Chapter 559 The Fatal Truth
"Then what did she say when she called you later, during that more than one-hour call?"
Qi Tongwei's voice was like an icy blade, stabbing straight at the fraudster.
The scammer's eyes were evasive, like a mouse exposed to strong light. His gaze wandered around the room, but he didn't dare to look Qi Tongwei in the eye.
But he didn't dare to deceive Qi Tongwei. After all, he had just experienced the power of Qi Tongwei's methods.
"At that time, Mengyao found that she seemed to have been deceived, but she was not sure."
The swindler began to tell his story, his voice trembling a little, as if he was recalling a conspiracy that he himself felt was shameful.
"Our people are still trying to get her to make the final investment, telling her it was a problem with the website. It's like the last thread in an elaborate web of lies, trying to completely trap her."
"We told her that if she invested another 100,000 yuan, she could get all her money back."
This is a typical scam tactic that takes advantage of victims' eagerness to recover their losses and leads them into a deeper trap step by step.
The con man swallowed and continued, "She told me she might be a scammer."
His expression was a little unnatural, as if he could sense Mengyao's doubt and uneasiness at the time.
Qi Tongwei said sternly: "What did you say?"
The sound rang in the fraudster's ears like a thunderclap, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
The scammer's voice was quieter than a mosquito: "I don't think so, I made money in it..."
His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but it was clearly audible in the silent room.
He went on to say, "I also told her that I had encountered a similar situation at the beginning, but because I believed in the company, I invested another sum of money. As a result, I not only made back all the money I had previously invested, but also made a lot more."
"I gave her some fabricated examples, saying there was an older woman in a similar situation who also hesitated for a long time, but finally listened to my advice and now lives a prosperous life."
As the scammer spoke, he secretly observed Qi Tongwei's expression. Seeing that Qi Tongwei's face became more and more gloomy, his voice became smaller and smaller.
"I also told her that this was a rare opportunity, and if she missed it, the money she had invested would be wasted."
"I tried to convince her that this was a special promotion the company set up to reward old users, and only a few people were eligible."
"I kept describing a bright future to her over the phone, saying that after investing the $100,000, she would soon see the money in her account grow like a snowball."
"I also told you that the company has a professional financial team behind the scenes to ensure everything is foolproof."
"I used all sorts of sweet talk to dispel her doubts and convince her that this was a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity and not a scam."
"I know it's wrong to do this, but I'm doing this to complete the task assigned to me by the boss. I really have no choice."
He tried to make excuses for his behavior, but that weak voice seemed so powerless in the face of Qi Tongwei's majesty.
Qi Tongwei frowned and said, "Something's wrong. Then how did she get here?"
His eyes were fixed on the fraudster as if they were real.
The scammer's body trembled slightly. He swallowed hard and had to say, "Okay, I've said it all. She didn't call me after that. But she got a number from somewhere and texted me several times, saying I was a scammer and asking me to return all my money or she would have someone kill me."
As the scammer spoke, he secretly observed Qi Tongwei's face. Seeing that Qi Tongwei didn't show any change in expression, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "How could a grown man like me be threatened by a little girl like her?"
"I thought she was bluffing, so I texted her an address and told her to send someone over if she wanted to kill me."
"I didn't expect her to come here on her own. Why am I panicking?"
But when his eyes met Qi Tongwei's again, he saw Qi Tongwei's murderous eyes, which were full of anger and disgust.
The scammer suddenly shrank his body tighter, not daring to make any sound. He just lowered his head and waited for Qi Tongwei's further interrogation.
Qi Tongwei's heart was burning with anger. He knew that the fraudster had been trying to exonerate himself, but every word he said made Qi Tongwei more convinced of the despicable nature of this fraud gang.
He said coldly: "You think you are doing nothing wrong?"
"You cheated her out of her money, lured her to this place, and injected her with hallucinogens. You are absolutely despicable."
The fraudster didn't dare to refute. He could only whisper, "I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
"I was also forced by the boss. If I didn't do this, I would be in danger."
Qi Tongwei snorted coldly: "Being forced? Is this your reason for hurting innocent people? Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
The scammer shuddered with fear. He knew that no matter how he explained, he could not escape Qi Tongwei's punishment. He could only lower his head silently and wait for an unknown fate.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Meng Yao, who was still twitching from time to time, and the anger in his eyes was like a volcano about to erupt.
He suppressed his inner anger and asked in a low and cold voice: "So you injected her with hallucinogens?"
The scammer waved his hands repeatedly, his movements were very flustered.
“This is not me.”
"I saw she was here, so I told my boss. He said this person must be able to get money from behind the scenes, so he asked me to keep her and get her some medicine so that she can't leave us. Then we can use her and her family to get money."
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Qi Tongwei's expression, his eyes full of fear.
He continued, "My boss said that a girl with a family background like hers must be from a wealthy family who cares deeply about her safety."
"As long as we control her, we can squeeze money from her family continuously."
"We can first inject her with drugs to make her unable to resist, and then take some photos or videos to threaten her family."
"If her family doesn't do what we say, we will make these things public."
"My boss also said that we have done this kind of thing before, and those families would obey in order to protect their children's reputation."
"I also thought this plan was feasible at the time. After all, who can watch their loved ones suffer?"
He swallowed and continued, "I really didn't have money for ice, so I got some hallucinogens. I think the effect is similar."
"I thought as long as I could control her, it would be fine. I didn't think too much about it."
"I knew it wasn't right, but I was really obsessed with the money."
The scammer lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.
As Qi Tongwei listened to the scammer's words, the anger in his heart had reached its peak.
His fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
His body trembled slightly as he tried hard to suppress the urge to tear the swindler into pieces.
Finally, Qi Tongwei couldn't bear it anymore, he swung his arm and slapped the scammer hard.
The slap landed on the scammer's face, making a crisp sound.
The swindler's body was blown away and fell heavily to the ground.
Qi Tongwei also controlled the strength. If he had used all his strength, the scammer's head would have been separated from his neck by now.
Even so, the scammer's face swelled up instantly, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his ears were buzzing.
He lay on the ground, his eyes full of fear and confusion, as if he had not yet recovered from the sudden blow.
Qi Tongwei stood there, his eyes red. He gritted his teeth and said, "You scumbags, you will do anything for money."
"Have you ever thought about how much harm your actions will cause to others?"
His voice echoed through the room, full of anger and condemnation.
The scammer lay on the ground, not daring to respond.
Qi Tongwei had a gloomy face. He grabbed his collar and lifted him up from the ground like a chicken.
Just as the fraudster regained some consciousness, Qi Tongwei's cold voice rang out: "I guess you'll never figure out who you've offended in your stupid head."
Qi Tongwei's eyes were filled with endless anger and majesty. He slowly raised his other hand, pointed at Mengyao on the bed, and then said in a resounding voice: "Her, Xu Mengyao's, uncle is an important leader of the Xia Kingdom's special forces."
Every word was like a bombshell, exploding in the scammer's ears.
When the scammer heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
His eyes widened instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and the blood color on his face disappeared completely in an instant.
His body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, and his legs went weak. If Qi Tongwei hadn't held him by the collar, he would have probably collapsed to the ground.
His lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but he could only make some unclear sounds.
All kinds of terrible thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
He knew that the person he had provoked this time was not an ordinary person, but the leader of the special forces, someone a petty con man like him could not afford to offend.
Qi Tongwei's hands gradually tightened, strangling the fraudster's neck so that he could hardly breathe.
His eyes grew increasingly stern as he spoke word by word, "Not only will you suffer a fate worse than death, but all of you who participated in this fraud will not be able to escape. All of you must die."
The voice was deep and full of murderous intent, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop by several degrees.
The fraudster felt as if he had been targeted by the god of death, and his heart was filled with despair.
He began to struggle desperately, grabbing Qi Tongwei's hands in vain, trying to break free, but his strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Qi Tongwei.
His tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, and he kept begging for mercy: "I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"I don't know, please let me go."
"I can do anything to make up for my mistake, please..."
Qi Tongwei was not moved at all.
The anger in his heart had burned to the extreme, and he would never have the slightest mercy for these scammers who hurt innocent people.
He wanted to let these people know that if they broke the law, hurt innocent people, and especially if they provoked people related to the special forces, they would have to pay a heavy price.
Chen Ran watched this scene from the side, anger in his eyes, but he knew that what Qi Tongwei was doing was correct.
These scammers must be punished as their actions have seriously violated humanity and moral bottom line.
