Chapter 1299

"Coming; one second!"

While Lexx got dressed, he thought about it. His house was located in a well-known high-end residential district in Casterwich City. The security was stringent, so in theory, they wouldn't be scammers if they could enter! He couldn't be so hapless as to be targeted by scammers, could he? Besides, they probably have a death wish impersonating the police!

On his way to open the door, he habitually checked his phone. No unusual calls or texts; no acquaintances contacted him either!

F*cking hell!

When he answered the door, there really were two men in police uniforms standing there, looking quite convincing. The two were polite, unlike how they rapped his door earlier; one even took his badge out and showed it to him.

"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Lopez, but we have something that requires your cooperation. We tried calling several times, but you didn't answer, so we can only come to you..."

Lexx narrowed his eyes as he checked his recent calls.

Seeing a familiar number, the officer pointed at it. "This one, this is our division's office number!"

"Oh..." So, not scammers!

Lexx knocked his head, feeling heavy from the hangover he was suffering, before asking, "What can I help you with?"

"Here's the thing, a young lady feasted in Galaxy Hotel and also bought a lot of luxury goods, but she didn't pay for any of them. So she was sued for beating the check and is suspected of fraud. Because the sum involved is quite large and we can't reach an agreement, well have to file a case. That young lady wouldn't disclose anything, only insisting that you incited her to do so. She had even provided her chat history with you. According to the law, it'd be a significant case if the sum exceeded three hundred thousand dollars. Plus, more than one business is involved, so we'll need you to come with us..."

Hearing that, Lexx had a good idea of what was going on. The scammer from last night! How was she so dead set on him?!

Then again, how stupid was she, already spending the money she didn't have, and even stupid enough to get caught!

"Mr. Lopez?"

Coming back to his senses, he said, "I don't know this woman! You guys can do whatever you want with her!"

After exchanging a glance, the leading officer explained.

"Mr. Lopez, I think you might have mistaken. The young lady insisted that you incited her. If this case is really filed, you'll become the instigator of this incident, and you'll have to come with us then. Well... You're also somebody, and we still can't get to the bottom of this issue; that's why we came, hoping you can come with us and settle it once and for all! If it's a misunderstanding, it's best to solve it quickly. If it isn't, it's still better to confront face to face. If we really have to file this case..."

The officer subconsciously frowned as he stopped his words there. It would become a major deal, and not just about anybody could change the course then!

Personally, he didn't want to file it. What was more, her outfit looked expensive, very unlikely a scammer! Generally, things would've been over if they checked their identity, but she didn't have any ID on her, and she wouldn't answer any questions either. Worst of all, their supervisor ran into it and asked that they treat it seriously.

He may have said it out of habit, but they dared not snub it lest he actually meant it, and they'd be doomed if they couldn't give him a satisfactory
