Chapter 1172: How Many Hands?
Fang Yang also looked at the door, only to see a young man with clear eyebrows standing there with a hint of panic on his face. {Biwei Chinese Novel}
The young man was about twenty years old, and probably because of the two days he had been imprisoned, he was a little dirty, with a visible stain on the front of his shirt, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Fang Yang knew that this should be Song Xiaoyun's younger brother Song Xiaolei.
Sure enough, after the young man saw Song Xiaoyun, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise and shame:
"Sister! What are you doing here? β
Song Xiaoyun couldn't help but have red eyes when he saw his younger brother wolf bèi, stepped forward and grabbed Song Xiaolei's hand, and said:
"If I don't come again, your life will be gone! Xiaolei, you ...... How long have you been abroad? That's a bad lesson...... Dare to gamble! And you bet so much, do you know that your parents are angry with you for heart disease! β
Song Xiaolei lowered his head in shame and shame, his teeth gently biting his lower lip, and he felt remorse in his heart.
Then, suddenly, he raised his head and said:
"Sister, you shouldn't have come! These people all eat people and don't spit out bones, and they specialize in pit Chinese compatriots. We...... We can't afford to pay for it, they're going to hold you ......"
The debt of three million US dollars is like a mountain pressing on Song Xiaolei's heart, he hasn't slept for a minute in the past two days, as soon as he closes his eyes, he sees the hideous faces of those thugs, and his mind is full of this huge gambling debt.
Song Xiaolei now knows that it is actually the casino itself that lends usury.
Now that the casino has released the word, as soon as the three-day deadline is up, if his family does not pay off the arrears for him, he will postpone one his finger for a day until all the fingers and toes are cut, and then pick off the tendons and throw them into the Atlantic.
Yes, the so-called recourse to the law by these people is actually all. In the vast majority of cases, they use violence to solve problems. And violence has proven to be the best way to solve problems. After two or three fingers are cut off, most people will do everything possible to pay off their debts, even if their families are in difficulty.
Thinking of the fierce expressions of those people, Song Xiaolei couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
I know the situation in my own home best. Song Xiaolei knew that even if the whole family smashed the pot and sold iron, it would be impossible to make up enough for three million US dollars, and the gap was too big, and the little money in the family was a drop in the bucket.
He had foreseen his tragic fate when the deadline came.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly taken out of the room in advance today, and then followed them to this room with a lot of anxiety, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his sister.
Song Xiaolei's first reaction was not to be happy, but to sink in his heart.
He already knew that behind the scenes at York Casino was actually in the hands of a Chinese gang in Atlantic City, and that these gangsters had no bottom line at all.
My sister came here, as long as she didn't bring enough money, not only would she not be able to save herself, but it was very likely that even she herself would be detained by the York Casino.
My sister is so beautiful, if she is detained in a casino and faces those evil and notorious gangsters, you can imagine what a tragic fate she will face......
However, as soon as Song Xiaolei's words fell, an arrogant voice sounded behind him:
"Boy! What are you talking about? What eats people and doesn't spit bones? Make it clear! Otherwise, I can sue you for slander! It's the ...... in the United States."
There was still a hint of smugness in the voice, and then a man in a suit and leather shoes swayed in.
This man is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although the suit is straight, but it gives people a sloppy feeling, obviously a white-collar elite dress, but there is a kind of gangsterism that is difficult to hide.
When Song Xiaolei heard this voice, he couldn't help but tremble, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
Song Xiaoyun hurriedly pulled Song Xiaolei to his side, protected his younger brother, and then looked at the man in a suit and leather shoes.
The man in the suit and leather shoes had a hint of cat and mouse on his face, and after clearing his throat, he asked solemnly:
"You are Mr. Song Xiaolei's family, right? I am Chen Shuisheng, the lawyer of York Casino, and this debt dispute will be handled by me on behalf of the casino! β
Chen Shuisheng spoke in a serious tone, but his eyes were quite dishonest, and his eyes glanced at Song Xiaoyun's plump chest several times with a lewd light.
Song Xiaoyun couldn't help but reach out and tidy up her clothes, and buttoned the top shirt button.
As soon as Fang Yang heard it, he knew that this Chen Shuisheng was the lawyer he had called. Originally, Fang Yang had been sitting on the sofa all the time, and even when Song Xiaoyun ran over to meet his younger brother excitedly, Fang Yang didn't get up. Now he stood up and took two steps forward, just between Song Xiaoyun and Chen Shuisheng.
Then Fang Yang said lightly:
"Lawyer Chen, right? Please wait a while, if we confirm that Xiaolei has not been violently harmed, we can pay back the money. β
Song Xiaolei had been paying attention to his sister all the time, and he didn't even notice that there was a person sitting on the sofa in the room. Now when he heard the words "pay back" that Fang Yang said, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fang Yang a few times, and then asked in a low voice:
"Sister...... Who is this? β
"Fang Yang, the big boss of my company." Song Xiaoyun glanced at Fang Yang with complicated eyes, and said, "Mr. Fang is specially accompanying me to deal with this matter this time, and he is also willing to lend us money......"
When Song Xiaolei heard this, he couldn't help but say:
"Sister, that's three million dollars! He...... Can your boss get that much money? β
Song Xiaoyun couldn't help glaring at Song Xiaolei and said:
"Are you embarrassed? Lost so much money at once, is it true that our family is running a banknote printing factory? β
Song Xiaolei suddenly lowered his head in shame.
Here, Chen Shuisheng shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent attitude:
"Please! Our casino has always been polite to guests, even if he loses all his money, even if he owes us three million, we are still delicious and drinkable, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Song himself! β
Fang Yang set his eyes on Song Xiaolei and asked:
"Xiaolei, have they abused you in the past two days? Have you been beaten or intimidated? β
Song Xiaolei hurriedly shook his head and said:
"Mr. Fang, none of this is ......"
Because Fan Zihao has been in Atlantic City recently, and he has been relatively strict with the casino, the people below basically don't dare to mess around, but Song Xiaolei really didn't suffer much.
It's just that he knows that if he doesn't pay for it tomorrow, then these people will definitely turn their faces when they say they'll turn their faces, because they've seen it once.
There was a tourist from China who also fell into their trap and owed more than one million US dollars, about two days earlier than Song Xiaolei, and they also gave him three days to raise money, but the tourist did not raise enough money, and there was a difference of about 200,000 US dollars.
So the gang really cut off the tourist's thumb. In order to deter Song Xiaolei, they also brought Song Xiaolei to the scene and "observed" the whole process at close range, which is also their common trick.
The miserable howl of the tourist crying and grabbing the ground and the bloody scene left an indelible impression on Song Xiaolei, and he was so frightened that he almost urinated on the spot, and he also left a huge shadow in his heart.
Of course, Song Xiaolei didn't dare to say it in front of Chen Shuisheng.
"It's really not even intimidating?" Fang Yang looked at Song Xiaolei thoughtfully and asked.
This kid was frightened at first glance, if the gang at York Casino hadn't intimidated him, Fang Yang wouldn't have believed it.
Chen Shuisheng pursed his lips and glanced at Song Xiaolei lazily, but his eyes were full of warnings.
Song Xiaolei didn't dare to look at Chen Shuisheng at all, and the work of cutting people's thumbs that day was personally handled by the well-dressed lawyer Chen in front of him, in Song Xiaolei's mind, this so-called lawyer with a thin figure was simply like a demon.
Song Xiaolei lowered his head and said:
"Not really, except for not letting me go...... Everything else is fine. β
Chen Shuisheng laughed when he heard this, and said:
"Do you hear that, gentleman? Our York Casino is a formally operated casino, and the lending is also in accordance with the law, how can we do those illegal things? β
Then Chen Shuisheng continued:
"Okay, now there's no problem, right? Isn't it time to pay? β
Fang Yang glanced at Song Xiaolei, and then looked at Chen Shuisheng, the corners of his mouth slightly curled upward, and said:
"Okay!"
Chen Shuisheng snapped his fingers and said:
"Refreshing! I just like to deal with cheerful people. By the way, this gentleman, I haven't asked you for your last name! β
Maybe it was because he thought that he would get the money soon, Chen Shuisheng was in a good mood, and even his tone was a little polite.
"Don't give your surname Fang." Fang Yang said lightly.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Song has borrowed a total of three million US dollars from our casino, and as of today, you need to repay a total of three million US dollars with interest, this is a copy of the IOU and the details, you can take a look at it first." "As soon as we confirm that we have received the arrears, the original IOU will be returned to you immediately." β
Fang Yang had already seen the fax in China, and he knew that Song Xiaolei would definitely have less than three million in his hands, but it was useless to say anything now, because there were so many black and white words on the IOU, and there was Song Xiaolei's autograph, and this loan was protected by law.
Therefore, Fang Yang didn't look carefully, he took it and glanced at it twice, then nodded and said:
"No problem."
Then Fang Yang took out the checkbook from the inner pocket of his suit, wrote the amount with brushes, no more, no less than three million US dollars, and then Fang Yang signed his name, then tore off the check and handed it to Chen Shuisheng, saying:
"It's a Swiss bank cheque that can be cashed at any time."
Chen Shuisheng showed a greedy look in his eyes, he reached out and took the check and checked it carefully, he didn't find any problem for a long time, this check was originally genuine, and Fang Yang never thought of using a fake check to fool them.
Fang Yang didn't bother to do that.
Chen Shuisheng carefully put away the check, and then said:
"Mr. Fang, for the sake of insurance, we will send someone to the bank to cash this check immediately. I'd like to take a break here, and if the check is okay, we'll return the IOU right away! β
Fang Yang glanced at Chen Shuisheng, then walked to the coffee table and opened his carry-on bag, took out a camera that had been placed inside in advance, and said meaningfully:
"I also recorded everything just now just to be on the safe side. I think...... Lawyer Chen shouldn't swallow my money, right? β
The expression on Chen Shuisheng's face froze, and his smile became a little unnatural:
"Mr. Fang, you are thinking too much, our casino has always had a good reputation, how could you do such a despicable thing?"
"That's good!" Fang Yang smiled faintly and said, "Lawyer Chen, please!" β
After Chen Shuisheng left, there were only two sisters and brothers left in the house, Xia Yang and Song Xiaoyun.
Of course, with a slight sweep of Fang Yang's senses, he knew that there were two big men with big shoulders and round waists standing at the door, and they were both carrying weapons and a large-caliber pistol each.
Fang Yang naturally didn't pay attention to this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's force at all, and still sat on the sofa with a calm expression, chatting with Song Xiaoyun's sister and brother.
After knowing Fang Yang's identity, especially when he saw Fang Yang casually sign out a check for more than three million US dollars, Song Xiaolei looked a little restrained, while Song Xiaoyun was worried that the more than three million US dollars would be swallowed by the casino, and he was always worried in his heart, so everyone chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
After about half an hour, the door of the room was pushed open, and Chen Shuisheng walked in with a smile on his face and said to Song Xiaolei:
"Congratulations, Mr. Song, now you and our casino have been cleared."
After speaking, he handed the original IOU to Song Xiaolei and said:
"Mr. Song, this is your IOU, please check if there is any problem."
Song Xiaolei was stunned in place, but Song Xiaoyun gently pulled his clothes, he came back to his senses, quickly took the IOU, read it several times, and then nodded to Fang Yang and Song Xiaoyun.
Fang Yang reached out and took the IOU from Song Xiaolei's hand, lit the ZIPP lighter with a "ding", and then casually threw it into the ashtray on the coffee table and watched it burn to ashes.
Fang Yang said with a smile:
"Now it's clear! Mr. Chen, can we go? β
"Of course!" Chen Shuisheng glanced at Song Xiaoyun with burning eyes and said, "Mr. Song is already free, you can leave at any time!" β
But he said unwillingly in his heart: Hmph! If it weren't for Brother Hao's daily emphasis on transformation, Lao Tzu would not only swallow your three million today, but also sleep with your delicate girlfriend!
Song Xiaoyun also felt Chen Shuisheng's undisguised lewd gaze, felt uncomfortable, frowned and said:
"Mr. Fang, let's go!"
Fang Yang nodded and took the lead in walking out of the room.
Chen Shuisheng took two big men with a big shape, accompanied Fang Yang and the three of them to the elevator entrance, took the elevator back to the fourth floor, and then crossed the covered bridge to enter the main building of the casino, and then walked down from the stairs to the lobby on the first floor of the casino.
It was close to noon and the casino was already open.
Business at noon is naturally not as hot as at night, but there are already many gamblers shuttling between various gambling tables, Fang Yang paid attention to it, the people who come to York Casino to gamble money are really the majority of the Oriental faces, and I don't know if it is arranged by the casino itself, or it is deceived by those "salesmen" all over the United States to come here for recreation.
Chen Shuisheng noticed Fang Yang's interested gaze, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is definitely a "fat sheep" much bigger than Song Xiaolei!
Chen Shuisheng stepped forward and asked with a smile:
"Mr. Fang, are you interested in playing two? We have very complete facilities here, and we can't find such a good place in China where you can gamble openly! β
When Song Xiaoyun heard this, he hurriedly leaned into Fang Yang's ear and whispered:
"Mr. Fang, don't be fooled, there is a problem with this casino......"
Although Chen Shuisheng didn't hear what Song Xiaoyun said, he guessed seven or eight points based on her expression, so he simply added another fire and said:
"Mr. Fang should have just come from China! It's also fate for everyone to come all the way to see each other, so be it! I gave Mr. Fang a thousand dollars in chips, you can experience it at will in our casino, if you win, it will be your own, if you lose a thousand dollars, you can also leave at any time, you don't need to make any spending with us! β
The corners of Fang Yang's mouth curled up a little and said:
"Since Lawyer Chen is so enthusiastic, I might as well be respectful and stay and play a few games!"
