The young Yuan Jie outside the image has already roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Originally, Sun Xiaohao encountered a group of scammers while driving drunk. They expected that Sun Xiaohao would not dare to resolve the matter through formal channels, so they felt at ease and boldly extorted money from him.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaohao's eloquent speech persuaded the other party to turn the blackmail case into a kidnapping case, intending to join the gang of scoundrels to cheat his parents and make a fortune.
However, it seems that the group of scammers are not very smart and are good at playing rogue. After all, even if it is clearly confirmed that they are scammers, there are usually no effective punishment measures. They may also encounter law enforcement officers who are reluctant to compromise and ask the other party to pay some money to settle the matter. It can be said that the cost of crime is very low.
Besides the burly man and the elderly couple, the gang also included a teenage boy and a woman estimated to be in her thirties. Judging from the current situation, the two older men were primarily responsible for the "touching cars" scams, while the burly man was the "force" of the gang, known for his threats and intimidation. The middle-aged woman and child likely played a similar role to the wailing old woman.
I don't know if they were blinded by the benefits Sun Xiaohao promised, or if they were just ignorant, but they actually cooperated quite actively in the kidnapping case. They seemed unaware of the serious consequences that were about to await them.
In the next small frame image, middle-aged Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie combined the money in the card with the change in WeChat and Alipay, and transferred 500,000 yuan to the bank card that usually used to give Sun Xiaohao pocket money.
On Sun Xiaohao's side, a text message alert sounded, and several people hurriedly looked through the content of the text message. Five hundred thousand yuan had arrived.
The big guys carefully counted the "0"s at the end: "One, two, three, four, five, hahahaha, good job, kid, you really didn't lie to us. Your parents are really unlucky to have a prodigal son like you, but we are still very lucky to have met you, right?"
As they spoke, they tried to untie Sun Xiaohao and tell him to transfer the money quickly. They had a video of the entire process from his drinking to the drunk driving accident, as well as a recording of Sun Xiaohao negotiating with them about the kidnapping and the money. If they called the police, they would implicate the young man himself as the mastermind. Even if his parents did, the matter would be mitigated.
At this time, Sun Xiaohao's phone rang again. Several people remained highly alert. After Sun Xiaohao signaled everyone present to be quiet, he answered the phone: "We have transferred the money, 500,000, see if it has arrived! Don't hurt my son, he has a bad stomach, don't let him starve!" Yuan Jie said in a crying voice on the phone.
Sun Xiaohao listened to Yuan Jie's voice on the phone and for a moment regretted his decision today, feeling very sorry for his parents. But then he thought about how his family brought in so much money every month, yet the couple only stingily gave him so little. Not only could he not show off in front of his friends, but he also had to be laughed at by a bunch of low-class people who made a living by scamming people. He felt angry.
Thinking of this, his slight sense of guilt and regret quickly disappeared without a trace.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Xiaohao was untied and readily paid 250,000 yuan: "Everyone needs to continue to cooperate with me to perform well tomorrow's play. I will pay you the promised benefits tomorrow."
The group of people felt extremely happy when they saw more than 200,000 yuan arrive in seconds. They readily agreed to Sun Xiaohao's request and sent the little boy out with the money to buy a bunch of barbecue, beer and drinks to celebrate together.
Sun Xiaohao guessed that given the feelings Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin had for him, they would never call the police for their own safety if he pretended to be so miserable.
However, he underestimated the IQ of Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin.
While Sun Aimin was mediating with the other party over the phone, he had actually secretly called the police in advance. The police monitored the call and quickly located Sun Xiaohao's phone number, determining the exact location of the criminals.
By checking the surveillance footage, the local police discovered the location where Sun Xiaohao was hit by a scam, determined the composition of the criminal gang, and formulated a plan to capture the criminals and rescue Sun Xiaohao.
While the few people were eating and drinking, the local police had quietly moved out and surrounded a dilapidated small bungalow in the urban village where the group was located.
Everything was ready, and the SWAT broke in. Everyone in the house was horrified when they heard the noise, and they were ready to flee in panic. Only Sun Xiaohao reacted quickly, dropping the food in his hand and curling up in the corner, looking trembling with fear.
Soon, five people involved in the case, including the big man, the elderly man and woman, the middle-aged woman and the little boy, were all arrested and Sun Xiaohao, who had a bruised face and nose, was successfully rescued.
The police interrogated the gang members overnight. Several members of the kidnapping case unanimously said that the kidnapping was planned and carried out by Sun Xiaohao himself. They claimed to have evidence and handed over the video recording of Sun Xiaohao's planning process to the police.
During the interview, Sun Xiaohao flatly denied the allegations, saying that the kidnapping video was filmed under duress and that the gang's goal was to exonerate him. Sun Xiaohao watched the video and realized that due to his position and the angle of the camera, half of the large man's body was hidden behind him. Suddenly, Sun Xiaohao had an idea.
"That big guy held a knife to my waist. I was so scared I just said whatever they told me to say. And all those injuries on my body and face are real. Just look at how much strength it takes to inflict that. I'd have to be an idiot to take my own life!" Sun Xiaohao still shudders when he thinks back on the punches the big guy gave him. This simple-minded, muscular idiot, he told me to hit him with a little force, but he used all his strength.
