Noticing that Lan Gang was somewhat embarrassed.

Luo Fei also suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is."

They went upstairs together.

As soon as Luo Fei entered the room,

he heard a slightly hoarse female voice coming from the living room.

"Mom, can you calm down?"

"I've already told you. These people are scammers, why do you still insist on transferring money to them!"

Almost at the same time,

the girl also saw Luo Fei and Lan Gang.

She quickly called out.

"Officers, please help me persuade my mom. She's just too stubborn!"

The girl was very troubled,

and her face was full of confusion.

Luo Fei had already heard on the way up.

This girl was Liu Yawen, the one who reported the case this time.

Her mother received a text message on her phone.

She was told she won a prize.

And it was a million.

But before she could receive the prize, she needed to pay some fees.

Incredibly, this lady transferred ten thousand without even thinking.

Then another ten thousand, and twenty thousand...

"So far, my mom has transferred over a hundred thousand to them. By the time she realized, their number was unreachable. Including the website they mentioned, it's now inaccessible too."

Hearing the girl's explanation,

her face turned red.

Luo Fei wasn't surprised,

because he'd seen similar scams many times before.

"Ma'am, did they leave you any phone numbers or websites, including the bank account numbers you transferred money to? You can tell me everything. I'll have our tech department investigate this case."

Upon hearing this,

the lady's pupils constricted.

"Officer, could it be? They said they were a legitimate company, backed by the bank. How could they possibly deceive me?"

"And they also said they'd refund the fees once they sent the prize money to me!"

Seeing the lady so stubborn,

the daughter almost fainted from anger.

"Officer, see how stubborn she is."

"I've told her countless times not to believe those people, but she just won't listen!"

Watching the girl was seething with anger,

as if blaming her mother for squandering years of savings.

Luo Fei hastily consoled her.

"Miss, please don't get upset."

Then he motioned to Lan Gang,

suggesting he take the girl outside to understand the situation.

He then sat opposite the middle-aged woman,

patiently trying to persuade her.

"Ma'am, you might not know. These people are actually overseas fraud gangs."

"Their websites are mostly abroad. Once the money in the bank account is transferred out, it gets dispersed into hundreds or even thousands of accounts. By then, even if we want to trace it, it's impossible to find."

Then Luo Fei explained some things about fraud gangs to her.

After hearing this,

the woman shivered all over.

"Does this mean I've really been scammed?"

Watching her pupils shrink,

as if she finally awakened from a dream.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Ma'am, though it might upset you to hear this, I have to say it's true."

Upon receiving Luo Fei's confirmation,

the woman's expression grew even more complex.

The next moment,

she couldn't help but cry out loud.

"What am I supposed to do, officer? If that's true, doesn't this mean I can never get my money back? That was supposed to be my grandson's tuition money, sob sob!"

Seeing her on the verge of a breakdown,

finally waking up from her dream,

the daughter at the door also looked ashen.

Her expression turned even icier.

"I told you so many times, but you wouldn't listen!"

She didn't speak,

but her expression said it all.

Smack!

But the next instant,

the middle-aged woman slapped herself across the face.

Then another slap…

"It's all my fault, I'm useless! If I weren't so stupid, I wouldn't have been fooled!"

Seeing her smacking herself,

her cries carried a sobbing tone.

She was more desolate than ever.

The daughter instantly softened,

"Mom, what are you doing, stop it!"

As her daughter clutched her arm tightly,

with tears welling up in her eyes,

the woman looked utterly desperate and asked,

"Officer, is there no way we can get the money back, do we have to watch them get away with it?"

Seeing the mother and daughter nearly desperate,

Luo Fei hastily reassured them.

"Please don't get too worked up. I understand this news might be hard to accept, but rest assured."

"We will actively investigate the case and try to locate the suspects as soon as possible. However, you may need to be patient until the truth is revealed."

Despite Luo Fei's comfort,

the girl still had little hope.

"Officer, if you can't uncover the truth of this case, just say so. It's okay, we won't blame you."

Seeing her indifferent face, her melancholic demeanor,

Luo Fei's expression turned serious.

"Miss, what do you mean by that? Have you lost faith in the police?"

Luo Fei was a bit puzzled and slightly surprised.

The girl swallowed,

neither confirming nor denying.

"Officer, isn't it obvious?"

"After all, we've heard of similar fraud cases before. In most cases, the case couldn't be solved. Even if they catch the culprits, the money is unlikely to be recovered."

Seeing her frustration, even a hint of hopelessness,

Luo Fei hastily comforted her.

"Miss, although this kind of case is tough, I hope you still have faith in our police. We will do everything we can to investigate the case and bring the truth to light as soon as possible.

Luo Fei said, preparing to leave.

At that moment,

Su Jianfan nearby also informed Luo Fei.

"Mr. Luo, this case is indeed more challenging. Moreover, the scammers' IP address is overseas. It might be very complicated to get to the truth."

Seeing Su Jianfan a bit embarrassed,

speaking with a hint of concern,

Luo Fei didn't respond,

he just said seriously.

"The harder the case, the more cautious we need to be."

"After all, someone has already been victimized. Others might soon encounter similar issues."

Generally, police do not easily report cases in progress,

especially criminal ones,

but this situation was different.

So Luo Fei decided to immediately contact the local TV station,

asking them to help spread the word, reminding the people to stay vigilant, and cautious.

To prevent further scams.

"Ring ring!"

At that moment,

Luo Fei's phone rang.

Picking it up,

a somewhat urgent voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Luo, it's not good. Something happened to Chen Meihong!"

Hearing Bai Rongjun's voice,

Luo Fei's expression slightly darkened.

He then asked.

"What happened?"

"Mr. Luo, I swear to God, I have nothing to do with this."

Hearing his uneasy and somewhat panicked voice,

Luo Fei hastily reassured him.

"Mr. Bai, don't panic. Stay where you are. Our police will send someone over to investigate."

20 minutes later,

near the intersection of Youth Road and Fukang Street,

Bai Rongjun was sitting on a bench by the roadside,

staring straight ahead,

his expression extremely tense.

And not far away, at the intersection,

there was a crowd gathered, watching.

Wailing sirens—

As Luo Fei got out of the police car,

he curiously asked.

"Mr. Bai, what exactly happened?"

Seeing Luo Fei's confusion,

Bai Rongjun quickly explained.

"Mr. Luo, just now, Chen Meihong arranged to meet me here. She said she wanted to discuss handling her father's affairs with me."
