Chapter 1296 He really is a liar
Chapter 1296 He really is a liar
Huo Yanchen called the police with his phone: "There are scammers here. The address is in the coffee shop next to the military hospital."
Jiang Manman pulled Huo Yanchen: "What are you doing? How are you a liar?"
Yang Xiao was shocked that Huo Yanchen could see through his deception at a glance, and she panicked: "What did you say? Who's the liar? I'm a good person. I just talked to her for a few words. Is it really that big of a deal? Fine, I won't say anything more. I'm leaving."
Yang Xiao was about to leave, but how could Huo Yanchen let him go?
Trying to scam someone in front of him is too naive.
His rhetoric and his reactions made it immediately clear that he was a complete fraud.
Those surveys are just a one-person investigation, a typical "pig butchering scam".
If I misjudge this, all these years of my life will have been for nothing.
If you were a normal person, your first reaction would be to run away; you would definitely try to reason with him first.
This person didn't dare look him in the eye at all, and his expression was so guilty. What else could he be but a liar? Only someone as naive as Jiang Manman would believe him.
But there are too many cunning scammers and too many kind-hearted young girls in this world, and who knows how many people have been deceived.
"You want to leave? Did I give you permission?" Huo Yanchen stopped the person with one hand.
With his power unleashed, Yang Xiao was no match for Huo Yanchen.
"I'm really not a scammer, you've misunderstood. I just had your girlfriend fill out a questionnaire, I absolutely didn't mean anything by it, you can ask her if you don't believe me!"
Yang Xiao just wanted to leave. He never expected to run into Huo Yanchen's girlfriend. Wasn't this like kicking a hornet's nest?
He had heard of Huo Yanchen and his methods. If he fell into Huo Yanchen's hands, would he still be alive?
I had only heard of him before, but never met him. Who knew the rumors were true? Huo Yanchen is that terrifying; I could tell he was a fraud at a glance.
He now doubts who the liar is. Could this be a scam set up by Huo Yanchen, just waiting for him here to trick him into falling into it?
Jiang Manman hesitated now. Huo Yanchen wasn't the type to argue unreasonably; he suspected this man was a fraud. Could it be...?
Jiang Manman looked at Yang Xiao: "Since you don't think you're a liar, why don't you wait for the police to come? If you really aren't, we'll definitely apologize to you properly."
Jiang Manman definitely believes Huo Yanchen; Huo Yanchen must have his reasons for doing this.
Yang Xiao's eyes widened as he tried to break free, but he couldn't move at all under Huo Yanchen's control.
"I'm really not a liar. If you let me go now, I won't pursue this matter. Otherwise, if the police come, I'll sue you. Everyone, please be the judge. I just asked this girl to fill out a questionnaire for our company, and this guy immediately called me a liar. How am I a liar?"
There were other people in the coffee shop, and one of them said, "Is there some misunderstanding? This young man looks so young, he doesn't seem like a conman."
"I don't think so either. She's so good-looking and looks harmless. Could it be a mistake?"
Humans are visual creatures; when we don't know what kind of person someone is, we rely on intuition at first glance.
Yang Xiao is indeed good-looking, which can be misleading and make people think he is a nice young man.
But Huo Yanchen had seen this kind of trick many times before.
"Whether it is or not, we'll know when the police arrive."
Suddenly, no one wanted to leave; everyone was ready to stay and watch the show.
Anyway, they don't believe that someone who looks so good could be a scammer; he looks just like a college student.
While holding the man captive, Huo Yanchen was sending messages on his phone, and Jiang Manman had no idea who he was texting.
Is he really a fraudster?
Jiang Manman couldn't help but take a few more glances, but the boy did look quite well-behaved. You really couldn't tell at first glance. If he really was a conman, then you could only blame the conman for being too clever, not for her being too gullible.
Seeing that Huo Yanchen was serious, Yang Xiao panicked and took out his phone to send a message to his companion, but Huo Yanchen snatched it away as soon as he took it out.
"What are you doing!" he said angrily.
Huo Yanchen said, "I will return it to you when the police arrive."
Huo Yanchen deliberately made a scene not only to bring these swindlers to justice, but also to teach Jiang Manman a profound lesson, to let her know that strangers cannot be trusted, and that she should always be wary of strangers when she is out. Don't assume that someone is a good person just because they look good; bad people don't wear their badness on their faces.
While waiting for the police to arrive, Yang Xiao kept thinking about running away. If he didn't run now, when would he? It might be too late by the time the police arrived.
He had to go back and warn them, otherwise they might all be caught in one fell swoop.
"Even if I have to wait, I can always go to the restroom, right? Where is your restroom?" Yang Xiao had made sure that the coffee shop didn't have a restroom; the restroom was in the public restroom outside.
He would seize any opportunity to escape whenever he could get out.
"Hold it in, if you want to go, go to the police station later."
Huo Yanchen was sitting right there at the door; Yang Xiao had no chance of getting out.
Time passed second by second, and although it hadn't been long, Yang Xiao's face grew increasingly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
The police arrived shortly afterward.
"Who called the police?"
"Me," Huo Yanchen said.
Upon seeing Huo Yanchen, the policeman instinctively wiped the sweat from his forehead.
There's nothing I can do; they're all old acquaintances!
What kind of fate has I had with Huo Yanchen lately? I've seen him several times in less than a month!
"Wait a moment, let me call our director first."
It's best to report this to the bureau chief, since it involves Huo Yanchen.
Huo Yanchen didn't care; he could contact whomever he wanted.
He began by saying, "This person is a habitual fraudster. They mainly target women in 'pig butchering' scams, using surveys as an excuse to approach women and then tailor a series of fraud schemes based on these women's interests."
"You're talking nonsense! This is a legitimate questionnaire, how is it fraud? Policeman, he's framing me, I didn't do anything like that!"
"Don't worry, we'll find out soon whether it's a frame-up or not." Since Huo Yanchen has decided to take action, he's definitely going to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. He won't give these people a chance to harm others again.
"Let me take a look at the questionnaire first." The police officer began to look at the questionnaire, which did indeed contain a lot of personal information, especially details about personal hobbies.
Huo Yanchen had already had the surveillance footage retrieved. He said, "The footage shows that he had been watching Jiang Manman for quite some time. He chose his prey before making his move."
