Chapter 168 Being Cheated
Ling Feng was stunned, "You, you want to give me this can?!"
"It's not for you. Big brother, go and change it for me. When I come back tomorrow, give me the money and I'll give you 20,000. Is that okay?"
The bald middle-aged man was not happy. "Young man, I can help you change it. Why are you looking for him? Give it to me, give it to me."
As he said this, he tried to grab it, but the young man dodged it.
"Humph, I see that you are not sincere in helping me, you are just after my hundreds of thousands of dollars."
He pulled Ling Feng's arm again, "Brother, I trust you. Go and help me change. We'll meet here at the same time tomorrow."
As he said that, he stuffed all the cans and their pull rings into Ling Feng's hands.
The weather in Shenzhen was hot, and the young man was sweating as he squeezed the can and the pull ring.
It feels warm in the hand, making people unconsciously tighten their fingers.
"You, you just gave it to me like this?"
Ling Feng still found it incredible.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, just give it to him like this?
He does look honest and reliable. People have said so since he was a child. They say he looks much more reliable than Ling Ye.
The young man hesitated after hearing what he said, and said, "Brother, do you have any money? How about you give me some money?"
"I, I don't have 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. I only have a little over 1,000 yuan."
Ling Feng felt unsure again, especially when the bald middle-aged man sneered at the side.
"It's just over a thousand dollars, you might as well give it to me."
He took out his briefcase, counted out two thousand yuan on the spot, and tried to grab the pull ring from Ling Feng's hand.
"Give it to me, give it to me. You poor bastard is trying to take advantage of me."
It’s one thing to be a bystander.
It’s another matter if something is snatched away after you have it.
Ling Feng held the pull ring tightly, his heart was pounding and his face turned red.
"What are you robbing! What are you robbing! This was given to me!"
Seeing others eagerly taking out money, he felt like he saw the duck in his mouth about to fly away.
With one hand free, he took out some money from his pocket and stuffed all the money except a few coins into the young man's hand.
"Here, I've given you the money. I'll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow!"
After saying that, Ling Feng squeezed through the crowd and ran away.
Didn’t you see that several people couldn’t help but start grabbing it?
It's his turn to get rich, but he shouldn't let others get away with it.
He ran out and turned around, and saw the young man still waving at him, "Brother! See you tomorrow! Don't let me down! I will definitely give you 20,000 tomorrow!"
Ling Feng agreed verbally, but cursed in his heart, "Dream on."
This little nerd with western eyes has become stupid simply because he read too much.
He can get a Santana, why does he want 20,000?
Wouldn't it be better to just drive home?
When you get home and show off enough, you can sell it and you will have both face and money.
Ling Feng held the pull ring in his hand tightly, not daring to loosen the can even a little bit.
It was as if what he was holding in his hand was a thin piece of gold paper that would disappear with a gust of wind.
As the sun peeked out from behind the steel and concrete, Shenzhen became even hotter.
Ling Feng was wearing a lot of clothes, and the sweat on his forehead was streaming down like water. He felt dizzy and hot because of the heat.
Running to a deserted place, he picked up the can and drank the steaming Coke inside.
Then he looked carefully at the redemption address on the can.
He didn't have enough money to take a taxi, so after buying a newspaper at the map, he decided to walk.
He walked until after two in the afternoon, with layers of sweat on his body, and finally stood outside the Coca-Cola Company.
When I entered the office, I saw that the air conditioning was on full blast.
Ling Feng was still feeling the heat of the summer and he shivered suddenly as he entered the house.
"Comrade, I'm here to claim my prize."
When the girl at the front desk heard this, her expression changed and her fingers subconsciously touched the phone.
Ling Feng was dizzy from the heat and didn't see the receptionist's expression clearly. He was still holding the pull ring in his hand excitedly.
"Special prize! The special prize is a Santana!"
The receptionist said nothing and picked up the microphone with a serious expression.
"Hello? Is this the Public Security Bureau? Someone from the Coca-Cola company has been defrauded again."
Ling Feng didn't understand and couldn't help but take a few steps closer.
He carefully placed the shiny pull ring soaked with sweat on the table.
"Look, I won the prize, where can I claim it?"
The girl at the front desk showed sympathy and said into the microphone: "Yes, the gentleman who was defrauded is right in front of me."
Ling Feng heard it clearly this time.
Scam?
What scam?
He looked around and there was no one else in the room except him.
He was cheated?
"What do you mean? Who is the man who was defrauded? Tell me clearly!"
The girl at the front desk said in embarrassment: "Sir, our company has never had this kind of activity. Your pull ring and can are both fake. You have been deceived."
boom……
It felt like someone was holding a sledgehammer and hitting him on the head.
Ling Feng's ears buzzed and he suddenly felt dizzy and his head felt heavy.
With a bang, his feet went weak and he fell to the ground, and everything went black before his eyes.
Ling Feng was interrogated by the police in the hospital.
He seemed to be still in a daze, leaning against the wall in a daze, feeling as if something was missing in his hand.
He curled his fingers a few times and asked again: "Comrade police, am I really cheated? How could it be? The young man with glasses looks like a nerd, and the bald middle-aged man saw him win the prize. That man is smart. Was he also cheated?"
"That's not right. He wants to offer 10,000, and the guy with slicked back hair wants to offer 15,000. Why does that young man cheat me instead of anyone else?"
"Police comrades, do you think that Coca-Cola Company doesn't want to take responsibility for this? They, they regret it and don't want to give me the car, so they said this."
The policeman put away the notebook and the pen cap was put on with a click, which brought the matter to an early end.
"Mr. Ling, you have indeed been defrauded, and you are not the only one who has been defrauded this month. They are a group of repeat offenders."
"The young man with glasses, the bald middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man with slicked back hair you mentioned are all in the same group. Even the people watching nearby are probably their accomplices. The whole process was just a show they put on, and their only purpose was to defraud you of your money."
Ling Feng's head became even more dizzy after hearing this, and he could only repeat mechanically, "Impossible, how could it be? It must be a mistake... a mistake."
"Why would they target me? I don't know them, they can't possibly know I'm rich? Is it because I'm unlucky?"
The policeman said: "It's not bad luck. They may have been targeting you without you knowing. You said you got off the train. Did you cover your pockets for money or avoid the crowd when you were on the train or when you got off?"
"The most important thing is, if you don't expect something pie in the sky, you won't fall into this trap. They are taking advantage of your eagerness to get rich."
Ling Feng's face turned completely pale.
It’s right, isn’t it all right?
Could it be that he was really deceived?
