The logic here was exceedingly simple. Soone had made moves against the four sisters of the Xiao Family; now, only Xiao Yebai remained. The problem was that Yebai was well known as a profligate with nothing to his na. In that case, the only option left was to set their sights on his wife, Gu Nuan.
Xiao Yebai, who cared deeply for his wife, would surely help if he saw Gu Nuan’s maternal family in trouble. The adversary must have thought their move was quite astute. However, they hadn’t anticipated that both Gu Nuan’s father and mother were without money, not even a penny to invest, and trusted their daughter implicitly. They would tell her everything, especially after Gu Nuan demonstrated her capabilities during the Qiu Sangui investnt affair, which only increased their trust in her. Thus, the only option for their adversary was to target other relatives of the Gu Family.
There was a fear that even Xiaozang, the newly-joined son-in-law of Gu Ershen, could suffer from this disaster.
In this battle of wits, it wasn’t the strength of the adversary that was feared, but their hidden nature. Catching these people by the tail was proving to be extrely difficult. Fortunately, this provided an opportunity to confirm so details by following the clues.
Gu Nuan’s father waited for a while, but seeing that Zhang Sanfeng remained silent, he had no interest in prying into others’ privacy and thought that Zhang Sanfeng must have his reasons for not speaking. He never imagined that this matter concerned him. Now, all Gu Nuan’s father could think about was what to do next. He had heard that his second sibling had invested money; should he warn them?
Furthermore, had a bunch of his friends also been duped?
Just as Gu Nuan’s father was hurrying to stand up and warn others outside, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly looked up at him and uttered two words, "Wait."
His voice was both steady and as decisive as a military command, leaving Gu Nuan’s father startled.
Compared to Gu Nuan’s father’s anxious expression, Zhang Sanfeng spoke very calmly, "Uncle, if you go out and say sothing without proof, who would believe you? Besides, haven’t many people already received their first paynt?"
Right, people won’t shed tears until they see the coffin. Gu Nuan’s father felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and asked, "Then what should we do?!" At this point, Gu Nuan’s father was very puzzled, "The company they invested in has been operating for about ten years and hasn’t had any issues; it’s a big company!" It was precisely because of the company’s good reputation that he, like others, was tempted.
Thinking that if it really were a scam, it was incredible that nothing had gone wrong in ten years; matters should have co to light a long ti ago.
That is the difference between a clever scam artist and a petty thief. A real scamr is professional and deeply experienced, able to spin everyone around with deception.
"Uncle, please sit down," Zhang Sanfeng’s voice, which brooked no argunt and exuded a calm authority like a military commander leading an army, made Gu Nuan’s father involuntarily sit back down on his stool, waiting for him to speak.
Zhang Sanfeng said, "Ill-gotten wealth will eventually have to be coughed up. So, uncle, there’s no need to worry."
Gu Nuan’s father could only look at him and numbly nod his head.
Speaking of Gu Nuan’s grandfather and grandmother returning to their hotown, why did they do it? They did so to hide the savings they treasured beneath their bed—the money saved for their coffins.
Apart from keeping their savings in the bank, they, being of the old thinking, always felt that keeping so cash hidden under the bed was the most secure.
There had been a lot of talk about investing in the county recently, and the elderly couple thought it might be ti to increase their investnt. Look, those who were late to realize and wanted to continue investing had no channels left; the opportunity wasn’t offered to them anymore. Fortunately, they knew Xiaozang, who was willing to let them in on this backdoor deal. So, in haste, they took out all their coffin money to invest.
They invested an additional fifty thousand, making it a total of ninety thousand, which amounted to all the savings the elderly couple had accumulated over the years, now entirely invested.
