As she spoke, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her mother's face on August 9th.

After all, her previous words could easily make people think she was a woman greedy for vanity.

So she whispered another explanation, "I'm not really after how much money he has, I just want to get my daughter into a better environment."

The viewers, after hearing her story, were all speechless.

What else can be said, this is definitely a scam!

How many foreign retired officers are specifically coming to find wives in the country?

"Mother-in-law, please allow your son-in-law to speak, you are definitely being scammed!"

"Auntie, I saw a piece of news a few days ago that said scammers are impersonating foreigners to cheat money."

"Mother-in-law, think about it carefully, even if that Smith wants to get married, wouldn't he find a wife in his own country? Does he need to come all the way to find you?"

"Yes, yes, and as soon as they ask for money, they're definitely a scammer no doubt!"

"Report to the police as soon as possible! If the time drags on, those thirty thousand yuan will be squandered by the scammers."

"Call the police +1! We absolutely cannot let these scammers get away!"

"The person is abroad, refuses to show up, and asks for money upfront, must be a scammer!"

"Sister, don't be fooled by their sweet words! Even if introduced by a friend, how many people would ask for money without having met?"

Seeing these comments, August 9th spoke up: "Mom, look at this..."

"Everyone's opinion is the same as mine; they all believe you've met a scammer!"

Despite everyone unanimously saying it's a scam, August 9th's mother still looked stubborn.

She gently shook her head and said, "How is that possible?"

"Smith was introduced to me by a friend."

"And I get along with him very well, like old friends who haven't seen each other for years."

"He absolutely cannot be a scammer!"

Seeing her mother fall into delusion again, August 9th shook her head helplessly.

This really is stubbornly persisting in error until hitting a wall!

If it were an ordinary time, she'd definitely have no mood to persuade anymore.

But at this moment, it was different.

Because they were in the "Immortal Taoist's" livestream room?

As a fan of the "Immortal Taoist," her mother would certainly be willing to listen to the Taoist's opinion.

So, August 9th changed tactics, "Mom, we all say that Smith is a scammer, and you don't believe it."

"To prevent our disputes, why not listen to what the Taoist says?"

"You know, the Taoist has the skill to know everything, let him predict your future."

"See what the situation is with you and that Smith after all?"

Initially, August 9th wanted to calculate about that Smith directly.

But being an old fan, she knew the rules of fortune-telling.

Without a birth date and exact name, nothing can be calculated.

So, she had to take a second-best option and calculate her mother's future.

See what this Smith is about!

"Alright then, let's trouble the Taoist!"

August 9th's mother hesitated for a while, then reluctantly nodded, as a sign of agreement.

"You're welcome!"

"Please wait a moment, you two!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly, then called out to the Celestial Destiny System.

"System, query this person's future information!"

[System Prompt: Querying future information will require consuming three days of the host's life span, continue?]

The system's voice immediately rang in the ear.

"Yes!"

With his confirmation, everything August 9th's mother was going to experience in the future played out like a movie before him.

After watching all this, Lu Heng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect the future outcome for this mother and daughter to be like this...

The viewers saw that he remained silent and immediately their eyes lit up.

"It's over! The Taoist didn't speak immediately; there must be big trouble again!"

"Could it be that the mother-in-law has encountered a large fraud group?"

"Very likely! This group of fraudsters probably uses the identity of a retired overseas officer as a cover to cheat those single middle-aged and elderly women."

"In that case, won't the Taoist make the headlines again?"

"666! Congratuations in advance to the Taoist for uncovering a major fraud case!"

"No, why do you assume they're scammers? Just because they asked for thirty thousand yuan?"

"Didn't auntie just say, it really was introduced by a friend."

"Haha! Without even meeting, asking for money, isn't that a scam, what else could it be?"

"Everyone, stop arguing, let's see what the Taoist has to say!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Lu Heng, waiting for him to reveal the truth.

Lu Heng began slowly, "This Smith Wang isn't a traditional scammer!"

"Not a traditional scammer?"

Upon hearing this, August 9th was greatly surprised.

The viewers felt the same.

Lu Heng unhurriedly continued, "He is a new type of scammer, not only intends to cheat your money, but even you!"

"The thirty thousand yuan Young Friend Liu sent, if nothing unexpected happens, will be returned in full within three days, along with a considerable interest."

Hmm?

These words caused the viewers to be stunned for a moment.

Soon, the quick-witted viewers realized.

"This scammer wants both money and people, two birds with one stone!"

"Lending money and returning it means building trust, then setting up for a bigger con?"

"Damn, the scammer dares to deceive my mother-in-law!"

"Damn scammers dare to trick my future wife!"

"Looking at this scammer's tactics, it's likely they're a seasoned pro."

"First, appeal emotionally, then financially build trust, ultimately scam your person, and clean out your money?"

"Scamming both money and people, definitely not a traditional scammer!"

"This type of scammer is outrageous, they previously only cheated money, now they've upgraded to scamming both people and money."

"So, their identity must be fake too?"

"Nonsense! If they were really a retired foreign naval captain, would they need to travel far to find a wife?"

Watching the comments, August 9th nodded repeatedly, very much agreeing with everyone's opinions.

She advised again, "Mom, look, even the Taoist says that Smith Wang is a scammer!"

"No...impossible!"

August 9th's mother turned pale, a look of disbelief on her face.

Lu Heng asked, "Young Friend Liu, you previously said you got along well with him, like old friends who haven't seen each other for years, right?"

August 9th's mother didn't respond, only instinctively nodded.

"That's because he had someone investigate your personal information."

"For your character, experience, work, etc., he's already well-informed."

"And it's precisely because of this understanding that he could quickly establish a relationship with you..."

Lu Heng said blandly, "You could say from the start, this was a scam!"
