Chapter 343 Greed, Anger, and Ignorance

The so-called D Rongbao is a typical Ponzi scheme, also commonly known as the game of passing the buck while robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The promise of a 12% annualized rate of return and the promotion of "zero risk" to the outside world resulted in a mismatch between investors' risk tolerance and the actual risk of the product.

It's safe to say that, aside from education, there are no "high-return, low-risk" investments in the world. If there were, it wouldn't be yours.

Returns and risks always coexist. Any investment that exceeds the bank deposit rate or government bond rate is risky.

Huang Youfa, the boss behind D Rongbao, was prepared to flee at any time from the beginning and continuously laundered money overseas. The amount involved has reached more than 30 billion yuan.

In fact, this scam is not new. Anyone with a little economic common sense can understand it at a glance, but why do so many people still fall for it?
It's nothing, just greed.

As the saying goes, it is easy to cheat the poor but hard to earn them, but it is easy to earn the rich but hard to cheat them.

Let's put it this way, if you directly tell the poor people that D Rongbao is a scam and explain clearly how to operate it, they will join without hesitation out of greed because they will think that they will never be the one to be harvested in the end.

Once people are blinded by fame and fortune, it is not surprising that they do stupid things.

Gao Dongxu, the yellow bird, is ready to come online again to eat Huang Youfa, the fat mantis that has already eaten its fill!

However, the amount of money involved in this case is too large. Once it goes public, it will become a shocking case. If you want to be the one who took advantage of it without leaving any trace, you must make a comprehensive plan.

Lao Gui should be the head of the debt collection line for Drongbao’s online loan business.

However, he used Drongbao's online loan business to hatch his own gray industry and set up a "takeout" gang.

What Gao Dongxu wanted to find was the money laundering line of D Rongbao.

Just as he was frowning and thinking about where to start, a very distinctive and familiar celebrity face appeared on the laptop screen that had been playing the secretly filmed video.

Bald Bao Beier?
Wow, the scenes in the video are really exciting. I don’t know what role he plays, but it is certain that he is not a good guy, because a good person would not order five takeouts at a time and go crazy like a group of demons.

Since Bao Beier can appear in this hard drive, his identity must be extraordinary. Even if he is not a big shot, he must have an extremely special role, otherwise Lao Gui would not secretly shoot his video.

You know, if you order one takeout and are caught, at most you will be fined and let your wife take it home, but if you order more than two, that’s a different matter and you will be punished severely.

Pisan'er, what a good name!

According to normal logic, Bao Beier would never play an insignificant little character. Even if he played a little character, he would definitely be a key plot character, and he must have something in his hands.

So, let’s start with this fart.

When Gao Dongxu made the decision, the old ghost who was knocked unconscious by Leng Feng was finally found and awakened by his number one henchman.

"Shovel, please help me check if the hard drives in the safe are still there?" As soon as the old ghost woke up, he covered his neck and shouted in pain.

Shovel hurried to the bookshelf and the half-closed safe, opened the door, then turned to the old ghost who was slowly getting up from the carpet and said, "Except money, there is nothing -"

"Damn, this time I'm completely screwed—" The old ghost cursed helplessly, sat down in the boss chair with a gloomy face, opened the drawer, took out a cigar, lit it, and puffed hard, continuously exhaling light smoke until the cigar butt was completely burned. He let out a long puff of smoke, leaned back in the boss chair with a sore body, frowned and said, "I hope the other party doesn't do anything stupid..."

"Boss, who are they?" Tieqiao rushed over after receiving a call from his subordinates who were beaten and left in the old warehouse. Because it was early in the morning, many of his subordinates could not be gathered together. However, he still brought more than 20 people with him, who were waiting in the lobby downstairs.

"He's a powerful outsider, someone we can't afford to offend. He's really in trouble this time..." Lao Gui thought of Gao Dongxu's arrogant attitude and the box of Panda cigarettes, and said helplessly.

"Just let it go like this?" Shovel said somewhat depressedly.

"Forget it, what else can I do? Now that he has those videos of mine in his hands, I'll be thankful if he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. Damn it, I've been badly harmed by that bastard Biaozi. Where is he?" Lao Gui was helpless, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"He was taken to the hospital. He was badly injured. Three of his teeth were pulled out and his leg was broken. The attacker was extremely brutal."

Thinking of Gao Dongxu, the old ghost's mouth twitched a few times, and he said helplessly: "It's more than just cruel. If I hadn't agreed quickly, the tendons of my hands and feet would have been torn, and I would have become a complete cripple."

Upon hearing this, Tieshao's face became very ugly, and he frowned and said, "Where did this lunatic come from?" "Judging from his accent, he should be from Beijing, and his manners are very much like the second generation of a government official. You know, these kinds of guys are the most difficult to deal with. Not only are they arrogant and cruel, but they are also greedy more than the other." Lao Hei said helplessly with a gloomy face.

"Give orders later, everyone, shut up and pretend nothing happened. If anyone lets the cat out of the bag and leaks the news, don't blame me for getting angry."

"I understand. I'll give the order right away..." Shovel said as he was about to walk out.

"Don't be anxious. Although you don't want to offend him, you can't be easily intimidated by him. Send people to determine his location first. Send people to keep an eye on Xiaoxue's rental house and follow her. Remember, don't be discovered. After confirming where he lives, find a way to find out his name and his background. You must know who he is." The old ghost narrowed his eyes and ordered with a frown.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away--" Shovel turned around and walked out quickly.

As soon as the shovel left, the old ghost cursed in a somewhat embarrassed and angry tone, "Damn, this year is really unlucky--"

After cursing, he touched his neck with a grin. Leng Feng's knife strike that knocked him out was really heavy.

He stood up and walked to the safe. Looking at the neatly arranged cash inside, Lao Gui sighed depressedly, reached out to close the door, turned the combination lock, and scrambled the combination dial.

Lao Gui was not as nervous and worried as he had imagined about the hard drive and recorder being taken away from the safe. Moreover, to be honest, if the other party saw the content of the video, they would definitely not choose to make it public because there were too many bigwigs involved.

Therefore, Lao Gui bet that the other party would never release the video content regardless of the consequences.

As for the fact that he had lost his last bargaining chip, that was not necessarily the case. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. He had a backup set placed with the shovel just in case.

Of course, Xiaoxue’s videos and photos really weren’t backed up this time…

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xiaoxue, who had woken up naturally, slowly opened her eyes.

This was the first time in six months that she hadn't been awakened by a nightmare. A faint ray of light leaked through the gap in the curtains. She blinked, her eyelashes trembling slightly in the sunlight. She heard the sound of even breathing beside her pillow. She tilted her head and saw Gao Dongxu's peaceful sleeping face.

Memories from a distant past flooded back like a tide. During those days of threats, she'd spent sleepless nights, terrified that the moment she closed her eyes, she'd receive a debt collection call. She curled up on her bed in her rental apartment, tears of despair, thinking over and over again, "Let it all end."

Until I met him.

Xiaoxue gently turned over, the sunlight outlining her soft outline. Her skin glowed like pearls in the dim light, and her long black hair spread out on the pillow like an ink painting.

She looked at Gao Dongxu and remembered how he helped her solve those troubles step by step, how he hugged her tightly when she broke down, and how he said "I am here" over and over again.

Gao Dongxu's eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes. Xiaoxue felt her cheeks heat up the moment their eyes met. She pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rising in a shy yet sweet smile. The sunlight streamed in at that moment, casting a soft golden edge on her complexion.

"woke up?"

"Hmm..." Xiaoxue smiled sweetly. She had never thought she would have such a peaceful moment. All the nightmares seemed to have faded away with last night's peaceful sleep, replaced by a heart full of warmth and gratitude.

Gao Dongxu reached out and smoothed her hair, and she buried her face in his palm. At that moment, she felt like a butterfly that had been reborn, finally breaking free from its cocoon and spreading its beautiful wings in the sunlight.

Holding the fully charged tablet, I turned it on directly, put it on the original stand, opened "Angry Birds", and started a happy gaming time.

"Ah! So much money?"

Her originally fair and delicate face was covered with a blush, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to her fair neck. Xiaoxue, who was wearing a slightly loose white nightgown and had her hair tied into a bun, stared with her beautiful watery eyes at the travel bag full of cash that Gao Dongxu had thrown on the bed, and asked in a trembling voice.

"It's not much, just one million. I'll ask Brother Gui for compensation for mental damage for you. After lunch, I'll accompany you to spend it all in the afternoon. Buy whatever you want and spend as much as you want." Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he sat next to her.

"Spend it all? This, this is too extravagant, right?" Xiaoxue's face was full of shock, but at the same time, her beautiful eyes were full of excitement and eagerness to try. Her already rosy face became flushed again. Although she talked about extravagance, she could no longer contain the excitement of revenge consumption in her heart.

As if he could see through Xiaoxue's heart, Gao Dongxu smiled and said, "Luxury? Actually, if you really want to spend it, one million won't buy you much. I let you spend it all so that you can untie the knot in your heart and say goodbye to your yesterday self. From now on, you have me, so you don't have to worry about money anymore. You only need to be beautiful and enjoy every day happily."

"Hmm!" Xiaoxue's beautiful eyes were sparkling with ripples. She threw herself into Gao Dongxu's arms with great emotion, wrapped her extremely white and slender arms around his neck, and gave him another sweet kiss.
