163: Chapter 163 Tina is dumbfounded

As soon as Cao Kun finished speaking, the smile on White Lotus Flower's face instantly froze.

Then, just like Tian Ningning a moment ago, her face filled with anger and disbelief; she immediately furrowed her brows and retorted sharply.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Genshuo isn't that kind of person! He's incredibly good to me, how could he be a scammer!"

"Are you two here to cause trouble on purpose? Get out right now, or I'm calling the police!"

White Lotus Flower was even more naive than Tian Ningning and relied more heavily on Zhang Genshuo. Hearing someone slander her boyfriend, she immediately became agitated and reached out to shove them away.

Tian Ningning also snapped back to reality at this moment. Seeing White Lotus Flower's reaction, her heart wavered even more. She looked at White Lotus Flower and said subconsciously.

"Are you really dating Zhang Genshuo? Did he also tell you he's the boss of a startup, that his family is well-off, and then borrow money from you?"

White Lotus Flower was stunned by Tian Ningning's words and looked at her. "How do you know? Who exactly are you?"

Cao Kun quickly stopped White Lotus Flower, who was about to speak again. Looking into her eyes, he accurately recited her information.

"White Lotus Flower, 25 years old. You've been dating Zhang Genshuo for several months. He's scammed you out of hundreds of thousands of yuan using excuses like startup investments, a car accident, and his brother's tuition."

"You live in Unit 1501, Building 8 of this Residential Complex. Your parents run a business out of town, and you live here alone, right?"

Just as he had done with Tian Ningning, Cao Kun detailed White Lotus Flower's private information and the specifics of how Zhang Genshuo scammed her without a single error.

White Lotus Flower had still been full of anger, but hearing this extremely precise information, she froze completely. The color drained from her face, and her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

She had only ever told these things to Zhang Genshuo; even her close friends didn't know. Yet this strange man in front of her knew everything so clearly.

She subconsciously looked at Tian Ningning, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and both saw the same shock and panic in the other's gaze.

"You... are you really Genshuo's girlfriend?" White Lotus Flower asked Tian Ningning with a trembling voice.

Tian Ningning nodded, her voice bitter. "I've been dating him for several months. He told me he was single and starting a business. He said funds were tight recently, and I've given him hundreds of thousands altogether."

"Me too!" White Lotus Flower's tears instantly welled up.

"He told me he was single and needed capital for his startup, so I gave him hundreds of thousands too. He even said he'd marry me once the business succeeded. He was so good to me in every way; I never once doubted him..."

The two of them began to recount their experiences dating Zhang Genshuo, their hearts growing colder with every word.

They discovered that what Zhang Genshuo had told them was almost identical. His persona was the same, and even his excuses for borrowing money were largely the same.

Tian Ningning took out her phone, pulled up a photo of her and Zhang Genshuo, and handed it to White Lotus Flower.

White Lotus Flower also took out a photo of her and Zhang Genshuo from her phone. In both photos, Zhang Genshuo wore different clothes and whispered the same sweet nothings to different women. The background even featured the same corner of the Residential Complex.

The moment they saw the photos, both Tian Ningning and White Lotus Flower swayed. They had to support each other to stay upright, their faces etched with heartbreak and despair.

Even so, the two "love-brained" women still clung to a final shred of hope, unwilling to fully believe that Zhang Genshuo was a complete fraud. They felt there might be some misunderstanding or that Zhang Genshuo had some unspeakable secret.

"It's impossible. Genshuo is so gentle, how could he lie to us..." White Lotus Flower muttered to herself while wiping away tears, still refusing to accept reality.

Tian Ningning's eyes were red as she nodded, her tone full of reluctance. "Could we have made a mistake? Maybe he just had a momentary lapse in judgment..."

Looking at these two women who were still deceiving themselves, Cao Kun felt both angry and helpless. "Love brain" really was incurable; even at this point, they were still making excuses for that scumbag.

He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone.

"You still don't believe it? I'm telling you, Zhang Genshuo is a professional scammer. There is no startup company, no hospitalized family members, and no brother in school. It's all a pack of lies. He's just taking your money to squander it outside while sweet-talking three different women at the same time."

"I know you don't want to believe it, and just talking won't get through to you. I'll take you to see the third woman right now. Zhang Genshuo stayed the night at her place and is about to come out. Once you see his true face with your own eyes, you'll know if I'm lying!"

Cao Kun's words completely shattered their final illusions. Looking at his determined gaze and remembering the information and photos they had just compared, the last line of defense in their hearts finally collapsed. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and their entire bodies trembled.

"Fine... we'll go with you," Tian Ningning said through gritted teeth, her voice choking. White Lotus Flower also nodded and wiped her tears, her eyes filled with heartbreak and fury.

Cao Kun said no more and led Tian Ningning and White Lotus Flower out of Building 8, heading toward Building 18 at the very back of the Residential Complex.

The system information showed that Tina lived in Building 18. Zhang Genshuo had stayed at her place last night and would be heading out with her around 8:00 AM.

At that time, Tina would go to a good friend to borrow money for Zhang Genshuo.

The three of them walked quickly to the flowerbed downstairs of Building 18 and hid behind a concealed bush. From there, they could clearly see the entrance of the building without being spotted by anyone inside.

It was already 8:10 AM. The sunlight was gradually growing warmer, and the Residential Complex was becoming busy with people going to work, walking dogs, and dropping off children.

Tian Ningning and White Lotus Flower huddled close together, their hands clenched tightly and palms slick with cold sweat. They stared unblinkingly at the entrance of Building 18.

They felt both nervous and afraid.

They wanted to see Zhang Genshuo, yet feared seeing him with another woman.

Cao Kun stood beside them, his sharp eyes fixed on the entrance, watching for any movement inside.

In his mind, he was still calculating how to make Zhang Genshuo pay a heavy price—not only making him cough up all the scammed money but also ensuring he received the punishment he deserved.

A few minutes later, the door to Building 18 slowly opened, and a familiar figure walked out. It was Zhang Genshuo.

He was dressed in designer casual wear, carrying a brand-name leather bag. His hair was meticulously styled, and a smug smile played on his face. He looked high-spirited, projecting the image of a successful man.

And on his arm, a woman dressed sexily with glamorous makeup clung tightly.

The woman was Tina.
