Did I let you leave?!
Zhou Cheng's words were like a clap of thunder on a clear day, causing the scene to erupt once more!
Not only The Wretch and his gang, but even the villagers standing around watching were shocked!
They looked at Xiao Cheng in disbelief, wondering if his words were true or false!
Could it be that this young man, Xiao Cheng, really had too much money to spend, or was he truly a big fool? Not only did he give away five hundred thousand, but now he was even saying he had more money and could give more!
"This... Xiao Cheng, is this true or false? Don't just give it to these scoundrels. We're all from the same village, all relatives of the Zhou Family! My family needs it too!"
"Xiao Cheng, to be honest, I've been busy every day recently, and my lumbar disc has been uncomfortable. So, could you give me some money to treat it? Not fifty thousand, just let me reimburse you with the medical bills later, how about that?"
"Don't give it to them, they're all hooligans. We're all from the same village; we're the ones who truly need it."
"Xiao Cheng, we're relatives..."
"…"
As the saying goes, wealth reveals a person's heart. In this rural area, five hundred thousand was not a small sum.
For an ordinary rural family, five hundred thousand might take a full ten years to earn, and that's just earning it. If they wanted to save five hundred thousand, they definitely couldn't do it in ten years.
So it was no wonder these villagers, watching the show, were tempted and started asking for money.
Anyone who heard Xiao Cheng's words would ask.
"Xiao Cheng, you...?" Uncle Xia stood beside Xiao Cheng, truly at a loss for how to advise him on his actions!
"Uncle Xia, it's fine. As I said before, my Zhou Family has more money than we can count. This time returning home, if I can help everyone, I will. This can be considered accumulating virtue for my Zhou Family!" Xiao Cheng interrupted Uncle Xia and said.
Everyone present praised Xiao Cheng as a great philanthropist upon hearing his words.
At this moment, among those standing, probably only Zhou Feiyu and Zhou Daoming, a few individuals, guessed what Xiao Cheng intended to do.
The Wretch and his gang were all excited listening to Xiao Cheng's words.
The few who had just been thinking of getting money from The Wretch immediately crowded around Xiao Cheng!
"Second Young Master, me, me, me, I really need it! My old man had a cerebral hemorrhage and urgently needs medical expenses!"
"Second Young Master, my son has leukemia. If he doesn't get chemotherapy soon, he won't live much longer. Please help me."
This group of people made up all sorts of lies, trying to defraud Xiao Cheng of money.
As for whether they were true or false, of course, they were all false. Since The Wretch could make up anything and get money, they certainly could too!
"Alright, alright, one by one!" Xiao Cheng smiled, pretending to be a sweet, naive person.
He had Zhou Feiyu record with a camera on one side, while he himself held his phone, ready to transfer money!
"You first," Xiao Cheng said, pointing to the person who had been shouting the loudest in The Wretch's group!
"Thank you, Second Young Master. My son has leukemia. He's only ten years old and still in elementary school, and his grades are excellent. If he doesn't get treatment, he might not have many months left. Second Young Master, please help me."
The man put on a crying face.
After he finished speaking, Uncle Xia immediately exposed him from the side.
"Hu Houwen! Where did you get a ten-year-old son?! Your son is already thirty, and he's long disliked you and split from the family. Why are you still making things up?!"
Faced with such an exposure, Hu Houwen immediately tried to refute and explain.
But before he could explain, Xiao Cheng explained for him directly.
"Oh, Uncle Xia, don't say that. Maybe he married a wife outside and had a child there, but never brought them back, so you don't know."
Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Hu Houwen quickly nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, exactly, that's how it is!"
"How much do you need?" Xiao Cheng looked at him with an expression of complete trust.
"Five hundred thousand?" Hu Houwen probed carefully, afraid that Xiao Cheng was tricking or playing with them.
"No problem!" Xiao Cheng said cheerfully!
Then he directly transferred five hundred thousand, with the remark for his son's leukemia treatment!
Next!
It was the same kind of fabricated story, even Zhou Wanyu felt they were lying.
But Xiao Cheng just had that naive expression; as long as they spoke, Xiao Cheng would believe them!
Everyone in The Wretch's gang received a transfer.
And among the villagers watching, one finally couldn't hold back and pushed his way forward!
"Xiao Cheng, don't just give money to these scoundrels! My family truly has difficulties."
But Xiao Cheng didn't pay attention to him!
This made him a little anxious, and he shouted at Xiao Cheng:
"Xiao Cheng, why are you like this? You have money to help these scammers, but you won't help your own people, is that it?!"
Five hundred thousand! He had watched Xiao Cheng transfer several five hundred thousands to The Wretch and his group!
However, Xiao Cheng, listening to his words, merely glanced at him and then ignored him.
This caused him and the surrounding villagers to complain that Xiao Cheng wasn't helping his own people.
The Wretch's gang consisted of five people, so Xiao Cheng stopped after transferring two million five hundred thousand.
"The money has all arrived, right?" Xiao Cheng asked with a sweet smile at The Wretch and his group.
"It's here, all here. Thank you. When my son gets better, I'll definitely bring him to thank you personally," Hu Houwen and the others replied.
At the same time, they kept laughing in their hearts at how foolish Xiao Cheng was, how much money he had and how easily he parted with it.
After they finished speaking and were about to leave to enjoy themselves, Xiao Cheng called out to them!
"Wait! Did I tell you to leave?!" Xiao Cheng's tone suddenly turned cold!
His Aura instantly became sharp!
This made Zhou Wanyu, who was standing beside him, feel that the Xiao Cheng from the Shanghai had truly returned, everything had returned!
The Wretch and the others felt the coldness in Xiao Cheng's tone. They turned around and looked back at Xiao Cheng.
"Second Young Master, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? I heard from the folks around here that none of your family members are sick. So, you think my money is easy to trick out of me?!"
The elements of fraud are simple: the perpetrator fabricates facts, causing the victim to form a mistaken belief, and then the victim, based on this mistaken belief, transfers money, etc. After that, the perpetrator obtains property, and the victim suffers financial loss. The premise is also that the perpetrator knew and intended to deliberately defraud from the beginning!
So even though Xiao Cheng was pretending to be naive, engaging in entrapment, it still worked! Even if they immediately returned the stolen goods, as long as he chose not to forgive or understand, it still constituted a crime!
"Second Young Master, you?!" The Wretch and the others didn't know what Xiao Cheng was up to now!
But Xiao Cheng was too lazy to waste words with them.
He directly dialed the alarm number!
"Hello? Is this the Police Station? I want to report a fraud. The amount defrauded is as high as two million five hundred thousand! They fabricated stories about their family members being sick and urgently needing money for treatment. I believed them, so I transferred the money to them!"
"They are still at the scene. Please send someone over immediately..."
After reporting the crime, Xiao Cheng immediately arranged for his butler to send people to the hospitals they had mentioned to investigate the family members they claimed were sick!
He would directly secure all the evidence of their fraud!
Xiao Cheng's sharp and fast words, and his indifferent expression, stunned The Wretch and his group! This, this wasn't how you played the game!
