Elijah Smith acted as if he hadn't heard the man call the police at all. He didn't care about his own criminal record. He kicked the mobile phone out of the man's hand, grabbed his collar, pushed him to kneel in front of Ella Adams, and stepped on his back, saying, "Apologize!"
Ella Adams pursed her lips, seemingly oblivious to the scene in front of her. She walked to the dining table wearing high heels, picked up a dish, and used chopsticks to pull a hair from it. Facing the man kneeling on the ground, she asked, "Is this the hair?"
The man sneered but didn't answer.
Ella Adams carefully examined the hair held between her fingers, compared it to the man's own hair, then handed the strand to the restaurant manager nearby, instructing, "Keep this hair preserved. When the police arrive, hand it over to them, and tell them that someone put their hair on the plate to extort money."
