His Ordeal 3

His Ordeal 3

The rule of multi-level marketing was to trick one person to trick another. If you couldn't trick money out of someone, you would be punished; lightly, you'd go without food and drink, severely, you'd be beaten. Of course, some people did earn money, but these were all just superficial appearances.

Therefore, many MLM salespeople, not wanting to starve or be beaten, went to trick their own relatives. They used sweet words to lure these relatives into bringing a lot of money. Upon arrival, a group of people would surround and beat them, conveniently robbing them of all their money, then locking them in a dark room to starve and begin brainwashing them, forcing them to join their ranks.

Zhou Qiang was gullible. Hearing his relatives say there was a lot of money and good food there, he thought they were family and trusted them without hesitation.

Afterward, when the two of them arrived, they were surrounded by a group of people. The main target of the beating was Li Xiao; after all, Zhou Qiang's relatives couldn't possibly let their own younger brother be beaten. But even so, step by step, they were starved, and no small amount of money was stolen.

As for Li Xiao, he certainly wouldn't obediently allow himself to be beaten. His temperament was tenacious, his fists were hard, and he fought with people as if going to his death.

Although many people surrounded him, he had been fighting since childhood and had experience. A group of people was beaten back by him alone. In the end, he only chose one person to beat, leaving that person covered in blood and unconscious. This frightened the others so much that they dared not step forward, fearing a murder.

Thus, he became a key target they wanted to recruit, fearing he would destroy the place.

Li Xiao endured. After probing these people, he also knew they wouldn't let him go, so he simply pretended to agree.

He definitely had to leave; not only leave, but also expose them in a spectacular fashion.

So, he incited two people to become his sworn brothers, then secretly contacted the local police, collaborating to expose the entire MLM den.

Of course, he didn't let those two sworn brothers struggle in vain with him. Before the police arrived, the three of them pried open the money that the group had previously swindled, stole a portion, and divided it.

Even if the amount didn't match in the end, they could always frame the leader of the team.

Since they could escape this place and had the ability to earn a large sum of money, the two men were naturally loyal to him, and neither of them spoke about this matter.

After arriving at the police station, the three of them and the others were locked up together. This had been agreed upon with the police beforehand, fearing future trouble from retaliation.

Because Li Xiao and his two companions hadn't defrauded anyone, they were able to leave after giving their statements along with the other innocent people. However, before leaving, they were arranged by the police station to receive commendation flags and prize money in the conference room, and even shook hands with the leaders.

After leaving, the three of them secretly ran back to their hideout, retrieved the money they had buried under the toilet, and then each went their separate ways.

Zhou Qiang had a tougher time because he was related to those relatives, so his interrogation took a bit longer. Li Xiao even deliberately waited for him for a few days, but he didn't tell Zhou Qiang what he had done, fearing he couldn't keep a secret and would expose it.

As for the money, of course, he wouldn't share it with him.

The truth proved that Li Xiao was indeed a man of great ambition. He not only collaborated with the police to arrest MLM salespeople in W City but also wanted to infiltrate the MLM stronghold in G Province's coastal region. Because he was quick-witted and handsome, the group planned to train him as a core member, even providing travel expenses and food for him to enter the G Province headquarters.

Of course, this was also part of the brainwashing; the subordinates and lackeys painted a grand picture, implying that if they did well, they too would have such a day.

But before this picture was even finished, Li Xiao had already thoroughly investigated the identities of several big fish, as well as their whereabouts and usual entry and exit points.

After Jiang Ru heard about what he had done, she didn't know what expression to respond with.
