Chapter 78: The Dollar Scam
On the way back from the trip, the original owner and his roommate met a ragged old woman at the station who asked to borrow money from them. His roommate Gao Li felt that she was so pitiful and it was only 4 yuan, so she gave her the money.
But the original owner knew that the old man was a liar. She had been cheated by such behavior before. They first asked to borrow 4 yuan, and then when she took out her wallet, they said they borrowed 400 yuan. The original owner was surrounded by the crowd and could only take out the 400 yuan in her bag. The man then said 4000 yuan.
In this way, the original owner was cheated out of 4000 yuan with their collusion.
So, the original owner was very kind and told Gao Li about this matter. Gao Li was skeptical and finally did not lend money to the old man.
The old man had a cerebral thrombosis and suddenly fell down after they left. Gao Li felt very guilty about this and thought that the original owner had harmed the old man. She embellished the incident and posted it online.
The original owner was cyberbullied and didn't dare to go back to school, so he had to take a leave of absence and go home, waiting until the incident was forgotten before going back to school.

[Dear passengers, the K2333 train is about to arrive at the station. Passengers who have purchased tickets for the K2333 train, please bring your luggage to Gate 2 and check in before boarding.]
Zhang Shan put the luggage in the waiting room and said, "Lili, I'm going to the bathroom. Can you help me look after the suitcase?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Gao Li didn't even raise his head and continued to control the little character in the phone to fight and kill in the canyon. When the game was over, he looked up but couldn't find Zhang Shan.
"Where did Zhang Shan go?"
Obviously, she didn't listen to what Zhang Shan said just now.
She was a little unhappy, but looking at the time, their train had not arrived yet, so she started another game.
"Little girl, I lost my ID card and cell phone. Can you lend me 4 yuan? I don't want more, just 4 yuan. I'll use it to buy a ticket home."
Gao Li looked up and saw an old lady in ragged clothes. She had an unpleasant odor and her eyes were red, which made her look even more pitiful.
"Grandma, do you only want 4 dollars? Where can I get 4 dollars?"
"You are a kind-hearted girl. If you give me more, I, an old woman, will be happier."
"When you're out, we should help each other. I'll get it for you."
Gao Li opened her wallet and found only a fifty-yuan note in it, the rest were in denominations of one hundred yuan. She gave the fifty yuan to the old lady without hesitation.
The old lady took the money and said, "I didn't say fifty, I said four hundred, little girl, did you hear wrong?"
"What? Isn't it 4 dollars? You said you wanted 4 dollars, I'm giving you now, but you want . Aren't you lying?"
Forty or fifty yuan is possible, but four hundred yuan is too much for a student.
Gao Li didn't want to give it.
"What's wrong with you, little girl? You promised to lend me money, but now you don't want to take it. Do you think it's fun to fool an old woman like me?"
"Everyone, come quickly, look at this little girl. She is so evil that she actually cheated the old man out of his life-saving money!"
When she shouted like this, the money she borrowed was turned into the money that Gao Li cheated her of. Gao Li was so angry that her face turned red.
"You are talking nonsense. I didn't cheat you of your money. You asked me for money. I gave you fifty, but you were still not satisfied. You asked for four hundred. I am a student. Where can I get so much money?"
The person on the other end just refused to listen. Gao Li was speechless and wanted to call Zhang Shan for help, but someone mistakenly thought she was calling the police and snatched her phone away.
"Don't even think about running away. You must return the money to Auntie today, or you won't be able to leave today!"
"Auntie, how much money did she cheat you out of?"
The old lady continued to speak loudly: "Four thousand!"
Gao Li really cried this time.
"I don't have that much money. I only have 500 yuan on me and I still have to go back to school. Just let me go. My friend has money, so you can ask her for it!"
It is better to let my friend die than to let me die. Gao Li deeply understood the essence of this saying.
"Where is your friend? Hurry up and ask her to come out and pay you back."
have to.
Another sentence defines Zhang Shan as a liar who owes money and refuses to pay it back.
This group of people is even more difficult to deal with than the ones the original owner encountered.
Fortunately, she took her ID card and bank card when she left. If the situation turns out to be wrong, she will rather die than let her fellow Taoist die.
Zhang Shan went out, refunded her ticket, and then bought a ticket to go home ten minutes later. After sending a message to Gao Li, she turned off her phone.
Four people from their dormitory went out to travel together. Two of them had already taken the bus back home, but the original owner and Gao Li didn't want to go home, so they went back to school together.
When the man saw the message Zhang Shan sent to Gao Li, his face looked a little unhappy. He thought he had caught another sheep, but he didn't expect the sheep to run away.
[Lili, I have to go home for something. Can you help me take my luggage back to school? Thank you! ]
As for whether Gao Li would help Zhang Shan take the luggage back, Zhang Shan said it didn't matter. She didn't plan to wear the original owner's clothes anymore. She liked to wear her own clothes.
Zhang Shan boarded the train home as if someone was chasing her.
The Korean melons can be eaten without having to get close.
Zhang Shan learned through the system that Gao Li's wallet was snatched by scammers, and took out red banknotes from her wallet. These were her living expenses for next month. How could Gao Li let them take them away?
During the struggle, Gao Li accidentally touched the old lady, who fell to the ground, fainted on the spot and was sent to the hospital.
The old lady suffered a sudden cerebral thrombosis and was sent to the ICU. Gao Li, the "culprit", was also held back by the family members who rushed over and were not allowed to leave.
When Zhang Shan returned to school, the old lady had not woken up and had become a vegetable. The daily ICU and medication costs alone were already terrifying, and the family members were even more reluctant to let Gao Li leave.
In the end, the school stepped in and brought Gao Li back. As for whether Gao Li should pay the money, let the law decide.
However, the evidence the lawyer found was very unfavorable to Gao Li. The group of scammers had disappeared without a trace long ago. It was also the first time for the old lady to commit fraud in this place, and Gao Li was her first target.
And from the surveillance video, it was seen that the old lady was indeed knocked down by Gao Li.
The police tracked down the case for two years. Although all the scammers were caught, they also smashed many criminal gangs along this line. Some of the gangs were also involved in trafficking women and children. Joint net-clearing activities were carried out across the country to eliminate fraud gangs in railway stations, bus stations and other places.
At the same time, security measures have been added in many places such as railway stations, airports, and passenger stations to further ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
The old lady's accomplice has been caught. Although it has been confirmed that the old lady is a fraudster, she was indeed knocked down by Gao Li, and Gao Li was acting in excessive self-defense.
During these two years, the old lady could not stop taking the medicine, otherwise if she died, Gao Li would be charged with intentional injury resulting in death.
The medical bills have reached an amount that Gao Li cannot afford - four hundred thousand!
Gao Li hated Zhang Shan the most, thinking that it was Zhang Shan who harmed her. If Zhang Shan had not changed her itinerary and returned home, those people would not have found her.
Gao Li's eyes gradually became vicious, and his roommates in the dormitory were all scared. They were worried that Gao Li would kill them while they were sleeping or poison the water dispenser, so they all moved out.
As graduation approached, they were worried that Gao Li would take ruthless action against them, so the three of them generally did not dare to act alone.
After the defense, the three of them left the school immediately and asked the school to send their graduation certificates to them.
All three of them wanted to study abroad, and had received offers from foreign universities several months ago. Without hesitation, they set off to go abroad directly.
But before Gao Li found an opportunity to attack them, they disappeared.
Zhang Shan learned from the [system] that Gao Li was taken back by the old lady's people, and her parents sold their house to pay off the medical expenses. In order to help her daughter get rid of the entanglement of the old lady's family, her mother took off the old lady's oxygen mask and turned herself in to the police station after the old lady died.
Gao Li's mother went to jail for her, but Gao Li did not feel grateful or remorseful, because their family had a criminal record and she could not take the civil service exam.
Twenty years later, Gao Li's mother was kicked out of the house by Gao Li because she had a criminal record, which affected her children and meant they had no good future.
Children are influenced by their parents' words and deeds. When Gao Li grew old and could no longer help her children, she was driven out of the home by her children and wandered outside.
After graduation, Zhang Shan and two other roommates returned to China and also joined the army of civil service examination candidates. The three of them supported each other and worked hard to build a beautiful, harmonious, prosperous and strong country.
