Chapter 175 - 175: Fainted
“C-call the police?” The other party said in a panic, “There’s no need to call the police. 1 don’t want to trouble you. My medical expenses are all paid with proof of payment. You only need to compensate me for the medical expenses and the loss of work.”
At that time, Ling Xue had told her that Pei Xin had just started streaming and would definitely pay special attention to her reputation. Calling the police would take a long time to investigate, so she did not dare to do so at all.
However, Pei Xin still smiled, but her eyes were cold.
“I insist. We have to police. Like you said, your face has been severely injured. The compensation might be more than a hundred thousand dollars. Such a high amount needs to be investigated by the police before it can proceed. Moreover, we signed a contract with PD. Every product of theirs is internationally recognized and has been inspected by customs before coming here. Pei Xin paused and said in an unquestionable tone, “Such a serious matter has occurred, and it involves many departments and many people. It’s inevitable for the police to participate in the investigation.”
“What?!” The other party gulped and looked incredulous. “Do you know how long it will take to investigate all of this?”
“No matter how long the investigation takes, we have to give you the justice you deserve.” Pei Xin said seriously, “Moreover, the Lu Corporation has taken part in this matter as well. Don’t worry. Leave your contact information and our staff will immediately arrange the best hospital checkup for you. As long as what you say is the truth, we will definitely compensate you rightfully.”
She emphasized the word truth, but the other party closed the connection in a panic.
Pei Xin just smiled and continued today’s live thereafter.
That night, the matter of Pei Xin selling fake goods became a hot topic. Many people even came out to prove that they had indeed bought fake goods in Pei Xin’s live room.
[I thought 1 got a big bargain, but I only found out that it was fake after using it once. My face has been swollen for three days! We must get Pei Xin to give us an explanation!]
[Everyone, look at my lipstick box. There’s no anti-counterfeit code for the brand at all. This is absolutely fake. The color of the lipstick is also wrong!]
[This gift box is worlds apart from the one I bought at the counter. Which small factory is this from? I opened the box and refused to return it. How disgusting!]
[Pei Xin has been in prison before. What hasn’t she done? Maybe she learned how to fake things in prison.]
Although there were also netizens who supported Pei Xin and proved that she had obtained the genuine product, they were immediately refuted by the trolls. Most people thought that Pei Xin sold half fake and half real goods, so not everyone could go against her.
The denunciation grew stronger and stronger. Some people even posted all kinds of pictures to compare the real and fake. The genuine brand logo had a small tail in the upper left corner, but the fake ones did not have it at all. One could only tell if one looked closely.
Ling Xue felt extremely comfortable when she saw the insults directed at Pei Xin. Especially when she saw the huge drop in Pei Xin’s live sales that day, she almost laughed out loud.
Unfortunately, Ling Xue was not happy for long. The next morning, four police officers came to the door of her ward.
“Are you guys crazy? Would the eldest daughter of the Pei family break the law?!” Shen Wei blocked the door firmly.
Initially, Shen Wei and Pei Jue came to see Ling Xue for a short visit, but they did not expect to see the police walking over.
It was precisely because they were going to arrest the Pei family this time that the police station sent a total of four people as they were afraid that there would be any conflict.
“Madam Pei, we have substantial evidence. Someone reported that Ling Xue was selling fake goods in the live room, which has caused many people to be hospitalized.” The leading police officer said in a serious voice, “THe brand, PD, has already called the police. They’ve already submitted their evidence to the police. The person in charge of the counterfeit factory has also identified Ling Xue as the one who instructed them to make the counterfeit goods. Everything leads to her.”
Annie stepped forward. “I’m sorry, but Ling Xue has to go back to the police station with us to cooperate with the investigation.”
However, Pei Jue refused to budge. “My sister is not in good health. If she goes to the police station with you, will you be responsible for her medical care?”
“The police station is also willing to cooperate with such matters. We will evaluate her condition and receive treatment in time if there are any problems.” Annie looked at him with disdain. “Oh right, she’s not the only one who has to go to the police station. The people who participated in the live that day, as well as Lu Li, are already there. So please move aside and don’t interfere with official business!”
Annie had been suppressed by Pei Jue and Lu Li before, so she didn’t like them.
Now that she finally had evidence to prove that these people had committed a crime, she stood tall.
However, as soon as she opened the door, Ling Xue wailed and fainted on the hospital bed..
