The Way To Escape the Scum

    What is Lao Cheng's original name, even he himself can't remember clearly. When he was in the army, even his comrades in the army called him Lao Cheng; after he retired from the army, he married a daughter-in-law, who also jokingly called him Lao Cheng; in the end, when his daughter-in-law left, he worked hard to bring up his daughter, and her daughter began to do the same. Call him.

    The daughter-in-law said that the child would take her surname, Jiang. He agreed, and then turned over the dictionary to choose a name, called Xiaomei.

    The "beauty" of a good life.

    Jiang Xiaomei didn't contact her family very much after she went to college, and she didn't go home for a long time after work. Old Cheng misses his daughter and calls from time to time to ask. At first, she stammered that she was busy with work, and then she simply stopped answering the phone.

    Until one day, Jiang Xiaomei took the initiative to dial the phone, and her tone was very happy.

    "Dad, I know a friend who can make a lot of money! Oh, I can't tell you, it's a state secret... Well, don't worry, it's legal and regular, lend me 70,000 yuan, and I'll invest , and filial piety to you in the future!"

    Old Cheng couldn't bear his daughter, so he gave her all his savings, exactly 70,000 yuan. Then a person tremblingly learned to search the Internet for information, and found a word.

    MLM.

    Gradually, the number of phone calls became more and more, Jiang Xiaomei always said that she had a good life, learning business knowledge, and the people in the organization were like family, warm and kind, helping each other Mutual aid... While listening, Lao Cheng tried to persuade her. Could it be that he entered the MLM den by mistake.

    But she denied it all, just kept repeating that she had a good time in Haicheng.

    A year ago, Jiang Xiaomei called, and her voice was not very exciting:

    "Dad, I've been promoted to team leader. Well, there are more than a dozen people under my command. The director of discipline is also very optimistic about me... However, I don't plan to continue doing it anymore, I'm tired, maybe a little bit God, I will go back to filial piety to you."

    "Haha, for no reason, I just think I may have done something wrong... No, I didn't say anything, I just missed you. Isn't there a fireworks display downstairs every summer? This year should be I'll go back and watch it with you."

    Perhaps it’s because of my overthinking? Maybe he didn't tell the specific location just because he was afraid of disturbing his work?

    But he didn't expect that it was the last time he spoke to his daughter.

    Jiang Xiaomei, 23 years old, whereabouts unknown.

    He went to the police and kept taking notes, and also provided some information about "may be involved in pyramid schemes", but every time he was full of expectations, he eventually got "The location of the missing person has not been found, please Be patient" for the reply.

    Old Cheng is used to being strong alone. After repeated despair, as a father, he made a decision.

    He wants to infiltrate that "organization" alone and find Xiaomei's whereabouts, whether alive...or dead.

    Lao Cheng began to post on the Internet, adding all kinds of deceptive and rich groups, screening around Haicheng, using his body as a bait, and waiting patiently. Finally, two months later, he waited for a man and invited him to Haicheng to inspect the "Sunshine Project", which is said to be supported by the state and has a bright future.

    "Sounds good, then I'll take a look. But what level are you? Ask your director to invite my old man."

    "I'm the director, the director of discipline."

    Is this man the man my daughter said?

    Old Cheng sold the house and went to Haicheng alone. He was led to the Sunshine Community by a man with a beer belly and a rigid expression who claimed to be the director of discipline. He turned in his mobile phone and ID card, and since then he has been in class every day—eating cabbage—being brainwashed and brainwashing newcomers—playing cards. life.

    He was very fortunate that his daughter did not follow his surname and that his registered permanent residence moved out early, so as not to arouse suspicion from others. He was even more fortunate that he had been a soldier, had a firm will, and doubted this place from the bottom of his heart.

    This closed building is completely a fanatical and twisted prison cell. People who come here will soon lose themselves and become the tools at the bottom of the pyramid to be squeezed clean, and their relatives and friends will be destroyed. Also trying to pull down the abyss of sin.

    Soon, Lao Cheng found out that other families have so-called team leaders to assist the director in handling internal affairs of the family. The family he belongs to has no team leader, but a girl named Ayu, who has the best performance and has an unclear relationship with the discipline director, who actually exercises the team leader's rights.

    "The former team leader was better than her when she was there, it's a pity..."

    Lao Cheng is an honest person and has no sense of existence, his performance is poor, and he has no major conflicts with anyone. Once, the senior man drank some wine and left his mouth.

    "The former team leader...her, what's her name?"

    "Xiaomei, Jiang Xiaomei."

    "Where is she now?"

    "Hey, who knows, she disappeared suddenly, she must be dead? I heard that one of us died here, it should be her. But now no one wants to mention Jiang Xiaomei, she is a It's a secret."

    Daughter, she has indeed been here and disappeared here. And, she might actually be dead.

    For a year, Lao Cheng kept searching secretly in the organization with vague hope. If she is still alive, he will rescue her; if she is dead, then he will take her leaves back to their roots. Until he was returned the mobile phone, and was called by the discipline director to tell him to spy on Ayu and others and report it in time, he kept inquiring. It's just that everyone is tight-lipped about Jiang Xiaomei, and he doesn't know any more.

    Until one day, a girl named Ling Xiao came to the family, she was a weak and weak female high school student.

    I'm still young, I'm afraid another family will be destroyed. Lao Cheng thought indifferently.

    That night, because she went to Ayu's room to steal her mobile phone, she was locked in the study room that had not been used since he came.

    "Next, Lao Cheng, go and educate her."

    Old Cheng got up and went. He didn't plan to say anything more, and he didn't have the ability to save others. At present, the only motivation for him to live is to find out the whereabouts of his daughter with his own hands. Other than that, it doesn't matter.

    "Doll, do you think this is a pyramid scheme and want to run away alone?" He followed the instructions of the discipline director step by step.

    The female doll was sweating all over, and was locked in a dark storage room where the environment was a hundred times worse than the room, with a weak look that was about to die at any time.

    He suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

    Would her daughter have been locked up in such a place and suffered such hardships?

    But when she heard the girl doll suddenly ask him a few questions, Lao Cheng only felt that he was being questioned in the army for a while. There is an irresistible coercion.

    "I talked to everyone before, and they kindly provided me with some information... Is the person who died here before the former team leader?"

    "What is your relationship with the person who died?"

    How could she know in a few hours what she had spent a long time inquiring about!

    She asked him what he wanted to do!

    The girl seemed to see his hesitation and doubt, and calmly asked to make a deal with herself.

     "It's very simple, I will help you find the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaomei's remains, the real murderer and the evidence. What about you, help me call the police."

    Old Cheng was heartbroken for a moment, then shook his head.

    "How do you know that she must be dead? And if you call the police, how can you have a chance to find these? Why should I trust you as a child?"

    His tone was stern and harsh, but she wasn't annoyed, but counted with herself.

    "First, among the few people who came in before you, two of them knew about Jiang Xiaomei's death, but they just pretended to be deaf and dumb. Here, one-on-one questioning, Don't you think it's very similar to an interrogation room? So just ask a few words and you'll know."

    "Secondly, according to the current information, Ayu is most likely to be the murderer, but this is by no means the whole truth, because death in this kind of organization will be reported layer by layer, according to my The idea is that it's better to catch them all at once... I have found some evidence that has not been destroyed, and I have some guesses about the whereabouts of the body, but as a bargaining chip to escape, I can't tell you now. If you call the police, you won't be alarmed. Instead, it will be more efficient to work with the police to find out the truth.”

    "Third, it's even simpler...I can say one and two, isn't it that I can trust my credentials?"

    Old Cheng has been searching for too long, and he is almost desperate, and his willpower will soon be exhausted. Hearing this is like seeing a clear spring in the desert.

    However, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly.

    "I won't call the police, I don't trust them."

    The girl sighed and thought for a while.

    "Well...is it because they never looked for Jiang Xiaomei before? You must know that the state's crackdown on pyramid schemes is very strict, and the police have been trying their best to find and eliminate them. For the sake of it, it's the perpetrator's fault, not their fault. If you can't trust them, is there anyone else in this society who can be trusted?"

    "Okay, that's it. Me, I'm going to play a play with my brother. If he succeeds in calling the police, you don't need to do anything, I will tell you Jiang Xiaomei's information as usual. But in case we both fail...

    "Well, let me see, according to the psychological quality of the fool, there is about a 30% chance of failure. At that time, you immediately help me call the police, and the entire Haicheng den, including the Let's kill this big fish together, okay? Of course, before the police arrive, I promise to delay and ask for the last key information about Jiang Xiaomei."

    "Anyway, I have to settle this matter before tomorrow, and I am in a hurry to go back to the college entrance examination. This is a good deal for you, isn't it? If you don't agree... then take this time, just as a form of redemption."

    She didn't say what kind of redemption, but Lao Cheng understood.

    Yes, he has always hated himself the most.

    As a father, he failed to give his daughter a little protection at the last moment. This is the pain that he can never forgive himself, but can never make up for it.

    If he found out his daughter's abnormality earlier, came here earlier, and sought police help earlier...

    Fortunately, this time he did not make the wrong choice.

    "Who called the police?" The heavily armed special police controlled everyone and shouted sharply. Seeing him stand up with his hands up, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and a big compliment.

    "It's me."

    Old Cheng finally showed a vicissitudes of life.

    He counted the barren forest, which was not too far away, so he could bring his daughter home early, maybe in time for the fireworks display this summer.

    I also hope that all those trapped in the pyramid swamp can go home as soon as possible.
