On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

At first, the two looked at each other and didn't dare to answer the call.

Because the prefix of the incoming call number is the digital combination 00, it means that the call comes from abroad.

They have always lived in a small county town and are not familiar with this situation.

However, since accompanying their daughter Xiaodie to chase stars everywhere in the past year, they have traveled far and wide, seen many new things, and gradually understood some things.

Since they have neither relatives nor friends abroad, their daughter has warned them many times that if they see a phone number starting with 00, they should never answer it as it is most likely a telephone scam.

"Old man, do you think this is a call from your daughter?"

Yang Die's mother asked suspiciously.

Just then, the cell phone stopped ringing suddenly.

Seeing this, Yang Die's father breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It must be a scam call. It seems we really have to listen to our daughter."

"These scammers are so despicable that they won't even let old people like us go!"

Yang Die's mother complained indignantly.

But she always felt uneasy, so she gave her husband some advice again:

"Old man, I think we should block this number to avoid trouble in the future."

After hearing this, Yang Die's father felt that what his wife said was absolutely right, so he reached out and took out his cell phone to block the strange number.

However, at this moment, the mysterious number called them again.

"This……"

Yang Die's father looked at the flashing caller ID on the phone screen and couldn't help but hesitate.

He turned his head and glanced at his wife beside him, and continued:

"Could it really be Xiaodie calling?"

At this time, the phone had been ringing for about ten seconds.

When Yang Die's mother was asked this by her husband, she began to feel puzzled.

She thought for a moment, then said to her husband:

"Why don't we pick up the phone and listen? Maybe it really is my daughter! As long as we resolutely don't transfer money to him, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After hearing his wife's words, Yang Die's father carefully pressed the answer button and turned on the loudspeaker so that Yang Die's mother standing next to him could also hear the conversation clearly.

After the call was answered, a man's serious and low voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello! Are you Yang Die's relative?"

When the two elderly people heard that the caller was not their daughter, but he accurately said their daughter's name, they couldn't help but feel hope and expectation in their hearts.

They looked at each other, reached a silent consensus, and decided to continue listening to see what this mysterious caller had to say.

Yang Die's father took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm:

"Well, who are you?"

The other party seemed to sense his nervousness and softened his tone a little:

"This is our embassy in the United States. Today we received a call from the U.S. police saying that a person who seemed to have mental problems came to the police station the day before yesterday."

"But no matter what the police asked her, she would only repeat one sentence, 'My name is Yang Die, I want to go home, my parents' number is ***'. So the police contacted us, and we called to confirm with you whether you know this person?"

When Yang Die's mother heard that her daughter had mental problems, her face turned pale instantly and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

She couldn't imagine what kind of horrible things her precious daughter had experienced to cause her mental problems.

Various possible scenarios kept flashing through her mind, and each one made her feel heartbroken.

Before the man could finish his words, Yang Die's mother felt a black screen before her eyes, her legs went weak, and she almost fainted.

Fortunately, Yang Die's father was quick to support her and asked with concern:

"How are you, old lady? Can you hold on?"

Yang Die's father comforted his wife while trying to stay calm.

He took a deep breath and said to his wife:

"Old lady, don't be impatient. Although this person revealed our daughter's name and our phone number, in this information-rich age, it is not difficult to obtain a person's contact information."

"What's more, a few days ago, we caused trouble in front of Jin Han's concert because of lost tickets, and this incident was also posted on the Internet. This made it easier for others to find out about our situation. Therefore, we can't just believe what he said based on this."

After listening to her husband's analysis, Yang Die's mother calmed down a little.

She stood up slowly, her eyes still full of doubt and worry.

She said to the person on the other end of the phone:

"You said you had news about my daughter, but how can we be sure whether what you said is true or false?"

"Yes."

Yang Die's father seconded.

The man on the other end of the phone paused and said:

"I understand your feelings and thoughts now. After all, it's easy to feel confused and worried when it comes to this kind of thing. How about this, if you still have doubts about my identity, you can go to the police station in person now to verify whether what I said is true."

After hearing this, the old couple looked at each other and replied:

"Okay, we happen to be near the police station, don't hang up yet."

After getting the man's response, the two hurried back to the police station.

As soon as they walked through the door, they saw the police officer who had just received them coming out.

Yang Die's father rushed over and shouted:

"Police comrade, we just received a call starting with 00. The caller claimed to be a staff member of the Chinese Embassy in the United States..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a police comrade:

"You didn't transfer money to him?"

The two old men shook their heads quickly.

“Has the verification code been sent out?”

The police asked next.

“We haven’t done anything yet.”

Yang Die's mother quickly replied.

"That's good. Don't worry about him. He must be a scammer. These people love to deceive elderly people like you. You are a high-risk group for online fraud! Online fraud is so rampant nowadays. You must be more careful in the future."

The reason why the police officer made such an assertion is simply because he has handled quite a number of similar fraud cases recently, and most of the victims were elderly people.

When Yang Die's mother heard this, the huge rock that had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.

For her, as long as her daughter is safe, other things such as fraud are of no concern to her.

At this moment, Yang Die's father also breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily:

"As expected, this person is a liar. I have always found it strange that my plump and fair baby daughter has suddenly become mentally ill."
