Inside the room, two men and a woman crouched in the corner, while Chen Wei stood nearby, coldly observing them.

Qi Yun walked in slowly, his gaze swept over the three people curled up in the corner, finally landing on the footprint on Chen Wei's chest, and he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Even though Chen Wei rarely took action, he was someone who dared to spar with brown bears, so his capabilities were evident.

How could he have been kicked by someone now?

Chen Wei pointed to a dark-skinned man beside him, "This guy's got some skills, must have trained before."

Qi Yun nodded, his gaze again swept over the three, and he chuckled softly, "Let me ask a question, were you the ones who scammed the solar project recently?"

The three in the corner exchanged looks but didn't speak, a hint of caution in their eyes.

The dark-skinned man gritted his teeth, turned his head away, looking a bit defiant.

The other middle-aged man with glasses lowered his head, expressionless.

Only the woman with a delicate appearance raised her head, looked straight at Qi Yun, and showed no signs of panic.

"Sir, you shouldn't talk nonsense, we didn't commit any fraud here."

"On the contrary, you two barged into our house inexplicably and injured us, which is illegal, don't you know?"

Qi Yun looked at the woman with interest, his smile unwavering, "Then shall I help you report to the police?"

The woman shrugged indifferently, "Alright, thank you then."

Qi Yun slowly approached the woman, squatted down, took out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and handed it to the woman, "Go ahead, I've dialed the number for you."

The woman looked at the phone Qi Yun handed over, smiled slightly, and reached out with her right index finger to press the call button.

Qi Yun watched as the call went through, appearing calm on the surface, but his mind was filled with doubt.

Are they really unafraid?

Or is it simply strong nerves?

Before the call connected, he quickly hung up.

Then he stared directly at the woman, chuckled, "Haha, you're quite interesting."

The woman, watching Qi Yun hang up the call, smiled even more provocatively and raised her chin, "What, don't dare to let the police come?"

Qi Yun didn't get angry, looked at the phone screen, found Hong Weize's number and dialed it.

The call was quickly answered, and a hearty laugh came from the other side, "Qi, my brother, what made you think of calling me?"

"Haha, I wanted to ask if you know Luo Yang from Sha District?" Qi Yun asked.

Hong Weize's laughter stopped abruptly, "Are you talking about Luo Yang, the guy dealing with sand and gravel?"

Qi Yun nodded, "It should be him."

Anyone capable of such business, their background needs no explanation.

"Why are you looking for him? Do you have a conflict?" Hong Weize asked in surprise, as he thought Qi Yun was a serious businessman, how could he be linked with an underworld boss.

Qi Yun chuckled, "No, just have a business deal I'd like to discuss with him."

"Oh, I see." Hong Weize felt relieved, didn't ask further, thought for a moment and replied, "Give me two minutes, I'll ask for you now."

"Alright, let's have a meal sometime."

After hanging up, Qi Yun turned his gaze to the woman beside him and said with a smile, "Let me tell you something, there's a gang of scammers who swindled Luo Yang's nephew out of money, and now he's offering a million as a reward to find those people."

As soon as this was said, the woman who initially looked calm had a flicker of emotion in her eyes.

The man next to her also showed a trace of panic on his face.

Only the dark-skinned man remained defiant, still staring at Chen Wei.

In less than two minutes, Qi Yun's phone screen lit up, and Hong Weize sent over a number.

He glanced at the woman, then pressed the dial button.

This time, the woman finally lost her composure, quickly raised her hand to hang up the phone.

She turned to Qi Yun, bit her lip, and asked, "What do you want?"

Qi Yun watched her action, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he stared at her playfully, "Not so tough now?"

The woman bit her lip, the smile disappearing from her face, "Not tough."

Qi Yun stood up, pulled a chair over and sat down, asking, "Still the same question, were you the ones involved in the recent solar project scam?"

The woman was silent for a moment and eventually nodded.

Seeing this, Qi Yun continued to ask, "Was it Ji Wenqiang who got scammed out of two million?"

The woman recalled briefly and then shook her head.

Qi Yun frowned, thinking she was still trying to act tough, about to say something, when he heard her speak, "It wasn't two million, it was three million, and later I pretended to be his boss's mistress, scamming another million."

Qi Yun swallowed back the words he intended to say, stood there dumbfounded, without uttering a single word for a long time.

Might as well donate Ji's brain.

After a long pause, he continued to ask, "Where's the money?"

"Gone," the woman lowered her head and replied.

"Gone?" Qi Yun was surprised, "You shouldn't have only scammed those two, right? How could all that money just be gone?"

The woman bit her lip, stayed silent.

Qi Yun didn't press this issue further, asked again, "Why aren't you afraid of me reporting you, but fear me telling Luo Yang?"

The woman looked up at him and replied, "Because what we did left no evidence, our identities and the accounts used to receive money were bought from the black market, we even disguised before setting up the trap, so reporting us is useless."

"But Luo Yang is different, those people don't need evidence for their actions."

Hearing this, Qi Yun chuckled lightly, "You're quite honest."

The woman gave a slight bitter smile, a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "Would you spare us if I weren't honest?"
