Chapter 37: Good Samaritans
Almost all the security officers on Haibin Street in Nancheng were dispatched, and more than 20 security officers were lined up to maintain order.
Although there are many rich people living on this street, and they have seen a lot of the world, this is the first time that this kind of thing is maintained by the security guards and helps others pay off their debts in the courtyard. That night, this news spread and became a topic of conversation in Huaihua City for a long time, but that's for later.
In the brightly lit courtyard, a small man put a crumpled IOU on the table, coughed dryly and said:
"That, that, Lao Wu, he ...... Twenty-eight copper coins are owed to me, all, all, all three years! I'm kind, I won't count the interest, just pay back my principal. β
When Xiang Chen Liuling was sighing that there were still good people, Wu Qian's face changed suddenly.
"You talk nonsense! I paid back the money, I remember it clearly! If you don't believe me, check the records! When I returned the money to you, you said that you couldn't find the IOU, so you didn't give me the IOU.
However, I was afraid that you would cheat me, because this kind of thing has happened to my family many times! So, I asked you to write me a receipt at the time! The receipt is in my room, I'll go get it now! You wait! β
Wu Qian said, jumped up and was about to go back to the room to get the receipt. The little man was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed Wu Qian and said:
"Hey, me, I, I'm a momentary mistake, that, that, that's it."
Turning around and wanting to run, Blank stood up, grabbed him like an eagle catching a chicken, and threw it at several vigilantes:
"This person is trying to defraud and illegally embezzle other people's property. Although the amount is not large, but the behavior is bad, according to the criminal law of Cang Langguo, depending on the severity of the circumstances and the size of the amount, at least three months of hard labor and a fine! β
The little man was trapped by the vigilantes left and right, and he was handcuffed on the spot, and when he heard what Blank said, his legs were weak with fright, and he said with a sad face:
"Wronged, spare me, I didn't mean it!"
"You've been here for so long, can't you remember whether someone else paid back your money or not? It's clearly an intentional scam! As he spoke, Blank glanced coldly at the people in line and said, "You have all thought it through, but if you find that you are pretending to be confused and making trouble, the Xiang family will definitely explain the reason to the judge, and they will be punished severely!" β
Blank's trick was quite effective, and before he could finish speaking, several people sneaked out of the queue of debt collection teams.
When I heard that it was going to be dealt with severely, some people quietly escaped from the team.
Looking at this scene, Xiang Chen Liuling couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: I am really too naΓ―ve! I actually thought that the little man was a good person because he said that he would not charge interest, alas, well-wishers are going to be deceived by these liars!
After such a farce, the so-called creditors have decreased a lot, and the speed has also been much faster.
Xiang Chen Liuling sat in a wheelchair, recording one by one, and found that this Wu Xiaotian was really a wonder, and there was no limit to the amount of money he could borrow! Most of them are tens of copper coins, which are not very large amounts. It can be seen that on weekdays, I am used to paying debts everywhere, and dozens of copper coins are not a big number for ordinary people, and others are not too embarrassed to always come to the door to ask for them.
After most of the people left, Xiang Chen Liuling found a familiar bald head, which was the pony of Desheng Casino.
Pony is different from others, who are holding IOUs to collect debts, but he is holding a large bouquet of roses.
When the pony walked up to Blanc and the others with the roses in his hand, everyone stared at him with puzzled eyes.
The pony was expressionless and stuffed the rose into Xiang Chen Liuling's hand: "Brother Scumbag gave it to you." β
"Huh?" Xiang Chen Liuling's brain couldn't turn a corner, what did it mean to give her roses? And seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, he couldn't help but wonder: "You're not here to ask for an account?" Didn't Wu Xiaotian also owe you a lot of money in Desheng Casino? Didn't he know that we were going to help Wu Xiaotian repay the money? β
The pony puppet was stunned, then turned around and owed to Xiang Chen Liuling, still expressionless:
"Brother Scumbag heard about this, but Brother Scumbag said, today you came to the casino to win far more than Wu Xiaotian owes. You don't take such righteousness, Brother Scumbag really wants to make you a friend, so he also does good deeds, and Wu Xiaotian owes Desheng Casino the account he bears. β
With that, the pony saluted again, turned and left.
Xiang Chen Liuling was stunned, what is this scumbag doing? After a few turns of thought, I suddenly understood. With today's Blanc method of only winning and not losing, can't he win all the Desheng casinos? Now they are the first to show goodwill, firstly, they can buy a favor from the Xiang family for such a small amount of money, and secondly, they can prevent Blank, the "God of Gamblers", from sweeping their field again.
After thinking about this truth, he looked down at the roses in his hand, and said in his heart: Why do you send roses? Oh! I guess I saw the roses on my clothes and thought I liked them, right? Mmmm, a group of rough guys are quite careful!
Xiang Chen Liuling thought self-righteously, how did he know that this was Xiaoma in the flower shop and asked the clerk what flowers were suitable for the girl, and the clerk pointed to the rose without hesitation. Sometimes the truth is so simple, and the partial-life parties like to think about it.
It's not just Xiang Chen Liuling who thinks too much, but also Blank. At this time, he was staring at the roses in Xiang Chen Liuling's hand with an unkind face, half-squinting his eyes, and said in his heart: Bastard, Qiu Fan didn't look at what his identity was, and he dared to fight Liu Ling's idea! What roses do you send! Damn it!
At this time, there were only people from the Seahorse Club left in the courtyard, and this person looked at the people of Desheng Casino so arrogantly, and suddenly felt that his president was a little cowardly. It's so hard to describe, even if it's so picky, and I still want to hook up with this little fresh meat, tsk, it's really - beyond my strength!
"Ahem, I was sent by the Seahorse Society, just call me Xiao Deng." Xiao Deng laughed with him, handed over Wu Xiaotian's IOU, and said while they were checking:
"Our president said that you can't pay this money for nothing. The chairman asked people around to inquire about the news, which was the information of the woman who had ridden a motorcycle to find Wu Xiaotian. β
As he spoke, Xiao Deng put a small box on the table.
Blanc nodded faintly and thanked him, and after sending everyone away, he thanked the security guards again, and then it was over.
After tidying up the yard and turning on all the security guards, Wu Qian and Blank walked into the room.
Xiang Chen Liuling was crooked on the sofa, saw the two of them coming in, and waved his hand lazily:
"Good work. It's not too early, let's all rest. β
Before the words fell, Wu Qian knelt down in front of Xiang Chen Liuling with a puff, and Xiang Chen Liuling rolled off the sofa in fright. Fortunately, Blank's eyes were quick, grabbed her feet, and then knelt down on one knee and hugged her in his arms.
Xiang Chen Liuling's face turned red, patted Blank's hand and said, "Put me down!" Also, quickly help Wu Qian up, what is this for!? β
