Today, I just want to consult your opinion…” Seeing the young man nervously sipping water, Du Wei smiled, softening his tone: “I actually admire young people like you who have dreams. Having dreams is good, but you must abide by laws and discipline. Do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, sir, I’ve caused you trouble… I’ll be careful from now on, I’ll…” Zhou Yang slightly lifted his head, his eyes reddening again, his body trembling as he immediately stood up, snapping to attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, don’t stand—just sit. We’re just chatting. I know your original intentions were good…” Seeing the young man like a startled bird, Du Wei waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” Zhou Yang nodded, avoiding Du Wei’s gaze, sitting only on the edge of the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a female officer quietly brought over a stack of documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Wei took them and handed one to Zhou Yang: “These are reports of telecom fraud victims from last year to this year. Look—criminals exploit victims’ greed or desire to invest, using telecom channels to fraudulently gain profits through fake interest and dividends…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, I, Officer Du, we didn’t mean that—we…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, I understand. Real fraudsters wouldn’t dare openly set up a company right next to the Public Security Bureau. I heard when our officers came in, your door was even half-open?” Seeing Zhou Yang tense again, Du Wei shook his head and smiled, signaling him to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yang nodded, took the document, and stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From last year to now, nearly a thousand similar telecom fraud cases occur annually. Ordinary citizens have weak awareness of fraud and easily fall victim. So we thought—we need to use classic cases for publicity. Especially young people like you, in your early twenties, are easily misled by false promises and plunged into the abyss. Do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I understand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we’re asking your opinion—we want to use your ‘misunderstanding’ as one of our anti-fraud cases. We’ll launch a comprehensive, systematic anti-fraud campaign on the Public Security Bureau’s website and, among others, Beijing TV news media… Of course, we’ll blur your face…” Du Wei looked at Zhou Yang seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Officer Du, I… I…” Zhou Yang hesitated, then lifted his head as if making a decision: “Officer Du, to help more citizens understand the law, and to make more people recognize what fraud really is—I don’t want to be blurred. I want my misunderstanding to serve as a warning to others…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t want to be blurred?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!
