Chapter 706: The Con Artist Gets Played

"Alright, thank you."

He sat into the car, only to discover a man sitting in the driver's seat, wearing sunglasses and possessing an extraordinary air.

"This gentleman..."

Liu Fengchao felt his heart drumming.

Based on his years of experience wandering the world, his intuition told him the man driving was no simple person; if he didn't make any money and ended up getting exposed and beaten instead, it wouldn't be worth it.

"He's the driver," Shi Youxuan said.

Sheng Hanyu glanced at his wife out of the corner of his eye, saying nothing.

Liu Fengchao felt relieved; since he was just a driver, there was nothing to worry about.

"Young lady, you're quite wealthy, aren't you? Even your driver has such an imposing air, tsk tsk!"

"Whichever man must have saved the galaxy in his past life to be blessed enough to marry you in this one..." The flattering words flowed like a surging river, continuous and unending.

Jiang Siwei was right; her husband really knew how to talk.

Even though she knew he was a con artist and that he said these things to trick people into buying his goods, it wasn't annoying at all.

Sheng Hanyu's expression looked much better.

Sheng Hanyu: "Miss, are we going home?"

"Going home" wasn't literally going home, but a secret code the two had agreed upon.

Shi Youxuan: "That's right, going home."

The plan remained unchanged.

Sheng Hanyu drove, and Jiang Siwei's husband chattered incessantly along the way: "Young lady, you are so beautiful, you must wear more jewelry to look even more radiant. No other jewelry is as good-looking as gold jewelry."

"Why don't you buy a few more sets of commemorative coins? You can have them made into many beautiful pieces of jewelry. If you wear a new set every day, the boys chasing you will surely line up in long queues... Ouch!"

Sheng Hanyu made a sharp turn, and not paying attention, he bumped his head against the door glass, hitting it painfully.

Shi Youxuan glared at Sheng Hanyu as if to reproach him: "How are you driving? Look, you've bumped him and caused him pain."

Sheng Hanyu: "He deserves it, I did it on purpose."

Liu Fengchao:...

He had already prepared himself for the driver to apologize, but he hadn't expected that not only would the driver not apologize, he would say something like that.

Fine, he would endure it.

He was very skilled at reading people and noticed something unusual from their interaction.

A young lady falling in love with her driver was nothing new in wealthy families.

So, he naturally jumped to the wrong conclusion and didn't think of anything else.

"Young lady, your driver is very handsome, he looks like a celebrity... Hey, why does he look a bit familiar?"

He felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't recall where for the moment.

Shi Youxuan brushed him off: "He has a common face; everyone thinks he looks familiar."

Sheng Hanyu:...

This face of his was called a common face?

When did the threshold for being common become so high?

"Swish—"

The car stopped.

Sheng Hanyu said coldly: "Get out, we've arrived."

He pushed the car door open and got out.

He helped Liu Fengchao open the door: "Please get out."

"Thank you."

He thanked him very politely, but after getting out, he realized... something was wrong!

Before him was a three-story blue and white building; it didn't look like a place where rich people lived.

And this place also looked a bit familiar; where had he seen it before?

When he saw the national emblem above, it suddenly dawned on him—wasn't this the police station?

Liu Fengchao turned to run.

A large hand, like iron pincers, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back: "Where are you going? Since you're already here, go inside and have a cup of tea before you leave."

Interrogation room.

Two police officers sat behind the interrogation table.

They began to question him.

"Name?"

"Liu Fengchao."

"Age?"

"Twenty-eight."

"Occupation?"

"Sales."

Police:...

At a time like this, he was still talking about sales?

"Bang!"

The interrogating officer slapped the table and said sternly: "Be honest, do you even know where this is? Give an honest confession."

"Yes, I'll confess."

Liu Fengchao stopped being glib and confessed everything honestly.

He had originally been working abroad, but he hadn't earned much money.

Things are different now than they used to be; working abroad is both exhausting and low-paying, so he returned to the country.

Going abroad cost a significant amount of money, yet the debts he had incurred remained unpaid when he returned.

His wife said her cousin was very wealthy, so they thought about working at her cousin's company to earn money.

But the cousin's company didn't hire people with low educational backgrounds, so he thought about borrowing the cousin's company's name to earn some spending money, which could also be considered riding on her coattails.

The reason he used the name "Tianma" was because Tianma primarily deals in finance.

Commemorative coins could be associated with finance, and with his silver tongue, they would surely sell well.

So he made a few sets of commemorative coins and went to the University City to peddle them while posing as a Tianma employee; he figured that since they were relatives, if she wouldn't let him work at her company, couldn't he at least borrow her name?

Is this a matter of "borrowing"?

Including the set sold to Nianyin, Liu Fengchao had already sold fifteen sets of commemorative coins in the University City over the past two days.

Ten thousand yuan per set, totaling one hundred and fifty thousand.

This already constitutes the crime of fraud with a massive amount involved, which by law carries a sentence of no less than three years and no more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment.

Upon hearing that he would be sentenced for so long, Liu Fengchao immediately panicked: "Officer, what you said is wrong, let me correct you; I did sell fifteen sets, but I have costs too, the profit isn't that high."

Police:...

In his twenty years on the job, this was the first time he had seen a suspect in an interrogation room bargaining with the police.

"Slap!"

"Behave yourself, don't use your glib tongue here, and look at where you are!"

Liu Fengchao: "Yes, yes, I won't be glib, but Officer, isn't it true that leniency is granted for confession? I answer whatever you ask, without any concealment, shouldn't I be treated with leniency?"

"How about this, do you think it's appropriate? All my commemorative coins can be confiscated, I'll pay a fine, write a self-criticism..." He stopped being glib and immediately switched to bargaining.

Still bargaining with the police.

He was immediately locked in a detention cell to await processing!

The Monitoring Room outside the interrogation room.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan saw the entire interrogation process, and the two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other perfectly.

Jiang Siwei received the notification and learned that her husband had been locked up in the police station; at a loss and weeping, she went to Shi Youxuan's house again to beg her.

But this time, she didn't even get into the residential complex.

The Security Guard at the complex had received instructions from the housekeeper not to let her in!

So she stayed at the entrance of the complex to wait.

She waited for three days in a row.

It rained this day, a torrential downpour as if it were being poured down from the sky.

Jiang Siwei was soaked through, yet she still guarded the main gate, refusing to leave.

Anxious and stressed, she hadn't eaten much for three days, and she collapsed limply in the rain, fainting.

The Security Guard hurriedly carried her into the security office and called the Sheng Family.

The housekeeper hung up the phone and reported to Shi Youxuan: "Madam, Miss Jiang has fainted at the entrance of the complex."

"Bring her into the house."

"Very well."

Jiang Siwei had woken up.

She was holding a cup of hot water, drinking it in small sips; seeing Shi Youxuan approach, she hurriedly placed the cup on the table and prepared to kneel.

"If you have something to say, say it; if you're going to do that, then leave my house."

Jiang Siwei didn't dare to kneel, but tears like broken beads kept sliding down her cheeks.

"Cousin, I beg you to let A Chao go, we were wrong, we really know we were wrong, he has never suffered before, he won't be able to handle life in Prison..."

In fact, Liu Fengchao was currently only in a detention cell.

He hadn't even entered the detention center, let alone Prison.

But Jiang Siwei didn't know this; she only knew her husband had been locked up, and her world had collapsed!
