Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Things went as Li Du expected. The anger of the old gentlen and ladies burst out
once they knew this was a big fraud, flooding the organizers.
Indeed, the mood among the tourists was even more violent than he had expected.
The police departnt had arranged for two cars to co and check things out. When the police officers found that there was a riot on the beach, they did not even dare to get out of the cars. The cars moved slowly on the beach and called for backup forces.
Four more police cars ca, and then even more from all directions, including an urban anti-riot vehicle.
Police arrested the scam organizers and broke up the tourist group to get everyone to calm down.
So old n and won were so emotional that they almost attacked the police officers.
Seeing this, the Australian police showed no leniency. They directly pinned the offenders to the ground with their shields, handcuffed them and took them away.
At this ti, the angry old people finally cald down. They found out that the foreign policen were not as timid and helpless as the police at ho. These policen reacted harshly to any violence, disregarding the attackers’ advanced age.
.
The police pinned down a few people, arrested a few more, and the rest of the group backed off.
However, even though they had cald down they had no place to go, as the police, saying that they needed them to assist in the investigation, took all the tour guides away.
Li Du and his parents, who were involved, could not leave. The police asked them to stay on the beach.
At this point, the contacts of the top Harry Winston group executives exercised their influence, and they were released without even needing to pay bail, as the three were victims.
So were outraged by this and asked, “Why are they allowed to leave and we have to stay here?”
The policeman shrugged and said, “They’re not with you.”
“But they also participated in the lucky draw. I recognize them, especially that young man. His surna is Li, he drew the grand prize, a big yacht,” a lady said anxiously.
“Would you like so coffee?” asked the policeman.
The lady was thrown off and said, “I want to know when we can leave.”
“Soon. We are not arresting you, we’re keeping you safe, and as soon as the investigation is over, we’ll let you go.”
“Okay,” the lady said, “I’ll have a cup of coffee.”
The policeman nodded, beckoned to his colleague, and said, “Here, get auntie a cappuccino.”
Li Du took the big yacht away, leaving no na.
He didn’t want to leave any tracks. After all, he took away the biggest prize, so the police would inevitably still want to talk to him.
However, the case had nothing to do with Li Du. The police only investigated and collected evidence, and even as such, the yacht could not be confiscated.
That evening, reports of the case appeared on the news.
The police had uncovered a major international fraud involving Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arican and British nationals.
The gang used free lucky draws as a pretext to contact travel agencies and offer them to take tourists to the event. The prizes were all fake or inferior products.
They made money by pretending to help the tax office collect taxes that did not match the value of the prize, and by charging visitors a commission for helping to sell the prize.
For example, when soone won a car, it would not be easy to take it back to their country. The scamr would sign a sales agreent with them, using the commission, site fees, labor costs, and other reasons, to charge them exorbitant sums.
After collecting the money, they would leave the city that very day, take the money and leave a pile of junk for the tourists.
This kind of fraud has occurred in several countries, but this was the first ti it happened in Australia, so the local police did not detect it at once.
The scam gang had succeeded many tis and could be considered powerful. Before, their grand prize was only a fancy car, but they decided to play a bit bigger in Sydney and added a luxurious yacht.
The yacht was the only genuine prize among them all. It had to be a genuine prize because they had to go through the Sydney officials to organize this lucky draw activity.
There was a prize checking session, and the yacht had to undergo it before the draw could take place.
They had planned to pull it off, take the yacht that sa day, and leave Australia with the money.
They had not expected that soone would win the yacht, uncovering the scam and costing them all their fortune Australians had no interest in news of this scam. It was just an after-dinner joke about the stupidity of the con man.
They did not think about the case in depth. However, the scamrs realized that sothing about Li Du was fishy, and they definitely thought this was more than a re coincidence.
However, they were going to be put in prison, and could not investigate this matter or prevent their loss.
Li Du was watching the news on board of his new yacht. He was extrely delighted to gain it for his own.
The yacht the scamrs offered as a grand prize was of the Manhattan55 model, and happened to be the first of its kind in Australia.
All luxury yachts needed to be customized. This one he now had was a sample. The scamrs had no ti to customize it and bought the sample ship at a high price.
However, if customized the M55 would be cheaper and would only cost about 4.5
million.
Compared to Li Du’s Starfish X60 yacht, this one was more advanced and luxurious.
The M55 had a smooth hull, three decks, perfect proportions and space utilization, dynamic shape and large internal room capacity.
Like the starfish X60, it had a double-deck driving area, all-weather comfort and a spacious cockpit that could accommodate a bed.
The ship was nearly 20 ters in length, with a roomy main reception area, a master bedroom, a large VIP cabin, and four small cabins. It had a fully equipped kitchen and entertainnt facilities.
Before, Li Du and the other seven or eight people felt crowded living on the Starfish, but they would not encounter this problem on the new yacht, which could easily accommodate seventeen to eighteen people.
In terms of power, the M55 adopted a strong and silent dual diesel engine and propeller.
Big Ivan said that this could be used as a backup. The two engines and propeller could each work alone at ordinary tis, and if one was broken the other could be used.
In the evening, Li Du could not wait to try out his new yacht, so he got on board to experience the feeling of driving it.
The yacht itself had a viewing loft where one could sit and watch the sun rise and set, or lie down on it and look up at the stars.
With more people, one could go to the salon area at the back of the yacht. In the stern, there was a sea-bathing platform that could be lowered and raised.
Anyhow, the yacht Li Du gained was a luxury offshore mansion!
