Jiang Chen patiently explained it to his grandfather.

He spent an entire night setting up all the tablets to "senior mode".

With the font size set to maximum, only the most frequently used icons were retained: WeChat, Douyin (TikTok), a collection of traditional Chinese operas, and a Dou Dizhu (a card game).

"Come here, sir, look."

Jiang Chen held his grandfather's somewhat stiff hand and pointed to the WeChat icon on the screen.

"If you want to talk to someone, just tap the green box with your finger."

Grandpa imitated Jiang Chen, tapping around on the screen. When he successfully opened "Complete Collection of Chinese Opera" and his favorite opera, "Mu Guiying Takes Command," played, the old man's eyes lit up with excitement!

However, just as the atmosphere was peaceful, a cry of surprise, accompanied by a flurry of activity, came from the corner.

The most popular attraction in the entire event center quickly became apparent.

It wasn't that huge TV, nor that comfortable massage chair.

Instead, there were four fully automatic intelligent mahjong machines placed in the center!

In the past, when the elderly played cards, their eyesight was poor, their hands trembled when stacking the cards, and they were even more confused about the accounts. They often argued heatedly over winning or losing a dollar or two.

Now, everything has changed.

"Splash—"

With a crisp shuffling sound, a neat set of mahjong tiles automatically rose from the center of the table.

"Come on, let's get started!"

The third uncle rubbed his hands excitedly and was the first to sit down at the card table.

The process of playing cards is also full of technological elements.

"bump!"

"eat!"

"Damn it!"

Whenever someone operates the mahjong machine, it will emit a clear voice announcement.

When it was the third uncle's turn to draw a card, he closed his eyes, grabbed a card from the pile, flipped it over, and pushed it to the middle of the table!

"Hey! Self-draw! Pure suit!"

He hadn't even had a chance to calculate how much money he'd won.

The emotionless yet incredibly pleasant electronic female voice of the mahjong machine had already resounded throughout the entire venue.

"Ding! A perfect hand! Total of 88 points! Settlement successful!"

While the voice broadcast is playing, a small screen above the desktop clearly displays each person's win or loss score, making it easy to see at a glance.

Now, nobody can renege on their debt!

The arguing ceased completely in the side hall of the ancestral hall.

Instead, there were electronic voices playing "eat, bump, go, listen" and the heartfelt, energetic laughter of the elderly.

The atmosphere is even more exciting than during Chinese New Year!

Jiang Chen stood at the door, looking at the lively and harmonious scene before him, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He raised his wrist and looked at the smart bracelet on it, the same one worn by the elderly.

The bracelet's screen not only displays the time but also monitors his heart rate and blood pressure in real time.

More importantly, through an app, he can check the health data of every elderly person in the village who wears a bracelet at any time.

His phone will immediately receive a top-priority alert if anything unusual happens.

"Feed? Is it...is it Jiang Fugui's house?"

At the senior activity center, an elderly man was lying on a massage chair, enjoying a professional Thai massage while watching funny short videos on his newly bought tablet. He was so happy that his dentures almost flew out.

Just then, his personal cell phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number from out of town.

The old man didn't think much of it and just took it.

"Yes, I am Jiang Fugui. And who are you?"

On the other end of the phone came the voice of a young man, his voice trembling with tears and sounding extremely anxious.

"Dad! It's me! It's your son, Xiaojun!"

The old man was taken aback. His son, Jiang Jun, was working in another city. This voice didn't sound quite right.

Before he could even ask a question.

The voice on the other end of the phone became even more stern!

"Dad! I...I was in a car accident! I hit someone! I'm in the hospital now, and they won't let me leave. They want me to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation! Otherwise, they'll break my legs!"

"What?!"

The old man sprang up from the massage chair with a "whoosh"!

He's been an honest, simple farmer his whole life; he's never experienced anything like this before!

Upon hearing the words "car accident" and "broken leg," the three GERs were instantly stunned, their faces turned pale, and their hands and feet went cold.

"Xiao...Xiao Jun? Don't panic! Which hospital are you in? Dad will send you money right away!"

He was completely captivated by the tense atmosphere created by the other party, and had no time to think about the flaws in it.

"Dad! Don't ask! I can't say anything right now! Quickly transfer the money to this account number, it's...it's the hospital director's account! Hurry! It'll be too late if you wait!"

The scammer on the other end of the phone, seeing that he was about to succeed, became even more urgent in his tone.

Just as the old man was trembling, preparing to look through his savings book...

A young, strong hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.

"Grandpa, don't worry, give me the phone."

A gentle and steady voice sounded in his ear.

When the old man turned around, he saw one of the two "waiters" that Jiang Chen had specially hired from the county university, a college student named Xiao Li.

With a reassuring smile, Xiao Li took the phone from his third uncle, which was still ringing with "Dad! Hurry up!"

"Hello, who is this?"

Xiao Li's voice was as calm as an autumn pool.

The scammer on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, his script interrupted.

"Who are you? Let Jiang Fugui answer the phone!"

Xiao Li pushed up his glasses, a professional smile curving his lips, and said in a very fast voice:

"According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who defrauds public or private property of a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance. The 200,000 yuan you just mentioned is considered a huge amount, and the minimum sentence is three to ten years."

"At the same time, we have located your approximate location in northern Myanmar using base station positioning, and we have also transmitted the call recording to the Jiangning County Anti-Fraud Center in real time. I advise you to hang up the phone immediately and stop your illegal activities."

A few seconds later, a furious outburst of curses came from the other end of the phone, and then the call was abruptly cut off.

The elderly people who were just worried for the old man in the activity center were now dumbfounded.

"This...this is solved?"

"My goodness! This young man is incredibly quick-witted!"

The old man finally came to his senses and quickly called his son to make sure he was working properly at the construction site. He then breathed a long sigh of relief, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Jiang Chen came out from the inner room; he had just watched the whole thing on the surveillance camera.

He knew that once the hardware problem was solved, the hidden dangers in the software also had to be eradicated immediately!

"Dear elders and aunties!"

Jiang Chen clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Everyone saw what happened just now. We're rich now, and our lives are better, but bad guys are also targeting us."

"Relying on just Xiao Li and his two friends, it's impossible to prevent all scams. Today, I'm going to give you all a memorable practical lesson in anti-fraud!"

Jiang Chen didn't engage in any tedious lecturing; instead, he directly pushed Wang Dagou to the forefront.

"Come on, Da Gou, you play the conman and give us a demonstration of how they scam people!"

Wang Dagou's eyes lit up when he heard this!

He's an expert at this job!

Oh no, I mean this role, he's absolutely playing himself!

Wang Dagou cleared his throat, and the honest-looking man from a moment ago suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

His eyes turned slick, a faint wicked smile playing on his lips. He took out his phone and dialed Fifth Grandmother's number.

"Feed? Is it...is it Wang Cuihua, my dear sister?"

Wang Dagou pinched his throat and imitated the tone of a middle-aged woman.

"Oh my! It's your long-lost classmate! Don't you remember me? We used to play jump rope together at the village entrance!"

This lifelike performance completely baffled Fifth Grandma.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Dagou played two roles, sometimes as a "miracle doctor," sometimes as a "government official," and sometimes as a "customer service representative at the lottery center."

He performed classic scams like "buy health products and get free eggs," "invest in wealth management and get high returns," and "get a free mobile phone, just pay for shipping" with remarkable skill.

This made the elderly people in the audience burst into laughter.

But amidst the bursts of laughter, the scams that they had once believed so deeply were completely exposed as ridiculous and laughable.

In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the awareness of fraud prevention was deeply ingrained in the minds of every elderly person.

Theory alone is not enough.

Jiang Chen then instructed two college students, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang, to install the official "National Anti-Fraud Center" app on the mobile phones of all the elderly people in the village, and to enable the highest level of harassment blocking and risk warning.

From then on.

On the blacklist of swindlers, a new place name has been added that strikes fear into their hearts—Jiangjia Village.

This village is poisonous!

When you call, you're either left speechless by college students refuting your claims with legal jargon, or you're teased like a fool by a group of laughing old men and women.

There were even highly skilled scammers who attempted to use virus links to attack, only to have their IP addresses directly traced and sent to the police station.

Jiangjia Village has become a "no-fly zone" for the fraud industry.
