Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 678 Wait a little longer

Yan Jiefang's Degeneration and the Fruits of His Own Sins In the small world of Siheyuan, Yan Jiefang was an ordinary young man. He was the second son of the third uncle Yan Bugui. He was born thin and small. He worked in a factory for a meager job and earned a meager salary. Seeing that the people around him were living better and better, Yan Jiefang began to feel unbalanced. He always wanted to get rich overnight and change his fate. One day, Yan Jiefang was in the rest area of ​​the factory and accidentally heard several workers talking about some ways to make money that had recently emerged, including the illegal act of speculation. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yan Jiefang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a broad road to wealth. From then on, he began to ask around for detailed information about speculation and gradually understood the "secrets" in it. At first, Yan Jiefang was just a small-scale operation. He used his connections in the factory to get some scarce daily necessities, such as soap and towels, and then secretly took them to the black market to sell them and earn the difference. Although he didn't make much money each time, this little sweetness made him taste the taste of "getting something for nothing", and his greed grew. As he became more and more courageous, Yan Jiefang was no longer satisfied with this small business. He began to plan a bigger scam. He spread the news everywhere, saying that he had an internal channel to buy low-priced imported electrical appliances and could make a lot of money by reselling them. In order to increase credibility, he also deliberately made some fake purchase orders and sales contracts and showed them to people around him. Many people were attracted by the bright prospects he described, and they found Yan Jiefang and wanted to participate in this "money-making project". Yan Jiefang pretended to be embarrassed and said that the number of places was limited and not everyone could participate. Those who were eager to make money gave him generous gifts in order to get a place, and paid the money for the purchase of electrical appliances in advance. Yan Jiefang looked at the increasing amount of money in his hands, and he was secretly proud of himself, thinking that he would soon become a rich man. However, the money was not used to buy electrical appliances, but was squandered by Yan Jiefang. He bought new clothes, went to high-end restaurants, learned to gamble, and lived a life of luxury. However, those who gave him money have not received the so-called imported electrical appliances. As time went on, people began to realize that something was wrong and came to Yan Jiefang to ask for money. Yan Jiefang was well prepared. He made up all kinds of excuses, saying that there was a problem with the goods during transportation, and then that there was a problem with the supplier. In short, he just dragged his feet and refused to pay. The first person to come to the door was Brother Li from the same hospital. In order to participate in this project, Brother Li took out almost all his savings, looking forward to making a lot of money to improve his life. But now not only has he not made any money, but even the principal has gone down the drain. How can he not be anxious? "Jiefang, when will the electrical appliances you mentioned arrive? My family is still waiting for money, don't fool me!" Brother Li said anxiously. Yan Jiefang smiled and apologized: "Brother Li, don't worry, this will definitely work, just give me some more time, wait a little longer, it will definitely work!" Brother Li looked at his hypocritical face, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose: "I have waited for so long, you must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will never let you go!" But Yan Jiefang still smiled and tried to perfunctorily pass it over. As more and more people came to collect debts, Yan Jiefang began to be unable to cope. In order to avoid everyone, he began to go out early and come back late, and sometimes even did not return home at night. But the creditors were not so easy to get rid of. They guarded the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as they saw Yan Jiefang, they immediately surrounded him. Once, Yan Jiefang was blocked by a group of creditors as soon as he returned to the courtyard. Everyone talked one after another, accusing him of deception. "Yan Jiefang, you liar, give us our money back!" "That's right, if you don't pay us back today, don't even think about leaving!" Yan Jiefang was surrounded, his face pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He tried to explain while looking for a chance to escape. Suddenly, he saw a gap, pushed the people around him away, and ran away. Seeing this, the creditors immediately chased after him, shouting, "Catch him, don't let him run away!" Yan Jiefang was like a frightened rabbit, desperately fleeing in the alley, but was eventually caught up by the creditors and pinned to the ground. "Let me go, I have money, I will pay you back, give me some more time!" Yan Jiefang struggled and shouted. "Time? You have deceived us for so long, who would still believe you!" the creditors said angrily. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong heard the noise and rushed over. Yi Zhonghai looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, frowned and said, "What's going on? Don't be impulsive, let's talk it out." The creditors talked one after another, telling Yan Jiefang about how he cheated money. After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face became very ugly. He turned to Yan Jiefang and said, "Jiefang, how could you do such a thing? Hurry up and return the money to everyone." Yan Jiefang lowered his head and said nothing. The matter did not end there. More and more people joined the debt collection team, and Yan Jiefang's life fell into chaos. Not only did he have to face the collection of creditors, but he also had to endure the accusations and scorn from the neighbors in the courtyard. However, Yan Jiefang still had no intention of stopping. He still fantasized about being able to cheat another sum of money and then fly away. In order to achieve this goal, Yan Jiefang came up with a more outrageous scam. He found some idle people in society and planned a so-called "investment company" together. They rented a simple office on the street, hung a sign, and began to solicit business from the outside. Yan Jiefang advertised everywhere, saying that their company had a professional investment team that could help customers get high returns in a short time. In order to attract more people, they also promised to let customers get part of the interest first to prove the company's strength. Some people who did not know the truth were deceived by their sweet words and handed over their money to Yan Jiefang's "investment company". Yan Jiefang used the newly defrauded money to pay part of the interest to the previous creditors to stabilize them. But this practice of robbing Peter to pay Paul cannot be sustained for a long time. As the capital chain of the "investment company" broke, the scam was exposed again. This time, the angry creditors no longer just came to collect the money, they chose to call the police.
