Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, everyone looked up and indeed saw a camera mounted above the shop.
The woman's heart sank.
Damn it, how could she have forgotten about this? She hadn't turned off the camera when she lied!
Everyone chimed in, "Since there's a camera, this matter should be much easier to resolve!"
"Yes, whether it's true or false, who is right and who is wrong, we can just check the surveillance footage!"
Wu Tian gazed at the woman and said, "So, do you dare to show us the surveillance footage?"
The woman instinctively took two steps back, then said somewhat tremulously, "T-there's nothing that can't be seen. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid."
Wu Tian said, "Since that's the case, then you should bring up the surveillance footage."
"If it's truly my fault, I don't need anyone to call the police; I'll go to jail myself."
"I dare to say this, but do you dare?"
Wu Tian's gaze made the woman's mind go blank.
She shook her head and said, "No, you can't see it. My surveillance is broken, and nothing was recorded!"
"The surveillance is broken?" Wu Tian sneered. "It seems your surveillance is broken at a very opportune moment!"
As he finished speaking, Wu Tian suddenly strode forward and walked directly into the shop.
Before the woman could react, Wu Tian had already grabbed the mouse of her computer.
Wu Tian had worked a summer job as a security guard during college, and he was in charge of surveillance. Therefore, he could operate the surveillance system even with his eyes closed.
Wu Tian's actions greatly frightened the woman.
She couldn't let Wu Tian retrieve the surveillance footage, so she rushed over to grab Wu Tian, shouting, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
"This is my computer, and you're not allowed to touch it without my permission!"
"Let go! Let go of me!"
Wu Tian dealt with the woman's unreasonable behavior with extreme simplicity and roughness.
He casually pushed her, and the shop owner immediately fell to the ground.
The woman cried out in pain, then yelled, "What are you all watching for!"
"He hit me! He dared to hit me! This is clearly a terrorist! Hurry up and help me!"
The crowd hesitated. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry, and they didn't want to get into trouble.
An elderly man, mustering his courage, walked in and said to Wu Tian, "Young man, what you're doing isn't very appropriate."
"This is someone else's computer, how can you act so recklessly?"
Wu Tian completely ignored him, the light from the screen flashing in his eyes.
The old man was naturally displeased by Wu Tian's disregard, so he frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"If you ignore me, I'll really call the police."
"It's ready," Wu Tian suddenly said. He glanced at the old man and continued, "You wanted to see the surveillance footage, didn't you? Come and take a look."
The old man looked confused. He walked over and saw that Wu Tian had already extracted the surveillance footage for that period.
Wu Tian played the recording for him, and gradually, the old man's expression became serious.
"Did you see clearly?" Wu Tian asked.
The old man nodded, then cast a questioning gaze at the woman, "Boss, he clearly didn't touch you when he came in. Why did you say he wanted to commit sexual assault?"
The boss's expression froze, then she stubbornly roared, "What the hell do you mean?"
"He was clearly going to sexually assault me. Are you blind?"
The old man directly turned the computer screen and said loudly, "Everyone come in and see if I'm blind or if she's talking nonsense!"
More people walked in. As they watched the content of the surveillance footage, their expressions changed just like the old man's.
Then they all looked at the woman, and questions arose one after another:
"Boss, what do you mean? Are you deceiving us?"
"You're being dishonest. The young man clearly did nothing, and you're deceiving our feelings!"
"I believe what the young man said is true. He is innocent, but to encounter a boss like you, I won't be coming here to buy things anymore!"
The crowd's accusations continued to rise, making the woman's expression extremely awkward.
She stammered, "Well... I was mistaken. I was mistaken. It was a misunderstanding, all of this is just a misunderstanding."
However, such an explanation was naturally not satisfactory.
Everyone looked at the woman coldly, and the accusations were all directed at her.
It was estimated that from now on, her business would be ruined.
She was someone who valued money above all else, so she naturally wouldn't stand by and watch such a thing happen.
She quickly stood up and said to Wu Tian, "Young man, I'm really sorry. I was just confused for a moment!"
"How about we just let this matter go? Please, help me put in a good word."
Wu Tian said coldly, "First, change the birdcage for me."
The woman repeatedly said, "Got it, got it. I'll change it for the best one, as compensation!"
After speaking, she quickly walked over and changed it for Wu Tian, the small sun cage that cost eight hundred yuan.
Wu Tian didn't originally want the small sun cage, but since the woman had exchanged it for him, he accepted it.
The woman smiled obsequiously, "Sir, you've already exchanged the item. Now you should speak up for me, right?"
"Don't worry, I will operate with integrity in the future and will never do such a thing again!"
Wu Tian looked at her and smiled, "I'm just someone who exchanges goods. What's the point of telling me this?"
"Justice lies in people's hearts. Let everyone judge your actions."
After saying that, Wu Tian didn't linger there and quickly turned to leave.
Looking at Wu Tian's departing back, and then at the crowd pointing fingers at her, the woman's face turned ashen.
She knew her shop was probably finished, and it was all because she had provoked Wu Tian.
After returning to the car, Wu Tian placed the small sun cage inside and then drove home.
He felt no pity for that woman.
After all, it was her own doing, and it had nothing to do with him.
People who don't operate with integrity are like this. You might win many times through cunning means, but if you fail even once, then all that awaits you is self-destruction.
As Wu Tian drove on the highway, the music from the Bluetooth speaker suddenly cut off and was replaced by a ringing tone.
Wu Tian looked at the display screen, and upon seeing the caller's information, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Yang Huilan? Why was she calling?
