Chapter 2245 - 2148: Ridiculous
As for this pregnant woman, she didn’t pay her any mind at all.
Because she didn’t think there was anything to fear from this woman, just a pregnant woman, nothing threatening. As for the woman named Yingzi, she is indeed skilled in martial arts, but now she needed to control that man and couldn’t spare herself to deal with her. With the conditions of time and place in her favor, she had plenty of time and opportunity to escape.
The woman’s eyes rolled swiftly, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up as she instinctively laughed:
"I really must thank you, Madam, for enlightening me. So this pendant is so valuable. In that case, much obliged!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman turned and squeezed into the crowd, running swiftly across the street.
The onlookers were stunned after hearing Huo Sining mention the value of those earrings and the pendant, even the man was astonished, so no one expected that the beautiful woman would escape at this moment.
It was only after the woman ran more than ten meters that the crowd reacted:
"Why did that woman run?"
"Oh my, it turns out this woman is also a fraudster!"
"That’s hundreds of thousands, and this woman just took it and ran off like that?"
"Quick, chase her!"
"..."
The onlookers all shouted to chase after her, but the next second, everyone was dumbfounded.
Just as the woman reached the other side of the street, a few police officers suddenly emerged from the road there and caught the beautiful woman red-handed.
The woman was so focused on figuring out how to avoid those chasing her that she completely didn’t expect an ambush ahead and was caught by the police.
After capturing her, the police searched the woman and found the pendant and earrings, as well as more than a thousand RMB taken from Su Anning previously, and headed straight toward Huo Sining.
Upon seeing Huo Sining, Guo Dongliang, who was walking in front, smiled obsequiously, "Miss Huo, we’ve caught the person. How would you like to proceed?"
Huo Sining glanced indifferently at the woman, who looked resentful and unwilling, took the items from Guo Dongliang’s hand, and stuffed them back into Su Anning’s arms, then said calmly:
"These fraudsters act cleanly and decisively, they are obviously veterans. Who knows how many people they have deceived before. If we let them off lightly, they probably won’t restrain themselves at all! Take them back for a personal interrogation, see if there are any other accomplices behind them, and try to scoop them up all at once!"
Guo Dongliang nodded: "Okay, I’ll definitely handle this, and give you a satisfactory answer!"
The onlookers didn’t expect that, at this point, such an unexpected turn of events would happen, leaving everyone a little confused about what was going on.
Seeing a group of people over there filming with their phones, Guo Dongliang hurriedly smiled and explained:
"Everyone witnessed this firsthand today and should have some understanding of the situation just now, so I’ll take this opportunity to explain a bit further."
"This man and this woman, pretending not to know each other on the surface, are actually in cahoots. They act like passersby on the road, appearing harmless, but are secretly watching for targets to strike."
"This young girl, carrying a designer bag, holding an Apple phone, and wearing a gold necklace around her neck, clearly looks wealthy, and she was shopping alone, weak and vulnerable, so these two prepared to target this young girl!"
"While the girl was looking down at her phone, the woman deliberately walked past her, then intentionally bumped into her, taking the chance to slip a wallet into the girl’s pocket amidst the chaos."
"Then enters the man pretending to be a passerby, looking righteous, seemingly advocating for the woman, but actually playing good cop bad cop, deliberately suppressing the young girl, preventing her from defending herself."
"You onlookers, unaware of the truth, saw the girl unable to explain and believed that she stole the wallet and transferred the money inside."
"But in fact, this was all a setup by the scammers. This kind of trick is used to deceive young girls who are inexperienced in the ways of the world. If this young girl really followed what the scammer said and compensated the woman with the money, pendant, and earrings, she would truly fall for the scammer’s ruse!"
After Guo Dongliang finished explaining, he gestured to his subordinates to detain the man and the woman.
Even at this point, the man scoffed without shedding tears without seeing the coffin, saying, "The police and the wealthy are in cahoots, of course you’re backing your own people! I don’t understand what you’re saying; I don’t even know this woman. That money just now wasn’t mine; this woman must have slipped it into my pocket at some point, you’re distorting facts, deliberately misleading the public!"
Huo Sining chuckled in anger: "So by your logic, you’re innocent? Then let me ask you this: my young friend here randomly wearing a pendant worth tens of thousands for one string, is she out of her mind, why would she need to steal this woman’s wallet?"
"You say you don’t know this woman, then why did you help her snatch the Jade Pendant from my young friend? And yet as soon as she hears the pendant is worth tens of thousands, she grabs the goods and runs? Clearly, she only lost a little over three thousand, and I have already helped her retrieve this money, under such circumstances, shouldn’t she take the money back, then return the pendant and earrings to us?"
The man was left speechless by Huo Sining’s questioning.
Huo Sining didn’t want to waste more words on such people, but commoners generally harbor resentment towards the rich, the storyline was developing so rapidly, everyone didn’t understand the situation, and now hearing the man’s rebuttal, naturally harbored doubts, couldn’t help but suspiciously look towards Huo Sining.
Seeing the situation, Guo Dongliang unhurriedly spoke:
"You mentioned Miss Huo being wealthy, you are certainly not wrong there."
"This lady is named Huo Sining. This name, I think even if you don’t know it, there are people present who have heard it."
"Last year, during the Qingya earthquake, it was the lady before you who, without a word, donated three billion directly to the disaster area."
"Later in Philadelphia, this lady also spent nearly twenty billion RMB to bring back two of Huaxia’s twelve zodiac animal heads!"
"This lady also established the Poverty Foundation, donating her wealth voluntarily to the foundation, just to help impoverished children and students!"
"A person so well-off, do you think she lacks money to spend? Would her family’s young friend possibly steal someone else’s wallet for just over three thousand dollars? Isn’t that laughable to you?"
