Chapter 43
A few days later, Gu Xue received a call from Lin Sensen again, and the other party told her one thing on the phone: "Mr. Sheng was drunk yesterday, I drove him back, and he told me in the car that Mr. Wen asked Deng Xiaoqing to seduce Wen Ziyang, and also asked Deng Xiaoqing to take Wen Ziyang to the casino, and I heard that Wen Ziyang has lost tens of millions." ā
Gu Xue was puzzled, why did Wen Minxuan harm Wen Ziyang, so she asked again: "Did Sheng Zeyi say that why did Wen Minxuan do this?" ā
"Mr. Sheng didn't say it, but listening to his tone, he also inquired about this matter in private."
"You look for an opportunity to ask Sheng Zeyi again, pay attention to safety, and be careful not to expose yourself."
hung up the phone, Gu Xue still couldn't figure it out, why did Wen Minxuan do this? Old Man Wen is still alive, and Wen Minxuan began to frame his cousin and fight for the family property? Or is there another purpose?
Today is Friday, according to the usual practice, Wen Minxuan should go to the Wen Group office, at nine o'clock in the morning, he came to the company on time, just walked to the door of the office, assistant Xu Weijie informed him: "Mr. Wen, the second young master is waiting for you in the office." ā
The second young master was naturally referring to Wen Ziyang.
Wen Minxuan replied, "Got it", then pushed the door and walked into the office.
Wen Ziyang was in a worried mood, pacing in the room irritably, and when he saw Wen Minxuan coming in, he immediately said as if asking for help: "Brother, you must help me this time." ā
Wen Minxuan closed the door, walked unhurriedly to the executive desk, and put the briefcase in his hand on the table: "What's wrong?" ā
Wen Ziyang walked over and grabbed the other party's arm, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Can you lend me some money?" ā
Wen Minxuan patted him lightly and smiled: "Sit down and talk." ā
The two sat down face to face at the table, and Wen Ziyang briefly said about his gambling,
Wen Minxuan glanced at him: "Why don't you go to your uncle and aunt, they should pay off your debts for you." ā
Wen Ziyang heard this, and almost knelt down for him: "I can't let my parents know about this, and I can't let my grandfather know, if my grandfather knows that I went to gamble, then I will be miserable." Brother, help me, 8 million is not a lot of money for you, and I will definitely pay you back when I have the money. ā
However, Wen Minxuan showed a look of embarrassment: "Ziyang, it's not that I don't want to help you, I'm also very tight in the past two days, my money has been invested in the stock market, the stock market has fallen so badly recently, my stocks are all set, and I really can't come up with money to help you." ā
Wen Ziyang immediately wilted, drooping his head, looking listless, Wen Minxuan glanced at him, and suddenly changed his words: "However, you don't need to worry, it's only eight million, it's actually easy to solve." ā
Wen Ziyang raised his head suddenly: "How to solve it?" ā
"Don't you have a few payments in your hand? Isn't it okay to take some out of it? ā
"You mean, let me embezzle the company's money?" Wen Ziyang swallowed his saliva, looking a little flustered: "This is not very good, right?" In case it is discovered......"
Wen Minxuan smiled: "Don't worry, with me blocking for you, no one will find out, besides, you just borrowed it and used it, and you will return it when you have the money." ā

On weekends, Sui Yun drove the car and took Gu Xue out shopping, and they both wore hats and sunglasses to try not to be recognized by others.
After shopping all morning, buying a lot of things, and both of them were hungry, Gu Xueti yƬ went to a noodle restaurant in the alley for lunch, she had seen the introduction of the noodle restaurant in a food show, it is said that it is a century-old shop, and the braised beef noodles in the store are very famous.
Gu Xue found the alley with her impression, but she couldn't find the noodle shop, the two walked around the alley for a long time, but they didn't find the shop, but they saw acquaintances.
"Is that Wen Ziyang and Deng Xiaoqing?" Sui Yun pointed to the two figures not far away and asked Gu Xue in a low voice.
Gu Xue glanced in the direction he was pointing, and then replied, "It should be them." ā
While speaking, Wen Ziyang and Deng Xiaoqing had already entered a private house, and Gu Xue and Sui Yun also followed together.
It was a very ordinary tiled house, no different from the other houses in the alley, and at first glance, it was not at all conspicuous, but strangely enough, several windows in the house were nailed with wooden boards, as if deliberately not being seen by outsiders.
What is Wen Ziyang doing here?
Gu Xue was a little puzzled, she and Sui Yun stood nearby for a while, and then saw two young people walking towards the room, and after a short knock on the door, a bald head poked his head out of the house and talked to the two people outside the door.
Their voices were not loud, and they only vaguely heard a sentence "Brother Kun introduced us", and after chatting a few words, the bald head opened the door and let the two into the house.
Gu Xue suddenly remembered what Lin Sensen had told her, and immediately reacted: "I guess, there may be an underground casino hidden here." ā
"Casino?" Sui Yun frowned: "Wen Ziyang went out to gamble, didn't the Wen family care about him?" ā
Gu Xue pouted: "His family probably doesn't know yet, I remember that Grandpa Wen hates others gambling the most, if he knows that his grandson is coming to the casino, he will definitely not spare it." ā
She paused, and continued: "This is actually Wen Minxuan's ghost, he deliberately asked Deng Xiaoqing to take Wen Ziyang to the casino, I don't know why he did it, but there must be his purpose." ā
Sui Yun didn't say anything, his eyes kept staring at the house opposite, Gu Xue pulled him: "Let's go." ā
Sui Yun suddenly said, "I want to go in and bring Wen Ziyang out." ā
Gu Xue was stunned: "Are you sure?" ā
"He is my cousin after all, I don't want to see him fall, and Grandpa Wen definitely doesn't want to see him like this."
Sui Yun's tone was very firm, Gu Xue stared at him for a while, and finally compromised: "Okay, but if he refuses to go with you, don't force it, this kind of casino is generally backed by the underworld, let's not cause trouble." ā
The two walked to the tiled house, knocked lightly on the door, and a bald head poked its head out of the door: "Who are you looking for?" ā
Gu Xue smiled and repeated the words of the two young men just now: "It was Brother Kun who introduced us." ā
"What did you introduce you to?"
"He said, you can play two games here, so here we are."
The bald head opened the door and let the two in, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party wearing sunglasses, and it was understandable that the person who came to gamble didn't want to be recognized by acquaintances.
The casino was built in the basement.
Walking down a flight of stairs, the view suddenly widens, the basement is very large, and there are more than a dozen tables around the scene, some of them play cards, some of them play dice, and some even play roulette.
Wen Ziyang was carrying a bunch of chips and squeezed among those people, his luck was good today, so he was in a particularly good mood, and after playing a few games, he got up and went to the toilet.
He came to the urinal, hummed a song, and unzipped the placket, a man wearing sunglasses came over and stood side by side with him, Wen Ziyang didn't care, and continued to hum a song there.
When he was done and just wanted to leave, the man suddenly opened his mouth: "Nine out of ten bets are lost, the longer you gamble, the worse you lose, Wen Ershao, I advise you to stop as soon as possible." ā
Wen Ziyang glanced back at the other party, and snorted disdainfully, "Who are you?" Do you want to take care of my business? ā
After he finished speaking, he strode out of the toilet, and Sui Yun immediately followed: "Have you ever thought about your parents and your grandfather?" Your grandfather hates gambling so much, and you still come to this kind of place, do you want to anger him? ā
Wen Ziyang stopped his steps and looked at Sui Yun suspiciously: "Who are you?" ā
Sui Yun stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Come with me, don't come here again in the future, your grandfather will definitely be sad if he sees you like this." ā
Wen Ziyang was a little moved by what he said, and lowered his head in silence, as if he was hesitating, but at this time, a sweet female voice suddenly came from the front: "Ziyang." ā
As soon as Wen Ziyang looked up, he saw Deng Xiaoqing standing not far away, waving to this side, Wen Ziyang immediately wanted to walk towards her, but Sui Yun dragged him and refused to let go: "Don't go over, she is harming you." ā
"Nonsense." Wen Ziyang was a little annoyed, why did this guy slander his girlfriend? Xiao Qing is not this kind of person.
He shook his arm vigorously and yelled, "You let me go." ā
Sui Yun still dragged him and didn't let go, the two of them fought with each other, the movement here alarmed the security guards in the casino, a man with five big and three thick looked here, Gu Xue hurriedly ran over and pulled Sui Yun: "The security guard is here, you let him go quickly." ā
Sui Yun calmed down and finally let go of Wen Ziyang. Wen Ziyang glanced at Gu Xue coldly, didn't greet her, and directly pulled Deng Xiaoqing and walked away.
Several people returned to the casino, Wen Ziyang and Deng Xiaoqing sat in the middle of the roulette table, while Sui Yun and Gu Xue played cards at the other table.
In order not to make others suspicious, Sui Yun also gambled a little, however, his attention was on the two people at the next table.
After coming back from the toilet, Wen Ziyang began to have bad luck, losing several rounds in a row, he didn't believe in evil, and gambled a few more, as a result, not only lost all the money he won before, but also lost the principal.
Wen Ziyang was very frustrated, and was about to get up and leave the casino, when a man with a tattoo on his arm suddenly walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Young Master Wen, why don't you play?" ā
"It's all lost, and there's no money to play." Wen Ziyang replied dejectedly:
The tattooed man smiled: "That's not easy, I'll lend it to you." ā
Wen Ziyang naturally understood what the other party meant, he had borrowed loan sharks here before, and he knew everything about the rules. Although he really wanted to turn over the book, he had just embezzled 8 million from the company two days ago to pay off his gambling debts, and the gap in that money had not yet been closed.
Deng Xiaoqing saw him hesitating, and hurriedly pouted: "Ziyang, maybe the luck will turn around in the next game, but it's a pity to leave now." ā
As soon as she said this, Wen Ziyang couldn't make up her mind.
Gu Xue saw this scene and couldn't help but shake her head: "The usual trick of the casino is to pretend to lend you money kindly, but in fact, they are borrowing you from usury, once you fall for it, it will be troublesome in the future." ā
Sui Yun frowned: "In just such a moment, Wen Ziyang has already lost more than two million, if he continues to gamble, I don't know how much debt he will owe?" ā
"Then what can be done, persuade him, but he will not listen." Gu Xue expressed helplessness.
Sui Yun thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you have his mobile phone number?" ā
"There should be." During the time when Gu Xue and Wen Minxuan were engaged, Wen Ziyang's attitude towards Gu Xue was quite good, and Gu Xue remembered that she had saved the other party's mobile phone number. She took out her phone, flipped through the address book, and soon found it.
Sui Yun saved Wen Ziyang's number into his mobile phone, Gu Xue leaned into his ear and asked softly, "What are you doing with his number?" ā
"I'm going to call him, I can't get him to borrow any more loan sharks."
Sui Yun got up and walked in the direction of the bathroom, he walked to the toilet cubicle, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Wen Ziyang.
"Hey, is it Mr. Wen Ziyang?" Sui Yun deliberately lowered his voice to make his voice sound more mature.
"It's me, who are you?" Wen Ziyang replied on the other end of the phone.
"Your mother was in a car accident and is currently being rescued at the First People's Hospital, please come over immediately."
"What? Okay, I'll go over right away. ā
Sui Yun put away his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did this to touch Xie Wanru's moldy head, which was a bit unkind, but he finally saved Wen Ziyang once, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue.
After Wen Ziyang put down his phone, his face changed, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran out, Deng Xiaoqing called him behind, and he didn't pay attention.
After coming out of the casino, Gu Xue asked Sui Yun, "What did you say to Wen Ziyang on the phone just now?" He didn't even care about Deng Xiaoqing, and ran away directly. ā
Sui Yun smiled: "I told him that his mother had a car accident and asked him to come to the hospital quickly." ā
Gu Xue was speechless: "You are really poisonous." ā
"No way, I don't say that, how can he be willing to leave?"
Sui Yun took Gu Xue's hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers and strolled leisurely in the alley.
Gu Xue suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, the symptoms are not the root cause, he is gone this time, but he will come next time, you can't keep an eye on him every time." ā
Sui Yun pondered for a while and asked, "Is there any way to make him quit gambling completely?" ā
Gu Xue looked at him with a stern expression: "I'm afraid that some people don't want him to quit gambling." ā
