I have to admit that in addition to her strange focus sometimes, Shirley is definitely much more decisive than a grown man like Zhang Wei when she really makes decisions.

Zhang Wei was extremely irritated because he might have been defrauded of the 280,000 yuan purchase price, but Shirley just frowned and thought for a while, and soon made a decision.

"Call the police!"

"Lao Diao has been out of touch for a few hours. Would it be too hasty to call the police now? What if it's a misunderstanding?"

It's not that Zhang Wei has never thought about calling the police, but he still has some illusions.

"If you misunderstood, the worst thing you can do is apologize afterwards and call the police! Tell your family members to call the police immediately. If you call the police now, you might be able to get your money back."

"But……"

Zhang Wei was still hesitant, but Shirley seemed to be able to see through his mind and interrupted: "Are you worried that Xiaoxin is also involved?"

Zhang Wei remained silent. As Shirley said, he was worried that Xiaoxin and Lao Diao had conspired to set a trap for him.

"Then have you contacted Xiaoxin?"

"I called Xiaoxin, but no one answered..." Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.

As soon as he learned that he couldn't contact Lao Diao, he called Xiaoxin, but no one answered after he called three or four times in a row. Later, Xiaoxin's phone was turned off.

It is too coincidental that neither Lao Diao nor Xiao Xin can be contacted. It makes people wonder whether Xiao Xin and Lao Diao are in the same group.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Wei did not choose to call the police. He wanted to give Xiaoxin a chance and give a chance to the friendship between the two for more than thirty years.

"Call the police!" Shirley said to Zhang Wei: "I believe Xiaoxin is not that kind of person."

"Let me think about it again..."

Just when Zhang Wei was still hesitating, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he saw the name of the caller, he felt relieved.

"Xiaoxin, where are you now?"

"I just got home."

"You can't even get through on your damn mobile phone. I've been looking for it all night!"

Xiaoxin's words immediately made Zhang Wei a little annoyed. I was so anxious that I couldn't contact you, and you actually didn't come home until now.

"I answered your second brother's call and went over immediately. I left in a hurry and forgot my phone at home. As soon as I charged it and turned it on, I saw your missed call..." Xiaoxin explained, and then told Zhang Wei

Said: "Sorry brother, I really didn't expect Lao Diao to be a bastard."

After hearing what Xiaoxin said, Zhang Wei's anger was mostly gone, but he still blamed Xiaoxin for introducing a liar to him.

"Can Lao Diao still be found?"

"The bastard ran away. I asked my friends in black and white to look for him, but there is no news yet."

Zhang Wei sighed in disappointment. Since the old man dared to set up a trap to defraud money, he must have already thought of a way out. How could he be found so quickly?

At this moment, Shirley, who was listening carefully to Zhang Wei's phone call, poked Zhang Wei, and then reminded Zhang Wei with her mouth: "Call the police."

Zhang Wei nodded to show that he understood, and then said to the phone: "Xiaoxin, I am going to ask my family to call the police. Is there any problem on your side?"

Zhang Wei asked Xiaoxin for his opinion symbolically, but his tone already showed his attitude.

"I've already accompanied Lao Er to report to the police, but as you know, you know how people work here. If you want to find that bastard Lao Diao, you have to find a way on your own."

Zhang Wei knew that it was indeed what Xiaoxin said. This was not a major case of murder and arson. His family was not a high-ranking official. Some of the elders in the six gates were dragging their feet, waiting for them to catch them.

People cannot wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to pass.

After ending the call with Xiaoxin, Zhang Wei called his brother again to find out about the situation at home.

His mother definitely can't hide it, and now she doesn't dare to let his father know, for fear that his father will make a big fuss if he finds out.

Late at night, Zhang Wei couldn't sleep and went to the balcony to smoke. After being discovered by Shirley, the two discussed it on the balcony. Shirley also frowned and sighed, but no result was achieved.

There was nothing to say all night. Zhang Wei did not go to work at the company the next day and stayed at home waiting for news.

At the same time, he also wanted to calm down and think about what he should do next.

"If you can't get the money back, can you still buy the house in your hometown?"

During lunch, Zhang Wei and Shirley discussed the matter again. Shirley saw that Zhang Wei was still worried about getting the money back after a night, so she reminded Zhang Wei and asked him to remember his original intention.

What has happened, you can only try your best to recover the losses, but you cannot forget your original intention.

"I definitely still have to buy a house." Zhang Wei replied affirmatively.

He originally decided to buy a house because he couldn't bear the pain of his parents renting a small house the size of a palm, and also because he wanted the family to get together and celebrate the New Year lively in the future...

"That's it. Since you definitely want to buy it, David, you should look at the two things separately. We can only let nature take its course and do our best to be cheated. If we can't get it back, we can only treat it as our own.

We admit we are unlucky, but sooner or later we have to buy a house, so let’s buy it while we still have some money, so that we can enjoy it early.”

Shirley smiled. She was now able to look at the matter of being deceived calmly and consider what to do next based on the original purpose.

This is what Zhang Wei admires most about Shirley. She cares about small things but is decisive in big things. Just like buying a house in Shanghai when they first got married, Zhang Wei's idea was to start a business, but Shirley stubbornly insisted on buying a house, even though the two of them were different at the time.

She didn't even have enough savings for the down payment, so Shirley was determined to borrow money to buy a house.

After so many years, facts have proven how wise Shirley's decision was. If it had been delayed until now, the two of them might not even be able to find a toilet in Shanghai, let alone change to the big house they live in now.

It can be said that except for the bank loan, the rest of the current house was earned because of Shirley's decision.

"Let's do this. You stay at home and work with peace of mind. I'll go back to take care of the house in my hometown."

While Zhang Wei was still lamenting in his heart that Shirley was calm and composed, Shirley had already made a new decision.

Zhang Wei thought for a few seconds, nodded and said: "That's fine, but you have to take care of your health. You can let the second child do more errands. My parents, please help me enlighten me..."

Zhang Wei thought of something again as he said this: "By the way, you should pay more attention to safety when you go back. If something happens, don't be impulsive. Communicate with me first."

Zhang Wei was worried that Shirley would quietly follow up on the matter of being defrauded of money by Lao Diao. If she encountered any danger or was retaliated against, he was worried that she, a girl, would suffer a loss.

Shirley smiled and nodded: "Dear, don't worry, I went back mainly to settle the matter of buying a house. There's no point in trying my best to get cheated. By the way, I'm also going to be my prodigal mother-in-law again.

Ideological work.”

Zhang Wei felt relieved when Shirley said this, so Zhang Wei was busy helping Shirley pack her luggage and book flights all afternoon.

In the evening, Zhang Wei's brother called and told Zhang Wei the situation discovered by the police.

The investigation results proved that this incident was indeed a scam carefully planned by Lao Diao. The house in Fuxiang Community was indeed owned by Lao Diao and was indeed mortgaged by Lao Diao. However, the person who mortgaged the house was not Zhang Wei’s mother.

The man who accompanied him to redeem the house was Lao Diao's gambling friend and a bad gambler.

As a gambler, he must have money and want to gamble, so this guy was found by Xiaoxin's gangster friends in a casino in the countryside. In just one night, this guy got all the money from Lao Diao.

He lost all 100,000 yuan, which also means that the 100,000 yuan of the house purchase money that Zhang Wei was defrauded has been completely wasted.

If you want a gambler to repay his stolen money, it would be more realistic to cut off his kidneys and sell them. Of course, Zhang Wei only dared to think in his heart that he would not be able to do such a crazy thing.

This man was beaten up by Xiaoxin and sent to the police station. According to this man's confession, the whole thing was planned by Lao Diao. Lao Diao was the mastermind, and he was just an accomplice following Lao Diao's arrangements.

The house book that was given to Zhang Wei's mother was forged by Lao Diao for 200 yuan. Since the information in the house book was all true, the authenticity could not be determined by just looking up the information in the house book.

In addition, privately, few people go to the Housing Authority to register for private mortgage loans.

The queue situation that Zhang Wei's mother encountered when she accompanied Lao Diao to the Housing Management Bureau to handle the transfer procedures was also arranged by Lao Diao in advance. Lao Diao arranged for the person to wait until the planned time in the afternoon before handing the fake house book to Zhang.

Wei's mother, in order to make Zhang Wei's mother relax her vigilance and to make the scam more realistic, Lao Diao spent a small amount of money to hire some idlers to queue up, so that even after she got off work at the Housing Authority, it was not Zhang Wei's mother's turn to handle the business.

It was because of Lao Diao's arrangement that Zhang Wei's mother relaxed her vigilance. Otherwise, Lao Diao might not have had a chance to escape just by relying on the fake property.

As for Lao Diao's whereabouts now, this person doesn't know. After they divided the money, the two have no contact again, and Lao Diao has not disclosed his past location to him.

Zhang Wei learned about these situations from his brother, and Xiaoxin also called him not long after. In addition to telling some situations similar to what Zhang Wei's brother had told him, he also told some other situations.

Xiaoxin found the person who actually gave Lao Diao a mortgage loan.

It turned out that Lao Diao had mortgaged the real estate to another person a long time ago and borrowed 150,000 yuan, and the interest was not low. According to this person's estimation, Lao Diao Lian originally owed him almost 200,000 yuan.

Years ago, because Lao Diao failed to pay this person the interest on time for a long time, this person went to Lao Diao to collect the debt to no avail, so he gave Lao Diao a deadline. After the first month, if Lao Diao could not repay the principal with interest.

Come on, this person will bring someone to collect the house.

Lao Diao was definitely unable to pay off the usurious loan in such a short period of time, so he planned to sell the house and still have some money left after paying off the money.

After preparing to sell the house, Lao Diao went to communicate with this person. This person promised Lao Diao that he would not interfere with Lao Diao's sale of the house. As long as Lao Diao paid off the loan money on time, he could return the house title and mortgage contract on the spot.

Lao Diao.

According to this person's guess, Lao Diao might have really planned to sell the house, but when it came time to find a buyer, Lao Diao might have changed his mind. He probably thought that no matter what, the house would no longer be his.

, I thought it would be better to earn more money by doing a job, so I decided to cheat the money and run away.
