Chapter 41: Death Valley (1)
After the three of them came back from dinner, Wuwei began his study again.
After more than ten days, Wuwei found that it had reached the three-month deadline set by Zhou Cheng, and Wuwei guessed that Zhou Gong was likely to come to Las Vegas recently, thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Yang Yan, and then he felt that he had not seen this girl for more than a month.
Thinking of Yang Yan, Wuwei's heart suddenly felt apologetic, he only cared about studying the Tao Te Ching during this time, and snubbed Yan Yan. Yang Yan really didn't say to herself, without her help, her development in Las Vegas would not be so smooth, in order to help herself find Zhou Gong, she gave up all activities, accompanied herself to Atlantic City, and stayed for more than half a month. But now, in order to improve his skills, he forgot about her existence. Thinking of this, Wuwei hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and dialed Yang Yan's mobile phone number.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is not in the service area. A crisp female voice came out of the phone, and Wuwei was stunned, how could Yang Yan's mobile phone not be in the service area? Could it be that there is still a place in the United States where the mobile phone signal cannot be covered? He felt a little uneasy.
Wuwei immediately dialed the phone in Yang Yan's apartment: "I'm Yang Yan, I'm not at home when I go out, please leave a message if you have something." Yang Yan's recording message came out of the microphone. Wuwei suddenly had a bad premonition, and he threw down the phone and ran out of the room.
Ah Lun was watching TV in the living room, and saw Wuwei coming out of the bedroom in a panic, and his expression was anxious, he lost his usual composure, guessing that something must have happened, he quickly stood up: "What's wrong, big brother?"
"Yang Yan's phone at home is not answered, and the mobile phone is not in the service area, I am worried about what is wrong with her, come with me to take a look!" said Wuwei as he put on his shoes. Aaron quickly put on his coat and ran out of the apartment with Wuwei.
The place where Yang Yan lived was only a few hundred meters away from them, and soon the two of them arrived at the door of the apartment that Yang Yan rented. I saw that the door was closed, and a note was pasted on the door, with a line of words written on it: "I went on a trip to Death Valley." "There are dates below.
The date of Wu Wei was a week ago, and he had an intuition in his heart that this note was left by Yang Yan for him to read, and Yang Yan ran to the desolate Valley of Death, which was most likely related to his snubbing of her.
"I heard that it's a deserted Grand Canyon, what is she going to travel there?" asked Aaron, looking at the note, puzzled.
"Let's go!" Wuwei didn't have time to explain, so he turned around and ran out.
Ah Lun followed Wuwei inexplicably, not understanding why he was so nervous, thinking to himself Isn't she just going to play for a few days? Why are you so nervous? But he didn't dare to ask Wuwei.
The two ran out of the community, Wuwei stopped a taxi, handed the driver a 100-yuan bill, and urged him: "Hurry, Bellagio, the sooner the better, you don't need to look for money." ”
The driver was very happy to see the customer's generous shot, but he felt very strange, and he thought that he didn't need to be in such a hurry to gamble, and he had never seen such a anxious gambler, as if he was addicted to drugs. The driver didn't have time to think about it, and immediately drove towards the Bellagio Hotel Casino.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you being so hot, didn't Miss Yang just go on a trip, and nothing happened!" Alun couldn't help but ask Wuwei.
"I have a hunch that something must have happened to Yan Yan, otherwise her phone would not be out of the service area, let alone go for so long. Wuwei said with certainty.
"Then let's go find her, what are we going to the casino?" asked Alun, puzzled.
"We don't have a car, and we don't know the situation here, so how can we find it? ”
"Yes, what the eldest brother said makes sense, Robert knows the situation here very well. ”
Wu Wei and Arun walked into the casino hall, and he saw Robert dealing cards at a baccarat table in the high-stakes gambling area from a distance, and Wu Wei hurriedly walked towards him. The manager of the gambling area saw Wuwei walking in and hurriedly greeted him, he knew Wuwei, and won more than three million oriental youths here.
"Hello sir, is there anything you need me to serve?" the gambling area manager greeted Wuwei warmly.
"Thanks, I'm looking for Robert, I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”
"Oh, he's working, please wait, I'll have someone replace him. "The manager immediately said to Wuwei that they rarely refused what the guests proposed. There happened to be no customers at a nearby table, so the manager of the gambling area asked the idle dealer to replace Robert.
Robert walked over, he felt very strange about Wuwei coming to the casino to find him, seeing Wuwei's solemn expression, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I called Yang Yan, her mobile phone was not in the service area, rushed to her apartment, and found a note posted on her door, which was left a week ago, saying that she went to Death Valley to play, there has been no news for so long, I am worried that she is in danger!" Wuwei said anxiously, completely lacking her usual calmness.
"I see, you wait a minute. Robert immediately turned around, walked to the manager not far away, and whispered to the manager, "Manager, I have something important and need to ask for leave to leave." ”
The gambling area manager shook his head resolutely: "No, you are working now, and you have to wait until after work to deal with personal matters." ”
"It's very urgent and I have to leave now. Robert said anxiously.
"This matter is non-negotiable, please return to your work immediately, or I will remember your mistake. The manager said with a serious expression, without the slightest intention of giving in.
Without thinking, Robert grabbed the badge on his chest with his hand, pulled it down violently, and then slapped it on the gambling table next to him, and said angrily to the manager: "From now on, I resign!"
The manager was shocked by Robert's move and said, "You have to think about your decision!"
"Don't think about it, I've already decided. Robert turned around and left.
Wuwei didn't expect the polite Robert to make such a move, he knew that the job of a dealer in a big casino was very rare, not everyone could come in, and the income of this job was very high, and now in order to help him find Yang Yan, he actually abandoned all this without hesitation, and Wuwei was deeply moved by Robert's behavior.
Wuwei looked at Robert with grateful eyes, he knew that it was superfluous to say anything now, nodded to Roberton, and said softly, "Thank you." ”
"Let's go. After Robert finished speaking, he walked out of the casino without looking back.
Alun was also moved by Robert's actions, he knew that he would never be able to do this if he was replaced, and he couldn't imagine that this seemingly weak person would be so decisive and strong at a critical moment.
Robert drove his Toyota out of downtown Las Vegas, filling up at the gas station and then pulling onto Highway 95 and speeding northwest along the road.
