Chapter 96 Learning the Truth



In Zhou Mei's heart, Li Yi is now her only support.

She felt wronged and, disregarding the many people watching, she leaned her head against Li Yi and began to cry sadly.

Li Yi couldn't bear to see a woman cry.

He scooped Zhou Mei into his arms, patted her gently on the back, and said, "Alright, Mei'er, don't cry. Brother will buy you more. But now, this Zhang Feng should pay for his actions!"

After saying that, Li Yi immediately dialed the police.

Zhang Feng: "Heh, do you think I'm afraid of you? It's a crappy knock-off phone, worth at most a thousand yuan, not even enough for the police to file a case. I'll just pay you two thousand yuan later."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Ignorance is bliss. Kid, how dare you be so fierce to my woman! Let me tell you, kid, you're in big trouble, you're in really big trouble!"

Zhang Feng: "You've got a screw over with me. You think you can scare me? You're too green. I'm not afraid of the police!"

Li Yi shook his head. It was utterly foolish!

The world's most expensive mobile phone, and you call it a knock-off!

The rice noodle roll shop owner has already prepared the rice noodle rolls, but now he doesn't know whether he should bring them over.

Li Yi called out, "Boss, bring the rice noodle rolls over when they're ready."

The boss paused for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

The owner brought over two servings of rice noodle rolls and placed them in front of Li Yi and Zhou Mei respectively.

Li Yi used a napkin to wipe away Zhou Mei's tears and said, "Mei'er, let's eat rice noodle rolls first. We'll talk about it when the police arrive."

Zhou Mei: "Huh? Still eating?"

Li Yi: "Of course I have to eat. You brought me here specifically to eat, how can I not eat? Hurry up, while it's hot, before it gets cold and doesn't taste good."

Li Yi picked up his chopsticks, stirred the sauce and seasonings, and then put a piece of rice noodle roll into his mouth.

Um!

So delicious!

"Mei'er, eat up! This rice noodle roll is really delicious!"

Zhou Mei was still heartbroken, but seeing how open-minded Li Yi was, she started eating too.

The two had just finished eating their rice noodle rolls when the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.

A police car pulled up in front of the store, and four police officers got out.

"Who called the police just now?" an officer asked.

Li Yi said, "Officers, hello. I called the police!"

"What happened?" the officer asked.

Li Yi pointed at Zhang Feng and said, "Officer, he deliberately damaged a huge amount of property. I'm going to sue him."

The officer looked at Zhang Feng and asked, "Is this true?"

Zhang Feng chuckled, pointing to the broken phone that Zhou Mei had picked up and placed on the table, and said, "Heh, you still dare to talk nonsense when the police come. Officer, this is what happened! I just smashed their crappy knock-off phone, it's not like I intentionally damaged a huge amount of property. At worst, I'll pay them two thousand yuan."

Li Yi chuckled: "Two thousand yuan? Do you know how much this phone costs?"

Zhang Feng: "How much money could we possibly have? A knock-off phone is worth at most two thousand yuan!"

At this moment, a policeman walked closer and his eyes lit up. He squatted down and stared at the tattered phone carefully. Then he was stunned and shocked!

The officer who asked the question was their captain, named Sun Hu, who said, "You know this phone?"

"Team... Captain," the officer said, "I know him! We didn't know each other before, but we met these past few days while assisting with an economic crime investigation. Captain, this phone is something else!"

Captain Sun said, "Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me, what's going on with this phone?"

The officer said, "This is a Vertu phone, a luxury item among mobile phones. If I'm not mistaken, this phone should be the Vertu Signature Cobra Limited Edition, priced at a whopping 2,890,000 yuan."

"How much? Say it again!" Captain Sun exclaimed in surprise.

"Captain, this phone is worth 2.89 million!"

shock!

Petrification!

sluggish!

Unbelievable!

It wasn't just Captain Sun who was stunned.

The other two police officers were also stunned.

Zhang Feng is numb!

This is a knock-off phone, and you're telling me it's a luxury item among mobile phones, costing nearly three million?

"Officer, you must have made a mistake!" Zhang Feng said.

Li Yi: "As expected of a policeman, you're very knowledgeable. Officer, you're not mistaken. This is indeed the Vertu Cobra limited edition, which I bought for 2.89 million. According to the salesperson, the gemstones inlaid on the outside of the phone alone are worth millions!"

Zhang Feng panicked and said, "Nonsense! You're talking nonsense. What kind of cell phone costs more than two million?"

Li Yi chuckled and said disdainfully, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist! I can only say you're a frog in a well!"

"You!!" Zhang Feng was both angry and annoyed, and said, "Words are meaningless! I could never pay that much money!"

"Of course, words alone are not enough. Look at this."

Li Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out a receipt.

"Officer, this is the invoice I got when I bought the phone. Take a look!"

Captain Sun took it, checked the invoice online to verify its authenticity, and then called the Rittal store to confirm the information.

Captain Sun received confirmation from the store clerk that the phone was indeed worth 2.89 million yuan.

Li Yi: "He broke something worth 2.89 million. Was this intentional damage to a huge amount of property?"

Captain Sun replied, "Yes!"

With the police confirming the situation, the entire rice noodle roll shop fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the occasional sound of traffic outside the window.

Zhang Feng's face turned from white to green, then from green to purple; clearly, he could not accept this fact.

"No...it can't be! How could this be true?"
