Chapter 119 Jinjiang Debut
Bai Mian nodded slightly. Seeing Bai Mian's action, Jiang Liyi's heart sank to the bottom instantly. She had many terrible guesses, and the people around her also began to whisper.
"Oh my God, her mother is probably dead, isn't she? I remember hearing on the news that there was a case of a body hidden in a refrigerator. After killing the victim, the murderer kept talking to the victim's family in the victim's voice, and the family didn't realize it until a long time later."
"It's almost the same. I think, even if he didn't die, he's in a very bad condition. Think about it, three months! How can a normal person not touch his phone for three months?"
"This is in front of the client, can you please consider the client's feelings and be more careful with your words!"
"That's right. What you just said was too unlucky. Bah! My dear, don't take it to heart. Maybe your mother just lost contact, but she is still fine."
These people's words upset Jiang Liyi. She patted her head in regret: "Oh, it's all my fault. I was too careless. I was only focused on work and making money. I didn't even notice the changes in my mother. I should have thought of it earlier. Not video chatting or calling for three months in a row is not my mother's style!"
Bai Mian patted Jiang Liyi's shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't blame yourself. You are already very busy at work. This is not your fault. It has already happened. The most important thing now is to rescue your mother."
Jiang Liyi raised her head in surprise, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Master, do you mean that my mother is still alive?"
After listening to the speculations of that group of people just now, Jiang Liyi also felt that her mother had most likely met with an accident. Now after hearing what Bai Mian said, she immediately became excited, grabbed Bai Mian's hand and asked:
"Master, where is my mother now? How is she?"
Bai Mian: "She is in your supermarket. She is healthy. Don't worry."
Jiang Liyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, as long as she's fine, why would she let someone else replace her to chat with me on WeChat? Was she kidnapped? This is weird, we've been chatting for three months, and the other party has never mentioned money. What do they want?"
Bai Mian pointed at Jiang Liyi: "They want—you."
Jiang Liyi was startled, and seemed to understand something: "No wonder the other party always urged me to go home when we were chatting, it turned out that they had some intentions towards me. They came to me, is it for money or sex?"
Bai Mian shook his head: "Neither, they want you as a person, they want you to join them."
Jiang Liyi became nervous again: "Master, from what you said, it seems that the other party is organized. Could my mother have joined a religion?"
Bai Mian shook the fan in his hand: "Strictly speaking, your mother joined a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes need to develop downlines, and you are her downline."
Jiang Liyi slapped her thigh and said, "No wonder she urged me to go back every day! So, the people who have been chatting with me during this period are members of the pyramid scheme organization. My mother is really a fool. She is very easy to be deceived. When I was with her before, I could still remind her. Now that I am gone, she runs the supermarket by herself. In the eyes of those scammers, she is just a fat sheep to be slaughtered!"
"Before I left for work, I told her to stay away from those scammers, but I didn't expect that she still fell for the scammers! She urged me to come back every day to inherit her supermarket. I thought she was considering my future, but I didn't expect that she was waiting to trick me! Sometimes I really want to scold her and let her wake up, but when I think about how hard she worked to raise me, I can't bear it. Forget it, after all, safety is the most important thing, as long as people are still alive..."
After complaining, Jiang Liyi finally softened her heart. She decided to help her mother solve the problem. As she was about to leave, Bai Mian grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go back to my supermarket and try to persuade my mother." Jiang Liyi said.
"No," Bai Mian stopped her, "Your supermarket is closed."
Jiang Liyi was a little surprised: "It's only 11 o'clock in the morning, why close the door?"
Bai Mian explained: "When I say closed, I don't mean temporarily stopping business, but - the supermarket has closed down."
Jiang Liyi's eyes widened. "How could it go bankrupt? My mother clearly said that the supermarket was her favorite and she didn't want to close it. Besides, the store was ours and we didn't have to pay rent. She could keep it open no matter how bad the business was."
Bai Mian shrugged: "I have some bad news. You should be prepared - in fact, that shop no longer belongs to you."
Jiang Liyi was immediately furious: "What? That's the shop my father left behind. We have lived there for more than 20 years. The shop is under my mother's name. This is my mother's only property in Qingshui Town. Of course it belongs to us!"
Bai Mian: "Your mother gave the shop to someone else."
Jiang Liyi slammed the table and said, "Needless to say, it must be the work of a pyramid scheme organization. I'll go find them!"
Jiang Liyi wanted to leave, but Bai Mian held her back again: "No, you can't go."
Jiang Liyi frowned: "Why? Master, my mother was cheated by the pyramid schemer, and our family's only property was also cheated away. Am I going to swallow my anger here?"
Bai Mian reiterated: "For your safety, you can't go. When I took your pulse just now, I saw an extremely scary future - you are not far from death."
"If you insist on going, then when you enter the supermarket, you will see a horrifying scene - all the doors and windows of the store are covered with white paper, and there are densely packed people sitting on the ground, each of them covering their heads with white paper bags. As soon as you enter the door, they all turn their heads to look at you."
"Although it was broad daylight, the room was very dark. A blind man wearing sunglasses sat among them. He was the pyramid scheme leader. Each member sat cross-legged on the floor with a small candle in front of their knees. In the dim candlelight, the blind man smiled and waved at you, and began to promote his products to you."
"There is a little girl next to the blind man. She is wearing a white dress and sitting barefoot on the ground. There are a lot of mobile phones next to her. These phones were confiscated from members. Of course, your mother's phone is among them. The girl's fingers are nimble and she types very fast. She uses several phones to chat with different people at the same time. The topics of conversation are all about trying to lead them to this supermarket. In the past three months, she is the one who chatted with you."
"You were very angry after seeing all this, and without thinking, you started arguing with them. Then a group of them surrounded you, snatched your phone, and put a white paper bag on your head. They pinned you to the ground and forced you to listen to the blind man's speech. Of course, you didn't believe it and tried your best to refute them, which really annoyed them."
"At the signal of the blind leader, they will lock you in a small dark room, which is the warehouse of your supermarket. They will tie you to a pillar and not give you food and water, forcing you to surrender. But you are a stubborn person and will never surrender to them. You will persist in the warehouse for five days. On the sixth day, you will die of lack of water, with the white paper bag on your head."
Bai Mian's description frightened Jiang Liyi. She said in disbelief, "So the MLM gang is so barbaric that they can do such a thing... No, wasn't my mother there at the scene? Why didn't she come to help me? Did she just watch me starve to death?"
Bai Mian sighed softly: "After these people caught you, your mother also came to her senses, but it was too late. The supermarket has become a pyramid scheme den, and this place is full of their people. Your mother tried every possible way, but not only did she fail to rescue you, she was also locked up in a small dark room by them."
Jiang Liyi shook her head in dismay: "Mom, mom, I always advise you, why don't you listen? Now look what happened, you let the wolf into the house, not only lost my property, but also almost lost my life, you are so stupid!"
After that, she looked at Bai Mian gratefully: "Master, luckily I came to consult you first. After I got off the plane, I didn't even go home, I came directly to you. I thought I would ask your opinion first before going back to see my mother, but I didn't expect that this question would reveal such a shocking news!"
Bai Mian said with relief: "It's a good thing you didn't go back directly, otherwise the ending I saw would have come true. The other side has many people and is very ruthless. You must not challenge them alone."
Jiang Liyi nodded obediently: "Master, what should I do then?"
Bai Mian raised his eyebrows and said, "Lure the snake out of its hole and lure them here."
Jiang Liyi asked: "How to lure the snake out of its hole?"
“Give me the phone.”
Bai Mian reached out to Jiang Liyi and asked for her phone, then typed a line of words in the WeChat chat box between her and her mother and clicked send.
