Protagonist:

Lin Hao

In Yuan Yong's eyes, Lin Hao was nothing but a green, wet-behind-the-ears kid; how much money could he possibly have? He felt that dealing with a child like this was purely a waste of time.

However, after Lin Hao successfully took over the Restaurant, the situation underwent a massive change. Yuan Yong took the initiative to seek out Lin Hao. After all, this Restaurant still held considerable value, and Li Dahai and his wife certainly wouldn't be returning anytime soon. This let Yuan Yong see an opening to exploit.

Yuan Yong arrived before Lin Hao with a face full of ingratiating smiles, his eyes flashing with calculating light, and said: "Young man, didn't expect you to be quite capable, managing this Restaurant so well."

Lin Hao looked at Yuan Yong expressionlessly and said: "What do you want with me? Speak directly."

Yuan Yong rubbed his hands together, the smile on his face growing even more radiant, and said: "Hehe, nothing major. Just wanted to ask if you're interested in doing an investment together? Let me tell you, this is a prime opportunity, guaranteed to make you big money. As long as you follow my lead, eating well and living large will be no problem in the future."

Lin Hao sneered inwardly, but said casually: "What investment is that good?"

Then, Yuan Yong launched into a bout of wildly exaggerated sweet-talking.

He gesticulated wildly, like a passionate orator, speaking fluently and incessantly, painting that so-called beautiful investment prospect for Lin Hao.

"Young man, look here, this investment project is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you put your money in, the returns will absolutely exceed your imagination. Before long, those profits will snowball bigger and bigger. By then, you'll be a true tycoon — buy whatever you want, go wherever you want to play. Just think, how comfortable would those days be?" Yuan Yong spoke with flying colors, greed glinting in his eyes.

On the surface, Lin Hao played along, feigning attraction to his words. "Really? Sounds pretty good. But is this investment really as good as you say? I'm still a bit uneasy." Lin Hao deliberately wore an excited yet hesitant expression.

Yuan Yong hurriedly slapped his chest in guarantee: "Rest assured, young man. Would I still cheat you? I haven't been in this Base for just a day or two; everyone knows my character. This investment project is absolutely reliable, a sure win with no losses."

In truth, Yuan Yong's scam methods were quite crude.

If it were a few years later, people's vigilance would have risen, and basically no one would fall for it. But Yuan Yong was, after all, one of the Base's own people, and many held a natural trust in him. That was why in the original plot, Yuan Yong managed to succeed.

Lin Hao did not naturally agree to Yuan Yong's investment proposal, but neither did he flatly refuse. He had his own schemes in mind. "I need to think this over a bit more; after all, it's not a small sum. I still have to discuss it with Li Shu." Lin Hao said.

Hearing this, Yuan Yong hastily said: "Don't bother your Li Shu, he's bothered enough as it is. Could I still cheat you? This opportunity is rare; you must seize it tight. If you miss this chance, don't regret it later."

Lin Hao nodded, but in his heart he was thinking of gathering more evidence, then striving to send Yuan Yong inside. He knew he couldn't let Yuan Yong continue doing evil; he had to secure justice for the Yuan Family Sisters and those who might be cheated by him.

"What exactly does your project do? I still don't quite understand." Lin Hao asked, feigning curiosity.

Yuan Yong began introducing his so-called investment project at length again, while Lin Hao listened on one hand and secretly noted down key information on the other, preparing it as evidence for later.

Over the next few days, Yuan Yong frequented the Restaurant to eat almost like a regular patron.

Every time he appeared, a crowd of people always trailed behind him; those people surrounded Yuan Yong, faces plastered with ingratiating smiles.

Listening to their chat content, there was no doubt they were all people Yuan Yong had sweet-talked into preparing to invest.

They seemed to deeply believe the beautiful prospects Yuan Yong painted, their words full of expectation and excitement.

Once, after Yuan Yong and his group of "partners" ate a hearty meal at the Restaurant, Yuan Yong actually brazenly wanted to put the meal on a tab.

Seeing this, Lin Hao felt a surge of disgust, but on the surface he pushed back neither softly nor hard.

Lin Hao slightly raised his chin, a trace of hard-to-detect mockery in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan, look at you now doing such big business — still short on this bit of meal money? My small business can't withstand tabs. If everyone were like you, my Restaurant couldn't stay open."

Yuan Yong's complexion changed slightly in an instant; he clearly hadn't expected Lin Hao to refuse him so directly.

A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes, but it was quickly forcibly suppressed, replaced by a full-faced smiling appearance.

"Haha, you kid, quite serious. Fine, then I won't tab it. It's just a meal's money; I, Yuan Yong, wouldn't stoop to welching on a debt."

Looking at Yuan Yong's hypocritical smile, Lin Hao's resolve to gather evidence and send him inside grew even more determined.

Lin Hao mused inwardly: "Yuan Yong, your good days won't last much longer."

Recently, Lin Hao always felt something was off.

Several times on the street he saw Yuan Yong hurrying toward the Bank's direction; this day, Lin Hao once again saw Yuan Yong's figure heading toward the Bank.

He decided to quietly follow and see what was what.

Lin Hao carefully tailed behind Yuan Yong, only to see Yuan Yong walk into the Bank with practiced ease; after a good while, Yuan Yong came out of the Bank, an extra bag in his hand — unknown where it came from — his expression extremely flustered, looking left and right, as if worried about something.

Just then, a breeze blew by, and a sheet of paper fluttered down from Yuan Yong's hand.

After Yuan Yong left, Lin Hao hurried over and picked it up; looking closely, it was actually a withdrawal receipt.

Lin Hao picked up the withdrawal receipt, brows tightly knit, and thought to himself: "Looks like Yuan Yong is preparing to run."

Lin Hao returned home, then began systematically organizing the evidence he had gathered recently.

Lin Hao carefully categorized and organized these pieces of evidence, placing them into a folder. He stood up, checked the evidence once more for any omissions, then strode out the door, heading toward the Police Station.
