Chapter 319: Chapter 319 Restrain Greed_1

Peng Kangmao said, "Miss Feng, how about this, I’ll take you to see my company and check the financial records. After you’ve seen them, you can decide whether to invest or not, what do you think?"

Feng Lijuan thought for a moment and nodded, "That’s fine."

A joyful feeling surged through Peng Kangmao’s heart. "Then let’s set off right away, I’ll take you there."

Feng Lijuan shook her head, "Not now, I need to buy groceries and go back to cook lunch. How about we go in the afternoon?"

Peng Kangmao didn’t want to appear too eager, so he said, "Oh, that’s also fine. What time in the afternoon?"

Feng Lijuan thought for a bit and said, "How about three o’clock in the afternoon? After lunch, I need to rest for a while."

Her life was so comfortable now. She had nothing to do, so a nap was essential.

Peng Kangmao thought to himself that this woman really did have a good life, no wonder those guys had chosen to target her.

Gathering his thoughts, he smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll just wait here for you. When it’s time, you can come and find me, and I’ll take you to the company."

"Ok," Feng Lijuan nodded, picking up a company brochure from the table, "I’ll take this back to look over."

Perfect, she could use this opportunity to check if the company was reliable.

"No problem, it’s meant for people to look at. Taking it back with you to review is a good thing. It really proves you’re interested in investing," Peng Kangmao said with a smile.

"I’ll get going then, see you this afternoon," Feng Lijuan nodded, took the brochure, and left to visit a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

Before long, Feng Lijuan had returned from her grocery shopping.

Seeing Peng Kangmao still sitting under the tent, she just nodded slightly and entered the residential compound.

Once Feng Lijuan had entered the compound, Peng Kangmao stood up and left, crossing the street to enter a hotel opposite, and proceeded to a room on the fifth floor.

Entering the room, several women appeared before him.

"I saw Feng Lijuan talking to you just now, how did it go?"

"Did she take the bait?"

"With Feng Lijuan’s personality, this kind of opportunity, she’ll definitely bite," one said confidently.

"Exactly, I can’t believe she wouldn’t be tempted!"

These women were Feng Lijuan’s former close girlfriends.

They couldn’t stand that they had cheated Feng Lijuan out of her money only to have her demand it back.

That same night, they had gathered together to scheme, trying to come up with a way to continue deceiving Feng Lijuan out of her money.

Since their relationship with Feng Lijuan had already collapsed, they couldn’t show their faces and had to find someone else.

So, they found Peng Kangmao, an old hand at swindling and cheating.

Zhao Hongmei was the one who had found him; she knew Peng Kangmao.

Peng Kangmao spent his days idling and engaged in shady dealings, living quite a good life, much better than that of an ordinary office worker.

This guy had even registered a company.

He used the company to specifically scam people into investing and buying shares.

After swindling money once, he would dissolve the original company and register a new one, so that the company would carry no bad record.

The money from the investors would all end up in his pocket.

The contracts signed with the investors were all fake.

He had a different company seal made, with small alterations, not quite the same as the real one, yet most people wouldn’t notice unless they looked carefully.

The signature was also different from the standard ones, which made faking it even easier.

Nobody could do anything even if they sued him.

His response was always the same: the signature wasn’t his, the seal wasn’t the company’s, and it had nothing to do with him.

This setup allowed him to scam a few people every year, with an annual income of about 1.5 million yuan—he simply couldn’t be living any better.

In the past, he operated alone and on a smaller scale. The marks weren’t that rich, and it was considered good to scam a few hundred thousand from one person.

This time, he was about to scam 1.5 million yuan at once—it was a substantial amount.

Split five ways, that was 300,000 yuan each.

The women said that Feng Lijuan was easy to deceive, and indeed she was.

As long as Feng Lijuan went to the company, he was confident that he could get her to sign the contract and pay on the spot.

"Heh, she’s taken the bait. She’ll come to the company at three this afternoon. Just lead her there, and the money will be in hand!" Peng Kangmao said with a chuckle.

After that, he briefed them on the situation just now.

"That’s great!"

"The 300,000 yuan that Feng Lijuan took back will be in our hands again."

"Haha, Feng Lijuan would never guess that this is a trap we set up."

"Of course, if she could have guessed, she wouldn’t have been so easily scammed by us in the past."

The sisters were overjoyed.

It must be said, Feng Lijuan really was a fat sheep.

And a very easy one to slaughter at that.

Initially, they thought it might take a few days to hook Feng Lijuan.

They were even prepared for a long-term play of a month, where Peng Kangmao might have to take the initiative to make contact.

Unexpectedly, it was only the first day, and Feng Lijuan had already taken the bait, and it was her who initiated the inquiry. This made her even less likely to suspect anything.

"This former sister of yours is really rich. I think we’re scamming too little by aiming for 1.5 million yuan this time. I’m not too familiar with her situation; you only told me she had roughly 1.5 million in cash. But from what I see, she must have more than that. The watch she wears is Cartier’s latest model for women. A friend’s wife just bought the same watch a few days ago for 1.8 million." Peng Kangmao added.

"What, a 1.8 million yuan Cartier watch!"

"Didn’t she go back for her old Patek Philippe watch? How come she switched to Cartier, and one that costs 1.8 million at that?"

"Even if she took our money back, she wouldn’t buy such an expensive watch, would she?"

"She must have more money, or maybe she’s had new income recently. Could it be that her daughter Chen Yuting and Shen Dong got back together?"

"Possibly. She bought the watch and still has money to invest. If it’s not because Chen Yuting and Shen Dong got back together, if it’s not Shen Dong giving her money, then where is the money coming from?"

"This Feng Lijuan really has good fortune, to have such a son-in-law."

"No matter, her money has our share too. We can continue to fleece her."

"Exactly, we fleece her of 1.5 million today, and next time we take even more."

The group was a mix of surprise and envy, then quickly turned to pleasure, as if Feng Lijuan was their personal ATM.

"Peng Kangmao, can we take a little more this time?" Zhao Hongmei asked.

She wanted to take more today.

The other three women were also looking at Peng Kangmao, obviously thinking the same thing.

"No, I said 1.5 million. If we demand more, she might become suspicious, and we might end up not getting a single penny." Peng Kangmao shook his head.

He too wanted to take more but remained sensible.

He managed to stay in this business because he knew the most important thing was to keep his greed in check.

He couldn’t let momentary greed ruin the entire plan, or else in the end, all his efforts would be for naught. He had seen too many of his peers have such experiences.

As an evergreen in the world of scams and frauds, he wouldn’t make such mistakes.
