Chapter 135
Zhong Qiao took her to the Su family in Yancheng. When they entered the courtyard, the furnishings were still the same as last time and it was very quiet.
Before even entering the door, Liu Sanhua was already hesitant.
It was actually because I was too reckless. Sister Zhong Qiao was my leader. Although we were easy to get along with on weekdays, I raised doubts in front of everyone this time, which was simply a slap in the face of Sister Zhong Qiao. If I had known this, I would have pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Zhong Qiao parked the bicycle in a corner and asked Liu Sanhua to get off the back seat.
"This is the home of the old lady you mentioned."
Zhong Qiao was about to knock on the door, but unexpectedly, a figure suddenly emerged from the corner and knocked the dazed Liu Sanhua to the ground.
"You bunch of liars, you will die a horrible death!" The man came with disheveled hair and a ferocious face. He punched and kicked Liu Sanhua, as if he was going to fight to the death.
Zhong Qiao quickly pulled the person away. During the argument, the other person's messy hair spread out, revealing a somewhat familiar face.
Isn't this the couple from last time?
Zhong Qiao was stunned. This woman dressed very elegantly. She must be a real city girl. When he saw her yesterday, she was still full of energy and looked confident. But in the blink of an eye, she became a shrew on the verge of collapse.
Liu Sanhua was slapped twice in the face. Although the opponent's moves were random and not that painful, anyone would be angry if they were beaten for no reason.
"Where did this madman come from?" She covered her sleeve that was almost torn. "It's inexplicable!"
The woman heard this and screamed, "Crazy? You evil people, you still have the nerve to call me crazy? If you hadn't lied to me, why would I be kicked out by my husband?!"
"Comrade, I think you've made a mistake." Zhong Qiao rolled his eyes and protected Liu Sanhua behind him. "She and I are here to discuss business. Do you know where Mrs. Su went?"
"Business?"
"Are you sisters?"
The woman was stunned, her eyes shifting between the two of them with suspicion, as if she didn't quite believe that Zhong Qiao and Liu Sanhua were sisters. One was fair and beautiful, like a city lady, while the other was ordinary-looking, like a country girl.
Zhong Qiao coughed lightly and explained, "No, I'm her boss. She told me that the Su family has business, so I came to take a look."
The woman seemed to be stimulated and screamed loudly: "There is no Su family! There is no Su family at all! They are a liar. They deceived me and my husband so much!"
Zhong Qiao and Liu Sanhua looked at each other and already had the answer in their hearts.
Zhong Qiao felt that it was expected, but Liu Sanhua was still extremely shocked.
The person she had worked so hard to save turned out to be a liar from the very beginning. His method was too clever. He used her own safety as a bargaining chip and took advantage of other people's kindness and feelings to achieve his own goals.
The woman cried and breathlessly told the whole story. Zhong Qiao had already guessed some of it, but what she never expected was that the old man walking the dog was also an accomplice.
The story began half a month ago. It turned out that the woman's husband ran a restaurant. At first, the business was good, but later because of road construction, the noise was so loud that the old customers stopped coming. Her husband drank every day to drown his sorrows, hoping for other opportunities to make money.
The woman didn't have any special skills. One day, she met a poker friend. During the chat, she learned that the old lady of the Su family liked to invest and had a sharp eye. She thought that as long as she followed her, she would definitely make a profit. So the woman became interested.
Of course, she was not a fool and knew that there was no free lunch in the world. She was very cautious at the beginning, but later, the old lady acted very well and acted in unison with the male translator, which made them both lose their minds and put half of their wealth on the line.
As a result, they suffered a great loss. When they came to look for them the next day, the old lady of the Su family and the male translator were nowhere to be found. Even the old man who was walking his dog was gone. After further inquiry, they found out that this was an abandoned house where a family had gone abroad and no one took care of it. This group of people had taken over the house and were doing fraudulent business.
They searched for her and even called the police, but it was no use. The scammers had already left the house. Her husband wanted to divorce her and kicked her out of the house.
It brings tears to my eyes when I talk about it.
After hearing this, Liu Sanhua's face turned red and then white.
If the couple had not acted early, they would have been the ones to be deceived, and the business that Sister Zhong Qiao had worked so hard to build would have been handed over to others.
She is so stupid!
"What should I do?" the woman cried, "My husband will definitely not forgive me. I promised him that, but he still got cheated."
Zhong Qiao didn't know how to comfort her. The other party was obviously a very mature fraud gang. The scammers took advantage of the mentality of making a quick buck. They were in dire straits and could easily get carried away.
"Your biggest problem isn't blindly trusting others." Zhong Qiao patted her hands. "From the very beginning, you've been disregarding your husband and your family. You only care about playing cards. Others took advantage of your weakness and caused your family to fall apart from within."
"Whether your husband forgives you or not, the thing has already happened. It's better to look forward to it and make corrections step by step."
When the woman heard these words, she seemed to realize something belatedly and started crying with her hands covering her face.
Yes, ever since their restaurant started to take off, she'd become complacent, completely neglecting her entire family and her son. If it weren't for her husband constantly reining her in, I'm afraid she'd be more than just a card player. Ordinary entertainment wouldn't excite her...
She deserved to be cheated today, she accepted it!
"If the police really have no news, try asking the neighbors first. I heard that this scammer moved here half a year ago and has been getting along with other people to some extent. Maybe they can tell you some clues." Zhong Qiao gave her a glimmer of hope.
The woman nodded randomly.
She knew that the other party was giving her hope, a white lie, but this was the only way at the moment.
"Let's go." Zhong Qiao sighed and pulled Liu Sanhua away. "You've seen it too. It's time to go home."
After saying goodbye to the woman, Liu Sanhua sat in the back seat of Zhong Qiao's car without saying a word. After a long while, she said, "Sister Zhong Qiao, don't you blame me?"
Zhong Qiao pedaled the wheel very quickly, the sound was light and fluttering, and was carried by the wind to Liu Sanhua's ears: "Why should I blame you?"
"You just wanted to defend your own interests, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't blame you, but if there's a next time, don't just do something based on what others say. It's most important to investigate the other person's background beforehand."
Liu Sanhua didn't know what to feel. She pulled Zhong Qiao's clothes tighter and tighter, looking at Zhong Qiao's back with sparkling eyes.
"Okay." She agreed.
It seems that she still has a lot to learn.
