Chapter 156: The Inner Journey of a Mianbei Big Brother

Early morning, an overcast day with rain, everyone sat inside the office.

Normal people on rainy days can comfortably enjoy their sleeping time, but forensic doctors have to get up early on rainy days, so they can respond to sudden cases.

Unusually, Chen Fan did not leave his room, but held a few phones, making calls inside the room.

A girl's laughter came through the phone, and Chen Fan chatted happily with the other party.

"Mm-hmm, yes, yes, indeed, money is actually pretty easy to make in the country, no problem, I'll invest in your project on my end, but since we're in the same line of work, I'll give you a bit, seeing as you poor things only made this much."

'What, my voice sounds nice? Nonsense, Miss, your voice is the nice one, okay? If you came to our office, I'd have to pay you thirty thousand a month.'

The cameraman filmed from the side, his face full of sighs — no way, big brother, what on earth are you doing.

At this moment, Zhang Xinyu pushed the door open, walked in, and said: "Seeing you didn't go eat breakfast, I hurried over to bring you something to eat."

Chen Fan, wearing baggy boxer shorts, said: "I'm off today, Li Tian gave me a new assignment on this side."

"What assignment?"

"To scam people."

?????

Zhang Xinyu struggled to organize her brain cells, and said: "Um, I react kind of slow, can you say it a bit slower? I didn't quite get it."

Chen Fan pulled Zhang Xinyu to sit across from him, held her hand and said: 'I'm the kind of person who likes chatting with scammers, and after chatting so much, I picked up a bit of this skill, and then, you know, Li Tian said I could give it a try. I was thinking about how to scam that group of Mianbei scammers back.'

????

"You mean, you're going to scam that group of scammers."

'Yeah, I got the order, so I'm not breaking the law, and besides, I think it's pretty fun, got a problem?'

"No, no problem, um, I'll step out first."

"Stay, I'm alone here too, it's boring, it's raining today, nothing going on, no rush, no rush, stay."

"Um, that wouldn't be appropriate."

"It's fine, it's fine, small thing."

"Um, um, you're wearing too little."

"Small thing, I'll put on a bit more."

After saying that, he took a towel and draped it over his underwear.

Mm, perfect, see how city-smart I am — said I'd put on one more piece, so I really did put on one more piece.

Zhang Xinyu held back her laughter and said: "Alright then, you've given me so much face."

"What do you say then."

At this moment, the phone rang, Chen Fan picked it up and said: "Hello."

"Hello, you're trying to poach people from our shop?"

"Fellow traveler, huh? What, you're a cop, right? You must have dialed too fast."

"I suspect you're the cop."

"Nonsense, my Mandarin is so standard, how could I possibly be one? Your local dialect over there is way too heavy, honestly your training level is terrible."

"Brother, got any ideas?"

Chen Fan coughed once and started spouting nonsense.

When this skill activates, anything Chen Fan says is very easy for people to believe, and many people are also very willing to voluntarily pull out money and invest.

The other party listened in a daze and said: "It's this easy to make money in the country?"

"Look down on you guys, dragging people into investing, doing so-called illegal projects — please, we're all legitimate projects, okay? Now with live-stream sales, the streamers under me, how many of them, their assets shot up. You think I'm just shooting the breeze with you?"

"Huh, live-stream sales make more money than our scamming?"

"It always did, I told you — cost is two bucks, I sell it to people for over two hundred, and I still have to hold back tears while making money. And besides, my 'family,' they're really willing to invest in me."

"How do you actually pull it off?"

"Simple, just put on a show in the live stream, act with my people. Say, for example, I want to drop the price on my end, and the people in the stream stop me every way they can, grabbing me, not letting me give it away that cheap — see, isn't that a conflict right there? Then after that, the audience loves pulling out their money. My name is Chen Fan, look me up, check my history — I'm even live-streaming forensic work right now, while I'm on the phone with you."

"Holy crap, you're live-streaming? Forensic doctor, you're a cop."

"I'm a celebrity, and also a cop, and besides, live-stream sales aren't illegal, lots of people are doing it now, I'm not breaking any law."

Absurd?

Very absurd, actually Chen Fan himself felt this system was pure nonsense, no one would believe this stuff.

But the other party's tone didn't sound like a lie — clearly they really believed it.

"Wait for me, let me pack up on my end, I'll go back and develop this too."

"No problem, consider it fate. When you make it big, remember to treat me to a meal. On my end, I'm going live first."

The other party hung up.

As for whether they actually come or not, that's for the audience to guess about.

At this point, after throwing on his clothes, Zhang Xinyu directly gave Chen Fan a thumbs-up and said: "They all say you're good with words, this is my first time seeing it, really impressive."

"Just talking nonsense, we can't mess around, this kind of money we can't make, right?"

"Mm, after all we're public figures, can't make this kind of money."

The cameraman nodded in relief — big brother, you finally said something a normal person would say. If you kept talking like that, I was genuinely worried the show would get cancelled one day and I'd lose my job.

And at this moment, Chen Fan's phone rang.

"Ding, Alipay received 1,000,000 yuan."

"Ding, Alipay received 1,000,000 yuan."

"Ding, Alipay received…"

Chen Fan looked at his phone and said: "Um, if I said this money was transferred by mistake, would you believe me?"

Zhang Xinyu held back her laughter and said: "Um, should I believe it or not?"

"I think you should believe it."

Chen Fan clicked his tongue.

Zhang Xinyu said, "Oh right, a lot of people say you can know the secrets in other people's hearts. Take a look at me—do you know my secret?"

Chen Fan stared at Zhang Xinyu, looked into her heart, and instantly fell into a state of self-imposed isolation.

"Um, are you hungry? Want to go out and eat first?"

"I've already eaten."

"You go out first, go out first, really, go out first."

Zhang Xinyu was a little curious, but she was still pushed out by Chen Fan.

"Way too scary, this inner world, way too scary—she actually thinks I'm delicious. What the hell, a cannibal?"

On a new day, everyone sat in the livestream room. Teacher He said here, "Let me give an update. Among these newcomers, the one currently in the lead is Qu Yiling, and Chen Ti is at the bottom."

Liu Yan said, "I thought the first place would be Xiang Qinqin."

"Not Xiang Qinqin. Although she got a lot of points earlier, her professional knowledge in the later part was lacking by quite a bit."

Qin Ming explained from his side.

At this moment the lawyer reported a matter, saying, "Yesterday's case has already been investigated. The audience is curious about that swollen person, right? That was a man who had a fatal fall. His family reported it to the police, and he was later discovered by a Dengshan climber. When he died, he was floating in a pool of water."

"Suicide?"

"Yes, suicide. He fell from a high altitude, his head smashed directly onto the water's surface, and he died from the impact. This actually resolves a lot of people's curiosity—if you fall straight down from the sky, will you die from the impact? The answer is yes."

Sister Jing Tian said, "Uh, there are still people arguing with me online, I really can't figure it out. Yesterday I was looking at some materials, arguing with people, and the argument dragged on until midnight."

"Ah, arguing about what?"

"The other person asked me about the matter of falling from a high altitude onto the sea surface. I couldn't hold back, looked through a lot of materials, and only then got the result."

"The result was, the other person didn't believe it at all."
