Shishi asked casually, "When did you buy it?"
Lan Jin thought she was scared, so her tone was a little unfriendly, "Yesterday at noon, I wasn't asking for compensation, I just wanted to warn everyone not to be deceived."
It sounds quite righteous.
What time will you be at the watch counter around noon?
Lan Jin's palms were sweating. After thinking for a while, she said, "A little bit, for what?"
Guagua immediately checked the surveillance footage and thoughtfully explained the process while delivering the video.
"Don't worry, everyone. We are a reputable seller with government support. If the item is truly ours, we guarantee double compensation."
"What many people don't know is that in order to ensure customers can shop with peace of mind and to prevent petty theft that could cause them to lose money, the entire mall is equipped with surveillance cameras."
"The surveillance system is a device that records the scene inside the mall in real time. As long as she enters the surveillance range, all her movements will be displayed on the screen, just like a movie playing."
“I am a robot and can connect to all the cameras in the mall. Please look at the screen. She said she bought it at 1 o'clock yesterday. I will widen the time range to 12:30 to 1:30.”
Most people don't understand surveillance cameras, since they're not widespread yet, and even those installed in many important parts of the city don't know what they are.
Even Lan Jin, her blank gaze fixed on the screen.
She did go into the mall to check the styles and lingered at the counters, but she didn't believe there was any surveillance footage recording yesterday's events; it wasn't a movie shoot.
However, there are also discerning citizens who appreciate quality.
"I know this. I've seen it introduced on TV. It can record past events. When the TV program talks about this, it urges everyone to be law-abiding and not to do bad things. The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. This is the eye of heaven."
"Now that you mention it, I remember seeing this report in the newspaper."
Lan Jin's face turned even paler; she was frightened, and sweat beaded on her forehead.
Shishi rolled her eyes and yelled again, "Do you know I'm a big tiger now?"
The screen lit up, displaying both picture and sound, and the picture was very clear.
"Look, everyone, this is the footage from 12:30 pm yesterday. To save you time, I'll speed it up a bit."
"Haha, it's me. The person who just flashed by was me. I bought the watch before 1 a.m. yesterday."
An older woman excitedly pointed at the screen, looking as proud as if she were on TV.
"Oh dear, I didn't buy it before you," another older woman said regretfully.
But because of the two older women's testimonies, Lan Jin's legs went weak before she even saw one o'clock.
"Stop looking, stop looking, I... I remembered wrong, I didn't buy it here."
They admitted it?
It's too late.
Soon, her figure appeared on the screen, and Guagua restored the screen to normal speed.
She looked at the watch counter for a while, and seeing that there were many people buying watches, she cursed, "Why are so many people buying the same thing here, while my brother Xiong only sells one in half a day? This lousy department store should go out of business."
On what grounds?
Of course it's because other people's decorations are beautiful. How can you, a small street vendor, compare to them?
To curse others to go bankrupt right after opening a business—that's incredibly malicious.
She sulked, picked up a receipt from the ground, and left without buying anything.
Everyone realized that this person was there to cause trouble, and they started pointing and gesturing.
"How can you be so vicious? What business is it of yours if other people are doing well? If you have contempt, go see a doctor."
"How can someone so young do such immoral things? You sell your things while others sell theirs, and when you can't compete, you resort to false accusations. Girl, you have no morals, and you're destined to go nowhere."
Lan Jin was very embarrassed.
This was the first time she had faced such criticism, and she regretted it even more. If she hadn't left Xiao Xu, she wouldn't have suffered like this.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes gradually became misty.
"I almost believed it, damn it."
The young girl had a short temper and reached out to pull her hair, but Shishi stopped her, saying, "Don't touch her, she's pregnant, be careful she doesn't try to extort you."
"How did you know?" The girl was captivated by her beauty and found it hard to believe that such a beautiful boss could do something wrong. She also admired her for having such a successful career at such a young age.
But Lan Jin's explanation was so convincing that she was misled.
She came from a well-off family, and her parents doted on her, giving her 10 yuan of pocket money every month. Her two older brothers and their wives would also occasionally give her money, which made her a bit... spoiled.
Thinking about how easily she had been fooled, she couldn't help but blush.
Shishi was very straightforward: "I've met her. Her ex-husband is the son of my dad's comrade-in-arms. He's a fool and always gets swindled out of money by her."
Let's not talk about the cuckolding incident; let's save face for Xiao Xu.
Lan Jin suddenly looked up.
So that's why I felt there was something wrong with the way this person looked at me when we first met; it was like looking at garbage in a stinking ditch.
She initially thought it was a problem only for rich people.
Xiao Xu, who was just about to buy some rice and meat, heard a familiar voice and a familiar story and tried to run away, but was grabbed by the collar and forced to come in: ...
He turned his head, the tall man expressionlessly released his grip, and threw a man out with his other hand.
Upon seeing who it was, Xiao Xu's lips twitched.
Is this someone speaking up for me?
It doesn't seem so.
He decided to wait and see, but Shishi didn't give him a chance to play dumb, pointing with her fair hand.
"Hey, you silly ex-husband."
The crowd laughed at the absurdity of the story and responded with unabashed chuckles, giving the ex-husband a once-over.
What a fine young man, how could he be so blind?
Xiao Xu: ...
Lan Jin has been proven to be a frame-up. Guagua pointed at Yu Haixiong and shouted, "Remember this person! They're in cahoots. Don't buy his stuff. They have no morals. They sell things without any proof and you might get framed."
