"Buzz... Boom!"
As they were talking, a fierce roar suddenly filled everyone’s ears.
Then, a jet-black Panara ca speeding to a halt by the road. A young man stepped out, his deanor graceful, dressed in a Burberry trench coat.
Yang ifeng recognized him imdiately and waved, calling out, "Xiao Cheng, Auntie is here, co over quickly."
Upon hearing her voice, Cheng Wanfeng walked over. He took off his sunglasses and said politely, "Auntie, what’s going on? Why is there such a crowd here?"
"Can’t you see? We’ve been scamd," Mo Han shot back.
Cheng Wanfeng, recognizing the voice, turned around and noticed that it was Ning’er’s good-for-nothing husband—Mo Han. What was he doing here?
"I was talking to Xiao Cheng, mind your own business!"
Yang ifeng glared furiously at Mo Han, then quickly put on a smile and said, "Xiao Cheng, these uncles and aunties, including myself, we’ve been tricked. The company lured us to invest, promising to pay us interest by yesterday, but even until today, we haven’t received a cent!"
"We ca here to seek an explanation, but they said the boss isn’t around, and they refuse to pay the interest or return the principal! Is this sothing a human being should do?"
Her voice paused, and under the expectant gaze of her mahjong friends and sisters, she awkwardly added, "All of us invested behind our families’ backs; it’s not convenient to create a scene. Xiao Cheng, your family has so much clout in Jiangnan; surely you know a lot of people. Can you help us talk to the company’s boss to get our money back?"
Once Cheng Wanfeng heard her story, he realized that these seniors had been scamd.
If it had been in Jiangnan City, it wouldn’t have been a big deal; he could have solved it with just a phone call.
But this was Jiangling City, where even a powerful dragon wouldn’t suppress a local snake. Those in this business in Jiangling surely must have connections. Maybe even people from gray areas are involved. It wasn’t going to be easy!
Cheng Wanfeng hesitated. Luo Ning’s enchanting face kept flashing before his eyes. When he looked up, his gaze t with Mo Han’s, and he could sense that the man was mocking him.
"Damn it!" Cheng Wanfeng cursed under his breath, then put on a smiling face and said, "I thought sothing major had happened. Turns out it’s a scam, alright. Leave this matter to . I’ll get a friend to handle it, just wait a mont, Auntie."
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Yang ifeng expressed her gratitude, quickly handing over a bottle of Evian mineral water she had bought from the supermarket, "Xiao Cheng, here, have so water."
Witnessing this scene, Mo Han shook his head. He had been hollering for over twenty minutes without a single word of thanks from his mother-in-law. Xiao Cheng had only been here for a few minutes and already received thanks and water.
"i Feng, we’re all good friends. Since Xiao Cheng has a way, why don’t you ask him to help us too?"
"Yes, please. I’ve even mortgaged my house for this investnt, i Feng. You wouldn’t just stand by and watch beco holess, would you?"
As Cheng Wanfeng confidently reassured them that he could retrieve their money, the surrounding seniors imdiately surrounded Yang ifeng, fawning over her.
Yang ifeng had never felt so important before. She glanced cautiously at Cheng Wanfeng and ventured to ask, "Xiao Cheng, these are my neighbors and friends. They have also been swindled of their hard-earned money. If it’s possible, could you ntion this to your friend?"
Cheng Wanfeng could see that Yang ifeng was seeking a sense of vanity. However, he thought that winning her over would be equivalent to gaining half of Luo Ning’s favor.
He gestured grandly, chuckling, "Alright, for Auntie Yang’s sake, I’ll take care of this favor!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone cheered, clapping their hands and praising Cheng Wanfeng and Yang ifeng to the skies. To the uninford, it would seem as if Cheng Wanfeng was Yang ifeng’s son-in-law.
Cheng Wanfeng basked in the adulation, and after several minutes, he finally took out his phone to make a call, "Hey, Lu Shao, it’s , Cheng Wanfeng. Rember at the bar, you said you knew several big shots in Jiangling City? Need your help with sothing..."
After the call, the place erupted in applause, and everyone looked at Cheng Wanfeng with grateful eyes, as if this young master Cheng could recover their investnt in AoXiang Company at any second.
Cheng Wanfeng hadn’t felt this level of adoration in a long ti. His confidence was soaring. He gestured for silence and cleared his throat, "Don’t worry, everyone. I’ve already called my friend, and it won’t be long before we get a response!"
With that, he turned towards the company’s entrance, "Let go in and have a chat with their boss. Out of respect for , they will surely give you a refund!"
Yang ifeng nodded, getting a bit carried away herself, "Xiao Cheng, Auntie will go with you."
Normally, she wouldn’t dare to draw attention to herself, but with Cheng Wanfeng by her side, and considering his identity as the scion of the wealthy Cheng family, who would dare to make things difficult for him?
Cheng Wanfeng walked in, and Mo Han couldn’t care less; however, if his mother-in-law were to go in, that made him anxious as he blurted, "Mom, I advise you not to go. It’s complicated in there, and you might end up in trouble."
Those bold enough to scam so many people, with the amounts being in the millions, surely had so backing. He simply didn’t believe they were unsupported.
His mother-in-law had a fiery temper, and barging in would definitely an facing setbacks.
"Who are you calling mom? I’m not your mom! You useless layabout!" Yang ifeng whirled around, unleashing a tirade of insults at Mo Han, "Xiao Cheng has such powerful connections, who are you to question him? Get lost!"
