823 Fraud
Soon, it was time to knock off. Brother Xiong immediately took out a wooden stick and knocked on the steel. The sound it made immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the construction site.
“Everyone, listen to me. Just now, Boss Yang said that everyone has been working very hard recently. Therefore, he will treat everyone to a meal. Remember to bring the bill back. He will reimburse it.”
The workers did not suspect anything and immediately cheered before leaving the construction site with their arms around each other’s shoulders.
After they left, a big truck drove into the construction site. The person coming to collect the materials was a young man in his twenties named Gang Zi. He looked sloppy and cool.
As soon as he got out of the car, he observed the construction site and asked with a frown, “This construction site doesn’t look like it’s going to be demolished. Don’t tell me you’re stealing material!”
Brother Xiong’s face darkened and he was immediately displeased. “How is that possible? This construction site is indeed going to get demolished. If you don’t believe me, go and look around. Also, this is my relative’s project. He went bankrupt and wants to sell everything here. If you don’t want it, I can find someone else.”
Gang Zi no longer had any doubts and said, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t be in such a hurry. I was just asking. Alright, I’ll give you the price after I take a look at the materials.”
Brother Xiong brought him to the place where the materials were placed and waved his hand. “It’s all here. Take a look. How much can you pay for these things?”
When Gang Zi saw this scene, he started to doubt again. These materials were all good. It didn’t look like no one wanted it. Moreover, although there was no one at the construction site, he felt that something was wrong.
“How about this? I’ll go back and get someone to come help me load the things. I’ll settle the bill with you then,” Gang Zi said.
Brother Xiong frowned and refused, “No, if you want it, give me the money now. If you don’t want it, don’t waste my time.”
Seeing that he was determined, Gang Zi immediately went forward and said, “Alright, alright. I want these things. As for the price… I’ll give you 50,000 yuan. How about that?”
“50,000?”
Brother Xiong’s face darkened. He frowned and glared at him. “Do you think I’m stupid? These things are worth more than 100,000 yuan.”
Unexpectedly, Gang Zi was not anxious at all. He said with a smile, “Brother, the price I offer is already high enough. These are all second-hand goods. They’re not worth much at all. Besides, these goods have to be moved into the truck, right? You don’t want me to move them. I can only find someone to do it…”
Gang Zi used his glib tongue to bring the price down from 100,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan. Fortunately, Brother Xiong and the others were pressed for time. In any case, these things didn’t cost them a dime.
At the thought of this, Brother Xiong agreed.
When they got the money, the lackeys immediately became excited. Xiao Fang was also excited. However, she suddenly thought of something. “Eh, that’s not right. Didn’t Hou Zi and Song Zi go out together? Why don’t I see them?”
Hearing that, Brother Xiong and the others realized that something was wrong. They frowned and pondered. “That’s right. Where are Hou Zi and Song Zi?”
He immediately looked at Gang Zi. “Where are the people who went to look for you? Where did they go?”
Gang Zi grinned and pointed at the truck. “They’re in the truck!”
“In the truck?” Brother Xiong was stunned and asked in confusion, “What are they doing in the truck?”
As he spoke, he walked to the truck and was about to open the door when a few people suddenly came out. “Don’t move. We’re police. You’re suspected of serious fraud. Please come with us!”
