Chapter 142: Fashionable Luxury Watches

“Can you accompany me shopping this afternoon?” Su Muyu asked, tapping her index finger with eager anticipation.

Lu Feng was checking her pulse by holding her wrist. Without looking up, he asked, “Don’t you have class this afternoon?”

“It’s Professor Wang’s class. I’d rather not go.” Ever since that incident, Su Muyu had not dared attend Wang Shunyi’s lectures. She was too mild-tempered and worried that going to class would be awkward.

“He still has the nerve to teach?” Lu Feng asked, his eyes widening.

“Oh, come on… He is a deputy professor, after all. Teaching is his job. Besides, ever since that incident, many students have stopped attending his classes,” Su Muyu said.

“A man like that becoming a professor is simply misleading students. He ought to be kicked out of the Chinese Medicine Association.” Whenever Lu Feng recalled Wang Shunyi’s smug expression after misdiagnosing someone, he felt that the man was nothing more than a disgrace to traditional Chinese medicine.

“Don’t be so fierce! Mr. Liang even went to the trouble of sending you a ceremonial banner. Professor Wang has already been humiliated enough.” Su Muyu glanced at the banner hanging on the wall.

A few days after Mr. Liang’s leg had been cured, he had brought over a ceremonial banner.

Lu Feng had originally thought that if he accepted a banner every time he cured someone, the entire clinic would eventually be buried under them, so he had not wanted to accept it. Su Dao’an, however, had taken the matter seriously. Not only had he accepted the banner, he had hung it in the consultation room as well.

The otherwise respectable consultation room now had a bright red banner hanging in it, and no matter how Lu Feng looked at it, it seemed irritatingly out of place.

“All right. I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway. I’ll accompany you and help you relax,” Lu Feng agreed.

Su Muyu happily nodded. “Then I’ll go home and change.”

“Aren’t you dressed perfectly well already?” Lu Feng could not understand why women were always changing clothes.

“Oh, come on… The sun is so strong today. Even if I don’t change, I at least need to put on a hat.” With that, Su Muyu left.

…

Inside the shopping mall at Starlight Plaza, Lu Feng strolled hand in hand with Su Muyu. Together, they looked like a perfect young couple.

Su Muyu seemed to have had a destination in mind from the start. She pulled Lu Feng into a specialty store selling luxury watches.

Just as they reached the entrance, a man and a woman came out. As they passed each other, the man suddenly stopped and looked Lu Feng and Su Muyu up and down provocatively.

“What a small world. A place where every watch costs tens of thousands—is it somewhere people like you should be shopping?”

Lu Feng and Su Muyu exchanged a puzzled glance. Both saw bewilderment in the other’s eyes. Neither of them knew the man, so they had no idea why he was saying such things.

The man who had provoked them looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Every item of clothing he wore, from his leather jacket to his leather trousers, was a designer brand. The woman on his arm was quite attractive with her makeup on, though whether anyone would recognize her after she removed it was another matter.

…

Lu Feng and Su Muyu had never seen the man before. They could not be bothered to quarrel with him, so they walked straight into the store.

It was a Roger Dubuis boutique. The brand did not have a particularly long history, but in just twenty years it had risen to the ranks of the world’s leading luxury watchmakers.

Su Muyu pulled Lu Feng toward a display counter and happily leaned over it. Pointing at a watch inside the glass case, she said to the sales assistant, “Could you take this one out for me?”

It was the latest watch in the BR series, with a white-gold case and black hour markers. It had a distinctly elegant style. The letters BR stood for “Brave Warrior.”

Su Muyu took the watch and pressed it against Lu Feng’s wrist. Raising his arm to examine it, she asked happily, “Isn’t it beautiful?”

The watch was indeed excellent. Even someone who knew nothing about fashion or luxury brands could tell from its appearance and craftsmanship that it was a fine piece.

Lu Feng nodded. “It’s quite nice.”

“If you like it, I’ll give it to you.” Seeing that Lu Feng liked it too, Su Muyu became even happier.

In fact, she had visited this store several times and had taken a liking to the watch long ago. She simply had never had the chance to go shopping with Lu Feng.

…

At that moment, the same couple they had encountered at the entrance followed them into the store.

The man suddenly reached out and snatched the BR watch away. Tossing it lightly in his hand, he sneered, “A BR, huh? It costs a hundred and ten thousand. Are you sure a lowly cop like you can afford it?”

“What are you doing? We were still looking at that watch.” Su Muyu frowned angrily when he took it away.

“Watch your mouth, bitch. Look at the price first. A hundred and ten thousand—not eleven. With a cop’s miserable salary, can you actually afford it?” the man mocked.

Seeing how thoroughly obnoxious the man was, Lu Feng reached out and seized his wrist, squeezing until the bones cracked loudly.

“Ah! Ah!”

The man cried out twice in agony, and the watch fell from his hand.

Lu Feng caught it, then tossed the man aside.

“So you’re going to use force, huh?” The man immediately flew into a rage. Pointing at the security cameras on either side, he shouted, “There are cameras here! You’re using force, aren’t you? So what if you’re cops? Don’t think you can get away with this! I’ll sue you into the ground!”

Cops?

Why was this man calling the two of them police officers?

Lu Feng and Su Muyu realized almost simultaneously that the man must have mistaken Su Muyu for Su Muqing.

There was no need to think about it. Su Muqing must have offended this man while carrying out her duties as a police officer, and after running into her by chance, he had deliberately come looking for trouble.

Anyone who could become enemies with the police was unlikely to be a decent person.

Su Muyu was already in poor health, and Lu Feng did not want her to become too tired. He decided they should go home as soon as possible.

“We’ll take this watch. Please wrap it up for us.” Lu Feng handed the watch to the sales assistant.

The man immediately lunged forward and snatched it from the assistant’s hands.

“You filthy cop bitch, buying a hundred-and-ten-thousand watch? You’re either taking bribes or selling yourself. Miss, I want this watch. I’ll take every watch in this model as well!”

“How can you behave like this?” Su Muyu was becoming angry. She had come to see this watch several times and genuinely wanted it, hoping to buy it as a gift for Lu Feng.

“I’m rich. What are you going to do about it? Not happy? Put handcuffs on me and arrest me, then! I don’t change my name and I don’t hide behind an alias. My name is Yuan Jianhui. If you’ve got the nerve, arrest me!” Yuan Jianhui taunted arrogantly.

Su Muyu pursed her lips, clearly irritated, but she was not accustomed to arguing with people. She turned to the sales assistant and asked, “Do you have any more of this watch?”

“No. This is the last one from this series in the entire store,” the assistant replied.

“Enough with the act. A police officer makes only two or three thousand a month. Can you afford a watch worth a hundred and ten thousand? If you dare buy it, I’ll report you for accepting bribes.” Yuan Jianhui waved the watch around smugly.

The woman accompanying Yuan Jianhui pressed herself against him and said disdainfully, “Exactly. If you can’t afford anything, don’t come shopping in a luxury watch store. It’s embarrassing to look without buying. Young Master Yuan, I want that one.”

“You want to be some elegant songstress, do you?” Yuan Jianhui chuckled as he pinched the woman’s chin. “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll buy it for you.”

“Thank you, Young Master Yuan…” The woman leaned coquettishly against him, rubbing her breasts against him with exaggerated enthusiasm.
