"What do you want from me?"
"I want the receipt."
"I didn't buy the Electric Bike."
"Then go buy one."
"Why should I buy it?"
"If you don't buy it, I won't leave!"
Saying this, old man Li simply sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
"Everyone come and see, this young man is bullying an old man like me, it's outrageous..."
I was really at my wit's end with old man Li clinging to me, so I had to say, "If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."
As soon as old man Li heard this, he immediately stopped crying out.
He stood up and glared at me: "Go ahead, call the police! That way they can come and arrest you!"
I frowned: "I haven't done anything wrong; why would the police arrest me?"
"Just because you stole my Battery!"
"You're talking nonsense! When did I steal your Battery?"
"You did steal it; I saw it clearly!"
While crying, he took out his phone and dialed the police.
"Hello, police? I want to report something."
"What’s going on?"
"Someone is bullying me here; I... I can't go on living."
"Send me your address, and we'll be there right away."
The old man reported the address and then looked at me fiercely.
"You wait, young man. When the police arrive, you'll be in for it."
"Bad deeds must be punished."
"You and the Unethical Merchant are cut from the same cloth."
"I spit!"
I was stunned by the old man's actions.
Is this... is this old man crazy?
How could he have the nerve to call the police?
How could he have the nerve to scold me?
He stole the Battery, causing an explosion, and yet he blames me?
He wants the police to punish me?
This is too shameless.
I was so angry that I trembled all over, wishing I could punch the old man.
Twenty minutes later, the police arrived at the scene.
At that moment, both old man Li and I were sitting on the ground.
"What happened?"
The police officer asked us both.
old man Li spoke up first: "Officer, you finally made it! You have to stand up for me."
"What exactly happened?"
"This young man has a dark heart."
"He... he stole my Battery and won't admit it."
"My son and neighbor were injured in the explosion, and he doesn't care at all."
"He even said I deserved it, that my son and neighbor deserved to die."
"Officer, please arrest him; he's committing a crime."
"He can't bully me like this."
Upon hearing this, the police officer was instantly bewildered.
"Wait a minute, old man, take your time."
"Who stole your battery?"
"What does this kid have to do with it?"
The old man cried, "It was him who stole my battery, which caused the explosion and injured my son and my neighbor."
"This is murder."
"Officer, you should execute him."
The police officer looked confused: "Old man, are you mistaken? How does him stealing your battery relate to the explosion?"
old man Li was at a loss for words.
"Officer, don't listen to his nonsense; I didn't steal his battery at all."
"Then why won't he give me the receipt?"
old man Li shouted.
The officer asked in confusion, "Receipt? What receipt?"
"The receipt for the electric bike I bought."
The officer inquired, "What exactly is going on here?"
old man Li began to cry again.
"Officer, you don't know my situation..."
"A while ago, I stole a battery from this young man's house. I intended to sell it for some money to pay for my son's medical treatment. But then, the battery I stole turned out to be defective. As soon as I used it, it exploded and injured my son and my neighbor. Now I really don't have any money to pay for their treatment; I can only find a way to resolve this with the manufacturer. So, I came to ask this young man for the receipt because I stole the battery from his house. He is the consumer; only he has the receipt and can contact the manufacturer for a solution. But who would have thought he absolutely refuses to give me the receipt? Officer, what should I do?"
After hearing old man Li's words, the officer seemed to understand.
"So what you're saying is that you stole this young man's battery, and then the battery exploded and injured your son and neighbor, so you came to ask him for a receipt to get help from the manufacturer?"
"Yes."
"Is that what you mean?"
