Chapter 762 never came back
After a night's rest, everyone gathered in the hotel restaurant for breakfast the next day, but Lao Song did not appear.
Wei Ting called Lao Song, Lao Song's mobile phone was turned off, thinking that he had gone out too late last night and was sleeping lazy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
At more than ten o'clock, when everyone began to sort out their belongings and was about to leave for Berwech Province, Wei Ting saw that Lao Song still did not appear, so he asked Wu Jin: "Xiao Wu, does Lao Song have any other contact information?"
Wu Jin hurriedly said: "Lao Song only has such a mobile phone, since he can't get through, then there is no other contact information." ”
"Then you know where Old Song lives now, right?" Wei Ting asked again.
"I know that. Wu Jin hurriedly replied.
"Okay, you and Ah Wei go to Lao Song's house, urge Lao Song, and see why he hasn't come over yet. Wei Ting commanded.
Ah Wei's name is Zhang Wei, tall, neat, once served in the army, after retiring from the army, he became Wei Ting's bodyguard, and has been following Wei Ting for several years.
The boss's order, the two of them naturally had to hurry up.
The two hurriedly drove to the door of Lao Song's house, and then knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded, and they still couldn't get through when they called their mobile phones.
Zhang Wei and Wu Jin both felt that something was wrong, and forcibly pried the door open and broke into Lao Song's room.
Lao Song's luggage was in the room, but there was no trace of him, and the bed was clean and neat, obviously he didn't sleep here at night.
Everyone had already gathered and was ready to set off at any time, but Lao Song, an old horse who knew the way, was gone, Zhang Wei and Wu Jin naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the situation to Wei Ting.
"In other words, Lao Song hasn't been back since he met us yesterday?" Wei Ting couldn't help frowning when she heard this.
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I guess it should be like this." ”
Wei Ting turned her head and asked Wu Jin: "You have been following Lao Song for a while, so do you know, why did Lao Song go?"
Wu Jin replied while reminiscing: "I have been with Lao Song for a while, but he doesn't tell me everything.
Lao Song is not particular about eating and drinking, and he is not very lustful, but in the past two years, he seems to like gambling money, and he often goes in and out of various casinos in Phnom Penh, and almost every one of them is familiar, will it ...... He went to the casino yesterday?"
"It's possible, when you go to the casino and get hooked, it's easy to lose track of the time. Wei Ting's eyebrows were a little cold, "This time the business is so important, and the schedule is so tight, he still has the heart to go to the casino, and when he comes back, I want to talk to him." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her mobile phone suddenly rang, she looked at it, it was a very unfamiliar number, it seemed to be a local number in Phnom Penh.
Wei Ting thought about it for a while, but still answered, Lao Song's somewhat depressed voice came from the other end of the phone: "Miss Wei, I owe some money in the casino, and I was deducted by the people in the casino, can you borrow some money to redeem me first?" ”
A hint of anger appeared in Wei Ting's eyes, and she asked coldly, "How much do you owe?"
Lao Song said: "The amount is not large, only about 200,000, but I have no money on me, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
Wei Tingtu raised her voice slightly, and her tone was stern: "You obviously know that you are going to leave today, and you went to gamble last night? You have been in this industry for so many years, why don't you even know this little bit of proportion?"
Your subordinate Wu Jin understands things better than you!"
Lao Song probably knew that he had made a mistake, and he didn't dare to argue: "Yes, yes, I know it's wrong, Miss Wei, I just had itchy hands for a while, and I couldn't hold back, I will pay attention in the future and promise not to make it." ”
If someone else makes a fuss, even if it's rotten in the casino, Wei Ting doesn't bother to care.
But the antique trade in Cambodia is mainly developed by Lao Song, and this business is promoted by Lao Song.
Even Wei Ting doesn't seem to know much about the situation here, if something really happens to Lao Song, then their business this time will be in vain, and they can go home immediately.
Besides, more than 200,000 yuan is not a big amount, spending money to eliminate disasters, fishing out Lao Song, and getting on the road quickly, without delaying business is serious.
So, Wei Ting suppressed her anger and asked, "Where are you?" I asked Ah Wei to send the money over. ”
Lao Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly reported the address.
Wei Ting hung up the phone directly, then took the money and handed it to Zhang Wei, and asked Zhang Wei and Wu Jin to send it according to the address.
Although it is only a small dispute, it is always better to be cautious in a foreign country.
In order to prevent communication problems, Wei Ting also asked Wu Jin to find a translator.
The address given by Lao Song was far away from the hotel, and the three of them drove the car, turning around for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at their destination.
Far from the central business district, it is full of low-rise houses, and although it is not a cross-flow of sewage, the living environment is quite different from the central business district.
Zhang Wei got out of the tuk-tuk and was faced with a two-story building, which was a little larger than other low-rise houses in the vicinity, but the houses were old and had mottled exterior walls, which were worse than the small buildings built in China 20 years ago at the junction of urban and rural areas.
If there is anything different, it is that this small building has a particularly thick iron door, similar to the iron gate of the prison in the movie, with a small window opening and closing from the inside on the upper part of the iron door.
"Your friend was detained by this casino?" asked the interpreter with some surprise after getting out of the car.
The translator's name is Zhong Xun, in his early twenties, born in Phnom Penh, and his grandfather is Chinese.
Since he has been living in Phnom Penh, his Chinese speech is not very standard, but he can understand the meaning, and it is enough to translate.
