Chapter 1242 - Capítulo 1242: 1328: Scamming for Money

Capítulo 1242: Chapter 1328: Scamming for MoneyLooking at Su Xuan, this guy pretended to be anxious and said, but he was actually very excited inside. If this guy really has that much money in his Alipay, that would be great. I could help transfer the money out from his Alipay since I have his phone and number, which is actually quite easy to do.

“How about this? To be fair, I’ll give you my phone, and you give me your bag as collateral. That way, I can feel at ease.”

Su Xuan said seriously.

“This won’t work. There are several tens of thousands in my bag. What if you run away? I would suffer a big loss. How can I dare transfer your Alipay money? What if you call the police then?”

This guy was also very cunning and immediately said.

“Is that so? I just happen to have a diamond ring here, newly bought. I planned it as a surprise for my girlfriend. It cost me one hundred thousand. I’ll use this as collateral, and you give me your bag. This way, we’ll keep each other in check, and I can feel at ease. Oh, here’s the receipt, take a look.”

As Su Xuan spoke, he handed a receipt to that guy. When the guy took the receipt, he felt a rush of excitement inside, thinking this guy must be out of his mind to pawn a diamond ring worth one hundred thousand for a mere ten thousand yuan.

Of course, he actually understood this mentality. People can be strange that way, losing big over small things. Often many things just because of one little thing can ruin a whole life.

People aren’t as rational as you might think most of the time. Some actions they take can even be seen as downright foolish.

Just like some gamblers, when they’ve won four thousand nine hundred, they think they’ll just win another hundred to make it five thousand and then stop. But they end up losing a hundred instead, which changes their mindset, and they keep losing another one thousand or two. If they had stopped in time, it would have been fine. But by then, they’ve truly lost big over a small thing. Not only do they end up losing all their winnings, but they also lose their principal.

Such things really aren’t rare; they’re countless. So, in this guy’s view, he was quite willing to believe Su Xuan’s stuff was real.

After some discussion, Su Xuan finally gave this guy a diamond ring and a phone, and the guy gave Su Xuan his backpack and gold necklace.

“Then I’ll go negotiate with them. You must wait for me to come back.”

The man was already so excited that he couldn’t contain himself, thinking today he really lucked out finding a fool. In his bag, there was only a little over ten thousand yuan. The gold necklace was real, but only worth around ten thousand yuan. Yet this fool gave him both a phone and a diamond ring, thinking he made a profit. Truly, there’s no cure for being stupid.

The guy was feeling extremely proud and smug inside.

“Su Xuan, is that phone fake?”

After the guy left, Shui Lingling softly asked, looking at Su Xuan.

“Uh… Women really shouldn’t be too smart!” Su Xuan said with a naughty grin. He didn’t expect Shui Lingling to notice his sleight of hand.

“Tsk. I only believe that in this world, no matter who suffers, it wouldn’t be you. That guy this time has probably been thoroughly conned by you.”

Shui Lingling, though not particularly knowledgeable about Su Xuan, was certain about one thing: this guy definitely wasn’t someone to be taken advantage of. If he fell for a scam, he wouldn’t be Su Xuan. Even though he didn’t see Su Xuan swap the phone, he knew for sure Su Xuan wouldn’t really give a phone to that scammer.

“Let’s go, let’s get something good to eat.”

Su Xuan said as he opened the guy’s bag and saw there was actually a stack of one hundred yuan bills, which made him very happy. He didn’t expect they actually had a bit of money.

“There’s actually over ten thousand, hahaha…”

Su Xuan was as thrilled as if he’d won the lottery. Shui Lingling was instantly dumbfounded, thinking, “You’re so rich, pretending to be poor will get you nowhere. This ten thousand yuan probably doesn’t even count as money for you.”

Meanwhile, the fool who took Su Xuan’s things returned eagerly to his companion.

“Where’s your backpack?”

The companion was curious; after all, it contained their spoils from days of scamming, entrusted to him for safekeeping to prevent losing the real money.

“Haha, gave it to the fat sheep. Liu, look!”

He excitedly handed an Apple phone to his companion and said.

“Latest model plus, over seven thousand yuan, and more importantly, it’s linked to Alipay. That guy said there’s over one hundred thousand in there.”

“Such a good deal, hand me the phone!”

The guy excitedly grabbed the phone and pressed a button, but it wouldn’t turn on.

“What’s going on, why won’t it turn on?”

“Could it be out of battery?”

The guy quickly said.

“I have a power bank!” The man hurriedly took out a power bank to charge the phone, but in the next moment, they were left speechless as they discovered the port was fake. It couldn’t be charged.

“Damn it, what kind of phone is this? Did you get scammed?”

The furious man exclaimed.

“How could this happen? That damn scammer actually gave me a fake phone. Liu, check if the ring might be fake too.”

The fool quickly said, terrified the ring could be fake as well.

“Damn, it’s all glass, Ten Yuan for three pieces. You’re such an idiot. Hurry up, let’s go find him.”

Liu was furious, nearly losing his mind. Having spent his life scamming people, he couldn’t believe he’d been conned himself. The fool looked at the two worthless pieces of junk with a very ugly expression, realizing he’d been duped.

When the two retraced their steps, they couldn’t find Su Xuan and his group, leaving them seething with anger.

“You’re a downright pig, how can there be a pig like you?”

Liu roared with anger.

Meanwhile, as Su Xuan and Shui Lingling happily went to a hotel for a meal, it turned out that the diamond ring was something he used for show-off purposes earlier, and the fake phone was something he’d bought before. Together they cost him only Ten Yuan, yet they got him a gold necklace and over ten thousand in return. You could say he was the bane of these scam artists, and they really had no choice but to admit their bad luck when they encountered him.

By the afternoon, Dugu Lang found Su Xuan. Dugu Lang wasn’t a tough guy; he’d grown used to a life of luxury over the years and lacked the courage to take his own life. Actually, if a person truly has the courage to commit suicide, then they must be strong.

Many people think of those who commit suicide as weak, as escaping reality, but Su Xuan believed if someone can choose to end their life by suicide, then they aren’t something weak can achieve. This is truly the mark of a strong person.
