The happy time of the New Year is like a white horse, flashing by, eyes blinking, feeling that nothing has been done, and several days have passed.

Because the aunt was about to go to work, she took the reluctant Xiaorui to say goodbye to Han Ye's family and returned to Nanling.

As soon as Xiaorui left, without this noisy and cute little girl, the home immediately seemed a lot deserted.

Han Ye's mother loved Xiaorui very much, and it had only been a few hours since she left, and her mouth was open.

Han Ye was also a little reluctant to the little girl, feeling that as soon as Xiaorui left, the house was indeed not so lively and interesting, but fortunately, Zhang Zhen and Xia Lin both sent messages and said that they would come to Funing for two days to pay New Year's greetings to Han Ye's parents, and by the way, they would get together with him to have a fun, which made him happy again.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Zhen and Xia Lin drove from Nanling together, and both of them brought gifts.

Xia Lin was delicate, and she had already discovered the preferences of Han Ye's parents, and the gifts she gave were also more exquisite, which was in line with her parents' wishes.

Zhang Zhen brought two precious aged Lafite as gifts to Han Ye's father.

Han Ye's father knew a little about red wine, and knew that these two Lafite were expensive, so he couldn't help but be surprised by Zhang Zhen's generosity, and wanted to decline politely, but fortunately, Han Ye saw that something was wrong and took the first step to accept the two Lafite, which didn't make Zhang Zhen unable to come to the stage.

Otherwise, Zhang Zhen kindly came to pay New Year's greetings, but asked him to twist the gift back as it was, which would be too faceless.

After meeting, Han Ye's parents left with interest and gave the space to the three children.

The three of them ate something, chatted for a while, and said some interesting things during the holiday, Zhang Zhen suddenly shouted that he wanted to go out for a spin, have a play, and see the characteristic scenery of Funing.

Han Ye, as the master, of course agreed, Zhang Zhen came all the way from Nanling to play, how could he not fulfill the friendship of the landlord?

Anyway, the three of them have cars, and it's convenient to go anywhere, so he's just a tour guide.

So, he said hello to his parents and led Zhang Zhen and Xia Lin out of the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhang Zhen seemed to remember something, and said casually: "Boss Han, it seems that the foodie is in the same place as you, find him out and go out to have fun together." I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't seen him on QQ WeChat or anything, and he didn't reply to his message. This guy is really not interesting, he threw his brothers to the back of his head as soon as he was on vacation. ”

Hearing Zhang Zhen say this, Han Ye also felt a little strange, he and Zhou Weicheng have been classmates since high school, and they have a very good relationship, plus the two families were not far away before, and Zhou Weicheng would usually come to him to hang out during the holidays.

But this winter vacation is an exception, generally foodies will look for him to play, but this year seems to be a little abnormal, so far, Zhou Weicheng not only did not come to him to play, not even a phone, only sent a message on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was no more news.

So, he proposed, "The foodies haven't contacted me much. Let's go to the foodie's house for a New Year's greeting, and then find him out and go out to play, of course, the more people, the more lively. ”

Zhang Zhen loves to be lively, shouting loudly in his mouth, raising his hands in approval, and Xia Lin naturally has no opinion.

Han Ye had been to Zhou Weicheng's house many times before, and he was familiar with the road, plus he was driving by himself, so it didn't take long to reach his destination.

It's just that the door of Zhou Weicheng's house is closed, he knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door, and I don't know if he went out to visit relatives, so he called Zhou Weicheng, but the phone was always turned off, and no one answered.

I asked my neighbors about it, but I couldn't tell me clearly, it seemed that I hadn't seen anyone from the Zhou family for a while.

The three of them couldn't help but feel disappointed, and were about to go downstairs to leave, but unexpectedly found Zhou Weicheng walking up from downstairs.

Others have gained weight all year after the New Year, but Zhou Weicheng seems to be thinner than before, the whole person is listless, his mood seems very low, and his complexion is not very good.

When he saw Han Ye, Zhang Zhen and the others, he was also slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that the three of them would appear here.

"Hey, you foodie, where did you go? We've been knocking on the door for a long time, and we won't answer your calls. Zhang Zhen shouted first, but a smile appeared on his face, obviously happy to see Zhou Weicheng.

Han Ye also smiled and said, "Yes, what illegal and criminal activities are you doing?" I haven't seen your figure throughout the winter vacation, and I haven't seen you hanging on QQ WeChat, if you hadn't sent me a text message on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I would have thought you had become a missing person." ”

Zhang Zhen said a little stupidly: "Boss Han, you are satisfied." At least he sent a message to greet the New Year, but I didn't even receive a message, because I still have such a good relationship with him. ”

Zhou Weicheng walked up and smiled: "The two of us quarrel more than we talk seriously, is this also a good relationship? Okay, let's go into the house and talk." “

As he spoke, he took out the key, opened the door, and beckoned everyone to enter the house.

The house is deserted, there is no New Year's atmosphere, Zhou Weicheng looked for a long time at home, and only found some peanuts and melon seeds that were almost damp, as for fruit snacks and other necessary substances for the New Year, there were none.

Han Ye had been messing around with the old god stick for so long, and he had more or less learned some of the old god stick's subtle observation skills, and now he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart when he saw that the Zhou family was deserted to such a point.

Zhou Weicheng's father is doing a small business outside, and his mother is working in a private company.

In the past Chinese New Year, Zhou Weicheng's family's materials were relatively rich, why is this year so shabby?

He looked at Zhou Weicheng carefully and found that this foodie was depressed, smiling reluctantly, and there seemed to be a faint sadness between his eyebrows.

He immediately guessed that Zhou Weicheng must have encountered some trouble, and this trouble is not small, otherwise with Zhou Weicheng's arrogant personality, he would not be so worried.

Han Ye then found an excuse to pull Zhou Weicheng away from Zhang Zhen, who was foaming at the mouth, and came to the balcony, and then asked, "Weicheng, have you been in any trouble lately?"

Zhou Weicheng's body shook, glanced at Han Ye, and quickly turned his head again, denying: "No...... No, I'm fine, I'm not in any trouble, why do you suddenly ask that?"

Han Ye said: "Wei Cheng, don't fool me, you are acting very wrong today, even a blind person can see it." And the situation in your house is also different from previous years, I used to come to your house often to play, if there is something wrong, I can naturally detect it, let's say, what happened, we have been buddies for many years, no matter what happens to you, as long as I can help, I will definitely do my best. “

Zhou Weicheng looked at Han Ye, with a grateful look in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said in a low voice: "I have already received a lot of care from you at NTU, and I can't pay off the favors I owe you, so why am I embarrassed to ask you for help again?"

What's more, my family's current predicament is completely self-inflicted, and it is really difficult to talk to outsiders. ”

Han Ye patted him on the back hard, and said with some displeasure: "What do we have to do with each other? Then you helped me fight in high school, and I was beaten and bruised and swollen, and I didn't feel that I owed you anything? Tell me, what the hell is going on, tell me and let me hear about it, and see if I can help. “

When Zhou Weicheng heard this, he couldn't help but be even more moved in his heart.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally explained the whole thing to Han Yehe:

"My father somehow got hooked on playing cards and gambling for money a little over a month ago, and he was quite a gambler at the time. In the beginning, my father had good luck and won a lot of money. When he came back with the money, our whole family was smiling, and we thought that we had been favored by the God of Wealth.

But soon after, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and my father kept losing, not only throwing back all the money he had won, but also all the family's savings.

My father lost his eyes, and he was unwilling to let the savings he had worked so hard for so many years come to naught, so he raised money everywhere, wanting to get the capital back, and even borrowed a large amount of usury from me and my mother behind my back!

But in the end, not only did the capital not win back, but even the borrowed money was lost, and he owed a lot of debt.

Now, the loan shark is looking for my father to collect his debts, and he is raising money to pay off his debts, but no one dares to lend him now.

In order to raise money, my mother and I didn't rest throughout the Chinese New Year and have been working, so this winter vacation, I don't have time to play with you, and I don't even have time to log on QQ, so I spend all my time working to earn money. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and seemed ashamed of his father's stupidity.

Han Ye couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that Father Zhou was quite unwise: "Your father is really, and he dares to borrow money from loan sharks? And he borrowed it to play cards?

Speaking of this, he paused, and then asked, "How much does your father owe to the loan shark?"

Zhou Weicheng replied with some difficulty: "Counting the interest, it looks like four or five hundred thousand." ”

Han Ye reproached: "This is not a big amount, tell me, I will naturally lend it to you." You are raising your own money, and you want to raise money until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Horse? And the interest rate of usury is high, and you work hard for a month, but you are afraid that you will not even be able to earn back the interest, how can you repay the money?"

Zhou Weicheng said in a low voice: "It's not for you, but for me, it's an astronomical amount, and it's my father's gambling loss, I really can't open my mouth to you, not to mention that your money is not blowing in the wind, I borrowed so much money from you, and I don't know when I can pay it back." "It's okay to take it slowly, anyway, I'm not short of money right now. Han Ye said and took out a cash check, filled in 500,000 yuan, and handed it to Zhou Weicheng, "However, you must hand over this money to the creditor yourself, and you can't let your father take it, otherwise, maybe he will take it to gamble again." “

Zhou Weicheng nodded again with gratitude and shame, and was about to thank Han Ye from the bottom of his heart, when the landline at home suddenly rang, and when he picked it up, his mother's anxious and frightened voice came from the other end of the landline: "Weicheng! Your father was kidnapped!
