Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Professional Counterfeit Fighter Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Professional Counterfeit Fighter “Scammers are such a pain in the ass these days,” Wang Hao cursed directly, “These guys have hands and feet, why don’t they make money the honest way instead of becoming scammers!”

His intention was to comfort Tong Tong, but as soon as he finished speaking, the person next to them said, “Exactly, there are so many scammers nowadays. I tell my mom it’s fake, but she just won’t believe me!”

Wang Hao and Tong Tong turned their heads and saw that it was a mother and son.

The son looked to be about thirty, genteel in appearance. The mother seemed to be around fifty-five or fifty-six, and while she looked quite mild-mannered and well-off, at this moment, her face was filled with urgency as she frantically said, “I know there are a lot of scammers, but this…”

She had only gotten that far when suddenly a phone began to ring!

At the sound, the aunt nearly jumped in fright, “Here it comes again! Take a look!”

The man said, “Just don’t answer it then…”

“But what if it’s actually something important…” The aunt suddenly became hesitant and anxious, “Is it really okay not to answer?”

At this point, Wang Hao couldn’t stand by any longer, “Of course, you can’t just not answer, but auntie, don’t panic. How about I answer it for you to see?”

He had just made the offer, and everyone looked at him, Tong Tong said, “You’re not going to chew someone out, are you?”

“Of course not,” Wang Hao replied with a grin, “I’m a professional at busting fakes, hehe, it’s quite fun to mess with scammers!”

Tong Tong burst into laughter–this guy had now become a ‘professional at busting fakes’…

“Little brother, you do it!” The man was quite straightforward, “Give them a good scolding and let off some steam!”

Alright, this was exactly what he loved!

Wang Hao cleared his throat and got ready, then pressed the speakerphone button, and heard a voice from the other end of the line, “Is this Ms. Wu Qiong? I am calling from the JH city Criminal Police Brigade, and we suspect you are involved in illegal smuggling. Please cooperate and answer a few questions!”

JH city Criminal Police Brigade! Suspected of illegal smuggling!

That’s quite an accusation!

Wang Hao and the others exchanged glances, and he cheerfully asked the caller, “Hold on a sec, it’s a bit noisy here. I’m her nephew. What was that again?”

Hearing this, the mother visibly tensed up, her hands shaking!

The male voice on the phone said, “This is the JH city Criminal Police Brigade. We suspect your aunt is involved in illegal smuggling. Please have her cooperate and answer a few questions!” And I must say, the voice did sound quite authoritative…

Tong Tong nudged Wang Hao and silently mouthed, “Stall for time!” Then she took out her phone, which displayed the name Officer Kong Xingsheng.

“OK!” Wang Hao gestured an ‘OK’ sign, and then said to the phone, “Impossible, impossible. You’re blindly misleading people. My aunt said she was at home asleep all day yesterday. Maybe you’ve got the wrong person?” As he spoke, he winked at Tong Tong and whispered, “Contact them immediately to check the address.”

“Okay,” Tong Tong whispered back, and then stepped aside to make a call.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao–

The voice on the phone said, “Impossible, the phone number 139XXXXXXXX, ID number 3101881992XXXXXXXX, Wu as in ‘Heavenly People’s Wu,’ Qiong as in ‘Capital’s Qiong,’ right?”

Damn it, this guy seemed to know a lot! Let’s see how I obliterate you today!

At this point, Aunt Wu Qiong was clearly getting anxious, “I can’t do this, I’m going to transfer money…” only to be firmly stopped by her son, “Wait a minute, let’s see how it goes.”

“Ah, yes, yes, it’s my aunt,” said Wang Hao, noting that Tong Tong had come back, and he said loudly into the phone, “You just said you’re from where again? What was this about?”

Male voice: “JH city Criminal Police Brigade! You are suspected of illegal smuggling!”

Wang Hao: “Oh, Criminal Police Brigade, huh? Which department are you guys from?”

Male voice: “Criminal Police Brigade, Criminal Investigation Department.”

Wang Hao: “Oh, Criminal Investigation Department, uh? Well, I’m quite familiar with that, I have a friend named Zhang Quandan who’s in that department; do you know him?”

Male voice: “Who? I didn’t quite catch the name.”

Wang Hao said with a laugh, “Zhang Quandan, a tall, skinny guy.”

Tong Tong almost exploded with laughter!

Male voice: “Ah, there is someone by that name, though I’m not familiar with him. Don’t try to pull connections here; everyone is equal before the law!”

By now, Tong Tong had already made contact, and Officer Kong Xingsheng was sending her messages, “Miss Tong, where are you? Encountered a scam call?”

Tong Tong quickly replied, “Talking to them now, waiting to ask for their phone.” She showed the message to Wang Hao and quickly noted down the scammer’s phone number.

Kong Xingsheng: “I’ll check their address right away.”

Heh heh, you little thing, see if you can run away this time!

Wang Hao spoke into the phone, “Yes, yes, yes, everybody is equal before the law, but I’m still very curious, how did my aunt become a suspect in smuggling? You’ve got to have evidence, right? To catch an adulterer, you need the couple; to catch a thief, you need the loot! What did my aunt do?”

Male voice, “Was your aunt in YN at 2 pm on August 3rd?”

Wang Hao, “No, I was at home playing games online!”

Male voice, “I’m asking about your aunt!”

Wang Hao, “Oh, got it mixed up, let me ask her… My aunt said she was at the market buying groceries at that time!”

Male voice, “Still trying to argue? Our records show she made a card payment of one hundred ninety-nine thousand eight hundred yuan at that time.”

Wang Hao, “Wow, you can even find that out? I’m impressed–but my aunt didn’t, she barely knows how to use a bank card!”

At this point, Kong Xingsheng’s side sent a message, “The phone signal originated in the city. We’re about to make an arrest. Distract him for about twenty-five minutes!”

Ha ha, grandma’s, let’s see how you’ll run this time!

It was clear the man still didn’t understand his situation, “Still not admitting it, are you? That card was issued by her at the Industrial and Commercial Bank last July, and after the transaction on August 3rd, it was destroyed. We have now contacted the bank’s customer service center and the public security bureau’s financial crime investigation department in preparation to file a joint lawsuit against you.”

Oh boy, this youngster sure talks slick!

Auntie Wu Qiong immediately became anxious, “Did you hear that? They said they’re going to sue me!”

“Don’t worry, Auntie,” Wang Hao patted her hand, “It’s all fake.”

Then he shouted into the phone, “Wait a minute, what did you just say? Who’s preparing to sue my aunt?”

Male voice, “The bank’s customer service center and the public security bureau’s financial crime investigation department.”

Wang Hao, “That’s not right, why would those two places sue her? Do they have the authority to sue? Normally, shouldn’t it be the court that sues?”

Male voice, “It’s the court!”

Wang Hao, “Wait a second, that doesn’t seem right either; courts can’t directly sue people. There has to be a plaintiff, right?”

Male voice, “Then it’s the bank’s customer service center and the public security bureau’s financial crime investigation department filing the lawsuit!”

Tong Tong immediately laughed and fell into her chair.

She looked at the grinning Wang Hao and thought, “This guy really can talk about anything at length…”

At that moment, the man couldn’t help but laugh too, he said to his mother, “Mom, did you see? This is what you call a professional, can tell right away what’s true and what’s false!”

Wang Hao, “I remember now! So it should be the prosecutor’s office suing me, right?”

Male voice, “Right, right, right, the prosecutor’s office!”

Wang Hao, “And they’re suing me for what?”

Male voice, “Smuggling!”

Wang Hao, “What did I smuggle?”

Male voice, “You smuggled… firearms!”

Wang Hao, “Hey, you can’t just spout nonsense like that! We have gun control in the Heavenly People’s Republic! And besides, weren’t you saying that my aunt was the one getting sued just now?”

Male voice, “Of course if it were something else could we sue you… your aunt?!”

Wang Hao, “Makes sense… What did you say your position was again?”

Male voice, “JH city criminal police brigade! And now we need you to come to our brigade to assist in the investigation!”

Wang Hao, “That’s not right, your procedure is wrong!”

Male voice, “What’s wrong with it?”

Wang Hao, “If my aunt committed such a big crime, how could you possibly call her first? Wouldn’t that be like tipping off the suspect?!”

Tong Tong laughed and fell over again.

Male voice, “I… I’m just trying to lull you into a false sense of security. Actually, our people have already been dispatched! Now I’m just giving you a chance!”

Right then, Kong Xingsheng’s message came through on Tong Tong’s WeChat, “Keep him fooled, our people are on their way!”

The group exchanged glances, all trying to hold back laughter, their faces nearly turning red!
