Chapter 299: Chapter 299 She Can’t Do Anything to Us_1

"You’re still pretending with me?" Feng Lijuan said with a cold laugh, "I’ll tell you what, I was just at the car dealership buying a car when I happened to run into Qin Jiarong also there to buy one. I was actually pretty happy and wanted to greet him."

"But he didn’t notice me and was bragging to a male salesperson about how he and a few others had scammed me. I heard it all, and he even said this was the second time you guys had scammed me."

"You’ve scammed me twice, each of you taking three hundred thousand from me. I suppose the owner of that restaurant last time was also someone you found. You truly are my ’good sisters’."

"Now, Qin Jiarong has already returned two hundred thousand to me. You and the other three must be together, right? I’ll give you one hour to transfer the money into my bank account—you know the account number."

"If I don’t receive the money in one hour, don’t blame me for being impolite to you!"

After speaking, Feng Lijuan hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line—

Zhao Hongmei and the others were shopping on a commercial street.

Listening to the beep-beep sound coming from the phone, Feng Lijuan’s face turned ugly.

"Amei, what’s wrong?" a sister asked.

"Feng Lijuan knows we scammed her." Zhao Hongmei said, leading the others to a secluded spot.

"What, how is that possible!"

"How could she possibly know? It doesn’t make sense."

"Yeah, we always talked about these things behind her back."

The three sisters couldn’t believe it.

"It’s true. It was that bastard Qin Jiarong..." Zhao Hongmei explained the situation.

"So that’s it. This bastard can’t keep his mouth shut, blabbers everywhere—doesn’t he know these things can’t be mentioned?"

"This bastard, he’s screwed us over."

"He’s really like a pig for a teammate."

The women all ground their teeth in anger.

If Qin Jiarong were here, he would probably be flayed alive by these women.

"I’ll call him first to confirm if it’s really true," Zhao Hongmei said.

Even though Feng Lijuan had been very detailed and they could almost confirm it was true,

she wasn’t satisfied and had to make the call herself.

"Right, right, we should confirm it first." The other sisters had no objections.

Zhao Hongmei dialed Qin Jiarong’s phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Sister Mei." Qin Jiarong’s voice came through.

"I’m asking you if you blabbed at the car dealership and Feng Lijuan overheard you and you also returned two hundred thousand to her?" Zhao Hongmei didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly started questioning.

"Sister Mei, it’s true," Qin Jiarong said bitterly.

He too was feeling really frustrated.

He was so close to joining the car owners’ club, and then it all fell through.

"Even if you slipped up and she overheard, you shouldn’t have admitted it."

"Haven’t I told you before, she can’t do anything to us."

"By admitting it and returning the money to her, you’ve put us in a bad position," Zhao Hongmei fumed.

"Sister Mei, I really didn’t want to admit it, but what she said... it scared me; I couldn’t hold out," Qin Jiarong said bitterly.

"What a loser! You’re a grown man; what could possibly scare you that much? Don’t make excuses for your cowardice!" Zhao Hongmei scolded.

"Fine, it’s already like this, I don’t want to talk anymore, goodbye." Qin Jiarong hung up the phone.

Being scolded by Zhao Hongmei really pissed him off.

He had his own temper too and wouldn’t just take Zhao Hongmei’s abuse.

He had intended to relay Feng Lijuan’s arguments to persuade Zhao Hongmei and the others to return the money.

After being scolded by Zhao Hongmei, he couldn’t be bothered to say it or to care anymore.

What happened to Zhao Hongmei and the others was none of his business anymore.

"Bastard, how dare you hang up on me!" Zhao Hongmei cursed furiously.

"Is it true?" one of the sisters asked.

"It’s true, and now we need to discuss whether to return the money to Feng Lijuan," Zhao Hongmei said, putting away her phone.

"I just bought a bunch of stuff, where would I get that much money to return?"

"Yeah, I just topped up my wellness club’s membership card with fifty thousand, I don’t have the money to return."

"I’m not giving it back anyway. The restaurant thing last time, all that contract signing and stuff, it wasn’t with us anyway, and this time it’s the same, we didn’t leave any evidence. As long as we stick to our story, what can she do to us?"

"Right, think we’re going to return the money? No way!"

The three sisters chattered away, all meaning the same thing: they weren’t going to return the money.

"Since that’s the case, then let’s not return it. Alan is right, as long as we firmly refuse to budge, I don’t believe she can do anything to us!"

Zhao Hongmei didn’t want to return the money either.

The money in hand could be spent, but returning it to Feng Lijuan felt like cutting her own flesh.

"Let’s go, continue shopping," she said.

The group continued their shopping.

An hour later.

Feng Lijuan drove her Maserati out of the dealership.

She hadn’t received a transfer from Zhao Hongmei and the others.

First, she drove the car out and parked it on the side of the road, then she dialed Zhao Hongmei’s number.

The call connected quickly.

"Zhao Hongmei, do you really not plan on returning my money?" Feng Lijuan asked sternly.

"Feng Lijuan, I don’t know what you’re talking about. We don’t owe you any money, so what’s this about returning it? If you keep this up, we can’t continue being sisters. Don’t call me again!" Zhao Hongmei said.

She couldn’t admit over the phone that she had swindled Feng Lijuan’s money.

If Feng Lijuan recorded the call, that would serve as evidence, and if Feng Lijuan went to the police, it would be the end for her.

After saying this, Zhao Hongmei hung up the phone.

"Bastard!" Feng Lijuan trembled with anger.

So these were her many years of sisterhood.

She had thought that she had a good relationship with these sisters and that they could support each other in times of need.

Only now she realized that these so-called sisters never considered her one of their own. They not only cheated her out of her money, but when things came to light, they refused to admit their wrongdoing and return the money.

With Zhao Hongmei and the others not returning the money, she was indeed in a tough spot.

She knew she didn’t have any evidence, and going to the police would be useless. She had to think of other ways.

But what could she possibly do?

Confront them at their homes, corner them at their doorsteps?

Would that even work?

If they were unwilling to return the money, they probably had already anticipated this move and thought of countermeasures.

After considering her options, Feng Lijuan decided to dial Liu Chao’s number.

The call connected quickly.

"Feng Auntie, you’re missing me already?"

At the time, Liu Chao was in the president’s office at Wansheng Venture Capital.

Alone in the office, he couldn’t help but speak sweet nothings.

After two meaningful interactions, their relationship had become different.

However, Feng Lijuan was not in the mood for such sentiments and went straight to the point: "I’ve been cheated out of over a million, can you help me get it back?"

The only person Feng Lijuan thought could help her was Liu Chao.

"Who cheated you?" Liu Chao didn’t immediately agree to help; instead, he decided to first understand the situation.

If the fraudster was too hard to find, even he wouldn’t be able to retrieve the money.
