Charlie was very surprised when he saw the text on Hugo’s cell phone.
He did not expect that Hugo would be able to see through the problem so quickly.
So, he took the cell phone while secretly typing on it as he said with a smile, “Oh, Hugo! Your son doesn’t look like you at all. He’s much more handsome compared to you!”
As he spoke, he typed a sentence on the cell phone: [What’s the problem?]
After that, he handed the cell phone back to Hugo.
Hugo took the cell phone back from Charlie and said with a smile, “My son looks like his mother. My wife is really beautiful. Wait a minute, I’ll find and show you a picture of my wife when she was young!”
Having said that, he typed on his cell phone and muttered, “Oh, there are too many photos on my cell phone. I have about twenty to thirty thousand photos in here. It’s really difficult for me to find the picture.”
After a while, he handed the cell phone to Charlie and said, “Here, take a look. This is a photo of us when we got married. There were no such things as photoshopped pictures, retouched pictures, or pictures with photo filters back then.”
Charlie took the cell phone and saw a large paragraph written on it. [The lad driving the car said that there is no cell phone signal here, but I just saw a signal tower about one or two kilometers away in the wilderness. It might be very vague, but I’m a communication engineer myself, so I can recognize a signal tower at a glance. Reasonably speaking, even if it’s an old base station, it would be impossible for there to be no signal after only one or two kilometers. What’s more, there are no shelters for tens of kilometers here, so it’s even more likely that there is no signal. I think something is definitely not right!]
When Charlie saw this, he could not help but feel impressed with Hugo. However, he did not want Hugo to get nervous too soon and alert the enemies. So, he said, “Wow! Your wife was really beautiful when she was young!”
