Remember [58] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.

Lu Zhongze shook his head: "I have called the police, and when the police arrive, you can check the surveillance video of the hotel, but ......"

An Xi knew what he was going to say, even if it was just a video from the past 24 hours, it would take a long time to watch it a little bit, and the biggest possibility was that the two of them didn't go back to the hotel at all last night.

"It's so weird," Anxi rubbed her head to herself, "where can they go?" The all-night casino is located in the hotel, so you don't have to run away without a trace to play. ”

The efficiency of the local police was much slower than they expected. After the two police officers came to make a record, they had to wait for the surveillance because the surveillance involved privacy.

The incident alarmed Li Defu because he received a photo on his mobile phone, Li Chuanqing was sandwiched between two stout locals, looking terrified, one of them holding a piece of paper in his hand with a rather large number written on it, and the background should be in a casino somewhere.

Li Defu only understood under Cheng Yifei's reminder that this might be Li Chuanqing's gambling debt.

Although it is bad news, it is also a clue, and Anxi suggested that it be provided to the police immediately so that it can be investigated. However, the police's reply made them feel even more incredible, gambling is legal here, if you owe gambling money, just pay it back quickly, and the other party did not harm his body. According to local law, if Li Chuanqing refuses to repay this debt, the local prosecutor's office can issue a wanted warrant for him, and when the time comes, Li Chuanqing will be the one who violates the law.

The other party left an address and only sent an account information, but Li Defu's assets are mainly in China, and the amount of that debt is too big, and he won't be able to come up with so much cash for a while.

When he was at a loss, Li Defu received a phone call on his mobile phone, which was from a person who was honest and honest, and proposed the case of the trademark dispute, and was willing to settle with him out of court and pay an additional fee to completely buy out the two trademarks Zhenming and Defu Tang.

Li Defu heard what the person on the phone said, and he was so angry that the whole person trembled, to be honest, the price offered by the other party this time is fair, and after paying off Li Chuanqing's inexplicable gambling debts, there will still be a surplus. However, the value of Zhenming to Li Defu is not something that money can measure at all, and in his original plan, he never considered selling Zhenming.

I also know that Li Chuanqing disappeared for no reason and owed gambling debts, most of which were inseparable from people who were honest and honest, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, but at this time, he proposed to settle out of court.

After all, the only son is in the hands of others, and Li Defu is angry, but he doesn't dare to say a word of seriousness, only says that he will think about it before replying, and hangs up the phone.

After such a big incident, Cheng Yifei was very righteous, and he had been accompanying Li Defu, saying that he also had many business friends in the United States, so he could ask first if he could borrow some money, at least pay off the gambling debts first, and redeem Li Chuanqing.

An Xi subconsciously felt that this method would not work, if the people on Baicheng's side specially set up a trap for Li Chuanqing, then they would definitely not let the money be returned smoothly. But since Cheng Yifei saw her and Lu Zhongze appear together, he deliberately didn't say a word to her again, and An Xi could only swallow this sentence back.

There is really no other way to think of it, An Xi is very anxious, although this is not her scope of work, but she brought it to Las Vegas, and Ye Zi is still with Li Chuanqing.

Lu Zhongze rubbed An Xi's head, his face was much gloomy than usual, and he was silent for I don't know how long, he suddenly stood up and said to An Xi: "I'll make a call, you wait for me here." ”

He walked alone to the corner of the stairs and stood facing the ventilation window, An Xi could only see the back of him holding the phone, and could not hear what he was saying.

This phone call has been made for a long time, and Lu Zhongze has always maintained that fixed posture and has not changed at all. When he came back, his face was so calm that he didn't have any expression at all, and he only said to An Xi: "Wait and see, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

When Cheng Yifei heard this, he choked back on the spot: "Yes, wait and see, maybe the casino will be kind, and the money will be gone." You don't have to worry about it, it's not your son who is locked up anyway. ”

Lu Zhongze pursed his lips tightly, and his hand holding the phone tightened. An Xi hurriedly said: "Let's think about whether we can find which casino it is, at least we can come to negotiate." ”

But there are hundreds of casinos in Las Vegas, and the décor is similar, and a single photo alone is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

After Lu Zhongze finished saying that, he really didn't say a word anymore, sat in the corner, and took out his mobile phone from time to time to watch the news.

An Xi was also angry because of Cheng Yifei's words, and whispered to him: "Just look at Uncle Li and Ye Zi's face, it's more important to find someone quickly." ”

Lu Zhongze looked up at her, still with the same sentence of "wait and see".

An Xi didn't know if he was wrong, but he always felt that Lu Zhongze's eyes seemed to be very different from usual, not as confident as he always became, and even had a bit of decadent color.

In Cheng Yifei's cynicism, this incomparably long day finally arrived at night. The local TV station suddenly reported the incident during the news hour, saying that two Chinese tourists were missing, and the police did not take measures in time, and the words were quite sharp.

Anxi originally had neither time nor mood to watch TV at this time, but when he went to the restaurant to help Li Defu pick up food, he heard two Asian tourists next to him talking, and then he noticed it. The TV in the restaurant, which was broadcasting the news at the time, said with concern that the local police were discriminating against foreign tourists, and if an American citizen had disappeared, it would certainly not be the case.

The next morning, the situation escalated further, with not only several major local media outlets reporting on it, but also local Chinese groups, spontaneously organizing themselves and holding signs in front of the hotel to protest the police inaction.

This is a very favorable situation for the Anxi side, which is tantamount to putting pressure on the police in disguise, urging them to pay attention to this matter. But An Xi couldn't say anything wrong in his heart, these media were all for-profit, and they didn't take the initiative to contact them, how could they notice this for no reason? Moreover, the reports are all obviously tendentious, pointing the finger at the local police, making it clear that they are trying to help them.

Could it be the role of Lu Zhongze's phone call?

Anxi searched for information about these media on the Internet, and there seems to be nothing in common, except that there is a very large media group with varying shares of investment in these media.

She suddenly felt that maybe she really didn't know anything about Lu Zhongze as Xu Xinyan said, and he could move so many media with just a phone call and a mouth.

Under pressure from the media, the local police quickly reacted and found the casino, allowing Li Chuanqing to meet with Li Defu.

If the person finds it, the money still has to be returned. Cheng Yifei used his connections to find friends in the United States and made up some first. However, people's hearts are like this, it has always been easy to add icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, especially when I heard that it is gambling debts, many people can't hide, and thanks to Cheng Yifei's own righteousness, there are two people who have been helped by him in the past, and they took the money out.

For the rest, Li Defu can only go back to China to make up, and the casino is not barbaric, only asking that before the debt is paid off, Li Chuanqing can't leave the country, and Ye Zi can go back with them.

An Xi took Ye Zi back to the hotel first, and several people asked her what happened.

Ye Zi took a shower and drank a large cup of coffee, and then he was gradually able to speak: "Chuanqing and I came out of the church that day, and we didn't plan to gamble, we just wanted to find a place to have dinner. One of those sales ladies came over and said that the casino was giving away free chips and urged us to try our luck and say that if we won, there would be an extra prize. ”

"It was still early, and the saleslady was very good at talking, so I ...... We decided to go in and try it, picked the easiest 21, and at first won a little bit, but then slowly lost and lost all the chips we had given away. At this time, the saleswoman came again and said that the casino could continue to lend us chips, as long as the cash was replenished according to the chips actually spent at the end of the day. At that time, Chuanqing had already been on the road, and he felt that every time he was a little bit worse, and if he played a few more games, he would definitely be able to win a big one, so he borrowed it. ”

"I borrowed four times in total, all of them were lost, we had to leave, and then I realized that the face value of the chips there was different from other places, especially large, one was worth $100,000, and the ones that lost were already a large amount ......that could not be repaid."

It is already obvious that someone has long been eyeing Li Chuanqing, leading him step by step to owe a large amount of debt.

Li Defu was in a hurry to return to China, and it happened that the relevant part of the brand forum had ended, and Anxi immediately said that he would also return to China together. When she was about to book a plane ticket, Lu Zhongze said to her: "I won't go back first, I want to take a week or so off here, and I will tell Mr. Yang directly." ”

"Why are you taking a vacation at this time, is there something to deal with?" As a subordinate, this should not be asked, but An Xi felt that between her and Lu Zhongze, it should be more than just a subordinate and a boss.

But Lu Zhongze only gave an unusually brief answer: "Well, there is something." ”

The meaning of these three words is that he doesn't want to continue talking, An Xi thought that he would have to talk to him for at least a week, and he didn't have a chance to talk to him again, so he still asked the question in his heart: "Those media, did you contact them to report on this matter?" ”

Lu Zhongze was silent for a moment, and then refused: "Anxi, I don't want to talk about this now, okay?" ”
