Gan Tang subtly reminded Tian Tian of her new boyfriend, essentially telling her to protect herself, not to let him take advantage of her, and to keep her job and money separate before marriage. But Tian Tian, deeply in love, was completely oblivious, even jokingly teasing Gan Tang with suggestive remarks like, "Have you two slept together?"
A few days later, Mo Huaixing's prediction came true.
Zhang Yuan proposed buying a house with Tian Tian. The down payment was 500,000 yuan, with Zhang Yuan contributing 430,000 yuan and Tian Tian contributing 70,000 yuan. The plan was to pay in installments over 30 years, with monthly payments of 10,000 yuan. At the time of the purchase, Zhang Yuan was very kind; the house was registered solely in Tian Tian's name, and the bank card used for mortgage payments was linked to his salary account.
However, after buying the house, Zhang Yuan disappeared.
At first, she just assumed he was busy with work and didn't take it seriously, until the sales office called and she learned that the down payment for the houses there had been reduced to only 50,000 yuan. And the salary card he mentioned was no longer in use.
When Gan Tang and Mo Huaixing arrived, Tian Tian was squatting in the emergency exit of the company building, crying. She was crying very softly, afraid that her colleagues would hear her.
Although 70,000 yuan is not a lot, it represents all her savings from the past few years of work.
Gan Tang was both angry and heartbroken. "With a monthly salary of eight or nine thousand, what are you going to do with buying a house?"
Mo Huaixing silently closed the emergency exit door, shutting himself out as well.
Tian Tian raised her trembling face, "I just want Cheng Liyang to know that he's wrong. I can afford to buy a house in this city and settle down. Who would have thought that the person who was so good to me was a liar?"
"Let's go!" Gan Tang went to pull him along.
Tian Tian was a little confused as she cried, "Where are we going?"
"Go find him."
"I still have to go to work, or my pay will be docked."
"How much can they deduct from your account?" Gan Tang was speechless. Millions were gone, and they were still thinking about a few hundred yuan.
As expected, when the three arrived at Zhang Yuan's rented apartment, he was no longer there. Left with no other option, they went to the police station to report the incident. However, the police said that without conclusive evidence to prove it was fraud, they couldn't file a case.
Tian Tian kept crying. Gan Tang felt panicked and asked, "Where is that person? Please find them for us!"
"You'll have to find this person yourselves."
The person taking the statement spoke slowly and deliberately, which immediately made Gan Tang angry. "I'm just an ordinary citizen, where am I supposed to find someone?"
Then, the education of Gantang began in the house.
Instead of catching the bad guys, they were just sitting here drinking tea and lecturing her. Gan Tang became more and more furious. She had never suffered such humiliation in the past two years. She started yelling and arguing. If Mo Huaixing hadn't stopped her, she probably would have been charged with assaulting a police officer.
As she walked out of the police station, Gan Tang was still fuming. She angrily shook off Mo Huaixing's hand and said, "What kind of person is he? All the money I've paid over the years has gone to waste."
"I'm the dog you're talking about too."
Mo Huaixing's words froze Gan Tang in place: "I wasn't talking about you."
“It’s better for him to have no power than for him to have power.” Mo Huaixing glanced back and patted Gan Tang’s head. “Let’s go find someone.”
According to Tian Tian's description, Zhang Yuan was found at another sales office. At that time, Zhang Yuan was leading another girl to buy a house.
Tian Tian grabbed Zhang Yuan's hair and started hitting him, but how could a girl like her beat a man? Gan Tang was also itching to join in, and Mo Huaixing was right there, so he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. With that, the group ended up in jail again.
This time, Mo Huaixing brought evidence: surveillance footage from the sales office and the commission payments made by the real estate development company to Zhang Yuan.
The police officer in charge looked at the items and said that this was a commercial activity and should be handled by the market supervision department, adding that they could file a lawsuit.
"This is blatant commercial fraud, and you're calling it a business transaction?" After so many busy days, this is the result. Mo Huaixing was furious. "What are we suing for? It should be your public security and procuratorial departments that are suing us."
This time, it was Mo Huaixing who started arguing, but fortunately Gan Tang managed to drag him out. However, it wasn't just the three of them who came out; Zhang Yuan was also there.
Zhang Yuan, who swindled Tian Tian out of 70,000 yuan and left her with a mortgage, walked out unscathed. No, not only unscathed, but also made a fortune: a 100,000 yuan commission plus 20,000 yuan more from Tian Tian.
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to get into a taxi and leave, Mo Huaixing pulled him out.
Zhang Yuan was rather short; when held in my hand, he looked like a little chick.
"What are you doing?" He trembled with fear.
"I'll beat you up."
Perhaps it was because he had been in the Green Dragon Gang for too long, or perhaps it was because he had been too repressed these past few days, or perhaps it was because he had accumulated too much disappointment. Mo Huaixing's method was simple and brutal: a direct beating.
The key point is at the entrance of the police station.
The group went inside again. This time, Mo Huaixing, in a fit of temper, even targeted the police. Unsurprisingly, he was detained.
Gan Tang was worried that he would be bullied inside, so she secretly called Fang Heng. Fang Heng laughed for a full five minutes on the phone before hanging up.
Half an hour later, Mo Huaixing was released—no, he was pushed out—because he was shouting, "Who told you to let me out?"
"Alright, alright, a real man doesn't concern himself with trifles," Gan Tang quickly reassured him.
After leaving Qinglong Bay, their lives seemed to suddenly fall into chaos and helplessness. She looked at him, buried her face in his chest, and cried, "Am I always causing you trouble?"
His own affairs are still a mess, yet he's still working hard for himself.
"Silly girl, what does this have to do with you?" Seeing Gan Tang's tears, Mo Huaixing gradually calmed down and said with heartache, "Is this the kind of life you've always lived?"
Gan Tang nodded: "Although nothing this big has ever happened before, I have been deceived before. At that time, I was also desperate and had nowhere to turn. I didn't dare to tell my family or anyone else. I always felt that I was stupid and foolish."
Mo Huaixing laughed: "Was I pretty silly just now?"
“How could that be? You’re my hero.” Gan Tang said, taking out the bank card Fu Shaojie had given her and asking him, “There’s five million in here, given by Fu Shaojie. Can I give it to Tian Tian first? Even though it’s just a house, if this isn’t resolved, her life will be ruined.”
"It's for you, why are you asking me!" But his expression clearly changed.
As Gan Tang held the card, at a loss, Tian Tian ran over.
"The sales office called me and told me to go and cancel my purchase."
