"Gentlemen, I understand your thinking, but from my perspective, sometimes we should take a different approach. Otherwise, it’s easy to alert the enemy."
Luo Fei reminded them.
Making the two of them look at each other in dismay.
"But officer, if we don’t conduct a thorough inspection, how can we determine if this person is among us?"
Seeing the beads of sweat on the two people’s foreheads.
They seemed a bit nervous, afraid of being blamed.
However, Luo Fei seemed to completely overlook the complex expressions on their faces.
Instead, he asked Li Yu.
"Li Yu, by the way, have you been wearing the same pair of sneakers these past two days?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s gaze sweep down to his ankles.
Li Yu felt a bit embarrassed.
"Really, Mr. Luo? I didn’t even notice."
Seeing Li Yu a bit at a loss, with a dodging gaze.
Luo Fei laughed as well.
"Li Yu, don’t be nervous. I’m just saying. Don’t take it too seriously."
However, in Luo Fei’s eyes, the sneakers Li Yu was wearing, though washed white, were indeed very old.
So, he suggested.
"Li Yu, how about this? Later, you come with me to buy a new pair of shoes. I’ll pay."
"Mr. Luo, since when have you become so generous?"
But as soon as Li Yu said this, Luo Fei amusingly replied.
"Li Yu, shouldn’t I ask when I was ever not generous?"
Seeing Luo Fei between laughter and tears.
Knowing he had said something wrong.
Li Yu’s face turned red immediately.
"No."
But then, the next second, Li Yu realized.
Luo Fei had proposed this request suddenly.
Just for the investigation.
But because he didn’t know Luo Fei well.
At this moment, the lobby manager also spoke apologetically.
"Officer, I understand that you’ve always been dedicated and hardworking, never slacking off. And this time, coming here to investigate, must have been very exhausting for you."
"So how about this, we just give you two pairs of shoes as a gift. You don’t have to buy them yourself."
But seeing the other party’s expectant face.
Luo Fei quickly explained.
"Manager, you’re mistaken. I’m not doing this to buy shoes. I’m doing it for the investigation."
While speaking, he pulled Li Yu and walked out decisively.
At the same time, he signaled wildly to Huang Manli.
"Miss Huang, that mistake of yours is really too basic. I hope you don’t make such errors again. After all, it’s not good for your own future promotion. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself!"
Seeing Luo Fei signaling to her intensely.
Huang Manli quickly agreed.
"Officer, I really apologize. I didn’t do it on purpose. How about this? I’ll return the last pair of shoes for you. I shouldn’t have deliberately hiked the price to deceive you. This time, I’ll give you a 50% discount. I’ll make up the difference myself. Is that okay?"
Huang Manli spoke with some expectation.
A bit nervous, with a fine layer of sweat emerging on her forehead.
But Luo Fei continued relentlessly.
"No need, it’s really bad luck. I don’t need your service. After all, I’m not worthy. Manager, find someone to help my girlfriend pick out some high heels!"
Saying so, Luo Fei deliberately held onto Li Yu’s arm, making her cling to him.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of several people on duty in the store.
"This Mr. Luo is really going to do it!"
Li Yu blushed with embarrassment at this moment.
She really didn’t expect.
Luo Fei would do such a thing.
But at this moment, Li Yu even hoped for a moment.
That this wasn’t Luo Fei acting, but rather him speaking his true feelings.
As soon as this thought appeared.
Li Yu immediately shook her head.
Quickly dismissing the thought.
"What am I thinking, I’m really overthinking."
Almost at the same time, the manager also realized that Luo Fei was acting.
So he cleared his throat.
And looked around.
"Everyone, I know you want to improve your performance."
"But sometimes, I hope your minds can be clear and not do anything foolish!"
The manager said, sweeping his gaze around.
"Additionally, I sincerely hope that everyone can learn from this. I know you’re eager to sell, but forcefully pushing expensive products on others leads to such outcomes."
As the manager spoke.
Luo Fei pointed to a girl nearby, who was lowering her head.
"Young lady, how about you help my girlfriend pick out some shoes? I can tell you have similar shoe sizes, so you should know what she needs."
Hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.
The other person, although hesitant.
Could only agree.
"I understand, officer. Please calm down."
With the other person nodding.
Luo Fei finally let out a sigh of relief.
"That’s right. Help my girlfriend pick out some shoes, and I’ll definitely buy a few more pairs to boost your performance."
Luo Fei beamed with satisfaction, looking at the other person.
The young lady also let out a slight breath of relief at this moment.
But in Li Yu’s heart, she couldn’t help but wonder.
"Although Mr. Luo acted really well, how can he be sure if this girl is the one threatening Huang Manli?"
Li Yu thought originally.
Luo Fei would catch the mastermind directly.
But to her surprise, Luo Fei indeed just bought two pairs of shoes.
Then left the mall with her.
"Mr. Luo, aren’t we catching anyone?"
At this moment, Li Yu was genuinely dumbfounded.
Her face was full of disbelief.
But Luo Fei smiled and answered.
"Li Yu, don’t be excited. I’m just casting a long line to catch a big fish. Besides, after my observation just now, that young lady is likely not among the suspects."
Just hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.
Li Yu couldn’t help but turn gloomy.
"Oh, so it turns out Mr. Luo also isn’t sure if the suspect is among this group?"
Li Yu said, pursing her lips.
But Luo Fei analyzed earnestly.
"Li Yu, there’s no need to be nervous. After all, there’s nothing we can do if we’re anxious about these things."
"I’m not in a rush. But thinking that Mr. Luo spent money on two pairs of shoes, costing nearly a thousand in total, I feel really bad. I shouldn’t have let Mr. Luo spend so much."
But watching Li Yu murmur softly, with guilt and embarrassment written on her face.
Luo Fei just laughed it off.
"Li Yu, you’re overthinking this."
"Besides, even if we didn’t catch that person today, if she comes to work tomorrow and hears about us buying sneakers, she might react. I’ve already informed Huang Manli and the manager to keep an eye on her. So we should know the situation by tomorrow noon, and there’s really no need to rush."
Luo Fei analyzed seriously.
This made Li Yu feel a wave of admiration.
"Mr. Luo, I hadn’t expected you to be so smart?"
"That’s a given. If I weren’t smart, how could I outwit these criminals? It’s all experience accumulated over time."
Luo Fei spoke, casually taking out a shopping card.
"Besides, the money we spent wasn’t ours, so there’s nothing to fret about."
Seeing the shopping card worth over two thousand.
Li Yu was somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Luo, where did this shopping card come from?"
"Borrowed from Boss Huang."
...
At this moment.
Li Yu finally understood why Luo Fei, who was usually frugal and rarely footed the bill himself, was willing to pay up this time.
"So it turns out he was borrowing flowers to present to Buddha."
Li Yu said, her mouth twitching slightly.
Finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Luo Fei patiently explained.
"Isn’t this just resource recycling? Besides, it was Huang Weiming who said he had the shopping card, and you get a bonus of five hundred when recharging a thousand. Half the money we spent was gifted by someone else. Rounding it off, it’s practically free."
