Looking at Little Hou's nonchalant demeanor, Lu Heng was completely numbed.
He had seen fools before.
He had also seen bootlickers.
But a fool like this bootlicker—this was the first time.
Little brother, you've at least gone to college, right? Quickly, turn that rusty brain of yours, carefully think about what's really going on.
"Young Friend Hou, if my humble self hasn't miscalculated, hasn't she borrowed a lot of money from you over these five years?"
"Money that's borrowed and never returned—how could that mean no loss at all?"
Lu Heng said helplessly.
The viewers in the live stream were speechless too.
This young guy doesn't seem stupid, so why is he so pig-headed, unable to turn a corner?
"Bro, I'm calling you bro. Your brain really doesn't work like a normal person's!"
"Little Hou, calling you dim-witted is actually an insult to the word 'dim-witted'."
"Borrowing money repeatedly over five years without repaying, why do you still act like nothing's wrong?"
"Damn it, do you even have a brain? I'm so pissed that I want to smash the computer screen."
"Hurry up and call the police, what are you standing there for?"
"Don't be dumb, what normal girl keeps borrowing money from you before marriage?"
"Right, borrowing without returning—if that's not a scam, I'll cut my ass off and make it a cup for you!"
"I... I still don't want to believe it..."
Little Hou, though his face was a bit pale, still shook his head decisively.
Clearly, he hadn't hit a wall hard enough to turn back.
Lu Heng rolled his eyes and held his forehead.
When someone is this bull-headed, it's terrifying!
For someone like this, you really have to let them hit the wall hard, until their head is split and bleeding.
Let them know how treacherous this society can be!
With that thought, Lu Heng stopped beating around the bush and directly asked, "Let me ask you, the aunt and uncle staying at your place right now, they should be out, right?"
"Mm!"
Little Hou nodded honestly, "Every day after dinner, they go out for a walk and won't be back for an hour."
Lu Heng said again, "Do you still trust my humble self, Young Friend Hou?"
"Master, your fortune-telling is so accurate, of course I trust you."
Little Hou replied with a smile.
Trust my ass!
I told you already, your online girlfriend is a scammer, did you believe it?
Hearing this, Lu Heng couldn't help but cynically comment in his heart.
Then, he said expressionlessly, "Young Friend Hou, can you move the camera in your room to the room next door?"
The room next door?
Isn't that the room of the aunt and uncle?
Little Hou was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Master, isn't it kind of wrong to put a camera in someone else's room?"
"Is that someone else's room?"
"Isn't this your own house?"
"If you trust me, do as I say."
Lu Heng said without leaving room for doubt.
"Well... okay."
After hesitating for a moment, Little Hou finally nodded in agreement.
He followed Lu Heng's instructions and moved his camera to the adjacent room.
Under Lu Heng's direction, he also made some simple camouflage.
"Master, what should I do next?"
Little Hou asked.
"Wait for your girlfriend's aunt and uncle to come back."
Lu Heng answered blandly.
About ten minutes later, the aunt and uncle, who were out for a digestive walk, finally returned.
Before Little Hou could say anything, Lu Heng directly said, "Now you go out, video call your online girlfriend, and chat as you usually do."
Little Hou had a rather compliant personality.
If persuaded gently, it might not have any effect, but strict orders worked very well.
Little Hou quickly picked up his phone, greeted his aunt and uncle, and left the house.
Finding a quiet corner, he followed Lu Heng's instructions and sent a video call to his online girlfriend.
Soon, his video call was rejected, but his online girlfriend texted him back.
"I'm eating now, try video calling me again in five minutes!"
"Okay!"
Little Hou smiled contentedly.
He simply wouldn't believe that such a sweet girlfriend could be a scammer.
After five minutes, Little Hou sent another video call.
This time, the video call was accepted immediately, and a long-haired girl appeared on his phone screen.
After chatting sweetly for a while, Little Hou reluctantly ended the call.
Returning to the live stream, he grinned and said, "Master, my girlfriend is still as adorable as ever."
Love-struck idiots never HOUSE!
Lu Heng smirked and said, "You can go home now."
"Oh."
Little Hou, clueless, didn't ask much and turned back home.
Lu Heng said again, "Go check the surveillance footage and let everyone see it!"
Little Hou nodded, turned on the computer, and found the surveillance recordings stored on the hard drive.
The result—watching the footage—not only left Little Hou dumbfounded, but even the live stream viewers were stunned.
"Holy crap! Little Hou's online girlfriend is actually the aunt?"
"What kind of evil technique is this? How did makeup make her look like a twenty-something girl?"
"Makeup + beauty filter, truly evil, I give in!"
"Hahaha, I knew it! Little Hou's girlfriend is a married woman, no... a married 'auntie'!"
"Seeing the 'aunt' coyly acting girlish—I'm gonna puke!"
"Whoah, it's not just Little Hou being duped! Other guys have been scammed by the 'aunt' too."
"If this 'aunt' were twenty years younger, wouldn't she be the Sea Queen of all Sea Queens?"
"Boohoo... Why can't I find a boyfriend? Please, 'aunt', teach a class, I'll listen on my knees..."
In the surveillance footage, when Little Hou sent the video call to his online girlfriend, the "aunt's" phone suddenly rang.
Soon after, the "aunt" hung up the video call and, with the "uncle's" help, started putting on makeup.
Then, there was the "aunt" video chatting with Little Hou, her mannerisms so exaggerated it gave people goosebumps.
After finishing with Little Hou, the "aunt" started video chatting with someone else...
Clearly, the "aunt" and "uncle" were a pair of scammers.
They had no idea how many lovestruck fools like Little Hou they had scammed.
After this blow, Little Hou's eyes were vacant, his expression desolate.
His so-called romance turned out to be just a scam.
His genuine feelings were casually trampled and toyed with.
At this moment, the honest man was furious!
"Master, I'm going to report this to the police right now!"
This sentence, Little Hou practically said through gritted teeth.
After saying it, he directly hung up the call, presumably off to report the crime.
The viewers were left sighing.
"I can understand Little Hou's feelings. If it were me, finding out my online lover was an 'auntie', I'd probably break down too."
"I feel that the 'auntie' isn't that bad, at least after makeup, there's some appeal."
"Whoa, dude, your taste is a bit heavy!"
"In the end, lights off are all the same, maybe the 'auntie' is more considerate?"
"Haha, having an online romance with an 'auntie' is better than one with a stinky footed Great Han, right? Always look on the bright side."
"You guys really aren't picky, I applaud you!"
"Only talents like you deserve to be freeloaders, no preference for meat or vegetables!"
