Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Chapter 832: Chapter 298: You Actually Suspect the Police Are Scammers?_2

True identity...

He’s a dropout from middle school, a drifter who didn’t even finish high school.

Yet such a person...

Actually used success theory to deceive so many highly educated individuals.

Including postgraduates, owners of small and medium-sized enterprises.

All these people were duped by him, selling their cars and houses, paying for courses, paying to be mentored...

"You must be very proud of yourself, right?"

"You, a person who didn’t even finish middle school, played with these social elites."

"Behind their backs, aren’t you feeling quite thrilled?"

Shen Dao lifted his head, casting a slightly mocking glance at Nie Yunxiao.

And Nie Yunxiao...

Upon hearing the facts revealed by Shen Dao, his face became increasingly unpleasant.

Simply remained silent.

Not uttering a single word.

"You don’t have to speak, but..."

Shen Dao was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "Our colleagues have already started overnight raids, interrogating other employees of your company. From them, we can obtain what we want too."

"Whether you open your mouth or not, there are others who will."

"But at that time... you’ll lose the opportunity for lenient treatment."

Shen Dao’s pace of speech was not fast.

Nie Yunxiao could hear it clearly.

Just a few words.

Made him break down instantly, and he suddenly lifted his head.

Glaring at the other party.

"I... I’ll talk."

A dozen seconds later.

He struggled to squeeze out those words.

...

Jin City.

Mountain and Water Garden District.

In the study room.

"It’s really... a sin."

Qin Mu looked at the pitch-black screen in front of him and silently put down the mouse.

His hands left the keyboard.

He sighed deeply.

This was his tenth consecutive defeat tonight.

The reason why he kept losing...

Actually had little to do with him, who asked him to team up with an epic-level disaster.

In the evening.

Coincidentally, Nie Yunxiao’s case reached a pause.

He was idle and logged into the game.

Planning to play a match to win and then log off.

Unexpectedly...

Qing Lan caught him right at that moment.

Under Qing Lan’s persuasion and insistence, he couldn’t hold out and agreed to a duo match.

Then came the tragedy of ten consecutive defeats. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Cheer up, don’t be discouraged, it’s nothing. I’ve experienced fifteen consecutive defeats before; let’s play one more and surely we’ll get the first win!"

In the team voice chat.

Qing Lan’s voice could be heard.

Qin Mu’s mouth twitched slightly, no longer believing Qing Lan’s nonsense.

"Next time, we’ll play next time."

Immediately after.

He said a few simple words before logging off the game.

Opting for emergency avoidance.

If he continued to play...

He worried his heart condition would be triggered by Qing Lan.

Qing Lan had clearly been playing the game for several years, yet was still clumsily bad.

Every time he watched her screen and her operations...

It made his blood pressure spike.

"Ring ring ring—"

And just after he logged off the game, his phone rang suddenly.

The caller...

Was Shen Dao.

"We’ve caught the person, and the interrogation is underway."

As soon as the call connected.

Shen Dao briefly updated him on the progress of the case and solemnly asked: "Be honest with me, how did you obtain these materials?"

His voice was very serious.

Every case needs to be thoroughly investigated, and a report must be written.

As far as he knew.

Qin Mu only attended one of Nie Yunxiao’s success theory seminars and had not been cheated personally.

But Qin Mu had a lot of detailed information on other participants who were deceived.

This aroused his suspicion.

But based on his understanding of Qin Mu, Qin Mu shouldn’t be involved in illegal activities with Nie Yunxiao and his group.

Moreover...

This information was sent to the prosecutor’s office by Qin Mu himself.

"You’ve caught the person?"

Upon hearing Shen Dao’s words, Qin Mu’s expression brightened.

Feeling somewhat pleased.

After all this time.

Finally, there’s been a breakthrough.

Immediately after.

He answered Shen Dao’s question truthfully, "That information... I actually impersonated the assistant and gathered it."

Immediately after.

He recounted how he impersonated and helped the other side to appease the deceived victims.

"Hello?"

"Captain Shen, are you still listening?"

But on the other end of the line.

It suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, the voice reconfirmed, "Are you saying... you deceived those victims again?"

Qin Mu nodded, "Captain Shen, you have no idea how hard it is for an ordinary person to gather evidence. I had no choice but to use this method, but don’t worry, I have taken good care of these materials and only handed them over to the prosecutor’s office. They haven’t been leaked elsewhere."

On the other end of the phone.

Shen Dao’s lips twitched a few times, and he replied not too kindly, "Do you know your actions might constitute a criminal offense?"

Impersonating someone else’s identity.

If the circumstances are severe, it might constitute crimes like impersonation, invasion of personal information, fraud, and others.

Qin Mu, for the sake of collecting evidence...

This time, his approach even shocked himself.

"I had no other choice, Captain Shen. You know me, I couldn’t just stand by and watch them get away with it and keep deceiving others, could I?"

Qin Mu defended himself, portraying innocence.

Hearing this, Shen Dao couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

He was very familiar with Qin Mu’s character.

Indeed.

Watching those people get away with it was more unbearable for him than getting involved himself.

Others might not dare to do such a thing.

But Qin Mu...

Absolutely would!

"This time your actions were relatively minor; you didn’t profit nor leaked information, so it won’t constitute a crime."

Shen Dao pondered for a moment, then seriously warned, "But remember, don’t knowingly break the law. Let this be the last time!!"

Such behavior...

Although somewhat understandable, isn’t commendable.

If everyone were to do this, fraudsters would likely run rampant, and society would be in chaos.

"Absolutely, absolutely, it won’t happen again."

Listening to Shen Dao’s words, Qin Mu nodded repeatedly.

He acknowledged the criticism.

He truly had no better idea and took a risky move.

Each day delayed...

Would result in more victims being deceived.

Moreover.

His epic reward depended on this case.

"Additionally, once we recoup the funds, and get in touch with the victims, in a few days, we will initiate a public prosecution. Make sure to be present then."

Finally.

Shen Dao reminded him of another important matter before hanging up.

Qin Mu was the whistleblower for this case.

He provided numerous pieces of evidence.

Which were crucial to the case, and he couldn’t be absent during the trial.

...

Two days later.

Jin City Police Station.

Thanks to Qin Mu’s contribution.

To expedite the resolution of Nie Yunxiao and others’ success cases, the entire police station, including Shen Dao, worked overtime for several days.

Only then were they able to sort through the details of the case.

Financial information was verified.

The bank accounts of Nie Yunxiao and other mid-to-high-level personnel were frozen.

Except for a small portion of funds that was unaccounted for, most funds were recovered.

The case, at this stage.

Became mostly clear.

Shen Dao instructed the officers to make phone calls to each of the 1,293 defrauded students.

Informing them that the fraudsters had been caught and that the funds were recovered.

However...

When they thought everything would go smoothly.

They encountered numerous troubles while making the calls.

"Scammer? I’m not a scammer, I’m a police officer. Why don’t you add me on WeChat, and I can video call you to show my work ID..."

The officers, holding the landline, continually dialed these victims’ numbers.

However...

It started smoothly.

But once they mentioned capturing Nie Yunxiao’s gang and returning the scammed money to them...

The victims suddenly became smart.

They began suspecting the officers were scammers.

This halted their work, leaving it at a standstill.

Desperate.

They tried to prove their identity.

But the victims...

Hung up the phone directly, refusing to listen to their explanations.

"Captain Shen, what should we do? I’m calling from our station’s landline, and yet they still suspect us of being scammers?"

The officers looked at Shen Dao, full of helplessness and frustration.

They had helped catch the scammers.

Recovered the money.

Yet these victims...

Began doubting their identities, accusing them of being scammers too.

"Let me try one."

Shen Dao frowned, picking up some documents.

He dialed the phone number of the student, Luo Siyu, who had the most money stolen.
