Chapter 140: Borrowing money
Li Shi remembered wrongly, his second uncle's son Zhou Lin had graduated from junior high school, his academic performance was poor, and his disgust with school was serious.
Although the waiter's salary is low, it is a normal job, but he didn't want to think that within a month, he suddenly called his parents and said that he and his friend went to Nanyun Province to work, and said that his friend had a way in Nanyun Province and could make a lot of money.
After a period of time, he repeatedly asked his parents for money on the pretext of buying daily necessities, replacing his mobile phone, and not being able to afford to eat.
At first, his parents looked at the circle of friends he posted, and they felt quite normal, and they didn't suspect it, but after a long time, while saying that they had a normal job, they kept asking for money from their families, and they refused to make video calls, only willing to call and send WeChat, and his parents gradually became suspicious, but no matter how they asked, he just refused to tell the truth.
It wasn't until a few days ago that he suddenly called back in the early hours of the morning and cried to his father to tell the truth.
It turned out that he was deceived by netizens to Nam Yun Province, and then sold to Myanmar.
"Your second uncle said that the person who deceived Zhou Lin was a woman, and at first he said that he wanted to be friends with Zhou Lin, and he also said that he would take him to Nanyun to make a lot of money, and he could earn millions a year." Zhou Xiaocui sighed, "There will be no pie in the sky, Zhou Lin is ......"
Li Shi thought to himself, this kind of scam at first glance, and even the other party may not be a woman at all, but the so-called authorities are fans.
"And now?" he asked. ”
Zhou Xiaocui sighed and said: "Those people sent a video to your second uncle, in the video, Zhou Lin was injured everywhere, and they also asked for a ransom of 300,000 yuan, saying that they would release them if they gave 300,000 yuan, otherwise they would fight every day, and they would cut off Zhou Lin's fingers, your second uncle is now borrowing money everywhere, and he also opened his mouth to me today, stone, you said this ......"
Li Shi knew what his mother meant as soon as he heard it.
Although I haven't had much contact with my relatives over there over the years, after all, it is my mother's blood relative, and when I encounter this kind of thing, my kind mother will definitely be moved by compassion.
It's just that my mother always put herself first, even if she wanted to lend her brother money, she still called her first to tell her.
Li Shi didn't say anything right away, and asked, "Did you call the police?" ”
"The other party threatened that as long as he called the police, he would immediately cut off Zhou Lin's hand, and he would pull him to sell his kidney, your second uncle wanted to call the police at first, but your second aunt was so scared that he didn't dare to let him report it."
Li Shi asked again: "Did the second uncle say how much to borrow?" ”
"I said I wanted to borrow 100,000."
Li Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Mom, this money can be borrowed, but you have to make it clear to the second uncle, that kind of liar's words can't be trusted, if you don't call the police, this time the ransom is given, and the other party is likely to ask for more money...... Anyway, on our side, we only borrow this 100,000. ”
Zhou Xiaocui heard Li Shi say this, she has always trusted her son the most, and immediately said: "Shi, you mean, it's best to call the police first, right?" ”
"Well, you first transfer 100,000 yuan to the second uncle, and then say this, lest he think that we are unwilling to borrow money to make excuses, and you can also make it clear that whether to report to the police or not has to be decided by themselves."
"Okay, okay."
After chatting with his mother and hanging up the phone, Li Shi immediately transferred 200,000 yuan to his mother's account, and then went to his grandmother's WeChat group to take a look.
There is no chat history in the group, and no one has spoken for several days.
He thought about it for a while and sent a message to Lu Congwei: "Brother, are you busy now, I want to ask you about something." ”
Then he returned to the chat interface with Jiang Tianpeng, and he had already sent several messages:
"You fellow is learning Gongbi characters, Xijing Academy of Fine Arts is one of the top art academies in China, and you can be admitted, for amateurs like us, it is not an ordinary person, you just learned, it must be enough to teach you."
"You just said that Mr. Wang introduced you."
I followed with my contact information.
Li Shixian hurriedly replied: "I'm sorry, brother, I just answered a phone call for something, thank you!" ”
"It's okay, by the way, will you go to Jieyang Public Market next month?"
Li Shi replied: "I haven't decided yet, let's see if I have time then." ”
After chatting with Jiang Tianpeng for a few words, Li Shi looked at the contact information he sent: Baoqing Guo Film Studio, phone 187......
Li Shi didn't rush to contact the other party, and first searched the studio on the Internet, but found nothing.
He thought about it, searched for his mobile phone number with WeChat, and then applied to add the other party as a friend.
"Let's get in touch first."
Li Shi put down his mobile phone, clicked on the play tutorial on the tablet, and continued to learn "Beethoven's Half-Faced Painting Steps", after watching it for a few minutes, he found that he couldn't read it, and he always went to see if there was any new news on the phone.
At first, I thought I was waiting for the friend I had just applied to pass, but later I realized that I was actually waiting for Lu Congwei's reply.
picked up the phone, clicked on WeChat and took a look, or called Lu Congwei.
The call was answered quickly.
"Brother Stone, what's wrong?"
"That's right, I have a relative......"
Li Shi told his cousin about being deceived into going to Myanmar, and asked: "Brother, you are more familiar with Myanmar, how do you say this matter should be handled?" If the ransom is paid, will they be released directly? ”
Lu Congwei immediately said: "It's hard to say, I've seen a lot of similar situations over the years, some of them are indeed released after the ransom is given, but more of them won't be released, and most of the people who are finally rescued rely on the efforts of the police and the National Immigration Bureau...... If only a few years ago, I could have asked someone to help you inquire, but now it's too chaotic over there, and my brother's relationship with me can't reach it, alas. ”
Lu Congwei is just an ordinary jade merchant, he is now in the past, he doesn't dare to run around, and only looks at and buys goods in a relatively safe area.
After chatting for a while, Li Shi hung up the phone, and his mind was much calmer.
Although this call didn't help,
But he did his best.
At least he felt like he did his best.
If he used the study panel, he could have gone to Myanmar and rescued people, but that would have taken a lot of risk, and he couldn't have done it.
Not to mention a cousin who has no contact with him from a young age to a big one, and has not even said a few words, even if he has other relatives who have a good relationship, Li Shi will not do this.
At present, there is only one and a half people in the world who will let him take this risk, his mother is one, and Chen Qiuye can only be counted as half for the time being.
He doesn't feel like he's being selfish.
It's just human nature.
Re-click the tutorial on the tablet to play, Li Shi studied carefully for more than ten minutes, WeChat sounded, and that Guo Ying passed the friend application.
"Hello, you're Mr. Li Shi, right? Do you want to learn how to sketch? ”
Li Shi chatted and talked about his own situation.
Guo Ying said: "Mr. Li, if you are in a hurry to learn now, it may be too late in time, I also brought a few students who took the art joint examination in December, but if you just learn the basic skills of drawing, I can introduce my girlfriend to take you, she graduated from Sichuan Art Education, and her sketching skills are more solid than mine." ”
