Ye Zhiwei's words did not make Lin Yutong feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she seemed to have some hidden thoughts. She gave Ye Zhiwei a meaningful look and said with a smile, "Aren't you curious about why Jia Nian hasn't been around you lately?"

Ye Zhiwei knew that Jiang Jianian was very busy lately, and even if Jiang Jianian was busy, it was impossible for him to have any relationship with the person in front of him. However, Lin Yutong's ambiguous tone still made Ye Zhiwei say, "Don't bother."

The female fan couldn't help but mutter, "What? How dare he provoke a beautiful woman in front of her? I'm a guy, and I know even with my eyes closed that when choosing a wife, I'd choose one who's both beautiful and rich."

Lin Yutong then noticed the little girl next to Ye Zhiwei. She was clearly taken aback by the little fangirl's words, and snorted inwardly. After watching the two leave, she didn't care.

She already had Jiang Jianian's contact information and had been chatting with him recently. Although he didn't reply very often, he clearly had a flirtatious tone in his words. Lin Yutong was thinking that she would slap Ye Zhiwei in the face once she actually became Jiang Jianian's girlfriend.

So what if Ye Zhiwei is the famous beauty of the law department? She's beautiful and rich, but even that can't compare to her.

Feeling smug, she continued to send messages to Jiang Jianian on her phone.

After being humiliated by Jiang Jianian in that way that day, Lin Yutong hadn't sent any messages for several days. Later, it was her roommate who jokingly asked her how her relationship with Jiang Jianian was going, whether she had given up, and other such questions that prompted Lin Yutong to decide to try again.

She registered a new account, chose a heavily edited photo of herself as the profile picture, and prepared to add Jiang Jianian as a friend again.

Although it was a little strange that Jiang Jianian's profile picture and name seemed to be different, Lin Yutong didn't think much of it since it had been several days since the last time. She just assumed that she had misremembered and didn't realize that she had added the wrong person and had missed copying a number.

Even more coincidentally, the person she added was a member of a fraud gang that pretended to be rich second-generation heirs to swindle money from girls.

They had just lost a girl they had previously scammed, and they were worried that all their recent efforts had been in vain. Unexpectedly, another one came knocking on their door. This scam gang operated as a team, and they would draft a new scheme every time they scammed a girl. After learning that Lin Yutong, who had come knocking on their door, was a student in the Performing Arts Department of Yenching University, the group couldn't help but discuss it.

"A prestigious university, wouldn't they get arrested if something happened?"

"What are you trying to catch! We're already in this line of work, why would we be afraid of getting caught? Just be careful. Once the money arrives, we'll clear our IP addresses immediately. They won't even know where we're from, so how can they catch us? We're already in this line of work, why would we be afraid of getting caught? We're acting professionals, we're rich! We're surrounded by guys who are easy targets. Even if they don't have money, they're pretty bold. A few words of persuasion and they'll probably be able to get us to take out a loan. This is a big fish!"

"..."

One of the boys, who was specifically responsible for chatting with the girls, said, "She seems to have misunderstood. She thinks I'm some kind of Jiang Jianian—she seems to think I'm just a boy from her school."

"Keep her calm. I'll go search for this student's information. If I can't find it, I'll see where I can buy it. While you're at it, subtly find out what's going on. We'll discuss what to do next. This is a rare opportunity. A performing arts student, we can at least swindle two or three hundred thousand."

"..."

They just caught a big fish and were cursing and complaining about how they had gone to such lengths to cheat it. Now that a little lamb for the slaughter has finally come along, how could they possibly let it go?

Lin Yutong hadn't expected such a coincidence. She was always successful with boys, and her first thought after adding them was to flirt with them relentlessly. Little did she know that they were scammers.

The scammers quickly found some basic information, and with Lin Yutong's subtle hints, they soon understood the general situation and what was going on. After making a plan, they had the scammer who specialized in flirting with girls keep Lin Yutong occupied.

That conman was actually quite good-looking and knew how to flirt with girls. He also knew how to put on different personas in front of different girls. He knew that Jiang Jianian, whom Lin Yutong liked, was a quiet and aloof type, so he knew how to treat her accordingly. Often, when Lin Yutong said something, he would only reply with half a sentence by night, and when Lin Yutong sent a long message, he would reply with just one sentence.

He was very cunning. To avoid Lin Yutong worrying that he couldn't win her over, he would sometimes chat with her a little longer. In fact, after chatting for a while and learning about Lin Yutong's situation, the male conman couldn't help but be tempted. However, under the lure of money, he still coaxed Lin Yutong step by step.

Lin Yutong had no idea about any of this. She only thought that Jiang Jianian had been gradually influenced by her and that she just needed to do something else. She noticed that the scammer seemed to have posted about some kind of startup company on his WeChat Moments.

Lin Yutong had heard before that Jiang Jianian was involved in a startup, which was supposedly the same company that was on the verge of bankruptcy for the wealthy second-generation heir Tang Ke.

Tang Ke's case caused quite a stir, especially when several police officers came. Tang Ke asked for leave, and although the specifics were unknown, it was generally understood that Tang Ke had been arrested. The school was also preparing to expel her, because Tang Ke's family's company was once a well-known technology company in Y City. Finance students quickly discovered that the company had changed shareholders and senior management, and the legal representative of the company had been changed to Jiang Jianian.

The company was also transformed into a pharmaceutical technology company.

Lin Yutong didn't understand the specifics, but she had heard some rumors and knew that Jiang Jianian was starting his own business.

She tentatively inquired about investing in a business, and the other party vaguely mentioned that the company was experiencing some cash flow difficulties in the early stages. Lin Yutong immediately thought of taking this opportunity to help Jiang Jianian.

She had learned from previous chats that some apps offered loans, and she also had some spare money from her part-time modeling job. Since it involved money, she was still a little hesitant. However, by chance, she learned that Jiang Jianian was very busy recently, and that Ye Zhiwei often ate in the cafeteria with the girls in her class. In addition, she ran into Ye Zhiwei, and was provoked by Ye Zhiwei, Lin Yutong suddenly lost her senses.

She was determined to take his place and steal him away.

After meeting with Ye Zhiwei, the first thing Lin Yutong did upon returning home was to send a message: "How much money do you still need? I mean... I can also invest in you."

The scammer saw that Lin Yutong had taken the bait, but he wasn't in a hurry. He deliberately delayed for two days before replying to Lin Yutong: "It's a total of one million. We've already received an investment of 700,000, and we still need 300,000."

Lin Yutong gritted her teeth and hesitated.

The scammer sent another message: Actually, I don't really want to borrow from her, but never mind, I'll see if I can borrow from her anyway.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yutong seemed to be provoked and immediately lost her senses. She lost her last bit of rationality and immediately sent a message: What is your company's bank account number?
