"Chen Xianggui...heh, liar."

After leaving Lou Chunyue's house and arriving at the underground parking lot, Chu Yang got into his car, placed his hands on the steering wheel, and fell into deep thought.

All that talk of massive afforestation and beneficial projects for the country and its people is nothing but a carefully orchestrated scam.

In fact, this kind of scheme to make money by investing in tree planting is not an isolated incident in Chinese history.

Take Chen Xianggui's case as an example. According to Chu Yang's memory, the case was not exposed until several years later. He embezzled 1.3 billion yuan, causing countless families to break apart, but he was only sentenced to 11 years.

He was released after only seven years in prison due to good behavior. After his release, he continued his active life, starting companies and investing in acting.

In addition, there are also money-making scams like "Yilin Afforestation" and "Greening Project," which use the guise of benefiting the country and the people.

Similar examples include the "1040 Sunshine Project," the "Ant Farming for Wealth" case, and various health product organizations operating under the guise of direct selling.

In short, regardless of the form it takes, it is ultimately a pyramid scheme.

Even twenty years later, similar illegal money-making schemes still exist, and in more ways than ever before.

For example, a certain micro-business tycoon boasted on his WeChat Moments about getting a high-speed train and confirmed with Sister Yangyang that he had a 250 million square meter industrial park. All of this was to recruit people to join him and make money.

To put it bluntly, these are all exploiting people's greed and ignorance to amass wealth and illegally raise funds, which is definitely illegal and criminal.

“…Chu Yang?” Xiao Li couldn’t help but call out when she saw him remain silent for a long time.

Chu Yang snapped out of his daze, took her hand and gently stroked it, smiling slightly as he said, "Investing in tree planting is a scam. Don't easily believe things like that in the future, okay?"

Little Pear nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"Good girl." Chu Yang patted her head.

"So you're going to that manor? Are you going to infiltrate the enemy ranks, gather evidence, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop?" Little Pear said, a little excited. "You have to take me with you, I'm really good at fighting!"

Chu Yang chuckled and said, "I don't have that kind of free time. I just want to go to Inner Mongolia for a trip. It's not impossible for you to come."

Little Pear became even more excited, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "I want to go, take me with you!"
