After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and
Chapter 32 "The Scam" is Exposed
When this group of gangsters heard that the police wanted to check their ID cards, they immediately panicked.
Liu Zhigang, who was not far away, started frantically giving them signals, indicating that they should ignore it and run away!
The police officer clearly saw through the other person's motives at a glance, blocked their path first, and then pointed to the camera on his shoulder, saying, "Trying to run?"
"See that? All of you are recorded on the body cameras!"
"Even if you don't cooperate with the police and don't provide your ID, we'll still be able to find out when we get back!"
"However, the nature of things will be different then!"
The leader was sweating profusely, unsure whether to leave or stay, his mind in turmoil, unable to make up his mind.
But one of his underlings couldn't take it anymore and stepped forward to say:
"Brother, you'd better explain things to the police right away!"
"We brothers are just taking advantage of the free time during the New Year to do some odd jobs and earn some extra money. We can't let a few hundred yuan end up with a criminal record!"
"Besides, we were paid daily for the work, and we didn't sign any contracts of servitude. Now that the wages have been settled, the rest is none of our business, right?"
Upon hearing this, the leader regained his senses, wiped the sweat from his brow, and no longer cared about anything else.
"Officers, you've misunderstood!"
"We brothers are not actually debt collectors; we are just extras in the provincial capital."
"It's perfect timing to go home for the Chinese New Year; I've got nothing else to do anyway."
"We heard that someone in Xiahe Village was willing to pay three times the daily wage, six hundred yuan per person per day, and they needed to find ten people to play the role of thugs who come to collect debts, so we took the job."
"This six thousand yuan isn't just anything! It's overtime pay for the ten of us brothers working overtime during the Lunar New Year!"
"The person who approached us for cooperation was none other than Liu Zhigang!"
The reversal happened so fast that not only did the police not believe it, but even the neighbors who were watching were incredulous!
"Really?"
"Liu Zhigang actually hired ten actors to come to my house to collect debts, and they asked for 800,000 yuan right off the bat?"
"I just don't believe it. There's always a reason for doing things, right? What's Liu Zhigang trying to gain by doing this?"
The neighbors who were watching were talking amongst themselves, and every word they said reached the ears of the person involved.
When the gang leader saw that no one believed him, he started to get anxious and quickly pulled out important evidence from the inside pocket of his down jacket.
"Officer, I'm telling the truth. You can investigate if you don't believe me!"
As he spoke, the older brother pulled out his ID card, actor's certificate, and the "Actor Cooperation Agreement" that both parties had signed before he came, providing complete evidence.
When Liu Zhigang realized that his scheme had been exposed, his face turned deathly pale.
After a moment's pause, and realizing what had happened, she immediately rushed over, yelling, "What kind of lousy actors are you? You have absolutely no professional ethics!"
"You promised to help me put on an act, but you betrayed me in public! Are you trying to get me killed?"
"Since that's the case, give me back the money! Hurry up and return all six thousand yuan to me!"
Upon seeing this, the gang leader immediately put away his identification and started running away.
Don't run away, and don't yell at Liu Zhigang, "Just tell me, were we a good actor? Did we fool everyone?"
"You were the one who told us to pay the bill and leave first! There was no confidentiality clause in the contract."
"We are law-abiding citizens; cooperating with the police is our duty!"
Liu Zhigang watched helplessly as the other party walked away, realizing he had lost more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken.
"You bastard!"
Liu Defu raised his hand and slapped her across the face, his temple throbbing with anger. "How dare you try to scam your parents with such despicable tricks!"
"You're asking for 800,000 right off the bat? What are you trying to do?"
Although Tian Xiuhua was angry, she breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her son's claim of 800,000 yuan in debt was false.
Seeing Liu Defu brutally beat his most beloved youngest son, he was even more furious and stepped forward to protect him fiercely.
"Liu Defu! You dare to hit my son again?"
"I'll risk my old life for you!"
Seeing this, Liu Zhifang, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to mediate, fearing that her parents would really start fighting.
Liu Defu, enraged, raised his hand to the back of his head, his chest heaving, and glared at Liu Zhigang, demanding:
"You little bastard! You're asking for 800,000 right off the bat, trying to swindle the whole family's fortune in one go. What are you trying to do?"
Liu Zhigang not only miscalculated, but also received two hard slaps from his own father, so he simply gave up and went all out!
"That money was originally meant for my wedding house, what do you think I'd do with it?"
"Baozhu and I are getting married with a child, but you two demanded a dowry and then broke your promise on the first day of the lunar new year, leaving me with nothing!"
"We originally agreed that the 800,000 yuan would be saved for me to buy a house and get married, but it hasn't been fulfilled yet. Now Liu Zhifang has come back and is making a scene, demanding that her name be added to the deed and that she buy a house in the provincial capital!"
"My older brother has already returned to Beijing. Because of this matter, he said he'll come back in a few days. What can I do?"
"Normally when they're not busy, they all stay home, even during the Lunar New Year!"
"When it's time to divide the money, one or two people come back in a flash! Work isn't so busy anymore, and we have more free time!"
"Instead of doing that, I'd rather take this 800,000 yuan and become a live-in son-in-law at Baozhu's house—that would be much more comfortable!"
