Chapter 726 Double Standard Dog
How could Wu Yuan go with the scalper? Undercover investigation comes second, safety comes first.
He immediately said:
"Then wait a moment. I'll tell my uncle not to wait in line. But don't tell him how much it is, or he'll accuse me of being extravagant."
The scalper was stunned. There were still people queuing up. But that was normal, as the man came with his uncle.
Look at the tender skin of this college student. Those who can go to college these days have good family conditions. College students can't stand the hardship of queuing. The scalper immediately smiled and said:
"I understand, I understand everything!"
Because the Lantern Festival had not yet begun, there were relatively abundant tickets available. Wu Yuan just waited for a while, and someone came out of the station and brought him four tickets.
The square in front of the train station is crowded with people.
People are coming and going, some carrying bags on their shoulders or in their hands, some carrying large and small bags, calling their children, making the scene very lively.
The bodyguards carefully escorted Wu Yuan through the crowd and lined up at the security checkpoint.
The head bodyguard had passed the security check in advance at some point. Otherwise, he and his companions would not have been able to pass the security check smoothly. They couldn't just wait for others to find out that they were carrying firearms and then show them their ID, right?
Isn’t that completely exposed?
Even if people take a look at the ID, they still have to verify its authenticity, right?
Otherwise, a thief could just forge an ID and bring a weapon into the car, and wouldn't he be able to rob a lot of money?
Because the head bodyguard had given notice in advance and reserved sufficient time for the station staff to verify via phone, the staff at the security check point simply glanced at the IDs of the other two bodyguards, pretended to search them a few times, and pretended not to see the gun-shaped and knife-shaped images scanned by the security check machine and let them pass.
If they hadn't been following Wu Yuan, they could have gone directly through the special passage.
They can be exposed to the staff, but Wu Yuan cannot be exposed to the staff, right?
Wu Yuan carried his luggage to the waiting hall, found the location of his train, and bought some drinks and snacks to enjoy on the train.
He didn't need to worry about the bodyguards, he just needed to be careful and not suddenly disappear from their sight.
The station is generally clean and tidy. The loudspeakers remind passengers in multiple languages every now and then:
"Don't spit or litter. If you are caught once, you will be fined 20 yuan!"
In addition to the reminders through loudspeakers, there were also patrol officers wearing red armbands walking around in the crowd, their eyes shining, looking at everyone as a bad element who spit and littered everywhere.
Even so, there were still cleaning staff in orange uniforms cleaning the place, and they looked at the patrol officers with a bit of resentment:
How did you check? There is still so much garbage?
Wu Yuan saw a middle-aged man just coughed, and two patrolmen rushed over. Then he saw the middle-aged man's mouth move and he swallowed the phlegm back.
The two patrolmen returned in disappointment and said goodbye to the 20 yuan performance.
They glared at each other:
If you hadn't rushed in so fast, that person would have vomited! It's all your fault!
Wu Yuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he turned around and stood. He didn't have a seat anyway.
Speaking of which, he felt that there were not many seats in the station.
Many people can only sit on the ground or lean against the wall. Those people may have been waiting for a long time and don’t mind much.
After all, the air conditioning in the waiting room is turned on very high, and it is much cooler than outside, isn't it?
Wu Yuan saw a patrol officer rushing towards a passenger at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, grabbing the passenger's arm, pointing at the ground and saying something. The passenger tried hard to explain himself, but in the end he had no choice but to pay the money and accept the punishment.
The passenger mumbled something as he walked. Wu Yuan ate some biscuits and drank some Coke, feeling a bit gloating:
"I told you not to protect the environment and litter!"
Just after I finished laughing at others, a head popped out from the side and said:
"Comrade, you are littering, please fine me twenty yuan!"
Wu Yuan was stunned, raised the biscuits and Coke in his hand, and said:
"I have them in my hands, what right do you have to accuse me of littering?"
The patrol pointed to the biscuit crumbs on the ground and said:
"These crumbs should be the same as the biscuits in your hand, right? There's no one else eating biscuits here!"
Wu Yuan couldn't help but look down, his face turning red:
"Who eats cookies without dropping crumbs? Is this also littering?"
The patrol officer said seriously:
“Aren’t these garbage?
Comrade, are you going to pick it up and eat it?
The environment of public places depends on everyone. Today you throw some cookie crumbs, he throws some candy crumbs, and I throw some fruit residues. Is this beautiful station still in good shape?
A friendly reminder, remember next time when you eat biscuits, you should hold them under your hands. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility.
Comrade, a fine of twenty dollars.
Please tell us your name so we don’t impose duplicate fines!”
As the patrol officer spoke, he skillfully took out a pen and receipt from his pocket and began to write.
Wu Yuan felt that this law enforcement was a bit too much, so he ate some cookies. How many dollars did these cookies cost?
Ouch, faced with the ironclad facts on the ground and the concerned gazes of the bodyguards nearby, he had no choice but to give his name and pay the money to accept the penalty.
"Here, this is your receipt. We also enforce the law impartially. This is our archive copy. Don't make the same mistake again next time."
As a result, I no longer have the mood to fill my stomach.
He put away the biscuits, drank the Coke in one gulp, returned the bottle, and waited obediently for the bus to depart.
Finally, the sound of ticket checking came from the loudspeaker.
Wu Yuan picked up his luggage and went to queue up for ticket checking.
At this time, he saw two white people eating next to him. Not only were there crumbs all over the floor, but there were also plastic bags thrown all over the floor.
The patrol personnel seemed to be disgusted by this place. They walked away from it and ignored it.
Wu Yuan got angry instantly.
Damn it, you are selectively enforcing the law!
He looked around for a while, then grabbed the man with the red armband who caught him littering and said:
"Those two people were littering there, why didn't you stop them?"
The red armband was a little nervous, but when he saw that it was the young man who had just been punished, he immediately calmed down and said:
"Why, do you want to interfere with our law enforcement? How do you know I haven't punished them?"
Wu Yuan was about to laugh out of anger, and said:
"Then show me their fine receipts!"
The red armband raised his head:
“What right do you have to look at our receipts? Huh?
If you interfere with our law enforcement work again, I will send someone to talk to you properly!
Don't drive the car anymore!"
Wu Yuan laughed angrily and said:
"They just eat and litter there, and no one cares!"
The red armband said:
"We don't issue repeated fines. If someone has been fined and continues to litter, what can we do?"
Wu Yuan said:
"I want to see the fine receipts for those two people."
The red armband covered the receipt book, as if protecting some precious information, and said:
"Young man, if you continue to act unreasonably and disrupt our normal work, I will be rude to you!
You have to know that we in Boluo country are the most law-abiding!
Don't do irrational things just because you're angry!"
There was a dispute between the two people, and other people with red armbands had already gathered here. There were also people who came to watch the fun. They didn't mind the trouble and gathered around to watch the fun. Waiting for the bus was too tiring, so it was good to watch the fun.
Seeing a colleague coming over, the red armband immediately bit back:
"Captain Hu, this guy is interfering with our normal law enforcement work and wants to check my receipt book!"
The red armband who came to help immediately said in a leadership tone:
"Comrade, we who maintain order all insist on having solid evidence.
This receipt book contains all the evidence of our work and needs to be submitted for filing.
If everyone comes to ask to see our receipt books, there are tens of thousands of people in this station, so we don't have to work?" Wu Yuan ignored the man's attempt to change the subject and said immediately:
"I was punished, I accepted it, and I didn't say much.
There are two white people over there, eating and drinking to their heart's content, with garbage everywhere. I just want to ask, didn't you try to stop them?
I saw you going back and forth so many times and no one stopped you.
I asked your staff, and you said that they had already been fined and could not be fined again, so there was nothing you could do about those two people.
Then I would like to see the archived copy of the fine receipts for those two people, is that ok?"
The crowd around suddenly buzzed.
What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth, but the inequality of wealth. This is the simplest idea of the Chinese people.
The leader with the red armband laughed it off and exchanged glances with the other leaders with the red armbands. Wu Yuan saw through it but didn't say anything, which made him more convinced that they were not treating everyone equally.
The young person in charge said:
"Young man, this is the only passage for passengers to check their tickets, so let's not hinder everyone from getting on the train.
If you want to look at their archived documents, that's not impossible. Let's go to the office and take a look at them slowly, how about that?"
There are too many people here, it's not a good place to talk. Once you get to the office and close the door, you have no say over what you want to say.
Wu Yuan was not stupid, and he immediately retorted:
"When I get to the office, you point to the names of Zhang San and Li Si and say they are the two white people. Can I say they are not them?
Who doesn't know that this is not uncommon in our country, Boluo?
Shi Shan, who knows he is a white man just by hearing his name? "
Shi Shan, isn't this a Chinese name? But it was a Chinese name specially chosen by Sam Smith to please Wang Yuanchao.
The crowd showed signs of responding, and the young leader became anxious and said:
"Young comrade, please don't spread rumors in public.
The current international status of Boro State is hard-won, but we must not let our foreign friends think that we are being unreasonable.
We have already punished them. If we confront them face to face again, they will feel that their dignity has been greatly insulted!
You have to know that foreigners attach great importance to freedom and privacy!"
Wu Yuan said to everyone:
"They already knew that the person was a foreigner before they even saw the receipt. What if he was a citizen of our Boro country?"
The red armband got angry and his tone became serious. He said:
"It is precisely because they are foreign friends that we are very cautious. Young man, I advise you not to be dissatisfied with us or find fault with our work just because you were fined. I tell you, such a thought is absurd and unrealistic."
As he spoke, the man with the red armband raised the receipt in his hand and said to everyone:
“This young man is nitpicking about our work just because I just punished him for littering while eating.
Think about it, everyone. We can understand this feeling, but can we support it?
If everyone does this and retaliates against our work at will, can our Shangjing Railway Station become one of the cleanest railway stations in the world?"
After hearing this, the red armband leader immediately followed up:
"Young man, did you hear me? Don't destroy our hard-earned situation just because of your personal likes and dislikes.
We understand your feelings, but the way you do things is wrong.
Come on, everyone, make way, the passengers behind us are in a hurry to check their tickets!"
The crowd was still very obedient and shrank to one side to make way for the passengers behind. However, passers-by all took a look at the excitement, and the traffic jam here became more and more serious.
Even the two foreigners were squeezed out of space and had to pack up their food, saying in frustration:
"Oh, shit, can't you see we are eating? Aren't you known as the most civilized people in Boro? Is this how you treat tourists?"
A clear English voice came out and replied:
"They said you left garbage all over the floor while eating, so they want to fine you!"
Another white man immediately stood up and said viciously with his greasy mouth:
"Why, is it illegal to eat in Boro Country?
You are fined for eating, are you crazy because you are poor?"
The white man threw the remaining roast chicken rack directly to the ground and said:
"We wanted to say your food is delicious, but now we have to go back and tell our family and friends that you people in Boro are so deceptive, selling things very cheaply and then making money through fines!!"
Many people in Boluo can speak English, so now everyone understood that the patrol officers had never imposed any fines!
The leader with the red armband also knew some English, and immediately said nervously:
"No, don't listen to them.
We have no intention of destroying international friendship. On the contrary, we are arguing with those who are destroying international friendship!
Please believe in our determination to safeguard international friendship and national image!"
Wu Yuan was so angry that he almost laughed. He pointed at the English message on the radio saying "Don't litter or you will be fined" and said in English:
"Didn't you guys hear the broadcast?"
The foreigners picked up their luggage and squeezed into the crowd. They were big and strong, and looked ferocious. No one dared to stop them and just made way for them.
The two foreigners got away so easily in front of everyone.
The man with the red armband couldn't understand English, but he knew the simple sentence that Wu Yuan had just said and the slogan that was played on the radio every day. When the white man heard this, he ran away in shame. He probably knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything.
The leader with the red armband said shamelessly:
"If such a small incident causes negative international news, you will be held fully responsible, young man!
Our current tourism environment is not what we want right now, and our country has paid tens of billions of dollars for it!
Don’t you want to see the receipt?”
He took the receipt from the red armband, flipped through it, picked out two foreign names and said:
"These are their names! Why don't we treat them equally? Lin William, Michael, what else do you want?
I tell you, you are fully responsible!"
The person next to the red armband craned his neck to look at the words on the archive link, wanting to see if they were these two names.
Everyone looked at Wu Yuan with something strange in their eyes.
Everyone is still very patriotic and thinks that this young man was probably fined and was feeling upset and making a fuss unreasonably.
At this time, a voice came from the crowd:
"Boss, I'm Lin William, I didn't mean anything! I will never throw cigarette wrappers around again!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pure Chinese man holding a receipt with a name written on it:
Lin William!
The leader with the red armband blushed, his throat trembled a few times, and without saying a word, he turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.
Huh, can the monk run away, can the temple run away?
Wu Yuan sneered, walked towards Lin William, and said:
"Thank you!
I don’t know how to thank you, so why not leave your contact information so that we can work together in the future, or help each other in some way.”
Lin William smiled and said:
"No need, I just can't stand the way they are servile to foreigners and arrogant to us."
Wu Yuan smiled and said:
"Then we need to leave contact information. At least we have similar interests and maybe we have more in common."
If you don’t leave any contact information, where can I find you to collect evidence later?
Lin William no longer refused, happily left a contact number, and said:
“This is my workplace’s phone number.”
Wu Yuan also left a phone number and said:
"This is my uncle's phone number. If you need my help, please call me. I owe you a favor!"
Seeing how serious he was, Lin William quickly took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote it down.
Wu Yuan found another girl who was asking in English and said:
"Thank you for your righteous words just now, classmate. Let's exchange numbers. Just like Brother Lin, we are all friends who have fought together!"
The girl was obviously beautiful, but Lin William had already left his contact information, so she couldn’t refuse it, so she said:
"Then I'll leave you the contact number of our school dormitory. My name is Wu Xuanyi."
Wu Yuan smiled and said:
"We are actually from the same family. My name is Wu Yuan, nice to meet you. This is my phone number, remember to call me if you have any problems. I owe you a favor."
Wu Xuanyi smiled sweetly and said:
"Okay, I remember."
She now began to doubt whether this boy left his phone number to Lin William just to get her phone number.
However, if he wants to pursue me, that's difficult. My family in Boluo is not an ordinary family. It's not the kind of thing that can be pursued just because he's a little handsome, has a sense of justice, and is a little smart. This boy is not socially sophisticated enough!
