Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 529: Chapter 525: Life Imprisonment (Third Update, Subscription Requested)

Many people had already noticed that these few were scammers.

And this time, they were scamming for a million dollars.

”Young man, there’s no need to pay so much money.”

”Exactly, just now the old lady was fine, and now she’s obviously pretending.”

”Young man, if it doesn’t work, call the police. Even if it went to court, you might not have to pay so much.”

Ye Chen said calmly, ”Alright, make the transfer quickly. I still have things to do.”

The bald man quickly took out his phone, ready to report the account number.

The woman beside him frowned.

She felt something was off.

This young man isn’t stupid, so why would he pay so much at once?

She pulled the bald man aside and whispered, ”Husband, I feel like there’s something wrong with this guy; we shouldn’t take this money.”

The man frowned as well, feeling a bit suspicious.

Indeed, everything was going too smoothly.

But, it’s a million dollars, how could he not be tempted!

At that moment, Yang Xiaozhi couldn’t hold back.

”Why give them money? These people are clearly scammers.”

Ye Chen said, ”Even if these people are scammers, there’s nothing we can do. They have video evidence, and you don’t have witnesses, so just accept the bad luck.”

Yang Xiaozhi saw Ye Chen wink at her, realizing he had a plan to deal with these people, and quickly cooperated in the act.

Yang Xiaozhi was originally an actress, so acting was naturally her specialty.

She shyly grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and said, ”Honey, you’re so kind. I’ll never meddle again when I see an old lady fall to the ground.”

Even though it was acting, calling him honey made Yang Xiaozhi’s face turn red.

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so Ye Chen couldn’t see it.

Ye Chen cooperated perfectly too, affectionately patting her head and smiling, ”Okay, good girl, isn’t it just a million dollars? Consider it feeding the dogs.”

The bald man saw this and didn’t notice any flaws, so he reported the account number.

Ye Chen directly transferred the money to the man’s account. The man’s face showed joy as the million dollars arrived.

Even though the woman wanted to say something, a million dollars was indeed a huge sum for them.

Upon seeing the money arrived, the man smiled brightly.

The crowd around them secretly shook their heads.

”This young man is really too naive.”

”Yeah, the more you look, the more these people seem like scammers.”

”I just heard them talking; it seems they’re all from the same family?”

Seeing the four people showing happy expressions, even a fool could tell they were in cahoots.

Ye Chen sneered, ”So? Did the money arrive?”

The bald man nodded excitedly, ”Yes, it’s here. I’ve received it.”

Ye Chen said, ”But if this million was really because my girlfriend hit the old lady, we could consider it medical expenses. But if you guys extorted us, a million dollars would likely get you a life sentence in prison.”

The bald man was stunned upon hearing Ye Chen’s words and then sneered, ”Of course it was your girlfriend who hit my mother. Do you have evidence for the scam?”

Now that the bald man had the money, he just wanted to get out quickly and celebrate.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”In fact, you might not have noticed, but there’s a camera over there. Everything here would have been captured on tape. Whether it’s a scam or not, the police can check the footage.”

Their faces changed upon hearing this.

They had checked; there were no cameras around when they started the scam.

It was only now that they noticed the camera at the opposite supermarket was indeed facing their direction.

Just moments ago, they were feeling so smug, but their expressions suddenly changed.

The woman couldn’t help but say, ”It’s all your fault, being greedy. I told you we shouldn’t take the money, but you insisted. Now what are we going to do if we end up in prison? What about our kid? You’ve trapped me!”

Upon hearing the woman call the man ’husband,’ there was an uproar.

”Damn, so they really are a family.”

”Turns out they’re scammers. We can’t let them go.”

”It’s too despicable. I’ve already called the police; they must be caught.”

”This young man even gave them a million. Too rash.”

Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, the bald man’s face turned utterly grim.

Once the woman called him ’husband,’ everything was exposed.

At this moment, the woman didn’t care about anything else, dropping to her knees in front of Ye Chen.

”Mister, we were wrong. We’re scammers. Please forgive us, we’ll return the million immediately.”

”Return my ass, are you crazy? It’s a million!” The old man couldn’t hold back any longer and yelled angrily.

The old lady on the ground suddenly no longer felt any pain in her leg and stood up: ”You stupid woman, scared so easily. Why shouldn’t we take a free million from this guy?”

By now, everything was completely exposed.

The woman was now shaking in fear.

She had kids; what would happen to them if she went to jail?

”Sir, we’ll return the money to you. Just spare us,” the woman said.

The bald man, unable to contain his anger, slapped the woman.

”You stupid woman, our family finally hit the jackpot, and you can’t stand to see me earn money?”

After getting hit, the woman couldn’t help but cry.

”I’ve told you we shouldn’t do such heartless things, but you guys insisted on scamming, for a million! This is a serious crime. If we go to jail, what about our kids?”

It has to be said that at least this woman had some sense.

The surrounding crowd gasped.

If it were just a thousand or two, they might only be detained for a few days. But a million?

By now, everyone understood why this young guy transferred a million to them in the first place.

However, everyone felt satisfied, knowing that people like them, who have destroyed the social ethos of helping others, deserved no less than a life sentence.

”Exactly, who knows how many people this family has scammed. I feel life imprisonment is too light; they should be executed.”

”Yeah, in the future, we might fall and not be helped because of people like them. Serves them right.”

”We can’t let them go; we have to call the police and get them caught.”

At this point, the crowd fully realized what was going on.

The old man, now afraid, hurriedly said, ”Young man, show some mercy. We’ll return the money; just let us go.”

Ye Chen coldly laughed, ”Show mercy? Did you think about mercy when you harmed others?”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Awhile ago, an old lady fell, and because no one dared help her, she died.

The reason for this situation was because of too many scammers.

Therefore, these people deserved to be dealt with and got what they deserved.

At this moment, the sound of sirens could be heard from afar; the police had arrived.

Upon hearing the sirens, the man’s face turned even more unsightly.

The old lady’s legs gave way, and this time she really collapsed to the ground.
