"Then, following your usual practice, you were persuaded by him and believed what he said. To prevent others from taking him away from you, you acted even more attentive."

"If he asks you for money, hesitate before agreeing. Ask for an online transfer, not cash. Transfer the money directly to his personal account."

"As for an IOU? I don't think he'll write one for you, so don't worry about it, let him be!"

However, Lan Weiwei remained hesitant and stammered. This kind of person might be described as someone who is cautious about their own safety when undertaking great tasks, yet forgets righteousness for petty gains.

"me…"

Li Mu smiled and pulled out his trump card; he didn't expect Lan Weiwei to agree so easily.

"Once this matter is settled, you'll definitely be able to get the money you gave Li Wei back."

"I've said this lottery ticket is yours from now on, and the money you get back is naturally yours too."

"Of course, if you don't agree, I'll have to take this lottery ticket back."

Lan Weiwei was reluctant to look at the lottery ticket worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in her hand. It was really painful to give away something she had already obtained.

She gritted her teeth and finally made a decision.

"I promise!"

Li Mu gave a hearty smile.

"Ms. Weiwei, it would be a pleasure to work with you."

Lan Weiwei managed a smile; she had experienced too much today, leaving her mind in a whirl.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Chapter 84, Strategy for the Eighty-Fourth Palm

A week passed quickly, and things proceeded smoothly according to Li Mu's plan.

That day, Li Mu drove to the outside of Lan Weiwei's residential area and sent her a message: "Fifty meters to the right of the gate of the residential area, I'm waiting for you in the car."

Afraid that Lan Weiwei wouldn't see it, Li Mu dialed the number again and sent it to vibrate.

The other end quickly replied, "Okay!"

Ten minutes later, the alluring and charming Lan Weiwei walked out with captivating grace, deliberately displaying her alluring figure in front of Li Mu.

Unfortunately, Li Mu's attention wasn't on that. Upon seeing Lan Weiwei, he asked, "Has the money been transferred?"

Lan Weiwei quickly said, "It's been transferred. As you requested, it was transferred directly to his personal account. Just like you guessed, he didn't write me an IOU."

Li Mu nodded: "How many times did you turn?"

"Two hundred thousand." Lan Weiwei felt a little guilty. She had received a total of two hundred and fifty-six thousand in bonuses. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get the money back, so she gritted her teeth and only gave two hundred thousand. In the end, she could keep some for herself.

Li Mu glanced at him but didn't say anything; 200,000 was enough.

Yang Tao's 400,000 yuan, plus this 200,000 yuan, brings the total to nearly 600,000 yuan.

According to the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate's "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Fraud" (Fa Shi [2011] No. 7).

The specific monetary thresholds for the crime of fraud are as follows: fraud involving public or private property valued at 6,000 yuan or more constitutes a "relatively large amount"; fraud involving 80,000 yuan or more constitutes a "huge amount"; and fraud involving 500,000 yuan or more constitutes an "especially huge amount".

Anyone who defrauds public or private property of a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance, and may also be fined.

If the amount involved is enormous or there are other serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.

If the amount involved is particularly large or there are other particularly serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have his/her property confiscated.

The combined amount defrauded of Lan Weiwei and Yang Tao has exceeded 500,000 yuan, which is considered an exceptionally large sum.

The minimum sentence is at least ten years. If another embezzlement case is added, he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

Sigh... Who told you to be so unlucky as to run into me! I guess it's a way of purifying the social environment and ridding the people of a scourge!

"Sit still, I'll take you somewhere!" Lan Weiwei behaved very obediently and sat down properly.

After driving for a while, the atmosphere became a bit quiet. Lan Weiwei tossed her hair, straightened her posture, and her chest curves became even more exaggerated. No wonder she's so slow-witted; all her brainpower is in there.

Looking at Li Mu, she said in a charming voice, "I just changed my clothes today, aren't they too revealing?"

Seeing that Li Mu remained unmoved, she tossed her hair, and the car was filled with the fresh scent of shampoo.

"Li Mu, Taozi said you haven't gone to see her these past few days. Take me out, aren't you afraid Taozi will get jealous?"

Li Mu said, "Although Taozi's heart isn't as big as yours, it's much broader. Don't worry, she won't be jealous. But you, you have a history of this, so you need to be careful."

Lan Weiwei blushed, her smile froze, and her proud chest shrank back, dropping considerably.

"No, how could that be...it can't be!"

Li Mu laughed and said, "That's good. You two are such good friends. After you've learned your lesson, I don't think you'll do it again."

Lan Weiwei quickly changed the subject.

Where are we going?

Li Mu said, "There are only a few minutes left. You'll know when we get there."

Lan Weiwei said "Oh" and sat there obediently without saying anything more.

The car soon arrived near a restaurant. Li Mu looked at the message Lao Liu had sent, then turned to Lan Weiwei and said, "Get out of the car yourself, pretend to be eating, and go to the second floor of this restaurant."

“Li Wei and another woman he was dating were having dinner together upstairs.”

"You pretend to discover them casually, go up and question them. The woman doesn't know you exist, so she will definitely question you in return."

"After you two had a fight, you discovered that Li Wei had lied to you. Not only did he not change, but he also had relationships with many women behind your back."

"You make a scene, call him a liar, break up with him, and it would be best if you smashed a few plates and kicked a few stools to completely break up with him."

After saying that, he looked at Lan Weiwei, who seemed a little timid.

"I'm just giving you a general direction. You're free to develop the specifics yourself. I trust your abilities. Just show your usual boldness, and you'll be fine."

"Get off the bus now!"

Lan Weiwei glanced towards the restaurant but didn't move. Instead, she said with a hint of fear, "I...I'm afraid...what if he hits me?"

Li Mu comforted him, "No, I'll stay here and watch. If he dares to lay a hand on me, I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Seeing Lan Weiwei still hesitating, Li Mu said, "What are you afraid of! It was Li Wei who messed around behind your back. You should be the one who should be afraid. He's the one who should be scared."

"Think about what Li Wei did and said. Don't you want to get back at him? Where did that spirit you had that you had when you went to confront Li Wei that day go?"

Lan Weiwei was finally persuaded. Thinking about what that scumbag Li Wei had done, she wanted to tear him to pieces. Why was she timid and afraid? She was on the side of justice.

Finally, I took a deep breath, got out of the car, and walked towards the restaurant without looking back.

……

Twenty minutes later, Lan Weiwei ran out of the restaurant with her hair disheveled, her eyes red, and a red handprint on one cheek.

Once in the car, she immediately lay down and started sobbing, looking extremely aggrieved.

Li Mu was speechless for a moment, then started the car and drove to a secluded place.

"What? He actually dared to hit you?"

Lan Weiwei kept sobbing, her expression even somewhat lost and dejected, and said, "I had a conflict with that woman, and he actually sided with her and started hitting me right away. He actually hit me so hard."

Clearly, Li Wei's slap not only shattered her pride but also destroyed the little illusion she held in her heart.

They really don't take her seriously.

Just a few days ago, she reconciled with Li Wei as planned, gave him another 200,000 yuan, listened to his perfectly logical explanation, and looked at his gentle attitude.

Lan Weiwei even wondered if Li Mu had made a mistake, or if she had made a mistake too, and if everything before was a lie. She thought Li Wei truly only loved her, and that the other women were just women he had shamelessly pursued; that Li Wei was innocent.

Today's events dealt her a severe blow, shattering her last shred of illusion. She realized that in his heart she was truly just an insignificant nobody, someone to be used and discarded.

Seeing Lan Weiwei's pitiful appearance, Li Mu said, "It's good to face reality. Don't worry, Li Wei will definitely pay back tenfold or a hundredfold for what he did."

After a while, Lan Weiwei finally calmed down, completely gave up, and her intelligence returned. She sighed, sat up straight, and asked Li Mu, "I understand. Thank you, Li Mu. What should I do next?"

Li Mu said, "In the next few days, Li Wei may use the same tactics as before to apologize to you, but don't be soft-hearted. You should scold him harshly, using the most offensive language possible."

"Even if he doesn't contact you, you should still contact him, scold him harshly, humiliate him, and do whatever you can to provoke him."

"If it's not hot enough, I'll give you the information on those women and stir up trouble in Li Wei's backyard, making him hate you as much as possible."

"I wish I could grit my teeth and beat you up just by mentioning your name."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone secretly protect you for the next few days and won't let him lay a hand on you again."

"Next, you should call him and ask for the money back. Not only is he a conman and greedy enough that he would never pay you back, but he's also burning with anger and hatred and is thinking about how to get revenge on you, so he's even less likely to admit to the debt."

"Given that he had previously swindled so much money from Taozi without any consequences, he didn't think there was much risk in doing this."

"It doesn't matter if he denies it. Just record all your calls. That will be the evidence. Call him every day to collect the debt. Block him and then call him again with a different number."

"By the time he changed his phone number, the timing was about right."

"Next, I will ask senior criminal investigation experts and lawyers to help you analyze the situation, improve the chain of evidence, and find out what is missing. We will also press Li Wei to come forward and create evidence himself."

"Once everything is ready, you can take these to the police station to file a report."

After hearing Li Mu's plan, Lan Weiwei was dumbfounded. She had just been fantasizing about how to get revenge on Li Wei, but compared to Li Mu's plan, it was child's play.

However, under these circumstances, he had no room for hesitation.
