Chapter 154

154 Disgusting Scam

From the beginning, Rachel actually had noticed the condition of the empty room. They really didn’t respect the workers, so there didn’t seem to be any mineral water at all, neither on the table nor in the corner of the room. Rachel had guessed that they didn’t store drinks, not even under the table. Therefore, Rachel turned their cruelty to her advantage.

While Rayn was gone, with her speed reading skills, Rachel rummaged through the contents of the papers. From a short screening, she found that the file had twelve copies, which gave her sixty pages of tiny fronts. Just imagine, how could an elderly be able to read it all in an hour?

Rachel could guess the trick used by the Creeper. She was sure that usually, people would only check the front, middle, and end of the page to make sure that the contents were really the same as the first file. Because of that, Rachel had purposely read the third of the twelve printouts of the contract files. And sure enough, she finally found the deadly mine.

In the third file, there was written that the contract was the latest agreement that had been properly read and approved by the loan recipient. By signing the contract, it meant that all signed agreements were invalid and only this file of the contract was valid.

They listed all their crimes in that legal contract file.

1. Interest of fifty percent which will be doubled in the first two weeks after the loan date, will be charged according to the remaining nominal of the loan. So, if the debtor does not pay the debt within two weeks of receiving the money, then the interest will change to one hundred percent.

2. Subsequent interest will be increased by twenty percent every month.

3. If the debtor is late in paying the debt or at least the interest, there will be an additional twenty percent interest.

4. The debtor agrees to refuse legal protection. And if the debtor cannot repay the debt, s/he agrees to comply with all sanctions given by the lender regardless of the form of the sanctions.

.....

Rachel gritted her teeth. Then, she immediately put the original file into her coat and signed the other files.

Suddenly, the door opened. Rachel immediately feigned another cough as she signed the files in slow motion, as if she had become very weak. It turned out that the one who entered from behind the door was Emma. However, Rayn appeared behind Emma to come in with two bottles of water.

“Have a drink, please,” Rayn said by placing the bottles on the table.

“Thank you very much,” Rachel replied in a sarcastic tone. Then, she turned her body to the side and lowered the mask to under her lips before quickly swallowing a few sips of the water.

“Ah.. looks like you’ve finished reading all the files, haven’t you?” Rayn said happily when he saw that almost all the papers on the table had signatures on them. Like everyone else, the woman named Jess must have been too tired to read the sixty pages and decided to just sign it anyway. They were village people, after all. Rayn couldn’t help but laugh inside.

“When everything is signed, you can take out your original identity card and your work card, okay? I’ll process it right away. After that, we’ll proceed to finger tapping on each letter as a sign of completion.” Rayn explained again.

“Ok,” Rachel answered.

But secretly, Rachel and Emma glanced at each other. Of course, they did not have identity cards or even work cards. It looked like they had to put an end to this charade.

After Rachel had finished signing all the files, she pretended to reach into her pants pocket to pull out her wallet. But when her hand was still in her pocket, she immediately looked at Emma with a shocked look, “My head.. My.. Head ..”

BUGH!!

Rachel fell unconscious to the side. This made Ryan and Emma immediately stand up in a panic.

“Gosh! What happens with your friend?” Ryan asked quickly.

“Jess! Jess! Wake up!” Emma shook Rachel frantically. Then, she looked at Ryan with watery eyes, “My friend passed out. Actually, she was starving since three hours ago. Looks like her Gerd relapses.”

“Tsk!” Rayn held his head. The two country girls were troublesome for real. He was just about to receive his first bonus if this woman signed the contract. ‘You damn girls!’

“I have to take her to the hospital. I’m afraid she’ll hurt her stomach. Can you help call an ambulance or a taxi?” Emma asked quickly.

Ryan rolled his eyes, “Sorry. We don’t provide medical services for anyone who faints here.”

Emma could only grit her teeth seeing Ryan’s expression which had turned into a very annoying one. As she expected, the demon had two faces, which one of them he used to incite potential victims. It seemed that he was showing his true face now.

“W-well.. I’ll call a taxi by myself,” Emma said as she grabbed her cell phone from her pocket.

“Shut the door when you’re done and carry your friends out. I have a lot of wasted important business to do because of you.” Ryan said by walking away, leaving the two women in the room.

After Ryan left, Emma’s cell phone rang. It was the taxi driver who told her that he couldn’t enter the Chingsu District gate because he was being held back by the guards. Then, Emma brought her face close to Rachel’s and whispered, “I’ll be right back.”

Emma left Rachel lying on the floor. She approached the receptionist’s desk and asked the female employee there to contact the guard who was on duty at the gate post to let the taxi in. Luckily, the woman felt sorry for Emma who looked panicked because her friend had fainted, so she did what Emma asked.

When the taxi arrived, the female receptionist and her male partner helped Emma carry Rachel’s large body into the taxi.

“I’m really grateful for your help. Sorry to bother you all,” Emma said earnestly.

The two receptionists shook their heads with a smile, “No problem. You’d better get going before someone from above sees this.” The female receptionist said.

“Okay. Thank you.. Bye,” Emma nodded quickly, getting into the car. Then the taxi drove away, crossed the long Chingsu District road and finally arrived at the front gate.

Emma’s chest was pounding quite hard when the taxi was again stopped by several guards on duty at the gate. Emma and the taxi driver had to open their car windows wide. The taxi driver must also retrieve his identity card from the guard post. Luckily, Emma still managed to escape because the guards could see Rachel was laying on Emma’s lap with sweat dripping down her forehead and hair. Previously, Rachel used her drinking water to make that wet appearance on her forehead.

Since the two girls were indeed wearing factory uniforms, it was considered enough to prove that they weren’t outsiders. Finally, the taxi was allowed to pass smoothly.

After getting far enough from the gate, Rachel opened her eyes. The two girls smiled amusedly, holding back laughter. Their first plan worked.

“Sir, please drop us off in front of the mini-market,” Emma pointed to a building with a white light shining brightly because the sky was starting to darken.

“Okay. But, what about your friend, Miss?” The driver asked while looking in the top rearview mirror.

Emma shook her head, “She is awake now. My brother works at the mini-market. He will take us to the hospital after this,”

“Oh.. Alright then,” The driver replied as he pulled the yellow car aside.

Emma paid for the taxi before getting off by carrying Rachel who was still pretending to be weak until the taxi had really left them.

Rachel and Emma burst out laughing. They were very happy to be able to fool the many bad people in Chingsu District. Well.. although Emma felt a little guilty towards the two receptionists who were pretty kind to helping her earlier. Maybe the two of them could get into trouble later if Emma and Rachel’s infiltration was exposed.

Not long after, a different taxi approached them. Emma and Rachel quickly got in it before the sky completely darkened. The black taxi took them to the border wall of Chingsu District where Emma parked her motorbike. It was already so dark there, so they were forced to walk while groping a little for fear of being caught if they used a flashlight.

Finally, the two girls made it to their motorbike and changed back into their previous clothes and drove home. At Emma’s house, they immediately sat down on the sofa to discuss the results of their mission today. Really, they still had so much energy left that they didn’t seem to feel tired at all.

Emma placed two glasses of warm chamomile tea on the table before sitting down next to Rachel who was focusing on some of the papers scattered on the same table.

“So, that’s the trap?” Emma asked with a sip of tea which instantly warmed her body.

Rachel nodded. Previously, she had told Emma what had happened and what she found when Emma was going to the toilet. She handed the paper to the girl beside her with an annoyed face. The thought of her grandfather being scammed into signing the contracts made her furious. It seemed that the grandfather did not even dare to tell Rachel that he was actually using his work contract as a guarantee. Now her grandfather had become a cash cow belonging to the Creeper.

Emma took the papers and read them carefully. She even had to furrow her brows when she read the tiny writings on the paper. While reading that, Emma kept shaking her head.

“What a jerk. That group is a total jerk.” Emma growled. “This is tantamount to them trapping people into slavery. How are those people able to pay off debts if the interest continues to grow crazy like this? Those people are working half to death and all their wages have to be handed over to that damn group? They’re f*cking filthy!”
