Chapter 19: Relationships Fall Apart
"I just want to work part-time, just do it for a month, I know web design, packaging and publicity can also be, I don't know if I can be here with you..."
Mengzhen stood up with some suspicion, after all, a college student dressed like this and working in a nightclub in front of him suddenly rushed to find a short-term job, and did not indicate his purpose, is it because the reason can't be said?
"Does your school know you work in a nightclub?"
She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Then your family must not know either, to put it simply, you are now in school during the day and go out to work in a nightclub at night?" Mengzhen looked at Lin Shan with a very sharp gaze and asked.
"This..."
"It's hard for me to decide if you don't explain why. β
At this time, An Xiran suddenly walked into the house, closed the door tightly and said in a low voice: "In the Fushan apartment on Hengyun Road, there is a nightclub there, no, it shouldn't be said to be a nightclub, just a black shop that provides physical services, and there are many rooms in the Fushan apartment next to it that are specially prepared for you." β
Lin Shan suddenly shook his head in panic and said, "No, it's not like this. β
Meng Zhen, who was standing on the side, looked at An Xiran incredulously and asked, "Do you know again?"
An Xiran sneered, walked in front of Lin Shan and gently swiped her cheek with his hand, making Mengzhen a little unbearable.
"I know you're in trouble, and even though it's hard to say this kind of thing, there's no point in you lying to yourself like this. An Xiran said very calmly.
"I...," Lin Shan said intermittently, "I can't help it." β
Hearing this, Mengzhen was a little sure of his initial thoughts, and asked with some worry, "Are you forced to work there?"
She bowed her head and did not answer.
"You can't be borrowing loan sharks, I've heard recently that many female college students have fallen into various loan traps, you can't be because of this, if that's the case, I'm sorry for me..."
Lin Shan left a line of tears mixed with eyeshadow, looking very helpless. And An Xiran took her in his arms and patted her on the back, probably because of the similar experience, which made her very sympathetic to such a girl.
"I was cheated on by my boyfriend. Lin Shan choked up and said, " Two months ago, he said that he wanted to invest in a shop, he needed 20,000 yuan, and I was also doing a micro-business at the time, so I took out all the money I earned, but there was still 10,000 yuan, and then he told me that I had a relationship to borrow money, and asked me to find a person named Brother Long to borrow money, and then I added Brother Long's WeChat, he had a very good attitude at first, saying that because he owed my boyfriend a favor, in order to repay the favor, he said to lend me 10,000, and then as long as he repaid 8,000, I can earn close to 4,000 yuan a month as a micro-business, so I discussed repaying 2,000 yuan every month, and repaying it in four monthsγ β
"Wait a minute. Mengzhen suddenly interrupted, "Girl, you're too stupid, how can there be such a good thing as borrowing 10,000 to repay 8,000, I really am this kind of deception..."
An Xiran suddenly stepped on Meng Zhen hard, making him pay attention to his words, and at the same time said, "Then how much do you owe now?"
Lin Shan raised three fingers with some trembling.
"Thirty thousand!" Meng Zhen exclaimed, "I went from 10,000 to 30,000 in two months, even if you work with me, it's a waste of time." β
"Then why didn't you call the police?" An Xiran asked.
"My boyfriend and I once went to open a room, he had my kind of photo, and then Brother Long's people forced me to want me to work in a nightclub to pay back, and I only knew that it was not a nightclub, and the so-called part-time job was not a part-time job, they said that working there is no longer a rise in interest rates of 30,000 yuan, and only after earning 30,000 yuan there, can I be let go. After speaking, she hugged An Xiran tightly, and her slightly trembling body revealed how strong her fear was now.
"You go sell... How much do you earn working in a nightclub?" asked Yumejin with a stiff face.
"Five hundred, no matter how many people there are, it is five hundred. β
"These beasts!" An Xiran couldn't help but say, "they're selling you cheaply." β
Meng Zhen also added: "So you want to find a part-time job during the day?"
"Well, I've been doing it there for two weeks, I really don't want to stay for two months, I can't stand it at all!" Her crying became louder and louder, and tears soaked An Xiran's clothes, but An Xiran didn't care.
Mengzhen gave An Xiran a color, and then An Xiran calmed Lin Shan a little, and then followed Mengzhen to the back room.
"I know what you're trying to say. She said coldly.
"Do you really know? I mean, this can't be solved by paying back, and if that's the case, more girls will be abused. β
"What? I thought you were going to keep her working here. β
"What, look at Lin Shan's current state, she may pass out there at any time, no matter what, there is only one way to call the police, you must kill these bastards, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured. "Dream is really very honest and said.
However, An Xiran asked rhetorically: "Do you know those usury organizations? They have their own models, and they also have special methods to deal with the police, if you call the police, I'm afraid people won't be able to catch them, but those photos of her have long been viewed by countless people on the Internet." β
Mengzhen clasped his hands to his chest and said: "Then what do you want to do, your family is so good, 30,000 should be just a pocket money, she can eat this kind of scam I don't want to comment too much, it's really not me to hit her, it's the best choice to hand over this matter to the police." β
"How can you say that about her? She can be fooled by this kind of scam also shows how deep her feelings for her boyfriend were at that time, it is true that girls who fall in love will become stupid, and now her biggest reliance has deceived her, can you feel her despair, she dare not tell anyone, I am afraid that we are the first to know about this kind of thing, she is now desperate, and if she does not help her get through this crisis as soon as possible, it is equivalent to pushing her into purgatory. β
Looking at An Xiran's penetrating eyes, Meng Zhen explained weakly: "That can only help her get together 30,000 yuan in a short period of time, why don't you borrow her?"
"I'm not a living bodhisattva. β
"Then what do you say, if you don't borrow, she won't be able to get out of danger in a short time, do you want her to work here and then go back to the nightclub at night?"
"You're really no different from those beasts. An Xiran shook his head and said.
"Hey Miss, it's you who put forward your own opinions and then deny yourself on the spot, you can't rely on me. β
"Anyway, you have to find a way to save her. β
Mengzhen patted the back of his head, with a loveless expression, he couldn't understand what happened to An Xiran, the change was suddenly so big, they were still watching a movie together last night, and today they suddenly stiffened. I don't know what to say now, so Mengzhen went back to Lin Shan's side directly, and said a little reluctantly: "You want to work here just to get out of the sea of misery as soon as possible, but during this period, you are still humiliated in that place, I ask you a question now, before the matter is resolved, are you mentally prepared to continue working in that kind of place at night?"
She didn't answer right away.
"If you don't want to go, there is only one way to call the police, of course, I don't know about those usury models, and I don't know how the police solve them, after all, we don't have any dream here that can be realized. Mengzhen continued.
"Thatβ" She got up a little lost and walked out of the room trembling.
Mengzhen didn't stop her, for him, there was no other way in this situation except to refuse, and he could only say that this girl went astray and solved the matter she provoked.
It didn't take long for An Xiran to walk out with a resentful face, and asked emotionlessly, "Did you reject her?"
"I really can't help it, the conditions here are too limited, after all, it's not a relationship problem before, it's a criminal problem, I really can't do anything. β
"Needless to say, maybe one day, I will be in the same situation, and then you will abandon me so ruthlessly, right? β
Meng Zhen frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? You are not quite right today, it is completely different from last night, what did you go through?"
"I went home to talk to my father about the application to study abroad, and by the way, I negotiated the bad things between you and him, and you have nothing to do with our family. β
"You're leaving?" Mengzhen's mentality didn't change.
An Xiran froze for a few seconds, and then left here without looking back.
In an instant, only Meng Zhen was left in the room, for him, it was as if it had been arranged, although he was a little reluctant, but it did not affect his mentality, after all, An Xiran appeared suddenly, and there was nothing surprising to leave so suddenly, but he didn't understand where it hurt An Xiran's heart, and what kind of secret An Xiran still hid in his heart, he had no way of knowing.
"Hey. He sighed helplessly, and then put the agreement away, and at the same time a sense of loneliness gushed out from the depths of his heart.
In the evening, he drove to the Fushan apartment that An Xiran mentioned before, and there were some small neon lights under the innermost apartment, which seemed to be the black shop she mentioned.
The entrance is not guarded, but it is locked from the inside. So he knocked lightly on the door, and soon a man who was almost a head shorter than him appeared in the doorway, because the light was too dim, he did not know what this person looked like.
The person inside asked in a hoarse voice, "What for?"
"I have a friend who said you can find happiness here, so..."Yumejin smiled a little awkwardly.
The man suddenly turned on the flashlight and shone it directly on Mengzhen's face, and the strong light made Mengzhen subconsciously dodge it, and said, "Hey brother, this light is too bright, it's easy to blind people." β
"Who is that friend of yours, what's his name, and what's his phone number?"
When he came back to his senses again, Meng Zhen found that the person had taken out a roster from nowhere, and it seemed that he wanted to confirm his identity.
"This..."Dream really didn't know how to answer, after all, it was a friend out of nothing.
"Stinky boy, you want to cheat me, you treat me as stupid, get out of here, I remember your face, don't blame us for being rude when you come here again. With that, he turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, brother, wait a minute. Mengzhen stopped, "Who is embarrassed to say it so clearly, how embarrassing haha, I haven't talked about a girlfriend either, it's been twenty-three years, and others laugh at me for being a chick, I don't want to experience it." β
"If you want to experience going elsewhere, we don't accept you here. β
"Isn't it just to give money, two thousand is okay? I don't think your place is very good, this price should be very profitable. Mengzhen took out a stack of bills and said while swaggering.
The man returned to the door again, pulled the money in, and said very politely: "You need three thousand, after all, your words have hurt the dignity of our guests here." β
Mengzhen couldn't help laughing, it's really inhumane to do this kind of thing and talk about dignity in this place. Fortunately, before going out, he calculated that these people must not have any good intentions, and prepared four thousand yuan, which was also the first time he went out with so much money. So he took out another thousand yuan from the bag, and when he put it in front of the door, the person inside wanted to pull it in again, but he was recognized by Mengzhen, and the hand that took the money instantly pulled back, making the person pounce, and then he smiled: "There should be few guests like me." β
"Don't bother, I'll leave without paying. The man's tone became a little modest, and sure enough, he still had to rely on money to solve the problem.
"Okay, but since I've spent so much money, I have a little request, don't fool me with a two-five-eyed thirty-something, at least I have to be a college student, I like tenderness." β
The man took the money, then opened the door and let Mengzhen in, and said confidently: "Don't worry, the fish here are all good bait, just call one out and guarantee that you will give you a five-star review." β
This little man's attitude has changed dramatically, making Dream really a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, I see you just took a roster, is there a membership system, is the membership system cheaper?" he asked curiously.
"Look at you so atmospheric, then we can talk about it, it's not called a membership system, it's called an exclusive service list, which can provide delivery to your home, continuous days, and discounts. β
"What's the situation with this continuous package?" asked Meng Zhen curiously.
"Well, the average person can only trade in the apartment here, and if you are on this list, you can take the fish home for a few days, seven days at most! During this time, we provide all the sufficient supplies to prevent the fish from escaping in the water, in short, to ensure that these fish are obediently in the place where you want her to stay, do whatever you want, and there will be no mistakes, but this kind of service needs to be booked in advance, after all, the supply takes a little time to get used to." After saying that, he smiled a little obscenely.
"What is the source? β
"Oh, you haven't mixed up in the aisle? It's just an injection of drugs, the fish is addicted, where do you have the idea of escaping." β
