide their panic.

The middle-aged man gave the woman a wink, signaling her not to linger. The woman clearly received the message, but their son was obviously not on the same wavelength.

The young man looked impatient and urged, "Mom and Dad, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

As he spoke, the young man tried to pull the two of them away.

The middle-aged woman grabbed her son and looked warily at the security guard and Shi Jing.

Rong Yu, fearing that Shi Jing would be affected again, pulled Shi Jing back a little.

"What...what do you want to do?" The young man finally realized that something was wrong. He looked at his parents and then at the security guard.

The middle-aged couple wanted to leave, but several security guards were watching the family of three and there was no way they would let them go.

If we cause losses and they get away, who will be responsible?

The situation remained deadlocked until the police arrived quickly. This was a popular residential development that attracted a lot of attention.

Who reported the incident?

When the police arrived, they first questioned the person who reported the case, and Shi Jing naturally stepped forward first.

"Officer, I'm the one who reported the case," Shi Jing said, raising his hand.

Just as the police were about to walk towards Shi Jing, the middle-aged man grabbed the police uniform with a pitiful expression: "Officer, don't listen to her! She called so many people to beat people up, and she's trying to extort money from us ordinary people!"

Upon hearing this, the sales staff couldn't sit still any longer.

“Sir, you can’t say that. You were the one who started causing trouble for this gentleman and this lady, which is why we stepped in to stop them,” Gu Nan said, pointing to a spot on the top of the wall. “We have surveillance cameras here.”

The police will naturally ask the complainant about the situation, especially since there is reportedly a large amount of property loss.

"Young lady, in your emergency call you said something was broken and needed repair?"

“Yes, officer.” Shi Jing took the watch off his wrist and handed it to the officer. “This is my watch, worth more than two million. She pushed me and it hit a stone sculpture and broke.”

The family of three was stunned when they heard the price, and even many people at the sales office were watching the spectacle.

The middle-aged man slapped the woman across the face, then looked pitiful and argued, "Officer, she's definitely trying to scam me. No normal person would wear such an expensive watch around like that."

"Stop! Talk to me! How can you hit someone like that!" one of the police officers shouted.

Judging from how smoothly the man moved, he was clearly a repeat offender.

Before the man could even begin to argue, the woman started yelling, "Officer, my man didn't do it on purpose! It's this brat trying to extort money from me that made him so angry!"

Shi Jing was completely confused. What the heck? He wasn't angry after being hit, and he even helped make amends?

The onlookers were momentarily unsure whether to pity her or despise her.

No one responded to her words, and the police would not make a judgment without obtaining definite information.

Shi Jing wasn't afraid of them cheating; the watches were all clearly priced and their prices were easily verifiable.

"Do you still have the receipt for this watch?" the police officer asked.

"Officer, I didn't keep the receipt, but I've already contacted the brand, and they'll send someone over soon."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Not long after Shi Jing finished speaking, two men in sharp suits walked into the sales office carrying a briefcase.

"Excuse me, may I ask which one of you is Miss Shi?" one of the men asked.

Shi Jing raised his hand and gestured: "Here."

The two then quickly walked towards Shi Jing.

"Hello Ms. Shi, we are from the 'tiya' brand after-sales service. Where is your damaged watch?"

At this moment, the policeman handed it over, and the man, who was empty-handed, took it with both hands. He then looked at the desk in the sales office and asked very politely, "Could I borrow this desk for a moment?"

"Sure, sure," Gu Nan replied hastily.

At this time, there were still customers coming and going at the sales office, and they couldn't stand in people's lobby forever, so the sales office vacated an office for them.

The middle-aged couple couldn't leave even if they wanted to, and could only follow behind the police with grim expressions.

While the "tiya" after-sales service was inspecting the watch, the police were also taking statements.

The matter is quite clear, and there is surveillance footage to confirm it. Shi Jing and her friends were completely innocent victims; they were simply trying to buy a house, but were inexplicably harassed by someone.

The incident itself isn't a major issue, but the losses are likely substantial; we'll have to wait for the brand's assessment for a more definitive answer.

After confirming the damage to the watch, the staff at "tiya" carefully explained to Ms. Shi: "Ms. Shi, after inspection, it has been confirmed that the watch crystal is completely cracked. The sapphire crystal of this watch is a custom-made piece by the brand, and it can only be sent back to the factory for repair. The estimated cost is at least 300,000 yuan."

"How...how is this possible..." The middle-aged man was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

A Tiya staff member explained, "This price is already quite reasonable. Fortunately, it was just the watch crystal that cracked, so we can be fairly certain that the watch body wasn't damaged. Otherwise, the cost would have been far more than this."

This makes things a bit awkward.

The middle-aged couple never expected that a few words of argument and a few shoves would cause such a big loss. At this moment, the whole family looked very sad.

Seeing Rong Yu's close relationship with Shi Jing, the middle-aged man put on a fawning smile: "Xiao Yu, we're all from the same village, could you talk to your friend and suggest we call it quits..."

Rong Yu frowned; he was in a bad mood. He had only meant well by accompanying Tong Jing, but who knew it would cause such a big problem?

He said in a deep voice, "Since you broke it, you should take responsibility."

At this point, the young man retorted indignantly, "I think you're just trying to extort money. This kind of glass can be replaced for a few hundred yuan. Why spend so much money!"

The staff at "tiya" didn't get angry at him. Instead, they calmly retorted, "Sir, you're joking. This watch is a New Year's special edition from our brand. There's simply no matching crystal available on the market. Besides, the materials used for crystals on the market are different."

After speaking, the staff member looked at Shi Jing, who nodded in agreement.

"Please register us and return to the factory as soon as possible," Shi Jing said, then looked at the middle-aged couple. "As for compensation..."

"Xiaoyu, please help your uncle and aunt. Your aunt used to hold you when you were little," the middle-aged man said.

"Yes, yes, when your mother passed away, it was me..." The woman stopped mid-sentence, clearly having touched on an inappropriate topic.

Shi Jing heard it clearly. What this person said was definitely "your mother is gone." She remembered that Rong Yu had said before that his parents were still alive, but their relationship was not good. So what did this woman mean by "your mother is gone"?
