A 60-year-old man surprisingly managed to make five 985 female college students willingly go to a hotel with him.

Not only did the girls proactively pay for the room, but they also actively cooperated with the old man to act as a married couple, blurring the lines between acting and reality.
After the act, the girls still felt excited and proud. This isn’t a novel, but it’s almost like one.
It truly happened on the campus of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan.
On a morning in November 2014, at 10 a.m., early-rising female student Xiao Qun was preparing to go eat.
At this moment, an old man suddenly blocked her way, with a furrowed brow and a serious expression.
He looked around cautiously, then approached with a very stern demeanor, lowering his voice to ask Xiao Qun where the Youth Park was.
Xiao Qun, who was naturally timid, was genuinely startled by the stranger’s behavior.
Just as she was about to answer, the old man took out a black ID card with gold-embossed characters from his pocket.
Xiao Qun was stunned to see the words “National Agent” written on it. Before she could react, the old man quickly put the ID back into his pocket.
He quietly told Xiao Qun that he was arresting transnational criminals, and the target was in Youth Park.
Afterward, he used an earpiece to report to his superiors, requesting Xiao Qun’s assistance. The alert Xiao Qun hesitated—this sounded like a movie plot, and there could be life-threatening danger.
The old man assured her that the mission was simple and safe, and that she could earn a commendation. Xiao Qun’s eyes lit up—this was a great opportunity to join the Party officially.
She readily agreed, and the old man immediately reported to his superiors that he had found a helper, instructing Xiao Qun to pretend to be his daughter as cover.
He took Xiao Qun’s hand and led her forward. Xiao Qun thought to herself that this old man was quite professional.
Everything seemed to fit the image of an agent. As they walked, the old man pointed out a few suspicious passersby. Xiao Qun tried to stay natural, noticing that these people indeed looked suspicious.
Suddenly, her earpiece transmitted urgent news: the assistant nearby disguised as a pancake vendor had been exposed, and the criminal gang drove their car to hit him along with a tricycle for over ten meters. He was now in ICU for emergency treatment.
Then her superior asked if the female college student helping him was reliable. The old man replied: “I trust my judgment.”
He then asked for her ID card and student ID to confirm she was a student.
Thus, under the old man’s strong recommendation, Xiao Qun was honorably appointed as a temporary agent.
This sudden recognition made her both excited and nervous, causing her to unconsciously straighten her posture while walking.
Soon, the old man took her to a hospital near the school. As they arrived at the entrance, he used safety as a reason to let Xiao Qun wait outside while he hurried into the hospital lobby.
After about ten minutes, the old man came out with a grim face. He whispered into his earpiece about urgently needing funds, explaining the situation.
His assistant had been seriously injured in the mission, bleeding heavily and needing immediate surgery, but the hospital required payment upfront.
The organization’s rule was not to reveal identities, but he had run out of cash, and the special funds would take at least two hours to arrive, while his assistant’s life was at risk.
As a national agent, he couldn’t just stand by and watch him die. Xiao Qun suddenly felt a surge of patriotism, and without hesitation, emptied her bank card, even giving up her dinner money for tomorrow, stuffing it into the old man’s hand.
The old man looked at her gratefully and then ran back into the hospital. Another ten minutes later, he came out looking anxious, pulling Xiao Qun to leave without a word.
He lowered his voice and said: “We might have been exposed. You can’t go back alone.”
Just then, her superior’s instructions came through her earpiece, suggesting they go to a nearby hotel to hide temporarily.
Hearing this, the old man looked uncomfortable—this didn’t seem quite right. He hesitated before relaying the order and quickly explained to his superiors.
Xiao Qun was stunned—she didn’t know these people, and now they had to stay in the same room, but she really couldn’t go back to school.
Thinking of the intense scenes she experienced that afternoon, she suddenly felt excited again—this was a matter of national security, so what are small details?
With mixed feelings of nervousness and anticipation, Xiao Qun followed the old man into the hotel, bouncing happily.
To avoid exposing her identity as an agent, she voluntarily registered with her ID and paid for the room with her card.
As soon as the door closed, the old man said seriously: “To make the cover more convincing, we need to pretend to be a real married couple.”
He said: “You hear sounds outside, it really sounds like someone is walking back and forth.”
In the dim hotel room, the old man lowered his voice gravely: “We must pretend to be a couple. Only couples or lovers have a reason to stay in a hotel room.”
This made Xiao Qun’s heart race, her palms sweating, yet a strange sense of dangerous excitement surged within her.
Suddenly, the old man stood up and moved to the window, pulling the curtain with a loud rustle. His sharp gaze swept the ceiling, then he made a secret gesture.
Xiao Qun followed his cue and looked up, noticing the red light on the smoke detector flickering strangely.
He whispered to Xiao Qun: “This room is bugged. It’s a surveillance device that records audio and video simultaneously. We’re being watched, so we need to act more like a couple.”
Under the old man’s hint, Xiao Qun and he took showers one after the other, then lay on the bed, honest and open.
The old man said to shout loudly so the suspect outside could hear, making them believe we’re a real couple. Then the woman would do everything.
He took off his clothes and kept talking into the earpiece non-stop, giving the impression that he was constantly communicating with colleagues outside, with the situation constantly changing.
The next morning, the old man looked relaxed and told Xiao Qun that the danger was over and all suspects had been caught.
He sent Xiao Qun back to school, mysteriously saying the organization would notify the school authorities.
On the way back, Xiao Qun was still immersed in the excitement of being a hero, her chest pounding as if she had just completed a century-long mission.
Back in her dorm, she couldn’t wait to tell her roommate about it, expecting to hear screams and praise. Instead, her roommates’ reactions grew more and more strange.
Under their questioning and analysis, Xiao Qun suddenly realized she had been deceived.
Furious, she immediately went to the police station to report. After hearing her story, the police officers were shocked but couldn’t blame the 985 university student’s poor judgment—only their inexperience.
The police quickly acted, reviewing surveillance footage from the hotel and nearby roads, and soon apprehended the suspect.
The young old man was named Cao, a worker at a nearby factory, 57 years old.
What surprised the police even more was that Cao admitted this was his fifth time committing crimes.
He targeted college students because of their innocence, buying props and scripting his own scenarios.
The old man said: “I didn’t have any specific target. I just thought students seemed naive and easy to trick.”
After successfully deceiving for money and affection the first time, he became addicted and kept trying, often coming to the campus to find new targets.
Besides Xiao Qun, the other four students might have chosen to stay silent out of pride.
