"The third divination involves drawing lots," netizens answered for Jiang Yuan, who didn't repeat herself.

When the third divination was mentioned, netizens stopped discussing it.

Knowing that the two young women would confide in each other, had their own source of income, and could withstand the pressure from their families, they were not so worried.

As before, everyone clicked to participate in the lottery.

Finally, the focus shifted to a netizen with the ID "Flowing Clouds and Water" and whose profile picture was of themselves.

That netizen immediately sent fireworks as a gift, and within three seconds requested to connect with the other person via voice chat.

The moment Jiang Yuan agreed, the other person went on mic, and their honest and simple-looking face came into everyone's view.

"Master Jiang, I'd like to ask where that bastard who tricked my mom into buying health supplements is?"

"My mom...my mom is in her seventies or eighties, and all the money she has is her retirement savings. These scammers actually managed to cheat her out of all her retirement money!"

The other party exclaimed excitedly, his face and neck turning red with anger.

[Another health supplement scam! My grandma just got scammed last week. She spent 8,000 yuan on a bunch of medicines, only to find out when she got home that they were just vitamins that cost ten or twenty yuan each, just with different packaging. The total price wasn't even 100 yuan.]

My grandpa was also scammed by this trick a couple of years ago. It happened in our neighborhood. They offered free blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol tests, but the tests ended up costing him nearly 30,000 yuan. We all said he'd been scammed, but he didn't believe us. He said his blood sugar and blood pressure stabilized after taking the medication. It wasn't until he witnessed the scammers being taken away by the police that he believed what we said was true.

These scammers deserve to die; they specifically target elderly people's retirement savings.

【Damn it+】

It's truly infuriating that we young people know it's a scam, but the older generation insists on believing it, acting like stubborn old fogies, and you can't reason with them.

So every three months I send some vitamins home and tell my grandma they're health supplements. That way, even if she encounters a scammer, she won't buy them, because we don't need any at home.

I'll do the same next time!

"Yes, yes, it was right here in the neighborhood!! My mom was tricked by those scammers in the neighborhood and spent 120,000 yuan on a bunch of cheap medicines, including several kinds of vitamins that only cost a few yuan in pharmacies."

"120,000! That's 120,000!"

The man nodded repeatedly, becoming more and more agitated as he spoke. He wiped his face with his hand, removing the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He was genuinely heartbroken; that was 120,000, not 2,000 or 20,000!

“My mom didn’t like buying health supplements before, and I don’t know how that scammer managed to fool her. I’ve been waiting at the entrance of the community for several days, but I haven’t caught the scammer who cheated my mom. If I find out who’s so bold, I’ll definitely…” The man stopped halfway through his sentence.

He glanced at the live stream, calmed himself down, and then cried like a baby, saying, "Master Jiang, you must know where that swindler is. Can you tell me where he is right now?"

"I'm going to...I'm going to call the police and have them arrested! They'll be locked up for life!" the man said, his chest heaving with emotion.

If it were two thousand, he would turn a blind eye and feel the pain for a few days, but it would pass.

But 120,000? He'd have to work for a whole month to earn that much.

A whole month!

If the market doesn't perform well, it might last for more than a month!

I support you in doing this!!!

These scammers are despicable! Master Jiang, please tell him their address so the police can take them all down.

These scammers haven't used the same tricks for years. The community occasionally runs awareness campaigns to prevent the elderly from falling for them, so why do so many people still get scammed? Most health products are fake, especially those not bought from legitimate pharmacies.

[Sigh, as people get older, they all share a common trait: a fear of developing health problems. Scammers exploit this weakness to perpetrate their schemes.]

"No one is lying to your mother." Just as the man was feeling sorry for the 120,000, Jiang Yuan's calm voice rang out.

The man's tears stopped abruptly, and the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

[What? No scammers? Where did the 120,000 go?]

Could it be that his mother embezzled the money and used it to subsidize her other sons, daughters, or relatives?

[That's possible, but aren't older people generally biased towards boys? They wouldn't lie to their son to give money to their daughter, would they?]

"If my mom wasn't scammed, where did the 120,000 yuan go?"

“I don’t have any relatives. Although I have an older brother, he passed away early, and my father also passed away early. It’s just me and my mother who depend on each other.”

The man spoke up and explained to the viewers.

His mother only has one son, so she shouldn't side with outsiders.

Moreover, he treats his mother well; otherwise, he wouldn't give her thousands or tens of thousands of yuan every time he earns money, letting her save it.

So his mother had no reason to lie to him.

[That's puzzling. They couldn't possibly have used it to tip online streamers, could they?]

[Maybe she has a crush on an older man and is spending money on him, but doesn't want you to know, so she pretends to be buying health supplements?]

[That's possible. I've seen similar stories online before. An older woman gave her entire savings to a livestreamer, saying the streamer liked her, would support her financially, and would give her money. She said the money was just an investment, and wouldn't listen to any advice from her family or relatives.]

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My mother... my mother is already in her seventies or eighties. If she wanted to find a new husband, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now?"

"She also uses an old-fashioned mobile phone. Although it can access the internet, it can't watch live streams, and she doesn't know how to watch those kinds of things."
