âAh?â Zheng He was dumbfounded again. He looked at Xu Mu and whispered, âThe anti-fraud campaign is for real? So, this campaign was actually done by Xu Nianying?â
Xu Mu nodded: âYes, thatâs right, Xu Nianying was representing Haisong Group in doing this.â
Such publicity should help recover their familyâs reputation.
Hopefully, once their reputation is restored, they wonât make any more foolish mistakes and engage in shady businesses.
Ten minutes later.
By cooperating with the police investigation, Zheng He finally understood the whole truth.
In the office, a police officer from Tian Nan City said solemnly: âActually, weâve been monitoring your movements all along, and with someone reporting and willing to act as bait to provide the route, thatâs why this operation went so smoothly.â
Zheng He was stunned once more, and with a confused face, he said: âWhat did you just say? My movements have been monitored by you?â
âYes, ever since you mentioned you were going to do big business last time, leaders from across the country urgently convened a meeting to start keeping a close eye on you.â
Previously on the dating show, Zheng He revealed that he was going to do big business, so many netizens who knew about Zheng He sensed that something was not simple.
Look, a person who regularly skirts the edge of the law and has a gullible nature, it goes without saying what kind of fate he would meet.
Netizens mentioned the official accounts of the police online, one after another.
It wasnât to warn the police about Zheng He committing crimes, it was to prevent Zheng He from being scammed.
But at the time, the police did not respond.
Because they wanted to catch a bigger fish.
A mere Zheng He isnât able to stir up much trouble; the key was to capture the organization behind Zheng Heâthat was most crucial!
And then, when everyone on the internet thought the police werenât making a move, Zheng He was under close surveillance.
Zheng Heâs movements and destinations were all covered by undercover officers locally, who safeguarded him every step of the way.
Itâs just that Zheng He wasnât very cooperative; in fact, he even avoided people along the way.
Zheng He thought to himself, he was somewhat of a celebrity now.
When he goes out to do big business, he has to keep a low profile, or else everyone would rush to get his autograph and take pictures with him, which would delay his business and money-making!
He considers himself a man with career ambitions!
Zheng Heâs lack of cooperation, along with the experienced maneuvers of the organization, avoiding surveillance areas and frequently changing cars, made it difficult to track their exact movements.
But later, with Xu Muâs active cooperation, everything became much simpler.
Zheng He: â???â
Although it didnât sound like very good news, the fact that leaders from all over the country urgently held meetings for him was something he didnât boast about.
Rubbing his hands, Zheng He smiled awkwardly: âIâve really caught your attention now, havenât I?â
âCanât help it, youâre too famous now. Wherever you go, we need to strengthen security. If something really happens in someoneâs jurisdiction, it would be like a public execution for us, openly slapping our own faces.â
If catching criminals is a test question, then Zheng He is now the publicly disclosed key clue within the entire problem.
If you can still mess up an open-book test, that would be a public face-slapping, wouldnât it?
Are you saying you donât want your job anymore?!
The leaders almost wanted them to watch Zheng He 24 hours a day.
Success would mean a medal of honor, failure would mean losing your job.
That is the status of Zheng He in the police circle now.
Itâs like Zheng Heâs rise and fall are alike.
To be given such attention by the police, Zheng He didnât know whether to cry or laugh.
The policeman continued patiently: âBe more careful next time, donât just trust any message you receive. Be vigilant, especially with those tempting messagesâthey require the utmost caution.â
Zheng He curiously asked: âThen what about my friend?â
âOh, him. He brought himself here, also scammed into thinking he was going to do big business. Right, I heard you say just now that those guys scammed you out of money, right? How much did they scam?â
âThree yuan and ninety-two cents!â Zheng He would never forget this number for the rest of his life, because that was the most humiliating day of his life!
Police Officer: ââ¦â This is the first time Iâve dealt with such a âlargeâ amount of money in a case.
Zheng He received a refund of three yuan and ninety-two cents, and left the police station with Zhao Xiaopang and Xu Mu.
After leaving the police station, Zheng He suddenly realized something.
Whereâs Chen Xixi! Chen Xixi took his money for the plane ticket, accommodation, meals, and all kinds of expenses. Where did she go?
â¦
At this moment, Chen Xixi, dressed in long clothes and pants, wearing a hat and a mask, with a shoulder bag on, was standing at the hotel lobby handling the check-out procedures.
While waiting to complete the procedures, she took out her smartphone for a glance.
The news of Xu Nianying wiping out a scam den was still trending.
Haisong Group is currently being held high by netizens.
Chen Xixi smiled. The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
A big corporation offending another major family, wonât this lead to an Immortal fighting?
And she, without needing to do a thing, could watch the Xu Familyâs backyard on fire, running around in a panic, couldnât be happier.
Her mood is good today; she deserves to treat herself to something nice.
And the money for the meal? Still provided by Zheng Dasha.
Even happier now, she could eat a couple more bowls of rice later.
But⦠Logically, this trending topic shouldnât stay up so long, the Xu Family should have suppressed it right away. How can this topic last so long?
Could it be that the Xu Family really dares to confront those big families in North City?
Wondering who gave the Xu Family the courage.
The next second, she found out who gave the Xu Family the courage.
A message popped up at the top of the screen.
Itâs a picture sent by Zhou Jinyuan.
Itâs full of various data, which she doesnât quite understand.
The next message from Zhou Jinyuan came in: âHow long do you want the trending topic to last?â
Now she understood. It turned out that Zhou Jinyuan gave the Xu Family the courage.
Chen Xixi acted all innocent: âWhat are you talking about? I donât quite understand.â
Zhou Jinyuan: âSeeing you so happy, I thought you liked watching this.â
â???â
Chen Xixi immediately looked up, and diagonally across, a man dressed in a black suit, one hand in his trouser pocket, the other holding a smartphone, was looking at her with a smile.
Zhou Jinyuan saw her look his way and strode toward her with long steps.
Chen Xixi raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise: âHow did you know what I was looking at just now?â
Zhou Jinyuan tilted his chin towards her side.
Chen Xixi turned her head and saw a large mirrored wall beside her, at this moment shining brightly, revealing the illuminated screen of her smartphone.
ââ¦â Iâll be mindful next time.
Thank goodness she wasnât looking at anything she shouldnât be.
But the content Zhou Jinyuan had sent over had startled her as well; she had thought Zhou Jinyuan knew she was behind this.
Lucky that she has a strong mindset, she didnât give herself away.
Her relationship with Zhou Jinyuan is now a matter of thirty million, and she should still be cautious.
Chen Xixi locked her smartphone screen and put it in her bag. With clear eyes she looked at Zhou Jinyuan, her tone innocent: âIf I enjoy it, can you make it last a bit longer?â
Zhou Jinyuan nodded: âOf course.â
âLetâs see how long you can keep it going.â
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled softly, his deep gaze fixed on Chen Xixi, lips parting lightly: âSeems like I have to put in more effort, to avoid being mocked for incompetence again.â
