Chapter 548 Virtual Currency Scam Emerges
He Zhijun looked at the young man next to Qi Tongwei with a scrutinizing look in his eyes and said, "This must be Chen Ran, right?"
Qi Tongwei nodded, his eyes showing trust in Chen Ran.
Chen Ran immediately caught He Zhijun's gaze. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, his posture erect, and saluted He Zhijun with a crisp, clear motion. His voice was loud and energetic: "Hello, Captain. My name is Chen Ran."
He Zhijun nodded slightly in response to Chen Ran's salute, and then his gaze turned to Qi Tongwei again.
He frowned, a worried look on his face, and said, "Do you think it's okay to go on this mission with him?"
"No, ask Li Sen and the others to come with you."
There was obvious doubt in He Zhijun's tone.
Qi Tongwei knew that He Zhijun's concerns were not unreasonable.
He, Li Sen and other team members have gone through dozens of cooperative drills. In countless simulated missions and actual combat, they are familiar with each other's every movement and every look. That tacit understanding is like an instinct engraved in their bones.
As for Chen Ran, although Qi Tongwei had witnessed his abilities and potential in previous missions, they had only known each other for a few days after all.
In special operations, the degree of cooperation and tacit understanding between team members often determines the success or failure of the mission.
A small mistake could trigger a chain reaction, putting the entire mission in danger.
He Zhijun continued, "Tongwei, you also know the importance of our mission this time."
"Mengyao's condition is still unclear. Every minute and every second is crucial."
"I'm not doubting Chen Ran's ability, I'm just worried about the lack of tacit understanding between you two. If you don't cooperate well during the mission, the impact will be huge."
As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the office, his steps seeming a little heavy.
Chen Ran stood aside and could feel He Zhijun's worry.
His heart was filled with fighting spirit, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he said, "Captain, please believe me."
"I know the importance of this mission. I will do my best to establish a tacit understanding with Chief Qi as soon as possible."
"I won't let you down, nor will I let Chief Qi down."
He knew that this was a great opportunity to prove himself to the captain, and he was still confident in his own abilities.
"Commander Qi, you have seen my achievements. I have performed very well in all previous training and missions."
"Whether it's physical fitness assessment or tactical drills, I'm always among the best."
Chen Ran's voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes were fixed on He Zhijun, trying to let the captain see his determination.
"I don't think this mission will be difficult for me."
"I know this is a very important mission that concerns Mengyao's safety, but I believe I am fully capable of it."
Chen Ran straightened his chest, and every movement he made was full of confidence.
"Besides, I just arrived at the Wolf Fang Brigade, and I also want the captain to see my abilities."
"I know that the Wolf Fang Brigade is where the elites gather, and the War Wolf Squadron is the elite among the elites."
"I'm eager to gain a foothold here. I definitely have the ability."
Chen Ran's words were powerful and his eyes were gleaming with a fiery light, a desire for honor and an eagerness to prove himself.
He Zhijun looked at Chen Ran with complicated eyes. He could feel the drive and confidence of this young man, but he also knew that real tasks were often full of unknown dangers and variables.
He didn't say anything, but just looked at Chen Ran quietly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Qi Tongwei saw He Zhijun's hesitation and said, "Captain, you know I never make wrong decisions."
"Since I chose Chen Ran, it's because I saw his potential and strength."
"Time is tight. Just tell us the current information and we'll set off immediately."
Chen Ran looked at Qi Tongwei gratefully. He knew that Qi Tongwei was speaking for him, which made him more determined to perform well in this mission.
He looked at He Zhijun again, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that the captain would trust him and give him the opportunity to prove himself.
He Zhijun looked at Chen Ran's determined eyes, and his worries were slightly relieved.
He thought about it, then said, "Well, since you are all so confident, I agree that you can carry out this mission together."
"However, you must be cautious and prioritize safety at all times."
Qi Tongwei and Chen Ran looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "Yes, Captain!
He Zhijun began to give them specific information about the disappearance.
"After our investigation, we found that Mengyao's previous investments were all in the virtual currency market, but this currency is very niche."
When Qi Tongwei heard the news, he immediately became alert.
He began to speculate according to the timeline that this time was most likely the time when Bitcoin emerged, when the entire market was in an emerging and chaotic state.
Various virtual currencies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and due to the lack of effective supervision, different virtual currencies on the market have begun to withdraw, and some criminals have taken advantage of this to make money and commit fraud.
Qi Tongwei frowned, he knew very well that this kind of virtual currency scam was often very deceptive.
When he saw the specific content, he found that it was indeed a virtual currency that he had never heard of.
After a quick search online, he saw all kinds of praise for this virtual currency, all boasting about its high returns and low risks.
On those web pages, bold and eye-catching words read slogans such as "New favorite investment, get rich easily" and "New opportunities in virtual currency, miss out and you will regret it for a lifetime."
Many people even posted screenshots of their income. Those screenshots looked very tempting, and the income figures were astonishingly high.
In this case, you will almost never lose money and you can earn more than three times as much as you buy.
Qi Tongwei's eyes became increasingly stern. He knew that this was most likely an elaborate trap.
In his opinion, these so-called high-return screenshots are likely to be forged, with the purpose of attracting people like Mengyao who lack investment experience but are eager to make money.
Those highly praised recommendations might actually be water army reviews written by people hired by fraud gangs.
He thought to himself that this virtual currency had no real value support and only relied on false propaganda to attract people to invest. There must be a huge conspiracy behind it.
Moreover, from Mengyao suddenly asking her family for a large amount of money to her current disappearance, everything seemed to be carefully planned.
It is very likely that after the fraud gang had defrauded enough money, they found that Mengyao had no further value, or they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they took action against her.
Qi Tongwei looked at He Zhijun and Chen Ran and said seriously, "This is probably a typical virtual currency scam."
"Those seemingly tempting rewards and good reviews are designed to make victims relax their vigilance and willingly invest their money."
"Now that Mengyao is missing, it's very likely that the fraud gang realized something was wrong and wanted to cover up their crime."
After listening to Qi Tongwei's analysis, He Zhijun's expression became even more serious. He said anxiously, "Then we have to find Mengyao quickly. We can't let anything happen to her."
Chen Ran also clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger: "These scammers are so despicable, we must bring them to justice."
Qi Tongwei didn't even use any complicated technical means. He simply conducted a preliminary investigation of the website and keenly realized that this was a scam website whose background could be changed at will.
He found that the information displayed on the website, including the number of real-time traders and trading partners, was all fictitious.
Those seemingly lively and vibrant trading scenes are nothing but illusions created by scammers to deceive investors.
As soon as Qi Tongwei logged into the website as a browser, a chat window popped up on the page and someone immediately started chatting with Qi Tongwei.
A person claiming to be "Investment Consultant Xiao Yang" greeted me warmly: "Hello, welcome to our world of wealth! I see you just logged into our platform. Are you interested in our virtual currency?"
Qi Tongwei replied calmly: "Well, it seems that the returns are quite high. I am a little curious."
"Investment Consultant Xiao Yang" seemed to have gotten the message and immediately launched into a torrent of information: "You've got great foresight! Our virtual currency is the most promising investment project on the market right now."
"Look, we have a lot of success stories here, like the users I mentioned earlier who posted screenshots of their earnings. They all made huge profits in a short period of time."
"And our risk is extremely low, almost negligible."
Qi Tongwei deliberately asked: "Then how do you guarantee such high returns?"
"That sounds a little unbelievable."
"Xiao Yang" quickly replied: "This is because we have a unique algorithm and a strong technical team behind us."
“Our virtual currency is based on a brand new blockchain technology that ensures currency stability and value-added.”
"Moreover, we have many partners who are giants in the industry, which also provides solid guarantees for our projects."
Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart. These excuses were just the usual tricks used by scammers. They were completely unfounded and full of loopholes.
But he pretended to be very interested and continued to ask, "If I invest now, how long will it take for me to see returns?"
"Xiao Yang" said excitedly: "If you invest now, according to our experience, you can see returns as early as the same day."
“The more money you invest, the higher the returns.”
"We now have a special promotion. New users can enjoy extra rebates for their first investment."
He Zhijun watched the chat logs between Qi Tongwei and the fraudsters, his expression growing increasingly serious. He whispered, "It seems this gang's methods are very sophisticated. Their rhetoric is very deceptive, and ordinary people can be easily fooled."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly. He knew that this fraud gang was definitely not a novice. They carefully designed this scam. From false propaganda to seemingly professional investment consultants, every link was aimed at defrauding investors' trust and money.
He decided to continue investigating to see if he could get more information about the fraud gang from this "Xiao Yang" in order to find Mengyao's whereabouts.
