The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Xu Yingying subconsciously reached out and gently pushed Lin Weiye away, and responded coquettishly: "Oh, I'm not angry!" Before she finished speaking, she blushed and quickly left the place.

She was definitely not confused by hearing his raspy voice.

Thanks to the beautiful photos taken by Lin Xinyi, children's clothing sales have unexpectedly surpassed women's clothing in recent times. With the New Year approaching, many mothers have brought their lovely children to buy new clothes, preparing to happily welcome the Spring Festival.

Wu Yufei said to Xu Yingying with great joy, "Thanks to these beautiful photos, sales of children's clothing in our store have been unstoppable, even surpassing women's clothing!"

Xu Yingying nodded thoughtfully and responded, "Perhaps it's because it's Chinese New Year, and everyone wants to dress up their children. But after the Chinese New Year, I think sales of children's clothing will decline."

Wu Yufei then began to calculate excitedly: "If we add in this month's considerable profits, we should be able to recover more than half of our previous investment!"

Xu Yingying smiled in agreement and encouraged everyone confidently: "If that's the case, then we must continue to work hard and go all out to try to make back all our initial investment in just six months!"

At this moment, Yu Lili beside her suddenly asked, "Yingying, are you planning to go to the bank later?"

Xu Yingying asked curiously, "That's right, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Yu Lili looked anxious and quickly explained, "I received a call from home last night saying that my grandmother was sick and in the hospital. I wanted to take advantage of going to the bank with you to transfer some money to my mother for an emergency."

Hearing this, Xu Yingying agreed without hesitation: "No problem, let's go to the bank together later!"

After arriving at the bank, the two began queuing to process their transaction. Suddenly, a frantic, gray-haired old woman rushed in. Her breathing was rapid and her emotions were agitated. She rushed to the counter and shouted to the teller, "Hurry up! Transfer the money to me! This is my son's life-saving money! There's no time to waste!"

Xu Yingying, who was standing not far away, happened to hear the old lady's anxious words. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, secretly feeling that something seemed amiss. Why did this situation sound so similar to those common telecom fraud cases?

Filled with doubts and worries, Xu Yingying couldn't help but step forward and asked softly, "Grandma, don't be anxious. Can you tell me what difficulties your son has encountered? Why do you need to send this life-saving money so urgently?" However, before Xu Yingying could finish her words, the old lady turned her head abruptly, glared at her with wide eyes, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Humph! I don't even know you, why are you asking so many questions? Don't get in the way of my work here! This is a matter of life and death for my son. If you delay and cause my son to have an accident..."

Seeing the old lady's excited reaction, Xu Yingying didn't know how to respond for a moment. At the same time, the bank staff nearby also noticed something was wrong and hurried over to ask with concern: "Grandma, please calm down first. Can you tell me in detail what's going on with your son?"

"My son! He has been working in Whale City to make a living. He just called me and told me that he had an accident on the construction site! A big rock fell and hit his leg directly, breaking all the bones! Now he urgently needs this money for surgery. Please stop asking questions and wasting time. Please help me transfer the money as soon as possible!" As the old lady spoke, she became more and more emotional, tears streaming down her face, and her voice trembled because of crying.

Xu Yingying frowned upon hearing this and turned to the bank staff nearby, as if hoping to get some help or instructions. Then, she turned back to the old lady and softly asked, "Grandma, don't cry yet. I just want to ask, who are you sending the money to? Also, have you personally confirmed this with your son over the phone?"

"Oh, why are you so nagging and annoying, girl! My son is lying in the operating room right now, how could he have time to answer my call! It was his co-worker who called to tell our family, and he even knows my son's name!" The old man glared at Xu Yingying angrily, and he was really annoyed with this little girl who kept pestering him with questions.

Seeing the old man's attitude, Xu Yingying shook her head helplessly and slowly took a few steps back. In fact, she was already 80% sure that the old man had been the victim of a telecom scam.

Scammers often fabricate various excuses, such as a family member being injured and needing an urgent remittance to pay for surgery, specifically targeting unsuspecting elderly people like this one. However, this scam is only just beginning to gain popularity in China, and most ordinary people lack sufficient vigilance and awareness of it.

Although Xu Yingying is not a pushover, she has a kind heart. When she saw the elderly man with gray hair and wrinkles about to be scammed, she felt sorry for him. So, after a lot of mental struggle, she finally decided to stand up.

Xu Yingying quickly walked up to the lobby manager and anxiously explained the whole story in detail, pleading with them to find a way to stop the old man and not let him easily remit the money. At the same time, Xu Yingying quickly called the police.

Not long after, the sound of sirens came from far away. Coincidentally, the police officer who came to handle the case this time was Officer Huang, whom Xu Yingying knew.

After listening to Xu Yingying's description of the incident, Officer Huang frowned slightly. With his years of police experience, he immediately noticed many suspicious points behind the incident. He then approached the nervous elderly woman and, in a kind and calm tone, began to ask her about the details.
