Chapter 243 It's obvious
Jiang Yanqiu and the others walked out of the Public Security Bureau. Tian Mi asked curiously, "Jiang Yanqiu, how did you find out they were in the same group?"
Jiang Yanqiu didn't answer her immediately, but urged: "According to her mood, hurry up and leave, we are already past the agreed time!"
"Oh my God!" Several people ran away at the same time.
They actually forgot to check the time. It's almost 3:30 in the afternoon and they are still a long way from the agreed location.
Jiang Yanqiu was thinking about Li Conghui while running. She always felt that he was weird. The purpose behind this incident might not be that simple. It seemed that it was not just a honey trap.
But Zeng Hua is truly a good guy! Looking at the helpless expressions on his companions' faces, you can tell that he must have done a lot of things like this.
Jiang Yanqiu never thought that she would meet these people again soon.
Several people rushed to the agreed location. The others were already impatient waiting, even the truck driver was waiting there.
Zhou Qianru was immediately displeased when she saw them, muttering loudly, "Hey, you guys, can you please have some sense of time? You're a full half hour late! You've made us all wait here like idiots. I really don't know what you were thinking. You're just like country people coming to the city, so curious about everything that you've even forgotten the time!"
"Qianqian," Zhou Xiujuan, who was standing by, turned pale when she heard this. She quickly interrupted Zhou Qianru.
Everyone was already a little dissatisfied with the few people who were late, and after Zhou Qianru said this, everyone was definitely even more dissatisfied with her.
However, Zhou Qianru didn't notice the change in her expression at all, and continued to chatter to herself: "I'm not wrong! What fun places are there in this shabby little city that can keep you wandering around for so long? And now, because you're late, we have to walk in the dark when we get back. There's no safety guarantee at all!"
Just as Zhou Xiujuan was about to speak again to stop her, Tian Cheng quickly spoke up, her face full of apology: "Aunt Zhou, I'm so sorry, it's all our fault. We kept everyone waiting for so long.
We went to a state-owned restaurant for lunch at noon, and who knew we'd run into someone scamming someone there? We witnessed the whole thing, and then the police called us in to take a statement, which delayed us quite a bit and made us arrive late.
When Zhou Xiujuan heard this, she immediately changed the subject and asked with concern, "Did you get scammed? Are you okay?"
She was indeed a little worried, but she wanted more to divert everyone's attention. Her niece was becoming more and more outrageous.
Tian Cheng quickly waved her hand and explained to Zhou Xiujuan, "Don't worry, Auntie. It's okay. That scammer has nothing to do with us. We just happened to be at the scene, and the police asked us to go over and cooperate with the investigation."
After hearing this, Zhou Xiujuan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
She grumbled worriedly, "That's good. There are so many scammers in this world these days that it's hard to guard against them. Especially young girls like you, you must be more careful when you go out and pay attention to your safety. There are so many human traffickers these days, and they specifically target young girls and children like you."
"Thank you, Auntie. We will pay attention to it."
……
The carport was empty on the return trip, and Zhou Xiujuan sat in it with everyone else.
Gu Qingqing and her friends bought several sacks of things and took them back. They put them in the car and used them as seats and as a place to lean on and rest. It was much more comfortable than squeezing in the cab.
In the car, Tian Mi was still very excited. She gesticulated and told the whole story in detail, as if she had really experienced a thrilling adventure.
Gu Qingqing and Qiao Lei, who were sitting next to her, listened quietly to Tian Mi's story and smiled at each other from time to time.
Seeing how excited Tian Mi was, the two of them had an idea in their minds. These people must have been so engrossed in watching the fun that they had forgotten the time, otherwise they would have sent someone to tell everyone first.
But to be honest, if they were in this situation, it probably wouldn't be much better.
It is quite rare to see a family team up to set up a honey trap for others.
The other party seized the helpful mentality of people in this era and cleverly took advantage of the relatively weak position of women in this era.
If they hadn't revealed so many flaws during their first crime and the amount of money involved was not so huge, I'm afraid they would have succeeded.
After Zeng Hua and his friends came out of the Public Security Bureau, they went to the state-owned restaurant to thank them for helping them report the incident to the police and obtaining compensation.
Several people carried things to distribute to the people in the state-owned restaurant, and the cashier got a separate portion.
The cashier didn't take all the credit. Instead, she said directly, "It was those girls who noticed something was wrong and asked me to call the police. If you want to express your gratitude, you should thank them, not me."
She was also curious and wanted to know how Jiang Yanqiu discovered that those people were in the same group.
It’s a pity that I never found a suitable opportunity to ask, and the person disappeared after leaving the Public Security Bureau.
Zeng Hua hurriedly asked, "Sister, I have to thank you. As for those comrades, do you know which farm they are from? I plan to go to their house in person to thank them in a few days."
The elder sister shook her head slightly and answered directly: "I don't know them. They are all new faces. They are all fair-skinned and tender-skinned. They are probably newly arrived educated youth."
Zeng Hua showed a little regret after hearing this, but she still said sincerely: "Thank you, sister. If you see them coming next time, please keep an eye out for us. They really helped us today, and I have to thank them very much."
After paying the compensation, several people slowly walked out of the state-owned hotel.
Zeng Hua showed a trace of self-blame on his face, and muttered quietly: "Am I really that easy to fool? I'm always the one targeted by the bad guys!"
Chu Tingnan, who was standing by, saw this scene and instead of comforting him, he added another stab: "Why do you even need to ask? Isn't it obvious?"
He originally thought that the other party just wanted to use the betrothal money to rely on Zeng Hua, but he didn't expect there would be such a big reversal.
Any bystander could see that there was a problem. Zeng Hua suffered so much loss when he went to the countryside and was still deceived. He couldn't blame others for being cheated.
But he couldn't figure out what Li Conghui's purpose was, but it definitely wasn't just for money.
Chu Tingnan couldn't figure it out, but he secretly made up his mind that he would never come to the city with Zeng Hua again, so as not to be implicated.
The other people's expressions were not much better either, but they did not have the confidence to treat Zeng Hua like Chu Tingnan did. They often took advantage of Chu Tingnan.
Zeng Hua suddenly felt very sad. He had done good things but ended up being a bad guy. He was about to say something, but Chu Tingnan and the others didn't give him a chance and just left.
