Facing the joint enforcement visit from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the police station, Shen Mingzhu quickly calmed down after a brief panic.
"Officers, your timing is impeccable. We just discovered counterfeit products of ours in the market, and all the items are here."
Looking at the mountains of spicy strips and dried tofu, an enforcement officer from the Bureau scoffed sarcastically, "Very well-informed, indeed. We're still investigating on our end, and here you are, already gathering up the evidence against yourselves."
Another said, "It wouldn't be 'a thief crying stop thief', would it? Earning dirty money and now, when caught, you're trying to shift the blame. With your tiny, shabby factory, is it really worth someone's effort to fake your products?"
Shen Mingzhu did not rush to defend herself but instead picked out her factory's products and placed them alongside the counterfeit ones to make a comparison, pointing out the differences one by one.
