Even if it went to court, you might not have to pay so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said calmly, \"Alright, make the transfer quickly. I still have things to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man quickly took out his phone, ready to report the account number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman beside him frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man isn’t stupid, so why would he pay so much at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled the bald man aside and whispered, \"Husband, I feel like there’s something wrong with this guy; we shouldn’t take this money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man frowned as well, feeling a bit suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, everything was going too smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, it’s a million dollars, how could he not be tempted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yang Xiaozhi couldn’t hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why give them money? These people are clearly scammers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"Even if these people are scammers, there’s nothing we can do. They have video evidence, and you don’t have witnesses, so just accept the bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi saw Ye Chen wink at her, realizing he had a plan to deal with these people, and quickly cooperated in the act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaozhi was originally an actress, so acting was naturally her specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shyly grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and said, \"Honey, you’re so kind. I’ll never meddle again when I see an old lady fall to the ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was acting, calling him honey made Yang Xiaozhi’s face turn red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so Ye Chen couldn’t see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen cooperated perfectly too, affectionately patting her head and smiling, \"Okay, good girl, isn’t it just a million dollars? Consider it feeding the dogs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man saw this and didn’t notice any flaws, so he reported the account number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen directly transferred the money to the man’s account. The man’s face showed joy as the million dollars arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the woman wanted to say something, a million dollars was indeed a huge sum for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the money arrived, the man smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd around them secretly shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This young man is really too naive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, the more you look, the more these people seem like scammers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just heard them talking; it seems they’re all from the same family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the four people showing happy expressions, even a fool could tell they were in cahoots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sneered, \"So? Did the money arrive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man nodded excitedly, \"Yes, it’s here. I’ve received it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"But if this million was really because my girlfriend hit the old lady, we could consider it medical expenses. But if you guys extorted us, a million dollars would likely get you a life sentence in prison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man was stunned upon hearing Ye Chen’s words and then sneered, \"Of course it was your girlfriend who hit my mother. Do you have evidence for the scam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the bald man had the money, he just wanted to get out quickly and celebrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled faintly, \"In fact, you might not have noticed, but there’s a camera over there. Everything here would have been captured on tape. Whether it’s a scam or not, the police can check the footage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces changed upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had checked; there were no cameras around when they started the scam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only now that they noticed the camera at the opposite supermarket was indeed facing their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, they were feeling so smug, but their expressions suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman couldn’t help but say, \"It’s all your fault, being greedy. I told you we shouldn’t take the money, but you insisted. Now what are we going to do if we end up in prison? What about our kid? You’ve trapped me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the woman call the man ’husband,’ there was an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, so they really are a family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turns out they’re scammers. We can’t let them go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s too despicable. I’ve already called the police; they must be caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This young man even gave them a million. Too rash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, the bald man’s face turned utterly grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the woman called him ’husband,’ everything was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the woman didn’t care about anything else, dropping to her knees in front of Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mister, we were wrong. We’re scammers. Please forgive us, we’ll return the million immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return my ass, are you crazy? It’s a million!\" The old man couldn’t hold back any longer and yelled angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady on the ground suddenly no longer felt any pain in her leg and stood up: \"You stupid woman, scared so easily. Why shouldn’t we take a free million from this guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, everything was completely exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was now shaking in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had kids; what would happen to them if she went to jail?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, we’ll return the money to you. Just spare us,\" the woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man, unable to contain his anger, slapped the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stupid woman, our family finally hit the jackpot, and you can’t stand to see me earn money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting hit, the woman couldn’t help but cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve told you we shouldn’t do such heartless things, but you guys insisted on scamming, for a million! This is a serious crime. If we go to jail, what about our kids?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has to be said that at least this woman had some sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just a thousand or two, they might only be detained for a few days. But a million?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, everyone understood why this young guy transferred a million to them in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone felt satisfied, knowing that people like them, who have destroyed the social ethos of helping others, deserved no less than a life sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, who knows how many people this family has scammed. I feel life imprisonment is too light; they should be executed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, in the future, we might fall and not be helped because of people like them. Serves them right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t let them go; we have to call the police and get them caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the crowd fully realized what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man, now afraid, hurriedly said, \"Young man, show some mercy. We’ll return the money; just let us go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen coldly laughed, \"Show mercy? Did you think about mercy when you harmed others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awhile ago, an old lady fell, and because no one dared help her, she died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this situation was because of too many scammers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, these people deserved to be dealt with and got what they deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sound of sirens could be heard from afar; the police had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the sirens, the man’s face turned even more unsightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady’s legs gave way, and this time she really collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-03T08:12:50.638Z","2026-06-03T08:12:53.523Z",1,"novelbin.me","6e46cc47f9f1e32dc45687659f6b1810c5c3d74174aae3097614705313815ad2","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-530","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-528",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
