"Senior brother, do you have any clues?"
Yan Ziyan frowned and said in a deep voice, "According to the victim, he bought the items from the other party after seeing the video on the other party's phone and the person's student ID."
"Did you see the name on the student ID?" Jiang Wanwan quickly asked.
Yan Ziyan shook his head and said, "That person seemed afraid of being recognized, so the student ID was fake."
"What about the video?"
Jiang Wanwan looked puzzled, wondering to herself, "Who exactly is using my name to swindle and deceive people?"
Yan Ziyan took out his phone, opened a video file, and then handed the phone to Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan took the phone and carefully watched the video playing on the screen.
The video shows two scenes. The first scene is a video of Jiang Wanwan bringing her classmates to her home during her university days. In the video, you can clearly hear her inviting her classmates to eat fruit.
The second segment shows the Jiang family courtyard from different angles. Judging from the arrangement and growth of the plants in the courtyard, it can be determined that this was filmed recently. Although there are no people in the pictures, it is still easy to identify this as the Jiang family courtyard through some details.
Jiang Wanwan suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, because she often did live broadcasts in her small courtyard or on the eastern hill, so many netizens were very familiar with her courtyard.
If someone deliberately uses this video to commit fraud, the consequences could be disastrous.
She began to recall the classmates she had invited during her university years, compiled a list, and handed it to Yan Ziyan, asking him to check it out.
Then he posted a statement on his own account on the V Live platform, saying that he had not entrusted any person or organization to sell any cultivation products of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Before the closing ceremony even arrived the next day, Yan Ziyan sent another message: the person had been caught in City A.
So that's what happened.
Under Bai Qinglian's instigation, Jiang Wanwan's ex-boyfriend Zhou Yu, relying on his past experience in the Li family and the connections he had made, began to plan his path to wealth accumulation.
He meticulously planned and organized a so-called "high-level meeting".
In this scheme, Zhou Yu used manipulated photos and videos to imply to the wealthy that he had a close relationship with Sect Leader Jiang of the Xiaoyao Sect, and claimed that he had channels to obtain top-grade pills and Xuan-level cultivation techniques.
At first, these wealthy people weren't so easily fooled, but just then, several shills arranged by Zhou Yu appeared. They deliberately showed great interest in the items provided by Zhou Yu, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
As the atmosphere grew more heated, the wealthy gradually lost their guard and joined in. They even argued fiercely over a few bottles of the so-called elixirs.
In just this one game, Zhou Yu and Bai Qinglian amassed nearly 100 million yuan, and the two of them were almost ecstatic.
Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as they stared at the numbers in their bank account. So much money—enough for them to live on for a lifetime!
However, after the initial excitement subsided, the two gradually calmed down and began to feel afraid and uneasy.
After all, the so-called "elixirs" they sold were just ordinary pills they bought casually from a pharmacy, and the few cultivation manuals were bargain-hunted from a fortune teller under the overpass. If anyone discovered this was all a scam, they would definitely be in deep trouble.
With that in mind, the two left City C overnight, intending to go to City A to avoid trouble.
At the same time, they also wanted to take the opportunity to find a real cultivation technique and then planned to return to Zhou Yu's hometown to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion.
When the two first arrived in City A, they were relatively well-behaved, but their true nature was revealed within two days. The sudden wealth of the poor was a perfect example of how these two could become rich overnight.
They lived a life of luxury and extravagance, and even bought a luxury car.
Last night, Bai Qinglian drove alone, cutting in line and driving against traffic, and even arrogantly assaulting other drivers.
The driver, of course, refused to accept this, so he filmed Bai Qinglian's outrageous behavior and posted it online.
This incident quickly became a hot topic, with netizens leaving comments expressing their indignation and dissatisfaction with the female driver.
As public opinion continued to escalate, relevant departments took notice of the matter and launched an investigation. Ultimately, this also brought to light a fraud case in City C.
"So, these two have been arrested?" Jiang Wanwan found it hard to believe. She had only thought Zhou Yu was a bit vain and snobbish, but she didn't expect him to dare to commit fraud.
"Yes, they're locked up waiting for the investigation results. Because the amount of money involved is too large, I reckon the sentences won't be light," Yan Ziyan said, carefully observing the expression on Jiang Wanwan's face.
After all, he had learned privately that Zhou Yu was Jiang Wanwan's ex-boyfriend.
Jiang Wanwan was stunned. It seemed that her previous understanding of Zhou Yu was too superficial. So she nodded to indicate that she understood.
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan didn't have any particular expression on her face, Yan Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief and then changed the subject to tomorrow's closing ceremony.
"I'll take you somewhere after the closing ceremony tomorrow!" Yan Ziyan suddenly said to Jiang Wanwan mysteriously.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Wanwan asked curiously.
"You'll know when you get there!" Yan Ziyan said, keeping everyone in suspense.
“Okay…” Jiang Wanwan shrugged helplessly.
The closing ceremony took place as scheduled the following day.
The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, and the whole square was filled with a warm atmosphere.
As the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, Jiang Wanwan, dressed in a magnificent robe, gracefully walked onto the stage. Her gaze swept across the entire audience, exuding confidence and authority.
First, Jiang Wanwan gave a comprehensive and in-depth summary of the competition. She highly praised the efforts and dedication of all participants and congratulated the contestants who achieved excellent results.
Next, she specifically mentioned several of her students who had performed exceptionally well in the competition, praising their talent and perseverance. These students stood below the stage, their faces beaming with pride and satisfaction.
Then, Jiang Wanwan announced to the audience: "Now, let's invite our leader, Qin Ze, to present awards to the outstanding disciples!"
Thunderous applause erupted in the room, and people stood up, watching Qin Ze walk toward the podium with reverence.
Mo Yan, Jiang Beixing, and other outstanding disciples stared wide-eyed at their leader, Qin Ze, with expectant expressions.
Their hearts were filled with excitement, and their hands trembled slightly. Having only ever witnessed leaders awarding prizes to distinguished individuals on television before, how could they not be overwhelmed with emotion to experience this moment firsthand?
Qin Ze smiled as he accepted the certificates and prizes from the host and presented them to the winners one by one.
He shook hands with each winner, congratulated them, and encouraged them to continue their efforts. Mo Yan, Jiang Beixing, and others were so excited they could hardly contain themselves, but they remained polite and humble, bowing deeply in gratitude after receiving their awards.
