"I...I didn't."
At the store entrance, Liu Yang was still stubbornly insisting, "I just went home and changed the bottle; the roasted green pepper sauce inside was bought from your store."
Before Lin Chao could explain, the people around him began to criticize Liu Yang.
"Young man, that's not fair of you!"
"How can you live with yourself doing this?"
“His conscience has long been eaten by dogs, otherwise he wouldn’t have done such an inhumane thing.”
"They actually tried to take advantage of our sympathy to swindle money from this shop. If Manager Lin hadn't seen through their trick, we might have become the villains who aided and abetted the evildoer."
"Arrest him and hand him over to the police. People like him should not be let off lightly."
Faced with so much hatred, Liu Yang's expression changed drastically. He backed away, saying, "Fine, since none of you believe me, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
With that, he turned and ran away.
"Stop! Don't run away!"
Lin Chao shouted and pretended to chase after him.
Of course, he was just putting on an act.
After all, this Liu Yang was an actor they hired, and even his name was made up; it wasn't his real name at all.
The other party has finished their part and it's time for them to leave.
However, he was putting on an act, but the people around him were not.
Before Liu Yang could break out of the encirclement, he was caught by several enthusiastic young men.
"Still trying to run?"
"You've fooled everyone so badly, do you think you can leave without giving a satisfactory explanation?"
"I suggest we call the police and have him arrested immediately!"
Caught by several righteous young people, Liu Yang himself was lying, and Yang Ju and Lin Chao panicked as well.
It's just acting, why take it so seriously?
The main issue is that their planned scenes only go this far.
If Liu Yang doesn't know how to adapt to changing circumstances, their elaborate scheme could backfire and things could get messy.
If we alert the police, it will only cause more trouble.
In a flash of inspiration, Lin Chao rushed forward, grabbed Liu Yang by the collar, and demanded, "You've caused us so much trouble and reputational damage, and you still want to run away? Do you think you can get away with this?"
As he said this, he subtly winked at Liu Yang.
He then added, "Unless you have more evidence to prove you're not lying, I'll hand you over to the police!"
Liu Yang was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized, "Yes, I have evidence!"
"Oh? Where did you get your evidence?" Lin Chao asked.
"It's at my house. I'll go back and get it now!"
Are you sure?
"certainly!"
Liu Yang nodded emphatically, "I'll go back and get it right away."
"Can!"
How could Lin Chao possibly disagree? He immediately said to the young men who had grabbed Liu Yang, "Gentlemen, thank you for your help, but since he says he has more evidence, let him go and get it. I want to see what other tricks he can pull to slander us."
"no!"
One of the young men said unequivocally, "He's a liar. If we let him go, he'll definitely run away and never come back."
Lin Chao's expression froze.
Liu Yang was also sweating profusely.
They were worried that people weren't enthusiastic enough before, but now that the enthusiasm is excessive, they're finding it hard to handle.
"Hmph, I have solid evidence, how could I not come back?"
Liu Yang sneered, "Let me go! I'll go back and get more evidence right now, then let's see what you have to say!"
Lin Chao quickly chimed in, "Alright, then I'll wait here and see what evidence you can produce."
He then said to the group of enthusiastic young men, "Let him go. We already know his name, so he can't escape."
Upon hearing this, the group felt it made sense, and reluctantly released Liu Yang.
"You wait!"
Leaving behind such a harsh remark, Liu Yang triumphantly pushed through the crowd and swaggered away.
This time, no one stopped them.
But after only a few dozen meters away from the crowd, Liu Yang sped away and disappeared into a nearby alley in the blink of an eye.
"We've been tricked!"
“I told you he was just making an excuse to run away.”
"He's a fraud, Manager Lin, you've been scammed!"
"You should have listened to me earlier. If you had let him go now, he definitely wouldn't have come back!"
Several enthusiastic young people sighed with regret.
Lin Chao's lips twitched. In order to keep up the act, he had no choice but to slap his thigh and say indignantly, "Forget it, I'll settle the score with him after this is over."
He then walked back and scolded Yang Ju, "How did you manage to guard the shop? How could you attract a swindler like this?"
Yang Ju was so frightened that she took two steps back and explained incoherently, "Manager Lin, I didn't know that I would be targeted by this swindler."
"This whole commotion is your fault. You'll have fifty yuan deducted from your salary this month!"
"Huh? That's a lot deducted?"
Yang Ju looked distressed, but dared not say anything more.
At that moment, a powerful voice came from behind the crowd, "This is simply outrageous!"
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look.
As the crowd parted to the sides, a burly, resolute-looking young man with a full beard strode out.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
Yang Ju immediately went up to him and repeatedly shook her head, pleading, "Brother, this is my job. It's normal to have my wages deducted. Please don't worry about it."
"no!"
