Chapter 3723 The Possibility of Being Cheated

Several people discussed for a long time but couldn't come to a reliable conclusion.

"I think this is a scam text message, what do you think?" Lee Sun-kyu proposed a new possibility, which sounded somewhat reasonable.

However, Kim Taeyeon immediately questioned: "Are scammers nowadays so professional? They even know our internal payment information template clearly?"

"Are you stupid? Aren't these text messages all the same? Who would check each word for word? It's better to just confirm the number."

"Who said that? I would compare them. Otherwise, what should I do if I get cheated?" Kim Taeyeon forced herself to find an excuse.

But the girls' eyes were full of contempt. If they remembered correctly, it seemed like just a few minutes' worth of money, and Kim Taeyeon only confirmed the number.

However, following this conjecture, Xu Xian's situation seems to be quite dangerous.

Sweeping-the-web fraud is relatively easy to prevent, as long as you control your own greed.

But this kind of scam that targets a specific person is very difficult to prevent, and the key is that they have no experience in this area.

Although artists are known for being "stupid and rich", most of them are just asked to pay high prices. This kind of highly targeted fraud is relatively rare.

It’s not that the scammers have a conscience, but because of the influence of the artists themselves, it’s easy for them to make a big deal out of being defrauded.

So once something like this happens, the numbers are often shockingly large, but does Xu Xian have the financial resources?

Not to mention her own savings, with Xu Xian's interpersonal relationships, if she wanted to borrow money, the amount she could get would be quite terrifying.

The girls became more and more worried the more they thought about it. Even with their phones in their hands, they were still worried.

The little girl spent so much time in the bathroom? Was she hiding there doing something secretly?

Unable to sit still any longer, everyone rushed to the restroom and roughly tried to push open the door of every cubicle.

This rough action is really a bit scary. If you don’t know, you might think you have encountered a pervert.

And Xu Xian didn't dare to make a sound. After all, no matter how you look at it, she was a more valuable target. When it comes to attracting perverts, Xu Xian never underestimated herself.

What should I do now? While she was sorting her clothes, she was also listening to the noise outside.

"Don't shout, it's not a pervert, it's us."

"Can't you tell who it is? I'm Kim... Kim Hyo-yeon!" Kim Taeyeon was clever: "Don't be afraid, we thought there was no one around, take your time, we're not in a hurry."

While dealing with Hyoyeon's hidden hand behind her, Kim Taeyeon pointed to the innermost compartment. If nothing unexpected happened, Seohyun was hiding here.

It would be fine if others couldn’t recognize their voices, but how could Xu Xian not recognize them?

He clearly recognized them but still pretended that no one was inside. This was clearly not a good thing. Their guess seemed to be coming true.

It was originally meant as a joke, but now everyone became more serious and were thinking about how to persuade Xu Xian next.

If I tell her the truth directly, will she be unable to accept it? Once she has a rebellious mentality, it will be quite troublesome to deal with it later.

Or should they try to win over the scammers? Would they personally fight the scammers and expose their true colors in front of Xu Xian?

The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, especially when they thought of Xu Xian's grateful face afterwards, their knocks on the door became more and more rough.

Xu Xian did recognize their voices, but as for why she didn't come out, it was probably because she was afraid of being embarrassed.

At least at this moment, these women can be completely equated with perverts. Anyway, they are all here to make trouble for Xu Xian.

In this case, it is better not to meet. We are all adults and should learn to be decent to each other.

But the girls didn't seem to have this awareness. The originally thin door had already been slightly deformed, and with every knock they made, the entire wall of the compartment was shaking.

She was really afraid that the entire compartment would collapse completely in the next second, which would cause a huge uproar.

If there are any traitors in the company, they can just wait to be on the hot search tomorrow morning: "Popular artist forcibly demolishes the bathroom". This title sounds very interesting.

Although being on the trending search list is a good thing, even if it is a so-called scandal, it is still an unattainable thing for many small artists.

But Xu Xian is undoubtedly past that age, and she is not so eager for trending searches, especially when they are negative.

She put her hands in the bun on top of her head and grabbed it twice, then she pushed the door open with her eyes raised.

"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Or are you in such a hurry that you can't even poop if you're not in this position—"

The girls quickly covered Xu Xian's mouth. There were colleagues around, so she shouldn't say anything too vulgar and should pay attention to maintaining her image.

In other words, Xu Xian was speechless, otherwise I would have to ask: Is she the only artist present? Is she the only one who needs to pay attention to her image?

Several people were assigned to escort Xu Xian back to the practice room, while the rest of the girls looked around the cubicle quickly, trying to find some clues.

Even though they had revealed their identities, the people around them still frowned, because their behavior was too abnormal.

To be precise, even perverts may not be as thorough as them, because perverts only target Xu Xian as a person, instead of repeatedly checking a certain location.

As soon as the girls, who had gained nothing, walked out, they were met with strange looks from their colleagues, and several of them froze in place instantly.

The mind that was just occupied by worrying about Xu Xian was now able to accommodate other possibilities, such as their current image issues.

And the doubts that Xu Xian had in her mind before were finally answered. It was not that they didn't know to pay attention to their image, but they were too worried about Xu Xian, so they didn't take care of it for a while.

But what should I do now? Would it be too much of an effort to explain? And if I chose to leave directly, it would make me seem guilty.

The girls were in a dilemma, but one of them had an idea and simply went back to the compartment behind him.

The other girls followed immediately. Suddenly, the room was so crowded that it was difficult to turn around. When they were facing each other, they immediately realized the embarrassment of this behavior. Should they hide? Or should they do it in front of everyone?

But if they left again, they would really become clowns. They could only continue to stick together closely and wait for the people outside to leave first.

At this moment, the other group of people surrounding Xu Xian did not pause at all. After confirming that there were no outsiders in the practice room, they immediately began to "interrogate" Xu Xian.

"Maknae, making mistakes is not scary, what is scary is not having the courage to face your mistakes."

"No matter what happens, you and your friends will always be there for you."

"Don't think too much. We don't have any other intentions. We just care about you."

Faced with the girls' persuasion, Xu Xian was confused. She could understand every word they said, but why did it sound like a mystery when they were put together?

"Did I offend you again? No?" Xu Xian was very aggrieved: "I just went to the bathroom. Didn't I inform you in advance?"

It’s no wonder she said such outrageous things. There is really no other possibility. At least from her point of view, this is the only reason.

But when it comes to imagination, Xu Xian is not even worthy of carrying shoes for these women. How could a mortal like Xu Xian understand their wild and imaginative conjectures?

The two sides talked back and forth for a while, and finally Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but said some key information: "We are also afraid that you will be deceived, you must understand us."

"Me? Cheated?" Xu Xian didn't understand why this sentence appeared at this moment. Is there any connection?

She really thought about it seriously and decided that if there were really scammers around her, it could only be them.

Faced with this "slander", the girls naturally denied it quickly: "Why are you talking nonsense? When have we ever lied to you?"

"Now! Right now! At this moment!" Xu Xian stared at them and said seriously.

"Uh...it was just an accident. Let's talk about how you were cheated." Kim Taeyeon quickly changed the subject. In order to make her words more convincing, she simply took out her cell phone.

At least today, Xu Xian didn't intend to pursue the matter of Kim Taeyeon unlocking her phone and reading her text messages without permission.

She was eager to end this ridiculous misunderstanding, so she chose to squint her eyes and focus on the content of the text message.

"Is there anything wrong with this? Is this a scam? Just check my account balance yourself. Don't say you don't know the password!"

Xu Xian no longer intended to deny the matter itself, because she felt that these women didn't understand, so she decided to follow their thinking.

And Kim Taeyeon was indeed stunned. What Xu Xian said was right. Compared with ordinary scam text messages, the content of this text message can be verified.

Once it is confirmed that the money has been transferred in, does it matter whether it is a scam or not?

"No, that's not right!" Jin Taeyeon pointed at Xu Xian and said loudly: "This is most likely a bait. The scammer gave you benefits in advance just to gain greater benefits from you!"

Xu Xian was dumbfounded. No, it has come to this point, and Kim Taeyeon can still continue to try to cover it up?

"Okay, just treat this as bait, but isn't it too much? How much money do you need to get out of me to offset the risk?" Xu Xian continued to ask.

This time, Kim Taeyeon answered without any hesitation, as if the answer was already in her mind: "Of course, the other party's ultimate goal is you. You are the priceless treasure!"

"I...you..." Xu Xian felt that nothing she could say was appropriate: "Forget it, thank you for liking me."

According to Kim Taeyeon's logic, Seohyun has admitted defeat. The other party can completely make her logic self-consistent, but she has no possibility to refute it because the incident did not really happen.

Even if it is only a very small probability, who can say that it is impossible to happen?

Maybe Xu Xian really has such a fan who can easily take out a lot of money as bait to make friends with her, and then lure her into bankruptcy, so as to get her.

But aren’t the steps too complicated? If one has the financial resources, one can settle the matter through formal channels.

Xu Xian is not a stay-at-home girl who stays at home all day. She also goes out to work. We can meet and chat.

After giving up on arguing with Kim Taeyeon, Xu Xian took out Li Eunxi's receipt from her pocket. She wanted to retell the whole thing using her own logic.

"So you asked for this money on behalf of Li Menglong? Are you doting on him too much?" Kim Taeyeon asked sourly.

"This money belongs to Li Menglong himself. This is the premise." Xu Xian crossed her hands in front of her body and said, "Then your wording is also questionable. Don't bring the lines from the TV series into reality. It sounds a bit disgusting."

"What do you mean disgusting? You are just pampering him. Is he your sister?" Kim Taeyeon refused to give in, as if Seohyun had really done something wrong to her.

Xu Xian looked at her carefully and soon noticed the embarrassment in Kim Taeyeon's eyes. Could it be that this woman felt ashamed?

It is very likely. After all, any normal person can feel how outrageous her previous guess was.

But Xu Xian really wanted to say that it was not necessary. It was not the first day she knew Kim Taeyeon, and she had a strong resistance to her various strange ideas.

But let's just go along with her wishes now, otherwise it will not benefit anyone if Kim Taeyeon is forced into a desperate situation.

"Sisters are sisters, I don't mind having more sisters." Xu Xian said generously: "What about you? If you all agree, I will invite him to join the team later."

Kim Taeyeon rolled her eyes upwards, trying to imagine the scene when Lee Moon-ryong joined their group as the youngest member.

She couldn't even imagine it. It wasn't because she lacked imagination, but because the scene was too horrifying.

But she didn't stop her and let the little girl do it. Li Menglong wouldn't agree anyway.

With the girls' "expectations", Xu Xian came to the second floor again, but she couldn't help laughing.

She just said this afterwards, how could it be considered her mission? Should I really ask Li Menglong?

Xu Xian, who kept her promise, did not intend to break her appointment. She just treated it as a joke. She had just done such a big thing for Li Menglong, how could he have the nerve to turn against her?

She walked in with the wind. She had been delayed upstairs for too long. She was not sure how much work had been left behind, which was something she could not tolerate.

But it seemed that her worries were unnecessary, because Li Menglong was helping her handle her work at her place.

The reason why he was so kind was because Yoona was still sleeping soundly in his seat, and the scene was quite interesting for a while.

To put it more seriously, Li Menglong was "bullied in the workplace" by Yoona, and everyone around him was Yoona's accomplice.

So when Li Menglong saw Xu Xian, he immediately showed an aggrieved expression, pointed at Yoona pitifully, and signaled Xu Xian to give him justice.

This expression and this action reminded Xu Xian of Kim Taeyeon’s previous comments. Could it be that Li Menglong really regarded himself as a "sister"?

He must not think too much about it, he should be cautious about this kind of thing!
