The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

If you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. This saying sounds simple, but it contains the profound philosophy of life.

The law of cause and effect taught by Buddhism takes this concept to the extreme, telling us that every action and every thought is a seed. After being sown, the fruit will eventually be harvested.

This is not only a reflection of the laws of nature, but also a reflection of spirit and morality. Every choice is an investment in the future, and the path of the future is like a map that has not yet been revealed, full of unknowns and possibilities.

Sitting in the office, I couldn't help but sigh at the trajectory of my life.

From dropping out of school in my sophomore year, hanging out in Internet cafes, and now committing fraud in northern Myanmar, every step seems to be an arrangement of fate, and I am just a small boat floating down the river.

In my latest "investment", I introduced a new batch of dog pushers from Crouching Tiger Villa. I thought this would be a turning point in the new company's performance, but who knew it would become a heavy burden.

Of these ten people, seven were illiterate, three could not even operate a basic computer, and their ages ranged from seventeen or eighteen to over forty. Their arrival forced me to re-examine my decision-making.

These ten people, their eyes full of confusion and helplessness, came to northern Myanmar from remote rural areas in China, passed through many difficulties, and finally fell into my hands.

And as the person in charge of the new company, every decision I make is related to the whereabouts of these lives.

I understand in my heart that it is neither realistic nor beneficial to keep them. Their daily expenses for food and accommodation are a huge burden, not to mention that they cannot bring any revenue to the park.

But reselling them is not an easy task.

Finally, I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The smoke lingered in the air, as if it could take away my worries and anxiety.

I knew that I needed to make a decision, whether it was to train them to be useful people or to find a suitable way to solve this problem, I could no longer hesitate.

As the saying goes, when it is broken, it is broken, and when it is continued, it is chaotic.

Sometimes the more entangled you are, the deeper you fall into.

Finally, after a long period of hesitation, I made up my mind.

His fingers gently slid across the phone screen, looking for Chang Jianlin's contact information.

Once he decided, he made the call without any hesitation.

On the other end of the phone, when Chang Jianlin picked up the phone, his voice was still mixed with a little sleepiness.

"Boss, it's so late, what's wrong?" He obviously didn't expect me to call him at this time.

I went straight to the point: "Jianlin, let those ten people go."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Apparently, Chang Jianlin was caught off guard by my order.

"Boss, are you sure?" There was disbelief in his voice.

"Yeah." I replied simply, "It's useless to keep them. We have to provide them with food and drink every day. This is not a charity. Give each person a thousand yuan and let them go on their own."

On the other end of the phone, Chang Jianlin was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, boss, I'll do it right away."

After hanging up the phone, I leaned back on my office chair, staring blankly at the monotonous incandescent lamp on the ceiling, but I had mixed feelings in my heart.

At this time, the ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly broke the silence of the room. I subconsciously thought it was Chang Jianlin calling again.

But when I picked up the phone and saw the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, I couldn't help but be curious.

After answering the phone, a familiar yet slightly joking voice came to my ears: "Brother Yang, how are you doing lately?"

The sound made me stunned for a moment.

"Brother Hua?" I asked in surprise.

A relaxed laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, it seems Brother Yang still remembers me."

I smiled and said, "Brother Hua, what do you mean by remembering you? We are all brothers, so naturally we cannot forget."

"I'm in Nanxian now." He said in a deep voice.

"Have you returned to China?"

"Yeah, it's been a while since I came back. I've been in Nanxian all the time." There was a hint of melancholy in his voice.

Nanxian, a small town in Lincang, Yunnan, is right next to Myanmar.

"Why did you suddenly think of calling me?" I tried to explore his intention.

"Brother Yang, do you remember the time when we were in Lao Cai? Thanks to your help... Now I have calmed down. I was just wondering if we two brothers could get together and have a drink at some time. ?" There was a hint of expectation in his voice.

"Going to Nanxian?" I asked.

"No, I'll go to Lao Cai in a few days. I'll book a place then, and you can just come over." He seemed to have planned everything.

I pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, then give me a call when you arrive, and I will definitely come over."

After hanging up the phone, the lighter in my hand gently slid across my fingertips, but I felt uneasy.

Brother Hua's sudden call and his invitation made me start to guess his real purpose of looking for me this time.

……

Two days later, Chang Jianlin drove me in an SUV to a tilapia restaurant.

It was dinner time, but there was no one in the restaurant.

"Boss, this brother Hua is not here to borrow money from you, is he?" Chang Jianlin said after getting off the car.

I smiled and said, "You'll know it when you see it."

He pursed his lips and said, "In my opinion, you shouldn't come over to see him. This guy took a million from you and disappeared. Now if he calls you suddenly, there's a good chance that it won't do anything good."

"Jianlin, don't always think of people so badly."

Hearing my words, he was stunned for a moment: "Boss, this is in northern Myanmar? How many good people can there be in this place? Besides, is that Brother Hua a good person?"

I smiled helplessly and didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only wave my hand to tell him to stop saying a few words.

When we walked into the restaurant, a person who looked like the proprietress came up to us and spoke in a Yunnan dialect: "Boss, would you like some food?"

"Looking for someone." I replied.

"Are you looking for Brother Hua?" the landlady asked.

I nodded.

"You two, follow me."

A few minutes later, she took us to a private room upstairs. When we entered, Brother Hua was sitting at the dinner table chatting with a middle-aged man.

Seeing me coming, he quickly stood up and greeted me.

I noticed that he had a prosthetic limb on his right hand, which looked very uncoordinated.

"Brother Hua." I said hello with a smile.

"Brother Yang! Long time no see!" He enthusiastically took me to my seat.

After sitting down, he handed me a cigarette and insisted on lighting it for me.

I couldn't refuse, so I could only let him light a cigarette for me.

After taking a slow drag on my cigarette, I focused my attention on the middle-aged man standing aside.

Although this man was dressed in ordinary clothes, his eyes were like those of a falcon, making him look extraordinary at first glance.
