Chapter 138: Casually Caught a Fraudster
On the other side, two women hurriedly rushed over. Although intimidated by Lin Wan's imposing presence, they hesitated to approach, their eyes filled with a mix of pity, shock, disbelief, and a touch of helplessness.
Lin Wan looked up at them, "I'm a police officer. He's a suspect in a fraud case, and I need to take him back to the city bureau. You're also involved, so come along with me to give your statements."
Woman one, "Ah!"
Woman two, "What!"
Lu Zheng, "Really?!"
Lin Wan glanced at Lu Zheng apologetically, showing a face of innocence.
Lu Zheng pursed his lips, "So the theme park visit is over for today, isn't it?"
Lin Wan blinked, choosing not to respond.
Lu Zheng tried to negotiate, "Doesn't Disneyland have its own police station?"
Lin Wan blinked again, remaining silent.
Lu Zheng tapped his forehead, "Alright, let's go back together then!"
Lin Wan broke into a smile, "Give Xiumin a call."
"You're the expert, you call. I'll keep an eye on him." Lu Zheng shook his head, observing the bystanders who had lifted their phones. "Let's get this guy out first."
He didn't believe that the bystanders would leave the group just to record them.
"Okay." Lin Wan nodded, signaling Lu Zheng to take over.
Lu Zheng stepped forward, grabbed the man's shoulder clothes as Lin Wan stepped back, and with a lift of his hand, picked the man off the ground.
Seizing the moment, the man exerted force, but... couldn't break free!
Lu Zheng chuckled, Lin Wan had already practiced the Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques to the Sixth Form. Although far from complete, her physical condition had greatly improved. If a regular man could escape her hold, it would indeed be a joke.
Lu Zheng took over the man from Lin Wan, with Blood Qi penetrating his body, leaving the man weak and unable to resist.
Lu Zheng carried the man out, while the two women exchanged glances before following behind him, incredulously looking at the man and then at Lin Wan, who was making a call.
If the man hadn't just fled without a word, they wouldn't believe their considerate, tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend was a fraudster?
Lin Wan dialed Huang Xiumin, "Are you at the bureau?"
"I am. What's up? Weren't you guys going to Disneyland today? I was waiting to see you post some couple's photos on social media." Huang Xiumin's words carried a hint of jealousy.
Lin Wan smiled and sighed, "The trip is over."
"What happened? Why?" Huang Xiumin asked curiously.
Lin Wan chuckled, "Because I unknowingly caught Lin Jingnan."
Huang Xiumin paused for a moment before realizing, "That fraudster?"
"Hurry up and bring people to Disneyland. Lu Zheng and I will wait for you at the entrance."
"Got it!" Huang Xiumin didn't hang up, shouting in the group, "Captain Li! Lin Wan found Lin Jingnan in Disneyland and caught him. Let's go pick them up!"
He then said to Lin Wan, "You seem pretty happy."
Lin Wan was curious, "Of course I'm happy. Can't I be happy about catching a crime suspect?"
"Ha—" Huang Xiumin pursed his lips, "What about Lu Zheng's expression?"
Lin Wan blinked and glanced at Lu Zheng, who was dragging Lin Jingnan ahead, and whispered, "He's happy for me, of course!"
"I don't believe you!"
…
An hour later, at the entrance of Disneyland.
Three cars arrived in succession, with Li Jinglin, Liu Leng, Huang Xiumin, and another police officer getting out.
Beyond Lu Zheng, Lin Wan, Lin Jingnan, and the three women standing at the park entrance, Disneyland's management and the station's officers were also present.
Exiting the car, Li Jinglin first greeted Lu Zheng and then looked at Lin Wan, "Good eyes!"
Huang Xiumin approached playfully, "Lin Wan, you've become famous!"
"Famous for what?" Lin Wan looked perplexed.
Huang Xiumin waved his phone, "Female officer catches thief with bare hands, already ranked Top 3 on Hai City's trending list. The comments are full of praises, calling you beautiful and stunning. Haven't you seen it?"
Lin Wan doesn't use short video apps. Though Lu Zheng occasionally watched, he hadn't had the time while carrying the man, and as for the two women, they were in shock, with one comforting the other in low voices, naturally not having time to check their phones.
So Liu Leng stepped forward to take the man, giving Lu Zheng a moment to check his phone.
As expected, there were dozens of videos related to it, the trending one being the clearest.
Lu Zheng opened the video, and Lin Wan leaned over to watch together.
The video began with Lin Jingnan and the two women preparing to leave, followed by Lin Wan entering the frame, exposing Lin Jingnan's identity, then Lin Jingnan sprinting off, with Lin Wan immediately pursuing.
At this moment, the comments were flooded with "Epic moment ahead."
The next scene showed Lin Jingnan turning to punch, Lin Wan dodged and grasped him, taking him down in an instant — capturing the target.
The movements were suave! Elegant! Decisive!
The screen was filled with cries of "Wow!", accompanied by captions like "The young lady is fierce!", "Female cop, not to be messed with!", "Feel sorry for her boyfriend!" and the like.
"Feel sorry for me?" Lu Zheng chuckled, you guys probably don't know what it feels like to be clamped down by Lin Wan's legs!
Then Lu Zheng took over, taking Lin Jingnan from Lin Wan's hands, and they left together.
Only, with blood qi coursing through the body, releasing Lin Jingnan's resistance, even he himself thought it was mental tension combined with a full force burst leading to exhaustion. Let alone the people watching the video, they couldn't see anything at all.
Thus, the comments quickly decreased, the few remaining were "Weakling!", "Getting a female cop girlfriend is too stressful!", "Luggage boy!", "Sidekick!", "Extra guy!", "Get lost! You are not worthy of the cop young lady!"
Lu Zheng looked on, dumbfounded; Lin Wan watched with a big grin.
"Tch—" Lu Zheng showed disdain, "A bunch of ignorant folks, not knowing the true face of a high master."
Lin Wan laughed happily, clinging tightly onto Lu Zheng, "I think the video described it quite accurately."
...
After the video was over, Liu Leng stuffed Lin Jingnan into the car, while also sitting in the back seat.
Li Jinglin and the management of Paradise shook hands with the police station people, exchanged a few words, and then got into the car with a few others, driving off.
Three cars, Lin Jingnan in one, Woman One in one, Woman Two and her best friend in one.
Lu Zheng was in the second car, Huang Xiumin driving, Lu Zheng sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Wan and Woman One in the back seat.
At this moment, Woman One still had a stunned and incredulous expression, seeing the three of them not speaking, she couldn't help but speak out due to her inner panic, "So, is Lin Xuan really… a swindler?"
"Not yet." Lin Wan smiled and shook her head, seeing hope in Woman One's eyes, she spoke lightly, "Not sentenced yet, just a suspect."
Huang Xiumin added, "But the evidence is solid, more than three years is a sure thing."
Woman One, "..."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, you guys are so precise, it's easy to cause misunderstandings.
Then Woman One started crying, intermittently talking about her and Lin Jingnan, Lin Xuan's acquaintance.
The two met at a bar, started dating a month after meeting, during which Lin Xuan was generous, meticulous and considerate, coupled with his handsome appearance and wide gestures, made Woman One fall hard, eagerly wanting to talk about marriage.
"He never once asked me for money, how could he be a scammer?" Woman One was very confused.
Lin Wan smacked her lips, "You're a Hai City local, right?"
"Yes." Woman One nodded.
"How many houses does your family own?" Lin Wan continued to ask.
"Four houses." Woman One responded, then realized, but immediately shook her head, "But these are pre-marital assets!"
Huang Xiumin snickered, "You really think he would marry you, huh? Did he ever tell you how he made his money?"
Woman One thought for a moment, hesitantly said, "He said he was a financial analyst, making money, seems like… in a small circle's futures platform?"
Lin Wan said, "Regarding the concept of him making money, he has already instilled it in you for two or three months. If he says he learned of a very good trend through insider information, enough to make a killing once, and asks you to mortgage your houses for him to manage, promising to double it in half a month, would you believe him?"
Woman One was shocked.
Lin Wan said, "Next, how much you lose depends on how much you believe him."
Huang Xiumin laughed, "Hai City's four houses, even if they are all two-bedroom apartments, you could at least mortgage for ten million, have you thought about what to do after losing that ten million?"
Woman One was so scared that her cries stopped.
Mortgages can go up to seventy percent, losing these more than ten million, she would have to sell three houses to pay off debts.
"He previously…"
Lin Wan nodded, "There was already one victim."
Huang Xiumin followed up, "Guess he got cocky after succeeding once, went for two-timing, trying to scam two people at once."
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, blinked, stayed silent.
...
Very soon, the car drove directly into the city bureau's courtyard.
However, Lu Zheng was not from the city bureau, so after getting off the car and hugging Lin Wan, he left.
On the way, he first received a payment notification of more than sixty-four million, then immediately received a call from the auction house.
"Hello Mr. Lu, the Old Ginseng you consigned has been auctioned at our spring auction, after deducting management fees, auction fees, personal income tax, etc., your personal income is sixty-four million, which has been transferred into your account, please check."
"Received, thank you."
"Thank you for choosing our auction house, we've prepared a small gift and a membership card for you, can we send it based on the address you previously left?"
"Yes."
"Alright, thank you very much, wish you a pleasant life!"
After hanging up, Lu Zheng snapped his fingers, with sixty million accounted for, finally his funds loosened up again.
...
Returning home, he traveled back to ancient times for a spin, then returned, only to hear his phone buzzing continuously.
Picking it up, he saw that the "Script Kill" group chat he hadn't used in ages had already accumulated dozens of messages.
