Chapter 449: Chapter 448: Greedy and Facing Jail Time for it

Even though a netizen was warning that there were strange things in the corridor, Lu Xingze didn’t have the time to look.

His heartbeat quickened, especially when he actually reached the upstairs corridor and saw police knocking on a door, his heart thumped even more cheerily.

In a while, the door was opened.

What emerged was an old woman with hair that hadn’t been washed for days and a face full of fatigue.

When the old woman saw it was the police, she visibly shrank back, then attempted to feign calm as she asked, "Officers, what are you doing here?"

The policeman, face stern, said, "Someone reported that you’re involved in telecom fraud. We need to conduct an investigation now, everyone hands on your heads and step away from your mobile phones and computers!"

After the policeman spoke, he took control of the old woman and entered the room to investigate.

The old woman continued to argue, "What report, who reported us, we haven’t done anything wrong, we haven’t broken the law..."

Her call with Lu Xingze was still connected, so Lu Xingze’s ears were filled with double voices.

One voice was coming from the phone, his girlfriend’s; the other from the untidy old woman too disheveled to bear a second glance.

The truth was self-evident.

Lu Xingze’s face turned deathly pale, trembling on the spot from the shocking truth laid bare before him.

"Do you see it now?"

At that moment, the soft voice of Little Bun echoed in his headset.

Lu Xingze felt as if his ears had been cleansed by a voice from heaven and cried with joy, "Little Auntie, please speak."

"This is the person you were seeking for a marriage match—they specialize in deceiving people. If you meet up, you’ll be tricked, and then you’ll end up in Pineapple Country; and your wealth will be at risk, rendering you penniless! Furthermore, because you refuse to join them in their wicked ways, you’ll be sent around the world."

"In fact, they’re surrounded by some ghosts, whom I’ve already dispatched. They were people tricked and harmed by them."

"Heh!" Lu Xingze let out an exclamation, shocked beyond words.

Little Auntie’s voice was lovely, but how could her words be so frightening?

Those frequently reading online horror stories would almost invariably grasp the grim implication of being "sent around the world." After all, a well-known horror story goes like this: A little girl disappears suddenly, the parents report it but the police can’t find her, and in despair, they turn to a psychic.

After divining, the psychic tells the parents, "Your daughter is all over the world."

[All over the world... does that mean dismembered or sold for organs? That’s too horrifying.]

[Speaking from personal experience, there really are people tricked into going to Pineapple Country and then killed. Their family wanted to spend money to bring them back, but all they received was the watch he often wore, still splattered with blood...]

[This is utter lawlessness.]

[Can’t Little Auntie go over there and catch those bad guys directly?]

Someone raised such a query in the live-stream’s comments.

Mianmian saw this and could only apologetically say, "I have indeed foreseen that there are many bad people over there, but they are no longer in our Dragon Country. If the authorities of that country don’t cooperate, Mianmian’s intervention is useless, I need to follow the rules too."

So it’s a matter of cross-country jurisdiction?

The netizens felt a chill in their hearts, their minds simultaneously recalling the earlier affair with the Circus.

[So was the Circus issue resolved because there was someone cooperating? That rich American businessman?]

[Wuuu, which means that it went smoothly because Little Auntie had friends helping out.]

Mianmian nodded slightly and scratched her head, "Yes, because Charlie helped out, and those who were tricked into becoming animals wanted to go home, Mianmian could lend a hand. But for those who went to Pineapple Country..."]

Little Bun moved her small hands over her knuckles and recounted, with a regretful tone, "They’ve become just like the bad people, their hearts no longer longing for home, having lost their original beliefs, and so they can’t be saved."

Everyone watching the live-stream felt their hearts tighten.

Lost their beliefs?

Those who were deceived probably hadn’t lost their beliefs at first. They were simply brainwashed by the bad people through different means, slowly forgetting their nation of origin, losing touch with their conscience, and eventually victimizing their friends and family, luring innocent people over, transforming from victims directly into devils.

To prevent this transformation, one must only...

"Don’t be deceived," urged the childlike clarity of the voice in the Broadcasting Room, reaching the ears of everyone watching the live-stream. "My mother says, don’t be greedy, don’t be greedy, greed only leads to jail~ Even if it’s a friend you often meet, suddenly talking about how he made money and wanting to bring you in on it, that could be a scam, let alone someone you haven’t seen for a long time, right?"

"Fortune is something that comes from your own hands, not from others just giving it to you," Mianmian continued, sharing her feelings based on what Heavenly Eye had revealed.

She was young and couldn’t preach much, but a little goes a long way if it helped the viewers remember her words.

[Little Auntie is right, I’m not the type to be roped into things. I’m the one who found a way to become wealthy on my own, and I won’t drag others into it. First, they might not believe me, and second, if there’s any risk involved and they can’t handle it, I’d become their enemy. I’d rather help out elsewhere than lead them into something.]

[My God, I’m glad I watched the live-stream today. I have a classmate who I haven’t seen for a long time. He suddenly told me he found a way to get rich and wanted me to invest in Southeast Asia... I saw his income statement and was actually tempted!]

[To the person before, it feels like it’s nearing the Lunar New Year and everyone’s starting to slaughter pigs! I have a friend who says he makes money by flipping clothes in Pineapple Country and wants me to invest...]

People started sharing recent contact incidents with friends with similar patterns flowing across the comment section.

Another group who hadn’t experienced this was chilled to the bone by the myriad fraud schemes. Some were cheated through investments, some in love, and some were lured by companies into traveling and then unable to return.

Seeing everyone sharing, Lu Xingze swallowed and quietly spoke, "I, I was almost deceived because I made some money through live-streaming but to buy the best house in North City, I was far short. Wanting to lead a better life, I believed the words of a fan who would always give me large tips in the Live Broadcast Room."

Lu Xingze rambled on, and the netizens stopped sending comments, listening quietly instead.

Listening to more cases might make them recognize a familiar scam when it’s their turn and avoid being duped!

In summary, Lu Xingze had encountered a rich female fan. This fan would appear in his Broadcasting Room every ten days or so, gifting him the most expensive presents. She never spoke nor joined the fan Group.

It was Lu Xingze who sought her out to join the Group, later adding her as a friend. During chats, the rich woman revealed that her family was in the jade business, her family on the fringes of the top echelons in North City, owning a dozen properties including two in the most affluent areas - already a reality well beyond the reach of an average person.
