That's too cruel! They're not giving us any chance to survive at all!

"This... Wasn't Xiao Cheng just being incredibly trusting of those rascals? How did he call the police and have them pinned down the moment the money transfer was finished?"

"Good, good, good! This is exactly how it should be done. When he transferred the money to those rascals just now, it nearly made me explode with anger; they were clearly lying."

"I knew the Zhou Family's second son, looking so handsome and spirited, definitely wouldn't be that stupid."

"I get it now, Xiao Cheng was deliberately setting a trap for them! Five hundred thousand is exactly the minimum threshold for a 'specially large' fraud case. So, anyone who just fabricated a story about a Family member being critically ill and needing surgery to get five hundred thousand has broken the law!"

"This is too ruthless, truly leaving no way out!"

"Luckily, even though I was tempted just now, I still have some dignity and didn't rush up to ask for any."

"..."

The villagers were chattering away in heated discussion.

Zhou Feiyu had long since guessed what Zhou Cheng intended to do.

Zhou Wanyu, on the other hand, looked on with a face full of admiration.

To one side, Zhou Daoming remained as calm as still water. He spoke softly to Zhou Shurong beside him:

"Shurong, I don't think Xiao Cheng is as pathetic as you say. He's much stronger than your father!"

Zhou Daoming's voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear.

This praise made Zhou Shurong, who had always been at odds with Zhou Cheng, curl her lip.

"Isn't this just being overbearing, cold-blooded, and heartless? It's because of this personality of his that I told you he must be properly disciplined. Grandfather, you don't know the Dragon King, so you don't understand the situation."

"Back then, that Dragon King destroyed five of the top families in the Shanghai! Now that Zhou Cheng has offended the Dragon King Emissary, our Zhou Family could very likely be destroyed!"

"Haha, how can the head of a wealthy Family not be overbearing and cold-blooded? As for the Dragon King you speak of, who says your grandfather doesn't know about him?" Zhou Daoming chuckled softly.

"Grandfather, you know the Dragon King?" Zhou Shurong was surprised.

"I do. Isn't he in 'Journey to the West'? Monkey Sun's Golden Cudgel was even taken from the Dragon King of the East Sea," Zhou Daoming replied.

Hearing this, Zhou Shurong rolled her eyes!

Wee-woo! Wee-woo!!!

The sound of sirens wailed, and the police soon arrived on the scene!

When Zhou Cheng made the report, he mentioned there were five people involved and that the amount was astronomical, totaling two and a half million!

Especially since the location of the report was the Zhou Family residence!

Consequently, three police cars arrived at once, led by the Vice Director of the Police Station!

Li Feng parked the car on the side of the road and then walked over quickly.

When he saw the scene, his body jolted.

The Zhou Family bodyguards, dressed in black suits, were pinning five men to the ground, holding them down firmly!

There was also a large crowd of villagers filming with their phones. This was clearly a major incident; if not handled properly, it could definitely end up on the Douyin trending search.

"I am Li Feng from the Liudu Town Police Station. Who is the person who made the report?"

"It's me, Officer Li. My name is Zhou Cheng. The situation is like this..." Zhou Cheng stepped forward and slowly recounted the events.

At the same time, he had the bodyguards pull The Wretch and the others up, but they did not release them.

As Li Feng listened to Zhou Cheng's words, his brow instantly furrowed.

With his extensive experience in law enforcement, he immediately guessed Zhou Cheng's ploy!

Even the way he looked at Zhou Cheng changed—this guy was truly ruthless!

Just because the other party had defrauded ten thousand yuan and then mouthed off to Zhou Cheng, they were directly set up for the maximum penalty for fraud!

Moreover, there were no issues with the legal procedure. These people had fabricated lies, the purpose of which was to swindle money, and they had actually succeeded in getting it!

The only difference was that Zhou Cheng definitely knew they were swindling him; he just didn't expose them and instead beat them at their own game!

"Officer Li, my lawyer will arrive today. At that time, he will take full responsibility for this case!"

Zhou Cheng spoke word by word.

Li Feng stood before Zhou Cheng and listened, feeling that the young man before him was even more seasoned than he was!

He nodded, then looked at The Wretch and the others, sneering inwardly. They really didn't know when to quit; they got a bargain and still didn't show restraint. Did they really think rich people were fools?

"Police Officer, it's not like that, it's really not! He deliberately tricked us! He set a trap and purposely transferred the money to us!" Hu Houwen shouted at Li Feng.

He was filled with regret now. He was such a damn idiot for following The Wretch to demand money.

Demanding money was one thing, and getting two hundred or so would have been fine, but he actually followed The Wretch in demanding ten thousand, and even greedily accepted five hundred thousand!

Now, without having spent a single cent of that five hundred thousand, he was going to prison!

"Deliberately set a trap?" Li Feng looked at Hu Houwen with a sour face. He knew exactly what kind of people these rascals were! So there was no need to be polite with them!

"Yes, yes," Hu Houwen nodded repeatedly.

"Then let me ask you, do you really have a ten-year-old son with leukemia?" Li Feng asked coldly!

"No... I don't," Hu Houwen said in a low voice.

"And did you receive five hundred thousand?"

"I... I did, but..."

"But what! Did someone force you to give your bank card number and then force you to take that five hundred thousand!" Li Feng stared at Hu Houwen and said!

Then he waved his hand: "Take them all to the police cars and send them straight to the city!"

Hearing this, The Wretch, Hu Houwen, and the others all lost their composure.

"Second Young Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I can give all the money back to you. I can even return the money the second Young Miss transferred yesterday. I beg you, please don't sue us."

"Master Zhou Cheng, it was all my greed. Please let us go!"

Some begged Zhou Cheng for mercy, but he turned a deaf ear, as indifferent as if he were crushing an ant.

Others simply started cursing at Zhou Cheng!

"You named Zhou, you bastard! You tricked your grandfather here, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Holding a birthday banquet? Your grandfather will drop dead tomorrow!"

"I'll fuck your ancestors, you immoral son of a bitch! You'll never have a good end!"

Listening to these curses, Zhou Cheng not only wasn't angry but felt as if he were listening to some beautiful, pleasant music!

He looked at The Wretch and the others and smiled contemptuously.

"Rest assured, I, Zhou Cheng, am punishing evil and promoting good. My end will be just fine!"

His methods were a bit shameless, but The Wretch and his lot weren't good people to begin with!

So why care about any of that!

At this moment, Zhou Cheng exuded an aura of ruthlessness that made people feel afraid.

Especially the surrounding villagers; even if they hadn't offended Zhou Cheng, they felt a faint sense of fear in their hearts.

Zhou Cheng's gaze shifted, landing on the man among the villagers who had just accused him of only giving money to The Wretch's group and not to the villagers.

He said eerily: "This uncle here, what were you saying just now? You want money too, right? Why don't you give me your card number?"

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, the man's body shuddered, and he immediately shook his head!
