First of all, it wasn’t a random thief, he broke in with a purpose. Perhaps he’s the same person as the suspected virgin, the one who kept asking about our products but never bought anything. Why did he come to my house to look through our goods? But if he never ordered anything from us, how did he even find our address?

Did he hire a private detective to do an investigation?

A private… detective.

I remembered that the first time the suspected virgin contacted me was shockingly similar to the time when the private detective was following me by the lakeside.

They might even be the same person! I come into contact with way too many customers a day, so I didn’t really pay attention.

Maybe Ai ShuQiao hired a private detective to pretend to be the suspected virgin to find out information about me.

Damn, what did you even learn? Did you find the photos of Xiao Qin and the class leader hidden under my bed, or the nude photos of Shu Zhe saved on my laptop? Even if you reported it to Ai ShuQiao, she would only think her son is bisexual and it doesn’t really affect me.

Which means the crucial point still revolves around the Taiwanese counterfeit goods.

My second aunt, who used to run a sporting equipment business, once told me she was reported by a store across from her who was in the industry. They said she was selling fake Wish tennis rackets and the Commerce and Industry Bureau (CIB) came and confiscated all her fake tennis rackets, then she paid ¥5000 in fines to get the rackets back.

It’s hilarious how you can use money to buy it back. If they really wanted to fight back against counterfeit goods, they should just destroy it without letting them buy it back.

But it seems like they increased the punishment for counterfeit goods, so much so that they fine you 10-15 times the cost. As long as they receive a tip-off, they will visit for an inspection with no questions asked.

Shit, that means they want us to get fined! The three boxes of products are worth ¥15,000. If we get fined ¥150,000, then we will go bankrupt!

Not good, I have to move quickly. The private detective might have already made a report to the CIB, so I have to get rid of these three boxes before they arrive.

At 8 pm, as expected, a vice section chief from the CIB arrived with two subordinates. One of the subordinates was tall and the other one was short. The three of them knocked at my front door.

After displaying their ID, they said they received a tip-off and they need to search my home for counterfeit goods.

I tried to make my most amicable expression and gladly welcomed them inside. I poured the vice section chief a hot cup of tea and sat next to him. I chatted with him while smiling and watching the other two search our inventory.

I purposely didn’t open the AC even though it was an extremely hot day. They were the ones who came to my house looking for trouble, so they were too embarrassed to ask me to open the AC. The vice section chief spent a long time holding the hot cup of tea without taking a sip. The two subordinates spent over 40 minutes searching and their entire shirts were drenched in sweat.

“There’s nothing here.” The tall one said, “Also, these goods are… how can they just leave it around and let a student watch the house?”

The short one didn’t give up: “Section chief, let’s try looking in another room. He definitely got tipped off and hid it.”

I panicked. It would be pretty embarrassing if they found the sealed box full of pictures of Xiao Qin.

The vice section chief waved his hand, “No need. Look at how calm and composed this fella is. There’s a high chance we got played. There are still two more places to visit and we should be able to fine them.”

I’m not sure if he meant he got played by the private detective or by me. It’s a good thing he was astute, otherwise, I would have turned on the AC to start blowing hot air.

The three of them admitted it was bad luck. I continuously bowed as they left and said:

“You’re welcome to come again!”

The vice section chief got angry and almost sprained his ankle while walking down the stairs.

As for those three boxes of counterfeit goods, I gave a call to the courier who always comes to my house. I promised him to give him an extra ¥100 if he came immediately and delivered the boxes to Director Cao’s home.

There’s no point keeping these goods, so might as well give all of it to Director Cao. I hope he can put it to good use when filming AV in the future.

I might not be talented, but at least I made a meager contribution to the Chinese AV industry.

Oh, Ai ShuQiao, the detective you hired is a huge letdown. Why don’t you send more people to take care of me?

By the way, there’s a saying that you’re not a man if you don’t get revenge. Since I was able to take a picture of the private detective’s license plate, and I also have a video of him ‘bumping’ into gramps. I might as well post the video online and ask people to dox him. I could even pretend gramps got a serious injury. I could say he was the one who injured gramps’ waist… It’ll be an online witch hunt.

After calming down a bit, I took into account that gramps might have a reputation in the martial arts world, so I didn’t post the video. I went on a popular forum and uploaded the license plate number. I said that the owner of the car escaped after hitting a pregnant woman, but the driver had high-up connections and the police wouldn’t catch him.

The netizens were very enthusiastic and people were eager to show results. But before anyone could dox him, another even more shocking post was made. Its title was “Driver repeatedly runs over two elementary school students which caused their deaths, while he also broke their father’s legs”. As a result, everyone’s enthusiasm was attracted over there all at once. There were a lot of chivalrous discussions, things like how they would take revenge for the victims… Basically, there’s no one left paying attention to my post.

When I went to check my post the next day, it had already dropped to the sixth page.

I felt frustrated but could only let it go.
