Chapter 196 Life is too boring
Eric smiled and nodded, and went back to the sales area, then walked towards the anti-theft door again. But when he reached the anti-theft door, the piercing alarm rang out again.
Two security guards next to him didn't hesitate to grab him. "Sorry, sir, please come with us, because we suspect you have stolen something from our supermarket."
At this moment, Tang Feiyan came over, looking puzzled. "Eric, what's going on?"
"Miss Tang?" Surprisingly, the first one to speak was the refined gentleman. He looked puzzled and said, "Is this your friend? Ah, he stole something from the supermarket and was caught red-handed..."
"It's you?" Tang Feiyan glanced at the refined gentleman, pointed at Eric, and said, "He's my boyfriend!" Then she leaned against Eric and whispered, "Eric, he's the scholar my parents arranged for me to meet before..."
Seeing their intimate appearance, the refined gentleman felt a surge of anger. He was about to explode, but found that Eric's charming smile made him feel uneasy about his previous confidence in his plan.
"Sir, please come with us to the security office..."
"Wait..." Tang Feiyan stood in front of Eric as if protecting him, and aggressively said to the several security guards surrounding them, "What did he steal from the supermarket? Why should he go with you..."
Eric suddenly patted Tang Feiyan, took out a small square box from his pocket, and said, "They might be talking about this!"
A nearby staff member exclaimed, "This is an eight-thousand-dollar platinum bracelet from our supermarket's counter..."
Everyone didn't know why Eric took out this "evidence" on his own, only Tang Feiyan looked at him thoughtfully, then looked at the refined gentleman, with a strange look in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
"Oh, so you like this bracelet?" The refined gentleman exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Really, if you can't afford it, why don't you tell Miss Tang? In her eyes, a platinum bracelet is nothing at all. What you did is embarrassing. After all, your girlfriend is also a high society person. I really can't understand the minds of you grassroots, probably because of different levels of education."
"You'd better be polite!" Tang Feiyan said coldly.
"I said something wrong?" The refined gentleman said confidently, "No wonder Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang are so nervous. How can this freeloading, thieving pretty boy be worthy of you..."
Tang Feiyan was furious, about to retort, but was stopped by Eric.
Patting Tang Feiyan's cheek soothingly, Eric sneered and looked at the refined gentleman, his eyes flashing with a hint of provocation. "An eight-thousand-dollar bracelet could ruin someone's life!"
The refined gentleman looked indifferent. "What are you looking at me for? Now Miss Tang's boyfriend is you, not me. If you stole something and embarrassed her, even if your lifelong innocence is ruined because of your greed, it's your own fault. You can't blame others!"
"Such a pity." Eric shook his head regretfully. "I was originally going to let someone off the hook out of kindness, but since you insist like this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Looking at the supermarket staff, Eric smiled and said, "I want to see the surveillance video inside the supermarket."
"Why?"
"Everyone can carefully observe the wonderful process of me stealing just now and see if I have the potential to be a pickpocket in the future?"
"You go, I have something to do..." The refined gentleman looked busy, turned around to leave, but was pulled back by Eric.
"It's no fun if you don't go. Didn't you conclude that I'm a thief? It's your honor to watch my performance for free!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Eric's domineering attitude that brooked no opposition, the refined gentleman couldn't help but feel flustered. "But..."
"No buts, go when I tell you to!" Eric looked at the supermarket staff again. "What are you still doing here? Lead the way to the surveillance room!"
Facing such a reasonable request, the supermarket staff naturally couldn't refuse, so they led them to the monitoring room and played back the video.
"Wow! I didn't expect you, Eric, to be so photogenic. Your profile expression is so perfect and charming! With your appearance far better than celebrities, why not try acting in movies or TV shows? You can definitely charm countless people. Maybe you can even win the Golden Bear Award, Golden Rooster Award, Golden Statue Award, or Golden Horse Award!"
In the monitoring room, Tang Feiyan leaned tightly against Eric, her eyes fixed on the monitor, watching every moment of her man in the surveillance video, commenting on each scene without blinking, regardless of the strange and surprised expressions of others.
At this moment, the scene finally showed the moment when the refined gentleman accidentally stumbled forward. The camera zoomed in on this, and Eric had someone operate the monitor's switch to slow down the playback.
Now, everyone clearly saw the refined gentleman taking the opportunity to stretch out his hand to borrow force from Eric, and stuffing the small box into his pocket. This was clearly a setup to frame Eric. What was even more unbelievable was that after the refined gentleman stuffed the small box into Eric's pocket, Eric mischievously blinked at the surveillance camera installed in the sales area.
Seeing this, the refined gentleman looked at the people watching him in confusion. It turned out that even his handsome face couldn't hide his embarrassment.
"Poor acting, clumsy movements. With just these moves, you want to frame someone?" Eric, who had seen countless great films, gave a merciless evaluation of the refined gentleman's performance.
"You already knew that I put the bracelet in your pocket, why did you still walk away?" The refined gentleman felt like he was being played by Eric, and he couldn't forget Eric's mischievous look when the camera slowed down.
Eric played with the small box leisurely, smiling somewhat evilly.
"Life is too boring. Can't I play a little?"
The refined gentleman finally couldn't help but cover his face with both hands and ran out in embarrassment.
Watching his back, Tang Feiyan asked bitterly, "Eric, are you just letting him go like this?"
"Just let it go!" Eric said indifferently, "Someone like him can't stir up any waves! Besides, we should leave your parents some face!"
"He's getting off too easily..."
