When Su Xuan heard the man’s voice, he felt a surge of smugness in his heart, thinking to himself, this damn scamr actually dares to call again, there’s truly no limit to how shaless he is.
"Uh..."
At this mont, Brother Dong was about to faint. Isn’t this the person I scamd? It can’t be. I gave him a fake phone, so how could the real phone be in his hands?
In that instant, Brother Dong was utterly confused. What the hell is going on, he couldn’t rember what this was all about.
However, Brother Dong was rather composed and didn’t act rashly. Instead, he cald himself, thinking about how to retrieve the phone.
"Ahem, well, I’m the owner of this phone. I must say, young man, what you’re doing isn’t right. You know, this is illegal!"
Brother Dong even started giving a legal lecture, while Su Xuan rolled his eyes, thinking, seriously, you dare talk about breaking the law?
"Big brother, you can ss with your food, but not with your words. I spent money to buy it, how can that be illegal? We’re under Party Central here, I’ve got reason on my side. Our great Chairman Mao once said that whatever is bought with hard-earned money is legal!"
Su Xuan rattled off at length, leaving Dong speechless, thinking, am I dealing with an idiot? Chairman Mao never said anything so foolish. Yes, it must be an idiot. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he even replace the SIM card? Shouldn’t he turn off the phone and take it to the mobile company first?
"Uh, brother, you don’t understand. What you’re doing is really illegal. Don’t you know? It’s a matter of trust. Think about it, you’re handling stolen goods. Handling stolen goods, you know? Isn’t there a popular saying now: no trade, no harm? Think about it. If you hadn’t bought it, could that human trafficker have stolen the phone? A phone is like a wife, one’s enough. Having two or three not only causes more radiation but also drains your money, right?"
Brother Dong sure was clever. He managed to say such a profound phrase as "no trade, no harm." Su Xuan almost wanted to applaud.
"Oh, big brother, you’re such an intellectual! What you said was truly brilliant. I feel a sense of regret that we didn’t et sooner. Big brother, I heard from that thief you’re from Guangdong?"
Su Xuan said, wondering if he could trick this scamr one more ti. Damn, even if I can’t outwit you today, I’ll make sure you spit blood. Trying to deceive , playing tricks like substitution.
"Uh, yeah, I’m from Guangdong!"
Brother Dong even adopted a Guangdong accent, truly dedicated to his role. Su Xuan thought, scamming isn’t easy these days, they need to master all sorts of skills.
"Guangdong is great! I heard it’s like spring all year round, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and lots of pretty girls..."
Su Xuan deliberately changed the topic, while Dong really wanted to curse but didn’t dare because he feared that if he cursed and the guy hung up, he’d have to cry in the bathroom. So he could only humor Su Xuan in hopes of getting the phone back, but Su Xuan rambled on for half an hour without stopping.
"Ah, big brother, you’re really a good person. I can’t believe that damned thief stole your phone. Seriously, stealing is one thing, but he should’ve stolen a real one, not a knockoff. What was he thinking? And, big brother, how could he steal from a cultured man like you? Just hearing your voice, you seem like a red sun!"
Su Xuan rattled on with his rhetoric, while Brother Dong’s face turned green and white, being verbally beaten yet having no choice but to acquiesce.
"Brother, you’re right. Oh man, this really is sothing, isn’t it? That thief even took my phone. Brother, I cherish old things, and that phone was a gift from my wife. If it’s lost, how’s my wife going to feel?"
Brother Dong thought the most important thing now was to reason and appeal to emotions. During their conversation, Su Xuan joked about being made to kneel to a keyboard by his wife and getting beaten, portraying himself as henpecked, so Brother Dong began playing the sympathy card, depicting himself as also under his wife’s thumb, creating common ground.
"Oh, big brother, so you’re henpecked too? We’re truly brothers in adversity. I feel like I t you too late. Big brother, why not co over, and I’ll treat you to a al!"
Su Xuan appeared imnsely excited, and Brother Dong felt a surge of excitent himself, thinking, this fool really seems like a simpleton, I’m quite lucky this ti.
"Uh, maybe next ti, brother. You’re really a good person. By the way, brother, could you return my phone to ? It’s a gift from my wife. If it’s lost, my wife might argue with and divorce . What would I do then? I have two kids, they’re the flowers of our nation. If they get traumatized by a divorce, wouldn’t you say they’d be devastated?"
"Yeah, yeah, kids are truly the flowers of the nation, the future successors. They shouldn’t be hurt, shouldn’t be hurt. But big brother, I spent one thousand yuan to buy it, and that damned scamr even fooled into thinking it was real. I’m so pissed off. Hearing what you said, a new one is just eight hundred. Oh god, you see, this, this..."
Su Xuan felt like he was about to burst into laughter, thinking, my gosh, scamrs these days truly have character.
And Brother Dong was going crazy, thinking, damn it, I only charged you five hundred, since when was it one thousand?
"Didn’t you just say five hundred?"
Brother Dong asked weakly, his heart bleeding, thinking, damn it, is this fool playing ?
"Did I? I didn’t say five hundred, big brother. You don’t know, my heart was really bleeding then. You see, I only earn two thousand a month, and I spent one thousand on a phone, thinking I’d get a real Apple to make my wife happy, but it turned out to be fake. It’s really heartbreaking."
Su Xuan acted like he was deeply wounded, while Brother Dong felt an urge to bash his head against the wall, thinking, could this guy really have amnesia?
