The deep voice of summer instantly drowned out the noise.
"Exactly what's going on here?" These police officers were brought by Xiaoma, whom Xiaotian had already informed before coming. Xiaoma believed that Xiaotian had a solid plan, so he called his friends from the police station.
As soon as Xiaoma's friend heard it was a fraud case, he personally led the team to set out.
"Comrades, you can first check if the reporters behind are real or fake. If I'm not mistaken, they should have no credentials at all," Xiaotian said calmly. He had already used his透视eye to see that these people had no credentials related to journalism.
"Go and check them. If they're not real, take them away," the police chief shouted loudly.
"You can't do this. We are citizens, and we have the right to freedom."
"We haven't committed any crime, why are you checking us?"
"No checking allowed."
The "reporters" shouted loudly after hearing Xiaotian's words. They were not actually reporters; it was impossible to find so many real reporters at short notice, so Wen Zhaohua's subordinates had gathered a group of extras.
"Cooperating with the police is the duty of every citizen. If anyone does not cooperate, I will note down their ID. If they are not real reporters, they will be arrested for fraud."
Upon hearing this, the "reporters" fell silent.
Five minutes later.
"Chief, we've found out. Only one is an intern reporter, the rest are fake."
"Good, take them all back for questioning."
After these "reporters" were arrested, the number of people at the mall entrance decreased significantly. The extras who had been shouting and causing a commotion all hid far away, afraid of being implicated. A few hundred yuan was not worth the trouble; they were willing to give up the money.
For a moment, only four people remained at the scene: the three parties involved and Wen Zhaohua.
Wen Zhaohua did not expect the situation to develop like this, and even more so, that Ah Biao had found him a bunch of extras, with only one real reporter, and that one was an intern.
Fortunately, these three parties were hired at a high price, and they could only continue to act. If they stopped, it would mean they were there to commit fraud, which was a serious crime.
"I remember you three said you don't know each other, right?" Xiaotian looked at the three disfigured women.
"Yes, we don't know each other."
"I can understand that you all came to buy cosmetics on the same day, but why did your appraisals all come out on the same day, and from the same hospital at the same time?" Xiaotian asked the three women.
Upon hearing Xiaotian's words, they rechecked their appraisals. They themselves had not noticed that their appraisals were all done together, as they were all fake appraisals made by the same person.
"So what, it might just be a coincidence," Wen Zhaohua explained.
"Alright, I'll assume it's a coincidence for now." Xiaotian walked directly to the three women and stopped in front of the first, the obese woman: "You said the acne on your face is due to using our company's products, right?"
"Yes, it's because of using the lotus cream and water."
"But I found some of your old photos just now. I noticed that your face has been like this for seven years. Can you explain that?" Xiaotian held up the photos, and everyone could see clearly that it was indeed this woman, and her acne had not worsened.
"Arrest her, and take those photos with you."
"I was wrong, it was him, he paid me to do this," the obese woman pointed at Wen Zhaohua.
"Arrest her, I didn't expect her to be a fraudster, she's slandering me," Wen Zhaohua shouted hastily.
"Mr. Wen, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" the police chief asked Wen Zhaohua.
"You believe such baseless words? I am a public figure. If you want an explanation, you can talk to my lawyer," Wen Zhaohua defended himself.
Xiaotian then approached the second disfigured woman: "Miss, your red face is fading."
"Uh!" The woman was slightly taken aback and touched her face, indeed it was fading. She had been too nervous, seeing the other woman being arrested and sweating.
"Arrest her too."
"I was forced, they said if I didn't agree, they wouldn't let my brother go to school," the woman shouted loudly.
"Let's go to the police station and talk about it." Xiaotian smiled and walked to the third woman, the one with the disfigured face, covered in scars. Seeing Xiaotian approach, Wen Zhaohua's heart was already in his throat.
The disfigured woman's face was covered in sweat.
"I was wrong, I was forced. The scars on my face are fake, I confess," the third woman could no longer hold back and tore off the scars on her face, revealing that they were intentionally applied.
"Scars can be faked too, it seems your medical records and appraisal reports are also fake. Arrest them all."
"Congratulations, brother, you're going to have some good achievements," Xiaoma smiled.
"Thank you, brother. I'll treat you when I have time," the police officer said with a smile.
"Ah, it's really hard for you. To be so seriously injured and still come shopping, and to coincidentally encounter such a situation, it's really a coincidence," Xiaotian smiled at Wen Zhaohua, and the people behind him kept rolling their eyes at Wen Zhaohua.
"Alright, you wait and see," Wen Zhaohua glared at Xiaotian.
"I'll wait," Xiaotian said calmly.
Wen Zhaohua's face turned purple, and he turned and left directly.
As soon as he left the mall, Wen Zhaohua dialed a number.
"Ah Biao, you're a complete waste, a total waste. Get as far away from me as possible," Wen Zhaohua hung up the phone after scolding.
"I won't let you off."
Zeng Rou had been following Xiaotian the whole time but hadn't said a word from start to finish.
Xiaotian had said he would handle it, and Zeng Rou was wondering how he would do it. She didn't expect him to handle it so well; even if she had taken charge, she couldn't have done it as well as Xiaotian.
"Xiaoma, Brother Xu, thank you both," Xiaotian smiled.
"Don't be so formal, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything," Xiaoma patted Xiaotian's shoulder.
"You don't need to be formal with me either, my life was saved by you," Old Xu smiled.
After they left, Xiaotian looked at Zeng Rou: "How do you plan to handle the mall situation?"
"Since you're so capable, I'll follow your lead," Zeng Rou smiled.
"Then let's have a large-scale event. It will also serve as good publicity. The event will be held at all the malls under the owner's name in three days. The content will be that anyone who bought those two products will have a chance to win a 500,000 yuan grand prize, which will be publicly announced, and the winners will be publicly revealed," Xiaotian suggested.
