Yanling is only a third-tier city in China.

However, with the geographical advantage of the central railway hub, the convenience of water transportation through the Xiangjiang River, and the large-scale transfer and rectification of heavy industry, polluting industries after the reform and opening up, and the development and introduction of high-tech industries, the city's take-off is only a matter of time.

After nightfall, the Yanling Mausoleum is brightly lit and dazzling.

The three bridges of Yanling across the Xiangjiang River are shining neon, like a dormant sleeping dragon.

Vehicles shuttle, the roadside of the bridge is bustling with pedestrians, and the evening breeze by the river, the picture is quiet and leisurely.

The life of ordinary people is a picture of quiet and good years, and the years are still stable.

There is a 38-storey building close to the Xiangjiang River at the west of the bridge, such a height may not be anything compared to the Mufeng Building in Star City, but it can be regarded as a landmark building in Yanling!

This is 'clear water and blue sky'.

Yanling is the highest and most luxurious four-star hotel.

Although it is only four stars, it is louder than the other five-star hotels listed in Yanling.

At the elevator entrance of the underground parking garage with clear water and blue sky, Xiaojie has been wandering here for a long time.

Still unkempt, his face was even more ugly than it had been in the bedroom this morning.

The open space in front of him was littered with cigarette butts, and it was hard to imagine that this kid who didn't even smell cigarettes had smoked several packs in one go.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and snuffed out the last cigarette butt in his hand, and turned into the elevator.

It's strange that this elevator doesn't have a button to go up, only five floors down!

The elevator stopped on the negative fifth floor, and when the elevator door opened, it turned out that there was a hole under the hotel with clear water and blue sky!

Casino!

A luxurious underground casino.

To be precise, in addition to the negative first floor and the negative second floor, the third, fourth and fifth floors under the clear water and blue sky are all casinos!

The smoke was filling, the air was cloudy, and the sound was noisy.

Many brightly dressed urban men and women are interspersed in front of various gaming tables, and there are also ordinary flat-headed small bosses with surnames!

For some people in Yanling, I am afraid that they will never know in their lives that the peaceful and stable city they live in still has such a place to gather filth and dirt!

Liao Tingjie didn't seem to be surprised by the scene in front of him at all, and walked out of the elevator with familiarity, interspersed several times and walked directly towards the inside of the casino.

To say that this casino is open can be regarded as blatant, whether it is the elevator entrance or exit, there is not even a person to guard the door, and Xiaojie who enters the casino is unimpeded.

That's right, the person who can afford this kind of gambling in this kind of place will never be the kind of little deflated person who changes places with one shot, and someone must take care of all aspects.

In a private room of about 30 square meters inside the casino, a stout man in a trench coat sat on a leather swivel chair and smoked a cigar leisurely.

This small private room is different from the black miasma of the casino outside, it is quiet and clean, and the decoration is more than one grade higher than the casino decoration outside, which is not low in style, and the sound insulation effect is also excellent, which is completely different from the outside

On the desk in front of the man, there were two large stacks of red old man's head cash bills, four or five million.

Next to the man, there were two men standing on the left and right, wearing a suit and bow tie, with a slight bulge around their waists, and at a glance they knew that they were ruthless stubbles with guns.

In addition, there were two door god-like figures standing at the door straddle the same as the two bodyguards beside him.

"Hiss~!"

The man in the trench coat picked up a new stack of red old man's head on the table, put down the tip of his nose, and took a greedy breath, his face intoxicated.

"Money! It is the eternal truth of this world! ”

The man's left hand sleeve was lifted intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a Rolex watch on his wrist with a price of no less than 300,000.

"Po~!"

Taking a puff of a cigar, the man in the trench coat feels like a fairy!

At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the noisy and noisy sound instantly squeezed in from the door, and someone was brought in at the same time.

As the door closed again, silence returned to the box.

The trench coat man in the swivel chair spit out smoke rings, squinting his eyes through the hazy smoke at the person who was brought in by his subordinates, and a touch of banter appeared on the corner of his mouth for no reason.

"Yo, isn't this our Boss Liao, what's wrong? Are you here to pay back the money today, or do you want to play two more games with enough money? ”

The man smiled and got up from his chair and walked around the table towards the people who had been brought in.

The person who was brought in was none other than Xiaojie.

"I... I... If I don't have any money, I won't gamble anymore! Xiao Jie's eyes were a little evasive, and his hands were cramped and a little unnatural.

However, since he had been wandering upstairs for several hours before deciding to come in, he must have insisted in his heart, so his expression looked quite determined, but his composure was a little ridiculous in the eyes of the trench coat man opposite!

He slowly walked over to Xiaojie and said, "You have neither money nor gambling, so why the are you coming to me?" Could it be that you came here to have fun with me! ”

Speaking of the back, the eyes of the man in the trench coat became cold, and his person had already arrived in front of Xiaojie.

Xiaojie swallowed his saliva, a little scared in his heart, but he didn't run away, looked directly into the other party's eyes and said, "I... I just want to come and tell you, I don't have any money now, but I won't pay the bills, I will definitely pay back the money I owe you, but it takes time to make money, I hope you don't bother my friends and family anymore, and don't go to school to make trouble......"

"What? What did you say? You repeat! ”

The man in the trench coat was immediately happy!

sneered, and after laughing, his face suddenly turned cold, and he raised his leg and kicked Xiaojie's stomach!

Bang~!

Xiaojie was kicked on the door panel behind him!

"I'll you! Do you know what I do? What the do you think Lao Tzu runs a charity? You know what the gamblers out there call me? Yan! Because of the money I lent out, if you are asked to repay it on the third watch, you will never drag the account to the fifth watch! Last time I was at your University of Technology, I temporarily let you go because of your school leaders, I didn't expect you to dare to send it to the door today to reason with me, because you are still a college student, why do I think you are in your head! ”

Xiaojie leaned against the door panel with his stomach covered, his head was full of sweat, and his face was painful!

The kick of the man in the trench coat just now was extremely solid, and he kicked him in the stomach hard, and at this moment, the intestines in his stomach seemed to be knotted, and the pain was unbearable!

Xiaojie, after all, is still too tender.

Once careless, he fell into the water, and he wanted to go ashore, relying on his own strength, how could it be so easy.

He just wants to be able to persuade these people to grace him in time, and then he can make money to pay off his debts, but if the loan shark is so good at talking, there will not be so many tragedies in the world that are not known to outsiders.

Xiaojie is not Jiang Han, he is extremely skilled and in danger, he is not Chen Yanguan, he is clever and skillful, and he is not Xiaoqiang, someone will always wipe his ass for him.

He lived until he was in his twenties, and his life was always in order, peaceful but uninteresting.

He is actually very envious of Jiang Han, envy Chen Yanguan, envy Xiaoqiang, envy their legendary childhood, envy their family background, and envy their calmness and generosity in the face of life dilemmas.

He always wanted to catch up with or even surpass them, but it was not that easy.

Many people don't want to admit it, especially those who are already parents from ordinary backgrounds, and the starting line of their children is actually decided in their wombs!

Of course, this time he was wrong, Xiaojie doesn't blame anyone, and he is not qualified to blame anyone, he has to bear the sins he has created no matter what!

", play dead? Drag him up for me! The man in the trench coat pointed at Xiaojie and said gloomily.

Soon, Xiao Jie was dragged up by the shoulders of the two men who were like door gods.

Xiao Jie's body was already thin, and the kick just now made it difficult for him to stand firmly.

"I'm telling you, since you took the initiative to come to the door today, then honestly settle the account owed to me, otherwise, hum ......"

Xiao Jie raised his head with difficulty, gritted his teeth and said, "I... Not... Money! ”

"No money? Don't joke with me, Boss Liao, how can you have no money! The man in the trench coat sneered.

"If you forget, I can remind you, don't you still control a health club with a market value of tens of millions? This mere one or two million in arrears is not just a matter of your words! ”

Xiaojie was still a little confused, but when he heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Xiaojie may not have the flexibility of Jiang Han, Chen Yanguan, or even Xiaoqiang, but he is definitely not a stupid person, otherwise the school's annual scholarship would not have ended up in his pocket.

Once he accidentally fell into the water, it may have been his own reason at first, but if he couldn't smell anything else when he heard the words of the man in the windbreaker, then he would have followed Jiang Han and Chen Yanguan in vain these days!

"You're ......!"

"What am I? Did Boss Liao remember? The man in the trench coat laughed.

Xiaojie's thoughts turned back and forth in his heart, recalling the reasons why he fell into the mud step by step, it seemed that it was all his own reason, but there was not necessarily no greasy in it!

"If you think about it, Boss Liao will be able to settle the account! I don't pick, let's go straight to the bank transfer! The trench coat man continued.

Xiao Jie's gaze became cold, and the fear in his heart before disappeared in an instant!

"I don't have any money, the money you said is not mine, and I can't touch a penny!"

If he wants to embezzle the funds allocated to him by Jianghan Chen Yanguan for personal use, how can he still have the current talk of usury gambling, whether he is calculated by someone with a heart or not, the matter of those money is not negotiable!

In front of Jiang Han and Chen Yanguan, he already felt that he had lost all his face, and it was impossible for him to trample on the ground what little dignity he had left!

The man in the trench coat's face sank, and he said darkly: "Boss Liao, think about it clearly, as long as you can move the money, it is yours, since it is your money, use it for yourself to do things, there is nothing wrong!" ”

"Don't dream, I will pay back the money I owe you later, but I will never touch a penny in the company's account, save it!"

"Don't fucking give a shame! Lao Tzu kindly showed you a clear way, if you don't listen, forget it, but today you have to pay back the money, if you don't pay it back, you have to pay it back, you say that the money is not yours, that's okay, this hand, foot and limbs and your life is your own after all, if you don't have money to pay back today, I won't want you, after all, we don't do loss-making business, but it's still very simple to leave you with one leg and one hand! ”

The man's cold voice echoed in Xiao Jie's ears, making people's hearts chill!

Xiao Jie's heart trembled, and he said angrily: "Even if you open a casino to lend, at least morality must be there, if you do this, who will dare to come to you to borrow money in the future!" ”

"Morality?!"

The man in the trench coat seemed to have heard a big joke, and slammed another punch on Xiaojie's stomach!

"Fuck the morality!"
