Chapter 1345: 923 Seven Deadly Sins (2)_2

"How can I have a grand mansion with millions of rooms to shelter all the cold scholars in the world so they can all have joyful expressions? Being able to help so many people is already a commendable achievement. You’ve also heard that it’s unrealistic to combat housing prices; at least until the country finds a new support point, it’s unrealistic."

The other party studied economics, and was certainly clear about the possible impact of welfare housing policies.

Or, to put it more plainly.

It’s possibly just as Geng Zhida said, the intention is to use this as a fulcrum to leverage housing prices.

This is the real "ambition".

Of course, this isn’t wrong. It would be rather dull for someone so young not to have idealistic aspirations.

"Why do you look so pale?"

Jiang Chen changed the subject, looking at Cao Jinse’s face.

"Do I?"

"You haven’t said much earlier."

Jiang Chen looked at Lan Peizhi, to see if she felt the same way as he did.

Facing Lan Peizhi’s gaze, Cao Jinse smiled slightly, "Maybe I didn’t rest well."

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Jiang Chen asked with concern.

"It’s nothing. Let’s adjourn the meeting."

Cao Jinse left.

"What’s wrong with her?"

Jiang Chen found it unusual.

"Over in Myanmar, four police officers were killed."

Lan Peizhi spoke.

Jiang Chen frowned, "Shenzhou police?"

"Yes. Undercover agents sent there, and this news has been sealed off."

"What’s that got to do with her?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Lan Peizhi looked at him and sharply asked back, "Isn’t she a person of Shenzhou?"

Indeed.

As long as one is from Shenzhou, upon hearing such news, they shouldn’t be able to remain calm.

Besides, Cao Jinse is different from ordinary women, having a deep sense of patriotism.

"Is the news true? Are those people indeed so bold as to dare target police officers?"

"Last year’s fraud case involved at least over 1 trillion in total funds, more than 80% went abroad, mainly to Myanmar. Under the drive of such huge interests, what do you think those people wouldn’t dare do?"

The evils of telefraud are widely known, but very few are aware of the exact "profit" it’s creating.

The case involved amounts exceeding a trillion.

Even with the tireless efforts of police officers to intercept midway, surely most of the funds are still disappearing.

A yearly scale of several hundred billion.

No wonder those fraud industry parks are developing like they’ve been injected with adrenaline.

"Those people seem indeed to have gone mad."

Jiang Chen knew those telefraud groups were vicious, but didn’t expect them to be so brazen.

Hurting ordinary people might be overlooked.

But taking action against public officials?

Isn’t that outright confrontation with Shenzhou?

"Are the authorities not planning to act? This is a very good reason."

The harm of telefraud is so great, yet the measures taken are merely propaganda, many don’t understand this at all.

But judging by the fact that undercover agents were sent, the authorities aren’t inactive.

"The impact is too great, there should be many opposed."

Blood Guanyin truly deserves the name Blood Guanyin; hearing such shocking news, yet remaining indifferent.

Of course.

Jiang Chen knows this is just a facade.

Noble acts often come from scoundrels.

Especially people like Lan Peizhi actually have some kind of attachment, or "temperament".

If truly indifferent, she wouldn’t have intentionally mentioned it.

"No wonder her face looked so bad, she seemed quite angry." Jiang Chen mumbled, "But considering the matter’s magnitude, it should be understandable."

After all, it’s not a neighborhood fight.

There’s too much to consider, it’s impossible to act impulsively.

If Myanmar were a united sovereign country, the problem would be simple—just negotiate directly, Myanmar could resolve the issue itself.

But the key is, although Myanmar is an independent sovereign country, it’s not united internally. Due to historical reasons, there are warlord forces everywhere holding fiefdoms. They’re uncontrollable, disregard law and morality, and have no humanity, they’ll do any business as long as it makes money.

Recently, Jiang Chen has made basic inquiries about Myanmar.

Initially, these warlords’ business was simple, one word: drugs, creating the infamous Golden Triangle, ruining countless people worldwide. But as the international community intensified their anti-drug efforts, especially Shenzhou’s zero tolerance towards drugs, they were forced to transform, and Myanmar proactively announced nationwide anti-drug measures.

But stopping drugs is easy; the key is, how do these warlords survive after banning drugs?

No profitable industry means no income, no income means unable to afford arms, their fate is then getting annexed by others.

No one will wait to die idly.

So to solve survival problems, the warlords adapted, researching another business.

——Gambling.

Initially, no one took it seriously, after all gambling’s harm is far less than drugs. But later, as the scale of Myanmar’s gambling industry grew, with hundreds of billions flowing in at times, it led to hundreds of thousands of Shenzhou nationals going abroad yearly to gamble, losing everything.

Under such severe impacts, strong measures to combat cross-border gambling and foreign casinos ensued, bringing disaster upon Myanmar’s gambling industry. Those who lost everything gambling abroad dared not return home, staying in Myanmar to engage in illegal activities.

Initially, it was straightforward brutality—kidnapping for ransom. But later it became clear it wasn’t a sustainable model—since blatant kidnapping is vile in any country and easily attracts strong national forces for eradication. Shenzhou had organized forces multiple times for joint operations with Myanmar’s military.

The perpetrators, despite being ruthless, aren’t foolish enough to confront national forces, so they studied new "business models".

Drugs are out, gambling is out, then telefraud by phone should be doable, right?

After all, fraud has two primary advantages: one, it’s simple to operate with low risk, and two, compared to kidnapping, fraud doesn’t easily rouse public indignation. Like the common people, when hearing someone’s child was kidnapped, everyone slams the table. But if someone’s child was scammed, everyone’s first reaction is...this child isn’t very clever.

The different social impacts led to telefraud becoming popular in Myanmar, especially in northern Myanmar, where fraud tactics continuously evolve and those left penniless are everywhere. In reality, losing money alone is relatively lucky.

The frauds in Myanmar mainly come in two kinds: defrauding money and deceiving people.

What are the people deceived to do?

The answer is well known.

Any industry needs manpower; especially in such a new emerging field, it requires a large number of people.

This should be why undercover roles are crucial.

After arriving at the compound, those who cooperate are spared, but those who resist are beaten until they agree to work. If one tries to escape or gets sick losing work capacity, the fraud group will extract all your remaining value, like organs, blood—these can be used for money. Of course, one might also be beaten to death.

Some people were rescued, even though imprisoned, they were jubilant. But such rescues do little, treating symptoms not the root cause, so long as Myanmar’s internal situation doesn’t change, telefraud won’t disappear. Today you save 300 people, tomorrow 500 might get deceived again.

This is the greed of mankind.

Now there are widespread anti-fraud notifications, why do people still foolishly go to Myanmar to be exploited?

The answer is obvious.

Except for a very few innocently naive individuals, most actively smuggled themselves there. This group, either became bankrupt here and couldn’t survive or got lured by astronomical profits, blinded by them.

They’re not deceived to go; they’re going to Myanmar with the purpose of deceiving others.

This might be the reason for some opposition.

Kind words cannot persuade the doomed, great compassion doesn’t save those who self-destruct.

Some people aren’t worth saving.

"Where did the incident occur?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"Ping Li."

"...Seems not far from Dong Ba."

Jiang Chen mumbled.

If it had been earlier, could this tragedy have been prevented?

"Such things happen all the time there," Lan Peizhi said, seemingly now having a shared bond of understanding, knowing what Jiang Chen was thinking.

"The Allied Army has already..."

Jiang Chen began, but before he could finish speaking, Lan Peizhi, who was just comforting him a second ago, suddenly left.

Is this avoiding suspicion?

Or self-preservation?

Looking at her graceful figure, Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.
