Chapter 283 -283 Deceived
Wen Nianyou felt a surge of fear and, with trembling fingers, opened her contacts list and found Xu Bingwen’s phone number to call him.
Thankfully, this time there was no message telling her the number was disconnected; Xu Bingwen was still there!
She waited a long time and called several times before Xu Bingwen finally answered.
Desperate, she asked, “President Xu, what’s going on? That Jungle salesperson you introduced to me has blocked me! I just transferred two hundred million to him, and now he’s disappeared!”
“How could that be? Zhao Qin isn’t that kind of person!”
“It’s true, I just tried calling him and the number is now disconnected! Could he be a fraudster?”
“How could Zhao Qin be a fraudster? He’s an official employee at Jungle, his performance has always been good. He’s well-respected within the industry. Why would he cheat you? But why did you transfer so much money at once? Couldn’t you have just given him ten million to start with, to buy some medicine and test the waters?”
Wen Nianyou, sweating profusely with anxiety, said, “President Xu, I trusted you a lot, that’s why I made such a large transaction with that salesperson. Please find him quickly and ask what’s really going on!”
“Alright, I’m hanging up now, I’ll ask Zhao Qin what’s happening!”
Wen Nianyou, listening to him hang up, began her agonizing wait that felt like an eternity.
When it felt like a century had passed, Xu Bingwen finally called her back.
She quickly answered, “President Xu, what’s the situation? What did Zhao Qin say?”
“Miss Wen, Zhao Qin said that he has been busy traveling for business these past days, he hasn’t contacted you at all!”
“What did you say?!”
Wen Nianyou was furious, her voice immediately turning sharp and bitter, “How could he not have contacted me! I’ve already transferred the money to his account, and you’re telling me he didn’t contact me?!”
“Miss Wen, don’t panic, I’ve checked with Zhao Qin, and he said he hasn’t received a single cent from you. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake and transfer the money to someone else’s account?”
“I transferred it to a personal account because Zhao Qin said that he was selling me the batch of medicine at a low price privately, not through Jungle’s corporate account!”
“How can Jungle not use a corporate account? Miss Wen, you’re too naive, how can you believe such a thing!”
Wen Nianyou felt a chill over her body, her heart was bleeding, “What do you mean? Are you saying I was scammed? Two hundred million! Xu Bingwen, it was you who said you’d introduce me to a salesperson from Jungle. Now the person you introduced has disappeared, you must compensate me the two hundred million!”
“Miss Wen, be reasonable, did you give the two hundred million to me? Why should I compensate you two hundred million? I told you already, Zhao Qin has been traveling on business and he’s extremely busy, he didn’t even add your WeChat. How would I know who you added or who you really transferred the two hundred million to?”
Wen Nianyou was so angry she nearly cursed out loud on the phone, but she was afraid that if Xu Bingwen got scolded, he would really ignore her and then the two hundred million would be completely gone!
“President Xu, I need to meet with you, where are you now?”
“I’m on a business trip, currently abroad.”
“When will you be back?”
“Maybe next month.”
“What? Next month? That won’t do, you must come back immediately! Help me sort this out! This whole thing started because of you, if you don’t take responsibility for this, I’m going to the police, I’ll find a lawyer, and I’ll sue you for fraud! Two hundred million is enough to have you rot in jail!”
“Miss Wen, I tried to help you out of kindness, bustling about to arrange connections at Jungle so you could get the medicine at a low price from their salesperson, and instead of being grateful, you want to sue me?”
Xu Bingwen’s voice cooled, “Then go ahead and sue. I want to see whether it will be me or you who ends up in jail!”
Once again, the call was disconnected.

Wen Nianyou sat in the empty office, filled with endless anger and despair.
She finally realized that she had been duped.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world, where right after Xu Bingwen told her to expect contact from a Jungle salesperson, a scammer claiming to be one added her on WeChat, quoted prices for all kinds of medicines, then took her two hundred million and vanished without a trace!
