The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 613 - 0615: Who is Responsible?

Chapter 613: Chapter 0615: Who is Responsible?

Shen Congwen quickly ran up to Chu Ge, and upon seeing him, felt as if he had seen his backbone.

A tense heart instantly settled down.

It wasn’t that he was afraid these people would do anything to him; rather, he was worried they would damage his Earth Ganoderma.

Chu Ge looked at Shen Congwen with confusion, "Scamming by running into someone?"

He suspiciously eyed the group in front of them, where a man was surrounded by three to five other men, "It was them?"

Shen Congwen nodded and grunted in affirmation, "That’s right, it’s them."

The middle-aged woman, upon seeing Shen Congwen’s friend arrive, subconsciously took a step back. She glanced at a man beside her wearing a colorful shirt, who nodded slightly at her. Understanding his gesture, she quickly stepped forward with an unpleasant look at Chu Ge and asked, "Are you his friend?"

Chu Ge nodded gently, "Yes."

"Your friend damaged my crystal. Look, it’s shattered like this. It cannot even be repaired. He refuses to compensate! Tell me, do you think that’s fair? I paid tens of thousands for this crystal, and he wouldn’t even pay US$ 5,000."

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she held out the shattered crystal to Chu Ge, "Look, this is a crystal worth tens of thousands, and now it’s broken like this!"

Chu Ge didn’t even glance at the crystal, only giving the middle-aged woman a cool look as he asked her, "So, how much do you expect my friend to compensate you?"

Seeing Chu Ge’s seemingly generous demeanor, she said to him, "US$ 5,000! Look at how well-dressed your friend is, wearing branded clothes that each cost at least US$ 5,000. I’m just asking for the price of one garment, and even that he refuses to pay!"

Between the lines, she was implying that Shen Congwen was stingy.

"You bought this crystal for tens of thousands but are only asking for US$ 5,000 in compensation; you’re taking a big loss there."

Chu Ge pondered for a moment before speaking faintly.

The woman broke into a smile upon hearing this, thinking she had found an easy target.

Eagerly, she said, "Right, ah, but there’s no helping it. I was originally planning to ask your friend for US$ 20,000. But seeing that your friend looks quite pitiable, I decided to ask for less, just US$ 5,000 directly."

Her righteous demeanor almost made it seem like she was being lenient by only asking Shen Congwen for US$ 5,000.

Chu Ge coughed lightly and smiled, "Sister, you are truly considerate. Since my friend is unwilling to pay, let’s just call the police."

The woman’s smile stiffened at his words. She seemed not to have heard Chu Ge clearly and asked doubtfully, "What did you say?"

"Call the police." Chu Ge said nonchalantly, "Since this crystal of yours worth tens of thousands has been shattered, and he’s not planning to take responsibility, why not report it to the police?"

The woman’s lips parted, not understanding the logic behind Chu Ge’s statement, "Aren’t you his friend? Why would you..."

Why would a friend advise her to call the police?

The woman was shocked, and at the same time, didn’t know what to say. She turned to look for help from the man in the floral shirt within the crowd.

Chu Ge had already taken out his phone, dialing as he spoke to the woman, "Even if he’s a friend, I can’t just watch him make a mistake, right? If he doesn’t want to compensate, then let’s call the police."

Before the woman could react, Chu Ge had already made the call.

Even Shen Congwen and Nangong Yunhai, who were standing behind Chu Ge, were initially unclear about what Chu Ge was planning to do.

But Shen Congwen knew, Chu Ge would definitely not harm him.

Even if they were to call the police, with Nangong Yunhai there—who could shake Beijing with just a stomp—Shen Congwen was not worried at all.

Nangong Yunhai looked at Chu Ge with some confusion. He usually traveled by plane when going out and rarely visited the train station by train or high-speed rail. Therefore, he seldom came to the train station. He had heard that there were scamming gangs operating at train stations, and it seemed that they were encountering one such group now.

It just so happened to be their bad luck to bump into Chu Ge and him. Although Nangong Yunhai didn’t know what Chu Ge planned to do, with him present, even the police would not dare to trouble them.

The woman, stunned, looked at Chu Ge, "Did you just call the police?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Of course. These things must be reported to the police. We can’t settle it privately!"

Chu Ge seemed to have thought of something and leaned in to whisper in the woman’s ear, "Calling the police is a good idea. Maybe after the police get involved, my friend will end up compensating you with more money?"

The woman’s face contorted, as if she was constipated. She wanted to say something, but before she could, Chu Ge had already walked away with his phone.

The police were not far from there, and a few minutes after Chu Ge’s call, they arrived.

The officer who came looked to be about thirty years old, a bit overweight, moving with a clumsy gait.

As he approached, he immediately spotted the scamming group and his expression changed slightly as he muttered unintendedly, "Not you guys again."

The woman rushed up to him, clutching his sleeve, "Officer comrade, you must help us out here. Look, my crystal worth tens of thousands just got bumped into and shattered like this, and he refuses to compensate, insisting that I’m scamming!"

The officer cleared his throat; was it not a scam? This was not their first time.

"Alright, you guys come with me to make a statement."

The officer gestured for them to follow, and since these scammers had dealings and sturdy connections with their police station, they were often released quickly upon being detained. Seeing them as regulars, the officer didn’t hesitate and led them to the police station.

The woman saw that the officer was someone familiar and felt relieved. She turned to Shen Congwen and said, "See, I just asked you to compensate, and you refused. Now you have to go through a visit to the police station. Why bother with all this when you could’ve just paid me and be done?"

Shen Congwen looked at the woman in front of him, a brazen scammer, acting so self-righteous. Her claims about her supposedly valuable crystal were full of holes, yet she believed in her own story so firmly.

The reason for her confidence was nothing more than having powerful backers, enabling her to act with impunity. Even if she were to be detained, she’d eventually be released.

The officer, unaware of Nangong Yunhai’s identity, noticed the three people standing still and his expression darkened, "What are you folks still doing here? Come on, follow me back to the station and explain yourselves."

Nangong Yunhai stepped forward at the right moment, glanced at the officer’s ID badge, and inquired, "Who’s in charge here?"

The sudden question caught the officer off guard, "What do you mean ’who’s in charge’?"

Nangong Yunhai repeated his question, undeterred, "This area should be under Chang’an Street, subordinate to Chang’an Police Station, right?"
