Chapter 278 is a scam!
As soon as Gu Yin left the space, she saw the old lady returning with everyone.
"There are too many people. Everyone's here to burn incense today. The competition isn't until tomorrow. Let's go back! If you want to watch, come back tomorrow!" Saying this, he took the basket in his hand and handed the firecrackers to Gu Shu.
Gu Shu took the firecrackers to the door and lit them. After the firecrackers burned out, everyone got into the car and left.
Gu Yin glanced back at the Taoist temple until the car turned the corner and it was no longer visible. Only then did she turn back. Knowing too much about some things is not a good thing. It's better to play dumb when necessary.
As soon as I returned to the village, I saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, making a lot of noise and creating a lively scene.
Wang Yanzhi's car couldn't get through because there were too many people. Even after she honked her horn, the people remained unmoved.
"Let's go down and see what's going on!" Li Mingfang said.
After the car was parked, everyone walked into the crowd.
"Take it slow, one at a time! Start by distributing to those with smaller quotas!"
Li Tian's voice came from the crowd. Gu Yin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that today was the day their investment would yield results.
Gu Yin squeezed through the crowd and saw a large black duffel bag next to Li Tian, filled with bright red banknotes.
Li Tian himself was holding a list and a calculator, handing out money to people.
"Let me make this clear first. Because I'm afraid you'll think I'm a scammer, this investment period is very short, only ten days. After deducting handling fees, the profit is five times the principal! I'll start paying out the money now!"
"Li Hui, you invested 1,000, which, together with the principal, makes a total of 6,000! Bring me the contract so I can check it! We both know the truth, it's impossible for us to fake it! So, in order to make money, we all need to cooperate properly! Don't do anything underhanded, understand?" Li Tian said while handing out the money.
"knew!"
"Don't worry! If anyone dares to pull any tricks, I, Old Li, will not allow it!"
"Exactly! You're so kind! You've made a fortune and you still care about our village! Anyone who dares to cause trouble is an enemy of our village!"
Gu Yin also saw some of the people who had been persuaded to leave by the village chief. They were now feeling annoyed and regretful, but they didn't blame the village chief, since they themselves hadn't really believed him in the first place.
From a few thousand to tens of thousands, it took more than an hour to finally distribute all the money in that bag.
Those who received the money didn't leave; the atmosphere around them was unusually lively.
"The money's all gone! I need to register the next round of investments. Everyone who wants to sign up, get in line. I'm leaving tomorrow! I won't be back for another three months! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Li Tian stood up and shouted to the crowd through a megaphone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him rushed forward as if they had gone mad.
Gu Yin pulled the two old women out.
Then they saw village chief Li Sen looking at the scene with a distressed expression.
"Village chief, are you voting too?" Gu Yin asked in surprise.
The village chief shook his head, sighed, and then whispered, "It's like fishing. First, you feed the fish the bait, and then you catch them all in one fell swoop once they lower their guard. This whole thing seems so unbelievable! Where are your grandpa and the others?"
"Grandpa went to the county and won't be back until tonight."
Li Sen nodded: "Alright, I'll go to your house tonight and talk to your grandfather."
Wang Yanzhi watched for more than an hour and also saw the problem. She said worriedly, "This is a scam. What kind of investment can make so much money! And it's guaranteed to make money without losing it? Even your grandfather wouldn't dare to say that! And this person took out so much money at once. I don't think he could do it alone. There must be a gang behind him. We have to call the police."
Gu Yin nodded: "Let's go home first and then discuss it slowly."
