Chapter 554 Returning Early



So in the end, Teng borrowed 360,000 yuan from Lao Zhang. After he got the money, he immediately said that from now on, they would be the closest brothers, closer than real brothers.

He could give all his connections to Lao Zhang, so that he could just tell him directly if he needed any help, and he would ensure that it would be handled as his own business.

This was exactly what Lao Zhang wanted, and he felt that it was the right thing to do. He had long forgotten what Wei Mian had said to him.

After Teng took the money, Lao Zhang felt that it was no use contacting him all the time as if he was asking him to pay it back. Since he had already lent the money, he might as well make both parties happy. So he didn't contact him until a month later.

Mr. Teng did answer the phone, but he said that a few more friends insisted on joining in, so his business was bigger and the profit was higher. It would take at least two months to see the money, so he asked Lao Zhang to be patient and wait.

Lao Zhang became even more excited after hearing this and started to fantasize about selling his car and then using the money he earned this time to buy a good second-hand car.

Another month passed, and Lao Zhang called Teng again, but found that his call was not connected. Lao Zhang was anxious but had no choice but to call him for several days in a row.

However, the cold female voice kept saying that the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable.

Later it became "The number you dialed is not in service."

So Lao Zhang hurriedly looked for a few other people who had also lent money to Teng, but found that everyone’s situation was similar and they couldn’t find anyone.

He wanted to ask the classmate he met at his younger sister's wedding, but he could never get through to that person on the phone. Lao Zhang had no choice, but his creditor was classmate Teng, so he could only find a way to find him.

After checking, everyone found that the amount of money lent out by these people ranged from 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and from 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, which added up to a total of 3 million yuan.

They hurried to Fujimoto's old house to look for him. They remembered that Fujimoto's parents lived there. However, after they got there, they found out that Fujimoto's parents had moved away a few years ago.

As for where they moved to, some neighbors said Shanghai, some said Shenzhen, and some said Beijing. Anyway, he moved to a big city after becoming rich and successful.

Now everyone was panicking. They tried all kinds of methods but couldn't find the person, so they had no choice but to run to the police station to call the police.

The Public Security Bureau accepted the case and took a record. The process of being deceived was similar for everyone. A few days later, they learned from the police that Mr. Teng was not as awesome as he said he was.

He really did do business, but only the stall in the electronics mall at the beginning was real. Later on, he talked about wholesale mobile phones, but in fact he was working in a place where mobile phones were wholesaled. Those cash flows were not his at all.

Even the super expensive folding screen phones he uses are second-hand, not his own phones that he claims he has no shortage of money for.

There are also reports that all cooperation with operators is a scam, the purpose of which is to extort money from these friends and relatives.

The police are also tracking down Mr. Fuji. The amount of money involved has exceeded three million, which is a huge amount.

However, after a period of time, classmate Teng seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. There was no news of him anywhere, and his family and wife had no contact with him, which made Lao Zhang very anxious.

At this moment, he remembered what the master had said, "Once you go, you can never come back," and he couldn't help but slap himself in the face in regret.

"I deserve to die, I really deserve to die, I was blinded by money, I really deserve it!"

Thinking that the money he had saved by living frugally was just swindled away, he wanted to ask the master again if he could calculate Teng's address so that he could go there in person to get the money back.

But when he climbed the mountain for a long time and arrived at the small villa in the mountains, he found that there was no one here.

Lao Zhang stood outside the fence and shouted for a long time, but no one came into the house. Finally, he had to leave in frustration.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go into the house, but the house was a little weird. The fence was only half a person's height and he could just lift his leg to step over it, but he tried for a long time and couldn't get over it.

Thinking of the master's reputation, he knew that he must have used some means to prevent people from entering.

I couldn't help but feel even more regretful. I knew the master was very powerful, but why did he refuse to listen when others advised him? Or was it greed that was playing tricks on him?

The police investigated for a while and confirmed that Mr. Fuji was committing fraud, but because they couldn't find him, they later posted his information online, hoping to mobilize the public to track him down.

However, they didn't expect that just a few days after the information was sent, they suddenly received an anonymous call. There was a young man's voice on the other end. He gave an address and said that classmate Fuji was at this place.

The police went to the location provided on the phone and quickly arrested Fujita, who was having a drunken night with his young lover.

Wei Mian didn't care about what happened afterwards. She originally wanted to return to Qingping in July, but because Taoist Bai encountered some problems, she went back early.

Although Taoist Bai no longer tells fortunes on the overpass in the past two years, he is still not without a source of income. He receives a pension from the government.

So when he had nothing to do, Taoist Bai would set up a stall in a park near his home. However, now he didn't tell fortunes, but drew pictures with people's names.

It's probably just drawing some flowers, birds, fish and insects, and then piecing together a person's name, or some idioms with good meanings, which can be hung at home as decoration.

Wei Mian had also seen it before. It must be said that Taoist Bai’s craftsmanship was quite good, but young people nowadays didn’t like this, so his so-called stall was just to find people to chat with.

Perhaps because his mood has changed, Taoist Bai is now an old man who looks very popular.

After all, he is also a half-baked person, and he knows a lot about Taoism. Over the years, he has even pretended to have some immortal air.

Some younger people think he is a bit mysterious and are willing to talk to him, so Taoist Bai is popular in the park and the community.

This time he was looking for Wei Mian because of a neighbor's child.

The other party was a girl in her early twenties who had just finished the college entrance examination. However, she happened to be sick during the exam, so even though the results had not come out, she knew that she did not do well.

I don’t know if this is the reason why the other party committed suicide.

The little girl's surname is also Bai, and her name is Bai Tingxue, which is a very nice name. She is also a relative of Taoist Bai, so the old and the young have a very good relationship.

"Tingxue is a girl who loves to laugh and has a cheerful personality. She always greets us neighbors when she sees us. She also teaches us how to use our phones when we need help."

Taoist Bai couldn't help but sigh when he talked about Bai Tingxue. Such a popular young person, but the old men and women in the community were heartbroken when they heard that she had committed suicide.

This child is so lovable, they really treat her as their own kid.

Who would have thought that I just went out for a trip and when I came back I heard that the child had committed suicide.
