"Faith" is a very sacred word, which represents people's deepest determination and pursuit. However, "faith" should also have a degree, not believing everything.
Just like Hua Ya (pseudonym), she suffered for 7 years of mind control because she easily believed in Liu Meiting (pseudonym), a self-proclaimed "mysterious reincarnation".
When Hua Ya was still in school, she met Liu Meiting, a "reincarnated person" who claimed to have mysterious powers, through online chat.
At the beginning, Hua Ya was only attracted by Liu Meiting's so-called "metaphysical" ability, and felt that she could answer some of the questions she encountered in life, which led to Hua Ya's interest in Liu Meiting.
"Sister Ting, do you think I can pass this exam?" Hua Ya typed out this line on the keyboard, looking forward to Liu Meiting's reply.
"Of course you can, but I have mystical powers, and with the help of my powerful power, you can definitely get by." Liu Meiting's replies are always so confident and affirmative, which makes Hua Ya believe her words.
Seeing Hua Ya believe in herself so much, Liu Meiting began to try to mentally control Hua Ya. Because she noticed from the previous chat with Hua Ya that Hua Ya's family was very rich. In reality, Liu Meiting lies in the rental house every day and does not do her job, she wants to try to mentally control Hua Ya and then cheat money.
She claimed that her previous life was a mysterious being in the high-dimensional world, while Hua Ya lived in the low-dimensional world. Liu Meiting said that she paid a huge price to help Hua Ya in her previous life, so Hua Ya needs to repay this "debt" in this life.
In order to "repay the debt", Hua Ya was asked by Liu Meiting to keep transferring money, and the amount gradually increased from a few thousand yuan at the beginning to tens of thousands of yuan per month. Hua Ya began to feel powerless, but she didn't dare to go against Liu Meiting's wishes, for fear that she would be "punished".
In addition to economic exploitation, Liu Meiting also inflicted long-term physical and mental torture on Hua Ya. She has set a series of strict rules, and if Hua Ya fails to complete the tasks she has assigned to her, she will be severely "punished".
"Why are you wearing the wrong clothes again? It's useless! Go, run me ten laps with the camera on, it's a punishment! Liu Meiting's words made Hua Ya feel frightened, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to go for a run obediently.
During these seven years, Hua Ya suffered greatly. Not only was she forced to interrupt her studies, but she also mortgaged the property that her parents had given her.
Liu Meiting's greed is not satisfied, and she even plans to smuggle Hua Ya abroad to engage in illegal activities to earn more money.
"Hua Ya, I have a plan that will allow you to make more money. As long as you smuggle abroad, you can help me do a lot of things. When the time comes, you'll be able to pay off all your debts. Liu Meiting's words made Hua Ya feel scared, but she didn't dare to refuse.
Fortunately, the plan was opposed by Ms. Liu's former colleague Zhang Mei (not her real name). Zhang Mei used to work with Liu Meiting, and met Hua Ya under Liu Meiting's introduction and became Hua Ya's "master".
The two wanted to cheat Hua Ya's money together, but the two had a disagreement on this matter, and Zhang Mei felt that it was dangerous to smuggle abroad.
After much consideration, Zhang Mei decided to expose the scam to Hua Ya.
"Hua Ya, for the sake of you who have been calling me "Master" before, you must listen carefully to what I say today. Liu Meiting has been lying to you for the past few years! What she said was a lie, she was just trying to scam you out of your money! โ
"However, she said that she was a mysterious existence in the high-dimensional world in her previous life, and she also said that I owe her a debt......" Hua Ya's words made Zhang Mei feel helpless, but she still patiently explained to Hua Ya.
"Those are all lies she made up! She's just using your trust and kindness to scam you out of your money! You can't trust her anymore! Zhang Mei's words made Hua Ya slowly sober up.
Accompanied by her family, Hua Ya sued Liu Meiting.
The court conducted an in-depth investigation and trial of the case and finally rendered a fair verdict. The court held that Liu Meiting, for the purpose of illegal possession, had carried out mental control and fraud over Hua Ya for a long time by fabricating facts and concealing the truth, and her behavior was extremely bad and had constituted the crime of fraud.
In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the court sentenced Liu Meiting to 6 years and 7 months in prison, and ordered her to return all illegal gains and compensate Hua Ya for the economic losses and moral damages suffered by Hua Ya. At the same time, the court also severely admonished Liu Meiting, hoping that she could deeply reflect on her behavior and be a new person.
In this case, we see the ugly face of fraud and also feel the power of justice. The court's harsh verdict on Liu Meiting not only brought justice to Hua Ya, but also sounded the alarm for the majority of netizens.
In this era of information explosion, we are dealing with all kinds of people and all kinds of information every day. In this process, we must keep a clear head and not easily believe the words and promises of others. Especially when someone tries to get us to transfer money or pay money under the guise of "faith", we should be more vigilant, because this is likely to be the beginning of fraud.
Remember, any "faith" for the purpose of transferring money is a scam. True faith is the firmness and pursuit of the heart, which does not require the exchange of money, let alone the control and manipulation of others.
When we encounter a similar situation, we must stay calm and seek help from family, friends or relevant departments in time to jointly expose and combat this kind of fraud.
