Chapter 119 Jinjiang First Launch

Bai Mian nodded slightly. Seeing Bai Mian's action, Jiang Liyi's heart instantly sank to the bottom. She had many terrible guesses, and the people around her also whispered.

"Oh my God, could her mother be dead? I remember the news saying 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. It took the family a long time to find out."

"Almost. 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 Master, can you please consider the Master's feelings and be careful with your words!"

"That's right, what you just said was too unlucky, bah bah bah! Master Yuan, don't take it to heart, maybe your mother just lost contact, but she is still fine."

Jiang Liyi was upset by what these people said. She patted her head in regret: "Oh, it's all my fault. I was too careless. I only cared about working and making money. I didn't even notice the changes in my mother. I should have thought of it earlier. Not making video calls or phone calls 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 save 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, 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 and 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 take her place to chat with me on WeChat? Is 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 shocked 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 for money or for sex?"

Bai Mian shook his head: "Neither, they want you as a person, they want you to join them."

Jiang Liyi became anxious again: "Master, from what you said, it seems that the other party is organized. Could it be that my mother has 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. My mother is really a fool. She is easy to be deceived. When I was with her before, I could still remind her. Now that I am gone, she runs a supermarket by herself. In the eyes of those scammers, she is just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"

"Before I left for work, I told her to stay away from those scammers, but she still fell for them! She urged me to come back every day to inherit her supermarket, and I thought she was thinking about my future, but 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 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 are you closing the door?"

Bai Mian explained: "When I say closed, I don't mean temporarily stopping business, but the supermarket has gone bankrupt."

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 it to close. 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: "Here's some bad news. You should be prepared - in fact, that store 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. It is my mother's only property in Qingshui Town. Of course it belongs to us!"

Bai Mian: "Your mother gave the shop away 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 a pyramid schemer, and our family's only property was also cheated away. Am I going to just sit here and swallow my anger?"

Bai Mian reiterated: "For your safety, you can't go. When I took your pulse just now, I saw an extremely terrible future - you are not far from death."

"If you insist on going, you will see a horrifying scene when you enter the supermarket - all the doors and windows of the store are covered with white paper, and there are densely packed people sitting on the ground, each covering their heads with white paper bags. As soon as you enter the door, they all turn their heads and look at you."

"Although it was broad daylight, the room was very dark. A blind man wearing sunglasses sat in the middle of the group. 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."

"Next to the blind man, there is a little girl 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, including your mother's phone. The girl's fingers are flexible 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 attract them to this supermarket. In the past three months, she is the one who has been chatting 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 mobile phone, and put a similar 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 strongly refuted them, which really annoyed them."

"At the signal of the blind leader, they locked you in a small dark room, which was the warehouse of your supermarket. They tied you to a pillar and denied you food and water, forcing you to surrender. But you were a stubborn person and would never surrender to them. You persisted in the warehouse for five days. On the sixth day, you died of lack of water with the white paper bag on your head."

Jiang Liyi was frightened by Bai Mian's description. She said in disbelief, "It turns out that the MLM gang is so barbaric that they can do such a thing... No, wasn't my mother also there? Why didn't she come to help me? Did she just watch me starve to death?"

Bai Mian sighed softly: "After this gang caught you, your mother also woke up, but it was too late. The supermarket had already become a pyramid scheme den. This place was full of their people. Your mother tried every possible way, but not only did she fail to save you, she was also locked up in a small dark room by them."

Jiang Liyi shook her head in frustration: "Mom, mom, I always advise you, why don't you listen? Now you've let the wolf in, not only did you lose your property, but you almost even lost your life. You're so stupid!"

After saying 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, but came directly to you. I thought I would ask for your opinion 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 more people and is 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 snakes out of their holes, lure them here."

Jiang Liyi asked, "How do you lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Give me the phone."

Bai Mian reached out to Jiang Liyi and took her phone, then typed a line of words in the WeChat conversation box between her and her mother and clicked send.
