Chapter 20: Chapter 20: A Few Too Many Critical Hits

Even though a suspicion had taken root in his heart, Not a Rich Heir seemed unwilling to admit it.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, he said, "Doctor Wen, this..."

Perhaps he couldn’t even bring himself to finish the sentence. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"My dear rich-heir patient, would you mind if your Miss Tao Tao was from the Neon Country?"

This sentence was another critical blow to Not a Rich Heir!

Everyone knew what kind of profession a woman from the Neon Country who looked like that and did these sorts of things was likely in.

"No way... She told me she was in Asia City, here in the country. She said if I wanted, she could fly over to be with me anytime."

[The Neon Country? Is this what I think it is? Have cross-border operations gotten this sophisticated?]

[If they didn’t spend a few months investigating Brother Heir before targeting him, I wouldn’t believe it!]

"Miss Tao Tao is indeed not from the Neon Country, but her face *is*. Simply put, this is a meticulously designed scam. It doesn’t just target you; you just happen to be the biggest fish and the easiest one to hook."

Not a Rich Heir’s face twisted as if he’d swallowed something disgusting.

If he still couldn’t understand what was going on by now, he’d have to be an idiot!

"The website you’re on is like a dark web for scammers that operates in Asia. The people carrying out the work are completely different from the IDs listed on the site; they have a cooperative arrangement for mutual profit. The woman you video-chatted with is named Yurino Yukina. She is fluent in our language. The person who was actually chatting with you, however, was Miss Tao Tao. Do you understand?"

"Doctor Wen, I want to see what Taotao looks like." Not a Rich Heir nodded. Having reached this point, he had surprisingly calmed down a bit.

’So Taotao just borrowed someone else’s face and body to video chat with me and send all those suggestive photos.’

"Keep clicking on your name. You’ll get your answer."

Hearing this, Not a Rich Heir noticed a red arrow next to his name and clicked it.

A picture of an extremely plain, round face appeared. The profile picture was a cropped bust shot.

But below the profile picture was a description.

[Partner: Meng Tao]

[Height: 155cm]

[Weight: 70kg]

[Education: Elementary School]

[Cut: 50%]

[Earnings to Date: 43,851]

[Traits: Obsessed with money; will break any rule to reach her goal.]

[Rating: High-Quality Partner]

When Not a Rich Heir saw that greasy, pie-like face, his stomach churned. He started to dry-heave, his face a terrifying shade of white.

Perhaps everyone could understand, but in the end, no one could truly empathize with what the person involved was feeling.

[My god, no one would argue if you called her a hag, right? 155cm and 70kg? Did she spend all the scam money on food?]

[I feel so bad for Brother Heir! How big of a psychological scar is this gonna leave?]

[Does Brother Heir have a scammer-magnet constitution or something? Both women he’s liked are connected to fraud rings...]

You had to hand it to them, the netizens’ imaginations were running wild.

After retching for a few minutes, Not a Rich Heir stared miserably at the live stream.

And just at that moment, Not a Rich Heir’s phone chimed again.

His hand trembled, and he almost dropped the phone.

With a complicated expression, he opened WeChat. He had added both of them on it.

The message was from Taotao. "Big Bro, someone’s been following Taotao lately, and Taotao is scared. But Taotao doesn’t have the money to move somewhere safer. What should I do? I’m so worried... (cutesy_pout.jpg)"

Before, whenever Not a Rich Heir received this kind of message, he would have immediately transferred the money. A high-end apartment complex? He’d pay the rent!

But now, as he looked at this message, his mind was filled with the image of that greasy, fat, enormous head.

"Taotao, my dad’s company went bankrupt yesterday. I can only send you five hundred for now. You have to wait for my family to make a comeback. When that happens, Big Bro will get you a big house!"
