Have all the project leaders and various strongholds of the "swing machine" project been found?
Yu Zhou found it hard to believe, as the speed was simply too fast.
It had only been half a day since he entered the police station, and they had already found them all?
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, it was just that this speed made Yu Zhou feel that the matter was completely unreal.
"Actually, we had already obtained clues about these gangs before, but they rarely did anything illegal, so we didn't implement any arrests."
"This time, they actually started kidnapping. No matter what, there are definitely many internal matters that we couldn't investigate, so it's natural to want to catch them."
This was what the police officer who came to report said.
In fact, in this era, regarding the "swing machine" project, which was pyramid schemes, people truly didn't have many solutions.
After all, pyramid schemes were not yet considered illegal organizations, and even if there were other issues, the sentencing couldn't be entirely based on public will.
Some things could only be truly dealt with decisively once the laws were fully perfected.
To put it bluntly, there were bound to be people operating in a gray area, as this so-called business was entirely about making something out of nothing.
As a result, even those who had their money scammed ultimately felt in their hearts that they just hadn't persevered enough.
There was always a gap between ideals and reality, so some people had to accept it, even if they couldn't.
Of course, this type of crime, even after subsequent legislation declaring it an illegal organization, remained rampant.
A scheme used for decades, yet still able to make money, it's easy to imagine how many people have been scammed by this scheme, and how many people have truly understood the dangers of society.
"In fact, this type of organization appears harmless, but to make money, they engage in many illegal activities."
"Although the money each person contributes isn't a lot, and some even make money by recruiting others."
"However, the ones who truly suffer losses are the bottom-level salespeople, those who have been brainwashed in the lower echelons of the pyramid scheme."
"Alas, immense profits always come with the sweat and tears of countless people."
Yu Zhou knew very clearly in his heart that this thing, strictly speaking, was a scam.
However, before there was legislation, this "swing machine" project, this pyramid scheme, essentially operated on the fringes of the law.
They controlled people's freedom of movement, wasn't that illegal?
If pushed to extremes, they would even abduct people off the streets to participate in the project, which was also a serious violation of the law.
This was because, over time, those so-called big bosses gradually became dissatisfied with people joining willingly.
And in this era, for a vast organization to cause a few deaths for profit, to make an example, was not an exaggeration. Naturally, the organizers of these "swing machine" projects became even more arrogant, growing larger and larger like a snowball.
"Yes, currently, since there is no prohibition, they take it as permission."
"The introduction of a law itself takes a great deal of time. I hope that by the time the true law is introduced, such organizations will gradually be eradicated!"
This police officer was part of the headquarters staff who handled both criminal and economic cases.
His channels for receiving information were naturally completely different from ordinary police officers.
In his opinion, this "swing machine" project was very harmful to society.
Although it dealt with many so-called idle individuals, they did not engage in production, and even labor was absent, which was a great waste of labor.
It was a pity that the current laws could only address criminal aspects, and economic cases had not reached that point, nor had relevant laws been introduced.
It was extremely difficult, if not impossible, for them to initiate action from this angle.
Upon hearing his words, Yu Zhou couldn't help but give a wry smile.
This police officer had somewhat underestimated the terrifying nature of such organizations.
Even with explicit prohibitions and the introduction of laws against such organizations, they would only become more covert and low-key in their continued development.
Greed for wealth moves people, a truth everyone understood. In the face of enormous profits, there were plenty of people willing to take risks.
Let alone an organization that preached that everyone could achieve immense profits.
"Mr. Yu, are you interested in going to your former residence to see the arrest scene?"
"No one in that house can escape. Because in just one day, we found four instances of kidnapping within that group alone."
"Among them, you and Ms. Tang are the most direct witnesses."
The police officer continued, this gave Yu Zhou an opportunity to hold his head high and put those people in their place.
It would be strange if Yu Zhou didn't seize such an opportunity.
However, if it were truly as Yu Zhou thought, he didn't really consider returning to confront those people as a way to vent his anger.
Once a person reaches a certain level, their perspective naturally broadens.
If the boss of this organization was caught and would appear immediately, Yu Zhou wouldn't mind going to see.
However, it was just a group of pawns, so Yu Zhou's interest wasn't particularly high.
But just because Yu Zhou's interest wasn't high didn't mean others' wouldn't be!
Tang Yan, who was full of indignation and eager to witness the capture of these people firsthand, was the most obvious.
Her face was already flushed red.
Although she had been there before, her hatred for those people had only grown, and now, with such an opportunity to triumph, Tang Yan felt she would be letting herself down if she missed it.
And the police officer was clearly asking for his opinion, so Tang Yan turned her gaze to Yu Zhou, looking as if she wanted Yu Zhou to agree so she could go along and see.
Alright, Yu Zhou nodded reluctantly. They had just escaped a wolf's den and were about to enter another.
How could he feel like he wasn't learning his lesson?
Although Yu Zhou knew better than anyone that this time they were going in to destroy the wolf's den.
However, thinking of this, Yu Zhou no longer struggled. After all, it was good to go back and see.
At least he could see the regretful faces of the young people who had tied him up.
