After thinking for a while, Charles answered, "Yesterday... I went to a meeting with some clients, and then I picked up the kids. What seems to be the problem?"
"Didn't you do anything else?" the policeman asked again.
A hint of mockery was evident in his eyes.
"Mr. Fu, you are a big shot. You don't lack money. You can't deny what you have done, can you?" This time, it was the other policeman who asked.
There was a slight contempt in his tone, like he was looking down upon Charles.
This had never happened to Charles before, so he felt a little uncomfortable. Who on earth would dare look down upon a man like him? What did he do to make these policemen act like this in front of him? "My schedule is almost fixed every day. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You don't need to beat around the bush."
"Since you’ve asked, we’ll go straight to the point." The two policemen looked at each other. "Yesterday morning, you bought a lot of steamed buns, but didn't pay for them. Ahem, what's more unacceptable to the owner is that you rode his scooter away and haven't returned it to him yet. So this mo
keep this watch. How much is your scooter worth?"
The shop owner got even angrier. "My scooter is worth six thousand. What's the use of the fake watch if I keep it?"
The man was choked by the shop owner and stopped talking.
"Okay, I'll give you the money." Helpless, Charles took the watch from the shop owner's hand. All of a sudden, he realized that he didn't have his phone or cash with him.
Fortunately, he had a black card in his pocket, so he asked, "Can I swipe my card?"
"No way. We only accept cash. Other payment methods are not supported." To everyone’s surprise, the owner continued to be arrogant.
With a sigh, Charles looked at his black card. "Okay, is there a bank nearby?"
All of a sudden, someone from the crowd shouted, "Mr. Fu, please give me your watch and I'll pay you in cash. What do you think?"
"Mr. Fu, I think I'd better get some cash for you. You can give me the money whenever it's convenient for you," suggested a policeman. The policeman knew that his watch cost a fortune, so he thought to himself, 'The shop owner is so stupid. Why doesn't he know such a big shot as Charles?'
