"... Brother Shen, you guys ride in the nanny van, I'll ride in my uncle's car," she said.

Shen Yan: "..."

On the road.

He Mingzhang glanced at Ye Mo through the rearview mirror and asked the same question Ye Mo had, "... You're going to find that Mr. Li's online girlfriend, do you know her address?"

Ye Mo: "Li Kui bought him a lot of things online before, so I have that person's address."

He Mingzhang pondered, "Since the other party is a man disguised as a woman to deceive people, perhaps this address is fake?"

"That's certainly possible." Ye Mo nodded, then said with a charlatan-like air, "But I've done some calculations, and that address is definitely real!"

Upon hearing this, He Mingzhang was immediately relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about Ye Mo and his group returning empty-handed.

A little over an hour later, Ye Mo and his group successfully arrived at the residential area where Li Kui's online love interest lived.

"... Building B, Room 603." Li Kui looked at the address on his phone to make sure he didn't go to the wrong place later.

Thankfully, the security in this residential complex wasn't very tight. Without a complex card or access card, they entered the complex effortlessly and easily found room 603 in Building B.

By this time, it was already dark, but the lights in the corridor were on.

"Building B, Room 603." The crew double-checked to make sure they were in the right place, lest they contact the wrong person later. "Are you sure this is the address?"

[888, is this the place?] Ye Mo chose to cheat and asked 888.

888 said with certainty: [Host, this is the place.]

The rest of the crew checked several times before finally confirming that this was indeed apartment 603 in Building B. Then they started banging on the door, shouting, "Open the door! Open the door now!"

After knocking for about ten seconds, they heard someone walking quickly towards the door from inside. A moment later, the door opened from the inside with a click, and the face of a slightly overweight, greasy man in his thirties appeared before Ye Mo and the others.

The man looked at Ye Mo and his group with suspicion, and asked nervously, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Kui also looked a little nervous. He asked, "Excuse me, does Hong Tiantian live here?"

man. "..."

Ye Mo clearly saw that after hearing Li Kui's question, the man behind the door's expression stiffened for a moment, and the next second, he said in a harsh voice, "What Hong Tiantian? There's no one here named Hong Tiantian, you've got the wrong person!"

After saying that, he reached out to close the door, but Li Kui instinctively pressed the door shut.

"Hong Tiantian, Building B, Room 603, this is it!" Li Kui said anxiously, "Brother, does Hong Tiantian really not live here?"

The man slammed the door shut. "What Hong Tiantian? She really doesn't live here! You've got the wrong person!"

Li Kui: "Huh? Did you get the wrong person?"

Just then, he heard Ye Mo's soft voice behind him. "Is it possible that the person in front of you is ' Hong Tiantian '?"

As soon as Ye Mo said this, both the people in front of and behind the door froze simultaneously.

Li Kui's expression froze; he felt he couldn't quite process the meaning of Miss Ye's words—what did she mean by saying that the person in front of him was "Hong Tiantian"?

He looked at the man in front of him, a man in his thirties, unkempt, wearing a large white lab coat. Even such a loose white lab coat couldn't hide his slightly protruding beer belly. He was fat and poor, and his appearance was very unpleasant.

Li Kui: "..."

Li Kui suddenly felt everything go black.

The man in front of him didn't look much better; his eyes were wide open, as if he'd seen a ghost. He stood stiffly behind the door, and Li Kui didn't speak, nor did he dare to.

"So you're the guy who pretended to be a woman to scam my friend!" A sudden shout rang out. It was a member of the film crew who had come with Li Kui. He pushed open the door forcefully and said, "You damned liar, give me back what you swindled from my friend!"

The man staggered backward, Ye Mo and his group followed him into the house.

"I don't understand what you're saying! What do you mean by pretending to be a woman, what do you mean by swindler..." The man's eyes flickered, but he stubbornly denied it, saying confidently, "You must have mistaken me for someone else. I'm telling you, you'd better leave right now, or I'll call the police! Trespassing is a crime."

Niu Guangping sneered and said, "Fine, call the police then. Let them investigate whether you are really Hong Tiantian!"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression froze.

Ye Mo and his group weren't there to settle things peacefully, so they didn't lower their voices. The residents on the sixth floor were startled and opened their doors to see what was happening.

"What happened? Did something go wrong?"

"It seems to be the Hong Family. I wonder if debt collectors have come knocking... A group of people came to their house, looking very aggressive."

"Hey, do you guys think we should call the police?"

Outside, the neighbors on the sixth floor were whispering among themselves. A plump auntie, one of the bolder ones, peeked over and looked warily at Ye Mo and his group. She asked nervously, "... What are you all doing blocking the Hong Family's place? Be careful, I'll call the police! And let me tell you, my son is a policeman at the local station!"

No wonder this plump aunt was so bold; it turns out her son is a policeman.

Ye Mo turned around with a smile and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we're not doing anything bad. We came here for a reason... You just said this is the Hong Family, right?"

The plump aunt nodded. "Yes, it's the Hong Family."

Ye Mo nodded, "Then we haven't come to the wrong place... we're looking for someone named Hong Tiantian."

"Hong Tiantian?" the plump aunt asked in confusion. "That's not right. Although this is the Hong Family, there's no one named Hong Tiantian here. It sounds like a girl's name, but the Hong Family's daughter is only five years old, and she's not named Hong Tiantian."

"Yes, yes, yes!" came the man's voice from inside the house. "I told you you've got the wrong person. There's no one named Hong Tiantian here. Why won't you believe me?"

Ye Mo gave a slight smirk and said in a nonchalant tone, "Of course, there's no such person as Hong Tiantian in this house, because Hong Tiantian wasn't even a real person to begin with..."

She looked at the plump aunt and said, "Auntie, aren't you curious why we came here? Well, I'll tell you the reason now."

"We came here because the male head of the household is committing online fraud. He dressed up as a woman and started a relationship with my friend online, even tricking her into buying him a lot of things, including the three gold engagement gifts... a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, and a gold ring!"

Li Kui always believed that he and "Tiantian" were in a serious relationship, with marriage in mind. Although they hadn't met in person yet, they had already discussed marriage online.

After getting married, "Tiantian" asked for the three gold pieces (a traditional Chinese wedding gift), and after hesitating for a moment, he bought them for her anyway.

But no matter how hard he tried, he never imagined that "Tiantian" was actually a man.

"We're not here to cause trouble, we just want this person to return what they tricked my friend out of!" Ye Mo said. "My friend bought those three gold pieces with the intention of getting engaged and married. Now that he knows he was scammed, it's not unreasonable for him to want those three items back, is it?"
