Mr. Jiang immediately reported the case to the Shuijingfang police station. Through online questioning of eight victimized women in a group chat, the police verified that Yu Jie had contacted them through the internet. Once they got familiar with each other, he would bring up his fabricated love story: He was studying in Hong Kong when he fell in love with his fiancée. Just as they were about to enter the marriage hall, his fiancée died in a car accident, and for this reason, he was left with lifelong disabilities. However, he portrayed himself as someone who was strong-willed despite physical challenges and due to his outstanding work, he was appointed as the real estate director of his company. "His story was touching, and one's heart would soften and agree to meet him," said the victimized women. After meeting, Yu Jie always spent generously on them, but afterward, he would find various excuses to ask them for money.
Unattractive in appearance and physically disabled, 26-year-old Ma Deng quickly became a "love guru" thanks to his prestigious identity as the real estate director of a certain group, charming many women. During an investigation into a fraud case, the police gradually uncovered Ma Deng's true face: he was just an emotional swindler roaming across the country, specifically targeting emotionally vulnerable housewives interested in his fake identity. When the police apprehended Ma Deng, he lifted his shirt to reveal scars all over his arms from cigarette burns: "Each scar represents a woman I've deceived; my goal is to deceive 100!" On the 18th, the Shuijingfang police station in Chengdu announced this case.
During the trial, Ma Deng lifted his shirt to show the scars on his arms caused by cigarette burns: "There are about 90 scars now. Each scar represents a woman I've deceived; my goal is 100!" Even more audaciously, Ma Deng declared to the police: "I won't confess voluntarily. You find out one case, and I'll admit one!" According to *Tianfu Morning Post*.
As Mr. Jiang further interacted with the young director, he discovered that the latter knew absolutely nothing about real estate knowledge and was completely clueless when it came to professional issues. Gradually, Mr. Jiang began to doubt Yu Jie's identity.
Being cautious, Mr. Jiang checked online and found not only that there was no one named Yu Jie in the China Resources Group, but also numerous posts condemning Yu Jie appeared online. There was even a dedicated group where seven or eight married housewives cursed Yu Jie's misdeeds collectively... It was then that Mr. Jiang understood that Yu Jie was merely a thorough emotional swindler, and he was the only male victim.
Impressed by Yu Jie's prestigious identity, contractor Mr. Jiang started thinking about how to build a relationship with him. Therefore, when Yu Jie mentioned that his credit card was locked and asked Mr. Jiang to lend some money to help pay for accommodation fees, Mr. Jiang didn't hesitate and handed over 5,000 yuan to help him out.
On the evening of February 5, Mr. Jiang and his colleagues went to a bar near Jiuyan Bridge to drink. While everyone was having fun, a waiter brought over an expensive bottle of foreign liquor: "The gentleman next door has already paid for it; he invites you to drink." At this moment, Mr. Jiang noticed a man at the neighboring table. Out of politeness, Mr. Jiang invited the man to join their table, and they enjoyed drinks together. In conversation, Mr. Jiang learned that the man was named Yu Jie, the real estate director of the China Resources Group in Hong Kong, currently staying at the Shangri-La Hotel.
In early March, the Shuijingfang police station arrested Yu Jie, revealing his true identity. His real name was Ma Deng, 26 years old, from Ningxia. The police verified that Ma Deng indeed had a disability, but it was caused by a tractor accident in the countryside while drunk. Over the years, Ma Deng's fraudulent activities had spread across Guangzhou, Ningxia, Kunming, Xi'an, and other places.
