Chapter 033: Night Chips
Mrs. Norton hung up the phone and stood still.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Norton, whose face was flushed, poked his head out and said with a smile: "I heard the phone ringing when I entered the door, who called?"
"Xiao Heng. Mrs. Norton glanced at him, frowning.
"It's that kid again, why does he always like to look for you?" Norton complained.
"We're friends! Besides, it's none of your business. Mrs. Norton said coldly, "I've been home for more than an hour, what are you going to do?"
"I just met a friend and had a drink together. Norton said, "Don't worry, just a drink, and I'll be back." ”
Mrs. Norton was noncommittal, and asked, "I have something to ask you, have you sold your stock?"
Norton's face fell, and he said, "I didn't sell it last Friday." ”
"Xiao Heng has been sold, why haven't you sold it?" Mrs. Norton was anxious, she was originally going to ask Norton to find a way to communicate with the exchange, and take out his money early tomorrow morning and lend it to Zhang Heng temporarily.
Norton has a good relationship with several exchange chairmen, and snobbish men can always find like-minded friends.
She didn't want to come forward to ask for help, especially those obscene Chinese middle-aged and elderly, greedy speculators, it was Zhang Heng who happened to call today, thinking that Zhang Heng could establish a preliminary network, so she would take him to the dinner.
As for Norton, forget it, she wouldn't accompany him to that kind of occasion full of copper stench and desire.
"I hung up for 298 yuan, I think it should be able to rush to this price, but ......" Norton lowered his head and whispered.
"Didn't I ask you to hang up 281 yuan?" Mrs. Norton sneered, "Actually, I have long understood that there is really nothing else that you can take to heart except power and money. ”
"Remember, my dear, the only thing I care about most in my heart is always you. Norton looked up, affectionate.
"Whatever. Mrs. Norton shook her head, and looked at the clock on the wall, it was past 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Honey, would you like a glass of Assam?" said Norton gently.
"No, you go out first, I think it's quiet to be alone. Mrs. Norton waved her hand, not looking at him.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room and sleep, you can rest early, and you will start work again tomorrow." ”
Norton smiled and walked out of the study, his face immediately distorted, and he cursed viciously, "Slut!"
In the study, Mrs. Norton glanced back at the closed door, a hint of sarcasm on her lips, frowning in thought.
After a long time, she glanced at the wall clock again and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Andrew, I'm Catherine, thank you for always helping me take care of that old house, but I have to regret to inform you that I am not going to keep this property anymore, and I hope you will help me sell it as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, I understand that this old house means a lot to me, but I'm having a little bit of a hard time here...... No, I don't need you to lend me money, you don't know, I need many, many dollars. So, you know, it was a tough decision. ”
"Well, immediately, it should be half past two in the afternoon on your side, and I hope to complete the transaction by five o'clock and then transfer the money to my account with HSBC right away, so that I can get the cash early tomorrow morning. ”
"Yes, I understand, I can accept the price lower, up to 15% off, if it is cheaper, it will be pointless for me to do it. Well, then I'll bother you, I'll get back to you before five o'clock. ”
Hanging up the phone, Mrs. Norton walked out to the balcony and shifted her gaze from the city lit up at night to the moon......
After a long time, she gently wiped her eyes, let out a long breath, turned back into the house, and picked up the phone again.
"Hey, Jiexi, I'm sorry to bother you so late, haven't you always wanted my necklace, I don't know what price you can offer?"
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm in a little bit of financial difficulty, no, it has nothing to do with him, it's my private business. No, I don't like to owe people, so let's make a deal. ”
"100,000 Hong Kong dollars, let me calculate it, it may not be enough, can you accept 150,000?"
"Thank you, I'll come to your house early tomorrow morning, good night, goodbye. ”
She opened the drawer, took out a delicate little box, removed the necklace from her neck, stared at it for a moment, put it into the box, snapped the lid shut, and stuffed it into the pouch.
A soft sigh accompanied by darkness that flooded the entire study.
......
Kwun Tong Police Station.
"Little brother, when I heard that you were going to give me a great credit, I immediately got up from the bed, rushed to the police station without stopping, and called all the brothers back. Sergeant Ren half-truthfully said, "If you are joking with us, then my brothers will have you for the midnight snack and horse killing chickens in the second half of the night." ”
"Don't worry, the credit can't run, and I will also come to your supper horses and chickens!" Zhang Heng sat opposite him, full of confidence.
"I know you're a cheerful person, let's say, what's going on?"
Zhang Heng handed over the newspaper.
Sergeant Ren looked at it carefully for a long time, and wondered, "They didn't make a mistake, right?"
"No, I really have that much money. Zhang Heng said lightly.
"I really didn't expect that this half-sized guy in front of me turned out to be a millionaire!" Policeman Ren was a little surprised, and teased, "Since you said that you want to give us credit, you must have found out." ”
"Yes, I can already confirm the main suspect. ”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Sergeant Ren stood up sharply, "Brothers, let's go, arrest people!"
"Slow down!" Zhang Heng hurriedly stopped them, "Sheriff Ren, I'm not here to let you arrest people right away!"
Half an hour later, Sergeant Ren sent Zhang Heng out of the police station.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I'm sure, you must redeem Aunt He before you can do it. In the bright moonlight, he looked extremely resolute.
Sergeant Ren nodded: "I know, but I still have to remind you that the moment you pay for someone is the most dangerous, we may not be able to arrive in time, you take care." ”
"No matter what, I will protect Aunt He, you will be as soon as possible. After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he left with an iron bucket, and the long shadow in the moonlight gradually faded away.
Sergeant Ren stood silently, lost in thought.
......
"Xiao Heng, you're back, drink water first. As soon as Zhang Heng entered the house, Xia Di handed over a glass of cold boiled water.
"Everything is done, then it's up to tomorrow, Uncle Li, Zixian, you go back and rest." Zhang Heng's voice was a little hoarse, and he sat down and drank a large glass of cold boiled water.
"Brother Heng, your clothes were damaged by me. Li Zixian cried with a sad face, and changed his name familiarly, which he refused to call out when he was a child.
"It's okay, when this is over, I'll buy you two new sets, still this brand. ”
"Then thank you, Brother Heng!" The little fat man jumped up with a smile, and almost came up to hug his thighs.
"Let's go, let's go back and let Xiao Heng have a good rest. Uncle Li calmed his face, grabbed his arm, and dragged him out.
"Xiao Heng, Aunt He won't be in danger, right?" After each of them lay down, Xia Di tossed and turned for a long time and asked softly.
"It's going to be fine, I'll definitely bring Aunt He back safely tomorrow." Zhang Heng said solemnly.
"Well, I believe you, then let's go to bed early, tomorrow you will have a hard time. Xia Di said quietly.
"Aunt He, this time you have suffered for Sister Xia Di, I promise, if someone hurts you, I will let him, and all his relatives and friends, regret coming to this world!"
Lying on the bed, Zhang Heng thought silently in his heart, closed his eyes, but his eyeballs kept turning......
