Chapter 63: Entering the Jar
by Jessie@AFNCCThe punks dispersed unhappily, Huang Yong got up and patted the dust on his ass, knocked on the door and shouted, “Wife, it’s me, open the door.”
Half a dozen times later, Huang Yong’s wife opened a doorway and saw that the group of punks were not there before putting down their hearts and letting Huang Yong into the house.
Cheng Ming and Shen Xiao hurriedly followed, knocking politely on the door and asking, “We’re looking for Mr. Huang Yong Huang, may I ask if he’s home?”
“Who are you guys? What is it that you are looking for me for?” Huang Yong asked impatiently.
Huang Yong’s wife, Zhan Qiaoyun, obviously still had an impression of Cheng Ming and Shen Xiao, but didn’t say anything at first.
“It’s the vice president of Hongyuan Construction Engineering Company Limited, Ye Binsong, who sent us.”
“Macrobuilt?”
Huang Yong didn’t react much to Ye Binsong’s name, but he was impressed by Hongyuan Construction.
Ye Bin Song hasn’t come to contact him yet?
“The demolition company? The sketchy company that broke my leg.” Huang Yong roared.
“We’re not in the demolition business, we’re a regular real estate open house. But we also know very well that that incident back then caused irreversible damage to you and your family, and we are very sorry. Although it’s a bit late now, we still want to give you a small and insignificant compensation.”
Cheng Ming handed over the thick envelope, he gave Huang Yong the most money.
As soon as Huang Yong touched the envelope, the corner of his mouth hooked up, revealing a smile, and immediately opened the envelope, looking at the red banknotes inside, his cloudy eyes suddenly regained their vigor.
Huang Yong immediately stuffed the money into his pocket, covered it with his hand, and walked towards the door.
Zhan Qiaoyun retained, “Dinner is almost ready, have dinner before you go.”
“No, you and the kids eat first, and when I make back all the money I lost and pay off my debts, I’ll take you all to a big dinner.”
Standard gambler’s mentality, ah, lose want to turn over the money, win want to win, so more and more deeper and deeper.
“Why are you giving him the money? He’s about to take this money and go to the casino to squander it away.” Shen Xiao shook Cheng Ming’s body and asked in disbelief.
“I was afraid he wouldn’t go to the casino.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll explain it to you later.”
Cheng Ming and Zhan Qiaoyun nodded slightly and said, “Excuse me.”
Two little heads popped up over the window, presumably Suzaku and Suzuyu.
The glass of the window was only half left, and the irregular sharp jagged teeth looked shocking, it looked like it had been broken by human beings.
“Sister Shen Shin, take me to the casino where Huang Yong often goes.”
“Going now?”
“Well, it is now.”
Shen Shin led Cheng Ming to the small casino disguised as a grocery store, brightly lit and noisy.
“He frequents this store, and the one across the street also has a casino inside. But it’s only this time of the day and it’s so busy, there’s more people than the last few days.”
“I sent them money, it’s a wonder it wasn’t lively.”
“You do it on purpose? Specializing in giving away money to those who like to gamble.”
It was only then that Shen Xiao, who was an afterthought, reacted.
“I’m going to call the police later and arrest all these gamblers.”
“The police don’t have time for little things like gambling, do they?”
“It’s still here to catch a break when performance is needed.”
Cheng Ming scratched his head bitterly, this was the only loophole in the plan.
Cheng Ming’s idea is very simple, spread some money to make Huang Yong on the set, he then alarmed the police to arrest Huang Yong in, and do not need to be locked up for too long, can be locked up for more than a week is good, to avoid the opening day of June 1, to minimize the negative impact.
I guess Ye Bin Song doesn’t have that kind of ability to go to the police station to fish for people.
As for how Ye Binsong got Huang Yong to willingly sell his life, Cheng Ming did not know.
Compelling with money?
But what do you need money for when you’ve lost your life.
Threatening your wife and daughter?
But Huang Yong looked like he didn’t care about his wife and daughter at all, could it be that his words just now were a deliberate gesture of indifference in order to protect his wife and daughter?
Let’s hope so.
If Ye Binsong could find someone else to sell him another beat, that would be his skill, and Cheng Ming could only bow to it.
Even if the past life of all kinds of re-enactment, Cheng Ming’s efforts into nothing, Dad carrying a huge debt is also okay, Cheng Ming to make money to pay off is, he has done the worst intentions.
He’s just fooling around here, just hoping for less tragedy.
It didn’t matter if it was Shen Xiao’s family, Huang Yong’s family, or Jing Jing’s family and his own family. Or even ordinary employees in the company, workers and so on.
Cheng Ming’s idea was good, but he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to call the police uncle.
After all, Cheng Ming didn’t have that kind of energy or connections.
Chen Ziyi’s background seemed to be very big, but Cheng Ming wouldn’t ask her for help, and she wouldn’t necessarily help either. After all, their relationship wasn’t that good.
In case Chen ZiYi wanted to help on a whim, she couldn’t be expected to call her parents, and her tutelage seemed quite strict.
“Sister Shen Shin, I’m going in to find Huang Yong before he loses it all too early and leaves without money, can you please call the police later?”
“Shall I?” Shen Shin asked rhetorically, pointing at himself in a difficult manner.
“Sister Shen Shin doesn’t dare? That’s right, there might be your family’s relatives and friends in here. It won’t be good to stay here if you cause them to get caught.”
“There’s not much of my relatives who are good gamblers, I’m afraid I can’t call the police, as I just said, they usually don’t care about such trivial matters.”
“You can start by going to the precinct over here and calling the police, not only to say that you’re gambling, but also that Huang Yong has lost money and plans to sell his wife and daughter.”
From gambling to human trafficking, the nature is completely different.
“If they still don’t care, and say you’re joking and it’s okay not to call the police falsely, just say you’re going to the main office to call the police, and report them for not caring and not serving the people, and when it comes down to it, they’ll usually go with you. If that doesn’t work, it’s up to me to step in and go cry in front of the police station.”
If the above methods don’t work, Cheng Ming has no choice but to let his dad take extra precautions.
Cheng Ming pushed open the curtains in the grocery store and walked into the inner hall.
The hot, dry air was wrapped in the smell of smoke and sweat.
There are four gambling tables in the cramped small space, one table is mahjong, the remaining three tables are betting on cards, a group of people around the table surrounded by a group of people, one person sits in the bank, the remaining three people are the idlers, a large circle of people surrounded by the outside is to see the audience or follow the trend of betting on the bettors.
Putting the money squarely is all-in, folding it or placing it horizontally is betting half, and naturally, such small casinos are unlikely to create any chip props; real money is chips.
Every now and then, someone shouted a loud noise, and Cheng Ming only felt his ears buzzing.
Curses of remorse for betting on the wrong card, sighs of complaint about not being very lucky, and loan shark moneylenders masquerading as good Samaritans lending money.
Cheng Ming squeezed into the crowd and saw that Huang Yong was sitting in the idler’s seat, lifting his cards and winning.
It’s pretty normal to lose and win at the casino, and how can you lose more if you’re not allowed to win a handful.
“Yellow Cripple, pay me back the hundred dollars you owe me.”
Seeing Huang Yong making money, there was immediately someone to collect the debt, and Huang Yong was also very generous to draw a banknote to him.
The next few games, Huang Yong still lose and win, only the money on the table is getting less and less.
Finally, Huang Yong decided on a wave of pokies.
Unfortunately, there are no miracles, much less flops, and the dealer takes all.
Huang Yong lowered his head incredulously as everyone laughed at him.
The dealer collects the money on the table and smiles after looking at the other two idlers.
Is this a pig-killing game? The so-called nine out of ten bets are fraudulent, not to mention the various gambling props, it is quite common for three people to join together to kill a person in a pit.
It looks like the banker takes it all, but in reality, three of them split the money, and it’s quite normal for the other two idlers to be TOs.
Cheng Ming hadn’t heard the siren of the police car yet, and he didn’t know if Sister Shen Xiao had called out to the police uncle yet, but Cheng Ming couldn’t let Huang Yong go just like that.
Slapping the prepared envelope in front of Huang Yong, “Uncle Huang, this is something I forgot to give you just now.”
As if reborn, Huang Yong shouted, “Again, again.”
Cheng Ming vaguely heard the sirens of a police car, sighed, and walked out of this narrow space that made him very uncomfortable.
The people inside were still partying, completely unaware of who the honking was warning.
Shen Shin was waiting for him outside.
“Sister Shen Xiao, how is it? Did you call the police uncle?”
“Here we go, I didn’t think anyone from this side of the precinct would recognize me, my dad was a co-policeman when he was younger, he just happened to be a colleague with the squad leader on duty today, he said he’d bring someone over.”
Cheng Ming clapped his hands and said, “Then I’ve really found the right person, if I go crying in front of the police station, I might have to call my teachers and parents.”
“You know that too, and you still dare to threaten the police uncle.” Shen Xiao’s luxuriant jade finger pointed at Cheng Ming’s forehead and said with a stern face.
Came two police cars, parked in front of the grocery store, the opposite side of the grocery store immediately scattered, this side of the people also want to sneak from the back door, running fast okay, running slow will be caught, such as crippled Huang Yong.
Seeing Huang Yong was arrested, Cheng Ming’s heart hanging high stone also finally fell, the plan is considered a success for the time being.
“Cheng Ming, did your father order you to do this today?”
“No, it was totally my own idea, did it scare you a little?”
“It’s a bit of a shock, but there seems to be something quite normal about it for you.”
Shen Xiao could always feel the sense of maturity that did not belong to Cheng Ming at his age coming from him, making people want to lean on him.
Shen Xiao looked at Cheng Ming’s childish face under the street lamp, and suddenly felt that this face was very mature, with deep and resolute eyes, as if it had gone through many vicissitudes.
Shen Shin you’re already twenty-four years old ah, this is nine years younger than you little tiny little brother ah, what are you thinking.
Shen Xiao patted her cheeks and tried to keep herself from imagining things.
“Sister Shen Xiao, do I look like a great evil?” Cheng Ming laughed to himself.
To put it in a middle-of-the-road way, for the sake of his family, Cheng Ming would rather be transformed into a demon.
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re the worst, they deserve it, but it’s their families who suffer.”
“Sister Shen Xiao, let’s go back to Huang Yong’s house.”
“Gotta tell her about her husband’s arrest.”
“There’s still the real compensation fee that has to be given to her.” Cheng Ming said as he waved the last envelope in his hand.
Only the surface of this envelope is not written Ye Binsong gift.
Came to Huang Yong’s home? A family of three is eating dinner.
“You guys from earlier? Looking for me for something?”
“Your husband was arrested for gambling, just now, I was the one who called the police, there should be a police officer coming for you later.” Cheng Ming said bluntly.
“Cheng Ming you ……”
Shen Xiao also didn’t expect Cheng Ming to admit it just like that, obviously just now, he still looked like a sophisticated old demon.
“This money is the real compensation fee, I hope you don’t use this money to give your husband connections and gifts or anything so he can get out of jail early, it’s not necessary, he might even reform in jail, he’ll only drag your family into the abyss if he continues to gamble.”
“But he didn’t used to be that way, and after he got his leg broken, the house was still torn down, and we were living in this house of Mom and Dad’s, and it turned out that his friend took him to the casino and more than took the demolition money”
“That was before, do you still want to use affection to melt him now? It’s no use, if you find the debt collection punks annoying, divorce him as soon as possible, or leave the city, go to a place where no one knows you and start a whole new life, it may be hard for you to raise two kids on your own, but it’s only going to be harder following him.”
Cheng Ming’s mom and dad thundered through their divorce in the first place, even before his midterm exams, because they didn’t want their own debts to implicate their wives and children, and even their house would be repossessed to cover the debts.
“I can’t take this money.” Zhan Qiaoyun looked at the money in the envelope, thought it was a bit much, and handed it back.
“Keep it, June 1 Children’s Day is coming up, buy two new clothes for your two girls, buy more supplements, one looks malnourished, Sister Shen Xiao, let’s go.”
“I’ll stay here with them for a while, you go back.”
After all, he was the one who went to yell at the police, and Shen Xiao also had a guilty conscience.
“Well, call me if you’re in trouble, and I’ll help as much as I can.”
Cheng Ming had been out working all day, and the house might not have blown up, but his sister certainly did.
After Cheng Ming left, Zhan Qiaoyun couldn’t help her tears from falling and dripping onto the envelope.
The aggression that had been suppressed for a long time exploded in a flash.
“It’s OK, it’s OK already ……”
Shen Xiao tenderly hugged her body and said some comforting words.
Huang Lingyin and Huang Lingyu were also patting Zhan Qiaoyun’s back and said, “Don’t cry mom.”
Children are most easily infected, and when they see their mothers crying, they howl along with them.
Touching the scene, Shen Xiao also can not help but shed tears. If she hadn’t met Cheng Ming, how many times would she have wet her pillowcase at night?
