Shen Heng, however, sensed something was amiss. After all, he had spent a long time in Zhuzhou and knew that the people there were quite cunning.
He then asked, "What's going on with you? Why did you go out with her? How did you two meet?"
Yang Fenglin then told Shen Heng, "I was just bored out of my way, and she said there was a fun place, so I went with her. I was planning to go and come back early, but I'm really sorry for keeping everyone from having dinner."
It's already past eight o'clock, and they still haven't eaten a single grain of rice.
Bai Jiaojiao rubbed her forehead. She didn't feel hungry at the moment. After hearing Yang Fenglin's words, she remembered the first time she met him. This guy was indeed very outgoing. Bai Jiaojiao wasn't surprised at all that Yang Fenglin could do such a thing.
Shen Heng couldn't understand and couldn't help but say, "You don't even know her, yet you're following her?"
Yang Fenglin is such a grown man, even Bai Doudou knows that he shouldn't go wandering around with strangers.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at Shen Heng: "Brother Heng, is there something wrong with this woman?"
“After all, it was this woman who led Feng Lin to that market. You might not know if you haven’t been here before, but some of the people here are shills. There are scammers who set up the scheme, and these shills are responsible for bringing people there. The scammers get a commission based on the number of people they bring,” Shen Heng said.
Yang Fenglin was still skeptical after hearing Shen Heng's analysis: "Brother-in-law, Xiaoman is a very good person, she wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, it was really my own fault for getting carried away, I kept losing and kept trying to turn things around, it wasn't her who asked me to do it."
"Why don't we just go back and ask?"
Looking at the sunny and cheerful young man in front of him, Shen Heng was too lazy to say anything more.
"Let's go register it, and then go back to the guesthouse and ask her."
Bai Jiaojiao naturally trusted Shen Heng's judgment. After all, Shen Heng had been involved in society since childhood, and his ability to judge people and things was definitely more accurate than hers and Yang Fenglin's.
Yang Fenglin knew he had made a mistake today, but he didn't argue and just silently followed behind Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng.
Cheng Ge still owed Yang Fenglin eighty yuan. After they gave their statements, they signed them and left.
Officer Chen saw Yang Fenglin's signature.
Her surname is Yang, and her given name is Bai Jiaojiao; she is the older sister.
So isn't he Yang Fu's biological grandson? Or at least a cousin! He's still part of the Yang family!
What heinous thing did he do to cause this group of privileged children of officials to be exposed?
Bai Jiaojiao and the others had no idea what Officer Chen was thinking. However, when they returned to the guesthouse, the hostess told them that Xiaoman had already checked out and left.
Xiaoman left just like that, and Yang Fenglin felt as if all the blood in his body rushed to his head.
He asked eagerly, "Sister, you must have the registration information here, can we take a look?"
"Of course not, these things are their privacy, how can I show them to you?"
The older woman gave Yang Fenglin a strange look.
Yang Fenglin said, "Big sister, I was cheated out of money by someone, and now I suspect that Xiaoman deliberately tricked me into this. Please let us take a look!"
"Scamming? She doesn't seem like that kind of person. But this really won't do; we have rules."
After the older sister finished speaking, Yang Fenglin wanted to try again, but Bai Jiaojiao stopped him.
Yang Fenglin stopped talking, and Bai Jiaojiao said, "Big sister, can we borrow your phone for a moment? We want to call the police station."
"One cent per session."
“We have to pay to call the police.” Yang Fenglin is now particularly sensitive about money.
"It's the same price no matter who you call."
Bai Jiaojiao took out a dime, and the woman took it: "One minute, don't go over time."
Bai Jiaojiao dialed the police station and told the officers about the clues they suspected, asking them to come over and investigate this Xiaoman.
After finishing all that, Bai Jiaojiao said to Shen Heng, "Brother Heng, let's go eat."
There were quite a few small restaurants outside the guesthouse, but the group wasn't in the mood for anything better, so they just found a small restaurant that served freshly cooked dishes and made do.
This small restaurant places all the ingredients for stir-frying on the outside, making their freshness visible. The pots are also set up where everyone can see them, which makes it clean and reassuring.
The three sat down. Yang Fenglin was feeling very uncomfortable, and a large pile of food was left on one side: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm not hungry at all."
Even after catching the swindler, Yang Fenglin still felt terrible about losing so much money, as if a huge rock was lodged in his chest.
Not only was my trachea blocked, but my esophagus was also completely blocked. My stomach was full, and I wasn't hungry at all.
Moreover, the thought that Xiaoman, such a cheerful girl, was only chatting happily with him to lead him into being scammed made him even more depressed.
Bai Jiaojiao comforted her, "Food is essential for life. No matter what happens, you still have to eat. Eat quickly, the police will be here soon."
Shen Heng urged, "Hurry up and eat, stop overthinking."
He won't be playing with this naive young master next time.
Luckily, they only scammed him out of a little money this time. If he had actually been tricked into gambling, this guy might not have been able to wait for him to come and rescue him.
Although Bai Jiaojiao was trying to persuade Yang Fenglin, she actually didn't have much of an appetite. The three of them ordered four dishes, but the two of them barely touched them.
Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao was not eating much, Shen Heng asked the shopkeeper to give him a meat bun.
The three returned to the guesthouse and sat in the lobby waiting for the police to arrive. Perhaps because there were too many people there, the police were not enough to manage the security. They waited for another half hour after finishing their meal before the police finally came.
Officer Chen was still leading the charge, after all, he was the one who took on the case.
Officer Chen's attitude softened considerably when facing Shen Heng this time: "You said on the phone that you suspected someone was acting as a shill for Brother Cheng, right? We have already interrogated Hong Yuncheng, and he has confessed to everything. We have also distributed the stolen money he had on him to the other parties involved today. We also brought over this comrade's eighty yuan. As for the previous scams, we will try our best to find the victims later."
Officer Chen reported the progress of the case to the three of them, as if he were giving a work report.
That's not what Yang Fenglin wanted to hear: "Didn't he mention Xiaoman?"
“We haven’t questioned Hong Yuncheng about the matter in that direction, and he hasn’t confessed on his own. We want to take this Xiaoman back and interrogate her together.”
Officer Chen was extremely respectful, which left the hostel staff in awe.
Zhuzhou was reformed early and developed quickly. Many big bosses come and go from this guesthouse every day, and she has seen many wealthy people before.
This was the first time she had ever seen a uniformed police officer so obsequious.
As she was racking her brains to see if she had offended any of the three men during her conversation, she heard Officer Chen ask her to retrieve Xiaoman's registration information for him.
