“But what if we run into a man like that again, someone who knows local bullies and causes us trouble? That man last time seemed unremarkable, and I thought he wouldn't dare to cause trouble, but he called the police and even brought in Longcheng.”
Mao Xia was still a little worried. Unlike Hong Kong, the mainland wasn't a place where gangsters could solve everything.
If she and Greyhound commit a crime in mainland China, they could be executed if the matter gets out of hand.
In previous years, people were frequently executed. Qiu Jiadong was executed by Luo Kangcheng for committing too many bad deeds. This caused a great uproar in Deyang. Mao Xia, who had been defiled by Qiu Jiadong, clapped her hands in delight upon hearing the news.
Mao Xia was worried that her fate would not be good.
In this era where everyone can make money, if others can strike it rich in the South China Sea, so can she. If others come as paupers and leave as millionaires, so can Mao Xia! Mao Xia thought that since they had money, why not start a company, buy some land and give it a try? Maybe it would work.
But Greyhound didn't think so. Greyhound thought she was being delusional and that it was a joke for a young lady like her to be pursuing a career.
"Alright! Your brother Dog doesn't want to work a regular job or run a company! That's too slow for making money! Robbery is much faster. I'll go keep watch tonight, and tomorrow you go find this man, start dating him, trick him into going to a hotel, and I'll take care of the rest."
"We've only just arrived in the mainland and we're already doing something this big. Isn't that risky?" Mao Xia was terrified. She felt that Greyhound was acting rashly. The mainland wasn't Hong Kong. Greyhound didn't even bother to understand the situation before starting so quickly. They hadn't even established good relationships with the hotels yet.
Moreover, Greyhound has no subordinates in the South China Sea. Without these henchmen following him, would those men who have been scammed really be afraid?
"Brother Gou, think about it. We run honey traps in Hong Kong because these men are rich, powerful, have families, and status. But it's different in the mainland. Transportation and communication are underdeveloped there. These men go out to make money, and even if they mess around, they're not afraid of being found out. We ask for 100,000, but they think it's not worth it. What if they tell us, 'Take the photos if you want, spread the word if you want,' and they don't care at all? What are we supposed to do then!"
Mao Xia's words made sense; this wasn't Hong Kong, and Greyhound's trick wouldn't be as effective.
"Then I'll cut off his hand!"
“In mainland China, you’d get arrested and taken to the police station if you carried a knife, Dog Bro. Let’s observe for a couple more days. Don’t let impatience ruin everything!”
Greyhound thought Mao Xia was being indecisive and didn't have the demeanor he had in Hong Kong, but Mao Xia knew there was a reason for it all.
She has suffered too many setbacks in mainland China, so she dares not speak out. Zhou Fangchun is still detained and said to be executed, but there has been no news.
Mao Xia was afraid that one day she would open the newspaper and see the news that Zhou Fangchun had been executed.
All of this terrified her.
Greyhound noticed Mao Xia's caution. He stared at Mao Xia with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery. In fact, Greyhound didn't necessarily have to partner with Mao Xia. He could easily find a woman in the mainland and work with her to set up a honey trap.
Greyhound's real target in the South China Sea is Zhou Jian'an, who is Mao Xia's uncle. Even if the two have a conflict, it would be easy for Mao Xia to call him out.
If Greyhound can kidnap Zhou Jian'an, Zhou Jian'an will never call the police!
He has 100 million, so giving him 10 million is no big deal.
Greyhound felt that none of this was a problem. Since he could earn ten million, why would he want to work hard to earn small amounts of money?
He didn't want to be a honey trap victim, earning tens of thousands of yuan a day through exhausting work.
Greyhound patted Mao Xia on the shoulder, telling her to take care of herself.
Mao Xia felt that Greyhound was out of control, and she was a little irritated. At lunchtime, Greyhound disappeared. Mao Xia went downstairs to find something to eat, but she never expected that she would run into Xiang Yanlong!
"Xiang Yanlong!" Mao Xia blocked him in the restaurant.
Xiang Yanlong was stunned for a moment, staring at Mao Xia in disbelief. More than a year had passed since they last met. Mao Xia had permed hair that looked like it belonged to a prostitute, wore heavy makeup, bright red lipstick, and her fingernails were also painted bright red. She looked like a streetwalker and had nothing like the person she used to be.
"Mao Xia? What are you doing in the South China Sea?" Xiang Yanlong asked subconsciously.
Mao Xia burst into tears. She felt suppressed and wronged. She didn't understand why Xiang Yanlong would lie to her like this. She had lost all her money and everything. In order to earn money, she had to become a prostitute. For more than a year, she had been living a life worse than death.
But that bastard Xiang Yanlong ran away with her money!
"Xiang Yanlong, I really liked you back then, and I considered you my future man. But why did he do this? Why did he collude with Zhou Jian'an to deceive me! I was pregnant with your child when I went to the police station to report you. When the police officer told me you were a fraud, I couldn't believe it. I felt like the sky had fallen. I didn't even have the money for an abortion. I was at my wit's end, and I wanted to die! You took the money and ran away. Did you ever think about what kind of life I was living?"
Mao Xia's constant crying annoyed Xiang Yanlong.
Is this woman out of her mind?!
He lied, so why ask why? Why else would he lie to you? He'd lie to you because you're easy to fool! Thirty-seven million—which man wouldn't be tempted? He only made a mistake that every man in the world makes, so what?
Xiang Yanlong chuckled twice and said:
"Mao Xia, you can't blame me. It was all your uncle's idea. I was paid to do it, so I had no choice!"
"No way? You cheated me out of my money and you say there's nothing you can do? Come back to Hong Kong with me and turn yourself in, and give me back my money!"
Xiang Yanlong looked troubled. "Mao Xia, I only took the five million your uncle gave me. In the past year or so, I've spent it all on cigarettes, alcohol, and gambling. I haven't saved any money at all. I'm having trouble making ends meet now. Where am I going to get the money to pay you back?"
Xiang Yanlong originally wanted to flee to the United States to avoid Mao Xia, but visas were hard to obtain. As a construction worker, Xiang Yanlong didn't even have a passport, and going to the United States was impractical because of the language barrier.
He decided to do the opposite and come to the mainland to avoid the limelight.
Mao Xia came from the mainland, and she probably won't go back. Xiang Yanlong had made good plans. He went to Shenzhen for a trip, renting out places to find prostitutes every day, and was even tricked into gambling by a friend.
Xiang Yanlong lost money in Pengcheng and came to the South China Sea to escape his debts.
I originally thought that the South China Sea was inconvenient to access and would be a good place to hide from people.
Xiang Yanlong never dreamed that he would be ambushed by Mao Xia in the South China Sea.
Mao Xia burst into tears, "So much money, and you've spent it all? Xiang Yanlong, that's my money!"
"Anyway, I have no money, but I can take your life," Xiang Yanlong said, glancing at Mao Xia's face and forcing a smile. "Mao Xia, could you lend me some money? I'll definitely pay you back in a few days!"
Mao Xia wished he could chop Xiang Yanlong to pieces!
"Xiang Yanlong, are you crazy?! I'm calling the police to arrest you! You're coming with me to the police station right now!"
"Call the police?" Xiang Yanlong wasn't afraid at all. He sneered and glanced at Mao Xia with disdain. "You dare to call the police to arrest me? If I'm not mistaken, your mother committed a crime in the mainland, right? Zhou Jian'an was involved too! You are wanted criminals in the mainland. If you dare to call the police to arrest me, you won't be able to escape either!"
