Chapter 55 Performance

[Haha, the streamer is so cute, she reacted so quickly! Being part of the family means she can even get a free meal.]

Is it possible that the scammer is among these people?

I have a bold guess: could it be that the groom, who's expecting a baby today, is that big liar?

The two followed the person with the flower on their chest into the lobby. Jia Qingman was on tenterhooks the whole time; she had never done anything like this before.

Although we came here to catch that swindler, it would be so embarrassing if these people found out.

"Don't be nervous, just follow me and don't say anything. Most importantly, don't act impulsively."

Jia Qingman nodded.

As the bride's family, they were placed in the main seats, very close to the wedding stage. Jia Qingman sat nervously next to Gu Yunxi.

An older woman looked at the two of them.

Gu Yunxi smiled at her, "Auntie, we are Zhizhi's junior high school classmates."

"Oh, no wonder you look unfamiliar. You two are so well-preserved, you look even younger than Zhizhi."

"You're lying through your teeth," Jia Qingman rolled her eyes at her, but the person didn't see it.

When the wedding emcee invited the two of them to the stage, Jia Qingman stared intently at the man in the suit.

He's here, he's here, he's come on the red carpet.

Ah! Is that Lou Huai?

[That's probably it, otherwise why would the two of them deliberately sit in such a close-up position, just to gather evidence!]

[Rongcheng Police: What? The two anchors are here to find that swindler? Good! They dared to tarnish Rongcheng's reputation in front of so many people. I have to go and meet him.]

At Rongcheng Public Security Bureau, Sang Ye angrily threw her phone aside.

"What's wrong? Who offended our Miss Sang? Why are you so hostile first thing in the morning?"

"Don't even mention it. My boss made me infiltrate the Stargazing Pavilion's live stream room every day. I never expected that the streamer would start broadcasting as soon as I got to work. Guess what? She actually came to Rongcheng."

"Oh, really? How about I take you to skip work and we go take a look, and while we're at it, we can have our fortunes told." Xiao Zheng patted her shoulder.

"Okay, I do have something to do outside. Come with me."

Lou Huai stood at the front with Zhizhi, looking happy, completely unaware that Jia Qingman was right under his nose.

He blocked her on WeChat and turned off his phone, disappearing from Jia Qingman's world in this way. Now, seeing this smug swindler again, she wanted nothing more than to rush up and slap him twice across the face.

Gu Yunxi kept pressing down on her hand, "Wait a bit, go up when the time is right."

Finally, all the bride's family members came on stage to take a group photo. "Let's go, the show can begin. Take all the materials I asked you to prepare."

Jia Qingman nodded, and walked directly to Lou Huai, smiling at him while suppressing her disgust.

"Lou Huai, it's been a long time. You're doing really well these days."

Lou Huai finally turned his gaze to the woman in front of him. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he said calmly, "Who are you? I have never seen you before."

"Don't you recognize me? I'll teach you to pretend you don't." Lou Huai panicked when he saw Jia Qingman seemingly about to take something out.

"Security! Security!"

Jia Qingman slowly took out a stack of photocopies from her bag. "Everyone, take a look. These are all evidence that Lou Huai defrauded me. He disguised himself as a returned overseas PhD, cheated me out of more than a million yuan, and then disappeared. Fortunately, God has eyes and allowed me to find this swindler again."

He's really something, getting married to someone here! Today, I'm going to expose his true colors in front of all these people. Miss Zhizhi, you'd better open your eyes wide. This man is a conman who was fired from university. All his documents are fake. If I'm not mistaken, I'm not the only woman he's fooled.

Jia Qingman handed out flyers to everyone like handing out flyers. The relatives from her mother's side stared in astonishment at the things in their hands, their faces turning green with anger.

Zhizhi looked at Lou Huai in disbelief and let go of his hand. "Lou Huai, what's going on? Is all of this real?"

Lou Huai quickly grabbed Zhizhi's hand, "No, don't believe this madwoman. I don't know her. Maybe she's just spreading rumors to ruin our wedding."

"Hehe, I did it on purpose. Lou Dahai returned, no... Lou the big liar, he cheated me out of more than a million yuan in the past two years, and he also cheated me out of my life. When I had nothing left, he started to disappear. For the past six months, I have thought about dying."

But what will happen to my family if I die?

You wicked person, living so carefree, you don't deserve such a life. Someone who didn't even graduate from university, I wonder what kind of identity you have now to deceive this young lady, Zhizhi?

Gu Yunxi stepped forward as well, "Zhizhi, are you an only child? Is your family very wealthy?"

Zhizhi nodded blankly, "Yes! I'm not only an only child, but my parents also run a small company and are quite wealthy. I met Lou Huai about half a year ago."

He is well-educated and courteous, and takes special care of me. I have never felt such love before. He is highly educated and has been working very diligently in the past six months since he joined my father's company. My parents also respect him very much.

We quickly fell in love and started planning our wedding. Do you two have some misunderstanding about him? Lou Huai isn't that kind of person.

"Yes, don't listen to their nonsense, we don't know them at all."

Hotel staff noticed something was wrong, and several security guards rushed over to pull the two away. If they missed the auspicious time, the wedding would have to go on, and the boss would blame them for a job-related offense, which would not only cost them their jobs but also subject them to fines.

"Really? Lou Huai, are you sure you don't recognize us?"

[Haha, the streamer is about to unleash his ultimate weapon! Let's listen carefully and see what kind of person this Lou Huai really is!]

Gu Yunxi patted him on the shoulder, and Lou Huai's mind went blank for a moment before he grabbed the microphone from the emcee and began his brilliant speech.

"I know her, of course I know her. Isn't this my ex-girlfriend Jia Qingman? Oh, I misspoke. She shouldn't be called my ex-girlfriend, she should be called my ex-sleeper."

I can't stand women like you who are highly educated and wealthy. There are so many rich people, what's wrong with one more like me? I made a mistake, so why did the school expel me? Everyone looks at me differently, as if I'm a disgrace. I'm going to get revenge.

Lou Huai didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't want to say these words, but he couldn't control himself when facing these people.

"So I disguised myself as a returned overseas PhD and a university professor, just to hook you simple-minded women."

Let alone Jia Qingman, I hadn't done much before her either. It's a pity they didn't have money. A hundred thousand or two hundred thousand was like giving money to a beggar. Later, I saw her plea for help on local information.

Although I'm not particularly talented, I do have some technical skills, and I also learned that she was eager to pursue a doctorate. She's beautiful and wealthy, so I turned my attention to her...

After I had swindled all her money, I told her to ask her parents for more, but she kept making excuses. It seemed that this woman was no longer useful, so I left and by chance ended up in Rongcheng.

I started casting a wide net and finally locked onto Zhizhi. I carefully orchestrated a chance encounter, but I didn't expect that Zhizhi would be even easier to fool than Jia Qingman. She was such a fool. I thought that if I married her and tricked her father into giving me his company, I could live a life of ease for the rest of my days.

Once I have money and a carefully crafted identity, changing women will be as easy as changing clothes; I can have whatever I want...

"Lou Huai, you bastard, you liar, Dad, let's call the police and have him arrested."

After Lou Huai finished speaking, he regained his senses. He looked at everyone staring at him as if he were an idiot, and some people were even holding up their phones.

Suddenly, he realized what he had just said. "No, listen to me, I made all of that up. My feelings for Zhizhi are genuine!"

"Smack!"

Zhizhi's mother slapped Lou Huai across the face, but some of the man's relatives started to leave.

"Stop right there!" Sang Ye and Xiao Deng walked in.

Upon seeing two police officers enter and even show their identification, the cheaply rented actors became nervous.

“Miss, we don’t know anything. Lou Huai paid us to come and be his relatives, and also to get a free lunch. We are job seekers at the job market. When we heard about this good deal, we came.”

"Wow, you're putting on quite a show."

Sang Ye stepped forward and grabbed a staff member, "So, according to that logic, today's wedding banquet was also prepared by the bride's family!"

"Yes!"

"Good heavens, you're really a big liar, living off a woman. Lou Huai, your performance today was excellent. From now on, you can go back to the prison to perform. Those hundreds of people in there must be very lonely every day."

Stepping on the sewing machine, I can relax while listening to your stand-up comedy—how exciting!

Lou Huai tried to escape, but Xiao Deng noticed something was wrong and rushed over, handcuffing him in a few moves.

"Zhizhi, he's not the right person for you. Don't be sad over a jerk."

Zhizhi looked at Gu Yunxi, wondering what this woman was capable of that made Lou Huai speak his mind.

I never imagined he harbored such a conspiracy.

This woman really came at the perfect time; she saved me! If things had gone too far, everything would have been over.

As Jia Qingman watched the swindler being taken away, she didn't know what to feel.

"Sang Ye from Rongcheng Public Security Bureau." Sang Ye smiled, revealing her sweet dimples!

[What a beautiful young lady! She looks absolutely stunning in that police uniform; it's a natural beauty.]

[She doesn't resemble those actors at all. This young lady could be a part-time actress.]

Mulberry leaves?

Has the eldest brother's official love interest finally appeared? I remember now, there really is such a person in the book; the two of them, a beautiful woman saving a handsome man, fell in love at first sight!

But before her wedding day, her elder brother had an accident, and Sangye never married.

"Gu Yunxi, Officer Sang is very beautiful. When will your internship here end?"

"Ah! Master Gu is amazing. He could see that. I knew I hadn't misjudged him. I estimate I'll be reporting to Jiangcheng in a month. Maybe then I'll have a lot of collaboration with Master Gu."

"Of course, our cooperation might last a long time!"

The group followed Sang Ye to the police station, especially the victim Jia Qingman, who wanted to present her evidence to see if she could recover some of the losses.

In the end, Jia Qingman managed to recover 300,000 yuan, which was a great achievement for her. After finishing her business, she left first.

Gu Yunxi, Sang Ye, and Xiao Deng were sitting in a small office. She looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"Sister Sang, is there something you want to do by keeping me here?"
